Subwoofers / Speakers

I was wondering if some of you could compare/contrast these subs for me. I'm looking for SQ. I want to go with 12's, and I would probly go w/ 1 Fi Q if I were to take Fi's route. For the TREO's, Im thinking about the 2 12's in the hotbox. Any help? Thanks.

Well lads I went to strip a friends walled install on Saturday as he want it rebuilt. It was installed by a "professional" installer over here in Ireland. Now the problem lies with the SoloX 18 Kicker sub he had. Its the first generation Sub made by kicker, when being installed the installer dropped a hammer through the original dual 1 cone, so it had to be replaced. since the sub is in the car it has been smelly, like Kicker is, so the installer said he would replace the cone. Now on stripping the car I seen the Spagetti of wiring, will get pics of this off the owner tonight hopefully to show you, but basically one run of 0, stepped down to 4 gauge, into a distro block t…

would i be better off gettin 8 AUDIOPIPE TSAR10 10"s on one ap3000.1 at 2 ohms or should i get one aq hdc3 18-a on 2 ap3000.1s the ap3000.1s are rated for 2 ohm stable but i used to run one on .6 ohms daly on a solo x 18 so im sure it would be fine at a little over 1 ohm the audiopipes would be sealed and the 18 would be in a custom built aero port box.. which setup would be better for spl at the headrest thanks in advance

well im so incedibly bored that i want to design a ported box for a magnum 15 inch. who know i might even build it hehe. anyone got some recomendtions? im just looking for the best SQ flattest responce i can get from 20-80 herts. ALL FOR THE SQ! thanks

I am currently running 2 (400rms each) Sundown E-12s each in a 1.2 cubic foot ported box at 36hz. Powered by a Hifonics 1700.1 I recently found out that I could put a box in my back seat that will hold 2 15s. (R/T 300 series) thats 3.2 cubic feet per sub tuned at 32hz. Yes I understand 3.2 is just under the gross volume and does not account for the port. I also know it isn't the best box in the world but I can't afford much more right now and it is better than what I have. I have a convertible so I lose a lot of sound but I wanted to upgrade from the 12s to really just have more cone area and maybe a sub that will handle more power than the E series from sundown. I hav…

I'm in the final stages of planning out the system for my 97 Maxima. So far, I have 4 Sundown E8 woofers and a SAX-100.4 amp ordered to cover the midbass. Not purchased, but planned, is a SAZ-3000D running 2 Fi Q15's sealed. I want to run 2 of the E8's in the rear deck where the stock speakers are now and the other 2 E8's in the stock speaker locations in the front doors. The E8's will be powered by the 100.4 in a 4 channel 4ohm config so I can fade as needed for staging. That brings me to the topic of this post. I am left with trying to figure out what tweets and mids to go with. I was originally going install tweets in the stock locations which is at the top of th…

Well, i recently traded my MX for a mag d2 12" and i was wondering if it could take an saz 1500d daily with no problems? I also had a question about if one mag is gonna be enough. I had two mx's and they were too powerful, but it would be nice to have sime headroom sometime. I was just wonderin what you guys think. thanks

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?

so im looking at getting new mids and highs to compliment my MOJOs im putting in. im looking for very loud to keep up with the substage but also still great sq. im most likely going to be running either option on a Kicker 11ZX650.4(http://www.crutchfield.com/p_2061ZX6504/Kicker-11ZX650-4.html?tp=35782) 120x4 @ 4ohm. looking at either IA 6.5 and 6x9 coaxials or Alpine type R 6.5 and 6x9 coaxials. dont have any experience with either set and wanna see if someone can lead me in the right direction for my goals.

I've got a '94 single cab sonoma that all this is going in. This is my second stereo, last one got jacked. Amp: Crunch PowerZone 4-Channel Amplifier (PZi175.4). Sub: Dayton RSS265HF-4 10" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm 350w RMS. Tweets: Morel MDT-12 1-1/8" Neodymium Tweeter 80w Mids: Dayton Classic DC130-8 6" 50w Crossover: Dayton XO2W-3K 2-Way Crossover 3,000 Hz Box will be roughly 2 cubes ATLEAST. Still working on the design in a ported box. Opinions?

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

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

Does anybody have experience Customizing TRF Motors? Im looking to create a low end monster with pretty good sound . It will be a 18" woofer thats a daily driver. Are there any particular parts I should request as far as layers to the voice coil or a certain size spiders? Im probably going to go through PSI and have it built.

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

..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?)

To start off with, I have a 2000 Silverado ext.cab with RF 400.4 on mids/highs. Diamond Audio m361 components in the front doors and m341 components in the ream so I have quality mids/highs to hang with the subs I choose. I want to go with 2 12" subs in a 1.15cub ft box per sub(sealed). I will be running a RF BD1500.1 on the subs, at 13.8volts it puts out 1,627watts @ 2ohms. I was dead set on the IA Lethal Injection's, but I wanted to know what was everyone's impression of the FI Q. How does it compare to the LI in the air space I have and what are the pros and cons of each? I know the LI's come fully loaded, but you have to pay for the extras in the FI Q. I want s…

well the brahma started to sound funny so i pulled it...i figured the triple joint that i fixed came undone...but i guess i did a better job than i thought because the triple joint is fine...the spider came unglued from the frame! i plan on fixing it until i can afford a re-cone to a different size, but does anyone have any good tricks to align the coil so i can glue the spider back on? i figured i'll probably have to remove the dustcap and use shims to align the coil but i figured i'd ask.... anyone know where to get replacement dustcaps?

So after finding out I burned up one of my zv4 leads (probably because of clipping), I decided to throw my mayhem back in. Voltage was dropping to 14.0 from 14.9 max, so I knew something was wrong. Mayhem was working fine when I took it out a year ago when I got the zv4. They were ordered with D2 coils. How did this happen? I cant imagine it was from clipping as well.

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

Hello there, new member here. Luke from Athens/ Greece This is my Car setup in an IBIZA 06 1.4 Kicker CVR 15 07 4+4ohm dual voice 2x15inch Deck: Pioneer MP80, Optima BAT Red with 0 Gauge Impact reference, Front Speakers: Door Panel Beyma PH35+ 4 x Impact 8038s , SUBS:Kicker 2007 CVR 2x15" SEALED BOX ( 2X500rms ) , Monoblock: ESX 2000 Digital 2007 (1x1500rms @ 1ohm), Rockford P 8004 (4x100rms). Question: Anyone know if these KICKERS can play Louder in a PORT either: a) 1x15 with HUGE port box b) 2x15 with HUGEEE port box c) just sell em and get 1x15 a good brand with lots of watts running stable at 1ohm??? huge port box whats the best way to go as Sealed box doesnt do it …

I've posted elsewhere but am hoping for more input. I'm changing/adding subs on a budget and I have it narrowed down to a few, but would like people's opinions on them. Car is a 2013 Elantra sedan, factory HU, using a basic LOC for signal. Will run 1/0 power wire. Amp will be a Taramps, model dependent on sub(s). I'll be building an mdf enclosure, probably ported. I listen to a mix of rap/dubstep/alt rock. Just a daily SQ system. Based on my budget and space limitations, I can do 2-12s using a pair of Ampere 2.5RVE or D.C. Level 2, or I can do a single 12 using either a Skar VXF, FI XV3, SSA Gcon or SSA Icon. What I'm really after is, are there any signif…

hey would you guys mind if i posted my amp rack plans that i need a little bit of help on, i know ive been pushing the limits of stupid non sub related stuff lately so i wanted to ask first hehe

I have 300 watts x2 @ 4 Ohms. So power won't be a problem. But I wanted a three way setup because I really want to fill that MIDBASS category if possible.

I'm looking for suggestions on new mids for my 2010 silverado ext cab. I haven't done much to the truck yet just trying to decide on mids. The ill decide on power and tweeters. I like my music super loud. My setup in my car consists of 4 selenium st200s and 4 crescendo 6.5s off the factory amp. Lol and that sounds perfect to me. I'm trying to keep my budget as low as possible like 40 bucks a driver. I know I don't have enough details for you guys but bare with me and give me some suggestions! Thanks

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?
