Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm looking to downsize in the trunk of my 03 civic 4dr. Right now I have 1 15"TC2000 in a 3.2cf @32hz powered by an Alpine PDX 1.1000. Honestly, I could stand to lose a little output. So my question is how does 3 10lvl2 sealed vs. 2 10lvl3 ported compare in terms of output, upper bass freq, & lower bass freq? Also, would both of these setups be a BIG step down to my current one? Thankyou.

planning a sealed box for a 18" rl-p, and i want this thing to be solid. first things first, im gonna resin it. should i do the entire inside, or just the edges? i was thinking mainly the edges to give it a nice tite seal. can i use resin instead of caulk? or should i caulk first, then resin? 2nd, instead of using a 2x baffle, i was thinking about bracing it. i saw this bracing thing from bcae: http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm and was going to stick 2 of those in the box. (dims are 42x12.5x18.75) also maybe add some polyfill. the box + the bracing and displacement is going to be around 4.18 cubic ft w/o the fill thanks in advance

Hey im getting a Toyota Camry to start driving and im wondering which sub or subs yall would recommend. The smallest i want to go is 12. Open to any suggestions.

Got recommendations for both of these subs and gonna have 10"'s box ported designed by RAM designs. Going to have a JL audio 1000/1v2 running them, if anyone has any other recommendations my budget is roughly $400. thanks

well... ive decided its time for my new truck to get a sub or two. I want to get something thats relatively cheap and can produce more bass than my last sytem. I recently sold my 01 extreme blazer. I was running 2 15 inch l7s with a 1200 watt monoblock audiobahn amps. My new truck is an 04 extended cab 1/2 ton chevy. Im going to pull the back seat soon so i will have plenty of room for a box. I dont have money trees in the back yard so id like to keep it pretty low cost =) my ideal set up would be 2 12s i think. if anyone could turn me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. thank you, austin

Ok so a long time ago I had the maw-15's, two of them, anyway they were amazing. but due to economic circumstances I had to regretfully sell them to make ends meet. Also along with my tiny but very stout amp. So here is the new deal going on... I have a better job now. new car. and a new budget. I drive a 2006 Pontiac g6 sedan.... I am looking into two subs for the car. i was wanting 10's because before i sold my maw's i tried to get them in the trunk of the g6 and it didnt work well. so Anyway 2 10's is what im looking at, or maybe 2 12's. budget is $500-$600 for both subs together. thanks in advance ~MadroX *Edit: Spelling Error

Soundstream TRC.60C 6.5" 250W Tarantula Component System. it will be going i the front dord of my trailblazer with a old bo bo american bass amp not sure of the watts. what do yall think of them and has any one used them. there on the 1800 website.

There's a chance I may need a recone or something (hope not ), my sub amp has been cutting out the last two days and the protection light was on. Gonna take a DMM to the coils sometime soon. but my question is........would there be any gain by reconing my older model D2 with the new Mag's soft parts? Or do you think I should just get a new Mag?

i know yall have heard me say i have 2 15" cvx's in sealed box which is about 5 cubic feet!! i wanna show off at prom next weekend but i only have 1 fi q 15"right now, the other one i ordered about 3 days ago, so it will take like a week for the other one to come in.... right now i have the q in the box on my kicker zx 1000. however i still have the 2 cvx's handy, so should i just use those to show off and put my titanium 2400 amp back in to push them? or would yall just leave the Q in on the zx 1000? to me the Q sounds alot better and picks up more frequencies but i'm still kinda breaking the sub in, i've probably played it for about 1 hour total! if you were in my shoes…

Hey! I just found out you guys existed :-p. I was just taking a look at the Magnum 12s and I they look like they might be for me. Would a MA Audio Hk402sx be a good amp for a pair? 1800 RMS @ .5 ohm. Thanks! Alex PS. probably go with a gnome audio box :-p

wanna know everything about it....

I got my 12" Magnum today. Such an amazing looking work of art. I am hoping to get my amp rack done and get it in the car this weekend. Then I just need to wait for my 302's and then I'm done. Who hoo. It starting to feel good. I am really excited about it now.

well i was playing some new tracks and then i opened my trunk and felt weird smell from woofer, it's playing great but there is some kind a smell, like glue is burning or something, and dust cap gets a little bit warm, am i pushing it too far ? I got 15" JBL rated 350W RMS running it @ 4ohms 500W RMS

I got a alpine pdx 1.600 and an infinity kappa perfect 10.1 sub....as the only sub. Is it gonna blow it/make it sound like chit? The RMS is 600 on the amp, and 350 RMS on the sub.

What are some non main stream brand subwoofers? like fi audio, or dd audio, or t3 audio. not like mtx or jl or kicker

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…

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.

I recently picked up the WT3 and have been playing around with it a bit. But I am a little unclear on a parameter I am supposed to enter in. When having it calculate VAS you need to enter in the Piston Diameter, What should I enter? ie 15 for a 15" driver, 12 for a 12" driver etc. OR Should I enter in a calculated diameter from the Sd? Example a 15" driver is ~12.64", 12" driver ~9.73" etc. Thank you.

I am building a box in my wheel well. In the wheel well there is a small bracket that is where the spare tire is secured down. If I were to place a pipe in the middle of my box, to be used as a pass through where a long screw would go through to secure the box down. I would silicone it of course, I just want to know if there is any sort of petential problem music wise. See the attached for an idea of what i am talking about.

On the site I see it says 900 watts but have heard some put 1500 on it and the subs are fine someone clear something up for me..

Im trying to find out which sub setup would be the loudest. All these subs have good enough sq for me. Im trying to stupid loud but only have 6cuft to work with and my amp is a sundown 1500. I dont want to use more than that in my trunk. All of the choices below are for the max recommended ported box specs. It will go in the trunk of a tahoe. The box & port will face the back. Tell me if theres anymore info you need. I want explanations also. -1 BTL15 in a 5cuft box -2 BL12 in a 5cuft box -2 SSA Icon 12 in a 5cuft box -2 Alpine Type-Rs 15 in a 6cuft box (cheapest) I also have three other choices but lower than the max ported box specs. Im sure it wont be that big of a…

Im wondering which to get. 2 Fi SSD 12s in its optimal enclosure or 2 Sundown Sa-12s in their optimal enclosure both will be running on the same amp. Im wondering which would get loud and retain sound quality while doing it. All ported by the way.

I am currently running active with a set of ID XS65 in the stock door location of my '02 Tahoe on a Zapco ST-4X. While it sounds ok, it is not loud enough for me. I have done zero deadening to the doors thus far, though I did that on purpose so I could hear the difference for myself when I follow the recommendations of Don(SDS) for doing up the doors. I find myself having to dial back the mids to balance things out anyway, which seems odd to me considering the tweeters have a higher sensitivity and are receiving the same power. When I set the gains I had the tweeters crossed at 2.5k with a 24db slope. I played some music and went up til I had a nasty irritation/screech in…

Just like the title says. I plan on getting 2 12's and SA-12 seems perfect for my budget. I plan on spending about 400 on subs. Also will an SAE 1200 work well with these? Any info is appreciated.

well i have a set of alpine type r 6x9's that i used to use for the rear fill, ever since june when i got my k's the pressure would build inside the trunk and distort the hell out of type r's in the rear deck. so they have been sitting in my room for some time now and i was thinking about making a set of Infinite baffel kick panels for them. i was considering getting some crystal comp set, but i wanted to see what i could do with what i already have and save some money hopefully. i want Infinite baffel because i know they will sound good like that and because the trunk used to act like a giant box for them. so what do you guys think about this here idere? al
