Subwoofers / Speakers

Looks like this new awesome sub will actually be going into my girlfriends alero. The goal that I am trying to acomplish is to make everything hiddin from the trunk view. So the sub will fire into the cabin, as well as the port. I would like to seal the box from the trunk, and match the fabric from inside the trunk so you can't tell that she has anything in there. I want this sub to get reallllly loud, it needs to sound pretty good too.. but loud is good I am pretty good at building things... i have built a few sealed boxes that worked really well, but i have yet to experiment with a ported enclouser. The hifonics 1000D seems like the amp i am leaning towards, but i ha…

Is there a manual? if there is, someone could send it to me and i would courteously make it into a .pdf file, if it isn't already.

Just wondering what country these subwoofers are made in.

so I was looking at my MJ-18 and what do I find? a 2 1/2" rep in the basket! the ripped edge is painted so it happened before I got it my guess is that when they stamped the basket out that that's when it happened so I glued it shut pics in a LIL bit

i know this isn't really the sight for marine audio, but i got sooooo much help from the forums here about car audio. i recently put a 18" fi btl sub in my jeep. I have a brand new mb sports wakeboarding boat, and the stock system it has is weak! i want to replace the stock speakers, head unit, and put tower speakers, and at least 1 12" sub in the boat. i don't know anything about marine audio though, i need to know good brands out there, install tips, and pretty much everything there is to know about installing boat systems. so if any of you know a thing or two, or could point me in the right direction, it would be AWESOME!!! thanks!

which one did he send? This is a big bastard of a woofer.... build quality is top notch... shame I can't get a good pic of the coil... yet.. this should be a hard woofer to kill.... Loyd L.

Which would be better a 12" Mass Destruction Napalm or a 15" Kicker L7. I already have the L7 im just wondering. Theres someone on this forum who has 2 i might just try to get 1. All opinions appreciated. The mdn would be ran off the same amp as my L7 a kx1200.1.

This post goes along with the one I asked about in the Amplifier forum..... I've never heard of them, but the product looks beefy enough. And, for what my costs might be, I'm wondering if they would be worth taking a chance on dropping some coin on. Massive QC15 I'd really like to try THIS monster out...... SQX 15

Thought I would share this and get feedback: http://blog.sounddomain.com/gadget/2008/02...ive-audios.html Enjoy!

Whats up peeps? I own 2 Massive DMX series 15s & i need help bad!! They're not the stage 2 subs and i cant find any info on them anywhere. I do know that they are dual 2 ohm, they have an inverted black dust cap, rubber surround, and they weigh a ton. I was wanting to put these in my 96 suburban. I need to know what the power handling is and vented box specs. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

curious what pair of 15" sub woofers would thrive in a box that is about 7.5 cubes and tuned real low.....about 25hz..

On a possible pair of 12"s that could handle. Basically becaue i dont have space for 15's and i want volume maybe over sound quality so, basically i have looked at so far 12" juggernauts mmats re sx but i think they cant handle that much dc soundlab? deathpenatly's IA I mean Just wondering if people got suggestions

this may be in the wrong section so mods plz move it if needed ok. substage sounds absolutely amazing but i'm tired of turning the sub volume down so i can hear my frontstage. which is bose btw (ftl!). sooo.... time for an amp and some comps! i am getting around 1200 clean watts to my Q. what kind of power should i need up front to match or at least keep up with my sub? no real budget here... just because i have no idea what kind of money i will need to spend. once i figure out what power i should need, then i will figure a budget lol... i can see the answers now... "its all in the application" or "i cant help you unless i hear the car" or whatever.... just humor m…

Would this work? I know the rms is only 250 rms. The box is tuned to 35 hz (slot ports) and is 2 cuft before displacement. I remember seeing a thread saying the MAW's could take a little more then their rms, but would 600 watts be pushing it? I found a guy selling a pair for $35 each , $87 total shipped to me. I have been wanting to get a pair of MAW's since M5 showed up on the forums, I think I am going to go ahead and buy them and just go easy on the gain. What say you guys, Mark, feel free to leave your expert input

I've researched both Maw 12 and the V-Max 12.x, but I still havent found a clear answer on which one has more SPL and good SQ. I'm also open to other subs in the same price bracket ($100ish) and fits my needs. It seems like once I find one I plan on buying, I find another more options to choose from. I'm building a ported box and buying the amp to match the sub I purchase... which brings me to my other question... ...can someone point me in the direction of an amp ($150ish) they recommend?

well, i am having trouble on deciding which maw to go with; 12 or 15. i am looking for LSQ. my setup is as follows: HU: Eclipse 5423 Comps: PG RSd65CS Amp: Kicker KX700.5 (140wx2 @ 4ohms, 400wx1 @ 2 ohms) i am working with the trunk of a mustang so space is limited. if i went with the maw 15, which i was planning on, it would have to go in a sealed enclosure with the sub facing upwards towards the rear deck (no rear fill, deadened) - which i read was not a great idea. if i went with the maw 12 i have room to go ported, but obviously loose cone area. i dont have any experience with either sub, so i figured you guys are the ones to help me out. it just seems that for nearly…

I am getting ready to build a box for my MAW15 and I have no idea where to go with a design. The space I have to work with is 48"w x 21" h x 20" d. I'm removing my back seat and building a sort of half wall for it (all below window line). Can anyone help me?

Would the 15 work ok in a smaller than 3.0 cu ft box? The price is very right, and i have heard the SQ rivals the IDQ, but i don't know if i want to fit that large of a box. That would be nearly double the size of my 1.6 ported 12RLP. So if i went sealed i could save some space, but would that be any louder than my ported RLP? Also, would i lose SQ to the RLP?

I want a sub to have loud bass but still sound good.(be heard a block away , hurt to turn it up loud ) Also are there any good pre fab enclosures for sale that are good ( i heard pre fabs suck) ? would you go ported or sealed? and i need an amp to push either the 12 or 15. budget on amp is around 100 new or used.

ok i am looking at a MAw 15 or a mj 18 i have a chevy silverado ext cab with the back seat out and i dont think room is much of an issue, so what im asking is for some info on each of these subs like comparisons in sq spl and deep bass, i can make the box either ported or sealed and could give either one the rms power thanks in advance

so i have my maw 15 in a sealed box 2.7cuft and was wanting to port it this is the largest box i can fit in my reg cab pickup does anyone no what size port to sue thanx in advance

i picked up a b-stock maw 15 off here with a cracked basket, got it today and the basket wasn't to bad so i decided i'll see if i can fix it. so i sanded the frame where it was cracked down to bare metal and layed some jb weld down, now all i can do is wait and see if i fixed it. here are some pics.

What should I do go ported or sealed? Also my rockford amp says 1017 RMS @ 1 ohm. how do u set the ohm. im a total newbe sorry. and my subs only 500W RMS

Hey I am just wondering what would be better for SQ and SPL.. 2 x Maw12 in 3.6 cubic foot tuned to 32-33hz OR 1 x Maw15 in 3.0 cubic foot tuned to 30hz 500 RMS to either the 1 maw15 or 2x maw 12, so power is the same for both. Anyone have a decent answer?

how much will it cost to get two of the maw 15's shipped to Wasilla Alaska 99654
