Subwoofers / Speakers

i want a system that is crazy loud with great frequency range. i like hearing the jumps and drops from one frequency sweep to the next in my songs. i had a sub @44hz that i loved but it was not loud enough and had no low end (44hz, no low end? go figure). so i bought a new one and tuned to 35 and now i have no high end. so my thought was this. what about building a wall, dual ported subs with one tuned to 32hz and the second at 40 or 45hz. installing xovers and subsoncs to prevent the 2 subs from over laping one another. would this work or should i just build a sealed box and be done with it? i was thinking 2 SP4 18's

well since i probably represent some ppl on this forum, could someone tell me all the parts in a subwoofer and what they do?

Ok guys I finally got everything in so Im having my box built early next week. Here is a Design below for my 2 18" Level 4 XL's:D. Its going in my 03 Gmc Sierra Ext. Cab taking the back seat out for this. Specs are 190 3/4 sqin port area tuned @ 33 hz and is 11.27cuft after displacements Everything thats going in the truck Plus 2 Large batteries and the MLA module which are not in the pictured And the actual truck I will update with pics when the box is being built..

Looking to get some components for setup. Budget is about $400-$500 maybe a bit more if it'd be worth it. 2002 Malibu, want to make some kicks for em. 6.5" comps. I want to get the best sound quality possible. I don't want them to be harsh. I haven't personally heard any of these brands but i've read that Focals can be harsh. I want them to be laid back, detailed, have good midbass, Just have a great overall sound and be able to get loud to keep up with some xcon 12's. I have a few that i've looked into. So give me your thoughts and opinions and if you suggest any others in my price range. I'd be willing to spend a $100-few $100 more if i should. I'll most likely be runni…

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.

I am ready for June to fly by and get July rolling along with it in anticipaion of the new Mag!!! So who all ordered a new Mag?? 12, 15??? how many??? I ordered 1 15. Wish I could have got two but one is PLENTY.

hey everybody, I was just wondering if people on this board have used them before...any feedback, pros/cons about these subs? I will be using them ~30hz, mostly musical (daily use) and some competitions. Just would like some hands on info about them... Thanks, Andrew

Im bout to buy 2x 18" RD Audio Alpha V.2 subs from someone on here.... I was wondering if anyone knew the recommended airspace for each sub, and the best tuning frequency for these subs as well.... as of now, I have a box designed for both at 13 ft3 after port displacement and drivers and crap with a port space of 177 square inches and 20" long tuned to 34hz.... so basically im giving each sub around 6.5 ft3 tuned to 34hz ..... to me, this seems good, but I was wondering if anyone on here has played with these subs and if you could give me your opinion on the best box to run these things in? RDAudio.net doesn't have the box recommendations up yet... sooooo help please....…

A number of folks have been asking when the SPL-15 would be available. Given the existing sales of the current SPL-12, I am finding it difficult to justify the added expense for another driver in the line. I am however, open to doing a small run of SPL-15's provided there is commitment from those folks who are interested in acquiring one (or two or three...). To picture of what the SPL-15 would look like, imagine the beefiness of the SPL-12, only in a bigger version. There, simple wasn't it? So, those of you who spoke of, or asked about an SPL-15, belly up to the bar and let's talk about it. Best, Mark

Does anybody have any experience with this driver? Does it sound decent? They are inexpensive and are supposed to be fairly nice drivers i was looking at pickin up two 10" and tossin each 1100w How would they stack up to two fi BL 10"?

My subs have arrived! CD on dustcap to show how big this thing is! Comparison pics. IXL beside a Pioneer TS-W384 15 inch woofer. I'll be starting my sub build pretty soon. I'll be going with 12 cubic feet tuned to 16 hz. This is a lot of sub for the money. I'm looking forward to getting these subs built and installed in my home theater!!!!

About half of my active setup arrived in the mail today. The tweeters are supposed to come later today and then some more wiring tomorrow, the mids friday, and the coustic crossover on saturday I hope. FEDEX really beat the chit out of my packages. I was kind of scared at first. Now, without further ado, stick around for more

Hey Gents! Could you please give me speaker recommendations for an active 2 way front stage? I want to run 1 set of tweeters where the tape measure is in this pic: 2" OD is probably the largest I'd like to mount here. I would like to put a 6.5" driver in the lower factory location: The direction of the 6.5 is not ideal as it points down and forward, but I really don't want to build custom kick panels at this time. I will be running a Pioneer 80prs HU, which I want to run active. I do not have the 4 channel amp yet, but the Crescendo 800.4 is my top runner right now when it comes back in stock. It's rated around 130w x4 @ 4ohm. $300 is a good amp budget for…

Ok I've been looking around a lot and the beefiest 10" I can find is the dc level four xl, with 1500rms that is probably underrated... I dont know prices but are there other 10" above 1000rms that dont break the bank? I really wish fi made a 10" btl but that magnet is HUGE... Im considering a single 10" for primarily spl purposes but the better it sounds the happier I am ... so any suggestions?

I have an 07 ram quad cab. Second time owning this truck. It has hertz energy 6.5"comps in doors and hertz dieci 5.25" in rear doors. I have a jl XD500/3 on comps and the sub channel puts out 300 at 2ohms. I will not change amps. I will be buying that under seat box for 1 10" .65-.8ft^3 depending on which box I decide to get. So I want SQ. Loud is subjective loud to me wont be loud to you all I know. I really want to fill in the bottom octaves is ideally what I want. So what sub for the small sealed box and 300 watts? Pricing the cheaper the better $125 is probably the max cause thats $200 for sub and box and im broke for car audio. …

Does anyone know the exact outter diameter of the hcca 15? Cant find it anywhere and doing a blowthrough for someone and its going to be a tight fit

so i've googled everything i could think of with minimal results. so i'm asking you guys anyone know a good place to buy any and all parts needed to build/repair subs at decent prices? and im really looking for the tall arc shaped extended displacement surrounds, prefer rubber but foam will do. also looking for all other parts also. if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Let's talk about subwoofers in general, which way will it perform the best, subs facing upwards(the roof) or facing towards the rear end? just wondering since i ve seen a lot of people doing upwards around here.. unless i just dont notice anyone that points their subs towards the rear end..

Looking to get a new 15" sub to replace my 2 SA-12's. I am very pleased with them, but i am just wanting to try something new and have been itching to build a new box lol. Looking for sound quality over anything else. Price range is around $200. Will be most likely going in a ported box in the trunk of my altima. Just wanting some suggestions of good quality 15" subs in my price range. Thanks in advance!

anyone have experience with these looking for how they react to port area do they like a lot or little ? i was thinking about running 2 of them in 2cube each box tuned to 34 or 33 htz with 2 4 in flared ports but using the aero ports 4in its either 2 which is like 6.25port area per cube or 3 which is 9.30 port area per cube Any advice will be welcome thanks reggie

I just wanted to take a sec to thank Nick and everyone else accociated with Stereo Integrity. You guys make a great product for an excellent price. I have installed the mag in a temporary install. After breaking it in lastnight it was put into a 1.7cu.ft. sealed enclosure(before sub displacement). I am running a memphis 1000d to it. Going from 2 subs to one I will admit I lost some output, BUT, and I mean but, what I lost in output I drastically gained in low end extention and accuracy. Which is fine to me. I have ear problems anyways. Now in total I have about 1 hour listening time on it due to and unexpected amp problem (for some reason the amp goes into thermal p…

whats the normal temperature that a subwoofer have after playing some songs like for a pair of 10" AA Chaos, powered by a Rockford Fosgate t1500-1BD Wired at 1ohm

Here are some pics of my install of a 15" D2 into my 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution. The box is covered in black vinyl over 3/8" foam so its kind of squishy The sub is in a 3^ft3 sealed box.

I preordered the diyma 12" but need something to run in the meantime. the amp i have is 500w rms, probably underrated. i'm looking at either one of the eclipse sw 8000 lmt 10's sealed or a single rli-8 ported. The treo ssi 8" is on the list as well and it would be ported.

i recently picked up 2 15 inch RE destroyers...i thought they were MT's that had a recone. come to find out they are not lol. Apparently RE made 24 Destroyers. they are very similar to a MT with the same basket only painted dark gray metallic and have a slightly bigger motor. suppossedly they have 4 inch voicecoils and have to spl of a MT but better SQ too...only 24 EVER MADE! any info on these would be great cuz i know absolutley nothing about them other than they were used in comps by team toxic bass
