Subwoofers / Speakers

Ok, so ive been pondering this for a while now. I want "HOLY SHIT TURN THAT DOWN BEFORE I DIE, I CANT BREATHE ITS SOOOO LOUD!!!!" kind of subs. So, i deciding between the Audioque HDC312's or the Fi BL 12's I want this reaction coming from my high school classmates who think there Dual 12" prefab piece of shits are loud Both will be powered accordingly by Sundown or Audioque and box will be built to specifications. Other Subs are welcome Not going over $300 for a 12 This is in a trailblazer

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!

ok fellaz, i finally got my car and i am about to start my build. (i will make a build log soon) a month or so back you guys helped me decide to go 2 way active and not components, so thats what i am getting ready to do. what i need help with is what to BUY!! time to shop lol i have a sax-100.4 for my amp for the setup. I now own a 2006 gmc envoy. i used crutchfield as my source to find out the size of my front stage speekers witch are 6-3/4". so i need help finding the right mid-bass and tweet. i have been looking at the mli-65 for my mid and no idea on the tweet yet i have no experience with any sets of tweets so any ideas will help! will the mli-65 give me a fitting i…

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

I decided to take pictures of my sub with the original claws. I am hoping to get this thing inverted here soon. Either way here they are for you all to enjoy.

I have lamented over speakers for several weeks now and must end the madness by making a decision.... I am opting to have a stealth install done in my 2005 LR3. I have a few questions regarding it and was hoping that I could draw upon your sage advice. I listen to everything, really, but probably lean a little bit more towards deep bass (i.e. Reggae, R&B, Rap). However, metal, classical, jazz etc. are listened to as well. I want mostly SQ but would like to have the SL there also as I do like them to bang (a' la two 15" MTX terminators... the memories, I miss that system). 1) The speaker(s) will be mounted in the left side panel of the rear cargo area. As a result, t…

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…

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?

what do you all think? i am building a seald box for a pair of mags. can i tune a sealed box? if so to what hz? also should i go with a bit of a larger box to accommidate the two drivers, instead of the recomended size? my amp for a pair of magnum d2's? tarantula 1600w mtx 1500w rocford fosgate 1500w any other suggestions on what amp i should get

Im going to replace the stockers in the womans jeep commander. shes got 6x9's front doors and 3.5 in dash and 6.5 rears. going to do minimum of 6x9's So im pretty set on Morels. im liking the pricing on the Maximos Maximo Any experience or reviews of these or this line up from Morel? or Morel co ax in general All speakers to be run off stock head unit, No amp for the time being maybe one later

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 …

Hey everyone. I came across this forum through caraudio.com and thought i would try to get some help here. Just like the title says...I have an AA Avalanche in that box right now with 1000 watts and it's just not loud enough. My budget is about 300 (cheaper the better). I have an eD nine.1 to power so i can give it 1200 clean watts at 1 ohm, and i would like to use the same box. I know it is tuned more for SQ but it is still a decent size. I was looking at the Fi BL, SI Mag, and TC-3000 (although that one cannot be wired to 1 ohm). The BL and Mag are really intriguing me after doing some research... (Also, where can i get Mags and how much? I can't seem to find that info …

Well, I finally blew this little sucker. Tough to believe, but this little $15 dollar driver actually sounded good and performed rather well in a minute .33cubes. I was intrigued by the design so I decided to tear it apart. Have a look. Motor removed. Can you believe this tiny thing is the driving force??!! Coil. It's a little burnt, but not much. It appears as if the winding has broken, but I can't tell for sure. All done.

do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDa2xrLq9lA

I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 and it come with the factory 7 Speakers. These speakers are 3 3.5in on the Dash (left, center, and right). I have 6.75 in the front doors and 4in in the rear deck. I am looking at a few different brands and was wondering if you could help me out. Even more so i am looking at possibly using 2 different brands. I am looking at a Focal Access 3 way component system and i would like to place all these components into the front door. Next i am looking at either MB Quart or Boston Accoustics to place in the front dash (the 3 3.5in speakers) and i will redo the rear deck with fiberglass work and i will replace the 4in speakers with probably some sort …

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.?

currently i have a Rockford Fosgate punch 501s amp and i want to find a 12 that will run great with that amp.. my amp specs are Bridged Into A 4-Ohm Load: 500 watts x 1 Per Channel Into A 2-Ohm Load: 250 watts x 2 Per Channel Into A 4-Ohm Load: 125 watts x 2 Any suggestions on a 12" that hits hard and clear?...i was looking at the decon 12" by ssa audio only problem is it only requiers 300wrms 4ohms or the sd-2 series by sundown 500wrms 4ohm but thats for shallower mounting depths and i want something that will slump... im open for any suggestions... i would be up for maybe a 15 if i have room for it. if their are better subs out their for my amp then those let me kno…

For everyone buying our new etreme subs, we had 3M develope a new adhesive that will handle 28 degrees more temp than the normal adhesives used by other companies. We actually spend almost $400.00 dollars a gallon for this glue. In the gift product box there is a break in period warning that states 40 hours. This is correct for the moving parts to relax but the recomended break in should be initally done in the first hour of the install. Play the syetem at 2/3 volume for 30 minutes to heat coil. shut system off and allow to cool completely. At this point the adhesive has been activated and set. the moving parts will still take some time but you can hammer the subs once th…

I was on ca.com and saw a set of these for sale and I want to get them. But one of the tweeters is blown. Can I order a new set of tweeters from madisound or somewhere and hook them up to the pioneers passive crossover? Or would it sound bad because the crossover isn't made for those tweeters? I can't go active with them because I only have a 2 channel Sundown but for the price the guys asking I wanted to give these a shot.

is there anything bad about using passive radiators? for the sound i am trying to get i think i either need to have a wall or open space for my subs (no trunk). i am not so much concerned with spl or sq i want my car to have a lot of impact and with the limited space that i have 4 15's wouldnt fit into my trunk with adequate airspace.

At the moment i have a Kicker l7 12" running on a saz-2000D and I'm thinking about upgrading. This Setup is in a 97 Ford taurus Wagon i have space about 40X21(possibly 34if i sacrifice the entire cargo area). My budget is about 250-400. I'm just looking for something to take full advantage of this amp Thanks for the help! EDIT: Suggestions on which way i should point the ports and box demensions and all are welcome too. I'll post pictures tomorrow to give you a better idea of what i have to work with. I mostly listen to hardcore with alot of lows during breakdowns and some rap too. Thanks again!

I got a 15" in my saab 9000. it sounds unreal. but my problem is, my saab broke down (needs a new head gasket = about $2000) so i got some time before i get a new car/get it fixed and am trying to find a way to either sell my 15 and get a 12 (or 2) or trade someone. If i were to sell it, what do you guys think would be a good price? i got it this summer and have been very nice to it. sounds great, but i like the sound of 12's a little better (the 15 is just a little bit to low for a lot of my stuff.) but for the stuff that is low enough, it sings. def wanna stay with si

Thank you for reading my post. I am a 20 year veteran of car audio system building, though my involvement has drastically decreased since becoming a Dad. It's time to install a system in my 2012 Scion xB. I have a Rockford Fosgate T1001-bdcp amp that does ~750 watts @4 ohms or ~1100 @ 2/1 ohms. Most importantly, I am an old school basshead who still listens to real bass music from the early 90s (Techmaster P.E.B., DJ Magic Mike, Bass Patrol, etc.). My bass CD collection is a source of pride for me. Anyway....I am looking for a single 12" or 15" woofer that will give me the 20-25 Hz notes that I crave. My maximum external dimensions are something like 22" wide, 17" …
