Subwoofers / Speakers

Hello, I'm in Alberta. Been looking at a few manufacturers in the USA. I was planning on two AudioQue HDC3 18s.. but its gunna cost over $800 dollars to get the two to me, including the cost of the woofers. Mach5 is alot closer. I heard about Mach5 from a guy on CanadianCarAudio, who suggest one of the MLI-65 for a computer subwoofer. I've been looking at the MJM-18. I really do wish I had a larger budget. Original plan was 6. But the cost of the woofers themselves, wiring, alternator, batteries, and the rest of the audio gear I need for my truck... its gunna go over my budget.. I have a budget of at least 1200 for my whole stereo, but probably not more than 1500, but may…

i decided to put this in the right forum section this time. my question is which sub would be better suited for me. ive got a gmc sonoma ext. cab and im wanting 2 15's ported but i want something thats gonna be loud but sound good doing it. any help is appreciated

alright dilemma time and I need some help. right now Im looking at running two fi 18 bls off a audioque aq3500d in about 12 cubes so my question is is that too much power for them fully loaded any other sub suggestions would be greatly appreciated p.s Im 16 and money is tight so keep that in mind

ok i have a 2008 hyundai tiburon it has a hatchback like an eclipse I am planning on putting 1 12" RE XXX in it for streat beat but it is the 2006 model can any one help me with a choice of a amp to push it and a box for it thanks

lately i've heard quite a few bigger name companies have used various TC sounds motors on their own sub lineups, and i'm wondering, is it possible to salvage the motors (and baskets?) to recone these subs? If so, which models should i be looking out for? I know Eclipse used some in their Ti and 8200 range, and Lightning Storm, Ground Zero etc, but i think Eclipse are going to be the easiest to track down. Also, who can recone these, and to what size? I've found that Fi can recone them in this thread, but it looks like their baskets arent a great fit for most motors. Any help appreciated guys

Here ya go fellas... picking up where we left off on our threadjack Triple titanium reinforced heavy duty hinges you got there??? Mind telling us how you have those all wired up? And you say on 1k on each driver or per door?

I have been looking at the Loaded SSA Icon, the Fi Bl, SI Mag, and a couple other subs but cannot decide on a size. I want to keep most of my cargo are in my Durango, but want to ensure that my sub will get plenty loud. Will a single 12 with 1,200-1,600 watts be up to the task of getting loud or should I sacrifice a little more room and go with a 15? Also, I would like to be able to run sealed if possible but ported will be fine, retain some SQ, while feeling it in my chest, if possible. Any help would be great.

Ok I have a basket out of a 12 and a motor out of a 10 I wont to use together to make it a way better 12 then get it reconed. I was able to unbolt the motor for the 12 but I still can

I'm still pretty new to the car audio world and often found myself curious about the makeup of a subwoofer and how all the parts work together. After reading conversations about cones, spiders, baskets, vent plugs, poles, etc I was thoroughly confused. I'm sure some other ppl feel/have felt the same way. Hopefully this can be as helpful to others as it has been for me... --> http://www.electronichouse.com/article/ana...f_a_driver/C201 Once you read all the verbage, click on "view slideshow" and there are a few exploded views of a subwoofer. There's still a lot more to learn, but I think this is a decent foundation to building some decent subwoofer knowledge.

What is the difference. Everybody is writing about it. I have a pair of Focal 165 vrs and a pair of 130cvx's in stock locations running with a sax 100.4 so what would be the difference between active and passive. I haven't gotten them installed yet but next week they will be so.

posted a thread on ca.com, thought i would mirror it here. excuse the copy paste, if you have any questions/pic requests, lmk, and ill do my best! Alright.. I got the oppertunity to purchase a damaged in shipping M5 spl15 from Mark himself for a STEAL. As it was damaged in shipping, it obviously needs a recone (actually, i am turning this one and another damaged in shipping spl 12 into custom 18's, so..) so i tore it down tonight, without causing damage to the softparts. and thought some of you may care (i have seen a few posts/questions in the last few days wondering about the quality of the m5 stuff) Before i start with the pics- yes i am a mach 5 "fanboi". Marks price…

Ok so I was moving some stuff around in the shops storage to make space when I found this I know it

Alright guys.... decided im going to try sq (me doing sq is... new ) I am REALLY wanting to use the ixl 10's in a sealed box (3 10's, actually) Mark recommended .5 cuft sealed each. now, how much power per sub would be needed? is 500 each enough? more/less? Any other suggestions? comments?

For those who have bougth DC Sound Lab products. I am a witness to the dedication to keep us happy w/ their excellent service. Due to clipping from my amp my tinsel leads on my lvl4 12's had burned. Emailed Rusty Flowers, he told me to send them back, to be reconed. Shipped them off and they were back in no time, w/ no cost to me. Just thought I would point this out to show my gratitude and acknowledge a job well done' along w/ a good sense of business held by this company. Thanx Rusty and big upps

can someone tell me the general frequency ranges for each speaker or is it personal preference? thanks guys -tweeter -midrange -midbass -subwoofer

Well, the issue I am having is that I am running the component set off of a Sundown SAX 100.2 2-channel amplifier which is rated at 100watts x 2 channels @ 4-ohms. The issue I am having is that I have the gains on this amplifier set at 1/3 of the way, the volume on the HU is at 26/35(roughly around 75%), volume offset at +3db's, and the EQ settings on a preset setting. No loudness on the Ipod EQ or the HU EQ. So I decided since I must be exceeding the tweeter's power handling that the amplifier must be outputting atleast over 20 AC Volts(= 100watts at 4-Ohm). So I took a DMM down to amplifier speaker outputs and decided to see how much voltage was being sent to the compon…

are these $36.00 a piece or as a pair??? thanks Brian

How are these things? I know not many people like Hifonics but has anyone delt with these

Going with a CDA-9887. What is the lowest the C1 can go safely?

Really would like a pair of IXL 10s but I'm not liking the D2 coils. Any chance of some D1 or D4s? Sure would make running a pair on the likes of a 1500D more enjoyable. I'm sure they don't need 750 each, but the headroom would be nice.

So I just recently put in some new passive comps in my car powered by about 70 watts rms and they just arnt cutting it anymore right now i have an Alpine cda9886 and infinity kappa conponents and an mtx 2 channel. I want to go active the deck would probably be changed to the alpine cda 9887 and i would need a 4 channel amp (suggestions are very welcome) or a 5 channel(under 200 for the 4 channel or 400 for the 5 channel). I was looking at the mach5 Mli-65's in the door but i dont have any idea what tweeters to go with i dont like very harsh tweeters, and any other suggestions you guys would have would be so helpful. …

Im curious to know if my MLI-65 mids will play well from 3khz and down (with a 18db slope) Im going to pair them up with Vifa D26NC05 Tweeters thanks

i was searching around and i ran across the mag i heard it get loud sound good and only need less than 2 cubic ported so now i can have my four 15's:D now i guess i can have my cake and eat it too lol....anyone have any experience with the older versions?

well i have a eclipse 8808 sub ( three actually) that had some kind of short were the voice coil leads are soldered to the terminal leads. this has been awhile now so i decided to cut it apart and when i got to a fresh part of the vc leads i was able to see the coil was still good so i cut off the coil as close to the cone as i could mainly to save for dimensions. well i decided to order a rockford fosgate he recone to give it a whirl. the mounting locations for the surround and spider are perfect, but the coil is way to short, and a little to large at its outside diameter. so i am attempting to graph the eclipse coil onto thr rockford fosgate former. i can't glue anythin…

So i recently borrowed some l5's from a friend, but they only have 1 set of voice coils. The magnet has a sticker that says kicker l5 dual 4ohm front says kicker and is square. There is holes on the other side of the basket for more terminals*the gold colored screw things that you put the wire in* looking on the sub there is no spiders or anything for a 2nd coil, any ideas?? thought all of them were dual 4
