Subwoofers / Speakers

Im wanting to purchase new subs for my explorer once i get my tax return. i previously had 2 15" kicker L7s in a ported box power by a memphis mojo 2400 amp. id like to stick around paying a 1000.00 for subs/amp/head unit. maybe a little more. id still like to get 2 15's. i had the last sytem 4 years ago so ive been out of the loops on good sub/amp combos. could i get some recommendations please. im wanting to be very loud, not to worried about SQ either.

Hi all, I am looking for any information possible regarding a setup for my vw golf. I am looking to replace front indoor speakers and add some new ones to the rear doors (if suggested of course). I am also looking for a subwoofer to place in a box in the boot, one or two depending again on suggestions. I have no real experience with them in any way so any information is really appreciated. I have no experience of what amplifiers would be needed either or how to wire a system up. The music i am aiming my setup at will be mainly rock and metal but could quite easily include most genres, i am going for a quality of sound rather than something just to make a thud or loud nois…

I have one of these that's been sitting around for a really long time. I want to build a box for it but I don't remember how big of a box I need and what I should tune it at. I can't find any info on these much less anything about the company. Anybody have any idea?

I am looking into replacing my front stage right now and was wanting some advise on which way to go. My budget is $500 for just the speakers in a 2-way setup. I drive a 4 door 99 Grand Am and have no speakers in the rear. My current front stage consists of the Focal 165KF running passive. The Focals sound good in the higher ranges but lacks greatly in the lower ranges. I am not looking at getting louder just more low end and detailed. I cross my sub around the 50-60hz range and would like to bring my front stage close to that range also. I am looking to better the staging in my car. Currently I have these in the kicks with the speakers aimed inbetween the two fron…

hey guys I need help deciding.. i want to switch to txo twelves and was just wondering with my power what would be a better choice? I have two memphis mojo 2500s and want four twelves.. now with 8 cubes to work with should I go with ia death penaltys or sundown nightshades? thanks for any help!

ok I have two dual 2 zcons and I just built a new box for them. I have them wired in series to achieve a 2 ohm load. They are resting at 2.1 ohms with a straight reading. I put the new box in hooked them up to the amp and played it for 20 seconds or so and instantly notice the no good smell. So i went back and felt the woofers to see if the dustcaps were hot or warm and one was extremely hot and the other was as if it wasnt even played at all. What I have done so far. I have pulled off the wires and checked each individual coil and it all reads a perfect 2.2ohm per coil. I am curious if my speaker wire lengths all need to be the same being that the amp is a mono im not …

Got my 2 15" xl's in love every moment of them they are absolutly amazing I was wondering how much of a difference will there be after they get a good chance to break in?

Hey Guys, I've spent an hour or so on the Forum looking for specific on optimum wiring for my single GCON 12" I've have two amps here at the house: Diamond Audio D600.1 Mono block 275W x 1 @ 4-Ohms450W x 1 @ 2-Ohms600W x 1 @ 1-Ohm OR Boston Acoustics GTA-500M Channels Mono Bridgeable Not Bridgable RMS Power at 2 Ohms 500 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms 300 W x 1 1. Which one would you use and how would you wire it? It's going in a sealed 1.4 cu ft box, I'm more about clean and crisp.... Can a Jedi kick down some layman's terms??? So very appreciated.

I am thinking about re-doing my setup and would like some opinions. I am thinking about moving my 4 DP21"s to the passenger side, and port on drivers side. Then the idea for 8 15"s started creeping into my head. The subs in each setup will be on 2k wrms each, so it's not really a fair comparison since it will be twice the power with the 15"s, but o well. The 8 15"s would be on bottom with the port across the top most likely. Some of the subs I have been considering for the 15"s are: BTL's, new DP's, Lvl 5's, and Exos. Right now I am leaning towards the Atmos Exos. Wall is in an 03 Expedition at the B-pillars, 40 cubes and will be tuned somewhere between 28 and 32hz. Prob…

hey guys im going 3 cu ft for 2 level 3 12's what kind of tuning do you guys use for these for rap? keep in mind just cause its rap i dont want it to sound like muddy ass..lol id like it to be musical..each sub will be getting 500 watts..this will be my first time with ported and i dont know shit about port area, volume all that stuff..and im having the shop build the box for me and install it, so if you guys can give me some numbers i can write them down and hand them to the shop..by the way reason im going with 3 cu ft is cause on there website it says 1.5 per 12'' unless you guys know something that works better

i have a friend that is set on a 3 way passive set up , he has a decent budget 800 bucks or so.... looking for something that will cover a great range sound good, needs to have a 1 inch tweeter for location reasons he was about to pull the trigger on a set of hertz milians or some shit... looking for options from you guys, i told him to just go active but hes not even a noob more like a boob and he was simplicity

i just put in some pioneer 6x9s in my car and they sound like a cross between a subwoofer with no crossover and a tweeter..... no bass at all either. the factory speakers sounded much better. what a waste of money

While working on my build yesterday a question came up that I couldn't answer. The question was "what's the visible difference between the DC subwoofer levels? I had no answer because I didn't know. Does anyone know the visible difference in these subs? Also how do you know what version of the coils the subs have visibly? To clarify this is not a question of handling power or sound, but simply put visible differences. Thanks guys.

um so i got my system hooked up and i crank it up for a bit and this smell comes out of nowhere, i think its the stuff melting around the cone, either that or my Voice coil is layin on the beach. But it is still playin jsut fine.... any ideas??

of a box.......how do i measure...from the long side or short side..or do i average it? btw, this is being done for the look. i do have a square side to this box, but i want to save it for something else oh yeah..it's going to be a slot port... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just wondering if anyone has experimented with them in the past...reviews would be greatly appreciated...

Has anyone tried painting the cone of a subwoofer? I know that you cant really use regular paint because of adding weight to the cone and changing the t/s parameters. But is there anyway to do this, I am just trying to completely black out the sub. So you dont see the company logo. I want a clean black sub. Any opinions would be appreciated. I dont want to go with sharpie option either.

Hey guys i'm looking for a set of components. With the $500 im playin around with, I figure I can buy a new sub amp, probobally a viper 1200.1 for my subs. I will use my 300 wRMS x2 amp to power some components, which seems like a lot but i think I could get by with gains set low. do u guys think thats safe? anyway my budget for comps is less than $200. I will be installing the mids in my doors, imaging isnt a major concern for me, and I cant build kicks anyway. I'm pretty sure I will do some sound deadening, so I need comps that will do well infinite baffle. midbass is pretty important to me, and I can't stand harsh-sounding tweets, so I guess that means a silk tweeter i…

Well, Im new here so why not annoy all the old timers with the question of what should I buy. The basics: 2006 Hyundai sonata - large trunk, around 16-17 cubes, partially deadened. I generally prefer sealed, although ported could work. I dont want to use more than 2 cubes, and preferably less. I am looking at quite a few different amps, but assume 600-1000 watts at a 2 ohm load. I would like to see 134 db. I am not dead set on any particular size, although I have considered two or three 10", or a pair of 12s, maybe a single 15. Would like to keep it under $250 usd for the sub. I have used elemental designs, alpine, kicker, and a couple other lesser brands but for various …

When are the BM's going to be out ?

I know they are all real busy, but I would really like to order one so if any reps see this please drop me an email on how I can do this via paypal. thanks cory [email protected]

okay now im stuck between the two....a fully loaded 12" btl or a 12" nightshade. which would you guys choose, im sure they are both great woofers.

Two of the D2904/6000-01 28mm dome tweeter, neo magnet And two of the W18NX-001 (E0042) Nextel cone 7" woofer At least they're pretty

I am shopping for two 12" subwoofers that will work well in a small vented enclosure. I would like the net volume to be 4^3 ft. or less (net meaning not including driver, material or port displacement). Some other requirements are: ~2000wrms per driver ~low f3 ~daily setup, music only ~enclosure tune to 30-32 hz with a 60-80hz xover point ~I mostly listen to rap I am considering having custom subwoofers built if needed. What are "ideal" T/S parameters based on my preferences?

im wanting to use one of my maw-15s in a ht application. I figured that the bash-300 off mach5's website would power it quite well and be very nice in a 2cuft stuffed box. however there is no way for me to run the maw at 4ohms is there? its only 2 and 8 with dvc?
