Subwoofers / Speakers

I've been looking around seeing some people using some ridiculous amount of cheap subs to get a large amount of air displacement. What are some good 15" or 18" subs able to handle at least 250W to do this with? I have a project in mind.

one thing stands in my way of a 12 inch d2. low low end. i wanted to know how this subs low end compares to a infinity kappa perfect 12.1d my bro has that sub and as long as i can runble as low and be as loud whil being low as that sub, im content cuase his sub low end lvl is fine for my ears. stuff to give examples for you to compare on is like the intro to evanesecne song wake me up in side. that a low rumble or say the huge bassline right befor the drums come in on angels song from sevendust. i dunno if this would qualify as really low but i know metallicas song the sand mans intro bass drums are the most low hardcore bassdrums ive ever heard. hows a d2 on something li…

What would be a good Subwoofer choice (12"), If my preferences were in this order: 1.) LOW FREQUENCY EXTENSION 2.) SOUND QUALITY 3.) SPL ? I have 800-1000w into 2ohms I only Need One Space is not a Issue I am using 8" MidBass 2 would be acceptable

My friend is looking for a new set of 6.5" mids. He is restricted to 2 3/8" mounting depth. Any suggestions for mids or component sets with this restriction? Price is pretty much no object (within reason).

Well, i have a sub in my room that gets listened too occasionally... Im not looking for anything with incredible output (only have a 100watt amp) and it doesn't have to sound the greatest either... The only time i listen to it is in the morning getting ready and its not at really high volumes cause there are other people in the house but sometimes when no one is here i turn it up pretty loud... The box it is going in is somewhere between 2.3-2.5 cf cause im not sure if the whole thing is made of 3/4" material or just the front part with the sub... It is going to be ported as well... Right now the dumb manufacturers made the port 4" across and only 5" long... Not sure what…

Will low voltage to the amp cause it to blow the main fuse? Wrong section!

I've often seen that running a sub at lower impedance will increase distortion. Is it possible to generalize at all in this question? For a given sub, you have to try it out, or is it possible to say that at a final load of 4 ohm, you are unlikely to percieve distortion? I am asking because, if there is a risk, it might affect both amp and sub choice due to monetary limitations.

What are some of the 18" drivers with the lowest Le? Does it even matter?

im think of trading the LPG 25NFA 1" textile dome for the Seas 27TFFNC/G (H1396) 1" textile dome tweeter. what do yal think LPG http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...products_id=541 Seas http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466

So I managed to get a hold of 2 LMS Ultra 18"s and would like some input on enclosure design. I was thinking of building a smaller ported enclosure tuned low. Any one have any ideas?

Ok, so here is my situation. My current set up isn't satisfying enough for me. I currently have AMP: PPI PCX2200 800WATTS RMS BRIDGED BOX: PORTED BOX BUILT TO JL DESIGN CP112G-W1v2 (H 15.25 in. x W 20.50 in. x D 15.00 in.) so roughly i think i have around 2.5 cubic feet of volume SUB: 12" KICKER CVR 400WATTS RMS CAR: 1997 BMW 318IS WITH FOLDED DOWN SEATS GOAL: Good LSQ that'll kick some street Ars Sub that I'm considering to upgrade to: All single 12'' I want to see which is the best/loudest LSQ sub out of these since i've heard none of them and have read good things about most of them i've gotten myself rather confused. price on sub is not a questions will be working w…

Heard a level 4 15 sub today and it was a monster, low end was amazing, clear, and sounded nice, to top it off the sub wasnt even broken in yet just simply dammmmmm... Big props to sky from Hawaii Aloha

has anyone had any experience with a LV3 12 dvc4? if so what results did you have? and what type of boxes do they work well in? i thinking of going 2 12's for next setup and are considering these. thanks for any information, Dustin.

So same set up as befor, 1 Amp 1 Stinger 1700 2 DC LV4XL10's --- i dident clamp it so i dont have a exact number, just guessing off the last set up and clamped power i say around 4700 watts but again i dident clamp it so thats just a guess

Here are a few vids of my lv4xl10 in 1.7@36 on a saz1500. My camera doesn't pick up hardly any of the flex but I've had a few people on the other forums ask me to make some vids so here they are. Don't pay any attention to that RCA wire running across my seat. The one that was in there broke and I had this one lying around so I threw it in there temporarily.

What is the actual amount of clean power you can send to one of the lvl 2 subs? I know the website states 300 but it even says that number is an under rated suggestion. Also how much do these subs go for? Thanks for the help.

If i were to run 4 Level 3 15s, i have some competition questions about them. I do like that they have a 3" coil by the way Ok anyway, i plan on running a 3500d per PAIR of Level3s if i went with them. For daily, it wouldnt be that much, just for comp. Under heavy excursion- What will happen first- Bottom out or tinsel lead snapping? During music play, will there be tinsel lead slapping? Under heavy overpowering- When running a 3500d on a pair of Lvl3s, i know this may be hard to answer, but what should i expect if i run a 30sec average on music with these at that power level... and probably clipped if i still hadnt reached xmech yet... I'm tryin to find out just …

Looking for pricing on a single DC Sound Level 4 10" would like to review it next to my XXX, and a few other 10s so i figured i'd see what kinda pricing this sub goes for and whats the best way to go about getting one. I tryed to speak with WCA Rusty at one time about the DC brand but talks were kinda inconclusive so i thoguht i would post a thread in hopes for a response.

Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone has some more specs for the DC Level 4 12" I was looking for: Outside Mounting Diameter (for flush mount) Driver Displacement (cu. ft) Recommended Tuning (Fb) Recommended Port Area Recommended Port Length If anyone has any of these specs available it'd be a great help. Thanks, Steven

working on my new build,getting ready to build my box. subs are going in a 2007 Chevy impala,looking for opinions on which way to fire my aeros.i know that firing sub's back and ports back would probably yield best output, but I'm not going to have enough room on the baffle for the subs and areos.so what about subs back ports to the driver side firewall or subs up ports to the rear/tail lights,basically a crx type box. not really wanting to cut the rear deck as I'm trying to keep the stock look, any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. thanks

Okay, currently working with 2 15" R's. Looking to upgrade, and am currently using a Saz 3KD and will be using the same amp. Now I'll run it at 1 ohm and still 2 15"s, my question is which will be more efficient the xl's or the lvl5? lol I kinda want the lvl5 to show off the HUGE motor, but not sure if i'll have enough power to push them. I can't say for sure but maybe 6 more months down the line I might get another saz amp. But for NOW which is better for the power i have? Will it dig deeper and sound better than the R's? Birthday's next month and want to treat myself to something real nice.

I am looking at getting a new woofer for my car. I will be running 4000 watts when i redo my system and was wondering if the LVL 4 XL will hold up to this amount of power or will i definitely have to look at the LVL 5? It will be used mainly for daily use with occasional spl use.

How do these two stack up against each other? I like Fi, but am now the owner of a DC amp. Matching equipment might be nice. Plus, I don't think anyone in Miami has DC.

Ok guy i need some input, im going to be running a LVL 4xl 18 in my 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT hatchback and want to know what config you would use on the box subs up port back or what?Also how many cubes should the box be 8-10 i want this box to play low but not to low, ie (GROUND POUNDER) My main goal is for the box to reek havoc on my car.

just wanted to know when we could hope to get specs. the subs look sick
