Subwoofers / Speakers

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've got 4 of the Morel MW-142's sitting in my garage and I can't help but notice that the 5" 327 component driver looks identical. The Morel MW-142 has a 3" voice coil and is rated at 150 watts RMS as well. The SI 327 driver I'm referring to is the upper right one on this page: http://www.stereointegrity.com/327.html The Morel MW-142 can be seen here: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.c...tnumber=297-020

i have a set of Polk dxi 6.5 components in the front doors of my truck. I really dig the tweets and over all they sound pretty good. ive done a fair amount of deadening and sealing of the doors. They are being powered bye a jl xd400/4 gettin about 75 watts rms. Would it be worth a shot to upgrade the woofers with some thing with a little more extension? Mid bass isnt bad for what they are now,but could be better! is there any limitation of the woofer through the passive xover or does it just block bass from the tweets? An active setup is my ultimate goal so purchasing a better mid woofer is not a bad idea anyway. just wondering if anyone has upgraded a component woofer…

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…

I need help deciding on these.i got a punch 1000bd and it does 811 rms @ 2ohms(this would be for the mj-18s) and 1215@1ohm for the maw 15s.I got the whole bed of my truck for box room.so i could build a little bigger more efficient box for the 18s since my power is a little low.I got plenty for the 15s,i was just considering the 18s because ive never had 18s and i like LOW bass.no contests just me listening and maybe a little showin off at work.Which would be better for my taste.18s would be awesome if i got enuff to power them.but if the 15s would be louder with 400 more watts than the 18s i may go that route.ive emailed mark at mach 5 and havent gotten any responses.tha…

Well the title states it all. Im looking for one 12 to put in a sealed fiberglass box. For power I have a sundown sae-1000d and i have up to 2 cubic feet to work with. i was thinking of running a ssa icon in 1.2 cf. Anybody have any other suggestions?

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…

Will there be more components produced? I so much want to get my hands on the 327`s. If you still can make these it`d be great to receive them along with a T-shirt And as i understand, a lot of SI products are ordered from UK lately. Seems the Audi A2 with the Baz-box has caught attention

I am installing a system for a friend in an older Monte Carlo. He has an Alpine head, US Acoustics US 2200 (old zed amp) and a prefab 12" enclosure on the small side, I need to measure but I am guessing .75cf per driver. His budget is $200 for 2-12" Subwoofers. I have found the following and want your input on which one would deliver more output. He listens to a lot of Hip Hop. Kicker 07CVR124-2-Pack (2subs_07cvr124) - 12" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix REF-TM12.4 - Image Dynamics 12" Dual 4 Ohm OEM Tidal Audio Subwoofer Both subs handle 400rms and both can be had for under $200 for a pair. Any input is appreciated. I have heard the CVX's but have never heard of Tidal. I…

for SPL and the sub that hits the low notes the best in a ported box seeing 1000 rms.

Well ive decided to take the TC9 and recoen it to an 18. im hopping to get the hook up and learn how to recone speakers the right way. as for the e12a coen and coil. Would it be possible for me to remove the surround and spider all surgery like and put a new on on and sell it? i know putting a new surround on a cone is easy, spiders, however, i dont know. Ideas?

What size box is recommended for 1- 10" Brahma Mk1? Its going to be a ported box.

I'm currently in the process of moving my 12" Mag D2 from my Mustang to my Rav4. In my Mustang, the Mag is in a 2.5 ft^3 Ported box tuned to about 32 Hz and powered with a Massive P1000.1 that's rated at 880 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. When it goes into the Rav4, it's going to be in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box. I'm planning on using the same amp. But my buddy has a Massive P1500.1 amp that's rated at 1250 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I can buy it from him. I'm sure 880 Watts is good to power the Mag in a sealed enclosure, but I was wondering if the extra 370 Watts would give the Mag more output that's is audiable in a sealed box. And would a Mag want more power in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box?

So I'm coming from a Q, it's in about 2 cubes and tuned to 30hz. I'm powering it with an MD2 being a bit conservative on the gain. The output is pretty good for a twelve in a trunk car and the lows are thunderous, but I want something that will also play the upper frequencies 45-60 a bit louder than the Q does. Lookin for something with the same punchiness of the Q also. Probably looking at 2 12's sealed, I think I'll be satisfied with the output there and I can turn it down if needed. Only subs I've considered were the SE and the SSD w/ a copper coil, possibly the TC-9 too. Any help/suggestions are welcome, I'm open to anything.

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

im interested in buying 2 level 4's. and i was wondering if a 2000d would be enough power? i know it would be right on there rms, but every system i've seen has them on 3000 watts+. i know its probably a noobie question but thats okay. lol

Have a box for a different sub i'm running right now, wanted to know if i could expect good low end bass from a 12 d2 in a 2.1 cube box tuned at 30 hz before driver displacement.. I would be feeding it ~700w daily. I'm a deep bass junkie, but i had to get rid of my HC 15, and need something in a 12" driver that can get LOW in a box no bigger than 2.1 cubes ported, 2.3 cubes sealed and shallow (12" would be my only option from SI). I can get more power, i was wondering if i could just plug the D2 into my box as i don't really want to make another one, it's quite a pain because it's not square. I suppose i could take the backseat out of my Wrangler again, but that won'…

Kind of like the title says, I want to get an Fi Q 12 with all the options in a sealed box, 1.25cu ft. I already have the box made. The amp is a rockford bd1500, does 1500w rms at 2ohms. The amp will be ran off a high to low level converter and I know it looses some signal, but not sure if that will effect the wattage output. I just dont have to have one of these subs built only to smoke it shortly after. Some people suggest not more than like 1250w rms, but i though maybe with the extra options and the fact the amp is off high level inputs if it would be 'safe'? I emailed Fi almost a week ago but they never emailed back. Thanks for any input.

okay, that part I get, but does it have to be the SAME sub? make/model? I'm thinking of mixing RE SE 12 and JL 12w6v1's of all things. Each pair would be in their own ported enclosure, separate chamber, common box thing. Asking for trouble?

hey guys....new here and i just bought a pair of NIB SA-12s from a member on here as well as a MB Quart DSC1500.1...... i am about to start building a box in the next few days and using the box calculator this is what i come up with.....seems to fit the parameters of the subs well and from what i have been reading i think i am pretty close.....just wanted some opinions and some input from some of you guys first before i go ahead with it.... the dimensions below are kinda all i have to work with....i have a 2009 Jeep wrangler unlimited and wanna stay in the back under a cover.....basically i have 36x15x22......i wanna do a slot ported box..... thanks

I am looking for a 12" or a 15" sub. I want it to be daily. I dont want it to require to much power beacuse i dont want to upgrade alt and run another battery. I listen to rap. I can make a box up to 6 cubic feet. I want it to get loud and boomy.

i can get a pair of koda 6.5 inch components with the tweets and crossover for 175 bucks.. i want something with good midbass but i dont want only midbass. does that sound like a good deal? i had been thinking about the rainbow dreamlines for 300 but i dont know how they compare to the kodas, have heard good things about both but never a comparison. they'll be going in sealed kickpanels in my 87 trans am

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

Ok guys here's my situation I'm debatign between 2 12's or 2 15's D2's I have plenty of space and power and this is going in my 05 ext cab silverado which would you pick ? 2 12's or 2 15's My power on tap is a orion 2500D and i have about 10 cubes to toy with.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get one of the new BM baskets by itself? also would it acccept a quad coil cone (doesnt look like it so thought id ask) and if the answer to both of those are yes then can i get the specs on it (to see if it will even fit my application
