Ive been told through another post I need to stick to Atomics enclosure reccommendation to get the most out of my APX 18 the enclosure info says sub and port displacement is already figured in their equation which is APX18-ported 6.0ft3 (40six10”long) ( 32Hz)=5000w (SB) So do I figure 6 cubes as if it was sealed then do the port to fit their req.? and I dont know how to read thier port rec. I see a 10" long port, 6" wide, but whats the 40. or is it 6" in height? Please help so I can get this box built! Or if someone wants to give me an easy out and tell me exact outside measurements (.75 MDF.) I have up to 50" in width, 25" in height and 19" depth. Thanks guys!!!

Looking at an Oz Audio matrix elite 15 inch subwoofer for $120 pick-up, i will have to drive 2 hours away to pick up. Are these subs any good?

My question is can i use 14g wire to make My subs 2ohm?Then run 12g wire from the Sub to the amp?

I have been up and down on what I wanted to put in my trunk. After some help from others on here I have got a starting point to get some good opinions. If this is still not a good starting point just tell me what I need to do. So I have measured my trunk and found that 34L x 34W x13H would be the largest enclosure I would be able to get in and out of my trunk with out building multiple piece enclosure. So with this new information I have realized that what I wanted to do will not fit in the opening of my trunk. So These are my thoughts of my new direction for my first car audio build. My current sub choices are: -FI BL12d1 x 2 -SA8-v2 x 4 (I would not be against the …

hi guys im wonderin

about a yr ago I bought a couple of used 9500's with the full composite cone. I finally have gotten around too testing one, and I am impressed with the amount of effeiciency, considering how much power one is known to handle. what I am wondering is, if I were to recone them with DD pulp cones would that help warm up the tone a bit? when listening too rap or anything with mostly sinewaves they sound fine. when listening too metal, rock, or classical they sound almost lifeless. so if anyone has had a chance to test them with both cone materials please chime in

what kinda of amp would u recommend putting on a 12'' mag? watts? need some help. i dont wanna under do it or over do it

I thought about painting the basket on my subwoofer. I wonder would preventing the paint to get through the vent windows on the bottom of the basket be a issue when painting the basket of a speaker that is still working. I figured i ask before i try and if it would be bad i would just paint the basket on the avalanche i need to recone.

I've been researching and learning about bandpass design for the past few months and have gotten to where I feel pretty confident in my designs. I have access to many speakers and a lot of wood for testing but would like to get more designs in the streets to get feedback on. If any of you have been thinking about trying out a new box for your vehicle and would like to give bandpass a try please let me know what woofers, how much power (amp model specifically), and your desired goal. Also measurements for your cargo area with details such as does the depth given allow for a rear firing port etc. Hope to get a few of you to bite, I don't think I'll let you down .

I am looking at upgrading the components in my doors and I have narrowed it down to these three components. I cannot demo the 165XL because no one around me has any on their demo board. I am wanting to know what you all recommend as far as midbass and accurate sound reproduction which are the better speakers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyone have experience with RE's SR/SRX lineup? Ready to order sub(s), but have come to a fork in the road: Multiple good subs vs one stronger sub of equal build quality. From what I've researched I could probably feed the SRX's 500w (<600w) a piece just fine; though they're 300rms rated. My thoughts: Wanted to stay under/around the $300 mark for the sub(s) and ~1kw of pow-a. Budget-"ish" build. Could have more cone area and better cooling w/ two subs on equal wattage. A single Q 18 seems loud and clear enough on it's own, from what I gather. I have no 150db targets or some ~ish not competing just knocking music. Big truck = big subs in my head. 15"+ Other factors: …

Okay, so when you wire three subs together, there are always weird impedance numbers. It's never a solid one or two ohm. It's always some strange decimal. Example: So I was wondering, what if you wired, say, two dual 1's together for a 1 ohm load, then wired a dual 2 to a one ohm load and plugged them all into the amp, would the third sub be in phase or all out of wack? I just want to know if this will work out, because then you have all three subs together on a solid 2 ohm load. EDIT: Just to clarify, the 2 dual 1 ohms subs and the single dual 2 ohm sub are wired completely separately and then the two sets of leads are plugged into the amp for a solid 2 ohm load.

Is the X series worth buying?

Simply, can you have too much motor force on a subwoofer driver? If it is application dependent, I am referring to applications where music is being played, and if that isn't specific enough, let's say C&S songs. Decaf, all that stuff. Just curious, thanks!

well i have built some new 15's too go in the rav4, and once i get my alt, i will be throwing the second saz2000d on them. right now i have one of my ultras in there and she does sound freakin good i need too break out the tl before i pull the ultra out though. some build pics and i have some vids that will be ready tomorrow of some of the build, with short explanations of one of my methods. the cones are salvaged from some damaged sdx 15's i have don't mind the pieces of foil that gets removed before the final glue in and in this pic is a stiff paper dust cap i glued first, as the final dustcaps i used were so big around, and the profile is so shallow that they ar…

which sub can get loud with maintaining good sq and which is just overall better. ill be gettin 2 12's they'd be goin in a 4 cube box tunned to 32hz. either would be runnin on a aq2200d amp. so any input?

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...

I bought a pair of 3-way 6x9s (pioneer, not the best, but definately better than the stock 99 dodge stereo), and was thinking about adding another pair under the backseat after i get my sub. Would it hurt to get 2-ways (would it sound bad mixed with the 3-ways). I dont see any reason not to, but maybe im missing something.

So I know that the output of any system is going to be install dependent. However, because I don't have the opportunity to hear any of these subs in person, I was hoping that maybe someone could tell me (read guess) which setup would be the loudest, in general. I am considering running one of the following setups in the trunk of my Sonata. (2) 12" SSDs w/ copper coils sealed with SAZ-1500D (1) 12" loaded BL ported @ 32Hz with SAZ-1500D (1) 15" Q sealed with unknown amp If I can muster the strength to spend more than I really want, I might also consider (2) 12" Qs sealed with 2 SAE-1000Ds. Basically I have decided (arbitrarily) that I would like to play somewhere in the mi…

hey guys new to this site and new to car audio and i just bought 2 mj-18 svc 4 ohm and i want to know what amp out there is the best to push these subs i want something to give them 700 watts a piece or more if they can take them dont really know alot about the car audio game so all the help i can get will be great

Hey guys, so my girlfriends brother has a trans am and is trying to find a sub to go in it. the problem is he doesn't want to lose the t-top space in the back which means no box for a sub. In his car there is a board that seals off the hole where the sub is sitting. When the trunk is shut, it's sealed off. Anyways my question is what's a good sub to use for a set up like this? (10in under $200) (not his trunk, just pic for reference) Thank you.
