Subwoofers / Speakers

i'm having a problem positioning my tweeter since my car is equipped with pillar airbags. My only options are in the sail panel, kicks or the dash itself. With the sail panel, my only apprehension is that when i open the door, the tweeters might get wet when it rains ( by the way, comps are RE XXX6.5's so the tweeter is pretty open ) If i put it in kicks, i might damage the tweeter since it has no grills The other option is the dash, but I'm wondering if this is advisable. I was thinking of putting it in a fiberglass pod enclosure, something like this Is it generally better to make the tweeter face upward or towards me or towards my rearview mirror ? I'm using an Alpine…

I am probably about to purchase a new 12" or pair of 12"s. What can you guys tell me about the si's and their ability to function well in sealed boxes? Thanks in advance!! Btw i've got an ed nine.1 for power and i currently have a single 12" IDMax, looking for more output without losing sq.

i just recieved a pair of 12" Fi Q's and i got a problem. i dont know whether to put them in a dual chambered or single chamber ported box? also i need to know what amp to get for them? is it better to get 1000W amp for each or a 2000W amp to power both? im also curious as to whether id need a capacitator and alternator for these bad boys??

DD post their excursions in "suspension". Does this mean the total distance the sub can travel as opposed to xmax which means the greatest travel in one direction? For example, their 9500 series has suspension of 80mm... it doesn't seem like this can be xmax.. so would the xmax be 40mm ??(half of the total distance traveled)

More Magnum 15's are estimated to arrive around the middle of June. Pre-orders are now being taken.

My cousin is telling me of some subs he is trying to get rid of. He dosent have any pictures of them but all he says is that they are competition subs and they have a red C on the cone. Now whether or not they are competition is totally speculation. But I just wanted to know which sub company uses a red "C" for their logo on subs? Thanks in advance ~MadroX

So i received my xcon just now... and i was checking it over and there are no mounting holes in the surround.. do i just drill out where the hole is in the frame? ( there are mounting holes in the basket and the gasket just not where the surround is)

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…

I bought a 2004 Dodge ram 2500 quadcab back in mid 2005, finally a few weeks ago it arrived in Norway.. not bad waiting 5-6months for your car? so now its' here and I'm happy. due to norwegian laws I have to pay a tax to use the backseats.. so can you say loads of room for subs? been surfing to and from trying misc sites and forums which subs to get, but all the norwegian ones are infected with dealers trying to push their stuff and nobody has ever testet anything it seems. after surfing around it still seems SI holds it own against JL and RE (forum rumours eh) now the hard part.. SI is even more mysterious than RE, at least SI has MSRP up, but where can you actually g…

ive tried 3 different ones so far and ive got 3 different results using the same dimensions. all i need is .89 cu ft

I would like to try and build a ported box for a 12" Kicker CompR but need some direction. I downloaded some apps and did some reading but I think it may have confused me even more. Does anyone have plans for a box design? Thanks for any help.

ok i think i have narrowed it down to a cmpx2, fi q, utopia, or a w6v2. keep in mind i have a 02 ram single cab w/ the center seat removed and im goin for SQ. i listen to mostly rock and rap but also reggae, classical and most everything else. if i have a choice, do i go w/ the smaller sub? lemme know ur opinion and y. plz tell me if u think other subs would be better for sq thx in advance

im trying for find a good budget setup my budgets about 100-200$ in the substage im aiming towards more of sq i have an hifonics 2400

Hey Guys I'md so exited I will be picking up my IP G37s 6mt on Wednesday and the first mod I want to do is add an amplified sub enclosure to add some bass to the Bose system. I am looking for clean sound with a good amount of kick for a budget while I save up for my full audio system upgrade. I have listed my 2 choices below with links any advice would be great. Rockford Fosgate R300-10 Rockford Fosgate R300-10 500W JL Audio Subwoofer + Realm Amplifier Bass Bundle 500W JL Audio 12" WX Sub + Realm A200.2 Amp + Kit + Subwoofer Box

ok im getting bored so i decide to look into getting a sub to play with i have a RF punch P3 right now its ok just wanna be able to say i have had experience with different woofers and right now that is the MAW-15 has anyone had any experience with this sub how is its performance and power handling

Planning on running two SA-15s probably off something like this http://www.sonicelec...-BK1300.1D.html in the back of a 2000 ford focus wagon. Would subs like these require an alternator upgrade or would they run fine off stock, and also if SA reccomends a 3.0-4.0 ft^3 @ 35hz ported box for one sa-15; around what size do you think two of these would require? And would a box that big fit in the back of a ford focus? Any help and suggestions on things I havent asked here are also appreciated !

I am wondering if this sub can come in either of these. I need to wire down to a 2 ohm load. Thanks for the help.

Right now am looking at using a pair of components up front and a pair of coaxial in the back (Ext. Cab Dodge Dakota). So my question is which setup would be best for sound quality: 1) Audioque AQG-6.5 Component Set and Focal Access 165 CA1 = $350.00 total 2) Focal 165 A1 Component Set and Focal Access 165 CA1 = $450 total 3) JL Audio TR650-CSi Component Set and JL Audio C2-650x = $400 total This is what i came up with, just need to know which set these would do the job. I also have the power to use any setup.

I also got a laugh at the funky pup dust caps... I was wondering if I order an IXL if I can get you to throw one of them on it.... LOL

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.

unless theres something better for under $150 link

I've posted elsewhere but am hoping for more input. I'm changing/adding subs on a budget and I have it narrowed down to a few, but would like people's opinions on them. Car is a 2013 Elantra sedan, factory HU, using a basic LOC for signal. Will run 1/0 power wire. Amp will be a Taramps, model dependent on sub(s). I'll be building an mdf enclosure, probably ported. I listen to a mix of rap/dubstep/alt rock. Just a daily SQ system. Based on my budget and space limitations, I can do 2-12s using a pair of Ampere 2.5RVE or D.C. Level 2, or I can do a single 12 using either a Skar VXF, FI XV3, SSA Gcon or SSA Icon. What I'm really after is, are there any signif…

these may be the subs i run when i get to the point i can afford them ... what would sound better ....at the most i have 25 cubes

I have a friend who is wanting to buy a new sub he was looking at one of these. I told him to look at some Fi's but couldn't talk him into it.

I am working on ordering some subwoofers for my new boat. I have limited areas and based on my rough measurements (I am going to go get more accurate ones as soon as the dealer has the boat inside) I should have about 2.7 cubic feet per sub before displacement (2 seperate boxes of different dimensions and I may have more like 3 cubes, but am working on the short side based on the measurements I have). I will be powering them with a Exile 2500.1 which puts out 2500 watts rms @ 1ohm (plan to run two dual 1 ohm subs so I can wire them to a 1 ohm load on the amp). I know the Q is 1000 watts RMS and the Xcon 1750. Will 1250 be enough for the Xcon? I have read such great th…
