Subwoofers / Speakers

2005 jeep grand chrokee i already have 2 rockford fosgate t2500 bdcp aiming at SPL daily budget up to $1200 no experience with either one only 2 kicker l7 15s space available 43 W 22.5 height 26.5depth i have $1200 dollars but can't decide what to get i have a deal on two kicker solo x 12 for $950 or $1200 dollars for two fi sp4 18 help me decide please

I am trying to understand out of phase vs in phase? Lets say you have 2 speakers, a left and a right. Can only the left speaker be out of phase, while the right speaker in in phase? Or if the speakers are out of phase, then both will be out of phase, and its not possible to have just one ?

More times than not, I see people on Youtube with an extra battery in the trunk instead of having a better alternator. Isn't this just pointless? You can hold more juice, but if you can't replenish it faster than you use it, what's the point of 2 batteries? The only thing I can think of is that it's better because you can charge both batteries when your system isn't playing. Just for me I always have my bass on when I drive so this seems weird to me. EDIT: Another thing that gets me. I have 900RMS and my headlights dim, meaning I may have to replace the alternator and battery which costs hundreds. How do people have 3000RMS and just upgrade their battery? I feel like for…

I started a topic about this awhile back and started to get some input about midbass drivers, but that thread died. I listen to quite a bit of metal and need some real nice mid bass drivers...... no budget... 08 explorer 5x7 w/about 3.5 - 4in depth... ..i can do 8in drivers .... any help would be appreciated...

what does that mean? and how do i fix it?

Hey guys i just started looking at DC today and i rele like what i see about them so far. I just wanna know how they compare with the BTLs? It would be (4) 18s walled with (4) saz-3500 on them in a 03 Yukon Denali. I want it for a daily ground pounder... Witch one will be better for what i want to do? Thanks Shane

Been out of audio for a few years now so Im going to need to get some advice on brands/models... I am looking at replacing and amping up my audio in a '06 BMW 3 series. Stock is 4" in doors, 1" tweets in upper doors. 8" sub under each seat. I want to get a Fosgate 360.1/2 and add in my 12" SI mag, but I can also skip the extra weight of the mag and just replace the stock 8" subs under each seat. This is some of the speakers to have been found to work on these cars...Are there anything better?

I am soon to happen upon $500. i decided to buy two Mj-18's and two of these: http://www.millionbuy.com/boscx2000m.html now my only problem is i dont know jack about boxes, i need some ideas. now, the only thing i ask is nothin higher than 28Hz. it is going in my room, which is medium sized, about 20x20. i also happen to have an Spl vice, which is why i am buyin a Boss amp(almost no SQ, i know) Thanks for any ideas on this.

ok, going to build a box for my ID8s. going to angle the back to sit flush to my back seat to help save space instead of making a plain square/rectangle shape. problem comes with the port. I attached a real crude drawing I did in paint, the small diagrams are how I think you are supposed to measure port length when the back wall of the box is plumb just like the front of the box. the large one is the way I am guessing you would measure port length when they arent, if its even doable. red is interior port wall blue is point at which I figure Id measure port length. so, whats the verdict?

Anybody use the/hear of them? http://www.splaudio.ca/splw.html http://www.splusa.net/index.htm Was thinkin about getting some 10s..

I feel I am confusing myself here. a subwoffer with dual voice coils has a rated wattage of 500W, that is for a single voice coil? if its for both voice coils is it rated at 500W in series or parallel? wiring a dual 1ohm sub that is rated at 200W in series means that sub can still take 200W as that's what the first voice coil sees. wiring a dual 1 ohm sub that is rated at 200W in parallel means it can take 400W as that is what the 2 coils can take together. am I right or wrong here in the way im explaining this? (again this is how it was just explained to me at work and now I feel confused.) if you have a dual 2 ohm sub you can wire that sub up to 4 ohm or down to 1 o…

2 15" L7 on a kicker 1500zx (spending under 1100) vs. 2 15" FI Q w/ JL audio 1000/1 (would be spending 1300) is it worth it to spend the extra $200?

Thought I'd post this in behalf of my buddy Marcos (Mega Heavy Bass), who competed in a dBDrag event today with 4 x Stereo Integrity 15's. I will let him fill you in on the scores, but for now, I leave you with this: Oh, and remember - this wasn't built as a burp machine but as something to play music. The SPL is just a by-product Stereo Integrity = teh win

I am Thinking about reverse mounting 2 FI BL 12's and was looking at some researcha bout wiring and reverse polarity and what not. When i mount them in reverse should i reverse the polarity aswell? ???

Sorry, I already know I Posted this in the Fabrication section, but I forgot to make a poll out of it. So I went to go edit it and then I got to thinking, which section should I put this in to get the most attention? So Mod's if you feel necessary, please delete the one you think would attract the least amount of attention, but Id like to have the Poll. Hey guys, I am in the talks with Steve, the owner of Subthump.com. They make some of the best sealed prefabbed boxes I have ever dealt with. They are simply amazing, the prices are budget friendly. Their main focus are on sealed boxes, because they aim at the people who are on a budget and they can mass produce. So I have…

hi all I'm buying a single 12" re audio xxx new style. I could get my hands on the old style 18 but don't think I'll have the space so I'm gonna go with the 12. I need to figure out what to do about a box for it. any ideas on tuning or size? I'd like to tune it low I like screwed and chopped due to all the low notes in it. like the 20-30 hz range is where most of my bass hits. hence why I'm going with a xxx now instead of my soft Parts aa assassin 8's . I've got around 30 in wide by 17 in tall by hopefully 20 or under deep. any help would be greatly appreciated. output isn't the biggest concern but would be nice. the low tuning and sq is the most important part.

hello everyone, im looking into getting some new subwoofer(s) i either want to get 2 12s or 1 15 i want to tune it around 38-41 hertz and my budget on subs not including amp is about 900 dollars so everyone throw in their opinion on what i should get!

Alright guys, this is going to be my first system. I need some input on what sub to get. I have an amp that my friend said is low budget but is decent. The audiopipe 1500 watt. Now I'm new and don't know a whole lot about systems and stuff so please bare with me I want the kind of loud that makes your nose and throat itch lol. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. Now I just need some advice on what to get. Thanks guys

How many of you run SSA subs?

Sorry it`s a JBL sub - But I do not have any MAG 12" Yet... Anyway this will give you a good idea of what an ISO set up does. The following text is taken from my Forum: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O.K. Get ready because you are about to see one of the worse looking installs ever. I`ve not bothered doing anything special because my boot space is regularly taken up with power tools / tools / bags of sand etc. So there you go. No point in having a nice looking install that will get messed up within a few weeks. Anyway what I did today whilst at work was... ...add another 12" JB…

I was looking at this set of Hybrids, I had already set my budget at $500 before looking around a lot and I have heard good things about Hybrid Audio so how do you guys think they would do running active with a Sundown 100.4? Also I'm not so sure that the 6.5's will fit without mods to the door so if they don't then how will the 5.25's compare to them?

Ohhhhhh lookiee my x-mas got here a lil early 75lb motor My Mom asked how did ya get the basket to have Green MetalFlake Pap Rules

Who has experience with both subs or who knows which is better? how do they compare with eachother?

So I am a noob here but have done my best to gather all the facts for others to help me with my predicament. I recently pulled out my Boston Acoustics SPZ60's to install that I bought from my bro and found that one of the tweets and coaxial mounts were missing. We both looked around to no avail and now I'm left with buying new tweets and making a component style setup instead of the coax setup I wanted. I have access to Clio sound testing equipment and tested the mid. It operates between 100-2k hz. This leaves me believing I need a tweet that will get at least close to 2k or I will have a big hole in my front stage. My vital info: Tweets will be run off of channels 1+2 …

im looking to buy an amp (preferably under 400) thats gonna push two 2 ohm l7s, each wired down to 1 0hm. whats my best investment? need wisdom....
