Subwoofers / Speakers

This thing was already in a box when i got it so i decided to just throw it in the car and see how it sounded. The enclosure it's in is pretty beefy but it's sealed, which i know wasn't recommended for that sub. Probably about .85 cubes if i had to guess. Anyway, wired in parallel for final 2 ohm load at the amp. Amp is MTX 81000d rated 1000wrms @ 12.5v and i believe it should be pushing around rated power. Anyway the excursion on this thing is SICK, kinda moves like the old eclipse TI,s. However, I am disappointed in it's output. I have had several single sub setups in different cars, ported and sealed, and honestly, it doesn't seem any louder then a kicker comp 12 w/ a…

my friend works for a alarm system company and they also handle surround sound systems and he wants to get some 10's for his truck and he can get these db drive speakers for cheap from the company order, anyone ever heard or delt with them before?

I have a 2002 pontiac grand prix and i was looking at some new subs and i was wondering if i should get two 12" ssa icons or fi btls. I am also planning on getting a saz3000d to push these with a yellow top optima(or equivalent) plus i already have an 220 ho alternator.

ok, the difference in sound is pretty obvious, but whats the technical difference between making a sq and a spl sub? i mean if all speakers and subs work by the same principles, how is one more accurate than another? just always wondered that , thanks

With a budget of $600 what individual comps would you order from Madisound to fill out your system. Your size choices are limited to 7inches for the woofer, 4 inch mid and 1 inch for the tweeter.

I was thinking about putting three 10" subs in my '91 Vette, so I posted an earlier thread asking for suggestions and a few people suggested that I run just one 12" sub instead. Personally, I think three 10's would fit nicely, sound better and get louder than just one 12, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks about it. The maximum dimentions I have to work with are 34" x 12 1/2" x 18". Thanks for any input.

I've never installed anything other than coaxials in the rear deck of a car... However with my new setup, I'm thinkin of going with 4 Mach 5 MLi-65s. theres going to be tweeters and x-overs aswell. I'm going to be putting one in each factory location. the other two will either go in the pillars, in the dash, or somewhere behind me ( reg cab truck, isn't a rear "stage" useless?) I'm wondering how to wire it up. just been looking at amps online and I'm wondering how it all connects. I have a Pioneer DEH-4900IB for a headunit, and won't be running active.... just a two way component set.

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=264-838 They also come in a 6x9 version. I'm thinkin 2 or 4 in a ported box. Tuned low... might do it for home setup, or see if I could have a smaller box designed for my buddys jeep and use those, so he could put his back seat in and drag around his friends.

New Setup need build a LSQ system I wanna put a good system together but Im not sure what type of subs or amp to look for. I listen to a lot of R&B, Hip Hop & Rap. I love my music to be deep(subs) and clear(fs) so what would be good oh yeah Im not on a want a budget. If anyone could give any good suggestions/advice, personal experience, etc I would appreciate it, thanks!!

Firstly I must say this is the best forum I have come across and has helped me by far the most! from NOOB! to beginner I'd say "D So, I like my bass, well what i have of it. Just a Panasonic mini-system in my room that can push 450 watts max with sub. I believe I'm looking for an SQ set-up, to me I'm sure 1000 watts RMS will still get loud sealed, maybe not to you maniacs pushing 3000d's n chit! So to me... This "Should" work well ? :S 1) Fi Q 12" ( Dual 1 or 2)? 2) 1-1.5ft Sealed ( Advise for size or difference between 1 and 1.5 ) 3) Sundown SAE-1000d or RF P1000BD (Don't Know which is best) 4) Speakers to replace stock - ALPINE-SPR-17S Comps 5) Need an amp to run them (…

hi guys i am new here, i just bought these 12" Kicker L7 Solo-Baric 4 ohm. Subwoofer. Only 1 of them,NOT DUAL. heres the description becaues i am a beginner to the car audio world. lol.

Okay guys, I hear you all talk about active and passive front stages all the time, but I don't know the difference between the two. I am tired of not knowing and finally worked up the courage to ask. I hope I'm not made fun of or anything for it!

I'm looking for some really hard core 10" subs for daily ground pounding in my '91 Vette. Three 10" subs in a TOTAL space of 3 cu. ft. or less would fit quite nicely in the space I intend to use. I'm looking for decent sound quality, but I mostly just want subs that will sound the loudest when pushed to reasonable limits. What I mean by reasonable limits, is the maximum output that can be sustained continuously without causing any damage (at least to the sub anyway). I really don't care if it takes 10 watts or 10,000 watts to get that max output, I just wanna know which ones will have the most output in this situation. Thanks for any advice.

I have two 12" JL w6v2 subs. I dont have an amp powerfull enough to power them anymore, so I'm going to run with a single sub for a while. I'm want to build a new enclosure for it... it will either be a sono tube or a fiberglass enclosure. I'm just wondering what some of you JL owners are running a single w6v2 in?? I know JL has some specs on their site for "suggested" enclosures. I've made their slot port before... but I sold it when I upgraded to two subs... and to be honest, I dont think its the best it could have been. I would like to go ported, will most likely used a round port. What are specs you guys using for your jl?? Any and all help is needed. I certai…

I am looking for some suggestions on subs to replace the two Eclipse SW8100 series 12's I have now. Here is what I have: Kenwood DNX-7100 Audio Control Matrix Audio Control EQS Boston Acoustics ProSeries 6.0 (front) Powered by US Amps USA-4300x @ 3Ohm Bridged. According to the O-Scope, I am getting ~460w per bridged channel @ 3Ohm (unclipped) Stock rears power by HU (2) Eclipse 12" SW8100 Dual 4Ohm Powered by US Amps USA-1000x @ 2Ohm stereo According to the O-Scope I am getting ~630wpc @ 2Ohm stereo (unclipped) The boxes the subs are in are "not much more" than 1^3 sealed, gross internal volume. My goals: Maintain high SQ as I currently have, but find something that is mo…

we are on the process of installing level 5 18inch in a toyota fortuner. this would be our first time to compete dc audio subs here in the philippines. we hope for the best results. any idea to help us would be appreciated. thank you. its so heavy! ouch!!!! hahaha.... i like to share some pictures of the car show. sorry i have no db drag pictures. the toyota fotuner we made won 1st place!!!!! it hit 149.5db with a musical cd on termlab another win for TEAM DC AUDIO!!!! our entries in the car show

ok i have a 1989 ford ranger super cab and just about all the speakers are busted so obviously ill be upgrading, i know close to nothing about highs, so are there any suggestions, its 4"s in the doors and 6.5"s in the back and ill be making fiberglass panels to fit whichever tweeters i get.

ive been curious about running one of these ib. i have 300rms at 4ohm available. im going to be upgrading to a 2way active front stage and im considering ib for some improved sq but i dont want to lose tomuch spl.... currently i have a 12" AA arsenal in 2.2 cubes tuned to ~30 hz seeing 600rms (my amp is 300rms at 4, 600 at 2 /= kenword excelon kac x10d). i still need to take some messurements to see if it will fit in the ski way. maybe ill have to find a 15 or two... if i was to sell my sub and amp i bet i could get about 300-350 for them or about 200-250 for the sub/box. what does a sub need to be run ib? ive read either lots of cone area or lots of xmax?

I am in Canada, and I'm just looking for a few options, and shipping and stuff will cut into my budget. I was going to go with two Mach 5 IXL-12.2.2s and an Orion 2500D. The subs are only Dual 2. However, Mach 5 is Canadian and the Orion is also in Canada. I'm looking for some alternatives. Whatever combos you guys can come up with, for around 800 bucks for the sub(s) and amp(s) and shipping to Canada....

i have a dilema. i have a zx2500.1 now. i am gonna purchase 2 15.2 orion hcca's next week. but since some faggy ass mofos done stripped my other car i think i wanna put more money into this setup. i have a 6cub ft box @ 35hz for these subs. i am contemplating buying another zx2500.1 to run one amp per sub. i am prepared and fully aware of the elec upgrades need to be successful. so with all this being said what would be a realistic difference in the 2 setups. 2 hcca's wit 1 amp or 2 hcca's wit 2 amps. obviously this is a problem cause i need to buy the subs according to the ohm load they will be run at. my goal is to have loud and deep clear bass. i want some movement(fl…

Ok I know soundstream use to make some alright products years ago, but what about now? Are they any good. I'm looking for components. I seen a pair of Soundstream PCC.6 N for pretty cheap. And the PCX2.350 to power them. Do you think this setup would be any good? PCC.6 N-- http://soundstream.com/components-picasso.htm PCX2.350-- http://soundstream.com/amplifiers-picasso.htm

Which sub has the capability of being louder for a daily scenario, no comps? Each sub will be run by a AQ2200d and two Yellowtop 1200d's.

RE subs have had a really good reputation for sounding great and having a strong threshold for abuse, however there's no talk of them anymore. Did their quality go downhill or is it the raise in price that is causing them to not be as popular as they used to be?

Can you guys give me some recomendations for good component sets(2 way)/amp combination? I am looking to spend around $600.

Hi i was wondering how these comps sounded what do you guys think about the rms being 50 watts? please let me know. heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/RE-AUDIO-RE6-5COMP-6-1...1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks a lot Billy
