  1. Started by 82Scottsdale,

    I am looking for a decent sq sub that also has spl that will work fine for a daily driver, prob is gonna be in a slot ported box made to specs by me. Doesn't matter how many watts its gonna be, I'm gonna buy the sub then buy a amp to match the sub, looking for 300-400 range for price. iI had some idea's like a BTL possibly? Not too sure with the higher end of subs because I use to run alpine, kickers, diamond audio, and jl audio and time to switch it up to the bad boys. Also another question what is a good hz for daily?

    One of my my Hertz HSK-165 tweeters came loose and I slammed it in the door... The housing cracked but it still plays. I was just wondering if there was anything I could replace it with that would work crossed at 3500 on a 12db slope? Replacement tweets are not an option. Don't need a lecture on buying authorized either. I bought these knowing there was no warranty.

    So I plan on taking advantage of the SAZ-1500D sale this month and I am going to need to decide which sub(s) to purchase as well. I'm looking for a little guidance in this respect. I own a trunk car so I'd like to keep the size of the box down if at all possible - I'm thinking under 3 cubes. So that probably leaves me with either one 12" ported, or 2 12" sealed. I guess I could do 1 15" sealed too. I listen to mostly rap, so SQ is of little concern, but I don't want it to sound like complete crap either, at least to me. I have been thinking of either a 12" BL or 2 12" SSDs. However, I'm definitely not firm with these choices. I'm looking for recommendations. Again, lookin…

    Hey I have done a lot of research and have heard that the soundsplinter RL-Ps are amazing for both sound quality and sheer power. I am looking for a setup that will bump and will be heard by people outside of the car, yet will still have good sq. I do not want it to bump so much so that my head is going to hurt after 10 minutes though. I was thinking possibly 2 12 Rl-Ps, but didnt know if those would be too loud for what I am looking for. Maybe even 1 15 Rl-P would work too. I would also like to know which type of box would work well with these subs? What type of amplifier would work well with these different setups? Again I want a system that can have some serious power …

    I'm looking for a high SQ set up for my next car. I'm not sure what the car will be but it's coming soon. I'm in the idea phase right now. I'm looking for ideas on speakers, preferably coaxial. I'm also looking for a new amp for the speakers. I mean I want to have eargasms every time I get in the car lol. Also, at some point I do want a sub, but like I said I'm focusing on sound quality. I don't want it to overpower the speakers, but compliment them. I really want it to hit the really low notes with enough ease as I don't have to have it up all the way where the higher end of the base spectrum is too powerful. I listen to pretty much everything, including jazz, but main…

    Sup guys just sittin here thinkin about what speaker setup I'll have in my sentra. Nothing too much or fancy but better than stock and budget-minded. It'll be coaxials and I've researched for some good budget speakers like pioneer kenwood massive audio planet audio etc. The other day I was at walmart and I checked out what they have for sale and I saw pioneers! 6"1/2 pioneer TS-g1643R's 180w max These were actually really nice looking (I asked to look at them) But the fact that it's from walmart sort of prevented me from buying.. I mean pioneer is pioneer right? Where it's sold doesn't really affect it's quality.. But out of curiosity would you have bought them and p…

    Would it be smart to attach some sort of gasket to make an airtight seal between the box and subwoofer? If so what would you use?

    So i'm trying to find a good component set for my 2004 explorer. The stock speakers are 6X8's. when it comes to components speakers, i don't really know much of anything. i need 2 sets, (4 speakers together) and my price range is near $150 a set. (perferablly lower, of course ) i was looking at the Infinity Kappa's 680.9's. anyone have any experience with these or other Kappa components? I got a 18" btl and a saz3000d, so i really need to get rid of the stock speakers. no rush though, i still have to buy an Iraggi Alternator and a Kinetik for the car before i start on components. (but they should come quick, im selling alot of stuff on craigslist) I'm looking mainl…

    As I was making some room in my Jeep to get ready for my big move, I took out the subs and noticed that one of them had the dustcap loose and shreds of paper were in the box! Thankfully, the cone didn't shred. The sub still functions but it looks awful. Oh well, part of the game I guess.

    well about a week ago my 15' mag started to play periodically. this has continued and every morning it turns on for about five seconds then turns off for a couple minutes then back on and so on throughout the day it will turn on and off periodically. nothing is wrong with the connections and i know it's not the sub or it wouldn't be playing. i assume it's something to do with the amp which is an audison srx 650 watt amp. is it clipping or what and do i need to return this amp to it's authorized dealer or what please help somebody.
