Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys lookign for some insight. I have a 2002 lincoln ls, i was looking at (4)10 inch BL subs or(1) 15 inch sub built to specs both set ups on a saz-1500 or saz-2000. Budget not really an issue. The enite trunk is going to be used no spare tire. Which one Would you choose? Recommendation also welcome

Alright to start off i dont mind waiting for a little. So the question is what should i wait for . I have and ext cab s10, i believe if i do a half wall i will be able to put two of the spl 12's he has cooking in a ported box in the back. or i could go will two of his 15's in a ported box, or finally one IXL 18.4 in a very big and stuffed sealed box.. I would love a lot of output, i could deal with a little SQ but spl is my main concern, as well as lows i absolutly love my lows so what do you thank i should get. I dont know exactly how much i can fit back there but it should be around 7-9 cubes for the half wall.

Has anyone experienced with different sealed box sizes for a MAg 12.....i have my Mag in a ported box now (2.75 cubes tuned to 35hz....and before it was in was 2.32 cuft tuned to 32hz) and i think i am going to see what the MAG will do sealed cause i would like a smaller box. I would like to know how the sound of it changes as the sealed box gets bigger and smaller.... BTW....this is right now powered by a ZR360 (530 watts) and may be down the road powered by a ZR600(~800 watts) if i ever get it fixed. So what size sealed box in the .5 to 1.5 cuft sealed box range has been best for ya'll NICK......CHIME IN!!! Scott, SC

What's the main differences b/t the two? Just a lil curious. Are they completely different?

can anyone get me a box design for a DC audio level 4 12"? i want high bass so around 40hz, thanks in advance. pm me or email me if you dont want to post it here

this just in, just found out today when i got some new h2's in, they changed the surround to a foam style surround that is taller. I was like wtf, whats this all about, and emailed my buddies at tech support to find out. my questions: whats the deal with the new surround on the h2's? any advantages? Reason for design change? They seem to look like they will allow more excursion, but thats all from looks. shane his reply: More power handling, and greater excursion, 32mm now ohhhh, cant wait to test!!! got someone testing at sbn, hehehe. will have pics soon.

Thank you for reading my post. I am a 20 year veteran of car audio system building, though my involvement has drastically decreased since becoming a Dad. It's time to install a system in my 2012 Scion xB. I have a Rockford Fosgate T1001-bdcp amp that does ~750 watts @4 ohms or ~1100 @ 2/1 ohms. Most importantly, I am an old school basshead who still listens to real bass music from the early 90s (Techmaster P.E.B., DJ Magic Mike, Bass Patrol, etc.). My bass CD collection is a source of pride for me. Anyway....I am looking for a single 12" or 15" woofer that will give me the 20-25 Hz notes that I crave. My maximum external dimensions are something like 22" wide, 17" …

okay i dont know about the rest of you, but i love hearing stories about how 'x' sub blew my friends away or my co-workers. the 'x' sub in this case will definitely be the magnum. so just post what you have accomplished or what other people have said after hearing it. i'll start. yesterday was the first time i've really let anyone see/hear my 15'' mag. the first words out of my friend's mouths were "holy chit that thing is massive". then they were all that thing moves soooo damn fast it's crazy! i've never seen a sub move faster than that. good stuff. post away people!

I have a box desighned for two 12 dcons could two12 skars work in same box? dcons not decons

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…

well just like it says which would I get the most output? By the way I would be useing one of the DP or BTL's or two of the mojo's. the box is approx. 11cf gross power will be atleast 4k. Out of the 3 choices I only have experience with the BTL (with cooling only)and am very pleased but would like more. If there is something else to consider then let me know also with an amp suggestion I have been leaning towards a stetsom. thanks mcbuggin

When did this happen? It looks like the website was just updated recently. Any chance there are some of the 'old' model ixl 10.2.2 and 12.2.2 with the lower FS kicking around to be purchased? With my application sealed is a lot easier (yes the recommended ported sizes are small, but you still have to get a port in there). I can't do 2.5cubes so the 15.2.2 is out of the question.

I just got my magnum in the mail today . I put it right in my box (2.1 @29hz) and wired it up to a brutus 1000 at 1ohm, put in some sublime and wow .I've never had a sub before so this if my first install. I've only heard other kids at my high school and the only one that even comes close to this in loudness and sound quality is a kid w/ a 12L7 in a less than 1 cube box and it's still not as loud. This may not be the right place to post this but if anyone has this amp has any ideas what to set my amp settings at, that would be wonderful. There's Subsonic 15-36hz, bass eq 0-18, lowpass 35-250, and the level/gain 9v-.2v. Thanks.

Hi guys, i was wondering if you can give some suggestions for a sub that my friend could use with the info i got from him... - small maybe 10" or even 8" - musical sounding sub - can go loud abit i think? - good for sealed enclosures - good for 500W only or maybe less for efficiency - max of $300 if possible i think the reason for small is he plans to put in in the corner of the trunk. behind the tail lights. and if im not mistaken, he needs it for .7 or less cubes after displacement. he was thinking of putting flat subs/slim subs but i advised him to wait, and ill try to get more suggestions for i think slims subs output would not be enough for him, but if you can sugg…

So I'm going to be in that area in 2-3 weeks - picking up a boat I purchased in Cottage Grove. Figure I would camp out in St. Cloud since it is north of Minneapolis, which means easy driving from there. Would love to hitch up with a few folks in the area. Might bring down a couple of goodies.. Best, Mark

Hey my friend just bought 2 pbx's like 2 months ago, running of an orion 1200watt amp, anyways they were made in 04 at least thats what the sticker says, one of the just stopped working, like today i was putting some damplifier in his truck and i wanted to see his subs and it sounded funny to me, ussualy you can't even tell well the one sub sounded as if you had a piece of plastic infront of it, i think it was just the wires inside the box could be wrong tho, also i noticed one of his subs wasnt hitting at all... took it out sure enough wire'd it at 1ohm and got nothing out of it.... is there any type of warranty on these, or would he be better off just taking it back to …

okay i need helping finding the best sub/ subs for me. heres what i have so far: Sundown Audio SAE 1200D 2.2 cuft max box area 6.5" mounting depth is the max i can get for the subs $350 price range overall my goals are to get something that is loud but also sounds good. im leaning towards 1 10" Fi BL with cooling and flatwind coil. but does anybody else have any recommendations? Thanks

Looking for pricing on a single DC Sound Level 4 10" would like to review it next to my XXX, and a few other 10s so i figured i'd see what kinda pricing this sub goes for and whats the best way to go about getting one. I tryed to speak with WCA Rusty at one time about the DC brand but talks were kinda inconclusive so i thoguht i would post a thread in hopes for a response.

What are the reccommended box sizes and tunnings?

i have a set of the hybrid clarus c61-2s. i let them break in for a few days and decided to tune them today. everything sounded great until my right tweeter cut out. the mid on the right side and the left tweeter and mid are fine though. tried different songs. and it cuts out on songs with alot of highs. i have a kenwood kdc-X994. ive tried setting the gains with volume 25/35 30/35 and 35/35. i emailed kenwood and they said theis headunit doesnt clip at any volume. i adjusted the gains everythime i changed the volume and it still cuts out. if i turn the gains down the tweeter is ok but im eally losing output. checked both tweeters with a dmm and they read the same. cant …

Well something came to mind after looking at the SI's box recomendations. I am a SQ guy so the 1.5 cu ft box sealed sounds best to me. At 1.5 cu ft, that is almost 1/3rd of the size of the box that is currently in my car! I have a 4.4 cu ft box for a single MTX sub now. Anyway, The system I am replacing is the first single sub stereo I ever made. Needless to say, I only bought 1 SI Mag12" to replace it. However I am wondering now, should I consider a second sub? I will be running a US Amps USA-300x Rated at 900 watts at 4 Ohms at 12 Volts. Can this amp power 2 of these is some way? This dual 2 ohm voice coil stuff is kinda new to me. I am used to old school SVC …

well as it always happens i want to make a little more noise now and im starting to upgrade in the process of getting a t40001bd and 2 d3100 im torn between 2 18" btl's with p chamfer and the hixmax coil OR 2 18" bl's loaded im looking for reliability first and then loud tuned musically 31hz ish i guess my price range is 700-900 depending on whats out there im just trying to keep up i mostly listen to rap but i like how on the Q i can put some rock in and impress people with how the big slow 18 keeps up i got like 11 ^3 ft and polly fill to work with also any input is needed and appreciated

I have a RF 1000-1BD, and I would like to buy an MJ 18, but my amp will do like 550 @ 4. 900 ish @ 2 and 1300 @ 1. So I need a dual two or dual four. No possibility? No, getting it and reconeing and using different coils is not an options.

If Nick says it is punchy and tight, then let my town rain with 15" D2s. Any1 here want to justify why they would go for a 12"?

how do type r s compare to w3s
