Subwoofers / Speakers

Looking at a pair of Digtal Designs 2512D sub and pair of RE SE 12 which would be the loudest and cleanest in a ported box with the right power ?

I have two 12" JL w6v2 subs. I dont have an amp powerfull enough to power them anymore, so I'm going to run with a single sub for a while. I'm want to build a new enclosure for it... it will either be a sono tube or a fiberglass enclosure. I'm just wondering what some of you JL owners are running a single w6v2 in?? I know JL has some specs on their site for "suggested" enclosures. I've made their slot port before... but I sold it when I upgraded to two subs... and to be honest, I dont think its the best it could have been. I would like to go ported, will most likely used a round port. What are specs you guys using for your jl?? Any and all help is needed. I certai…

I'm not planning on getting any (way too much for my needs) but has anyone dealt with splc subwoofers? They seem pretty legit. Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with them. I see a craigslist posting for two splc neo 10" subs almost every other day(along with a stetson 7k and some battery's) for $2000. Either way, who has dealt with these bad boys and has videos?

So ive got the Fi 15 right now, and adding a sundown 1500D and an extra battery in the trunk this weekend.... But i was looking around on the for sale/wanted... and saw someone has a fi 18....and made me want to go louder before i even got my new amp in! So do you guys think i should stick with the 15 or go with the 18.... Its the 04 Lexus IS300 which are pretty small cars, and i dont want to rattle the thing apart since i just got it ... just so confused! what do yall think?

I'm really thinking of ordering up a couple of Level 4 subs for my cousins and I, but I am curious as to what you guys recommend as spec boxes as far as Volume/Port Area/Tuning? Thanks in advance! ALOHA FROM HAWAII, SKY

What is the consensus on usability of the volume of air behind the red panel ? This a box for an RE SE 15, that should go in a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant, very weird trunk and it's a 2-piece box. Box height is not enough at this point but I can get it 1/2" taller, which should be good to go.

I found a deal on a 12" TREO SSX and to be honest the best system I've ever heard was a TREO sub, which model I'm not sure. I was looking at 2 AA Avalanche 15's (old model) and I know that would pound and sound amazing, only problem is they are both dual 2 ohm and not only that the box would be much bigger. With the SSX recommending 2.25 cu ft tuned to 31.8hz would it do well playing low? Obviously it wouldnt be 2 AA avalanche 15's but what kind of performance could I expect from a 12 of this caliber? I'm gettin excited here Can't wait till I finally decide on something.

I would like to find a good selection of tweeters to pair with my MCintosh 630's https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSS630-McIntosh-COMPONENT-SPEAKERS-TWEETERS-MIDS-X-OVERS-GREAT-CLEAR-SOUND-NEW-/130617525735 and Audison bit1. I am also looking for a 100X4 amp that sounds clean. This has to fit in my 1990 Lotus esprit. The plan is and is going along. To finsh building my custom doors that house tweeters near the handles and midbass by the knees. The midbass will have boxes of around 4L-6L of capacity and be ported. Then when the speakers are built I plan on adding in a 4x100 amp for the front connected to the bit1 and having that connected to a CD or better quality audio so…

I'm looking for a recone for a juggernaut 12. I don't want to send it back to mmats I don't like there tensel leads they break too easy what other recones can I use for it

Correct me if I'm wrong, is it true that the more X-Max a sub has the louder it'll get sealed? If so, has anyone tried the FI Q series subs sealed yet? 27mm sounds like a really good amount of excursion. Was wondering because a friend of mine is considering a pair of them sealed with a 2000 - 2500 watt amp and he prefers sealed setups and wants a loud sealed setup with good SQ.

hello people, im looking for help on choosing a 6.5 componet set for my 05 grand am. im mainly looking for sq with very clean highs with a good amount of midrange aswell. i will be running a amp to these once i figure out what type of set i go with. my budget is around 200 or less. thanks

i have one dual voice coil 4 ohm sub. i wired it to 2 ohm. i checked the resistance with a DMM and the read out i got was 2.5 ohms. is this normal? also when setting my gain should i use the formula 500 watts x 2 ohm = sqrt (1000) = 31.62 or should i do 500 watts x 2.5 ohm???

I was looking and I cannot find 12" d2 icon specs...can anyone tell me? Also, I now may plan on running just a single 12"...I have narrowed my choices to three: xcon 12" d2 icon 12" d2 sa-12 d2 can anyone post up which sub they would choose? I have a 1999 nissan maxima. thanks oh btw I'm looking to get LOUD for just one 12". I Also want to keep SQ.

Well, I have 2 RE SE 12's on a Us Amps XT4000DEV2, heres the problem my stock speakers can't hold up for shit.......And my max budget on Speakers is 100$ and as for an amp I'm pretty set on the Us Amps XT800.4V2 for the price(50)......So my decision is on what components i should get....Was originally set on some Type R's to match my rears, then SSA has the bravox group buy and all this happening I can't decide i just want to hear my mids and highs over my subs. I well deaden the doors and make a little sealed chamber for better mid. Might go active but I'm not so sure. I also plan on getting an EQ so just need to decide on which things to get. Oh BTW my speaker hole is 6…

would the Zed Minilith be a good match for the new Mag? I know the Mag is rated at 900RMS and the Minilith is rated at 600RMS. I know the Mag can take less and the Minilith does more but would this be a good match for SQ and the occassional SPL comp?

hey nick i know this isnt exactly Sub related but i saw in a different forum that you sugjested the Morel MW144 midrange driver to someone? you said it was really good and had killer flat responce so i was wondering if you could please tell me a bit about it? maybe even a review if possible?

When i hook up components and wire them to my amp, does the crossover unit that comes with them split the power between the two? my amp is 70w per channel does that mean my tweeter sees 35 and the woofer 35? Is it possible to just use all four channels for just my front stage? when the set is rated at 100w rms does that mean each piece can handle that or are the 50w each?

I got my Sundown SA-12D2 a couple of days ago. Unfornately I was too illl to installl it. Out of the box I was totally impressed with this driver considering how much it cost. The motor is too big to be rated at 600 rms. Anyway I swapped out my RE Audio SXX and dropped the SA in. The enclosure is 2^3 tuned at 32 hz. I found what I was looking for as far as sound quality. This driver has more of a musical quality to it than the SXX. It seemed like the SXX just wanted murder lows. This sub gives me the best of both worlds. It can kill the lows and still give you good quality lower mid bass. I'm running it on a RF Power T500-1bd that came rated at 762 watts @ 1 ohm. When I g…

found these on my front step today!!! cant wait to start my build

Well, the issue I am having is that I am running the component set off of a Sundown SAX 100.2 2-channel amplifier which is rated at 100watts x 2 channels @ 4-ohms. The issue I am having is that I have the gains on this amplifier set at 1/3 of the way, the volume on the HU is at 26/35(roughly around 75%), volume offset at +3db's, and the EQ settings on a preset setting. No loudness on the Ipod EQ or the HU EQ. So I decided since I must be exceeding the tweeter's power handling that the amplifier must be outputting atleast over 20 AC Volts(= 100watts at 4-Ohm). So I took a DMM down to amplifier speaker outputs and decided to see how much voltage was being sent to the compon…

Ok, I'll put this out to those who are definitely not as technically challenged as I. I went garage-saling, and picked up a set of used Infinity Ref 6000cs's for $30. Have since tested them and work fine, just not enough base for me. I tried them in a small 1/3 cube homemade box to test them. Now, is it possible to just replace the Infinity Woofer with an MLI-65 and get much better base(sound quality and punch) with a cold swap ? There are really no "adjustments" that can be made on these crossovers except to go -3db's on the tweets. Just wondering...

tryin to see what 12s would u guys choose to run on a aq2200 @ 1? lookin to spend about $500. this is goin in a 03 impala and i got 5 cubes to play with. lookin mostly for SPL.

I heard the low note is 16Hz or something like that, but there is a note around 3-6Hz several times

I have a 4000 watt hifonics brutus amp, and im have trouble deciding which subs i should get. i have been thinking about getting 1 18btl but i have herd that getting just one 18 btl is not a good idea. why is that not a good idea? if its not a good idea what subs should i look into, i have a trail blazer so space is pretty much unlimited, and im looking to spend no more than 750 for sub(s). Or have i herd wrong is one 18btl the way to go, i just want to bump really hard im not looking to enter into competitions and such just for my everyday driving, ha and maybe to show off a little. any and all help is appreciated.

From my post on the meca official team smoke xtreme thread Guys i would officially like to welcome Stereo Integrity on board with Team Smoke Xtreme for the 2006 season. Nick is gracious enough to give us great drivers, unlimited tech support, as many recones as needed, and all and all a nice friend in the industry. All team members shoudl consider switching to these drivers since Nick is going to try and support our ENTIRE team. Members of the team are not required to use these subs, but are ENCOURAGED to. Mr. Lemmons is a great guy to deal with and is decently close to the core of the team. He is located in Mooresville, NC. I personally drove to his houe to pick up my 12…
