Subwoofers / Speakers

So, a friend of mine who I havent seen in some time recently told me that he is in an urgent need of cash so he is selling all his car stuff. I didnt see anything interesting. Then he told me about his subs. He has 2 12inch MMATS Dreadnauts in a custom made, ported box. Each sub retails for $500 (woofersetc.com) + the enclosure which he says cost him an extra $350. He told me (a week ago) he would give them to me for $600, I said no. Then recently, we talked about again. He ended up lowering the price down to $300. Now, when we reached that price I said to myself "let me ask in the forums to see if its a good idea". To me, Im guessing it would be an upgrade no matter what…

ok so ive came across a MMats juggernaut motor, i know they were more of a back in the day sub, but is it still worth buying and reconing? and what does it even compare to anymore

how much better is the mmats p2.5 vs the memphis m3's im lookin to buy some new 10's without changing enclosures and spending to much money.

hey guys, i have an 18 fi q right now, i was offered a trade for a 15" mmatts juggernaut. i have heard of them but i have never heard them. does nebody have an idea of what i should do? i like loud low bass. i have a 1600 watt hifonics monoblock, and can build whatever box i need to.

well when i got home last night this beaut was sittin on my front porch waiting for me. i wonder what it is hmm box i am building this weekend. 2.5 cubez @ 32hz

Wooo, just got paid today time to get the ball rollin on the 12 D2.. :ph34r: :boink:

Im looking for a new set of speakers since my current SB Acoustics are ruined by water damage from my current door panel. Im getting a new car soon and wanted to see if there were any pros or cons in swapping drivers. Currently I have no problems with my SB Acoustics SB17NRXC35-4. But if Im going to get another pair I minus well compare them to whats on the market now. I have narrowed it down between these three drivers: SSA Evil 6.5", Fi FN.7 or my current SB Acoustic Drivers. Any help in modeling as I dont know what to look for or what to do, would be greatly appreciated. Car doors will be treated as it should, tweeters are SB Acoustics SB29RDCN-COOO-4. Stil…

I have existing mid-bass speakers in my car's front doors and I want to reuse the space without modifying the doors. The existing speakers are 160mm units. I doubt I could modify my doors and have a result that looks acceptable. The MLI-65s will almost fit. The depth is tight but will work. The problem is that the mounting flange is too large for the door panel. If I use the MLI-65 I will need to cut 5mm off of one side of the speaker's mounting flange to provide enough clearance to mount the door panel. It looks like there is a bit more than 6mm of flange width where the mounting holes are drilled through the flange. Does anyone have any advice or experience to sha…

Hey Mark, I still haven't used my SPL-12s that you sold me about a year or more ago. Haha. I remember you mentioning something about the SPL-12s popping the dustcap off when they are pushed? You said drill holes in the dust cap, I can do that carefully, but is there a specific pattern or anything like that? I want to make it look neat, not look like somebody attacked my subs with a drill, haha. I'm not sure how far I'm going to push these, this is just for reference.

I know PA mofo's aren't all that. But guy at work has one supposedly barely used that I can get for 40 bucks til I can swing my Zcon. Think I should pick it up or just pass? It's a 12 BTW.

What would a 15" BTL compare to a 15" MOFO? both optimumly ported...

Anyone have any expierence with this subwoofer? I've got the T4's but I got this for a temporary setup. Single 12" MOJO on a Sundown 1500d at 1/4 gain and 0/4 bass boost. Played it bout half volume for about 20 minutes and then it started to have a small tapping noise, like a I blew a tinsel lead and it's slapping against the cone. I have yet to inspect it, out of the box, but I will do that later today. Anyone maybe remotely have an idea? I wasn't pushing it but 1/4 gain, lol... It sounds pretty good for a single 12". So far I'm not impressed though, with the tapping noise, but I am impressed with the loudness of it. It gets loud with almost no gain, and no bass boost. …

Well this wknd I got so pissed off... you know the type where you want to distroy the world. Anyway I through a remote(big TV remote) and the bastard thing smached into my sub busting the dustcap and slightly denting the top of the coil. Now Im going to try and fix it but need to know if i can use a domed dustcap where the previous one was inverted. will it change the sound/performance alot? was planning to use it for an SPL project as this budget sub gets louder then my BL and can take the abuse. It cant take a direct hit from a remote though. would appreciate your imput.

I currently have a 1974 dodge charger. it only has one speaker in the front. And some crapily installed rear 6x9's I'll be fixing later. But for now. I'm doing an install of a center console I've built with an aftermarket head unit. Not wanting to cut anything up. I'm going to stick with the one front speaker for right now. Then build something to house 2 smaller speakers displaying the sound out the hole for the one that was there before. But for now. I"m sticking with the one. So is there any way to hook both the left and right front speaker outs up to this one speaker? And if so. Would it sound good like this? both sound from the right channel and left channel would co…

I work at an electrical utility company and these go across 12700 volt feeder splices to carry over the ground. I just think tinsel leads every time i see em ...i know they are too big but it would be cool to see on a sub. though id share this with you.

Hey guys i have done some googling and looking around but i cant find a good enough answer to my question... Its it ok to invert subs when mounting them? The general feeling is due to the low frequencies it is ok but at what crossover level does the sub being inverted affect performance? I was thinking of mounting my IXL 10 inverted to protect the cone from occasional lose crap in the boot plus the motors look really sexy :clap: However i cant help thinking that the motor structure must effect the sound quality as the air wave is being impeded by the Basket Anyway if you guys could give input that would be great I was thinking something like this with 2 IXL 10's *This i…

Here is a pic of two more of my 15" subs. This one was my old Kove Armageddon 15" with my old DD 9515. Can you guess which is which? LOL.

So I have been in desire of adding more midbass to my set up. Currently I am using the Sundown CS6.5 set up from only. I feel that i am going to damage the 6.5 that came with this set if I do not pursue an alternative to help cover this midbass I am desireing. I will be sealing up a fiberglass enclosure on my doors. I have been looking at a a couple set ups and was hoping for some advise. I am looking for a midbass driver that will run around 50hz and up not sure where my upper cut off will end at this point. I have been looking at three speaker on is called a subwoofer and the others are called midbass drivers. well here is what I have looked at: 1.Sundown SD8 this w…

here are some of the pics i snapped over my break

Yes hello im new to this site but i find it very interesting and helpful luv it my question is if anyone can help me is this . I have 2 15 inch kicker l7 @4 ohms each sub has its own amp us amps md1d 750 watts @ 2 ohms im trying to find out if i can make the subs play at a lower ohm such as 1 ohm without hurting them or is there any other way to get the most out of them i have the amps strap together. Thanks for all the help mrcrown89

I currently have a zapco st-4x running active with ID xs28 tweeters and xs65 mids. I am contemplating getting a zapco st-2x to run the tweeters so I can bridge the 4ch with the mids. Would it be $100 well spent for the 2ch amp or would I be spinning my wheels? Trying to improve output and impact. It sounds awesome right now, just not quite loud enough.

So right now I have a hdc312 on a older nine.1 which is hopefully still around 1200rms... Inwas wondering if anyone knew if I would notice any output difference going to 2k like the sq2200 or maybe like a crescendo or something like that. This is all in a 350z.... O yeah electrical is Stock alt= 110 amp Agm bat up front Big 3 done. All sky high 1/0 wire. I do have a 4ch in the car as well.

So I found an Orion 2500D, and its getting shipped out tomorrow... hopefully I can't really decide what to go with for the build, getting the most DB's outa what space I have... So ask the expert time.... Its a jeep cherokee, this is the space I have to work with... 43.5" in between the wheel well, 25" deep to tailgate, and 20" to top of back seat... that nets almost 13 cubes, before sub disp., port, 2x the walls...ect. if I go to 24" high, it gets to 15.5 cubes.... but would like to stay as low as possible. I would like to do 2, 18"s if possible, but feel this might be choking them... of course, Fi audio of some kind, or even the Havocs...which is fi anyway right? th…

Curious again about subwoofer recommendations. Looking for the loudest and clearest out of the three but mostly leaning towards output. i have the option of using either a MTX 1501d or a Hifonics BXI2008 and subs can be in basically any size box. 2 Re Audio SX 12 2 SSA ICON 12 1 Fi BTL 18 Thank you in advance

sub porn baby!! i'm sure some already know about it...but for those who don't/didn't.. check it out....some cool subwooferage movement.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
