Subwoofers / Speakers

I have lamented over speakers for several weeks now and must end the madness by making a decision.... I am opting to have a stealth install done in my 2005 LR3. I have a few questions regarding it and was hoping that I could draw upon your sage advice. I listen to everything, really, but probably lean a little bit more towards deep bass (i.e. Reggae, R&B, Rap). However, metal, classical, jazz etc. are listened to as well. I want mostly SQ but would like to have the SL there also as I do like them to bang (a' la two 15" MTX terminators... the memories, I miss that system). 1) The speaker(s) will be mounted in the left side panel of the rear cargo area. As a result, t…

Hey everyone. I came across this forum through caraudio.com and thought i would try to get some help here. Just like the title says...I have an AA Avalanche in that box right now with 1000 watts and it's just not loud enough. My budget is about 300 (cheaper the better). I have an eD nine.1 to power so i can give it 1200 clean watts at 1 ohm, and i would like to use the same box. I know it is tuned more for SQ but it is still a decent size. I was looking at the Fi BL, SI Mag, and TC-3000 (although that one cannot be wired to 1 ohm). The BL and Mag are really intriguing me after doing some research... (Also, where can i get Mags and how much? I can't seem to find that info …

im thinking about getting 2 maw-15's in my trunk the box will b 6 cu ft tuned to 30hz.. any clue on wat db's i'll hit with these installed running 600 watts at 2 ohms..

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

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?

i'm building my new crx style box for my dd 9515 2-morrow. i wanna know what i should tune my spl port too.i have it designed for 50hz right now,but i wanna wait and get some peeps opinions on it 1st.i will be building a 36hz daily slip for the box also. i'm gonna call digital designs in the morning and see what they think. thanx guys. charles :thud:

I am trying to put together a 1st system for my little brother. He just turned 16 and has a 95 ford ranger reg. cab. This is his first system and I wanna make it pound for him. For front stage he has 6.5 components powered off a 50 x 2 amp, pioneer head unit. He listens to most everything but mainly rap and heavy metal. I have a eclipse Xa 1000d 300 x 1 @ 4 ohm and 480 @ 2 ohms. SO here is my problem. 1. limited budget 150.00 for sub 2. limited space reg cab ford ranger 3. I would like max output while sounding decent I appreciate any and all suggestions Chad

I got a 15" in my saab 9000. it sounds unreal. but my problem is, my saab broke down (needs a new head gasket = about $2000) so i got some time before i get a new car/get it fixed and am trying to find a way to either sell my 15 and get a 12 (or 2) or trade someone. If i were to sell it, what do you guys think would be a good price? i got it this summer and have been very nice to it. sounds great, but i like the sound of 12's a little better (the 15 is just a little bit to low for a lot of my stuff.) but for the stuff that is low enough, it sings. def wanna stay with si

here we are again with more doubts in my mind about the amp I have in my single cab truck with the subs I want. Ive gottin it down to where Im torn between the Fi X 10's series and the Fi SSD 10's series. The X series is signifacntly cheaper but only has the BP power option on it, whereas the SSD has alot more capable. my budget is at $400 and I am getting a custom ported box designed accordingly that fit 2 10's. (yes I am possitive I can get enough proper cubic volume to match either of these subs behind my seat.) If I chose the SSD's, getting all of the available options to maximize its ability, it is out of my $400 range. so thats my predicament, get the BP power…

I would like to build a pair of homr bookshelf speakers using the Hybrid Clarus 6/5 set , But i cant find the dimensions of the drivers anywhere . For instance how much cubic ft is required for the woofers ... etc .. Do you think it would be a good idea ? plz help

Well, there's a lot of interest in the car audio world for the Mach 5 drivers, however, I'm looking at a home audio application. There have been a few instances of the drivers being used for HT, but I thought I'd start a thread where more discussion could be done for home audio and SQ(L) oriented installations. This summer, once I've acquired some money at my summer job, I'm thinking about buying 2 MAW-15s to put in my room to replace my 12" AA Assassin (that's if my parents let me...). Anyway, I've done some fiddling in WinISD, measuring spots in my room to put them, and some comparisons on what I like about my Assassin and what I don't. What I'm looking at right now is …

I really wana see some mags in action. ANY where in michigan is fine. With in 200 miles, i wana see them in action before i buy them im very indicisive with my money, if you live any where near TC michigan, which is up north on the lower p, let me know.

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.

Hello there, new member here. Luke from Athens/ Greece This is my Car setup in an IBIZA 06 1.4 Kicker CVR 15 07 4+4ohm dual voice 2x15inch Deck: Pioneer MP80, Optima BAT Red with 0 Gauge Impact reference, Front Speakers: Door Panel Beyma PH35+ 4 x Impact 8038s , SUBS:Kicker 2007 CVR 2x15" SEALED BOX ( 2X500rms ) , Monoblock: ESX 2000 Digital 2007 (1x1500rms @ 1ohm), Rockford P 8004 (4x100rms). Question: Anyone know if these KICKERS can play Louder in a PORT either: a) 1x15 with HUGE port box b) 2x15 with HUGEEE port box c) just sell em and get 1x15 a good brand with lots of watts running stable at 1ohm??? huge port box whats the best way to go as Sealed box doesnt do it …

So i was thinking, man do i really need the ProL1s? i need to replace my current L1 tweets (calling you about that tomo Scott) and i was looking online and saw a L1v2? Wow am I excited have to pick some up. They look absolutely litterly jaw-dropping jump out of my seat tell everyone i know look i what i'm getting! TWEETS! LOL. and looks like the rest of the legatia pro lineup is on its way?? wow you been hard at work Mr. Buwalda. just had to say thanks for all the excitement and i can't wait to get back in the garage and get this build finished for SBN 09'!!! nice work!! oh yeh, anyone have the opportunity to install these buggers and compare them to the old L1? sorry…

I would like to be pointed into the right direction for an accurate hitting sub. I want something around 300 dollars. And do you think the subs should stay around 500 rms so its not just some head beater bass. I am thinking about a 4th order ported box. I have a Boston Acoustic 10" in a .7 cubic ft sealed box. I am pushing 300 rms with an Alpine M500. Do you think I should just make a new box for better sound or just replace everything?

I keep on having notions to try the Havoc, Brahma and some other subs out there. I don't know why, just cause i like to try them. But those pre-order prices are so tempting. But my box is made for the Mag, but I don't want to use 1200rms on it!!!! AHHH the confusion.

i am looking at the Ascendant Audio Arsenal or 12D2 mag. i was reqamended the MAG and the Arsenal by another. i have a hifonics ZEUS 1000D 1000@1ohm, 750@2ohm 500@4ohm. i want to run it at 1ohm if i can. i know the mag is perfect for the amp but what about teh arsenal. SQ means sound quility but LSQ means??? sound quility loud?

well, as you know SSA is now a mach5 distributor. Right now i have 2 infinity perfect 12.1's. I was planning on doing these with a ported box, but the more i read, the more id like to try a mach 5 maw15. The maw would cost a little more, because i can probably only get about 80 or so for the pair of perfects. I have one sealed in my car now with 300 watts, but its not loud at all, and i would just be worried about the output. I know this is the mach5 forums and may be a little biased, but most\ of the mach 5 knowledge comes from here. So i ask you, keep the perfects and go ported with about 700-800 watts, or do one maw15 ported with about as much as it can handle? t…

Just put my 15D2 in, 3.8 cubes tuned to 30 hz. words simply cannot describe it. this sub is PERFECT. louder than my 4 ED 12K's, hits more accurately, just beats the cr*p out of you. I am simply amazed. Nick (and all others associated with this project), you have done an astounding job. I don't think I'll ever buy another sub again. Just threw it in facing backwards to test it out a bit and measure against my last setup. gonna go try it forwards now, like how I had planned to set it up.

I have a ram quad cab that they will be going in. I will be using the center console for the placement of the subs. Dim. that I have to work with are 26 long 17 high and 15.5 wide. Those dims or smaller but I have plenty of vol. for a wide range of subs. Subs will be in sealed enclosure. I'm wanting sq but with a little attitude. I'm using CDT ES 06 for mid bass in my doors and CDT ES 04 and tweets in kick panels. My amp that will be powering the subs is a US Amps old school 100 HC. Would like the amp to see 1 ohm so I can get full use of the amps power. Aprox. 1400 to 1600 watts at 1 ohm. Ok I listen to all kinds of music but mainly rock and metel with everythi…

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…

just making a final pick on subs for the back of a hatchback subs will be in a 2.5 3 cubic box ported and it will be a single 10 have about 800rms to play with at 4 ohms i mostly listen to rap.
