Subwoofers / Speakers

Would it be ok to temporarily run my bl 15 (dual 2) on one voice coil at 2 ohms from a kicker 300.1 until i get my t10001bd. or will this blow the sub from lack of power.

do crossovers make a difference in the frequency a speaker plays? for instance, are there some crossovers them don't let mids play below a certain frequency and don't let tweets go above a certain frequency? its seems like my crystals were like that, like the mids couldn't go below 70hz, even with the HP filter off on the HU and the button on the amp swithched to 'full' . help me :/

i came across PAP WMD 18's for only 175 per on their website. does anyone have any input on these things? power handling? (says 1,000) weight? whats theyre best tuned at and box size? how they hit lows or are they straight comp subs? anything is appreciated cuz 175 for a normally 400 dollar woofer seems too low, or maybe something worth jumping all over

I just got it from my uncle, it's an Orion 15", it says "The hott set-up" on the front, the sticker is pealed off the magnet so I have no idea how many watts it is or how many ohms the coil is, or even the model number. I'm not gonna try emailing Orion because the last time I did that, they sent me 7 PDFs that were all the wrong subwoofer, and then stopped replying to my emails. Anyone know anything about this subwoofer? I can post a pic if needed.

I'm torn on what to buy. I love SPL and SQ, but I dont want to much of either. I'm afraid I'll get something and want more and more. I need to find a single 12'', maybe two. Has the quality of the RE XXX's gone down? I remember then as beasts, and the dream subs... Ascendant Audio Havocs? Fi Q or BL? Sound Splinter RLp? Help... BTW, is it better to get a 20.1 for this install or a SAZ-1500?

ive been looking at cdt mids and tweeters lately, specifically the hd-642 set, has anyone has anyone had any experience with this brand, or better yet this series, and whats your review if so

I have a Kicker ZX1000.1 that says 1275 watts at 2 ohms. I had 2 Pioneer SPL subs that fried on this amp. I'm pretty sure the subs were damaged when my Kicker DX700 blew. So the new amp would cut out at higher volumes. I measured the ohm load and it would read 1.2-1.4 ohms. I am looking at switching to a Fi 15BL sub in a vented box around 4 cubic feet at 33Hz. Should I get the 1 ohm DVC and wire it in series? I noticed that on the Fi website the value of Re at 1.4 ohms...I've never seen this value and just don't want to get a sub that will cut out not having enough resistance for that amp. Any suggestions?

I just got my Pioneer PRS components running active on a Rockford Power 600-4 amp and Pioneer P800-PRS head deck. So far I'm quite pleased with the results but it's not perfect. On some songs I notice distortion/light bottoming which I traced to come from the 6.5" mids in the doors, and only when I'm really rocking out I've got them crossed over fairly low, at 80Hz because I've got my sub-stage crossed at 63Hz. I like the way this sounds, I could cross the mids higher and solve this problem but then it sounds like a large hole. I don't want to raise the sub crossover point either to fix this, my subs play pretty sloppy IMO near 80Hz plus I don't like what that does to…

hey guys i have a cascade omega 15 and i love it it handles power no problem .... my question is can i run a night shade with my saz 3000 d daily like i do with my omega? and which would sound better? an which one had a bigger mag i never saw them compared.

OK... I was offered a pair of RD Sonance V.2 12"s and a Memphis MC2000-D for my 4Kw.... I do not know about anything RD except for the H.W. which i loved but... are they geared more toward SPL or LOUD SOUND QUALITY? I kepe hearing they "GET LOUD YET STILL SOUND GREAT" but you know how that is. RD guy said: "The Sonance is a great woofer all around. The first priority was SQ when designed. The woofer actually surprised us with the output once we were finished. We have a few SQ competitors using the Sonance this year and we also have a few SPL guys running them as well. One of the few woofers that can sound great for daily and in a SQ setup but also have the ability to…

if you take a fully loaded btl D1 coils and wire up one autotek mean machine 1500d to each coil would it put each amp at 1 ohms since its a 1 ohm coil?

i was checkin out these subs and saw that the 10" DC lv.3. Whats it go for? and will it work pretty good in a long wedge shaped box w/ 3/4" mdf at .78 cu. ft in a sealed box? 600/1200 seams to be wat i need. i figured i can only get one cuz im limited on space and wanted a good sized box for a good output. whats the excusion like? thanks.

im looking for some new door speakers for my crx. they need to be 5 1/4. im planning to buy a kick panel and put some 6.5s in there, but i would like them to be the same brand and model. im looking at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12261_JBL+P560C.html and http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13968_...ppa+50.9cs.html does anyone have experience with these? if not, any imput on something else i should get? im open to any and all ideas, not set on these sets at all. i would like to stay under 150 for one set, though. i will be runing these with a Kicker 06ZX350.4 that i just bought from rushnrun =) i have a 15" bl in the back, ~3.5 ft^3 at 33 hrtz running off of a saz …

Hi At first sorry for my language. I have a honda civic coupe 6 generation and my audio is: -Amplifier hifonics BXI 2600D -2x RE AUDIO SE12D4 wired at 1 ohm -Power cap DIETZ hybrid 20F -Alternator 160Ampers Soon I planing to: -do BIG III -add extra battery in the trunk Subwoofers is in the trunk and he is ported, about 2,5-2,8 cubic feat for bouth. They play quaiet good but I want something what play mutch louder. I planed to buy 4x RE SE12D2( cone area is big of 4x12" so a lot of air could be move ) but trunk is not enough big and enclosure will be to small and bass will be not too low(there is no any posibility to tuned low like in manual).At present I have tuned about…

I have 2 TC-1000 8" subs. 1 working fine. the other not responsive to power input. When pushed by hand, the cone still moves up and down. So just wondering if theres a build house somewhere that might be able to check it out and if possible fix or recone the sucker. any suggestions?

hey whats up guys I made up my mind and decided to go with audioque, and now i just dont know if to go with the 1 hdc3 12" or go with 2 sdc2.5 12's, i would be using a sundown saz-1500d for the amp, now i know they say the more cone area the louder it will be, but dam i am very interested in that 1 hdc3 12" lol, oh and also if i were to go with the one 1 hdc3, what do u guys recommend aluminum or copper coils? i would be using it for daily music, mostly listen to hip hop, and i want some decent lows, but remember i want the loudest heard, which many say is different then actual spl setup, but im not a pro so i maybe very wrong, the point is im going with very loud mids a…

alright so right now i have a 15" bl and its jus not cutting it anymore. i want something more. my buddy has a 18 xcon and i like how it sounds but i dont wana get the same sub. pretty much i want something that slams like the xcon. i want it to get loooow and sound good. i need some opinions

Im planning to do a wall in my car but my wife says I have to wait until we have another car (we have kids.) In the meantime I have dimensions of 33Dx31Wx16H. With .75 MDF that leaves 7.79783 cubes total. I want to run one Xcon 18 but I dont know what the mounting depth is. Obvioussly Ill be mounting it sub up so my D will become 16". I assume 16" is deep enough but? After port and sub displacement I should have about 7 cubes and want to tune to 32hz. is 7 cubes at 32HZ. too much for 1 Xcon18?

Just thought I would let folks here know that the MJ-18M will begin shipping in about a week. I am just waiting for packaging. I had mentioned voice coil options and I plan to deliver on this. Very soon there will be a 2 Ohm and 1 Ohm version available. Those who want the 4 Ohm version can purchase them now - you will be placed in front of the order line. Thanks for your patience. Mark

Still tossing around ideas on the new setup... Any 18's out there that can take 3500 daily and sound good in around 4-5cuft?

Ok, so ive been pondering this for a while now. I want "HOLY SHIT TURN THAT DOWN BEFORE I DIE, I CANT BREATHE ITS SOOOO LOUD!!!!" kind of subs. So, i deciding between the Audioque HDC312's or the Fi BL 12's I want this reaction coming from my high school classmates who think there Dual 12" prefab piece of shits are loud Both will be powered accordingly by Sundown or Audioque and box will be built to specifications. Other Subs are welcome Not going over $300 for a 12 This is in a trailblazer

OK,Ive got an SE 15 with a bad coil.I used to run a shop with my brother and we were authorized US/RE dealers.A kid brought this sub back in and we replaced it,well this was about 2 years ago and we never sent it back in(the shop cosed down).My question is can any of you guys repair this or can I get something to repair it myself.If so please let m know,and how much it would cost.Maybe if I get it fixed I could sell it and put that towards some Icon 10d4's.

Hey guys Im looking to buy a JL w3v3-2ohm 10'' in my car. I have a 04' BMW 3 series sedan now. I will be getting a custom box so it fits snug somewhere (not moving around everywhere). I currently have my kicker zx750.1 amp, do you think this will be a good match for it? Or do you recommend the 4ohm version? Running just a 4 gauge to it, and looking for some decent CLEAN bass to satisfy everyone in my car =D

I want to know if Level 2s will take 500RMS? I have a 12" BL at the moment on a Diamond Audio D61000.1 @ 1ohm in my truck and I'm planning on getting 2 12" Level 2s. I will be satisfied right?

I would like some of you to rank these by clarity at high volume. Which are really designed to keep up with extreme bass with having to opt for Selenium, B&C, or Eminence. I'm thinking about doing 3 component sets for front stage? Audioque AQG-6.5 Component Set Re6.5c DDC6.5 Kicker 09RS65.2 Focal 165KF Poly Kevlar K2 Power Series Rockford T162s BOSTON ACOUSTIC PRO60SE ( I had some of the older models and I know they sound good, but I'm sure they will lack midbass) Orion HCCA6.2
