Subwoofers / Speakers

I just recently bought a Sundown Audio SAE-1200D, and I was going to buy a pair of JL 12w3v3-2 subwoofers and wire them in parallel to get an impedance of 1 Ohm. Now I have heard that the SAE-1200D is underrated and I was wondering what SVC 2 Ohm subwoofer could handle the full power of the amp. The main prolem of this whole thing is that I already paid the money for the box and if possible, I would like to use it. The box is a dual 12 inch ported enclosure with a shared chamber and one terminal cup for each subwoofer (If that even matters). Im also not looking to pay over 300 dollars for the pair of subs. (Which shouldn't be hard becuase the 12w3s that I was going to buy…

recently just got my hands on four of these guys for 40 bucks was wondering if anyone knew anything about them? found they want .75 ported but id like to do something fun with them, 4th order bp maybe for the hell of it?

All this hustling & bustling with enclosures,has ne1 tried a free-air install with the Mags?At one time I tried it with a eD12O,it sounded OK but it didnt have enuff output for my taste.Maybe 2-12's would've done it, anyhow I think I read that some of u are going free-air,I would definitely like to hear ur input.NO Nick,I'm not plugging my Mag into a wall socket nor am I doing any free-air test tones(LOL),just wanna know how they would do in this type of setup.So with that said lets get out the MDF and start cutting out those baffles! :boink:

Have a box for a different sub i'm running right now, wanted to know if i could expect good low end bass from a 12 d2 in a 2.1 cube box tuned at 30 hz before driver displacement.. I would be feeding it ~700w daily. I'm a deep bass junkie, but i had to get rid of my HC 15, and need something in a 12" driver that can get LOW in a box no bigger than 2.1 cubes ported, 2.3 cubes sealed and shallow (12" would be my only option from SI). I can get more power, i was wondering if i could just plug the D2 into my box as i don't really want to make another one, it's quite a pain because it's not square. I suppose i could take the backseat out of my Wrangler again, but that won'…

i looked on the SI site and didn't see any pics. how do i wire it for 1 Ohm? the 15 D2 looks like a beast i hope everyone around me can feel it

I have a 1996 Taurus and I am limited on trunk space. I dont think I will be able to fit 2 Maw-15's in a 6cuft^3 enclosure in my trunk. So I was wondering what sounded better.... 2 Maw-15's in a Sealed Enclosure or 2 Maw-12's in a Ported Enclosure. Thanks in Advance ~MadroX

using my kenwood excelon x10d - 600rms at 2ohms (1ohm stable but no power rating). which would be the better sub. i listen to metal, rock, alternative rock. basicly nice accurate bass with some decent kick is the goal. i have polk db 5.25 and 1000(1in tweets) up front and 6x9s in the rear. all off the the sony hu (cdx gt310) the aa would be alittle overpowered and the fi could be run at 1ohm or 2ohm depending on vc options budget it under $200 if anyone has another option that sould be considered.

well today i fried my backup frontstage ( just little 4x6's) well since that gone i have to buy something new becuasr the 4x6's are my only units with weeters. That means i cant get my darn 15 inch magnum!!!!!!!!! grrrrrr i was so mad today. but on the bright side im gunna replace those 4x6's with some Morel SUPREME's. but now that meANS i gotta go make kick pannels and istall the morel wr-4s to lol :thud:

i dont understand with ports some ppl say that you always put your ports on the same side as your subwoofers. looking around on forums i see ports being put on all different side what is the best way. does it even matter i have a van and i want to put the subwoofers facing the front of the car and van the ports facing the tailgate what is best

Will there be more components produced? I so much want to get my hands on the 327`s. If you still can make these it`d be great to receive them along with a T-shirt And as i understand, a lot of SI products are ordered from UK lately. Seems the Audi A2 with the Baz-box has caught attention

I haven't been on this forum in a while so just thought I would drop in. Can't wait to see the new BM series drivers come out. Also, I have been working on my install off and on lately, added new HO alt, Yellow Top, Big 3, etc.... and will be soon building a new home for my Mag 15 and amp rack. I am tempted to go ported but don't want to lose the sq that I love so much about the sealed mag. However, I am still being impressed more and more as I have had alot more time to play with my mag lately and this sucker still impresses the hell out of me and anyone that listens to it. Again great job SI!!!!! sure wish I could fit 2 15s.

when someone say they are going to switch their speakers to active what does that mean and does it effect anything at all?

I need a capable speaker I can put in my door, 6.5-8" That I can use in the stock Deville location. Will be crossed over active 80-2100ish 4th order on the high pass to a Morel MDT-12 in the a-pillar. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=277-060 Amplifier is a sundown 4100D and will be fully active using Audiocontrol or zapco x-over eq setup. I was thinking of either the Vifa P21wo-20 or something similar. I absolutely love the smoothness of the Vifa midrangers, and would like an input if somebody has something maybe a little better application wise in mind. I don't know if I can sink a 8"er in the door yet but i'll be measuring here shortly to figure out…

Well i got my system together ( needs some minor adjustments here and there). Running a jvc KD-avx77 to my kicker zx750.1 amp, and to my Fi SSD12 with copper coil option. I wired it in parallel but then my amp went into protection mode and i didnt even really turn up the gain much. Should I wire it in series? My sub has the DVC option

Does anybody know if the generic grills they sell at Parts Express will work for the 302's? If not, do you have any suggestions on grills for these?

well, actually a link..hehe check this out!! scroll sown till ya get to the red honda civic si.....that is one sweet install. just had to pass this on..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

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 finally order a set of cheap comps to upgrade the crappy stock speakers. I'm wondering whats the best way to position them when you are so tall you pretty much sit in the back seat to drive? Right now I tend to hear the rear speakers more so then the fronts as I sit so far back. The front stage will be louder then the stocks running off the HU, so I think I might be ok. And advice from you other tall people? I'm 6'6" for inquiring minds. I was thinking maybe building pods just off the bottom corner of the door by my foot and firing the mid's towards the back more and possible putting the tweets on the pillars. Clueless right now. Goals are just to keep up with the su…

Okay so today I showed up to my house with a free blown sub at my door and was wondering if there is a recone kit available for it. It is a Audiobahn 12" Eternal series (AWES12p) and I dont think audiobahn makes them anymore because they came out with a new immortal series. I don't know how to tell if the motor is still good but I assume it is due to the coil being the only thing that looked bad. So yeah, I would be needing the whole recone (coil, dustcap, cone/foam surround, spider, and so forth). Im almost possitive the coil is 2.5 inches in diameter (measured with measuring tape). Let me know if I let out any information. Your help is much appreciated, thanks!

Time to upgrade! Right now i have Infinity Reference coaxials, and they were good for first speakers, but the longer i owned them, more i realized that they suck. I have 6.5s up front and 6x9s in the back. I'm not planning on buying new 6x9s cause i haven't read one post that is for buying them, or even having them for that matter. I also have a SDC2.5 12" sub and an AQ1200D amp. i have around $200 to spend and have list of component sets that i think look good......but I've only heard the Focal set, and i was very impressed! Definitely feel free to add speakers to the list. I want SQ comps, don't really care if they get loud.....as long as they sound good! JL Audio VR…

Has anyone on here tried the Boston G5 12 inch sub? I got one the other day (cheap)brand new and haven't hooked it up to anything yet-just wanted peoples opinion's. I heard a pair on a JL 1000/1 at a local stereo shop-and I thought they sounded great (even on there display wall). I have a 1000/1 sitting around and was thinking about trying that combo in my Mariner? I have a baby on the way and probably will need to take my 15's out from time to time-so the box will be lighter to take in and out. Just wondered if anybody had tried them before-Thanks

I am looking for a 12" or a 15" sub. I want it to be daily. I dont want it to require to much power beacuse i dont want to upgrade alt and run another battery. I listen to rap. I can make a box up to 6 cubic feet. I want it to get loud and boomy.

Just got my new DC subs in this morning, 4 LVL 4 12" D2, going to be running off a Rockford T4000 stepping down in size from my Wall of RF subs, to the 4 12s, box is going to be ~7-8cubes @33-34hz, 2 6" aeros, in a 2004 Explorer Equipment: Kenwood DDX812 Rockford 3Sixty.2 RF T6004 RF T4002 RF T40001bd 4x DC Audio LVL 4 12s Hertz MLK2 running Active wanted to mess with 12s this time, been probably 4 years since ive used 12s in my vehicle...pics build log for old wall and new build over at Caraudio.com, starting a new build log here also thanks guys

i posted this at Si.n also, but it's obviously more at home here. and for anybody who doesn't look at that forum. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...rity/d215.1.wmv oh yeah, and ROE is down for a day or two as they change servers I think, so it probably won't work for a while. sorry ps- have I ever said I love this thing? i should order another and sleep with it. excellent, excellent job.

Will this be good enough for a Mag 15"? I want it real tight.
