Subwoofers / Speakers

ok so i have a ten inch re audio sx sub d2 and an usamps md1d at one ohm the amp will do 1200 watts just exactly how do i get it to do one ohm do i just wire the sub up differently cause in the manual for the sub it shows how to wire it up parrallel is that it or what?

I am going to buy 2 Power Acoustik MOFO-12 1200WRMS subs. Here are the specs: 3" BASV/Kapton hybrid 18A SPL: 90db Fs: 36.7 Hz VAS: .73 cu.ft. Qms: 5.34 Qes: .36 Qts: .3363 xmax: .7" I'm looking at a Sonic sub box 2BA12 3.0 cu.ft. 2-4"ports in each enclosure ( I assume 1.5cu.ft per enclosure) Does this sound like a good box for these subs? How do I use these specs to tune the amp ( Hifonics 950W@1ohm, sub dual 1ohm coils will be wired in series then paralleled)? Would a sealed box be better? If so, how many cu.ft.?

i want to get orion h2's, but i dont know what size/what amps/how many/etc.? i was talkin to denim about it and he said to talk to hccafan about it cause he knows alot about orion. i was thinkin either 3 12's or 2 15's but i dont need to give each sub 2000 watts rms, i was thinkin maybe 1000 each on the 3 12's or 1500-2000 on the 2 15's. thanks.

i dont know much about car audio but i have decided to buy a 18'' btl but i do not know what options to get i will never go to a competition i just want a street banger for the next 3 months i will be using an alpine v12 series 1000.1 rms at 2 ohms and will upgrade to a 2000.1 at 2 ohms i will be using this sub on a ported box every day so what options should i get?

tryin to see what 12s would u guys choose to run on a aq2200 @ 1? lookin to spend about $500. this is goin in a 03 impala and i got 5 cubes to play with. lookin mostly for SPL.

i need some tweeters for my explorer. as u know, not going for SQ, but i aint spending more than 20 a tweet either. what are some good tweets? anyone know what Tommy Mckinney runs in his 2 front doors (has 8 in each door) ?

So once I get everything else EVER done to the car I would like to get some mags. I hear too many good things. I'd like to stick with 15s but they're so big, and my trunk is not. My question is how much air do they need behind them in a vented enclosure? I'm not sure how much i can squeeze out but it would probably be 4-5 cubes if i really try. I'd like to stick at that for a pair of 15s. Obviously thats right where i should be for 12s but...aren't 15s so much prettier . So will there be a huge decrease in my low end or output? Would it be enough to justify just using 12s? Whats the minimum volume ported you would use for two 15s?

i'm having a problem positioning my tweeter since my car is equipped with pillar airbags. My only options are in the sail panel, kicks or the dash itself. With the sail panel, my only apprehension is that when i open the door, the tweeters might get wet when it rains ( by the way, comps are RE XXX6.5's so the tweeter is pretty open ) If i put it in kicks, i might damage the tweeter since it has no grills The other option is the dash, but I'm wondering if this is advisable. I was thinking of putting it in a fiberglass pod enclosure, something like this Is it generally better to make the tweeter face upward or towards me or towards my rearview mirror ? I'm using an Alpine…

Alright guys what's up! I need some help here. Right now I have a 97 BMW 318is with a 12'' Kicker CVR in a ported box a 800watt PPI PCX2200 amp. and a ghetto cheap cap from Fry's. Now I need some Components that'll fit just like factory. My local shop told me to go with Focals so that'll probably be what i run with unless i get enough people to tell me i can get something as good for cheaper haha. I was wondering if I could get a sub that'll rape 2 12'' cvr, cvx, jl w6v2. I want a single sub at 800rms that'll use a box that takes almost half my trunk. I do care about SQ. I've read that RE SE and SX are great subs. I wanted to see what else was out there. Oh and right now …

I have a sa8 in a 1.0cubic ft Ported box around 33-34hz the sub is 400 rms and I have a planet audio Tq1601d monoblock amp. I want to run it at 2 ohm but thats pushing 800rms. Do you guys think the sub can handle that power? I mean, gains down and careful tuning on my headunit the sub shouldn't be in danger right? At 4 ohms the amp pushes 500rms.

http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/Two_Mags_1500D.AVI I was testing a used amp going out to a customer and decided it would be fun to take a video. And yes... I beat on the Mags like that every time I test an amp

I plan on purchasing these soon (unless there is something better for the same price i should consider) and was wondering what a good amp would be to power these. Also, I guess i will ask. Would these sound good along with my 15" ICON? Thanks in advance, Alex

I'm leaning toward a Zcon 18. But , I have a few questions. First, would the z work in a fiberglass enclosure? I would like it to be an aesthetically pleasing enclosure as well as perform. Just want to make sure that beast won't destroy my box. Second, I listen to everything and was wondering if the z will keep up with all my music choices? Not really chasing numbers but, wouldn't mind doing well if I chose to enter a comp. It's going in a 91 dodge ramcharger. Will be powered by 2 planet audio ac5000.1d's ( 1600W rms each) strapped.

i was bored and made a vid of my jl 10w3....its being powered by my 600watt hometheater amp...the noise u hear in the background is the mic thats on my webcam trying to make the bass signals enjoy http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/JL/10w3.1.wmv 80

Hey Guys I'md so exited I will be picking up my IP G37s 6mt on Wednesday and the first mod I want to do is add an amplified sub enclosure to add some bass to the Bose system. I am looking for clean sound with a good amount of kick for a budget while I save up for my full audio system upgrade. I have listed my 2 choices below with links any advice would be great. Rockford Fosgate R300-10 Rockford Fosgate R300-10 500W JL Audio Subwoofer + Realm Amplifier Bass Bundle 500W JL Audio 12" WX Sub + Realm A200.2 Amp + Kit + Subwoofer Box

About to put three 10" L3 D2 in a truck. The amplifier is a RF T1500-1bdcp with a birth sheet of 1150x1 @ 4ohm 1734x1 @ 2ohm 1885x1 @ 1ohm The L3's show 400w RMS. My options are wiring them parallel or series parallel. Can these woofers handle the power if I run the amp at 1.3ohm? Or should I go with the 3 ohm load Thanks !

I recently bought a 2010 GMC Sierra Crew Cab My situation: Ive already installed an Alpine IVE-535HD DVD receiver, 2 sets of Kicker RS Components, a Kicker IX500.4 amp. I have a Sundown 1200 mono amp that has been installed also and will be building an enclosure and buying subs next weekend. My issue is I am torn on what config to go with... Option 1 - (2) Sundown SA-8's in a 1.5cf, front firing, side ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 30-32hz. Option 2 - (4) Infinity Reference 860w 8's in a front firing, front ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 32hz My main objective is to grab the lows into the mid 20's with authority. Has anyone had experience in a …

can some one help me tune my viper 1200.1d. i have it with a 15" D2 in about 2.2 ft^3 sealed(home made). i don't have a head unit (just plain stock) so i have a Navone N-7v line output converter. i mostly listen to rock. This is my very first install. i don't have the box capetted yet. soon i hope thanks Travis

I was given a pair of Earthquake DBXi-12D subwoofers...I found out when i tried to put them in my friends truck, that they are in fact blown. They are supposed to be 4 ohm DVC, but as you can tell from the pics below the VC's are damaged. My question is would it be worth it to look into a recone? These are the speakers in question. Thanks in advance for any input. Luis

so i just got my sundown saz1500d. in the coming weeks im going to rewire the car and grab a new sub(s). the ixl 15 looks like the best sub for the price out there, only problem is: i have about 14" of height to work with for my enclosure. however i have 36"w and 18-20"d. how would the ixl perform top firing side port in a 95 accord cpe trunk?

between these three subs... which would u do? two of these infinity's? these two alpines? these two diamonds? remember, these are going into my wife's car, now going to be pushed by this hifonics amp lemme know....btw due to price (staying under $300 shipped, her budget, not mine) these are the only choices unless u know of a pair of 10's brand new, either svc 2 ohm or dvc 4 ohm that can handle 375 wrms a piece, and will ship the pair for under $300...then those are my only choices.. btw, i'm starting to go infinity(love the look), diamond, then the alpine later.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey all.Im going to be getting a Blazer or something similar here in a few months.I was wondering if a 21" Incriminator Audio Warden would be better than 2 FI BTL 18" subs in the Blazer.I would power the sub or subs with a AQ2200.I will eventually get a bigger amp or a second AQ2200 but for the time being ill be using just the one AQ2200.I know this is probaly a real n00b question but I would like to know which would be the best before i go out and spend all the money.Thanks. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I would mainly listen to music and show off but I would like to get into some competions if I could HawkEye

Ok I am majorly confused about about how to do a good front stage. Just to give you an idea I am planning on getting a 18" BTL with the SD3000D in a 8 cubic foot box. I have boon looking at all kinds of speaker and I want to get a set of 6.5" components with 1" tweeters. I will probably go passive for now because it is easier and im not that SQ oriented. I mainly want something that will keep up with the sub. So what is all this 2-3-4 way stuff it has me so confused. What is better and why? Also I have 6x9's in the rear deck but I have heard rear fill sounds like chit with subs. So would it be good to get like a set of 8" or 10" midbass drivers to mount back there?

Stuck between the two. I like the e12a.22 option because of the displacement/$ value - it's adding another driver at under $200 vs. spending the $400+ for a new LMT. Leaves me with cash left over. But if there's something really special about the new SS offering that dual underhung drivers with 50+mm of Xmax combined can't touch...I'll fork over the cash. Just interested in your opinions. Supa, I know what you're going to say Figured I'd post on here because it'll stay up longer and I'll get more intelligent responses.

how many generations are thier and is the old stuff better? still use tc9 motor? how much are they new?
