Subwoofers / Speakers

One of the voice coils on my sub no longer reads 4 ohms. I'm repairing one of my subs right now, and I decided to ohm the other subs just to see if i damaged more than that one. Well one coil is reading 6 ohms instead of 4 ohms. Leads are not broken and they do not seem to be burnt. Coil doesn't appear to be discolored. Any thoughts? Thanks

alright dilemma time and I need some help. right now Im looking at running two fi 18 bls off a audioque aq3500d in about 12 cubes so my question is is that too much power for them fully loaded any other sub suggestions would be greatly appreciated p.s Im 16 and money is tight so keep that in mind

So I am struggling on choosing a tweeter that's going to fit my head units power capabilities, and if the ohm load that the tweeter is will majorly affect my vehicles audio performance. My favorite tweeter that I am looking at is 8 ohms, and RMS's at 50 watts with a 1300-20000 frequency range, but will this tweeter perform fully off my deck if its asking for 50 watts at 8 ohms? another tweeter RMS's at 15 ohms, but has a 4 ohm impedance with a 3500-25000 frequency range....would i be better off with this because it more matches the RMS wattage of my head unit? lastly, I found another tweeter that surpasses all others in that it is 4 ohms, but requires 100 watts RMS....wou…

anyone know the recomended ported box size or if you own one what size and frequency for tuning u use im thinkin maybe a khaotik enclosure but cant find box specs

i need a 60l ported (rectangular ) box tuned to 33-35hz will fit in the trunk of a 97 ibiza amplified with renegade 275 wrms i will need dimensions of the box and the port can anyone help me ? would be better to chose a bigger box or tuned to another frecvency ? i will listen hip hop and i want big bass http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/unledor.jpg

he bought it used off ebay and on the cone it has the logo that says "RE", not the other logo. it pretty much looks just like this: so i'm THINKING it might be an SX but i'm not sure...is there any way to find out without having to send it in to RE and ask them?

Hey guys, I need a set of kickpods for the kick panels of a 3rd gen Formula. Its an 88. I want to fit a pair of 6.5" comps in the kicks. I was wondering sence I will not have time to learn how to glass while home, if someone would build them for me? I am obveously willing to pay. Just let me know how much. J

Sup everybody, I have a question here, has any body used the 12" Pioneer TS-SW124D shallow sub? Mounting depth is only 3 1/4" and they run 350 watts nominally / 1400 watts peak. $200.00 Suggested price. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/prod...7969819,00.html What about the Pioneer TS-SW1041D 10" shallow sub, it has a mounting depth of 2 7/8", and these run 350 watts continous / 1000 watts peak. $180.00 Suggested price. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/prod...7969808,00.html I'm also curious with the Earthquake SWS-10 (2 11/16" mounting depth, 400 watt peak, $299), SWS-12 (3" mounting depth, 600 watts peak, $399), and the SWS-15 (3 1/4" mounting depth, 800 wa…

my friends got a 08 avalanche wit 12" L7's..as you can see from the title. this is the box he has... http://caraudiofactory.com/20012009-chevy-...poly-p-270.html it picks up absolutely no low notes whatsoever....he wants his chit to hit low as hell. i know a custom box for this truck will be pretty hard at first...but im tellin him it will probably be worth it. i havent seen too may custom builds on avy's. an suggestions/ideas? if its too vague let me know and ill see if i can explain a little more in detail. thanks

Hoping to get the powerbass 15 inch sub and power it with an audiopipe apsm 1300. As you can tell it's a budget bass project. but are there any better options for the same price or less? Or does anyone have any come tsunami about the amp or subwoofer? Any experience with this equipment?

Was just wondering how a single 15" D2 will handle 1500 watts of power? Is it too much for the driver, or will it handle it perfectly and pound to my heart's content? Thanks

One Mag 12 or Mag 15? i can't decide, i want SQ and not something too crazy but since this is a demo i'd like to have alittle show. Also what is the depth of the sub? Is the Mag 15 8in deep? or is that the 12?

If was to get a box THE have 2 cu ft. per chamber...its only .2 below the reccommend box size sealed for the maw15...it wouldnt make that much of a difference correct? edit... umm how much polyfill? since the box is under the reccomended size?

hey, just wanted some input as to shipping these solo x 18s.... i was thinking on doing something very simular to ssa shipping ( plywood on top and bottom, 2x4s on each side) inside of a big cardboard box. what do u guys think? dont tell me there gonna be alott$$ to ship.. i know this lol buyers have agreed to pay full shipping

Interesting reading over on the "Ok,ok its time to leak info" thread.I have an original Mag that has the 'CLAW' basket and was wondering if the new parts for the new Mag can be used with the 'CLAW' basket?

I just got my 15" icon dual 2 on monday =) So anyway im probably about 75% done building a fiberglass box for it and I may have to invert the sub to get the neccesary air space. When i do that I have to reverse the polarity correct? So for a 1 ohm load at the amp I would run amp + to sub - on voice coil 1 and amp - to sub + on voice coil 2 and then connect the remaining 2 terminals together. Is that correct?

ok so i have a 8" l7 and it has this knock to it from the research ive done im pretty sure the shaft the voicecoil ries on is tweaked a bit so the vc hits it is there any way to repair this? it would be awesome if i can cause then i can trade it and a cheap boss 600w amp for two RE 10's that hit 148 in comp and feedback would be great

Last year I purchased a set of Image Dynamics CTX-65CS for my front stage. I was running them on an AQ200.2 amp. The right side tweeter kept blowing so ID upgraded me to the XS-28 tweets and the matching crossovers from the CSX set. Well, after 3 more attempts the tweets kept blowing. They said it must be something wrong with my amp, so I swapped the amp for my Kenwood KAC-7005PS. I bridged the channels to get 100 watts per side so that overpowering should not be an issue. Well, after the warranty ran out my last replacement came in. It lasted a week. I don't know what the problem could be unless the driver on that side was bad, sending the incorrect ohms to the tweets. T…

I went with direct leads because the push terminals broke off & it was dangling! So I took both off. This XCon is the first generation, it is just under 5 years old. It was reconed before about 2 years ago, and just started using it. it was a bad recone job lucky I ordered 2 recone kits, Dustcap came lose first day out & it was flapping. spider came completely off later. I wanted the job done right, So I did it myself. I think I did it right. I'm proud to say I am no longer a Recone Virgin.

u told me once b4, i think it was .7, but just want to be sure for when i build my new box

i currently have an RL-p15 that i consider my baby, powered by a JL e1800D amp. since i dont full on pound the RL-p i want to get a 12" sub that would handle all the beating of 1000 watts on a daily basis. im thinking of eclipse or alpine at the moment, but im open to any suggestions. oh yeah, and as much as possible id like to stay under $260

Will have the bench seats all the way up. Am lookin for two tens or two twelvea ported not sure if twelves will fit. Look at fi bl alpine type rs or sa. Please help money isnt an issue
