Subwoofers / Speakers

my plan was to run a single 15 sealed in about 2.3cuft. i did some more measuring last night and i could maybe get 3cuft. i may have to rethink my amp mounting. so i narrowed it down to an Fi 15Q (will work if i go sealed), Fi 15SSA, (will not work sealed), and the DC level 3 15 (sealed or ported). my amp will run 800rms at 4ohm, 1600peak. i am interested in the level 3 15; it is the lowest rated sub in the group. are those numbers conservative? i did pm rusty. he said it would run fine at that level sealed. how are hard have those who own one pushed it? am i really losing much going sealed. i guess i am gun shy. thanks.

I just ordered my 12" Level3 sub. Im anxious to start building the enclosure and wanted to know if anyone knew the outer diameter of the sub. I want the sub recessed against the enclosure. Thanks!!!

Hey guys need some help for a box for a Level 4 12". Im going to have 2 Lvl412's ported, giving them about 1200w each. On the DC site they recommend 1.5 cubes for Ported, and 2 cubes for SPL ported. I guess my first question is, is this measurement net or gross? Also, im kinda looking for a daily/spl setup, so would it be alright to go with 1.75 cubes per sub? And another thing i wasn't sure of, whats the recommended port tuning? for SPL or daily? Has anyone had a preference with these subs and has another recommendation? Thanks, Steven

just orders 1 15inch dc level and wondering what battery i should get for the engine and the trunk ?

Hey you owners, lol. I need to know what is the mounting depth of JUST the magnet itself. The website says 8" for the whole subwoofer but i am designing my wall and need to draw out the magnet so i can properly run allthread without running into the magnets. So... just the magnet itself, what is the depth? Thank you.

hey guys..i dont want to start another "which would be louder thread", so im not going to. But i was just wondering, comparing a DC Level four 12 to a DD 3512, would they be similar in terms of performance? Thanks again.

How much power would you guys recommend for a DC Level 4 XL 10 or 12. I just want the shock factor of holy shit thats a 10?!?!?! lol

i am building a box for 2 a pair of level 4xl's and i was wondering would there be a big difference of i only did 12's instead of 15's?

hey im gettin a level 5 18" and im going to b putting 4000 watts to it does anyone know how big of a box i should use to get max power out of the sub

looking for direct pricing and team pricing on the 15s and 18s. no one seems available to discuss anything with me

have you got any figures for xmax on the DC LEVEL 5's yet please ? specifically the 12 and 15, shouldnt make much difference either way..

How many people would be interested in these at 180 each? Yang for 1 Yama168 for 1 Johnecon2001 for 1 SteveSan for 1 JYBfan04 for 1

noticed the LFB2K is available in 16V, and I need a couple 16V batts for an upcoming show. Just wondering what the lead time is on them, I'm kind of in a time crunch.

Well, I think I am leaning towards two sealed twelves now, instead of an icon or xcon in a large ported box. Since IA doesn't post any specs on their woofers, it is hard to model responses and compare these two woofers. If I were to put these woofers into an optimum sealed enclosure, which would be better? What I mean by better is which one would give me the lowest extension, and upper extension, and the best SQ? Sundown shows an F3 of 44hz in a 1 cu. ft. box. that isn't too bad, and should dig pretty deep, but I cannot tell anything about the LI. They are both rated at 600 watts which will match nicely to my amp. They are priced the same. They both have great re…

I was browsing the local car audio store when I saw one of these with a neo magnet. I looking for any info anybody has on this. I know they are similar to a TC3000, but thats about it. Dual 4 ohm FS 39hz QTS .643 Vas .832cuft Xmax 25mm SPL 85db 1w/1m 1000w rms $500 from the store. I looking for basically how they sound, what kind of driver they are, and if you think they are worth that kind of cash. Help is appreciated. Thank you

Hello all fellow bass heads Like the title says I need help, getting my recones for my subs but I failed to order the glue, (I ass umed it came with the KIT) but was wrong. is there any thing I can use for recones in place of the ca glue that works as well, I have a show in 2 weeks and im afraid I wont be ready in time (break in the subs) Thanks

A while back I bought a cheap budget system used off one of my buddies friends for $150 bucks. It was an 12" Orion sub, Alpine amp, and a Obcon box. Sounds pretty good and hit fairly hard. So when I bought it, the seller stated it was a 200 watt rms sub running off the amp @ 2 ohms which produces 300 watts rms. He didn't know the model of the sub just the specs the local audio shop told him when he bought the package. Well I am in the process of installing 2 ssd 12" and a 1600 watt amp. So for fun while I am waiting to finish the box I decided to pull the sub from the temp setup just to laugh at the tiny magnet it should have. Based off what he told me and the dust cap I …

I have a sa8 in a 1.0cubic ft Ported box around 33-34hz the sub is 400 rms and I have a planet audio Tq1601d monoblock amp. I want to run it at 2 ohm but thats pushing 800rms. Do you guys think the sub can handle that power? I mean, gains down and careful tuning on my headunit the sub shouldn't be in danger right? At 4 ohms the amp pushes 500rms.

Hey all.Im wanting to get some new subs and im wondering which way to go.I know this has been asked thousands of time but im wondering should I get a Pair of 12" Xcons or a single 15" Zcon?I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant and the subs would go in my trunk.Im kinda wanting to go with the single 15" Zcon but I want to be as loud as I can get.The zcon would save me some cash but would it be as loud as the xcons?I have a planet audio bb2 2400watt RMS amp right now and I plan on getting a second and strapping them in the very near future.So with this in mind what would you guys recommend?Oh and how many cubic feet should a box for a single 15" zcon be?I seen what the xcon recom…

I've asked this a few other places and have not gotten much help at all. One day I'll learn. Anyway, I drive a small SUV. I absolutely love my Dcon, but the box just takes up too much space. I do plan on trying it sealed, hopefully in the next few weeks, but I kind of want to try something else this summer, just to play around. My budget will be around $200 or less. I've been looking at running three 8's, a single 10" or 12", or a pair of small box 10's. Not having much luck with the last one, except for the Fi X, but a pair would be a little over my budget. I currently have an RF Prime 500.1, but I'm not opposed to getting a new amp in the future (I'd like to k…

Been out of audio for a few years now so Im going to need to get some advice on brands/models... I am looking at replacing and amping up my audio in a '06 BMW 3 series. Stock is 4" in doors, 1" tweets in upper doors. 8" sub under each seat. I want to get a Fosgate 360.1/2 and add in my 12" SI mag, but I can also skip the extra weight of the mag and just replace the stock 8" subs under each seat. This is some of the speakers to have been found to work on these cars...Are there anything better?

We use a QSC Line Array setup for virtually every show we do, even in smaller areas. The disadvantage is price and setup time. The advantage is more even coverage over the area. In our situation we simply use two stacks each consisting of a KW181 Sub and two KLA12 tops. Typically we try to place them on the stage far left and right and aimed slightly inward. The thing to remember with line arrays is that to retain the advantage of the line array you need significantly less overall volume than you might be used to in a conventional setup. In a conventional setup you're depending more on volume to fill an area, but because there's less loss of sound vertically, things …

anyone have experience running these on magnums? i was thinking about getting the T03 2.2HV. it says in the manuel 750x1 at 4 ohm and they can go down to 1 ohm so im trying to figure out what they put out at 1 ohm.

Looking for a good link on how to make a fiberglass enclosure. Anyone have one? Thanks
