Subwoofers / Speakers

still diggin around on front stage ideas on my system and was wondering if anyone is familiar and can explain thier sound with 2 models that have caught my eye. the first being an 8" Aurum Cantus AC-200MKII and the second being a 5" Jantzen JA-5006 All replies appreciated in advance, thanks...

Can anyone help me out. I have a 2002 S-10 ext. cab and for my sub amp I have a Infinity 611a which is around 650 watts @2ohm. I want to use 3 RE RE-10D4 but someone suggested 2 SR-12D2. I listen to a lot of rap bass heavy music and I just sold my L7 12 for a CVX 12 then I found RE. The reason for wanting to use those subs is $. I can purchase either setup for $150. Will the 3 10's or 2 12's output match the L7 or CVX ? I need some serious help with this and what type of box, sealed or ported. Thanks

For purely academic purposes, imagine a ported enclosure tuned with 2 aeroports. If the aeroports were different lengths...and therefore different tunings, what would the net result to the listener be? Would the box only keep one tuning?...would the tuning freq be "spread out"?...would space/time warp and fold back on itself thereby negating this whole exercise? Thanks

Hey guys here's the plan. Don't worry about box size, trunk in the cad is huge. I want to run 2 or 4 subs, 15s or 12s. Power isn't a concern, I've got tons of Helix B Ones in the shop to use. What are some cheap subs to run to get as much as I can on music for daily and customer demo. I'm talking cheap. I've got 2 Hifonics HFI12d4's around the shop and they're available but don't know if I'm going to use them. Budget is $200 MAX, the cheaper the better.

i was thinking lately that mabye my box is to big and open? i have a 12 inch d2 in a 3.0 tuned to 28 now i am thinking something like a 2.0 tuned to 34 would be better for me. it really is deep bass heavy were only a few songs go. would a higher tuning and a smaller box be better?

Ive got 2 10 inch kicker comps....from around 1995 In a box...30 x 12 x 12 I know the box is small...and sealed but i wanna get some 10 that get low and loud...not looking to spend more than 350 for a pair..i was gonna use the box till i got the cash to build a ported one for the subs Fi SSD TC Sounds OEM10 Kicker CVX Alpine Type R 10 http://sonicelectronix.com/item_9235...S-W2501D4.html http://sonicelectronix.com/item_7210...0W3v2D2+-.html http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=16852 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...t=account_name http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=3504 those are some others about a week ago...i was set on 2 mach5 maw15s...b…

my friend is wanting to get a new sub and doesnt wanna spend alot of money probably no more than 150 on the sub and it needs to be around 600 watts rms. the sub will be more for sq than anything i found this one but not sure about it. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13201_...dio+KMX-10.html if yall have any ideas to throw out there go ahead let me know and it needs to be a ten inch. thanks

As most of you know I unloaded my xcons below tuning and did some damage. Only one had visible damage and I corrected that with some devcon epoxy. Now that they are both back in and playing my wife and I both agree that they have lost output. Is this possible? Could I have done enough non visible damage to the soft parts that they would lose noticeable output? I assumed they might be a little sloppy now from stressing the spiders, but to lose output? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys! I have another sub comparison question for you. I'll try n' give you as many details as I can and you let me know what your closest estimations might be for them! Overall: Both of these set-ups will be going into a 1995 Honda Accord electrical system is up to par to be running the 1200 rms Current set-up: 18" Fi BL Daily Loaded 1200 watts RMS 5.5 cu ft Box ported @ 32Hz Questionable Set-up? 2 x 15" MAW's 1200 watts RMS for them total 5.8 cu ft box ported @ 30Hz what set-up do you guys think will be better? I'm gearing more in terms of SPL. but like if you had to pick between these, which would you find more suitable to you? im a bit of a basshead when I decide t…

this just in, just found out today when i got some new h2's in, they changed the surround to a foam style surround that is taller. I was like wtf, whats this all about, and emailed my buddies at tech support to find out. my questions: whats the deal with the new surround on the h2's? any advantages? Reason for design change? They seem to look like they will allow more excursion, but thats all from looks. shane his reply: More power handling, and greater excursion, 32mm now ohhhh, cant wait to test!!! got someone testing at sbn, hehehe. will have pics soon.

I see that the recommended enclosure is 2.0 ft^3 tuned to 29hz for the 12" D2. I want about 50/50 with sq and spl...so yeah, i want LSQ . What difference would a bigger box (about 3 or 4 cubes) make? What should I tune it to? I will be running 1000w to it @ 1ohm. This is my first car audio system so bare with me here . I appreciate your help guys! Thanks, -harrison

Hey guys lookign for some insight. I have a 2002 lincoln ls, i was looking at (4)10 inch BL subs or(1) 15 inch sub built to specs both set ups on a saz-1500 or saz-2000. Budget not really an issue. The enite trunk is going to be used no spare tire. Which one Would you choose? Recommendation also welcome

Hey guys, I have a dilemna. I have the room to fit any size sub, but i don't really know the pro and cons of each size. The amp is either going to be 1500d or a alpine 1000 watt. The 8 inch subs will either be rl-i 8's or RE 8's. The enclosure is going to be an infinite baffle downfiring kinda like this: *pic of shimajer on e46fanatics (hope he doesn't mind) Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm building a box for a S8L7 sub and had a few questions. I want to make the largest reccomended sealed box which is .75 cubic feet for this sub. now, a 12x12x13.25 box with .75 thickness would give me 0.74967 cubic feet which would be dead nuts for what I want. now is the .75 reccomended volume including the volume that the sub will take up or do I have to make the box volume .75 plus the sub volume? Also when calculating the wedges, Kicker reccomends a 2x2x.75 wedge. correct me if I'm wrong, but I calculated the wedge volume to be .0017 cubic feet. Where should I put the wedges? are they required in every corner? thanx... dan

I had a 12" Fi BTL off a 2500D Soundstream Rubicon in my previous car. It sounded great, but got used to that. Now looking to upgrade. Did a cardboard mock-up in my new car (2005 Civic) and trying to decide what subs to go with. I'm looking for a lot of air movement, hitting deep, and sounding clean. Was thinking 2 x Fi Q 15's. What do you think? Would like to keep total power of both subs combined under 2000RMS. Dimensions, minus the angle..Looks to be about 3.5cuft per sub after displacement. Quick question, when I move the port to the middle would I have 14" of length on each side or 7" on each side per sub? Layout will be like this, common chamber.

i was wondering what subs would be the best for loudness and i am looking at the these three subs: 2 12" Fi Bl, 2 12"kicker L7, or 2 12" jl audio w3v2 which one would sound the best and i am willing to build my own box and im going to buy a sub that will power whatever sub i buy

Whats involved with making a component set? Somebody told me I could find the parts I'd need on Parts Express... If somebody could explain the crossover would help me. I don't understand which I'd need.

well just like it says which would I get the most output? By the way I would be useing one of the DP or BTL's or two of the mojo's. the box is approx. 11cf gross power will be atleast 4k. Out of the 3 choices I only have experience with the BTL (with cooling only)and am very pleased but would like more. If there is something else to consider then let me know also with an amp suggestion I have been leaning towards a stetsom. thanks mcbuggin

All of these would be powered off a Sundown SAZ-2000d in 4.5 cubes tuned to 33hz. Was just curious about this because I'd like to eventually get an SUV and would like to do one of these setups. I know this is a matter of opinion, but I'd like to see how many opinions lead more towards what out of curiousity. RE Audio MX 15 DC Level 4XL 15 SSA Xcon 15

is $330 good price for a AA mayhem 15 shipped i ask him if the cone was stiff or loose he said the middle so does that mean its not fully broken in to? he had two of the subs on a 5k powerbass at 1ohm for about 6 months its a dual 1 reading .9 on both coils

I just wanted to wish Jacob Fuller a very Happy 21st birthday today...Enjoy it THOROUGHLY...and I will most definitely throw one back for ya....

After slowly coming to a point in my life where I realize that dreams don't come with money to support them, I decided to stray from my initial craving for the Wardens and go for something i can afford before i'm 40. The plan consists of (2) MJ18M woofers tuned around 26 to 28 hz. The goal is Spl, but not at the expense of the low lows. I listen to alot of chopped & screwed music and like that ability to hear every note. The front stage is most likely going to be a SAX-100.4 on some Focal comps. I recently got a hookup for some decent deadener; almost free actually. i will do two runs of 0/1 for positive and the same for ground. Looking at a powermaster for up front a…

I got a new car and it has 3 speakers in the door. i have 6.5" and tweeter and need 4" should i GULP (so much $$$$) buy the right cross over and the 4" speaker for over $500 or put a 4" and make it my rear. if i make my 4" a rear i will need a new amp. unfortunately I'm looking at $500 eathar way i think, maybe not Will a 3 way blow my mind or 2 way with rear be as good? my specs right now: Head Unit: Alpine W200 Subwoofer: SI 15" Mag Sub Amp: Cadence A7+HC 1200@1Ohm Mids: CDT Eurosport ES-620 Mids Amp: HiFonics Son of Boltar 150x2@4Ohm Battery: Kinetik Power HC1800 Rear Speakers: none Everything is in a box as i plan my setup in new car

First, let me just say that I don’t know much about car audio. 95% of people on here would put me to shame so forgive me if what I’m asking is impossible. But I do know a fair bit about audio in general since I do a little mixing music on the side. So here’s what I’ve been recently thinking about… I have a system, with ONE 12” Eclipse Titanium in a ported box tuned to about 30hz. My sub hits the lows real good up until around 60hz, but doesn’t pick up anything above that. Check this link to hear what my system picks up (it’s a clip of a song that I filtered the music out of and just left the bass that my sub picks up…you may not be able to hear it on your computer speaker…
