Subwoofers / Speakers

Goal is 139.9 BassRace in a '12 Grand Cherokee, biggest box I can fit is 5c/f tuned to 34hz for a 18"! Amp is Cactus 5k. Available motors are 1 DC lvl5 m1, 2 Sundown Zv4.rev1. Do I go 1 18" or 2 12"?

A while back I bought a cheap budget system used off one of my buddies friends for $150 bucks. It was an 12" Orion sub, Alpine amp, and a Obcon box. Sounds pretty good and hit fairly hard. So when I bought it, the seller stated it was a 200 watt rms sub running off the amp @ 2 ohms which produces 300 watts rms. He didn't know the model of the sub just the specs the local audio shop told him when he bought the package. Well I am in the process of installing 2 ssd 12" and a 1600 watt amp. So for fun while I am waiting to finish the box I decided to pull the sub from the temp setup just to laugh at the tiny magnet it should have. Based off what he told me and the dust cap I …

i have been looking for a component set and i was considering going with something from cdt. I have never heard these with my own ears, but i have heard or read a few good things about them online a while back. Or if there is something better i should consider please let me know i was looking at the CL-61A-25 PRO here is a link to them http://www.woofersetc.com/p4596/CL61A25-PRO--CDT-Audio-Classic-65"-2Way-Component-Speakers.htm what do yall think, and what amp should i look into to power them?

Hey everyone, I'm planning on starting my build on my wife's car throughout the summer and want to build a SQ system in her car.This is what I have to work with. I'm skilled in carpentry and know a bit a bout fiberglassing. I'll try and post some pics later to get a visual about the build. FRONT 3-4" front speakers deep into the windshiled (you know the kind) 6.5" door pod openings There is room for a tweet mount above the 6.5". Rear Door 6.5" door pod opening. I could also find a stealthy place for a tweet here also. Rear Deck 6x9" opening I was thinking of installing AA POLY's in the 6.5 openings in the front and rear doors. As far a tweeters, I'm open to suggestions. …

im getting one next week hopefully, and i have a box that was built for my 9512g... its 2^3ft @ 38hz with 35^2in of port....will it work well in that box and still retain decent sq?

I have a set of Bravox Audio CS60K components and i was wondering if anyone could recommend crossover points? Ive read that the supplied passives low-pass the mid 1000hz@6db and high-pass the tweet at 4200hz@19db. I'm using a 3sixty.2 and the slopes i have are 12 and 24db and powering the components with a T400-4, any recommendations are appreciated.

So once I get everything else EVER done to the car I would like to get some mags. I hear too many good things. I'd like to stick with 15s but they're so big, and my trunk is not. My question is how much air do they need behind them in a vented enclosure? I'm not sure how much i can squeeze out but it would probably be 4-5 cubes if i really try. I'd like to stick at that for a pair of 15s. Obviously thats right where i should be for 12s but...aren't 15s so much prettier . So will there be a huge decrease in my low end or output? Would it be enough to justify just using 12s? Whats the minimum volume ported you would use for two 15s?

pair of Mach 5 12's in 4.5 cuft, tuned to 33hz... in my car, 05 aveo hatchback. TL sensor was placed on the headrest, vehicle sealed up.. http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mach5installcb3.jpg we then tried the 2 loudest frequencies and turned the amp up until they stopped getting louder @ 35hz, the Mach 5's did a 138.2 with 1843 watts @ 40hz, the Mach 5's did a 137.3 with 1050 watts video of them @ 40hz http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/vladd...nt=S5000240.flv very loud woofers for the price... one thing I do need to mention... the coils on these drivers dcr pretty low... 2.3 ohm per coil... I'd call it a nominal dual 2 ohm driver myself.. at the very least a …

I was looking at the specs of both subs and they appear similar. I was wondering if these subs are in the same ballpark in terms of goals and design. This is for a daily groundpounder on 1500 watts in a ported box(1.2 cubes) tuned to 33hz and LP at 80hz with subsonic at 30hz/24db. Wondering what the pros and cons are and peoples opinions on which sub is louder and which is cleaner unless either sub is just better in both aspects for this type of set-up. Your opinions are highly valued and appriciated even from those who have no direct experience with both to compare. I listen to mainly house and trance music. Thanks

Here is a pic of two more of my 15" subs. This one was my old Kove Armageddon 15" with my old DD 9515. Can you guess which is which? LOL.

This Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...-W5102SPL?tab=B anyone ever seen these in action or know their potential personally? It's specs are questionable which makes me wonder how loud they can get. I know they were used in the comp vehicle which did over 180db but that means nothing to me. They could have done that with any other high powered sub i'm sure. Anyways, it says rated at 2,500wrms\6000w peak, only required to be in a 2.0 cuft ported enclosure but only 11.5mm xmax... I'm looking for loud daily but do not know if this is in the right category for my needs.

i am in the market to buy a whole new setup for my car. i have no knowledge of any good component systems and i really need to be pointed in the right direction. my car takes 5x7's in the front and 6x9's in the back. in the rear i will be using 6x9's but in the front i want to run something other then a 5x7. maybe a mid driver. i want to stay with a component in the front but can u match components with mids? or r they the same. i have been looking at boston acoustic for the speakers and maybe a sundown 100.4 to power them. maybe an mtx amp. i am willing to spend around 800 for the entire setup. any suggestions on other manufacturers?

I currently have a hifonics 1500.1 and a Fi bl 15. As I was listening to it today, the sub cut out and started to make a crackling noise. When I turned the volume down really low, the bass became normal again, but then I tried to turn the volume up a little it began to make the crackling noise again. Duly think I could have blown the coils? Could it be a rca problem? Could the wires in the box come loose? Any feedback is appreciated, thank you.

whats the normal temperature that a subwoofer have after playing some songs like for a pair of 10" AA Chaos, powered by a Rockford Fosgate t1500-1BD Wired at 1ohm

I was just wondering why my 15in xcon coils were reading 1.5 when there a dual 2. i checked the reading at the amp and it said it was at .7 ohms. also when playing music my ohm rise jumps all over the place. it goes from .7 to 6 or 7 ohms. my main concen is that i wanted to buy another dual 2 xcon and i dont want one reading 1.5 and the other 2. also if these xcons come as 1.5 then id be running at .38 ohms which i feel is way to low. systems build: 15 inch xcon in 3.2 cu box tuned to 30hz. sundown saz-1500, xs power d3100 any advice?

its some what shy of 4 ft. the box is currently tuned at 40hz, which i can lower if need be. I am looking for the loudest subwoofers. I am not too worried about SPL but i dont want it to sound like pure shit. I was thinking about l7s, but thought id ask to get others advice. thanks! btw, i need two and would like to stay under 500 but i can change my price a little higher......... edit, just realized i typed SPL when i meant SQ. its time for me to get sleep. lol

I know prefab boxes arent very good, but right now I dont have the time to make my own box. Do you have any suggestions for a good prefab box for the 15" Magnum. Thanks.

Thanks Nick! Glad to see you figured out how to use the email.

I'm looking at the RE SR subs for 600 watts and I may run a pair of the 10s. However I saw that the 12s only require 1.5 subs per sub tuned to 35 hz. Does that sound right? If it is correct what type of sound would that produce? Would it have good SQ and get loud?

I have been running these subs in a sealed enclosure now I want to try ported. I am trying to build an LSQ ported enclosure for my 12" HX2 DVC 4ohm subs. I have downloaded the manual and searched the forum history. It seems that they are missing some numbers. I was wondering did anyone have a complete listing. For ex. there isnt any Qes,Qms etc.. If anyone has done a nice LSQ set up for these subs I am would love to have suggestions. I was thinking of tuning it to the low 30's. This is going into a '97 Altima off a Viper 1200.1 H W D 17 38 13.5 (BottomD 18+TopD 9)=27/2=13.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 15.5 36.5 12 * 6789/1728= 3.9288 My plan was to…

Hey all, I'm new here, was wondering if i could get some friendly advice. Im lookin at getting my first system in a few weeks for my '01 taurus, and i cant decide whether to get the type r 12 or a fi q 15...i know it would be a big difference...but i dont know if the Q would be an overkill and more bass than i want, not to mention take up way more of my trunk ..i can get the Q from a guy on caraudio.com for 240 shipped...or the R for like 130 from sonicelectronix.com, should i spend the extra $110? would probably be giving either around 1000w..any advice/sugestions?

I've currently got a Brand X audio BA18. I believe it's from a build house in the states that makes a Moab is it. I'm from the uk by the way. It's currently in a 4.5cuft box tuned to 30Hz with about 60sqin of port area. Although small it does sound nice. Just wondering what you guys would do with it. I can get some T/S specs up in a bit when home. Thanks karl It's being run off a sundown 3500 @ 1ohm.

Hey guys, I need two 10" woofers for my boat. Replacing the old ones. Here are my requirements - Dual 2ohm or Single 4 ohm coils - Amp is providing 300w RMS per woofer. - Best bang for the buck I'm low on funds for this one. I can get Comp VR 10's for about $65 each. Are there any bargain's out there that I could look for? Can I do better than the Comp VR's?? I'm open for any brand, doesnt matter. I'd like to not spend much more than say $75-80 each. Suggestions please!

What do you guys use to recone subs? I'm reconing and Xcon 12 and not sure what use to center the coil. I think I saw someone use computer paper before. If so how many sheets of paper?

Ok heres the story, i have a 1994 grand prix. Right now ive got 2 infinity woofers @700 watts total power, and right now im the loudest system in my city (yeah not many of us are into car audio) but yesterday a kid from school walks up to me and tells me hes getting 2 audiobahn competition subs for $600 bucks each and hes going to run 1600 watts to it. Now i tried explaining to him that audiobahn flat out sucks but wouldnt listen to me. So for braggoing rights of course i have to get a louder system than that (my infinities are loud but not THAT loud). The big question is should i need just 1 15" D2 or should i go with 2? i am going for exreme spl here b.t.w.
