Subwoofers / Speakers

I was at a car show for lexus vehicles today. I had a chance to listen to a members 1 jl w7 13 on a jl amp, i thi k it was a 1000/1. any way i just wanted to say that my 2 xcons blew away that w7 by far! of course my xcons were in a properly tuned and well built encloseure powered by a mmats 3000.5. i showed off the excons and once again i amazed everyone when they saw that it was only 2 10's doing all that damage. People were like what the f..k? Two 10's ? NO WAY! and im like, uhh hell ya it is, and opened the trunk and showed them off. I will never sell these bad boys, i love them soo much.

Subs Well there you go... 56k beware tho.. at the end i turn it up a little more.. sadly when i was mountin my 12" back in my box i accidentally slipped and the screw driver went through the soft part... of the cone.. using silicon to fix it tho.. hopefully when i get back from a 5 month vacation nick will recone it for me... atleast i hope so if not i guess ill have to buy 4 15"s and wall it?? or just put em in th eback of my car

Guys I know just enough to get into trouble and looking for some advise. I've got 2 Fi btl n2 15's that are going to be sealed off from the trunk with a blow thru in the rear deck. Each sub is going to be ran at 1ohm with a Rockford t1500-bdcp amp. I've got 4 sets of Rockford T3 6.5" components and plan on running one set on each channel of my Rockford t800-4bdcp. My question is this..what freq should I cut the subs off at..where should my components pick up at..and are my components enough? Will they be loud enough? Will they go low enough? Thanks for any help you can offer.

About half of my active setup arrived in the mail today. The tweeters are supposed to come later today and then some more wiring tomorrow, the mids friday, and the coustic crossover on saturday I hope. FEDEX really beat the chit out of my packages. I was kind of scared at first. Now, without further ado, stick around for more

wazzup folks i recieved my audioque hdc3 18 by ups friday and had a helluva time getting all 7 cubes tuned to 30hz made of birch in my ext cab sierra. As soon as i turned on my stereo it was on a country song on a Cd. i noticed it was as loud as my 1 12 but it has even moved 2 milimeters yet and thats when i giggled. so to play around i put on a test tone of 25hz and stepped out of my truck only to see my windows moving atleast half inch and my back glass flexing around 1.5 inches, as i was steppin back in my truck it made my hair stand up like a hair trick! the lows are so crisp and kick drums and kettle drums are tight and controlled, ive never had a sound quality d…

Hey guys i was just gonna show you the box i got built and what yall think of it it is my first box build so be nice ahaha http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af346/DeerMan32/2012-05-07_19-32-24_629.jpg http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af346/DeerMan32/2012-05-07_19-34-44_372.jpg http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af346/DeerMan32/2012-05-07_19-32-38_272.jpg

Good enough?!!!! The inner dimensions are approximately: Height: 12.5" Depth: 11.5" Width: 19.0" Overall volume is somewhere around 1.58 cubes before displacement.

Well I am currently laid off work so I told my wife I would add some bump to her ride. Seemed easy enough at the time. Then I started shopping around, and now I am losing my mind. I have looked at so many subs I think my brain is going to explode. I'm just wondering where to start. I would like to run 2 12's ported if possible, if not Ill drop down to 10's. Rough dimensions are 32Wx15Hx?. I can probably go wider, but just a starting point. I decided I will build a box for the first time so whatever I go with hopefully someone can help out with a good box design, or point me in the right direction. My wife will be happy with anything, she heard 2 12" cvx ported and …

My brother. Dont know what size amp or what kind of amp to get he is going to get 2 icon 10's in his 1996 olddmobile any suggesstions

ill do the best i can to explain. my buddy just got some memphis subs the mclass 12s he has about 400 watts going to each the day after he got them one started smoking and then quit it still works but makes a clicking noise i took it out and took a look at it but didnt see anything wrong does anyone know what this could be?

The picture is very high-definition, and of course it's Bluetooth connected.

Alright its been taking me a while to decide a setup. I was lookin into not TOO expensive but also not too cheap. I am not looking for the best SQ out there. Just something that will sound decent and i just wanna make sure this isnt just pure crap. This is what i have come up with. fronts http://cgi.ebay.com/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-SL60-...1QQcmdZViewItem rears http://cgi.ebay.com/POLK-AUDIO-MMC570-MOMO...1QQcmdZViewItem

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?

just thought i would post some pics of my current setup since im new to the forum. keep in mind this is my first install my first box i built, but it sounds good. i got 1/0 gauge running from the front to rear battery (both negative and positive). i still need to clean it up with some vinyl panels. i have the panels made, now i just need to test my vinyling skills ( )...anyways...here they are...nevermind...can't seem to load the pics but here are the links, http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/car_audio_85...3f6.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/car_audio_85...1e9.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/car_audio_85...7a7.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yaho…

Where can I buy these Mach Audio MLI6.5? Not in the SSA store right only from the mach5audio.com website? I am also going to get some seas tweeter. I have an eclipse ea4000 so the woofers will be getting 75rms each and so will the tweeters. My headunit is a sony cd700 or whatever with graphic equalizer etc.... can I go active with it? Just with the headunit? This is my dumb idea. Cross everything over at 75hz and then play the woofers and mids, but obviously that isn't right? Anybody give me a hand or point me in the right direction if I'm doing this right? -Andres

I want to build a 2way setup from Parts Express. I was thinking part # 290-307 Goldwood 6.5" and # 264-1006 Vifa 3/4" I was going to use one of their Dayton pre assembled x-overs at 2k Hz. It has poly caps and such, good choice? Its easy for sure. I wanted to build a IB stand for in home listening and then if they sound good put them in my car. I also need to find an amp for in home 4 ohm use, unless I'm not thinking of another way of powering them? Series, add something to the x-over, etc.. Thanks for all input. Greatly appreciated.! Ben

I would love to do super sub comparsion between maybe 5 or 6 subs, here are a few I would personally put in the test: 1. New SI D2 2. SS RL-p 3. PB PR12D 4. PPI DCX122 5. Crystal COMPx2 6. Phoenix Gold Ti12D Elite and maybe a daily SPL sub comparo: 1. JBL Gti 2. RF T2 3. PB XS12D 4. CV Stroker Pro 5. MTX 9512 you guys have a dream list of subs you want to hear and find out more about them?

I have had a pair of IXL 12's sitting around since last summer. With the DBDrag coming up locally in a couple weeks I felt it was time to get my arse in gear. Heres the Basic design with the exception that I decided not to do a driver flush mount and therefore increased the width of the top port piece from 4.5" to 5. This box is 3.2cubes net. We did an impedance sweep and its exact tuning is 33hz. Two weeks ago I got my pieces cut and asembeled. Sorry I fogot to take pictures of the bare box. Nothing special though. But Heres the finished box......I previously had an eD 15 in a 2.5 cubes @ 27 hz box in my car and it did a 140.6db on 1200rms. After only a few hours pla…

Sorry bout that mess of a trunk, i am currently deadening my entire car. got started with some help form nick earlier today.

4 of my 15" recones, next to my friends 18" mt since im reconing all my mts, we blew all 4. in the process, this basket broke off the motor the voice coils. the one that is un wound came off the motor with the broken basket lol. we pushed that bitch hard..... baskets and last but not least, the motors

Ok, I had about 4 paragraphs typed up then accidentally x-ed out of all my tabs on firefox...so here it goes again! Finally...my write-up is here...I've been busy and didn't get time to write anything WHILE the driver was still here. First, I'd like to thank Mr. Nick Lemons for the opportunity to demo such a unique and amazing driver. I was watching for UPS everyday when I heard the news the new SI d2 had been shipped out to me. I couldn't wait, when I received the package I immediately took it up to my dorm room and opened it. I stared googly-eyed at the beautiful woofer...picture do NOT do this subwoofer justice. The back-end is SO sexy...nice bumped back-plate...it's h…

Ive got myself a 1977 Buick Regal...thas one of those metal cars...no plastic...and no type of dampening so yes sound dampening is on my to get list. Im not an all out SPL guy, but not any all out SQ guy... Im more of a "LSQ" guys that many people are...but wont admit it. Due to an awkward trunk...I AM A go with either 1 15 or 2 10s. I want it to sound clean and hit the lows. Boxes im thinking bout ..... two 10s...3 cu ft. tuned to 32hz, 1 15 3-4 cu ft. tuned to 32 hz I dont wanna spend more than 230 for a single woofer or 400 for a pair WOofers Fi SSD 15 AA Aresnal 15 Re SE 10, 15(they are pretty cheap on ebay) Alpine Type-R 10, 15( hear they arent very good on the sq, i…

Buyer stated, NIB. Sent me a note along with the sub saying it was used. WTF is this? http://www.woofervids.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1526

So I've made it pretty obvious that I was ordering a 10" ICON from SSA for a while, but haven't really put up my impressions of it yet. Well, just so happens that I got her in this week and have had a couple days now to play with it. But first, the pictures! Was too heavy for the wife to bring in...lol All concerns about this sub not being packed gingerly and braced to survive UPS' typical mishandling can now be dispelled. The foam blocks were glued to the shipping box itself and the magnet was held in place with more cardboard and a wood basin. I ended up pulling the sub out from the magnet side because I didn't want to damage the foam blocks Yay! I has a s…
