Subwoofers / Speakers

whats the best box to use ported or sealed? , how much of a difference is there?, what should it be tuned to? and what size? thanks also any one have a video of a mj-18 in action thanks again

My dad is looking for a good sub for the boat. It will be in a cutout in the inner hull in the cabin area, so it will need to perform well in IB. I'm not too sure of the amount of moisture it will be exposed to, and I'm not sure if any of the actual marine subs will perform in IB. Any suggestions?

where can I purchase this and how much will it be shipped to 91803. Im interested in purchasing 2 if its not ok to put out prices please pm me. Thanks

i set my amp to give my sub 1000w but the amp is 1200w do you guys think it can take 1200w in a sealed 2.6ft box without any problems?

Alright to start off I'm new here and I am in no way imposing the w7 to be the end all sub woofer. Well it seems like everyone around me is trying to run the mojo of the w7. I want to sound better and get louder than my uncle. He has a 12w7 ported at 2.25bubes at 32hz on a pdx1000.1 this in my opinion is loud enough. I plan on getting two 10' q's. I am unsure on what to power them with. Probably a sundown 1500d. I can put the subs in boxes about 1 cube net I am not sure on what to tune it to. But Do you think I will be able to out slam his setup?

I'm running my 2 12 Dcons to one ohm on a Audiopipe 15001D. Me and my friend were setting the gain up on the amp and one speaker would have a slight hum to it.. You would have to put your ear right up to it to hear it though. The other sounded fine. I'm wondering exactly what it might be. What exactly should I listen for when setting my gain?? I don't want to blow my speakers, so I'm wondering exactly what to listen for. Thanks guys!

while still waitin on this sub, can i get some recommendations to the best speakers out there, Money is not an issue because i will be doing research ontop of what i hear from the posts. Thanks FoR all those Who Help!

..iam interested into Kicker solo-baric L7 15" ...i will be usin a 1800Wrms amp ..and i thought.. a 5cube box at 36Hz.. ...what do u guys think about this SUB ...(can it handle 1500W,whats with the build quality and this is not SQ sub-right?)

I am wondering if I could power a pair at 4 ohms 1500 watts rms, I know the BM's rms is only 400 watts rms, but I am just wondering if this is at all possible if I am carefull with the gain and volume?

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

can you starp 3 audioque 2200d amps togeather to 2 12inch fi btl 12s fully loaded and if so what ohm load would if have to drop to

I have a box desighned for two 12 dcons could two12 skars work in same box? dcons not decons

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.

I know alot of you preach how worthless rear speakers are, I can understand if were talking about rear doors or something...my rear speakers are 6 x 9's mounted in the rear deck lid. Just playing around with my stock system its clear as day those speakers are back there and I'm going to replace them with after market speakers. The front stage will be a set of Rockford fosgate 6.5 components (T1652-S) using the passive crossovers it comes with. So... to keep with the fosgate theme for my speakers I see there is 2 different sets of power series 6x9's fosgate makes. 2 way and 3 way.. I understand what that means as far as how they operate but I'm not sure which one will be b…

I'm trying to decide If I should go with one SAZ-4500D or two 3500D's to power (2) 18" FI BTL's fully loaded. I had my mind pretty set on the saz-4500D, but Ive read that plenty of guys are running the fully loaded btl's way over 3k each so I dont think that the saz-4500D could get the most out of the two btl's running at normal volts of 12.8-14.5 So what amp do you guys think i should go with or whats the better idea? Thanks, Mike P.

Did anyone go to the auction? Did Thilo zap up the whole thing?

ok so here's the deal i bought a treo ssx motor and 18 inch backet. it's blown. has anyone reconed an ssx with a different cone?? i'm looking into tc sounds cone right now (i already have it sourced and kind of priced, just need to measure and make sure it will fit) can anyone help me out? oh and the reason i don't want to send it to treo is it will cost $188 for them to do it plus shipping to them, and it's not exactly a light sub if you know what i mean

kinda a general question but what is a good sub to run off 400-500 wts rms. want decent sq. i will put it in sealed or ported which ever works best. budget no more than $250

going in sealed box for daily bumpage, looking for a mix of sq and spl. the amp is an MA audio m1889i rated at 800 rms at 2 ohms. I can get the subs for similar prices. which would you choose and why?

I've been searching all over here and CA.com for vented box specs for my Mag. I've tried using the box calculator at subwoofertools.com and I keep coming up with ~73in^3 of port area. From reading around it seems like I should be closer to the low-mid 60s. Am I correct or should I just stick with the plans swt.com is giving me?

my friend is wanting a new system he has a zx750.1 and wants 2 12s to go on it without breaking the bank he has about 200 dollar limit for both subs. i was just see your guys opinion on it i was think 2 cvrs for 220 brand new but tell me what you guys think he wants it to be really loud. the subs he had are 2 comp 12s, l5 12 and 15, alpine type r 15, rockford punch 12, 2 10 cvrs

Ok so i blew 2 alpine type r 12s dual 4 ohm ran at one ohm to a sae-1200d and now i am looking to replace them.... i have a 2002 grand prix and am looking into buying a 15... i was thinking a night shade or incriminator audio... maybe an xcon... i am looking for as loud as a woofer as poss. i have bout 500 dollors to work with... any sugestions are always welcomed

Well, the issue I am having is that I am running the component set off of a Sundown SAX 100.2 2-channel amplifier which is rated at 100watts x 2 channels @ 4-ohms. The issue I am having is that I have the gains on this amplifier set at 1/3 of the way, the volume on the HU is at 26/35(roughly around 75%), volume offset at +3db's, and the EQ settings on a preset setting. No loudness on the Ipod EQ or the HU EQ. So I decided since I must be exceeding the tweeter's power handling that the amplifier must be outputting atleast over 20 AC Volts(= 100watts at 4-Ohm). So I took a DMM down to amplifier speaker outputs and decided to see how much voltage was being sent to the compon…

Working on redoing my previous setup to adjust it for my new car. My previous car was a mustang and i had the setup in the trunk on about 1400w at 1ohm. Sub is a 12" ICON in a sealed enclosure. For the new car, its a hatchback so it should be louder anyways. The alternator/battery isn't as strong as the mustang's was and its not really something i'm looking to upgrade right now. On the mustang I was running a cap which helped with the dimming (yea yea.. i know about caps, but it worked out for that setup). On this car, i'd like to do away with the cap. The thought is to run the amp (audioque 1200d) at 4ohm instead of 1ohm. It would drop the power down to 510w (…

which 15" fi sub will be best to run off me amp i have the cadence a7
