    What is the frequency response of the D2? I was thinking about using the Koda 6 midbass which starts at 200Hz and wanted to know where the D2 topped out.

    In a slightl;y better enclosure than the last. Last enclosure was the fibergalss one I built which was 1.9 cu ft tuned to around 33hz using a 4" aeroport. This is a 2.1@31hz enclosure I had fisher customs makle up for me. More port area since space wasn't as critical as the GTO, plus I will have the seat down from time to time, so minimal port noise was wanted. Thje area is 31 sq inches. This setup sounds so much better than the GTO did. A lot louder as well. Most of that has to do with the 2 different vehicles though. The GTO just isn't advantageous to a sub in the trunk. The cavalier is a bit more accommodating, just a chittier car lol. Here is a few short clips. I got…

    When i was out riding today bumpin, i have my volume 1/4 the way up and my subs stop playing. Last time i had this problem the power wire came out of the amplifier but not this time, all the connections was still in tact and the amp was still on. I thought it was the fuses but if a fuse was blown the amp power light will not be on.....what you guys think? i praying the subs are not blown because the volume wasnt all the way up

    I found an old JL 10 for sale, didn't see a number on it. Looks like it was reconed or something but ok job. Motor is near as big as the hole it would go in, its heavy. Kind of well used looking but new JL dustcap and maybe foam on it, it is all black and stamped looking frame....any idea of value? Not sure what I could do with only one. It has thick paper gasket on top edge that is torn up some, the rest is not bad.

    just kidding. I am just anxious to see SI back up and running. Ever since SI was robbed I have turned alot of friends onto the Mag. They keep asking me when will more be for sale. Its amazing how people will talk crap about your sub cause its not down at the local sound shop then gauk at it after hearing it and try to buy it from you. Any recent info on how things are coming for SI? sure hope Nick and them don't abandon the SI 8" midbass. I have been holding out.

    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..

    Ok, so yes I was one of the lucky ones to demo the prototype of this new Mag. And I "kinda" knew what to expect, though the proto 15 had some chrome problems leaking into the pole causing non 100% performance. So I did know how much better to expect from the production driver. So it came in wed. and I put it in thursday. I just completely swapped it out with my other Mag (previous version) same box, same amp, same amp settings, xover settings, same everything except the new driver. So I let it break in for 2 days on my drives to work (45 min one way). Didn't turn it up past 20, out of 35, just to warm her up and all. just some good ol Panic to break her in. (schools is r…

    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. …

    well, as you know SSA is now a mach5 distributor. Right now i have 2 infinity perfect 12.1's. I was planning on doing these with a ported box, but the more i read, the more id like to try a mach 5 maw15. The maw would cost a little more, because i can probably only get about 80 or so for the pair of perfects. I have one sealed in my car now with 300 watts, but its not loud at all, and i would just be worried about the output. I know this is the mach5 forums and may be a little biased, but most\ of the mach 5 knowledge comes from here. So i ask you, keep the perfects and go ported with about 700-800 watts, or do one maw15 ported with about as much as it can handle? t…

    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?
