Subwoofers / Speakers

ok, so I set out to look for a pair of these subs and wound up with 3 of them. They arrive next week and I am starting to look for some options. I thought of selling one and running two ported off of 2-SQA-1's that I have, but I am increasingly liking the idea of running all three. I have looked at the Audiopipe AP30001D which according to JBLCAMRY are good for 2600rmsx1@2ohms, but I have also looked at the new Soundstream Dtower which does 1400rmsx1@2ohms. Just looking for suggestions and seeing where we go from here. I am looking for a great sounding, loud system, and I typically try to do things right the first time so that I do not have to have any worries for …

The deal is anytime i listen to the music in my car at low volume my sub woofer will some times not play as loud as it should at the volume my head-unit is set at. but when i turn the volume on the head-unit up half way it will start playing like it should at that volume. head-unit - eclipse cd5030 amp - jl audio 300/2 v1 sub - sundown audio sa-10

The voice coil wire on my subwoofer disconnected from the terminal. and the Terminal popped off the basket. It is one of those old timey sub terminals like the ones you see on some 6x9's. Any way to replace it or fix myself? Maybe a good solder job? Thanks in Advance ~MadroX

We just got our shipment of BM's from Nick today and they look great. Pictures and specs are up on our site and they are ready to ship. http://www.audiojunkies.com/Categories/Bra...reo%20Integrity

Anyone have a favorite 6" sub? JL 6w0, Adire Audio 6", Rockford 6"? Looking for something for the rear deck of the Saturn. toss some baffles in there so they aren't going free air.

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!!!

I am wanting to get some scoops from people that have heard or experienced these first hand.... none of that well on youtube BS I am curious as to what your ears heard about these

I have a 2002 Chevy trailblazer, Boston acoustic 4 channel amp powering the b.a. interiors. I also have a kinetic hc800 to help power the jl1000v2 which is 1000rms. but i need some help choosing subs. i have a suv so the box size is virtually unlimited, i want something that hits rlly hard so i can have some bragging rights. i was thinkin maybe 2 15's but have no idea what kind i should get. money is not a factor i will spent what it takes to bump as hard as i can with 1000rms. HELP ME!!!!!

h im looking to run 4 of these subs maybe 2 unsure yet but im looking to get 2 3000 watt dc amps, will the level 5 18 be good for 3000 watts or is it not enough

.....so i can let this prototype have a swing at it! Only spent about 45mins with it so far on the drive home and there is a definite difference from 2nd gen and this prototype for the 3rd gen. The amazing SQ has been improved, i actually get double kick drums on Metallica songs. I plan on playing around with it more later tonight and will post review and some pics of the proto vs the 2nd gen. Good thing about this improvement though is that they didn't redo the characteristics of the sub, they added on to it. Example when the O series from ED got replaced from the Ov.2, the SQ changed and some liked it and some didn't. Wasn't as controlled and output was peaky, IMO…

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!

Just for my curiousity's sake, how many of you have been in contact with Nick, ordered a sub and paid for it already?

I know you are not suppose to take efficiency into consideration but what if you were comparing 2 different subs from the same company? I had been thinkin about goin with 4 Lvl4 15s and they have an efficiency rating of 89.4 The Lvl4 XL 18s have an efficiency rating of 94.77?!?! So... 4 15s efficiency should be 95.4 and 2 of the 18s should be 97.77... am i to assume that the 2 18" XLs are gonna kill the 4 15s? I know 4 15s may have more surface area but efficiency plays a role in that and apparently, it doesnt apply here. Lookin for some crazy numbers in the lanes and just wonderin if i'm bout to buy the wrong thing...

hey guy im thinking about buying a 1990 impala to play around with instead of having a sub infested Denali for everyday use...my dont know how much trunk space it have i can post some pic if it will help but heres what i was thinking..four sealed 15's, three ported 15's, or two 18's ported facing the trunk lid...opinions and suggestions please

Hi All, I am currently looking to upgrade my two Audioque HDS3.1 (probably 4-5 years old or so, but still in good condition) which is currently paired with a SKAR SK-2500. They sound great but I am looking for deeper and lower bass so I was considering getting just one large sub (a 15" or 18"). I currently have a car audio battery so I think I have enough power and have just recently understood that more cone surface area equals deeper and fatter bass. I currently have a 2003 Lexus GS300 so probably will lay it in the trunk. I think the amplifier is pretty good unless any of you have any different opinions, I am very open to hearing about it. Thank you all! Curr…

I have 2 18" Zcons I recently got, and I just realized the baskets are slightly different. 1 sub stands a little taller then the other, one basket has the option to be a quad terminal, and has different cooling. Wondering if I can still wire subs together to 1 amp with no worries. All coils read 1.0

Well I know it's not the best video, but it's all I could do. I need to change frequencies and try it again so the emblem shows up better - it's too choppy in the video I took. This is Umar's 15 running free air off of our Crown K2. Mag15Movie.MPG

I am currently replacing my two Exile Audio Pro xd12's for 2 Sundown SA-12. The feedback on sundown has been amazing and am really looking forward to hearing them. I am on a budget and want to get the best out of the llittle cash i have. I will be running these SA-12 off a Rockford P-1000.1 amp until i can get a bigger and better one. My question is the enclosure. A custom enclosure for 2 ported is quite a bit of money over here, so i am looking for a box i can find to order than is close enough to specs to sound good. Does anyone know a good enclosure to put these 2 SA-12's in that will sound good?

I will have to make some door panels since the Crescendo 8's wont fit in the stock locations without the factory door panels blocking half the speaker. So I think panels are the best choice here. I will probably do them in 3/4 MDF and flush mount them and cover in black vinyl to match truck and box. I was going to do 6's also in doors but dont have room unless I really get into the storage areas of the stock panels which I dont really want to do. Should I do the FT1's flush mounted in door panels too or try my hand at fiber glassing some pillar pods in each corner. Will they be loud enough in doors? I hate to make a even bigger blind spot in the corner in the pillar, whic…

I have a Toyota Tundra Regular cab with a sealed 12" Kicker 06TCVT122 400RMS at 2ohms powered by a Kicker ZX400.1 and was looking upgrading to a 15" AA Havoc in a 3.5cuft ported box @ 30hz with either a Sundown Audio 1500D or 1000D. Heres some pics of my available space LxW 60"x18" However, do to my limited space I don't think thats possible so I was also thinking of getting the 15 in a sealed box or two 12 sealed, what do you guys think?

are the IXL's available in any other voice coil besides the dual 2ohm,maybe dual 4ohm?

I am currently running a memphis 16-st1000d amp. My question is: If I were to get 2 D2 ohm subs and wire them to 1 ohm on this amp, would it hold up ok? I've read that it has a 1100 watt output on 14v @ 1 ohm. I'm not sure the effenciency or anything though. I've done a little research but havnt found a whole lot. Here's probably the best post I could find: Memphis Car Audio 16-ST1000D

Hey Guys, I've spent an hour or so on the Forum looking for specific on optimum wiring for my single GCON 12" I've have two amps here at the house: Diamond Audio D600.1 Mono block 275W x 1 @ 4-Ohms450W x 1 @ 2-Ohms600W x 1 @ 1-Ohm OR Boston Acoustics GTA-500M Channels Mono Bridgeable Not Bridgable RMS Power at 2 Ohms 500 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms 300 W x 1 1. Which one would you use and how would you wire it? It's going in a sealed 1.4 cu ft box, I'm more about clean and crisp.... Can a Jedi kick down some layman's terms??? So very appreciated.

Has anybody ever used PSI or Fix My Speaker?

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
