Subwoofers / Speakers

does anyone know if focal components are good?

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

anybody know the specs for sealed/ported box for an AQ SD2.515? (15") i cant seem to find it on their website... thanks

well, heres the deal, i am wanting to grab some IXL or MJ 18's for my SBN build with around 500 RMS to each before impedance rise. everywhere i look is sold out! any chance you got some mark?

I had my old 4th order BP lying around in my basement so I decided to take it apart and modify a few things. I've made the sealed chamber smaller and I'm going to add more port area to the ported chamber. It will be a slot port facing up along the backglass, 5"x26." Sealed chamber is 1.5 cubes and ported is around 8. Tunage is 45 hz. And yes, it will wang The enclosure looks pretty rough because of wear and tear of taking it in and out of my Jeep but the inside of it is where I sanded down the fiberglass resin. I'll probably just sand the outside and use black spray paint on it. haha. Yeah, the cutouts are off center just a tad Hello big ported chamber All i…

Picked up a dual behind the seat truck box for $50 for my crewcab f250. its made for 2 10's with (so they say) 5.25 mounting depth and .75 cubes per side. The amp ill be using is a t5002 putting out 900-1000w @ 2ohm bridged. I looking at the SE SR10d2's they have a 5.25 MD and say they work in small enclosures and the ID10v3's with the 5.25 as well. When the box gets here and if I can mod it to fit something deeper maybe 5.75" so the IDQ10v3's or maybe step up to SR12's or the IDQ12v3's might be an option. both say they will work in that small of an enclosure but im looking for real world opinions. (also can always add polyfill, probably will anyways) so basicly How do th…

Hey you old school kicker people. Anyone have these old Kicker R6 Resolution components ? Id really love to have a set of them !

what can i fudgein do to get the screws that hold the basket to the motor loose? i cant get them to budge btw its a FI BL

Alright, I have narrowed down my decision to three choices and I need help deciding which one to go with. The three possible choices i have come up with are, 2x 12" DC Level 3s 1x 15" DC Level 4 or 1x Fi Bl I will be using a Audioque 1200d for my amp with a stock alt and a extra battery in back. The boxes will all be tuned in between 32-34 hz built to specs given by the manufactures. I have heard great things about all these subs and I am stuck on which to choose. I am mainly looking for a loud but still clean sounding set up to play mainly rap/hip-hop music. I would like to hear any reasons you may have for which set up to choose. Thanks.

I have it hooked up, well I took it out of the car. I tried it on 2 different amps, one I KNOW is working at 1 ohm (hifonics 1200d) and my sub woudln't play. The Hifonics would immediately go into protect mode when the music started to hit the bass. The DMM says .7 ohm, maybe something is messed up. Here is how I have it wired: (it was originally this) But now come to think of it, I might have mixed it up, with the 1st postive and 2nd negative connecting to the positive output on the box. and then the 1st negative and 2nd positive connecting to the negative output on the box. I Don't know if thats what I did, but would either of the ways those were wired, do that to the…

Here are a few vids of my lv4xl10 in 1.7@36 on a saz1500. My camera doesn't pick up hardly any of the flex but I've had a few people on the other forums ask me to make some vids so here they are. Don't pay any attention to that RCA wire running across my seat. The one that was in there broke and I had this one lying around so I threw it in there temporarily.

Hey. I'm looking at getting 8 of the E8's powered by a Sundown SAZ-3000 in a ported box. What size should the box be I am installing them in a 96 cutlass trunk? Also is tuned to 32hz a good freq? Lastly, If i have the box built right and powered right, can I expect good SPL and SQ? I know nothing about these subs so help would be greatly appreciated! :clap:

Currently have 2 x 12" KFC-xw1225db in a 80 lt box tuned to 25 hz in a Custom VY commodore. I wanted to take away the box and turn in into an IB setup? Spec's for Sub are as follow... Z. 4+4 ohms Re. 3.1+3.1 Levc. 4.7 Sd. 0.0312 BL. 17.9 Vas. 113lt Mms. 126 ??

Kenwood Excelon KAC-X811D ( Im sure its set to 1 ohm ) The current setup was done by Autobarn and its no good!, will the IB setup work well or any idea's on a new box?. I spend a huge amount of money for this setup 3 yrs ago and n…

hey does anybody know where to get baskets, motors, cones, and coils? i know there are companies over seas that are cheap. does anybody know of a place i can order stuff?

I'm starting to plan out my next setup and am a little stuck on what to choose. To start off, which ever I choose will be walled at the B-pillars of my 03 Ford Expedition XLT. I will most likely tune to between 30Hz and 32Hz. I have 2 SAZ-3000's at the moment, but will pick some more up down the road. So I'm looking for your opinions on which subs to go with. 4 Incriminator DP 21"s 4 DC LVL 5 18"s 4 Fi BTL 18"s I am looking to get really loud and pound out the lows. I'm not too worried about sq as I don't drive too much, just be half way musical, NOT something strictly for burps. I know it's all good equipment, just looking for some opinions. Thanks

Alright well I am about to put it in the box and I know I have to drill the surround so I can drill the screws in there. Should I remove that sticker on the bottom of the sub? And are there any specific ways to drill it? Is there anything else I should do when putting it in the box?

so im hoping this is the dumbest question i ever ask on here, but if i was to get a set of component speakers would i need to use a new amp or what ive always been confused by components please help

Possible about to purchase a pair in a day or two, curious about what would be a optimal box recommendation and tune for these subs? Just looking for a loud, daily, no comps, just something that sounds good on music. Thanks guys.

Im getting 2 Pioneer Premier TS-W3001 subs. Trying to figure out if I need to get the Dual 2 or Dual 4 version if I use a Kenwood Excelon KAC-X1R amp and want to wire it for the full 1200 watts to each sub and in series or parallel? Also same question for a Cadence ZRS-6500D to get the 1200 watts to each sub?

So I have been trying to contact FI by e-mail since I can't find a number and I am getting no response. Are they just really busy?

im trying to find some new 4x6 speakers for the dash of my s-10. right now i have some memphis car audios but need something better any help?

hey guys been lurking for a while and have yet to post. been interested in mach five for a while but have never used there product. how do you guys think a mj18 in 3.5 net sealed with polyfill on about 5-600 watts will perform. car is a 95 s14

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.

Whats goin on guys, i'm going to be running 2 15's sealed and I can't make up my mind with all the quality runnin around these days. I am looking into: DC lvl 3 IA Lethal Injection SSA Icon RE SE FI Q I don't know how to read the t/s to see what would act best but I have ~5 cubes gross so I have enough room for them, just no clue what to run subwise. I want loud, and I want a good quality of sound. Oviously ported would be best but I want 2 15's, and i'm not against sealed so that's what i'm going with. Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys im just wondering are there any quad stacked magnet subs out there? Im just curious and im sure other people are too.
