Subwoofers / Speakers

is it worth the 20 bucks to go with the type r coaxial over the type s coaxial my amp is a rockford fosgate r300-4 50w rms at 4ohms

Im debating on which subs to get and need some help. I was thinking of 2 12" Kicker CVX's or 2 15" Kicker L5's. I do want SQ but its not that big of a deal since I mostly listen to rap. Any help is appreciated

Is it possible to easily mod the SSA DCON 12 to have a higher resonance frequency, say 39Hz? I know some subs appear to allow this by simple dust cap replacement (replace the stock dust cap with a lighter one).

I'm looking to put a sub in my g/f's car. i want it to be as loud as possible. im open to suggestions on how to tune the box and model of sub. here are the requirements: must have a final ohm load of 4 ohm 300-500w rms atleast a 12" or 15" MUST BE UNDER $100 SHIPPED (NEW OR USED) any help is greatly appreciated. I've been looking around for some time now, and cannot decide. It's going to be in a 98 Ford Escort ZX2. Thanx!

I was wondering how a 15" mag sealed with 1000 watts will sounds in a 2.8 box. I was hoping to achieve a LSQ setup if that is possible. I would like to know if in a sealed setup the mag will be able to put out a fair amount of volume becasue i already know that no matter what i do to it it will sound great i am just wondering about the volume? Thanks in advance for your help.

It's been awhile since I've been here working 60+ hours aweek. First off, I love my clarIon SSW1200 and have been very pleased with it. I'm looking at lowering the overall wattage in my stereo. I'm looking at the SSA subs. My retirements: SQ Want some good output, SPL. And HAS to fit in a 1.45 cf ported box that is tuned to 37Hz. I simply don't have the room for a bigger box. Let me know please, what's good for 400 wrms AND 1000 wrms both at 4 ohms.

Sorry this took so long It's done now 1 12" IDMax in 3.2 tuned to ~24hz Thanks to Beerman for the calc it worked great Braced, milkshaken terminal cups, flush mount, double mouting baffle, rounded edges on everything, small amount of stuffing, NOTE THIS IS MY SECOND REAL BOX so don't be too harsh. It sounds great, the only problem is that things inside the house rattle so much it just doesn't sound clean at high volume. later, b

Interesting reading over on the "Ok,ok its time to leak info" thread.I have an original Mag that has the 'CLAW' basket and was wondering if the new parts for the new Mag can be used with the 'CLAW' basket?

which 15" fi sub will be best to run off me amp i have the cadence a7

Hello everyone! I hope my question isn't a stupid one lol. I know a things or 2 about car audio but aren't an expert or a box builder. I currently have 2 SSA dcon 12s in 1.75 cubes each tuned to 33hz powered by a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bdCP. A local shop built the box according to the box recommendations on SSA's site and it sounds pretty good and gets loud for just 500 watts. I can tell from how it sounds like the box was properly built. What I'm wondering is if a pair of SA-12s would be able to use the same box. The recommended specs for the SA-12s is 1.75 cubes per sub. If they could I'd like to get either a Sundown SAZ-1500D V.2 or save money and get an Audioq…

Pulled a 155.8 on the TL at the dash with this. SO stoked!!!!

Should I go with 3 or 4 kicker 12L7's.....2 13w7's....or 2 or 3 12w7's I'll probably haev either two kicker 1500 watt amps or the kicker 2500 watt amps. I'm looking to bump hard around town, sound nice and get real loud. It'd be nice to about hit 150dB if possible. thanks! Or if there are any other subs that are comparable if not better, suggestions are welcome!

ive been curious about running one of these ib. i have 300rms at 4ohm available. im going to be upgrading to a 2way active front stage and im considering ib for some improved sq but i dont want to lose tomuch spl.... currently i have a 12" AA arsenal in 2.2 cubes tuned to ~30 hz seeing 600rms (my amp is 300rms at 4, 600 at 2 /= kenword excelon kac x10d). i still need to take some messurements to see if it will fit in the ski way. maybe ill have to find a 15 or two... if i was to sell my sub and amp i bet i could get about 300-350 for them or about 200-250 for the sub/box. what does a sub need to be run ib? ive read either lots of cone area or lots of xmax?

Hey guys i built a 4.0cuft.box tuned to 30hz for two Dcon 12D4's, but they not back in production yet. So i took a look at the IA187 12-D4, how do they sack up to the Dcon,i would like to use the same box i have already built. Sould I wate for the Dcon or buy the 187 ? PS. my amp is a R/F T500-1 bdCP. help me out please, thanks guys.

I looking at putting 4 sa 8's under seat in 99 silverado. I have 2 10's RF T1d4's in there right now in sealed box. Would I gain anything by putting 4 8's in there? I'm running a RF T10001 at 1 ohms . I would probably need more power but if it won't improve or get louder then I'll just keep what I have. I have about 2 cu ft of air space I think , it may be a little more. Just need some opinions. Thanks

just making a final pick on subs for the back of a hatchback subs will be in a 2.5 3 cubic box ported and it will be a single 10 have about 800rms to play with at 4 ohms i mostly listen to rap.

Ok so i just wanted to see what would work best in the space i have which is. 16H x 38W x 28D. The depth and width can be lowered if need be. Sub choices are sundown zv4 12's - fi sp4 12's - ssa zcon n evil 12's - aa mayhem 12's - dss ethos 12's and dc xl 12's. This will be a dual set up and they will be powered by an audio legion 6.5k with a total of 4 xs power d 3100's

well i have decided that it is time for a switch up in the system. i curently have a RE sx 15", with a american bass 100.1, but the sx is being sold today. after reading many rave reviews and talking to sean (ibander on most fourms) i am pretty set in that i want to get the new mag. the only thing is if i want a 12 or a 15. my dilemma, i would like trunk space. but no big deal if i dont have any. ibander said that with too big a box none of the sound will make it into the cabin, i believe what he says being that he knows more than me and has more experience. i will probally just go with a 12" ported i dont really have a question, or a point. just wanted to say hi and yo…

A gotta call from a friend of mine this morning. He just bought this... http://www.poweracoustik.com/pa2006/produc...IO_wof_mofo.htm He was asking all kinds of questions about it and I told him that I didn't know much about power acoustik's stuff. So here I am again. Does anyone have any experience with this sub? Loud? sound quality? will it run at rated power? I know this is kind of general without box specs but I haven't measured his truck yet so I do not have them. Just in general has anyone ever heard these things because I have pretty much stayed away from power acoustik.

What you guys got cooking? I want to help a buddy of mines make an enclosure for them but we have no specs on them aside that they are made by GS Redline?

Was just wondering how a single 15" D2 will handle 1500 watts of power? Is it too much for the driver, or will it handle it perfectly and pound to my heart's content? Thanks

what model is this FI? it says "15 BTL D2 PW PC" written on the magnet with a sharpie, im guessing thats from the builder? but i had someone tell me this is not a BTL, i need this cleared up since im selling it, and i dont wanna misrepresent what it is.. thanks

Has anyone used one in an IB configuration in a car?

I picked up some BNIB 10" Clarion subs for stupid cheap. In the owners manual they have box sizes listed for SQ sealed (.5 cubes) and SQ ported (.65 cubes). I've never seen SQ ported box recommendations before. Anyways, here's something else that was in the manual. Sealed: Power Handling-Good at all frequencies Linearity-Excellent Dynamic Performance-Excellent Efficiency-Good Subsonic Output-Excellent Midbass Output-Excellent Enclosure Size-Small Ported: Power Handling-Good above tuning frequency Linearity-Good Dynamic Performance-Good Efficiency-Very Good Subsonic Output-Good Midbass Output-Very Good Enclosure Size-Medium Does this mean that these subs are more suited …
