Subwoofers / Speakers

Sup guys, i'm really interested in the mags, i know it's goin to cost me some money but def. well worth it, i'm thinking of putting up a wall in my car and go with either 3 12" mags or 4 12" mags, most likey each powered by a nine.1 or an RE 12.1, i was wondering how much space would be recommended for them i'm goin to say probably 2.0 cf per sub? and what would be a good tunning for it, probably around 32-35 hz? its either a wall or 2 12" in a crx style box with a orion 2500d.. suggestions are welcome. thanx

I have a 15" Brahma MKIV I bought about a year ago and don't have a spec sheet anymore. Does anyone have the specs for this driver? It's a dual 2 ohm. Thanks.

I bought it as a hybrid 15 xbl2 sub a few years ago. It was described as smilar to a brahma mk1.5, But it dosnt look anything like most of the brahma motors ive seen. Im thinking about having it reconed to an 18". But from what ive read the brahmas didnt do well as reconed 18"s. if anyone has any input on what motor this is, and if it would do well as an 18" let me know http://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000380rw9.jpg http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000379kr6.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000389in5.jpg http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000391hs1.jpg

Subwoofers work by moving air with the cone creating waves that move around in the box and create bass. But what really makes one subwoofer better than the other? Two different twelves for example. One low end one high end. Both have same cone area, both hit the same frequencies(lets assume). From my understanding all that really makes one better than the other is how much excursion it has. But that really can't be all can it? Sorry if this is a dumb question... I haven't been able to sleep lately:p

I'm really thinking of ordering up a couple of Level 4 subs for my cousins and I, but I am curious as to what you guys recommend as spec boxes as far as Volume/Port Area/Tuning? Thanks in advance! ALOHA FROM HAWAII, SKY

does flare count as port length? In a roung flare port... thank you...

Is the sp4 some kind of magical woofer? I mean I been looking for a while for sub that can take a lot of power and sound good and good for daily, so I been searching on different forms looking for options and almost 80% of the time the sp4 is getting recommended. It have to more subs out there that is equal or better THE the sp4 for output and sq

Hello everyone got a problem here i am looking to go with a 1 sub setup not sure if i should go with a 12 or maybe a 15 and which one i should go with. Now i got some ideal's down in my head and need your option on which be best for what i want. Now the sub will be going in a 2001 kia sportage ex which is a small size suv so i have enough room to build be a box for either 1 15 or 1 12 and it will be going into a vented box just so you know. What i am looking for in a sub is i want a lot of spl but to i want good sq to. My options are either 1 kicker L5 / 1 Alpine type r / 1 AQ SDC2.5 / 1 re audio Sex Series. As fare as tuning goes i am not sure how low i should tune my …

Was just wondering how a single 15" D2 will handle 1500 watts of power? Is it too much for the driver, or will it handle it perfectly and pound to my heart's content? Thanks

Hello all and thank you in advance for any help. I am in need of a new woofer for an existing enclosure. It currently has an Image Dynamics ID-8 v3. I am interested in the Sundown E-8 line but have been unable to get ANY help thru Sundown. I am open to other brand drivers as well. This is a budget/low power system in my daughters first car. Will be have approximately 250 watts supplied. Needs to be a 2 ohm load. Enclosure is .76cu' GROSS volume. 3/4 mdf construction. Port is 2" x 11" sch 40 PVC, flared on outlet end. Port can be modified in length only. Woofer and port rear facing in 2013 Honda Civic sedan. Thanks again for any help in suggestions of box modeling if…

I own a scion tc and specs are- fronts are 6.5" 2way components rears are 5.25" co-axials. Since i am adding 3Kw worth of bass, i need high powered speaker replacements. I'm not a total audiophile, I just like it loud and clear. Anyways, i have been looking at these - JBL C608Gti MK II Why? because they are the loudest 6.5" 2way i can find without retailing over $1,000. Now, here is the question - if i power these with about 200w per side, for me sitting up front, would i not hear the rear speakers higher frequency range giving them 100w per speaker? I'm wondering if i am just suppose to replace the rear speakers with just 5.25" woofers only, no co-axial.

previous set up was a 2way; sls 8 midbass in the doors w/ a kx250.2 powering them, and a Peerless 830986 on a kicker zx100.2 in/on the a pillars. plus the mj18 ib. hu is a clarion dzx785usb (i think thats the model number irrc) problems with previous setup were that it looked bad and my attempt to fg new pods didn't improve it. it was also lacking the upper midbass region, either the 3 wouldn't play low enough or the sls wouldn't play high enough. im looking to move the midrange to the kick's and add a tweeter to the a-pillars or kicks aswell(if i dont use a full range again). (note: since i had a set of polk tweeters laying around i threw them in the a-pillar to fill …

Here's a couple pictures of the moving assembly of a Magnum 12 (the coin is a quarter - I put it there just for a reference).

My buddy has a 13w7 and burnt up a friggin voice coil on it with only like 1100 watts, how is this possible?? It wasnt overpowered, it was professionally installed in a ported box, and plus i thought it was supposted to be VERY difficult to do that to a w7??

(I'm going to apologize in advance for run-on sentences and grammatical errors). First off, only been on ssa for a few days now but am overwhelmed at the wealth of information here. This will be my first system and will be going into a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Only installed upgrade has been a pioneer deh p690 headunit, this was done by a local car audio store. I listen mostly to rap/hip-hop and classic rock, bud i'd say 75% rap on a daily basis. I purchased a set of 6.5' focal polyglass v2 components and polk db651s for rear fill ($400 for the focals, $50 for the polk at tweeter, still bnib in my bedroom). Anyway, in the process of amp shopping i almost put …

i have a 08zx750.1 kicker mono amp and i have been looking into the ia lethal injection sub but not sure what type of inclosure to go with. If you are using this sub what spec inclosure do you recommend im looking with going with a porter box but unsure what port tune and size.According to reaserching 32hz sounds good but is it good for my type of music hip-hop/trance your input is appreciated.

should i use special speaker wire from my amp to the woofer? what gauge should i use?

Should I go with 3 or 4 kicker 12L7's.....2 13w7's....or 2 or 3 12w7's I'll probably haev either two kicker 1500 watt amps or the kicker 2500 watt amps. I'm looking to bump hard around town, sound nice and get real loud. It'd be nice to about hit 150dB if possible. thanks! Or if there are any other subs that are comparable if not better, suggestions are welcome!

Wired my sub + to + - to - and took 1 + and 1 - out to the amp. Dual 2 ohm icon is the sub. I know I hooked it up like that on the speaker but completely forgot which wire was negative and positive lol. Rather not pull the sub at this point. 1. What is another method of figuring out what is what and 2. What kind of damage if any can come from this? At the amp I'm reading exactly 1.0 no matter how I hook the probes up to it

About to buy two L7 12 and need to know what size amp I need to run them?

Ok, I'll put this out to those who are definitely not as technically challenged as I. I went garage-saling, and picked up a set of used Infinity Ref 6000cs's for $30. Have since tested them and work fine, just not enough base for me. I tried them in a small 1/3 cube homemade box to test them. Now, is it possible to just replace the Infinity Woofer with an MLI-65 and get much better base(sound quality and punch) with a cold swap ? There are really no "adjustments" that can be made on these crossovers except to go -3db's on the tweets. Just wondering...

Hey guys, Recently I asked you guys about building a ported box for my MAW12. Unfortunatly the box is still in the production stages but as a temporary solution I put it in a ~35L box I already have and wow! It sounds so nice and hits every note with a lot of definition. I was previously running a Phoenix Gold Xenon sub but I actually prefer the sound of the MAW so much more. The only real complaint is SPL wise I would like a little more out of the sub. I'm running it with a Zapco 500.1 which is conservativly rated at 500W into 2 Ohms (although the birthsheet indicates much more) so I don't think power is an issue and I can push the sub to its limits. I've always been a f…

look what i got last night ( NIB ) never used

Well I need some advise on which one of these 8's is better for everyday use? I already have a .6 ported box and ill be getting the dvc 4ohm and a 600 watt at 2ohm amp. I listen to mostly rock and country. I've looked at the spec on both subs and the sa-8 will take 200 more watts. But I was wandering if the e8 would be loud enough?? Since its a little cheaper the e8 is what im thinking but since Im only gonna have a 1 sub setup I want it to be right. I already have a rockfosgate p2d48 and its alright but I was going for quality with my little setup not volume. A little help please

I'm getting a new Fit Sport and considering that its the premium sound i was just going to upgrade by intergrating a sub into it, problem is, i am picky. I dont want overpowering bass but i want to feel it, and it has to be clear. It will be a single sub setup of whatever size, since i have plenty of room *grand total of 41 cubes in the car* Have at this, i want to do it right on the first try this time.....
