Subwoofers / Speakers

I have a huge issue. I want to go with the L8 to get the best mid/midbass and maybe a tweet form HAT but I CANNOT go IB. I can make a pretty big kick, but with my current situation I have to decline on the IB in door. Is this possible? If not, can it be done with a smaller HAT driver? If so how can I git-r-done? I have the sub stage done but mids are what I really really want to shine. Thanks all!

since 1 of my 10s is broken i decided to upgrade as i know a singel 10 wont hold me over lol if anyone wants to buy a single 10" let me know some old school RF! but wait it gets better! theres 2 of them and ill be using my hifonics BXi1606D to power the pair, hoping for a ported box but i might ahve to settle with a sealed one

Hey, its been a while since I've posted here. I've been running a maw-15 ported for the last year or so, and i'm really happy with it. I just got a new car and need to downsize a little, so I was thinking about going with the 12" ixl. THere doesn't seem to be much info out there about them, except the review on here. With higher power handling, higher xmax, and just better quality overall, I'm not too worried about the output or sound quality being any less than my maw-15. Am I right? And what would be a good ported box for these? Thanks

With the BTL being fully loaded and the HD being D2, which has the best ability to create the highest spl in a proper box with 2 Audioque 2200's

4 LV518s and 1 hifonics amp, did a 159.6, not to bad. the loudest its been befor with just the 1 amp in there with other woofers ive tryed is 158.6 so +1 db =]

Ok guys im thinking about getting back into the sound game but not sure whats good any more so im looking for 2 10" subs for a competition set up but that will sound great for daily beating?

I am looking at these two sets of CDT comps are they considered good speakers? EF-61CF/25: or the CL-61i which are a bit cheaper Its either them or I am just going to pick up some PG 6.5s I guess

plz... come back. I want to read things.

looking for direct pricing and team pricing on the 15s and 18s. no one seems available to discuss anything with me

kinda a general question but what is a good sub to run off 400-500 wts rms. want decent sq. i will put it in sealed or ported which ever works best. budget no more than $250

Just got my fi ssd 12 dual 2 with copper coil & bp power. was planning on going with a sealed box an pushing it with an audioque 1200 at 1 0hm. is this a good amp? would it be too many watts for 1 12" going in my f150 super cab. listen to everything but mostly rock. ported box mabey? any suggestions

looking to add subs to my '03 f250 crew cab truck. i found a premade box that has received numerous positive reviews by other f250 owners. the box can fit 3 shallow mount 12s, but im not sure who makes the best ones. i know jl and pioneer make some, but have not heard good reviews about them. what do you guys suggest? here is the box im thinking about getting: http://www.supercrewsound.com/shop/detail/11/269.htm

hey everyone, I have an Fi Q12, in a 2.2 cuft ported box with a memphis prd 1000.1, but i really want more truck space. So i was going to just get a 1.2 cuft box for my Q12. But the new mag seems very interesting. Will the new mag preform better with a memphis prd 1000.1 and 1.1 sealed box then the Fi Q12? Sell my box and fi Q12 to my friend who is in love with my set up and get a 1.1 cuft box and get the new MAG? or. Keep the Q12 and get a 1.2 cuft box thanks

Those who have heard the Hybrid Audio Clarus C61-2, how did they sound? Im referring to tonality, frequency extension (both high and low), general sound characteristics? I have read the review in CA&E and just looking for more personal opinions. It would be great if they could be compared against popular components like Dynaudio, Morel, Rainbow, Hertz, Focal, etc. Thanks ahead for any input

Its getting closer to that time, where the monies is almost ready for installation I ran a search, but didn't find anything. I figured its because they're spl subs, but what would you recommend for this bad boys on a daily setup. Thanks mark and anybody else that contributes.

Well as Sean knows, I've been beating myself up over what speakers to replace my Blose in my 06 Silverado. Some of these questions are truck specific that I know Sean will be able to answer and the rest I'm sure theres a handful of you that can chime in. I finally am deciding on the Pioneer 720prs's but have very little knowledge in what to do for the install. -The bose are 6.5's and the 720's are 6.75's so I'm not sure what I'll need to do exactly to fit the 720's - I have a JL 300/4 and a Avic D3 for the speakers to pair up with, but what exactly will I need to do? Is it as simple as: -take out old speakers, screw in new (or will I need to make a baffle out of MDF …

I just got my hands on a 04' Kicker 15" L7. Some girl was gonna throw this away in the dumpster, so I asked if I could have it. Anyway, I hooked this up to my Zed Mini and it powers up just fine. One thing I did notice is that there is a bit of cone noise (distortion) as if the cone is breaking up. Everything on the sub looks great. The surround spider and tinsel leads all look very new. Is this a normal thing for these subs? I'm not familiar with this model. I'll probably sell it in the near future if it's in good working condition. Any suggestions about my concerns? Thanks.

Major lurker for a while. Love the site. Posted a few times, but I suck. Anyway. I was considering three subs: FI Q, SSA Icon, and SI Magnum (new one). I have a LOT of rap music, and when I play it I of course I want it to sound nice. However, the rap music I like is mostly bay area rap and older rap (94-98) and the bass lines aren't always the Jeezy, Weezy, whatever the hell loud ones. But when I'm cruising solo, I mostly listen to Soul (60s/70s), R&B (classic and contemporary), and Jazz. Listening to this kind of music doesn't usually ring the subwoofer bell for most people, but can a sub be a valuable asset to these genres? Are there any suggestions on how to …

Ok guys, I am ordering subs this week. I still am not sure on which ones or one. No more than $330. Looking at 2 12s, 1 12, or 1 15 in a 06 mustang trunk. Would like to go ported. Audioque, Fi, every brand possible I have looked at and still cant decide. Anyone want to help please. I really need it. Thanks guys. Powering off a Kenwood X1R.

I was on ca.com and saw a set of these for sale and I want to get them. But one of the tweeters is blown. Can I order a new set of tweeters from madisound or somewhere and hook them up to the pioneers passive crossover? Or would it sound bad because the crossover isn't made for those tweeters? I can't go active with them because I only have a 2 channel Sundown but for the price the guys asking I wanted to give these a shot.

I want to upgrade to 1 18 that will be louder than my 2 15's Memphis PR. I was looking at BL, BTL, AQ3, Mach IXL, or maybe even DD but I dont know the prices on those
