Subwoofers / Speakers

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 !

Hello this is my first post here. Ive been researching and looking at subs for a while trying to decide what sub to put in my 86 crown vic. Ive been pointed towards IA and have heard many good things about them thats why i am gonna go with the 187 15. I was gonna put it in a ported box. I have plenty of space for a box in my trunk I have looked and researched sub calculators and all that but still don't know how to determine the frequency and portsize or design. Im going for a mix of volume and sound quality. And would like to know how to pick the frequency, how to tune the box to that, and what portsize. My dad is a carpenter and i was gonna give him the demensions…

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?

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

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.

I have a 2010 silverado. I currently have 2 10" cvt in a Probox but I'm looking for something much louder and especially DEEPER. Looking for atleast 12s. I know a guy that makes custom boxes so i mighy be able to fit 13.5. Money is not a factor. also if you could link me to amps that push is great that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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…

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?

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 looking for a loud and clean pair of 6.5 components for between 200 and 300. Does anyone have any suggestions? I plan on throwing about 100 watts to them or more if they require.

I've been looking at the DC lvl 3 12'' subs but I'm not sure what I should get, I'm a complete noob to this stuff. I'm going to power the sub(s) with either a sundown SAZ-1500 or SAE-1200 Going in the trunk of my 02 mazda protege sedan. I like to listen to a lot of metal and rock music. I've heard sealed boxes are better for fast double bass, but I've also heard that a good ported box can handle double bass as well. Others say the bass will blend together in a ported box... what do you guys think? is the dc lvl 3 the best sub for my money?

In terms of loudness, in a ported box tuned to 34 Hz, which would be louder? Mach5 IXL 10 or RE SX 10"? I know the Mach5 is cheaper, and can fit in a tighter box but I hate that it comes in Dual 2 Ohm. I wish it were Dual 4's. I've seen a review here where the Mach5 SPL got metered and was fairly high with the RE MT. If there's someone here who has heard both(IXL 10" & RE SX 10") please answer.

Which model solo baric l7 is better, if there is even a difference? The one like this: Or this: Because the magnet is very different. EDIT: Don't think i shop at ikesound its just a picture. Thanks.

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 …

does anyone know if focal components are good?

a local shop has a brahma laying around never used except for caraudio.com mag testing and they want 4 bills for it...is it worth it? and what are your opinions on these. and they also carry USD audio. has anyone ever heard of/used these??

So for the ones who read my previous thread, unfortunately, the guy sold the 2 MMATS and Im left with my single 12 pioneer. I been looking for some time already to replace my sub. I came to the conclusion that Im better off going with 2 12s rather than a single 15 since I will have more cone area. The three options that catch my attention are IB3, X and DCON. Yes, Im on a budget. And that is $300 shipped, no more than that. (as thats was what I was originally gonna spend on the MMATS subwoofers that I was offered). IB3, the problem is that 2 12s would come out $340 + enclosure price. Also, I think IB3s are for home use right? I could probably go for 1 15, the thing is tha…

i'm building my new crx style box for my dd 9515 2-morrow. i wanna know what i should tune my spl port too.i have it designed for 50hz right now,but i wanna wait and get some peeps opinions on it 1st.i will be building a 36hz daily slip for the box also. i'm gonna call digital designs in the morning and see what they think. thanx guys. charles :thud:

I got 2 18" Level 4 XL's. I was in reno staying at the silver legacy having fun lol and I placed an order with rusty not only did he making them quickly for me he also went out of his way and delivered them to my hotel which was hella cool since I dont know reno to well. He also played his system for me which was crazy loud and sounded incredibly clean. DC subs FTW.. These are some sick ass subs I cant wait to install them.

12" Kicker CVX12D2 750W factory renewed or Power Acoustik MOFO-12 1200W(probably overrated) new for same price. Obvously Kickers are better subs, can factory renwewed be trusted for quality and longevity. Don't knnow why they say renewed and not refurbished, that kinda scares me.

would the icon 12 work well on 600 watts? gonna be powering it with a rsd600.1 box will be 2 cubes tuned to 32 hz

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

Aight so today i goto a new lil car audio shop. The guy is cool as hell until he starts tellin me that memphis audio is gods gift to car audio enthusiast, I mean he had a lil book wt adds and shit and i'm like yea. SO then he says that high school kids get 50% off sponsorships for putting a sticker on thier car, to bad i'm graduating in 12 days huh. SO i start in tellin him about my Sexxx and he's like yea u know most people like to go online and find that cheap stuff and i'm like ok they cost 220$ and so he says i should have bought a memphis for like 88bucks or somethin and could have been jsut as loud WTF yea right dude(thats what i wanted to say) but i was cool about…

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…
