Subwoofers / Speakers

I am really looking forward to getting my first system... Right now...im pretty set on a headunit...probably a kenwood(KDC-MP735U) or pioneer(DEH-P59000IB) But im looking heavily into Subs....Mainly the Mach 5 IXL(12.2 and 10.2) and the SSA Icon...i know there isnt a HUGE fan base for these subs but as far as getting loud...and sounding decent which is better...because i could spend 300 and get two IXL 10s but i would end up spending more money in the electrical system... I saw the Fisher Customs has a good box/woofer deal with the Icons.... All in all i want some clarity and some bass...but i dont wanna use my whole trunk up...thanks!

just wanted to know when we could hope to get specs. the subs look sick

have you got any figures for xmax on the DC LEVEL 5's yet please ? specifically the 12 and 15, shouldnt make much difference either way..

with shipping the hdc3 is 339 and the bl with the ups i need will also be 339. i am getting the hdc3 with copper coil... if thats what i get. i have an AQ2200 amp so i am wanting a pair of 18s.... i have been told great things about both subs. i had a BL a month ago and it was great. but i want to be smart about this and get what is best for what i am going to be doing to my car. the hdc has a xmas of 17-19 mm were the bl has like 21 i think. the bl also has a higher sensitity of 92.6 and the hdc3 has a sensitivity of like 89.something but just because it has a higher xmas and sensitivity does it mean it will be louder? i am going to buy a pair of 18s but which one of the…

Any ideas when this is coming out ? How will it compare to the JBL GT5 Series ? I have two projects going on atm, one is ultimate SQ, and one is a walled boomer, im from the UK so the way we do it is like, 10 12's. Thanks

I have a 15 inch Fi SSD with a bout 800 watts going to it. I want to get some front 6.5 components that will be able to keep up with it. I have a kicker 150.2 amp so that should be able to do about 100 watts x 2. Budget around 100 dollars but I will go higher or lower if its worth it.

hi, i am going to be install mli 65 in the rear of my truck and there is a hole for them so there are going to need to be in a small sealed or ported enslcure ( i havent decided) and these are the tweeters i am going to be using. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466 and i am wondering what is the recommend cubic feet for them for midrange ( up to around 3k hz but i would like as much midbass a possable.

i have some dayton rs180's ( 7 in.) that i recently purchased. my car takes 6x8's up front and 6x9's in the rear. other then using a piece of wood to mount the speakers what other method could i use that will give me some clearance and also allow me to install the speakers so that they do not come in direct contact with the door. i have heard of adapters but i do not know if they will help me in my case. these are the speakers specs: Specifications: *Power handling: 60 watts RMS/90 watts max *VCdia: 1.5" *Le: .90 mH *Znom: 8 ohms *Re: 6.4 ohms *Frequency range: 40-2,200 Hz *Fs: 38 Hz *SPL: 87.6 dB 2.83V/1m *Vas: .88 cu. ft. *Qms: 2.00 *Qes: .47 *Qts: .38 *Xmax: 6 mm *Dime…

so i have a trailblazer. im looking for a 15 0r 18 inch sub that will be mainly used for rap. enclosure size is not much of an issue. my limit is about $500 for the sub. i need more of an spl sub for a daily driver. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks ahead ps. please spell out the brands, i have no idea what the initials stand for. thanks

We cant decide on what to run on these bad boys (2 of them). So, I wanted to get your guys input. Electrical will be there no matter what we dicide. Mark recommands 1500 watts for daily usage. We were going towards burps w/ a sundown 3000d but now I don't know. dont really want to kill the subs and knowing my bro, he'll drive around with it cranked up. What you guys think?? All amps will be concidered except lanzar and the other suckages. thanks homies

Hey guys. I have the Kenwood Excelon X1R amp and am looking for some new subs to put in the trunk. I have really been looking at AudioQue. I like the way there stuff looks and the prices. Its looking like 2 12 Sdc2.5's in a ported box (if the room is available). I was wanting to see any other suggestions for 2 12s in the range of 300-350 and also wondering who has had experience with these and if they were loud for spl. Thanks

what kinda audio EQ can i get from japan that would be costly here but cheap there..... i have zenon... the company that makes RD audio amps.. and others.. morel speakers... i would like to get a buncha stuff for my front stage in both my cars

Hi guys i'm brand new here so take it easy on me. i would like some help. i bought a 15 inch alpine type r dual 4 ohm coils. I got a custum box made for it link is here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=19049 it came out great. what i want to know is if i put 1500 watts rms on it am i over powering it, i know it says its 750 rms but i heard these subs take a beating and are under-rated. i have 1 alpine amp right now that is 750 rms @ 4 ohm and i was going to get another one of the same exact amp, and hook 1 to each 4 ohm coil its a v12 something mono block i forget the model number. please help me out i dont wanna burn the voice coils up thanks a lot…

I recently bought a 99 ext cab chevy silverado. I am going to buy a pre fab box since i dont have the time or the resources to build a box. The box will be a downfiring underseat sealed box with 2 chambers with .92 cubes per sub, and a mounting depth of 7". The holes can be cut for round or square subs. I will be listening to rap, rock, and country. I need advice on a good subs/amp combo for this box and truck. My budget would be around $800 for the subs and amp.

Well since it's an extra long weekend for me I'd figure that I would do a quick comparison between the two woofers. The box used is my current home theatre box, which is about 8.5 cubes tuned to 18 hertz. The amp being used is a Dayton 1000 watt plate amplifier that does 1000 watts @ 4 ohms. Impressions of both woofers: RE SX18 I've owned the RE for about a year now, and it's made its way from the car to the house. The packaging was nothing more than unimpressive. A single ply cardboard box with 5 pieces of stiff foam keeping it in place. It's about 26 pounds and looks pretty sharp. The basket is pretty much identical to the Mach 5 SPL series (only not milled down). The t…

Hi, i am thinking about buying a new stereo for my car. i have been looking at: (1) 2 Kicker L7 S15 and a zx2500.1 (2) 2 JL audio W7 13.5 Amp ? (3) 2 Fi BTL 12 amp ? Can someone help me with witch amp i should use and witch subwoofer i sould pick ? thanks for help !

i know theyre rated at like 700 - 1000 RMS or so but could 4 of them stand up to 2 DD Z1's @ 1 ohm each gain matched??

I am thinking about finishing up my system with a new sub setup. I have moved from the overpowering bass to appreciating all the ranges of music. Right now i have a 12" SSD copper coil sealed. It sounds great but am wondering what other choices I could get for greater SQ and that could get lower. Would stepping up to a 15" sealed Q or Icon dig lower and sound better? Playing with a 1000rms. I want the sub to compliment and add that lower depth. Mids are Sea Excel's with Sea tweeters.

Hi I am running two Zed audio Miniliths to one level 3 12 with the spl coils. I thought it would maybe be too much power but they take it very well. I have the sub woofer in a very small sealed box and it still hits very well and the frequencies are very pronounced. I would almost be willing to say it sound like 2 12s but it is not that loud. The cone has some awesome xmax

Just curious does anyone have ant info. on the new lvl4 xl. Already a proud owner of 2 lvl4 d1's, an awesome set of subs. How could Rusty do any better? Beside those amazing lvl5's.

I have 2 memphis PR 15's right now in a ported box tuned to about 34 and im looking for a new amp that will push these... their rated 250rms each but the guy said their underrated.. Will Hifionics amp do the trick?

i seen ice'd audio at a store looked gethho as hell just thought it was funny
