Subwoofers / Speakers

i was thinkin about gettin 2 of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6885_Beyma+POWER+12.html in this box in my next truck http://caraudiofactory.com/20002003-ford-f...nfire-p-54.html what do you guys think of that? according to the sites ive been on it need .7 cu ft of airspace, but i just wanted to know if beyma is a decently built product, b/c the specs on that sub seem pretty impressive

ok I have two dual 2 zcons and I just built a new box for them. I have them wired in series to achieve a 2 ohm load. They are resting at 2.1 ohms with a straight reading. I put the new box in hooked them up to the amp and played it for 20 seconds or so and instantly notice the no good smell. So i went back and felt the woofers to see if the dustcaps were hot or warm and one was extremely hot and the other was as if it wasnt even played at all. What I have done so far. I have pulled off the wires and checked each individual coil and it all reads a perfect 2.2ohm per coil. I am curious if my speaker wire lengths all need to be the same being that the amp is a mono im not …

Trying to finish up the installation of two Havoc 15's in my truck, things didn't go too well as I had to mount and then dismount the subs 4 times till things finally fit right in the box and then in my truck. On the last time I accidentally dropped the screwdriver as I was screwing it in and the handle fell in, onto the full cone-sized dustcover cap creating a 3/4" long crack and wrecking my mood for the rest of the install. I'll post pics when I get over it, or drink enough not to care about material things anymore. In the meantime, is there anything I should/can do about this?

has anyone had any issues with the dustcaps? my zcons cap just flew off today outa no where. im assuming because it was plastic? im not sure but the subs have a fresh recone kit less than 2 days old and bam. i was kinda pissed blaming the recone first but it was so eaily fixed im not considered at all. nothing a littl 2 part epoxy couldnt handle! anyway just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue

I have been running my IA Death Row 12 for about 4 months now. It is in a 2.1 cu ft box tuned to about 30 hz. I like how it sounds and like its output. I recently took a trip home (7 hrs) with my car loaded and thought what if I had to change a tire. I wouldn't be able to get my spare out without taking the box out. My backseat was also full of stuff and would have had to set the box out in the snow. I have been thinking about running two tens that work really well in small boxes. I have heard the Dayton subs and really like how they sound. Very clean and detailed bass. My only thing is that I do not want to lose much output by removing my Death Row for something…

Hey, im just wondering if anyone has a 15" audiobahn. so i can know what you think about it.

So i have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe. My enclosure is around 3.9 cubes net at 30hz, i know its mall (mostly port... I had an Fi Q 15" dual 1 on a Soundstream Dtr 1.3400 (3400 rms @ .5 ohm/ 2200 @ 1) and metered 146.7@45hz. I got a second Q and did 148.1 wired at .25 ohm @45hz. I later dropped a BTL 18" dual 2 in the same box and now i meter 145.8 @48hz on 2200 rms. But the 18" sounds extrmely louder than the 2 Q's.. But i would expect it from a lower peak freq.? The Tahoe flexes alot more but wouldnt that make of a lower peak? Any input on this is apreciated. Thanks

So I got my 2 sets of 6.5s for my envoy the other day in the mail. But the weather sucks andi have no garage or expertise in installing then.... so anyone around kokomo with a garage and tools feel like helping me out??? Lol

Was honestly curious how the xcons line up with the fi q's. I always hear great things about both, was just looking for input on how they compare from someone who knows more than me. Which I imagine is about anyone here. Thanks in advance!

my problem is this. I want spl, i have a ext cab truck. and i want it all to be under my seat, im having a downfire dual l7 sealed box built. what kinda spl am i talkin pushing 1k rms to each 2 ohm L7?

does anyone know the length of a fi bl coil? im building my own sub and would like to use an fi bl coil and soft parts. also the coil is 3inch right?

So i had 2 l7 12s under my back seat... it was weak... so i took the backseat out and i told my buddy brian to build me a box (brian owns and manages evolutiuons car audio Lone Grove, OK) but anyways, i was expecting a huge box, instead he said 2 ported boxes at 3.3 cub would create the loudest setup at all possibilities. ill be pushing the l7s with a kicker 1500.1 zx. how loud am i looking? as far as DB wise... and was his plan correct??

Has anyone experienced with different sealed box sizes for a MAg 12.....i have my Mag in a ported box now (2.75 cubes tuned to 35hz....and before it was in was 2.32 cuft tuned to 32hz) and i think i am going to see what the MAG will do sealed cause i would like a smaller box. I would like to know how the sound of it changes as the sealed box gets bigger and smaller.... BTW....this is right now powered by a ZR360 (530 watts) and may be down the road powered by a ZR600(~800 watts) if i ever get it fixed. So what size sealed box in the .5 to 1.5 cuft sealed box range has been best for ya'll NICK......CHIME IN!!! Scott, SC

So I just bought an Alpine Type-R 12" sub (dual 4 ohms). I had it wired at 4 ohms initially, because I was trying to "break it in" like I was told over and over. I wired it down to 2 ohms after a few weeks to get the full power, and after a few days, it took a shit. I'm not quite sure why. The wiring was done professionally too. My amp (Alpine MRP M500), is essentially perfect for the sub, and the box was 1.94 cubes (recommended is 1.0 - 2.0). I don't know what happened. So if anyone might have an idea why, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. This was my first sub; I'm 16, and I can't go out and buy a new one whenever I like. And this is off topic, but it's a big concern as well…

What’s up guys I’m sitting at checkout w/ Two SSA Zcon 18’s and needed some help w/ their impedance options... I’m choosing to go with the Standard Dual 2’s and wondering if anybody knew what the standard 2’s will actually read on a DMM before rise? Only asking because I know SSA’s standard dual 1’s actually read 0.7... So I’m assuming the dual 2’s actually read 1.7 right? ...Help meh please lol

So, I was browsing around on Parts Express, and found these.... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=296-220 ...I am sure from the $170 (each) price tag they are some amazing little drivers, but still the specs amazed me...12 mm Xmax and supposedly flat response from 40-20000 Hz...in a 3" driver...CRAZY!

hi everyone, i want to upgrade my current subs into something with more SPL, and SQ if possible OVERVIEW: -2 12" pioneer ts-W308D4 rated 400 wrms per-sub -Hifonics BXI-1210D, 1 ohm load to subs, so subs are seeing 1200 wrms, 600 wrms per sub -both subs are in a ported box that looks like this Dual ported sub box so which set of subs should i get that can actually take 600 wrms per sub? Starting from budget subs to higher grade? if i bought 2 kicker 08 CVR 15" to use for my amp, would my setup be louder and deeper than my 2 12"s? thanks for the feedback everyone

Hey all, a few questions before I buy one off Dave (troublestarter). 1. How will this sub sound in 3cuft tuned to 33hz ? 2. Will it sound good off 800wrms class a/b ? Is that enough power ? 3. Do they do them in D2 flavour ? Im looking for something that will do around 135db on a TL or better, but also great sq for my ambient electronica when I turn the subwoofer level down to around 3 on the P77MP. So basically a jack of all trades. I wanted a level 4 however I dont have enough power for one, and dont want to clip it or change to dirty class D power! Thanks

Anyone have any idea around how much these are going for? Also anyone know a online store to purchase them from?

Just thought I'd mention a new kid on the block for home audio loudspeakers and projects. Mike, another DIYer who likes to do things himself decided to take things public and help spread the (free) word about how much better we can make our systems sound. Take a moment out to check his site - http://speakerhobby.com/index.htm He has a forum as well where you guys can share speaker projects of any design using any brand. Cool stuff! Best, Mark

ok I have my decision narrowed down to a few choices, I am looking for LSQ more sq though, these will be ported and on a sundown SAZ-1500D amp, I will use my entire trunk if possible(15.7cubes) I dont have any electrical upgrades and think the only ones i'll need with 1500wrms will be a new battery and the big 3, but yeah the choices are either 2 RD sonance 15"s, or 2 RD classic 15"s, or a SI new MAG 15"s, also if you think of any other sugesstions feel free to write them down, thank you

my friend was lookin to get some subs in his stang. his cousin suggested DD's and he found some 1510s for 140 a piece. he wants a good sounding sub and still be able to break 140. ive never personally delt with DD and was looking for some opinions on how these sound and how loud they get. thanks

I was thinking of taking the subwoofer out of my room and putting it in my truck(temporarily) until I buy my stuff I want. It has an RCA' and positve and negative wire. I was thinking connect the power to my remote wire, the negative to the ground and RCA to RCA. Is this a really bad idea? or what? Thanks guys
