Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm getting close to ordering the 15" DCON and will be building my first enclose with my buddies tools and expertise, but I've been reading and researching just enough to be dangerous. I've been on carstereo.com, bcae1.com, diyma.com, and a few others. While the smaller drivers t/s parameters do lean in favor of ported enclosures (along with much antecdotal evidence) the 15" appears to be more suited to the sealed enclosure. Example, the Fs of the 15" is 33.5hz and the 10" is 29.4hz. I haven't researched every subwoofer line, but this seems to buck the trend, big time, unless it's an error on the website. My biggest fear in constructing the box is that I won't have any…

Hey guys, I need two 10" woofers for my boat. Replacing the old ones. Here are my requirements - Dual 2ohm or Single 4 ohm coils - Amp is providing 300w RMS per woofer. - Best bang for the buck I'm low on funds for this one. I can get Comp VR 10's for about $65 each. Are there any bargain's out there that I could look for? Can I do better than the Comp VR's?? I'm open for any brand, doesnt matter. I'd like to not spend much more than say $75-80 each. Suggestions please!

Hey everyone just wondering what kinda frontstage you all have with your mags? I was thinking of going with set of xxx mids and horns, or maybe do you think 2 sets of xxx mids would go with them better? I'll be running 2 12's sealed off an Orion2500D (2ohms) btw...

Hey guys, so I'm looking for some pro input. Mids/Highs - EJS Audio Full Size Horns under the dash *powered by Linear Power 2202 (mod)@ 110 x 2 @ 4 ohm load. Midbass - Undecided at this point, might even be running ID8v1 or v2's in the doors *powered by Linear power 3002 (mod) @ 175 x 2 @ 4/8 ohm load. Subs - This is where I'm a little stuck. I'm trying to snag as much cone area as I can because we'll be in the trunk running two drivers. I'm probably going to be running 15's because I've got 3-5 cu ft to work with and I'll be running sealed. I know that running one driver ported will get me more output, but some music I listen to has very fast bass transit…

so when u get a DD sub ....just hook it up and "slap" the shit out of it

hey iam looking for 0awg wiring kits for pritting cheap anyone now were i can find a good kit iam looking to spend about 100

Hi, I have a 12" Alpine type s in a vented Bassworks box( pretty big ) driven by a Pioneer GM-7100M (RMS Power at 2 Ohms = 360 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms = 250 W x 1). head unit : pinoeer DEH-P7700MP I'm listening to Punk Rock, Death Metal, Metal, Hard-rock and a little bit of Dr. D.R.E amd Cypress Hill. I find my bass not tight enough and not fast enought to hadle my music preferences. Do you think that two 8" subwoofer in a sealed box will do the job? Should I use two SVC 4" sub to get the 360w at 2 ohms of my amp What brand and model of subs should I go for? Sry for my english

Do birch wood speaker spacers need to be waterproofed? i went to local installer and they said they would use MDF and not waterproof them, just paint them with regular paint. but i said i would need them waterproofed so they dont soak up water so they went ahead and used birch wood speaker spacer instead. these fine, if not waterproofed or treated? and i heard these woods have harmful chemicals in them? or is that only when cutting them? and should be fine if installed in car, but not being cut?

hi, which sub has better SQ and which one sounds louder i don't want just SPL i want SQ to using them on a sealed box... what you think of both brands?

WOOOOOTTTT!!!!! My fiberglass door pods (original thread http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=94516) are near finished...made a lot of progress this weekend... They turned out pretty good, they're NOT perfect, these are my first...and they're going into my "piece of chit" truck that I'm driving till it dies...and getting a new one With that being said...here they are! (I used truck bedliner to coat them, they are awaiting a finish coat tomorrow after initial 2 layers cure...) (All clickable thumbnails) WOW...look..it's "JL's" new door pods... (Still awaiting finish coat) Junk layin around And no...that's not my writing...came with it on there Later... NG

Yep, so I just got done with my box for an Eclipse Ti 12" and wow, I could not be anymore frustrated or upset. Just wow.........It sounds like complete as*. Box is 1.25^3 net, and the sub is getting about 300 watts. It just sounds so, punchie way way way way to punchie not enough deep bass. I don't care that I lost output, I expected that but for the love of god when you go to sealed it's suppose to be SQ dam*it. I dunno, I'm about to go get some polly fill and see if that helps the problem sorry for the childish post but I'm just really upset right now.

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…

I've been out for a while, had kids and gotten old. I need some info comparison between the DC audio 8" sub and the American bass 8" sub and how does each compare the let's say the benchmark is the JL W7 8", thanks for the info.

anyone know of any good 6inch subs around? I am looking for good sound quality and pretty good low end as well.
