Subwoofers / Speakers

hello there, while searching for some components I came across these QSC-164 - MB Quart. I am looking for a set of components that will match up to 2 BM's subs. what I really want is clarity and I know MB Q has been around for a while so I figured I cant go wrong with them. My other choices would be the JL ZR650-CSi and Hertz ML165 but these come with out tweeters. I need a total of two sets for my truck, so if you guys can advice on these speakers or recommend others I will appreciate it thanks..

ive got a chance to pick up a blown 12'' AA avalanche, is it possible to put any sort of SI soft parts on the sub? i dont really remember is the ava is a 2.5 or a 3'' VC. thankies much.

First, excellent place for information these forums are. I'm sure I'll lose a ton of sleep pouring over these pages. Now on to my situation. I don't need my vehicles to get extremely loud (I'm very happy at 125db), but I like it to be pretty clean. For this reason I usually prefer older equipment... running a pair of Kicker s12d solobarics until very recently (very happy with those btw). Newer stuff, especially "main stream" stuff tends to be more spl oriented and is usually pretty muddy for my tastes. Due to a downsize in vehicle (it's a 91 318is bmw) I am looking for a single sub I can stick in around a sealed 0.9-1.2ft^3 and sound clean, and loud when desired. …

anyone have the full diameter of these tweeters????

Would a Kicker 750.1 zx be an ideal amp for a 15" 4 0HM L7?

I have a ED Nine.1 and I need help deciding on what subs to get. The amp supposed to do 1200w RMS @1ohm 12.5v. I have a MB Quart 4125 powering a pair of ID CTX65cs comps and a pair of ID CTX65 coaxials. This is all going into a '09 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I listen to all types of music. I want something to get low and loud. Would 2 Icon 12's be a better choice than 1 Xcon 12 with that amp?

What are the specs on a ssa zcon 12 ? (Ported)

Well, it was so nice out today, I decided I'd rip all my carpet out and get it ready for when my eDead arrives. Also did some work on the baffle. Here's some pics so you guys can get an idea. Here's 2 shots of the 15 mounted and hanging from the baffle. And here's one peering down through the 6x9 hole. Still waiting for it to get a little warmer so I can glass the baffle and finish it up. I'm also thinking about painting the top plate of the MAG a translucent green? What ya think?

If i put 2 15" SI MAG D2 In my ford explorer 96. 1. how much power rms should i try to put out... 2. expected numbers i would get close to... would it be loud? cus my system of 2 10's hits 141 right now.

Been doing a bunch of reading and looking for a smaller sub for my car. For the past three years or so, my RLp 15 handled the bass duties, and now I'm itching for a change. It's a great sub, but I want to step down to a 12 or a solid 10. So far I've looked into the Fi Q, Diyma 12, Hertz Hi Energy (I LOVE the Mille, but it's out of my budget, my cousin has a Mille 12...sweet sub), IDQ's, and the Rainbow Profi. So far I'm leaning towards the Hertz. Any other subs you guys have in mind that I can look into? I sort of regret selling my old Brahma 12 MKII. That was a nice sub.

ok so i have a ten inch re audio sx sub d2 and an usamps md1d at one ohm the amp will do 1200 watts just exactly how do i get it to do one ohm do i just wire the sub up differently cause in the manual for the sub it shows how to wire it up parrallel is that it or what?

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.

Just picked up a 18" dual 1 ohm SSA Icon and have it in a 3 cube sealed enclosure now. Looking to optimize this woofer with the right box and design. It is wired to 2ohms on a JL 1000.1 Slash v1. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.

So my 2 mags are finally installed, but they don't sound right at all. And it's bc I'm an idiot. :thud: I think the gains are too low, but I need to know what the gain knob is on a tantrum 1200.1. Is it the sensitivity knob? And does the gain go higher as you turn it from .2 to 4. It is on .2 now, and it sounds terrible, like everything is just rumbling together. The kick drums don't sound right at all. I don't hear a distinct punch for each kick. I know it has something to do with the amp settings, bc these are magnums we are talking about. Also, I was driving around last night, and my lights didn't dim or blink at all, so that may be indication that the gains …

I just bought a dcon 12 I'm putting in a 1.75 sealed box with 400w rms I know they hold up strong in the sq department but how about spl?? Will it be loud in a xtracab tacoma?

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...

well i finally fixed all the things on my truck that need to be fixed (exceptfor the a/c which is being a pain) and im finally about to get off of doctors leave from my surgery and ive found a new, much better paying job, now im planning on finally installing a system! I started yesterday by buying a Kenwood KDC-X493 head unit, it has pretty descent features and i plan on using it untill i finish everything else, now i need to get new speakers, im not sure if i would like to run ctive or passive yet since i dont know all the advantages/disadvantages of each, so if someone could poit that out or direct me to another post that would be great, but i plan on having some in my…

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…

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

Im seriously lookin at gettin 2 of the S12X2, but i have a couple problems 1. I have no clue how to build a box...and dont know where i can buy one tough enough to get the job done 2. I dont know if they will fit into the trunk of a 2003 Evo Can anyone hook me up with some info on this?

Im in the market for a single 15, and I noticed the EVIL can take 3250 watts. I have an amp that pairs up with that perfectly. How do these sound? All of the vids I've seen make these seem pretty amazing. Has anyone experimented with box sizes for these?

So i decided to upgrade my frontstage and ordered a sundown sax 100.2 off db-r, it does 100w rms x 2 @ 4 ohm and 200x 2 @ 2 ohm. Now im looking for some component speakers. ive never looked into good door speakers. i just replaced my stock door speakers with cheap 6x8 3 way pioneer speakers from walmart and was fine with that for awhile. but now id like to get something thatll sound better and actually provide some midbass. any suggestions and recommendations are appreciated, i have no experience with upgrading my front stage so any input helps. my budget is around 200, i can spend a little more if i have to. i think i want to run them at 4 ohms

Which box would be best suited for daily use for the IXL 15? Or if anyone could help make a box. http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3c...hz56sqin6nx.png http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3c...z465sqin4wj.png

i have been instructed that you can not use multiple mid bass drivers (or multiple midrange/tweets either) because it is not possible to setup proper staging with this configuration. staging being set via the dsp to push the sound stage past the physical limits of the vehicle. is it true that multiple drivers are next to impossible to setup a sound stage on?

In the near future im going to be setting a new system in my car, im going to be running the sundown sae-1200d for my 2 sa-8's, and the sax-100.4d for my mid's and highs, and of course doing the big 3, and running a yellow top optima for my starting batt. now my factory alternator is a 110 amp. i was planning on running a tsunami 2 fared capacitor, so my question is for my set-up and system will this be sufficient, or will i need to upgrade my alt, or just add a batt.?
