Subwoofers / Speakers

i have a 95 jimmy, with 2 cvr 15's and 1 sae 1200dv2. i am wanting 2 other choices for CHEAP spl, i will be buying another sae 1200dv2, db electrical 220a alt and couple kinetic batts, to TRY keep voltage around 14v to achieve around 1500rms each amp. and i also dont want my back seat to go down. the choices are, 4 AQ SDC2.5 12s -- 4 L5 solo-b 12's i know i gotta be careful with the barics, and they sound like , but i want loudest possible for best price. i want 4 12s. also either of the new setups (4 12s and extra amp) will definitely be louder than my cvr 15's right?

Hey guys, so I just got me a sundown zv5 15 and built a box for it. I was tight on space so i went with an aero ported box, its roughly in the 4.5 ft3 area after displacement and what not. I'm using a 8" sonotube tuned to 32hz. I figure the 8 would work well because it's slightly less port area than what is needed for a slot port. And I've read aero port don't need to be as much as a slot port. Anywho, the sub kills the lows! It's moving a lot of air. But on the higher frequency is just lacks. For example , young jeezy- put on, that first note out of that 4 notes really sucks. lol it's real quiet compared to the other 3 notes that follow it. I tried another p…

Do you have to put it in the oven? Cuz the glue around that thing is super super hard like fiberglass, and i can't cut it off/

yes the motor is bigger than the cut out =]

I'm considering going to a single twelve to get my trunk back, and I'm having a very difficult time deciding on a driver for my application. I like the output of the BTL 18 I have and I am under the impression I can achieve similar output on a smaller driver because I've never even heard the Btl on more than 1500rms. There's a few too many options for me to pick from, I've been spinning in circles. If I'll have 7500rms on tap and anything from 1.5-2.5cu, what would be a woofer capabile of strong authoritative bass? I'm looking at N2/N3 12's, Evil 12's, Team Sundown 12's but I have no clue how to pick one. Each is a significantly different price and I just want to mak…

just ordered a single 12 zcon that im going to run on a bc3500.. so excited but damn I dont want to wait... I guess thats a small price to pay for such a quality product. I would also like to thank Aaron Clinton for being so helpful and answering all my questions and concerns with lighting fast response times... i will also start a build log once I get the sub in my hands.. what do you guys think? will it get me loud in a 02 cavalier?

So friends down under can now take advantage of decent pricing on Mach 5 products from Affordable Drivers. They have received their stock and are now shipping: http://www.affordabledrivers.com.au Best, Mark

Which is better ( Fi 15 inch bl or a Kicker l7 15 inch) Would like some opinions on which is more liked amongst everyone! Kind of stuck trying to pick 2 new Subwoofers out for the new system I'll be putting in my car. Yes I know kicker isn't a very favored brand for a lot of people, but I have heard a lot of great things about kickers new 2 ohm 15 inch l7's. I still have a few friends who swear by Fi and SMD's Subwoofers so I thought I would see if I could get some added opinions.

As most of you know I am running 2 XCON 15s. The other day I let my player go into a sweep of 20-60hz, obviously way below my tuning. My amps do have a set ssf at 28hz. However, my subs bottomed out like crazy for a couple seconds(stopped before I could run to deck to turn down). Now I am having issues with one of the subs. When I say issues its very confusing. I don't seem to have lost any output, BUT when I watch the subs play its almost as if they are "out of phase" with each other. The left sub is BARELY moving at low volumes and even at higher volumes on steady tones. On some songs it seems to move just as much as the other, but on most songs AND tones it is barely …

Has anyone heard the True Bass Solutions Ultra 10 subs? If so what are they comprable to.

I have an 07 ram quad cab. Second time owning this truck. It has hertz energy 6.5"comps in doors and hertz dieci 5.25" in rear doors. I have a jl XD500/3 on comps and the sub channel puts out 300 at 2ohms. I will not change amps. I will be buying that under seat box for 1 10" .65-.8ft^3 depending on which box I decide to get. So I want SQ. Loud is subjective loud to me wont be loud to you all I know. I really want to fill in the bottom octaves is ideally what I want. So what sub for the small sealed box and 300 watts? Pricing the cheaper the better $125 is probably the max cause thats $200 for sub and box and im broke for car audio. …

Sry to keep posting these questions but ill try to make it as specific as possible. Mind you i perfer a really warm sounding speaker but i also like detail. So im doing a 3 way setup with either the CDT ES 07 and the Peerless SLS or the Hertz Hi Energy 165 (6.5) and HV200 (8) So which do you think i would like more and would have the best SQ

I found a website with premade speaker pods, how do you guys think they would work? Customspeakerpods.com

I have a 2009 dodge charger the amp I have is a Audioque 2200.I am tryna figure out which subwoofer is better for me.My two choices are the Ssa icon 12"s or the kicker l7 12"s I like loud and also it is a daily driver.Thanks for any suggestions.

Looking to get a new 15" sub to replace my 2 SA-12's. I am very pleased with them, but i am just wanting to try something new and have been itching to build a new box lol. Looking for sound quality over anything else. Price range is around $200. Will be most likely going in a ported box in the trunk of my altima. Just wanting some suggestions of good quality 15" subs in my price range. Thanks in advance!

Ok I've been looking around a lot and the beefiest 10" I can find is the dc level four xl, with 1500rms that is probably underrated... I dont know prices but are there other 10" above 1000rms that dont break the bank? I really wish fi made a 10" btl but that magnet is HUGE... Im considering a single 10" for primarily spl purposes but the better it sounds the happier I am ... so any suggestions?

i saw a pic of the new powerbass PR12 and i have to say it reminds me of the new rockford subs.... hope its goin to perform better......... just thought i say this.....lol jamie

found over 15 reviews on these on sonic electronix, and they were all rated a 5 star. looking for members feedback on these. i did have my eyes on JBL gto series, but NVX looks worth trying.

for about 2 years now i have been running a set of ID ctx65cs components off a MB quart dsc4125 which does 125x4 @4ohms and 250x4 @ 2ohms, and i liked it, but i blew the drivers side mid coming home from work the other day, and i figure now is a good time to upgrade. what do you guys thing about this package deal?http://www.wooferset...r-speakers.aspxseeing as how i want to get some rear fill speakers anyway, seems like a good deal to me, any input on those components? im assuming that the rms rating that they have listed is just for the front component set that comes with it, because if you go to the component speakers themselveshttp://www.wooferset...t-speakers.aspx, it…

About half of my active setup arrived in the mail today. The tweeters are supposed to come later today and then some more wiring tomorrow, the mids friday, and the coustic crossover on saturday I hope. FEDEX really beat the chit out of my packages. I was kind of scared at first. Now, without further ado, stick around for more

Just thought I would post up a link to some aura sound buy-outs just in case people may have not seen them. The components should be decent especially considering the price. I have personally never had bad experiences with aura gear, but haven't really used alot of it either. They also have some nice priced amps too. I ordered 4x6, 6.5 coax, and 6.5 comp. Won't be able to give a review however, as they will be shipped to my brothers house in another state. Here is the link: aura sound Tony Nelson

I sent out two 15' pieces of Omni speaker wire to Ryan yesterday. The list of demoees is as follows (in shipping order as well): Ryan M. Brad E. Jason G. Nick B. Nick C. Keith M. Justin T. That's the official demo ring. I forgot to add to the letter that I supplied with the wire that the wire is directional, so watch out for that. Other than that, let it begin!

Like the title says. I'm ready to buy my next set of subs and had my heart set on 1 zcon 15. But for the same price as 1 zcon, I can get 4 Re audio se 15's in a nice box still under warrenty. I have the power for them and the room. So what do u all think??

I have a 03 Re Audio SE motor. I plan to use this as a learning experiance. I am in contact with Nick@fi about getting parts to build it into a 15. Anyway, I was wondering how people go about cleaning the CA off the top plate? I tried scraping it but that got me nowhere especially with the magnetic field pulling on it. Is there anything that breaks down CA glue that won't harm the motor? Also I cleaned the gap with sticky notes and a skinny wooden rule with masking tape on it. Is there any other ways I don't know about for future refference? The gap is clean and taped up now but it was a PIA. The SE was a 10 previously and suffered from coil rub. And it had shavin…

So after randomly selecting units and testing them (after a good burn-in period) here are the published specs for the new IXL-18.4. You may find them better than the original(s). Even I am pleasantly surprised: IXL-18.4 Thiele-Small parameters: Fs = 17.7 Hz Re = 3.4 ohms[dc] Le = 6.09 mH Qt = 0.37 Qes = 0.39 Qms = 5.59 Mms = 434.34 grams Rms = 8.69 kg/s Cms = 0.184 mm/N Vas = 274.1 liters Sd= 1029.22 cm^2 Bl = 20.51 Tm Lp(2.83V/1m) = 91.60 dB If I have enough time this weekend, I'll do some testing and post some graphs. Best, Mark EDIT: Le has been changed to a more accurate number. This measurement was taken using a 100Hz test frequency.
