Subwoofers / Speakers

Since i'm trading my Bravox to Ryan i need to get something new. I've got a 2 channel Px600.2 JBL amp which is 180x2 and i have a 06 Dodge Ram reg cab. I think i can get up to almost 3.5" of depth with a 5/8" baffle to mount them. They will need to be able to keep up with 2 Eclipse Sw8200's getting 650w each. The Mpyre set looks pretty nice and they are based about 30 minutes from me so i may be able to get them direct. Any other ideas?

been browsing some more known sites known for their technicality and knowledge instead of CA Forum Flame fests. i need some suggestions on which dedicated 7" midbass drivers work best in IB enclosures when installed in properly deadened doors. im looking to spend up to 250$ for the 2 drivers. and the size cant exceed 7", i plan on high passing the midbasses around 65hz - 70hz with a high 24 db slope. and playing them up to 300hz where my cdt hd 4" will take it from there. Will be feeding up to 125 - 130 watts at 4 ohms from a 100.2 sundown amp. I need some driver suggestions but as of now, i hear the following are some respectable drivers. AA Poly's Adire Extremis Peerles…

ive been lurking on smd for a while now and got some DD's about 2 months ago, im happy but they have been a pain in the ass, squishy dust caps, weird sounds on highs and just over all unpleasantness of them, so ive turned my eyes to some new pretty ssd12's i want to keep my m3b seeing i paid a SH** ton for it, would 2 12''ssds be ok on that power(about 1200 each) havent yet clamped it to see but according to the birth sheet at one ohm thats what itd would be. my box dims are about 5.2 net so about 2.6 each at 34hz with a 5 in port 26 inches long. now final statement, would these bad boys handle all this?

Hello to everyone and thanks in advance for any help I may receive. My son has a 98 four door Jeep Cherokee. He has a Pioneer 3100 deck with 6.5 Pioneer speakers in front doors and back cargo area. He has asked for an amp and subs for xmas. Here is where I am an idiot. I have been reading but just can not get a good feel of quality subs. As you can see it is a Cherokee with Pioneer stuff so I am not looking for top of the line. Here are my questions. He wants two 10's, does this sound reasonable for this vehicle? They will be in a box in the cargo area. Also how many watts should he have for good SQ but also get some boom for his friends? He has stock charging system. I …

Picked up a dual behind the seat truck box for $50 for my crewcab f250. its made for 2 10's with (so they say) 5.25 mounting depth and .75 cubes per side. The amp ill be using is a t5002 putting out 900-1000w @ 2ohm bridged. I looking at the SE SR10d2's they have a 5.25 MD and say they work in small enclosures and the ID10v3's with the 5.25 as well. When the box gets here and if I can mod it to fit something deeper maybe 5.75" so the IDQ10v3's or maybe step up to SR12's or the IDQ12v3's might be an option. both say they will work in that small of an enclosure but im looking for real world opinions. (also can always add polyfill, probably will anyways) so basicly How do th…

I need some help deciding on which subs to get. Depending on the load I got two amps I know I want. One is the T20001bd (my first choice) or two Alpine PDX 1.1000 (But that's second on my list). My gold is running 2000 RMS for a pair of twelves. I need some experience to guide me, because I have no way to hear them for my self. So I ask, for your opinions. I have three I picked from some recommendations, and I would like to know which is the best, which one would last longer, hit harder, and be a better investment. FI Q 12" 1000 watts rms SSA Icon 12" 1000 watts rms Alpine Type X 12" 1000 watts rms I'm getting a ported box & I listen to everything, but mostly boomy r…

i have a pair of diamond audio s600 hex 6.5 speakers and recently the tweeters blew....i am using the supplied crossover.....i have tried to find replacement tweets but have had no luck......so my question is does any one know where i could get some or can i use a dif brand thanks.

ok fellaz, i finally got my car and i am about to start my build. (i will make a build log soon) a month or so back you guys helped me decide to go 2 way active and not components, so thats what i am getting ready to do. what i need help with is what to BUY!! time to shop lol i have a sax-100.4 for my amp for the setup. I now own a 2006 gmc envoy. i used crutchfield as my source to find out the size of my front stage speekers witch are 6-3/4". so i need help finding the right mid-bass and tweet. i have been looking at the mli-65 for my mid and no idea on the tweet yet i have no experience with any sets of tweets so any ideas will help! will the mli-65 give me a fitting i…

I am about to have $500 dollars for a new front stage and I need some ideas here. My focal 165A's are ok but I need something with more midbass and isn't so harsh at high volumes. So what would you guys suggest for a new front stage with 500 to spend. I guess they don't have to be comps, I might do 8's with some tweets and x-over. I'm kind of skeptical on doing 8's in the doors b/c I don't have the experience to do a good install like req or others. I could give it a shot I suppose but I would like to hear component setups first.

i need some help im planning on buying a 18 fi bl sub in the next couple days and im going to run it off a hifonics 1606d and i was wondering if i should go with a dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm?......

I've got about 4.5 cubes gross to work with sealed for 3 10s. I have 500w rms per sub. I want it to get loud and also pick up the lows exceptionally well for a sealed box. Would like to keep it around $150 per driver. Subs considered: Mach5 ixl Dayton mkIII Audiopulse epic

im having some trouble making a decision on what size btl i wanna get. i have a 2000 4 door chevy blazer and i wanna try to keep the box height under the back of my seat. it will be ported. i cant make up my mind between 3 of the 12's, 2 15's or 1 18. if i do the 3 12's i can give them about 2.5 cubes a piece after displacement. the 15's would be a bit of a squeeze. the 18 i think would be fine in about 7-8 cubes. i cant decide what i want. im looking for something that i can beat on daily but i still want them to be able to get LOUD cause i do compete at local meca shows. any input would help also if you have some recommendations for other subs for around the same price …

ok guys i am currently running an active frontstage setup with 2 mli 6.5" and 2 infinity 1" dome tweets. it is decent but when i turn on some hard deep bass they cant keep up with the btl the bass drowns out the music part of the song and not so much the words i am starting to build my next project for 2 18" btls so what i am looking for is some ideas for my current setup and my future setup with 2 BTLS i am runnind a sax-100.4 amp for the current active setup there really is no budget atm money is ok right now i just really want the music and vocals to come in real clean when i want to show off the BTL and full tilt thanks an advance guys. again i apprecheate all your g…

Im building a new system and i want to match my sub to my amp i currently have. It will put 1200w rms @ 2 ohms and 1700w rms @ 1 ohm. I was looking at the BL 12 and figured since it had a 1500w rms that it would be a good match. Would u recommend the BL 12 or a different sub to match with my amp

im looking to buy a ssa icon 10" and was wondering which coil to get, copper or aluminum?

Hello everyone. I am looking to get your guys advice and see what kind of suggestions you have on subs. Right now I have a Phoenix Gold 500.2 Amp benched at 530 watts. I was running 2 12" Image Dynamic ID's. 4 Ohm. I am running just a standard box that was sold to me where I bought the subs. Unfortunately, I have blown both of the 12" ID's. I am not sure how because I never turn the Amp all the way up and never mess with the settings on my head unit. Maybe just cause they are 3 years old. I am wondering if you guys think I should go with 1 high quality 12" sub or just go with 2 12" subs again. I am not really looking to be super loud. I just want something that so…

I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish my goals here while maintaining a reasonable budget. i will eventually go higher end, but for now i have other things i need to spend money on. With my original doors in place i was limited to a 6.5-7" midrange and tweeter. I was considering the Seas prestige textile domes for the high end, and the AA Poly's or the ID Oem's from the guy on CA.com that are like tweaked CX64 drivers. New setup was built around DLS Iridium 8.3's with a 8 inch midbass, 3 inch midrange, and 1.1" tweeter. the actual door panel has a sealed enclosure of expanding foam and 1/4" thin birch ply attached, but i will have to cut it apart and reshap…

I just got 2 Fi Q15's with the BP power and put them on an Audioque 2200d amp. I have listed the specs of the system to see if everything is tuned right? Because the subs just are not hitting as hard as I think they should. Specs: Box made of 3/4 mdf. The box is 8 cuft NET tuned to 32hz with 106sqin of port. external dimensions- 43" wide 30" tall 17" deep Port on the far left - 28.5" high 4" wide keep port 4" wide throughout. The right port wall is - 28.5" high x 11.5" deep The port wall to the right of that is 6.25" deep x 28.5" high And here is a pic of the box. Shizzzon came up with this idea for us and it turned out great, he helped me a lot in doing this syst…

Ok guys I got 2 10'' JL w0's (old ones), they beat pretty good in my truck (ext. cab sonoma), but it is time for bigger and better things. My buddy has 3 12'' JL w0's (also old ones) that I am buying, but 2 of them are 4ohm and the other is 8ohm. I have 2 amps to use. I'm not sure if I should run all 3 12's ( 8ohm on one amp and 2 4ohm on the other), or run the 2 4ohm 12's with my 2 4ohm 10's. Either way I will build a sealed enclosure with each one in its own chamber. I'm just open for suggestion. Got alot of stuff and don't know what to do, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

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'm putting in a single maw 10" in a friends CTS. I need some ideas for an amp to push it for under $100. New or used, what cha got?!?!?!

Need some nice quality components running in the range of $300 6x9 for mid range, it would be ran off a sundown 100.4 any ideas?

I need a pair of inexpensive 5.25 for my doors of my explorer. I am gonna have about 60watts per channel. I dont wanna spend over $70 tbh im pretty broke right. The bostons I bought used were blown so I need some door speakers now. What would you recommend? I dont like harsh tweet want more natural sounding. I have had good luck with boston, old school orion, cdt, and image dynamics.

I've been an OZ Audio for the past 13 years. Unfortunately, they are no longer making speakers. I've been looking for a new company to go with as far as speakers and have been hearing a lot of good things about Hybrid. I can't seem to find any specs on the Legatia Pro series? Specifically the 6.5" comp set (or 7.1?). My speaker locations have a very limited outer diameter and mounting depth. Thanks
