Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys, I have a brother that I installed an mj18 with a buttkicker silent subwoofer amp for almost 2 years ago. It has been great for him but now he is ready to upgrade, currently since the mj18 is 4ohm the amp is running 4ohm. What I would like to do is keep the amp, and 3.6-3.8cf box and replace the mj18 with an ixl18, but I realize its a 2+2voicecoil config. So the buttkicker is 2ohm stable, but I have read that if an amp is 2ohm stable then it will be 1ohm stable as well is there any truth to this? Also the box is sealed, and I wondered how the ixl would do in the sealed box at 3.6cf. We really like the price point for what the ixl can do. The only other opti…

ive been curious about running one of these ib. i have 300rms at 4ohm available. im going to be upgrading to a 2way active front stage and im considering ib for some improved sq but i dont want to lose tomuch spl.... currently i have a 12" AA arsenal in 2.2 cubes tuned to ~30 hz seeing 600rms (my amp is 300rms at 4, 600 at 2 /= kenword excelon kac x10d). i still need to take some messurements to see if it will fit in the ski way. maybe ill have to find a 15 or two... if i was to sell my sub and amp i bet i could get about 300-350 for them or about 200-250 for the sub/box. what does a sub need to be run ib? ive read either lots of cone area or lots of xmax?

Hello everyone, 2 Weeks ago i received my eagerly awaited mj18m sub from mach5. Now I've been thinking about the box design for quite some time now and had initially decided to go with a sealed box because I don't want the sub to take up a lot of space. But after modeling the results with winisd I noticed that with a fairly small (115 liters) ported box tuned to 28 hz I get a much higher output obviously, but also a pretty good frequency curve. So now I'm contemplating if I should go with a small ported box instead of going sealed. But since the recommended ported enclosure for the mj18m is 142 liters I wonder if going that small is smart. I want the sub to sound as go…

Yeahh to me I got my MJ18ms installed in my wagon but I used to big of a drill bit to pre drill and now some of my screws backed out, and Now I have to Brace the Front part again but OMG Rashad was right they are some bad ARS subs I cant belive it only off 900Rms or so After I fix the flex ill be set

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:

Can i get custom coils made for it to be 2 ohms and have it setup to take 200 rms playing 80hz to 3k hz...... i take it that they can have custom cones and coils made like subs....

I have a set of old set of 5 1/4 mb quarts and would like to use the tweeter and crossover with mli65 but will the crossover be too high for the mli6.6? (will the crossover take too much mid/bass out?) what do you guys think?

hi, i am going to be install mli 65 in the rear of my truck and there is a hole for them so there are going to need to be in a small sealed or ported enslcure ( i havent decided) and these are the tweeters i am going to be using. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466 and i am wondering what is the recommend cubic feet for them for midrange ( up to around 3k hz but i would like as much midbass a possable.

if i remember right theses mids were designed more for IB than anything, like being used in the door rather than in a small kick panel? i had them for about a year till i recently got some hsk's. but anyway, mine are sitting around so im making some book shelf or small towers out of them for my friends new place. how big of an enclosure would suite it? or i could just port it then tune somewhere above the fs of the mid. if ported whats a general tuning? never built ported book shelfs so whats the deal?

Mark, I am looking to build a 2 way bookshelf for personal use and just for the hell of it. I want to use SB Acoustics SB29 Ring Dome Tweeter and was wondering how well you think the MLI would mate up with it. Anyway, any thoughts you have are appreciated.

Hi- I am going to add a little midbass to my ride (it doesn't really have any atm). I am going to buy 4 MLI-65 midbass woofers. I am going to make a sealed enclosure for all 4 for the rear deck. Any recommendations on how big this should be? Thanks.

are these $36.00 a piece or as a pair??? thanks Brian

Whats the recomended sealed enclosure for an mli-65 for HT use, how about ported? Id like to make some kind of towers using 3 or 4 of these and a large format tweet, any ideas on that? How much power do they like per mli-65 for HT use? Any suggestions about this idea.

I know when i previously asked about using the mli-65s for HT use, there was testing being done on them in different sized cabinets. I was wondering if any conclusions were made about the enclosures, or any crossovers or anything new for them?

Greets all. I am considering options for an impending install (my first) in my 2002 Nissan Sentra. My goal is a simple, yet good sounding front stage with simple and space saving low frequencies. Specifically, I'll be listening to a set of the $75 Cadence components up front and a yet to be determined sub system driven by a Cadence TXA6004 4-channel amp. Looking at the specs for the MLI-65, it would seem that they might work well in an infinite baffle alignment in the 6 1/2" holes on the back deck(parcel shelf?). I need all my trunk space for work and don't want to get into building a custom fiberglass enclosure. I am not looking for molar loosening bass, just some low …

Im curious to know if my MLI-65 mids will play well from 3khz and down (with a 18db slope) Im going to pair them up with Vifa D26NC05 Tweeters thanks

i was wondering what the word is on these from people who've actually used them. i am looking to use them as replacements for my M6 in the doors in a 3way setup so its used to play 100-315hz, maybe 80hz at the lowest. How well do they do as a true midbass driver compared to the M6, Tang Bands, Adire and other midbass drivers.

I blew one of my mids (Cadence CWM-6). I'm pretty strapped with cash, so I'm either looking at getting a set of the PG RSd comps or getting a pair of MLI-65's and run those with the current Cadence crossover and tweeter. Not sure how that butchered combo will work though, the Cadence rep I contacted wasn't willing to share crossover specs so I have no idea what they are. Also, the Cadence tweeters are very bright for silk domes and I heard the MLI-65's have great midbass but their upper midrange performance isn't very pronounced, so they may not do too well with a bright tweeter. Any opinions?

Ok, I'll put this out to those who are definitely not as technically challenged as I. I went garage-saling, and picked up a set of used Infinity Ref 6000cs's for $30. Have since tested them and work fine, just not enough base for me. I tried them in a small 1/3 cube homemade box to test them. Now, is it possible to just replace the Infinity Woofer with an MLI-65 and get much better base(sound quality and punch) with a cold swap ? There are really no "adjustments" that can be made on these crossovers except to go -3db's on the tweets. Just wondering...

i orderd a set of 2 mli's from SSA store for my front stage active setup. one of the mli's work great VERY loud n clear with my 100.4. the other mli works but it is very muffled. when i first installed it i only turned the HU up to about 15 just to get some sound from them and i noticed the one mli was muffled. i played with it a bit checked all the wires no cuts no issues. i am not sure how to test the speaker on a DMM? i might have just recived a bad speaker? what do you guys think? thanks!

I am interested in trying a pair but wasn't sure if I could use them in my rear deck as I would like to.. where would be a great place for them?

What is the extension for the MLI-65? Looking to possibly use these in my doors for a DIY comp set?

I am thinking about getting a couple of these and making my own component set...these are priced good and I like Mach5Audio. How efficient are these speakers??? Will they get loud on 50 watts??

Hi all, i heard about these drivers over at canadiancaraudio, well i have been reading and looking around the store and here question is is there a usable frequency hz number for these what are they being crossed over at, any impressions on their sound quality boom boom out go the lights !!!

They do a good job, but I gotta listen to them for longer tommorrow before I can say anything further, besides that the midbass on these things is GOOD
