Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm a noob to building quality audio system looking for help. Found this guy's (hydrox88) video of his setup in the chevy crewcab and loved the sound I would like to upgrade my factory system and create a front stage that gets loud and sounds good on all notes. Listen to wide variety of music classic rock, 2000's rock, dubstep, rap, and a little country. Vehicle: 2006 F150 would like to use factory speaker locations however I will deaden doors and add mdf ring to help head unit: pioneer AVH-X4800BS already installed amp:? need suggestions speakers: would like to use evil 6.5's tweeters: LPG 26NA ? Processor: minidsp ? I assum…

My friend just got a 01 golf gti and wants a straight SPL sub. I told him just run a 12 since he wants to keep some space. What is a good all out SPL sub for daily loudness? His budget is $500. He doesn't care about sound. Also power will be off a 2k either dc or crescendo.

Hey guys, so I just got me a sundown zv5 15 and built a box for it. I was tight on space so i went with an aero ported box, its roughly in the 4.5 ft3 area after displacement and what not. I'm using a 8" sonotube tuned to 32hz. I figure the 8 would work well because it's slightly less port area than what is needed for a slot port. And I've read aero port don't need to be as much as a slot port. Anywho, the sub kills the lows! It's moving a lot of air. But on the higher frequency is just lacks. For example , young jeezy- put on, that first note out of that 4 notes really sucks. lol it's real quiet compared to the other 3 notes that follow it. I tried another p…

yes the motor is bigger than the cut out =]

I will be starting my box for my DCON 15 today at about 5ish...give or take. I will be uploading pics as I go. I hope it turns out as good as my last one for my xcon 18. Stay tuned.

hey guys..well i found a guy pretty close to me that has a 2512 d4 for sale and im wondering how much these usually go for? Because either this price is pretty low or im way off in guessing how much they go for..by the way..he said 100 bucks takes it.

for about 2 years now i have been running a set of ID ctx65cs components off a MB quart dsc4125 which does 125x4 @4ohms and 250x4 @ 2ohms, and i liked it, but i blew the drivers side mid coming home from work the other day, and i figure now is a good time to upgrade. what do you guys thing about this package deal?http://www.wooferset...r-speakers.aspxseeing as how i want to get some rear fill speakers anyway, seems like a good deal to me, any input on those components? im assuming that the rms rating that they have listed is just for the front component set that comes with it, because if you go to the component speakers themselveshttp://www.wooferset...t-speakers.aspx, it…

i have a 95 jimmy, with 2 cvr 15's and 1 sae 1200dv2. i am wanting 2 other choices for CHEAP spl, i will be buying another sae 1200dv2, db electrical 220a alt and couple kinetic batts, to TRY keep voltage around 14v to achieve around 1500rms each amp. and i also dont want my back seat to go down. the choices are, 4 AQ SDC2.5 12s -- 4 L5 solo-b 12's i know i gotta be careful with the barics, and they sound like , but i want loudest possible for best price. i want 4 12s. also either of the new setups (4 12s and extra amp) will definitely be louder than my cvr 15's right?

I would like some suggestions on a component set but have no plans to amp them. Please do not tell me its not that hard or just get a cheap speaker amp, I DO NOT WANT TO AMP THEM. I have absolutely no space for it. My sub stage is in my sig, I am not asking for a component set to keep up with it as I rarely have my sub full tilt. Right now I have a set of RE Audio Coax 6.5s, and well they just blow....pretty sure my stock 4x6s/tweeter were louder and sounded better. I already have a tweeter pod from the stock ones, only went to coax to tide me over because my 14 year old speakers gave out. Sooooo, what I have been look at are CDT Classics, IA component set, RSDs, Arc Audi…

Freaking massive!! 34"??? http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=102&idproduct=654

In the middle of building my system........ I have the pioneer avic-z130bt with Infinity Kappas for the dash and 4 Doors , I have the Kappa 4 Channel amp for the door speakers.. I also ordered Raam Audio; RAM matt and Ensolite to sound proof but cant make my mind up on which subs to get.. Im leaning more towards the Orion from what i have been reading as its more comparable to the JL W6... But would like some insight on what some people think on here The Orion is 500 RMS and the JL Is 300 RMS

It just arrived.

I'm looking into the IA 187, I know it can handle the lows well but how about higher frequencies? I'm looking for a sub that can handle midbass well since I listen to mostly rock music. I'm looking to hear from ppl who have personally heard the sub. Thanks

found over 15 reviews on these on sonic electronix, and they were all rated a 5 star. looking for members feedback on these. i did have my eyes on JBL gto series, but NVX looks worth trying.

Is this possible?

I found a website with premade speaker pods, how do you guys think they would work? Customspeakerpods.com

sooooo, here is what is going in my truck this weekend... 8 SI BM 12"s, 2 Sundown audio SAZ1500D's, and 2 SAX100.2's should be a purty fun install. pics and testing results will be posted up here after the weekend.

I was drinking my coffee at the local install shop when I noticed this 10" woofer install in a Ford F150 this is with out a shadow of a doubt the worst sub install I have EVER seen if you can top it show the pics...LOL..

hello everyone, im looking into getting some new subwoofer(s) i either want to get 2 12s or 1 15 i want to tune it around 38-41 hertz and my budget on subs not including amp is about 900 dollars so everyone throw in their opinion on what i should get!

What do you guys think about that? A good switch or should i stick with the BTL's? But either way im wanting to change my 12's to some 15's.. so its between the new BTL 15's or new lvl 5 15's

Went and met with the owner today at his shop......we bs'd around for awhile and took home a few subs! They have the AMH, KMH, and BD Series...I snatched 4 of the BD series 12's (Their biggest at the moment) Rated at a "conservative" 1,000rms .....from what i have heard they are VERY efficient subs! Only time will tell....me and owner are building a box for them within the next week....I'm likely gonna tune them to 33hz....maybe lower. Maybe i'll do a review and throw up some TL vids.... Anyway....on to some pics!

I have a 2002 pontiac bonneville, i have a FI BTL 18 right now, running of of an audiopipe aqx 3500. I ordered a ZCON 18 a few weeks ago and haven't built a box for it yet. The most i can get out of a box is around 6.5 cubes. Any idea which one will be better to go with? also, it's mainly for music thanks

So I was coming home from work yesterday and I was bumping at a decent volume. I started to smell something burning, but it wasn't coil. I took a reading of the coils from the amp today and wasn't getting the correct nominal. Took the sub out and read the coils from terminals. One coil wasn't reading out at all, and the other was reading like 12. Took the coil out and this is what I found: Recone was done in November or so. This sucks.. =[

I've been meaning to ask anyone on here if they can help me out with a noise problem with my speakers... It doesn't matter what speakers are hooked up to my amp, they start thumping rapidly when I have the engine off in my car and the key is in accessory. I turn up the volume from my head unit just to get some bass going and then when I reach a certain volume my speakers start thumping rapidly and it's not the music that's bumping because I'll play a slow song and then when I turn up the volume at a certain level where my speakers don't like it, they go crazy. When I'm driving around and play my music at that certain volume it's fine. It's only when the engine is off. I …

Has anyone heard the True Bass Solutions Ultra 10 subs? If so what are they comprable to.
