Subwoofers / Speakers

One of my friends has 2 Pioneer TS-W307D4s in a regular ole cheap ported box on a Kenwood 1800 watt amp and it actually gets pretty loud...in the 140s if he turns it all the way up and it doesnt sound bad either. For the price ($50-$70) they are actually a very good deal. Any ever heard these or the step up Pioneer Premier subs?

So i have 2 that say image dynamics and have the logo in the front but thats it. They look pretty old and work, kind of higher bass even in a ported box. Im comparing this to what i had in the exact same box RF Hx2 15. My question is, what are these subs? Has anyone heard of them or maybe they are fakes?

Ok so i have a JL Audio 12w6v2 and a Xterminator 1600.4 amp. My amp handles only up to 4ohms bridged but the sub goes 8 or 2. At 8 it sounds like the amp is pushing out all it can so i think it doesn't sound good, at 2ohms it sounds good but i cant turn it up becuase protection comes on. Is there any way to get the sub up to 4ohms by adding some kind of resistor? Has anybody done this before, if there is no cure i guess i can run my Alpine MRP-M450 which is 2ohms stable but i was trying to see if i could just use one amp. I'm new by the way lol Thanks,

I bought my first pair of Level 4 12''s... not bad for a 17 year old...i got it super cheap.. well i think they were cheap.. I cant wait till i get my new amp.. havnt got a clue on which one yet.. and on Sunday. was the first day of cruising... trust me... i broke necks left and right haha

im looking at getting either two Sundown Nightshade, two IA DP or two DC Level 4XL all 12in. im unsure of which two to choose. ive read good things about all, but i cant test or hear any of them since no one around here has them. i was wondering which would you choose? i wont compete i just want a loud daily driver. i preorded a Sundown SAZ-3500D to power them. any input would be great thanks guys.

SO I just got a new amp ( Cadence DCA 2500.1) and Im going to move on from my Memphis M3 10s, mainly because I blew one of them but I want something louder deeper etc... I have a ford Explorer sport trac so that gives you an idea of the kind of vehicle. I want what ever I get to be extremely loud, but of course I want some quality sound in there. I designed a 6 cuft net for the Qs with 1.2 cuft of port area tuned to 30 hz. Or for the BTL 5 cuft net tuned to 36 hz. I seriously cant decide. But if you rec. other subs, the gross cuft of the box really cant go over 8cuft due to space issues ( I would lose 2 seats instead of just one). Any suggestions would be greatly appreci…

Well I have a 2005 Scion XA hatchback, will be running either a memphis MCD-1000 or a sundown SAE-1000d. I listen to metal, rap, and drum n bass mostly, and I am thinking that the 12" BL will be the sub for me. I am looking for loud and deep, with the ability to keep up with the drums in metal. I am just looking for advice as to whether or not this is a good sub choice, and should I go ported, and how should I tune it?

Testing one of these out before i order 4 more to complete the setup Both amps @ .5, havent clamped them yet....i might do that today, but theyll do rated power from other peoples results ive seen Full tilt not clipping the amps itll take the power all day long....when i clip it full tilt gets a bit louder but can start to smell after a min or 2 of a constant song. Theyll be perfect with 4 2200s @ 1ohm on 4 12s..... :bigclap: :bigclap: :bigclap: VID: http://vimeo.com/4096369

I'm looking at getting a new 18" sub right now I'm debating a hdc318 and a fi q 18. I have a zx1500 amp so looking to throw 1500 watts at it. I want a sub that will play low as well as get loud I use to run a pair if 12" re se's that did a 144 legal on tl so I want new set up to beat that any ideas I. What to get? I also have concidered a bl but they aren't in the website yet and I need to order sub by monday.

I'm redoin my setup this year and want to see if any of you have any thoughts about my new setup just in case i may have missed a possible setup design.. So, i will hand the specs over to you guys and tell me what you would do with the following- 4,400w of power = 2,200w @1ohm per amp Possible Internal volume = 15.5 Cubes! Displace 1.5-2.00 cubes for port = 13.5-14.0 cubes plus sub displacement. Baffle room - room that is capable of fitting a select number of subwoofers- 16 8s 8 10s 8 12s 4 15s 2 18s (note this is baffle room, you must account for internal required volume for proper suggestion) Price limit - $900 I pretty much already have my mind made up, just wondering…

i was wondering if a sub calls for a 120 sq in port and you have 3 of them do u multiply it by 3 or what?

Just as topic asks.... how to you tell what the dual voice coil ohm is?

im curious if anyone has any experience with bravox subs, or have heard anything, ie quality and service thanks.

im trying to find good mids and highs for my truck my buddy just bought oxygen audio 6 1/2 and there loud as hell but they were $100 a piece and they dont come in pairs. Anyone know of good mids and highs that come in pairs and are not super expensive.

I got 2 18" Level 4 XL's. I was in reno staying at the silver legacy having fun lol and I placed an order with rusty not only did he making them quickly for me he also went out of his way and delivered them to my hotel which was hella cool since I dont know reno to well. He also played his system for me which was crazy loud and sounded incredibly clean. DC subs FTW.. These are some sick ass subs I cant wait to install them.

im thinking about getting a level 4 15 what kind of warranty do they have?? thanks

hello ssa just wanted to know if i strapped a rockford bd3000 on either a fi btl 15" or a DD 9515" in a good ported box to specs...which will produce more numbers? and also sound better doing it?

So, from what I have read and come to understand, a larger ported box reduces the power required for a given driver to reach its mechanical limits. My question, then, is if you have the space to build a larger box, within the acceptable range for a given driver, and are not concerned with space or weight, would there be any reason to choose a smaller box? Given the same linear travel, would supplying more power to one woofer increase control and/or speed of the speaker vs the other? Or, since less power is being supplied and therefore stored in the coil, would delay due to inductance be reduced? Any other factors?

I like for my lowest bass to be very strong. I'm not into the high/loud bass that you hear from street beaters. I'm very interested in the 2 Q 15's but since i have stock alt(2000 grand marquis) I doubt i go any higher than 1500 rms total for them. Which makes me think i'd waste them. Are the SS series subs as good with the low notes with that much power? I'm going sealed. I like the sound of subs in 4 cubes per and bigger. thx for any input..oh yeh, i also have the L7 on the list however my friends tell me the FI subs would destroy them

i have the 08 hifonics brutus 2000 will it push 2 15" fi q's? i don't have any options on the subs...and yes i already have done the big 3 and have two batts!

on the right amount of power in a good ported box tuned to around 35hz to 30hz, which sub will produce more spl...yes i know they are both more LOUD SOUND QUALITY oriented, but narrow it down to which one will be louder! jl w7 13 or Elemental designs 13 Av.2 i know the price of the ed is almost half of the W7 but sometimes that falls back on you get what you pay for!

Anyone know what it is? :bigclap:

i have a 12 inch hifonics goliath 1600 watt sub... dual VC the basket is cracked. does any one know of a 18 or 15 inch basket with soft parts for this motor?

Finally got my sub from the UPS guy. I can't wait til I fab up a box for this baby. Anyhow...onto some pics! i'm loving the look of that motor! multiple vents for cooling. more cooling all around the top plate... next to my RL-p 15 More pics will follow as I construct the box sometime this weekend.
