Subwoofers / Speakers

Im looking at both of these setups to be ran as a daily driver setup in my second car .... both can be had for about the same price and require the same power ... what do u guys think? both have good reveiws, work well in all types of setups ... im looking to put either one in a 4.5 cu ft box .. tuned to 32hz ... ish depending on what i wanna do with the application .. just looking for some input .. thanks guys

would the icon 12 work well on 600 watts? gonna be powering it with a rsd600.1 box will be 2 cubes tuned to 32 hz

I plan on purchasing these soon (unless there is something better for the same price i should consider) and was wondering what a good amp would be to power these. Also, I guess i will ask. Would these sound good along with my 15" ICON? Thanks in advance, Alex

So I've been running my RLp 15 for 7 years now with no problems. Thing still rocks. But I've grown tired of my current box and amp and would like to change things up a bit. Currently I'm running a sealed enclosure with the sub inverted along with a Directed 1500D. I'm looking at a new amp and another sealed enclosure but this time I'm going with a standard box with the sub installed with the basket inside. My question is this: Should I continue to run the sub at 1 ohms or should I wire it to run at 4 ohms? The reason I ask is back when I bought my sub I was chatting with Mike about my box design and amp and he told me I should really pair the sub up with a good 500-600 wa…

so i just got my sundown saz1500d. in the coming weeks im going to rewire the car and grab a new sub(s). the ixl 15 looks like the best sub for the price out there, only problem is: i have about 14" of height to work with for my enclosure. however i have 36"w and 18-20"d. how would the ixl perform top firing side port in a 95 accord cpe trunk?

just a desperate attempt at trying to find a 15D2 that someone won't be using. I got all excited cause someone PM'd me offering me a New one, but by the time I got home from work and replied it was sold. arrrgh.

Hey my friend is looking at JBL for a 15 inch woofer. Ive told him to shop around for what he wants and we would like to know if they are any good. Thanks

I'm looking for 6x8s to run off the factory head unit in my 2012 Escape XLT. Factory stereo, no nav, no sync. I read on another site that the Infinity Kappa speakers sound better than stock ones off of head unit power. To me the stock speakers sound good, but I'd like it louder and to have better bass response. I found the Kappas for 75$ a pair shipped, so 150$ for all four. So I'm looking for anything better than those within the same price range, or a confirmation of those being good. Could also run comps, if they could sound good of the hu. And on a side note, anyone know the output power of that hu? I'm guessing under 20 watts.

What is the MX for? Im assuming it's neither an SPL driver nor a SQ driver. Why is it so weak? My IB3s are more than 12Bl!

I was looking at getting a SS RLP 18 but I came across a good deal on one 15" REVO and would buy another. My question is are they good for a daily loud setup? I have done SPL subs in the past but want a low end monster now that is loud to the ear doesn't matter about a meter we don't have any compitions here anyway. Would they work good?

hey iv had my dcon 12 in a sealed box that is a little too small for it, and im now looking for a ported box that is big enough to get the job done. i want loudness. im trying to stay cheap as possible, limited on money. its in a 94 blazer pointed back right now. i found a ported box on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-0-FT-3-TUNED-32Hz-SLOT-VENTED-CUSTOM-MDF-BOX-ENCLOSURE-for-12-INCH-SUBWOOFER-/400334071728?pt=US_Speaker_Sub_Enclosures&hash=item5d35c527b0 how is that?

hello, just needs some inputs on the best possible tweeter + mid for $500 or less. also intallation will be pillars/dash @What music do i prefer? music would be all kinds, simply depends on my mood. rap, rock, lovesongs etc. @What sound do i prefer? something smooth, detailed, with an airy treble, something that you could hardly tell that theres a speaker when position properly. neutral to warm side of things. @Do i have a midwoofer? yes, i have already, but still thinking of a mid that can go down to 150-200hz

I'll be upgrading my system next summer but I'll buying the gear over the winter so come summer it will be build time. I need help pick out subs and some components speakers. As for what vehicle its going in, I'm not sure yet I'm planing on buying a second car also next summer. I'm just trying to have all the gear ready for when I do buy a car, but most likely will be a 2 door car as it will be my car to go to work mostly. I have decided on the amp I will be picking up over the winter, Crescendo BC2000d for the subs and C1100.4 for the mids and highs. Depending on the car and if I have room, I may also down the road pick up a second BC2000d. For subs I have been looking …

12" Kicker CVX12D2 750W factory renewed or Power Acoustik MOFO-12 1200W(probably overrated) new for same price. Obvously Kickers are better subs, can factory renwewed be trusted for quality and longevity. Don't knnow why they say renewed and not refurbished, that kinda scares me.

I'm also wondering who makes the best 4" hands down? i installed an alpine head unit and i initially wanted to keep it consistent by hooking up alpine speakers, but if i could get a better sound out of it with another speaker manufacturer, then i would be pleased. I only have 2 mounts for 4" speakers and am considering adding a sub in back but would rather keep it simple. any advice? here are links to the only 4"speakers they carry http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SPS-400〈=en&tab=Fhttp://www.kicker.com/ks_series

probably a stupid question, but got my subs sold, they were 10" and now wanting to upgrade Got along with a dealer and he is selling me 2 American bass hd 15 for 460 brand new wondering if i should get those subs or get another brand and model let me know what you guys think

Hey well i lik eplanning ahead inabout 6 months im going to be doing major work on my 05 scion tc i currently have a 12" mag and its awsome thanks again nick... but im thinking to go insane... i was thing of doing something like this http://www.carstereo.com/images/installs/xxx9%2D01%2Ejpg in the front and something like this in the back http://www.carstereo.com/images/installs/i...%5Fsystem%2Ejpg or http://www.carstereo.com/images/installs/L...B%40B%2D3%2Ejpg sorta mixxed probably like 4-6 subs in the rear and 2 in the dash.... havent decided on amps and the fronts rears ect... but i do know what i want... and i know i have to have my car stripped and dynamated to the …

working on my new build,getting ready to build my box. subs are going in a 2007 Chevy impala,looking for opinions on which way to fire my aeros.i know that firing sub's back and ports back would probably yield best output, but I'm not going to have enough room on the baffle for the subs and areos.so what about subs back ports to the driver side firewall or subs up ports to the rear/tail lights,basically a crx type box. not really wanting to cut the rear deck as I'm trying to keep the stock look, any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. thanks

my friend is looking to upgrade his mids and tweeters in his car, and the only green speakers he have ever seen, he's just wondering if anyone has heard of them and if they are any good, and if there not good, if anyone has an alternative speaker company they know with green accents on the speakers or grills

Hey all. not sure if my sub is bottoming out or i have the settings done incorrectly. its an sa-8 running at 2ohm 500watts. during some songs it sounds like the sub is banging into something but if i turn the volume down it stops. box is a .75 ^3 tuned to 34hz designed by ram designs. this is my first attempt at a stereo install in over 10 years so im sure its something ive done. gain is set to half on the dial and sensitivity is at 3/4. Amp is an alpine mrd500. Any thoughts? Thanks kevin i

02 ram single cab w/ center seat removed SQ cmpx2 Fi Q utopia w6v2 vanadium listen to mostly rock and rap but also stuff like rob dougan, prodigy, reggae, classical and most everything else which one and y? or if another sub would be better thx in advance

I'm currently running an 05 XXX 15 in a sealed 2.2 cubic foot enclosure, power by my Linear Power 2.2HV @ 8ohms...I'd guess about 800 watts rms. The output is great, however, the added weight of a 55lb driver and I guess another 20-30 for the box is whats killing me. So I think I've decided to run 2 10s or 2 8s, though good 8s are hard to find, and I don't want to run an Rl-i, I've used TC products before and weren't too impressed with them. I'm kinda leaning towards an Icon or SSD/Q, but am having a hard time deciding. I listen to heavy metal, so large amounts of output are not truly necessary, but it is nice every once and a while...and by that I mean maybe 5 mins a we…

I have these 2 subs in a 2 cube sealed box. My amp is a JBL 1200.1 I'd like to keep this box as it uses my trunk space very well. Before these subs, I had an 12" Brahma in a 2 cubic foot vented box that aboslutely slaughter. Sadly it was stolen and by then Adire was long gone. Keeping my current sub and box, what pair of 12's would you all recommend? $250 each would be a reasonable max. Less is even better.

Alright guys im looking for a little help. A guy i work with has a 97 single cab ford ranger is wanting to get a little bass in his truck. there isnt a lot of room behind the passenger seat(havnt had a chance to measure), but what would be a good shallow sub that would work well in a small sealed box? i was looking at the new sundown sd-2 but im not sure how well that would work. any ideas? THANKS!!!

Alrighty, Sadly it looks like my Infinity Reference 5.5" speakers are dying. (guess it more sounds like that...). Anyways, my one speaker sounds fine.. but the other one is starting to sound quieter and not nearly as sharp and i think its time to switch it up a bit. What i was looking at were the Bravox CX50CF coaxial speakers or the CX50K components.. My first main question i guess is from the SSA store do these come in pairs? or are the speakers priced individually. Also iv heard good reviews from other Bravox speakers but i havent really found any reviews on these particular ones. Obviously im looking to stay in about the same SQ range as the Infinity's, …
