Subwoofers / Speakers

since we had some issues with the links the last go around.. here's the topic at CA.com... with working links http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173881 come out and hear em in person tomorrow in Shelby, NC Loyd L.

what are yall opinions on the Morel Dotech or Hybrid ovations? Hybrid: http://www.morelhifi.com/products/mob_2way_hybrid.html Dotech: http://www.morelhifi.com/products/mob_2way_dotech.html if i get the hybrids, ima gonna biamp them, that crossover is freakin nuts : http://www.morelhifi.com/products/mob_alig...ross_mx22e.html

I haven't been able to audition these, but I've narrowed my front components down to this. Will be running a Sundown Audio 1100.5 and may drive them actively. It'll be in a 2002 Trans Am using the door structure where the tweeters are mounted low but aimed toward your ears. I understand the Focal sound is very bright and detailed and can be a bit harsh/tiring. However, my car is a bit loud and am afraid the Morel's flatter, warmer sound will be lost/overpowered by my subwoofer package, though I do prefer that sort of sound in general outside of the car. In addition, the Morels seem to have a better midrange/woofer that plays in the 50-3000hz range with a 2250 crosso…

has anyone ever heard these midranges befor from morel. if so anyone give me a mini review or somehting pelase?

Ok a lil background, puttin together a system for my rsx and so far I've got 2 18" Xcons (putting them in separate sealed boxes because both won't fit in the car without folding the seats down) with either a crescendo 3500 our a used saz 3500. For the front I've got polk audio mm 6.5" components and for the back seats mm 5 and a quarter coax. For electrical I've got a mechman 270 alt and two xs batteries. My question is whether I should get a set of morel maximo 6's and a set of morel 5c's. I've seen a lot of people say good things about the morel's I'm just wondering if it would be worth it since I already have the polks. I would try both to see which ones I like and se…

Im going to replace the stockers in the womans jeep commander. shes got 6x9's front doors and 3.5 in dash and 6.5 rears. going to do minimum of 6x9's So im pretty set on Morels. im liking the pricing on the Maximos Maximo Any experience or reviews of these or this line up from Morel? or Morel co ax in general All speakers to be run off stock head unit, No amp for the time being maybe one later

What is the RMS for these 4inch tweeters. Site says 220 but just making sure if its rms.

as i said earlier i was gunna give a review of these corectly when i got a worthy amp. well i decided to swap them into by dads truck. still no crossover so i just eq'd the lowend out as i liked. and they were running free air. ill be making kickpannels soon so lowend should dramatically improve and it will be safer to try low end hehe. the amp was a 50x4 alpine so each morel was getting 50 watts i played a variation of soft/hard rock song. evanesence, van halen, trapt, nicklback, disturbed, stained. afyter messing with the 3 band eq( yes only 3 band) i thought holy **** ! they were so bright, so clear. not a hint of distortion. absolutley mind boggling. i was seriously d…

hey guys, the 15" mag will be coming before i know it and i haven't got anything to power it with. i dont mind running it at 1 or 4 ohm, i'm just looking for the best means of driving it for STRICTLY daily driving. money IS a concern but doesn't have to be a very big issue. i was originally looking at either the hifonics BX1500d or BX1000d, but have now realized that for a hundred bucks more, there is better. also, The JBL 1200.1 crossed my mind but was ruled out. I am running the stock alt and am going to do the BIG 3 fairly soon. now im looking into Phoenix Gold. The tantrum T1200.1 looks nice... but its so hard to decide. i want to get a 2 channel amp for my component…

I was just reading the thread discussing running DVC subs off one coil compared to both and there was also talk of sub woofer efficiency...That got me thinking, what is the most efficient driver available for mobile audio applications? Also why is efficiency generally so bad? Given technological progress with computers, phones, etc you would think there would be great leaps in sound and driver efficiency also? Have drivers made progress over the past 20 years?

i still have two new Sundown Audio SA-8v3 subs left over from a previous project. i would like to re-purpose them for my daily driver which is sq focused. can the SA-8 be musical ? if so, how do i accomplish this without switching them out for something different. Sundown website states sealed enclosures are not recommended. local dealer tells me that once you port the SA series, they become more spl oriented subs.

My sub choices consist of the following: FI SSD, Ascendant Arsenal, Treo TE or SSi, Incrminator Li. all are 10" Would like to know how each of these subs rate musically wise that can still get fairly loud when needed. Would like to use a small sealed box.

After doing some testing with a few different size subs and enclosures, I've decided that I need to go with a small enclosure. I don't want to go much larger than one cube. The box I have now is 1.21 cubic feet, and I that's about as large as I want to go (preferably smaller, though). So, I'm needing some suggestions for subs that work well in smaller enclosures but still get loud. Budget (for the sub) will be around $150, give or take. I'll have a custom box built, probably downfiring so I can throw stuff in the back and not worry about punching a hole in the sub. The amp I have does 300 @ 4 and 600 @ 2. This is a daily driver and I listen to just about everything.…

what 15" sub have the most potential im not looking for a high class spl sub or a one note wonder..i think im going to have a enclosure designed to have my subs firing into the cabin...im sorry for posting a thread similar to my last i just want to get all the info i can before i purchase my subs within the next week or so. since all these subs basically require the same size enclosure (3-4 cf) no need to post that, power will be no more that 1600/per. GOAL-loud as hell and able to take a beating daily and sound good doing it DC level 4XL FI BL (4"coil & Flatwind) Sundown Z SA-15

Whats the most valuable part of a subwoofer besides the magnet?

In case some of you haven't seen it, decided to post my video of the magnum d2 12's...they wang. Oh, yes...i sold them cause i am a complete dumbass...i hate myself...i want them back. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...magnum12.1a.wmv Box in video: 7.2 cubes net @54hz, 160 sq. in. of port! Two avionixx 1200.2 amplfiers. Oh, and yes...i did say 22hz in the video...and remember the tuning above! Few pics: Some of you may hav already seen this on caraudio.coma while ago...but figured i'd post it in the SI forum. peace NG

Simply, can you have too much motor force on a subwoofer driver? If it is application dependent, I am referring to applications where music is being played, and if that isn't specific enough, let's say C&S songs. Decaf, all that stuff. Just curious, thanks!

Does anybody know if the 302's crossover can stand up to being mounted in the door? They will not be exposed to water or whatnot, but will they survive the opening and closing of the door on a daily basis? Just kinda had a thought about how to install them.

I see a lot of people that's wanting to sell a pair of sundown x 10's. The thing is idk if I have enough mounting depth for them to fit in a wedge type enclosure for my truck. I know I have enough air space for them, but mounting depth is what kicking me in the a$$. How do you guys think they would work in a wedge style enclosure? Here are the dimensions of the area I have to play with... Front height-10.5" Rear height-8" Depth-17.5" Width-55"

I am wondering what the mounting depth of a 15D2 is? and also how much room behind it (between the magnet box) should you leave?thanks.

i have some dayton rs180's ( 7 in.) that i recently purchased. my car takes 6x8's up front and 6x9's in the rear. other then using a piece of wood to mount the speakers what other method could i use that will give me some clearance and also allow me to install the speakers so that they do not come in direct contact with the door. i have heard of adapters but i do not know if they will help me in my case. these are the speakers specs: Specifications: *Power handling: 60 watts RMS/90 watts max *VCdia: 1.5" *Le: .90 mH *Znom: 8 ohms *Re: 6.4 ohms *Frequency range: 40-2,200 Hz *Fs: 38 Hz *SPL: 87.6 dB 2.83V/1m *Vas: .88 cu. ft. *Qms: 2.00 *Qes: .47 *Qts: .38 *Xmax: 6 mm *Dime…

Here's a couple pictures of the moving assembly of a Magnum 12 (the coin is a quarter - I put it there just for a reference).

I was looking on your site, I see the mpyre comp set, but the links down. DO you still carry the 6.5 mpyre comp set. ANd if so what do they cost. Thanks, Joe. P

Any body ever heard this component set. I believe they were made by Adire before they went under. Not alot of reviews on the net about them.

what subs are ya working now? whats next to join the m5 line up. what will we get before xmass if any new items? have you ever thought of getting in to car amps? thanks
