Subwoofers / Speakers

On behalf of the Mach 5 CEO, I would like to wish everyone a safe and merry Christmas. Thanks for coming together and sharing your input, experiences and audio wins. Warmest regards, Mark Rogowski

Merry Christmas to me indeed. I got a new Sundown Audio Sax-1200d amplifier, a new Skar Audio VVX-12 Subwoofer, a KnuConceptz 4ga mono amplifier kit, and a custom made 12" Ami-Creations ported subwoofer box for the trunk of my 2005 Honda Civic LX 4 dr. The box is about 1.95 CuFt after sub and port displacement, and the box is tuned to 32 hz. I am planning to run the SA 1200d at 2 ohms to my sub, which should give me right around 750 wRMS. I am extremely excited and am going to perform the install Monday, as i am off work all week for vacation. I have posted some pics below from this morning:

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!! The first 5 people to reply to this thread will get a free T-shirt shipped to them after Xmas. Happy holidays!

Hey guys, I was going to write you an email but I thought that everyone might want the info. Can I get the mesurements of the 12" Mag? Depth (still the same?) Cut out (11 1/8th I beleive) Magnet Diameter & lenth Basket Diameter & lenth Weight Thanks, Justin

Alright, I've got the itch, I can't live with crappy sound in the Miata. I'm not going to do anything about road noise but I'm going to add some deadening to the doors. The plan is to put a 7" tablet, a miniDSP and a PPI 900.4, and do a simple 2-way install, without a sub. Midbasses are going to be a set of Adire Extremis 6.8. I'm already using a set in the Jeep, they dig down deep enough for what kind of listening I want in the Miata. Plus it's a pity to let my extra pair collect dust. Tweeters vs Full-ranges...the car has narrow A-pillars, speakers should pair up with the Extremis (I've seen them used up to 1.6-2k in home audio) and shouldn't be over $150. Wha…

I really wana see some mags in action. ANY where in michigan is fine. With in 200 miles, i wana see them in action before i buy them im very indicisive with my money, if you live any where near TC michigan, which is up north on the lower p, let me know.

i currently have a pair of polk db 6.5 components. the 6.5s dont go low enough, they are running on a power bass XAX2160FD 100rmsx2 @ 4ohms. i have been thinking about using the tweeters and the xover and installing a pair of peerless 830946 woofers. im not sure where the xover is actually set. but would this work? or what would you guys reccomend? i have a 15" ssd on 1300rms in the back on my tundra access cab. these would go in the doors btw.

So I have been looking for a midbass driver for a long time now to add to my Diamond Hex comps. I would still like to get my hands on some SI 8" drivers (hopefully they haven't been abandoned). But for now I am getting in on the RE group buy and gonna try the XXX6.5". But it leads me to have to find good xover for them. ANyone got a suggestion? Anyone at SI wanna build one for me by chance???

I know people always say cone area is king but which setup will have the potential to be louder in a truck. Four sa 10's ported on 3500 watts or two zv.4 12's in a fourth order with about 3500 watts

I was wondering do any one know if the Crescendo PWX s come with grills and what are some other mid range speakers that are good that have them (i have kids)

Im goin to put some 8in woofers in my rear doors for midbass in my next build. Is IB or sealed better? it will be powered with 100 watts

I recently decided on CDT ES-07s as my midrange speakers but i was looking for suggestions on a beefy midbass. THe cdts lack much more midbass then my last speakers but the midrange sound is awesome. anyone played with morel or any diy speakers?

Hey everyone, I've been working on getting everything ready for my new set up. This will be going in a 01 blazer s10 extreme, it is my daily driver and will most likely not be doing competitions. Will put up pictures as I progress. What I have and want: HU - (OWN) - Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS PROCESSOR - (OWN) - miniDSP 4 x 10 hd. I was planning on getting the MS8 but I've heard it does not like trying to work with horns. Can I expect this from the miniDSP as well (I really hope someone with experience can chime in here) or will the DSP help my speakers shine? SUBSTAGE - (OWN) - 1 2010 Fi Q 18" d1, fully loaded (without high Qts) in a 8 ft^3 box tuned to 29 hz. (Best sounding …

I started a topic about this awhile back and started to get some input about midbass drivers, but that thread died. I listen to quite a bit of metal and need some real nice mid bass drivers...... no budget... 08 explorer 5x7 w/about 3.5 - 4in depth... ..i can do 8in drivers .... any help would be appreciated...

Hey guys. I've got a little 6.5 inch woofer that I am going to use a midbass driver. What kind of enclosure should I put it in? Sealed or ported and what size/tuning? Thanks guys. It will be run off of about 50~60 watts.

I'm interested in adding a pair of 6.5" midbass drivers to my kick panels. The 4x6's aren't cutting it in the midbass section. I like the mach 5 mli65's and Dayton DC160S's. I'm up to suggestions other than these two drivers. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, so I am making a LOUD daily pounder with a good possibility for competition. I keep reading stuff about adding midbass up front. At the moment I am planning on running 4 12's (either havocs or BLs) in the back off of about 6k watts total (probably 2 sundowns for amps). I am lookin at RF 5.25" comp sets for the doors (at least up front), more than likely an entire set per side, 1 speaker+tweet in the door and one in the A-pillar. Will I be needing midbass??? And if so, is it okay to put that in something like a kick panel instead of doing MAJOR refab work to the door?

I've got factories in the rear doors now, powered by a couple channels on my Crossfire VR404 (just wired it in when I did my fronts, just in case I'd upgrade in the future. easier all at one time). But I love the midbass kick, and I want more. Would it be ok to get some good midbass drivers and put back there? How high in frequency does it need to go before it gets directional? maybe 60 up to 250 hz or so ok? I also need some suggestions, probably 6.5". something that isn't any deeper than my JL XR 6.5's in front, but I'll have to look up their dimensions. I'm also thinking about ditching the ported box that my SI D2 is in, maybe try sealed. But I hate giving up t…

As the title reads: Can a pair of midbass speakers be used on a monoblock amp? I understand they would not be in stereo mode, but how much will/will not affect the 80/90 to 250hz range. Has anyone tried this or am I just pissin in the wind? Asking questions as I plan a new front stage to go with my plans for a wall setup. Thanks

Hello friends im in the mood to buy some midbass drivers soon, and would like some opinions, im looking for a 6.5" specifically, and in the future it will be run off of either a Sundown 100.4D or a CDT 4 ch amp, both are around 100-110 rms x4 @ 4 ohms, here are the (2) different midbass drivers im currently looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/2-CDT-Audio-M6-6-5-480-Watt-Max-Mid-Sub-Bass-Drivers-/120608723861?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item1c14d71395 and>>> http://cgi.ebay.com/CX64-V-2-IMAGE-DYNAMICS-6-5-4-OHM-MID-BASS-SPEAKERS-/120608722859?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item1c14d70fab Any opinions on the 2 would be much appreciated, BTW they will be going in the lower doors…

I'm going to be buying (4) 6.5 inch midbass drivers and I'm looking at either the Kicker SS6.5s or the Mach5 Audio 6.5 midbass. They will be actively crossed at 60hz up @24db and 200hz down @12db. They will be getting 75watts rms each and run free-air in the stock door locations of my '04 Dodge Durango. Any thoughts...other suggestions. Either way I go it will only cost me about $150 and that's the range I would like to stay around.

I'm looking for midbass speakers for an install. Processing: more than likely a minidsp Power: will be chosen once the midbass is picked out. Midrange speakers: TB W3 or W4, so I imagine 300-400 Hz is the LP for midbass Depth: 3", although I might can stretch it to 4". It's going ON the doors of a Mercedes W124, I'm unsure how much I can cut into the door and go back, so the shallower, the better. Overkill is the main goal here, that's how the owner does everything on the car The midbass will be attached to the door by means of a plywood "box" and vented in the door. High-ish output is desired and this had me thinking about a pair of 6.5-7" midbass / door. The …

So i have been looking around at some midbass woofers but i am not to sure what to look for. What i would like from my midbass is that it sound good between the rages of 60hz-300hz. the midbass woofer will be placed in the door, 2007 ford escape. I would like to keep it under 65 per woofer.

Considering running some 6.5 or 8" woofers for mid bass under the mid seats and the center console in my Burb. Was wondering if it was omni directional...
