Subwoofers / Speakers

I just got a 16Kv.2 for free, the spider was destroyed, and the cone and coil were both seperated from the spider, does anyone have a recone kit? eD doesn't sell them anymore.

so, my friend Jeremiah tells me that his brother in law Sean was throwing away some vintage 70s 15" pioneers, so I was like sweet drop that shit in your trunk, I'll give you a holla' in 4 to 5 hours. so about 5 hours later, I showed up at his house, he told me Sean had ripped the woofers up to keep people from taking em. well, they werent actually in bad shape ;o the mids and tweets are destroyed, nothing I cant get off parts express for 50$ or less, I was more interested in the 15s for sub use (5.1 stereo with integrated subwoofer amp, my 8 that came with it was sold right after I got my 18 so I could buy some wood for it XD ) cause frankly, a 200hz crossover point mean…

150.6 @50hz 147.3 @32hz on 3,000wrms NO audible Port noise. It does exactly as i planned it to do- its loud wide enough frequency band Good initial Numbers and looks SEXXXXY Woofs have only been in a few hours- but i'd consider this a success -Drew

Does anyone know the gap measurments of the older MJ motor?

Well, no return to my Email, or my PM on CA and I dont beleive your on ****, this is the last place I can try. Its weird, Mach5 is usually really good at returning my Emails. I am interested in knowing when I can order SVC2 ohm recones. I need 2 Recones and 1 basket (needed 2 but I found one MJ basket quicker then you guys responded). If I cant order them yet, please let me know when I may be able to order them, instead of ignoring me. Also if you could PM me a price for 2 SVC2 recones + 1 basket shipped to 53597 that would be great. I know the SCV4 price, but I know the driver price changed a little. Please give me confidance in your company again. I am starting to regr…

i have one dual voice coil 4 ohm sub. i wired it to 2 ohm. i checked the resistance with a DMM and the read out i got was 2.5 ohms. is this normal? also when setting my gain should i use the formula 500 watts x 2 ohm = sqrt (1000) = 31.62 or should i do 500 watts x 2.5 ohm???

hey there.. i have made some mistakes on my box and now i am attempting to fix it. i need to know the displacement of an aq hdc3 15. side note: my box is unintentionally tuned at 30hz.. re-tuning will be at about 38hz.. will i hear a noticeable difference in audible sound after the re-tune??

I'm trying to decide If I should go with one SAZ-4500D or two 3500D's to power (2) 18" FI BTL's fully loaded. I had my mind pretty set on the saz-4500D, but Ive read that plenty of guys are running the fully loaded btl's way over 3k each so I dont think that the saz-4500D could get the most out of the two btl's running at normal volts of 12.8-14.5 So what amp do you guys think i should go with or whats the better idea? Thanks, Mike P.

ok i curently have a set of rsd65cs installed. im getting rdy to install new door panels and i dont want to cut holes for tweets. do you think installing coax in all factory locations would sound better then my current comps? was going to go to front 3 1/2 kappa 32.7's in the dash kappa 652.7i in the doors ran in parallel and kappa 692.7i in the rear. was thinking of getting a sd 100.4 or dc 120.4

Trunk is small. Box can't be any taller than 12" so I'm limited to the 10" icon. I love deep bass, but SPL is going to be my number one concern. Ride is a 2005 mustang and I'm going for a DD setup, so I don't want a one note wonder. I'd plan on doing the recommended 1.35 cubes tuned on the lower range of 27-33hz. I'm hoping this would be a loud setup. Hopefully louder than a ED 13av.2 sealed in 1 cube (my previous setup). Height and width of box are 12x33 leaving depth to be whatever it needs to be for the optimal box.

On certain bass beats my rlp 12 makes a funny noise. Its the kick drum or bass punch type that makes it do the sounds. Its being run by a saz 1000d. Blowjob unit . . i mean head unit is the discontinued pioneer deh-p440 if that helps any. It runs through test tones without making the sound. I took it out of the box and visually nothing looks wrong. I pushed down on the cone and heard no scraping. It makes the sound at not even half excursion and can only be heard when i come close to it but i know its not healthy for the sub. It sounds like its heavily distorting but with a more metallic sound to it if that makes sense. Does anybody have any ideas? Did something get stuck…

I have 2-Eminence Alpha-6A(6.5" midranges) in all 4 doors on a Sundown Audio Sax125.2 that will be hear Wednesday. I plan on deadening the door frame and panel with Damplifier Pro but plan on putting these on top of the Damplifier Pro and positioned right behind each speaker. Will these be Deflex Power Pads(link below) useful or is Damplifier Pro all I need? If it is useful then will car rubber floor mats work just as good or are these made out of completely different material? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=268-242%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&FTR=deflex%20speaker%20pad&CFID=11884925&CFTOKEN=17974532 Thanks for the input.

Ok so recently I have really been itching to do a nice front stage to go along with my sub stage. I don't really know what active/passive really is. I also don't know if my h/u is capable of going active. I was looking to get a sax100.4. I need advice on what mids and highs to get. I am currently running all pioneer 61/2's an 4X6's. No real spending limit, well there is I guess but I can always save up moola.

Ok so yesterday i smelt a weird ass smell. It almost smelt like manure or something. Then I smelt it again today, twice. The second time i popped the trunk and stuck my nose in the port.. found the source of the funk... It was a burning smell. I was listening to music at full tilt which i regularly do. The oinly change i've made was putting on the loudness feature on my headunit. So what's the deal? The spider is fine and the voice coils look ok but they have spots on them that look like rust or something. Also the burn marks of the terminals aren't from me. My sub came like that. Here's the pics. I ripped the sub out to investigate. But i'm stumped. It seems that the sme…

i plan on building a wall of 4 18" subs powered by the new saz-4500 when it comes out at .5 ohm ... i have around 32 cu ft of volume to use up if i want ... i do not know which subs to get ... i am going to be using these for daily listening and i like punchiness and my lows ... i am trying to maintain sound quality while also staying loud .... which 18" sub would you choose? ... i am open to all options and opinions

Are these any good? I found a local shop with some FNX1514's and FNX2514's brand new in the boxes and some Fanatics amps as well. From what I can tell these are older Fosgate but I don't know much about them. What is a good price to pay for them? Should I get them?

i swear i don't see the box specs on the 187's 15" s....................thinking i can easily give up 46"W X 13.5"H X 24" D (outside dimension)..........thinking aero ports, subs up , port back, 76' cougar. could do a little more with the Width measurement but other two are pretty firm. any specs or input about enclosure, or whatever would be great. Oh, perhaps a cost effective suggestion on amp also, seen the frree box give away by audible customs, kinda like just in time. this is for lil brothers cougar, if i can get price right.

i have a 15 bl on a sundown 1500d and i want more. i was thinking bout an 18 death row. i want something thats gona be louder then my bl. i want an 18 so opinions would be nice. thanks

I am thinking of buying an DC level 5 18" Sub but I wanted to know if I had enough power. I have 2 Sundown 1200's so roughly 2400 watts. How would it sound with 2400 watts in a 8 C.F. Box?

hi all i have a buddy just getting into car audio and hes looking to upgrade his juguar xj8s sound system the monly problem is he wants some bass but his gas tank completely seals off his trunk from his cab so nothing gets through. so i am looking for a 5.25 inch set of comps that have some strong mid bass to hold him over the only thing is he doesnt want to spend over 175

I have narrowed down to 1 12" ported, 2 10" ported or 2 12" sealed for bass racing! The ported box will be tuned to 32hz.

which brand do you think is better in subs Kicker or MTX.

I work at an electrical utility company and these go across 12700 volt feeder splices to carry over the ground. I just think tinsel leads every time i see em ...i know they are too big but it would be cool to see on a sub. though id share this with you.

my friend and i made a ported box with 2 separate chambers ... 1 chamber for each sub ... each has its own portl .... for some reason in one of the chambers a flapping noise is coming out of the port ... the other sub seems fine and no flap is coming out ... each sub is wired independently as well ... we took the sub out and vacuumed the chamber and the noise is still there ... what could this be? ... is it possible that there is something wrong with the sub causing it to flap? .... the noise fluctuates with the frequency ... ex lower frequency will create a harder slower flap

I'm trying to decide if I should go with (2) 15" BTL's or (2) 18" BTL's? Its only about $60 more to go with both 18's over the 15's but i would be using the same rms going to them. what size sub would sound better/louder being they both are getting the same amount of power/rms? Pre-orderig a Sundown-SAZ 4500D
