    have you ever thought about offering the mj's in diffrent sizes. its an incredibly priced 18 but not everyone has room for and 18. i think they would be great budget subs. they have decent power handling and xmax so it would be a great alternative to the over-hyped type r.

    I received 4 of these just before Christmas. I have been playing with enclosure volumes and let me tell you these speakers sound great!! I currenty have each of them in .0198 ft3 and they are working great! If anybody has any doubt about these drivers for the money, I don't think there is anything better out there (just my opinion). :clap:

    Hey guys. I've been thinking about this for a long time and it's been bugging me. Anyway, I have a 12" Fi Q in a 2.5 Cuft ported box after displacement tuned 32hz getting a solid 1000 watts and, first I have to say it's an amazing sub, but I've been thinking about replacing it with a 15" IXL. What I'm looking for is to keep the excellent sound quality my Q has which I think the IXL would do very well, but also I want to have the ability of getting much louder than my Q if one day I decide to turn it up or demo or something. What I was thinking of was if I got one, I would put it in a 4 Cuft ported box but I don't know if that is too big or not since the recommended size o…

Will be crossed over active 80-2100ish 4th order on the high pass to a Morel MDT-12 in the a-pillar. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=277-060 Amplifier is a sundown 4100D and will be fully active using Audiocontrol or zapco x-over eq setup. I was thinking of either the Vifa P21wo-20 or something similar. I absolutely love the smoothness of the Vifa midrangers, and would like an input if somebody has something maybe a little better application wise in mind. I don't know if I can sink a 8"er in the door yet but i'll be measuring here shortly to figure out…

    Hey guys, I'm new to these forums. Hopefully you are all enjoying your holidays. =) Anyways, I won't lie. I know little-to-nothing about car audio. I've been starting to pick some stuff up over the course of this past week, when I decided that I would like to start looking into subs/amps for my car. I own a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, and I currently have; Front Speakers - 4x6" JBL's (GTO6427) Click Rear Speakers - Energy 6x9" 3-Way's (ENC693X) Click Deck - Pioneer MP3 Deck w/ USB (DEH-P5000UB) Click I can't complain all that much about how things sound in my car, I really don't mind them. I'd just like to put some more power (specifically bass) into it now. When I first…

    I started a thread a couple weeks ago but I butchered my questioning so bad that I wasn't able to get the response I was looking for so I'm gonna try again. Anyway, what frequency is the foot pedal of the bass drum typically played at? If possible, I'm wanting my sub to maximize that frequency, as I love the short kicks in the back of my seat, and minimize the other frequencies of the long bass notes that, when played with too much volume, drown out my mids/highs. I have an RL-p12 in 1.35 cu ft sealed w/ a JBL 1200.1 (1200wrms). I'm willing to build a new box if need be. As of right now, I've lowered my LPF on my amp all the way and tried to play w/ my crappy 3 band eq…

And looking for an amp that will run @ .67ohms all day long, about 1500 watts RMS. If I run dual 4ohm coils (or single 2ohm), I'd need (2) amps to push them.

    I've got two IXL 18's, svc 4 ohm, I believe they're pre-ordered models but they've never seen power. My cat Sandwich decided to sleep on one of them the day after I got them in the mail and caved in a nice fresh dust cap. If I wanted to recone these to dual voice coils, either D2 if I decided to use one, or D4 if I want to use both (looking for a 1 ohm load) (the baskets have holes on the other side waiting more push terminals)... What options do I have when it comes to getting them re coned? Cost? Thanks in advance. * Power would most likely come from a Sundown 3k

    Suggestions? I'm not really sure what I want to do. I was thinking along the lines of one 1000w or better per coil if the price is right. Full wall or half wall, I'm not sure yet but it will not be a trunk car and that's for damn sure. I can get batteries and alts etc not worried about that part. I've been checking into custom fabricated drivers but I'm not sure this particular person can make a 4000w+ quad coil. No particular reason for the quad coils or four amps.. just have a thing for the number four. Its even and featured on the common dice..

    What would be the best enclosure for 2-12" IA Lethal Injections? What's the difference between ported and bandpass? I've seen the response curve of both. The bandpass seems to peak about 35hz and drop about 60hz peaks about 40hz and holds it. What is this telling me? Will the manual for the subs tell me the preferred box dimensions for these.

  25. Right now i am looking around at different subs for the new set-up. I have never owned nor heard any tc sounds based subs. found the axis's , but have limited knowledge about them. I'm looking at the 12" version. How good are they compared to others in their price range( approx. 300.00 shipped). Any drawbacks, etc. I have 1 SAZ-1500 and am getting a 2nd for power. As far as what I''m looking for is loud daily that sounds great. Tried a search on the forum here and get an IPS error. Just waying options right now. And thanks in advance. Toolmaker
