Subwoofers / Speakers

Ever since I popped my xcon I have been running a pair of JL 10W3 sealed. It's no flexing setup, but I have gotten them to blend pretty well with my front stage and it is highly enjoyable. I am contemplating replacing the useless tape deck/cd storage center console on my '02 tahoe with a SD-2 8 to take over for the JLs so I have the room in the rear for something bigger to shake things up when I want to. I'd have a switch to either sub amp to turn them on independently. I'm pretty eclectic in my music and bass level choices from day to day. Part of me thinks this is just a silly daydream as a bass knob would fill this roll, and the other part thinks it would be a fun proj…

Hey Mark... hate to bug, but any word on the SPL12's? Also... can you let me know what the cutout will be for them? I figure I can make the enclosure while I'm waiting

Also, which would you all choose? RL-P or a Mag If there was an actual comparison done, I would like to see that also, or if there is a link, that would be great too. thanks

I have a single cab 99 Toyota tacoma and i have very little room to work with subs wise. I am not trying to build a competition set up or anything this is more for sq, but i for the subs i have 2 six inch passive bazookas behind the seat right now which barely fits. It sounds pretty nice so far but i was planning on picking up 2 JL 6w3's and swapping out the bazooka speaker with the JLs. I was wondering has anyone heard the JL 6w3 before? is it like a good quality speaker and will it really bring the low end out?

I need help guys. So I bought 2 Fi BL's a couple of months ago and I've gone through 2 hifonics brutus amps. I am currently waiting on a sundown saz3500 that I just ordered. The problem I'm having is the speakers are .7 ohms per coil. How should I wire them to the amp. I dont want to blow another amp. GUYS I am in need of some help please.

I need a little advice. I recently sold a sub on Craigslist. Icon 12 D2. It has literally sat in my garage for over a year. When I tested the coils back in May of 2014 I got a solid 1.8 on each side. I haven't played the sub once since. The new owner tested the coils at 2.4. When wired at 1ohm he's getting 1.8. Can anyone help US understand what's going on? Is it something to worry about? Can a sub sitting do this to the coils?

I have 2 15" Xcons with a Sundown 3000 with a 1400kinetik in the back. So I let my little brother take the car out to get some food, and he comes back and says, "Your bass is not on...". He knows better than to abuse my system so I go take a look. Seems like he took a sharp turn because the power wire was just barely in. So I decided to clean up the look of the wires and replaced the speaker wire making it shorter, and reconnecting the power wire. I then went for a spin and everything was sound great again... Then all of a sudden I begin to smell something unusual, I have pushed subs before and know the normal smell but there was a different smell, so I turned down my st…

well i have decided that it is time for a switch up in the system. i curently have a RE sx 15", with a american bass 100.1, but the sx is being sold today. after reading many rave reviews and talking to sean (ibander on most fourms) i am pretty set in that i want to get the new mag. the only thing is if i want a 12 or a 15. my dilemma, i would like trunk space. but no big deal if i dont have any. ibander said that with too big a box none of the sound will make it into the cabin, i believe what he says being that he knows more than me and has more experience. i will probally just go with a 12" ported i dont really have a question, or a point. just wanted to say hi and yo…

hey guys new to this site and new to car audio and i just bought 2 mj-18 svc 4 ohm and i want to know what amp out there is the best to push these subs i want something to give them 700 watts a piece or more if they can take them dont really know alot about the car audio game so all the help i can get will be great

Did these ever get released? How about their monster PR subs or their amps? Anything?

first... i couldn't move the pennies on my roof very well, cause it's so small, but i can get stuff moving on the carport! i thought it was kinda cool :crazy: second is my polk db 6.5" running freeair of my house reciever getting about 25W http://www.realmofexcursion.com/brands/polkaudio.htm#db651 second is my RE 6.5 of the same reciever http://www.realmofexcursion.com/brands/reaudio.htm#re651

Does anyone know why ID never made one of these? Its seems stupid that they havent, seems like it could have been a good money maker if they would have done it years ago when they made the 10 and 12.

Hello everyone I am new to the forum and trying to do some research before I purchase a new sub. I am looking at getting a single 12 most likely. I am currently looking at the Fi ssd, DD 2500, Sundown sa-12, and the ssa gcon. Also what amp would you guys recommend for running one of these? Thanks in advance

Hi guys I need a good speaker I was recommended to Fi. So far with this kind of upgrade I'm goin to be upgradin the power and ground cable but right now I'm workin with (head unit - panasonic cq-c7401u, Amp - Alpine mrp-m1000, Box - Single 12' ported mtx Sledgehammer, Thinkin it's 1.8 to 2.0 cubic feet I'm not sure Havn't used box yet so I don't even know what it's gonna sound like) I do have a 1 Farad Rockford cap but I Havnt used cause It's pointless till I upgrade alt and big 3 which I have never done but will be doing first thing after I order speaker. Now my guy told me to check out the Fi Q 12'. I'm liking what I see but I'm not totally sure I know exactly How t…

I know these subs are designed more for SPL, but which of these subs has better SQ? Which can get louder and move more air? Thanks for any advice.

I just picked up a BNIB D.7 9518Z from a friend of mine. I am going back and forth between doing a normal ported enclosure or a 4th order bandpass. I have about 6-7 cubes net to work with. Its going in the back of my PT Cruiser on two Sundown SAZ-2000's at .7ohm each. So 4500+rms, but less obviously for daily. What do y'all think?

Where can I find a plate amp for a subwoofer for less than $100? I've tried Parts Express but they only have a 25 watt one in stock. Here is my situation, so please help. My friend has two 10" sony subs that we are using for a cheap build project. They are both SVC and 4 ohm. Is there any way that we can hook both of them up to one plate amp? If so, how? We were looking at buying two plate amps, one for each driver, and doing things that way. Will a 25 watt per channel amp be good enough for a sealed design? We want to keep the total cost as low as possible. Thanks.

I will be running them of the 3 & 4th channel of my sundown 50.4. I havent a clue right now how to hook them up Thanks for any help Specifications: *Power handling: 70 watts RMS/110 watts max *VCdia: 1" *Le: 0.53 mH *Impedance: 4 ohms *Re: 2.9 ohms *Frequency response: 48-20,000 Hz *Fs: 48 Hz *SPL: 86 dB 1W/1m *Vas: 0.64 cu. ft. *Qms: 2.63 *Qes: 0.85 *Qts: 0.64 *Xmax: 2.5 mm *Tweeter crossover: 10 kHz @ 6 dB/octave *Dimensions: A: 6-1/2", B: 5-3/4", C: 3-

wondering how and if the BM would be a good choice to put in a HT setup? I am going to build a sub for my HT soon and am looking for a good woofer. I LOVE my mag, absolutely LOVE IT! and am anxious to get one of the new ones most likely. But lets hear it, would the BM do the job right for HT?

I have a 12w3v2 with a blown coil. Is it worth reconing? or can I just do it for fun? Who and where or what can I use to recone it?

Has anyone used one in an IB configuration in a car?

From my post on the meca official team smoke xtreme thread Guys i would officially like to welcome Stereo Integrity on board with Team Smoke Xtreme for the 2006 season. Nick is gracious enough to give us great drivers, unlimited tech support, as many recones as needed, and all and all a nice friend in the industry. All team members shoudl consider switching to these drivers since Nick is going to try and support our ENTIRE team. Members of the team are not required to use these subs, but are ENCOURAGED to. Mr. Lemmons is a great guy to deal with and is decently close to the core of the team. He is located in Mooresville, NC. I personally drove to his houe to pick up my 12…

Two magnum 15s on credit? :-D. I got the box built today... 7ft^3 NET 98in^2 Port Area ~33hz tuning Got the amp installed also, IA 20.1 :-D I just need a pair of Mag 15s to appear at my doorstep

With only 800-900rms total

So about a month ago I received my new icon. And a recone for my old icon. I plan on going from a single 12 to 2 12s in the process of building an enclosure. Anyhow.. so I did the recone. Dropped it in the Box ran it for about a week to break it in. And it sounds fantastic.. Heaven ran it hard yet. Probably never fed it more than 700 clean unclipped Watts (if that) anyhow it sounds great. So I pulled it out and dropped in the new icon. Breaking it in just like the recone. Sounded great then yesterday I started noticing a "slight" buzzing/scratching sound at a certain bass note at high and low volumes. A specific song would come on, and would have that bass note and I cou…
