Subwoofers / Speakers

how do type r s compare to w3s

Im new to this forum this is my first post, i am very excited to order a Dcon 15. I have heard awesome things about the 10s, and good things about the 12s. but i havent heard much about the 15, i like SQ and am looking for something really clean and smooth but will go low. I listen to rap, dubstep, and some rock, and most other electronic. But will a Dcon 15 hit as low as my songs play?

http://www.reconingspeakers.com/ so i've been looking for a recone at a decent price for my RF power hx2 15 and came across this site. they r the best deal i can find. full recone kit for $75 which is 10 bucks cheaper then forevrbumpn from smd. they only show the 12" version of my sub on the site but i emailed them n they got it for mine too. anyone ever dealt with them or heard anything good or bad about them?

A friend of mine is trying to decide between a pair of Treo TSX 12s sealed or 2 JL Audio W3v3 13.5s sealed. He can get JL and Treo subs are very good prices. Either set will be powered off 700 watts. Which would get louder with that power sealed?

Would crossing these tweeters over at 1200 be to low? Has anyone had any experience with them? Also how much power do they like?

Hey all, I'm looking at getting some new gear for a 2000 Honda Civic Coupe. In the past I've had a set up that included: MB Quart Components front and rear, Eclipse 15 subs (2) and Fosgate amps to power everything (1 360.6, and two 250.2). I'm beyond the big boomy base and mostly listen to metal/rock (NIN, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Slipknot) along with some lighter stuff (Echo and the Bunnymen, Morrissey, etc.). I'm basically looking for a compromise of playing loud and sounding really good (something that doesn't sound muddy or tinny). I've listened to some Alpine Type X's and thought they sounded great. I'm basically trying to find a convertible/"coax" component set …

I have a skar 1500.1 and im going to buy two 12s, I just cant make up my mind. Everything ive read says the sa's works wonderful and they would match with the amp I have. The xfls take a lot of power but some people have ran them with lower power and have had success. I m just stuck. these will be the last subs I can get for quite a while so I want to make the right choice and unless my amp takes a dump I wont be replacing that either. In the search's ive done most people say xfl over sa's but most people also feed them more power. Advice appreciated.

i currently have 3 JL 10w0's and i need a change lol. I have a 600 rms amp at 2 ohms. I wanna get a louder system but still keep my same amp. I can't decide between a 12" RE SE or 2 12" Alpine R's. I found great deals on both so the price isn't a problem. I am also going to be building a ported box for the one i choose. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

what kinda of amp would u recommend putting on a 12'' mag? watts? need some help. i dont wanna under do it or over do it

Yea, Ive already checked the SI website and saw the address to send my money to, but I was wondering if there was a way to pay for one of these with PayPal, or if sending my check off was the only way. Do I need to write Nick an email before I send the check so that he is expecting it, or should I just go ahead and send it with my contact information (email, phone, address....anything else needed besides naming the item I am buying?)? If I can pay with PayPal, what is the PayPal address that I should send the money to? Are there additional charges for using PayPal? I sent an email to Nick asking pretty much these same questions yesterday, but never got a response. No doub…

ive been looking around, and i cant find hardly any info on the re subs... can anyone toss me a link. also on where to buy them

Right now I have 2 dcon 12s in a sealed box. 1.25 cubes each and they sound ok, but to me they lack the output I like. My girlfriend likes them, so I'm going to give the the box to her when she get's her vehicle which is soon. I orginally intended on putting them in a ported box, 4 cubes tuned to 33hz and even had the box built, but it didn't fit and yes I'm kicking myself in the ass for my miscalculation but it's a beautiful box made by Trev of Pound That Sound and I know it'll eventually sell. I'm strongly considering a pair of 10s in a nice ported box. I have a RF T500-1bd to power a pair. I have never tried a pair of 10s before. I'm pretty sure 3 10s is louder …

I have some 70w rms pioneer 5-way 6x9s that sound decent but definitely not as clear as I would like. So I thought Id buy some quality 6x9s, Ive been looking around for awhile and none seem to come close to the Infinity kappa 693.9I 3-way speakers in specs. Anybody have any experience with these? Seem like a good purchase for around $100? Specifications: Power Handling (RMS): 110 W Power Handling (Peak): 330 W Frequency Response: 35Hz – 30kHz Nominal Impedance: 2 Ohm Sensitivity (2.83V @1m): 96dB Also my kenwood 6.5s are clear and sound fairly great but I doubt…

ok guys, i messed up my recone pretty bad...i used the 10 minute epoxy...and i guess i didn't mix it right bc its just tacky and still not dry. it has been sitting on my counter for well over 5 hours...what should i do?

i have a 98 blazer and im looking for a really loud daily driver something something over a 145 + thats what im hitting now,so im thinking 2 ssd 15's or 2 btl 12's or 15's,or since i have a btl 18 ordering another and just walling it (oh yea!!!)

Ok well I thought I was gonna get me a few lvl4 12's to put in my car and do a lower class in NSPL. But I found a pickup that I am thinking about buying and just cutting the hell out of it. So if I get this truck I believe I may do a bit of serious bass racing. So My question is could a lvl5 15/18 take an IA 40.1 daily. I have never been known to care for the one note wonder and never shy enough not to let any one that wanted to take a listen and look around. So I am in search of a sub that can take 3000+ for a good duration. I figure I may as well make a wind tunnel out of it for the fun. I am also looking at a few other subs for the job but I seem to be really dr…

i bought this sub maybe 5 years ago... i bought this sub while on the search for something more then the normal JL kicker blah blah blah.. meanwhile this sub was like 400 bucks.. and i found one that had a broken basket for 30 bucks or so so i bought it only to get it in hand and see how it was build, and the quality of the sub.. long story short.. i bought 2 BL15s and thats how i met SSA, any how.. this thing has a 4 inch V/c and so forth.. i guess my question is... before i put it on CL for 20 bucks.. can this motor be taken off and used on another basket??? and if so will FI's or someone elses 4 inch BL VC be used on a 18 inch sundown basket? anyhow im all j…

Hello All: This is my first venture into subwoofers and am hoping to build a Mach MAW-15 sub for Home Theater purposes. I have a prefab sealed cabinet with an internal volume of 2.5 cu. ft. I hope to drive it with a Parts Express SA240 or 240 watt plate amp. As the MAW-15 is rated at 500W RMS whereas with only 240w AMP - Is this power be sufficient to push the MAW-15 for Ht purposes. I humbly request your advice if I am on the right track in purchasing this driver. Keep up the gr8 product line! Kudos! Thank You! TSS

So... I just placed an order for a new sub. Any guesses? Its from the ssa store. This is just so I have some bass untill I get a neww DD (daily driver) and start my new build of 4 18" zcons on 4 saz3ks. Cant wait!

I have a 2002 nissan altima without the bose speaker system. I currently have a Pioneer deh-4200ub headunit and in the front I put in 2 alpine type S coaxial speakers. In the rear deck are 2 pioneer 6x9s that were installed by the previous owner. Im looking to add some more midbass to my system because the current speakers just seem sort of flat. I dont have an amp hooked up and the HU is powering the speakers. Ive read here that an amp is necessary to get the most out of your speakers because the HU pushes something like 22w. Im pretty content with the type S's up front sq wise. They are 5 1/4 if I remember right and thats all that would fit in there without fabrication …

Will a 15" SRx hold up on a kicker 400.1 daily.?

Well i got my system together ( needs some minor adjustments here and there). Running a jvc KD-avx77 to my kicker zx750.1 amp, and to my Fi SSD12 with copper coil option. I wired it in parallel but then my amp went into protection mode and i didnt even really turn up the gain much. Should I wire it in series? My sub has the DVC option

i currently have 3 JL 10w0's in a sealed box running of an infinity amp that puts out 600rms @ 2ohms. Im frustrated with the wimpy bass im getting from the JL's. I found a great deal on a MJ 18 4 ohm. I would plan on putting the mj in a ported box and i was wondering if the MJ would increase my output with the same amp?

Bought an SP4 last night and was wondering if anyone could help me with a design. My max dimensions are W: 38" D: 38" H: 42" or more was looking for a tuning of 30-33 hz if possible with a slot port design. will be running off a Rubicon 2500
