Subwoofers / Speakers

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

Well i got some good news and some bad news. Good news: My spl-15 came in today! Bad news: My spl-15 has a crack in the basket i have lots more but i'll quit with the pics mark ygpm btw its clearly shippers fault. and the basket seems to still be strong..

> All new design < Now I am no ScottA or NickM or NickW etc. nor do I claim to or try to be, so I am curious as to how a certain someone came up with this in a working format, or is this another fancy wording job?

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?

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.

right now i have a AQ hd3 12 that i am running with 1800 watts at 2ohm. the box it is in is 2.5 tuned at 32hz. i am wondering if a sundown nightshade ran at 1ohm with 2400watss goin to it in the same box would be louder? this is a DD not no fart machine.

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

Just thought I'd mention a new kid on the block for home audio loudspeakers and projects. Mike, another DIYer who likes to do things himself decided to take things public and help spread the (free) word about how much better we can make our systems sound. Take a moment out to check his site - http://speakerhobby.com/index.htm He has a forum as well where you guys can share speaker projects of any design using any brand. Cool stuff! Best, Mark

I am a man that plans ahead. I'm planning on building a SS1-2 car next year and my plans include 4 saz-3000d's and 2 subs. I have many choices but what subs are really going to be burp happy seeing 6000+ watts rms? Some subs i'm considering are: IA DP 21 (if wayne harris doesn't shoot my idea down as it's technically within the rules) Fi Btl 18"s Nightshade 18"s Hope for a Mach 5 SPL 18 PAP wmd^2 I'm looking for efficiency as well as the ability to take a 3-6 second burp. For bass race I would run a saz-3000d to each coil at 2 ohms vs. the strapped to each sub at 1 ohm. Any other suggestions, I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I'm looking for options.

so.. got home from work yesterday, found these waiting for me mli's. going to be used in a 3 way component set:D got a hell of a price on them new from mark:) great guy. cant wait to try em out.

Somehow I've ended up with an 07' RE XXX 12" sub.....lol....Couldn't pass the deal up, so I snagged it. Was just wondering...I've got 2 Sundown Audio 3000D's..If I wire this thing to 4 ohms, let each amp see 2 ohms...that would equal 3200 RMS going to the subwoofer. Can this thing handle that much power day to day? I may end up not running this woofer, I may just keep it for the future....but if I do, I want to know if it can take the power. I know RE claims 2000 RMS, but if I keep my gains true and do not go full tilt, will it be ok....or am I going to be breaking out the BBQ sauce pretty soon? Any one have experience with this woofer? I'd appreciate it, if you would g…

This guy at this car audio shop dropped kicker line because he said Memphis Subs were louder is that true? He's selling me 2 15's Memphis PR's with a Ported Box for $289.. Will these be louder than the L7's? or CompVR

alright, un doing a job for another cheap ass with a DONK car...... he wants 4 15's ... and wants to spend no more then 125 a sub...... .. o yeah.. he also wants to "bang" and thay have to look shinny cause he wants to invert them....... these poeple make me sick...... any ideas..... my first thought was maw 15's... but there sold out.

Ive come down to 2 options, the bl 18" or the hdc3 18". This will be going into a 5^ ported box powered by a SAz 1500. Im looking to get very loud and hit hard when i listen to rap but still sound pretty good when i want to listen to anything else.... i mostly listen to rap though. I want the woofer to get real low but still be able to hit the highs very nicely which comes to my main concern with the hdc3 not getting low enough. Thanks for the help in advance!

I know that Sound Splinter is going to have the better woofer, but its still $200 dollars. Although I really only have room for 8's. Possibly a sealed ten, but I want to port for maximum output. So that leaves the fabled question... Because I can get Polk Momos wholesale for like 44 dollars each, and if that would be the better choice... more cone area and cheaper to get louder I would do it. Although, I have always wanted to try an rl-i so I thought I would discuss it. Reason being is this (these) are going behind the rear seat of the jeep wrangler soft top. I need to have the box small and unseen under the little deck in the back. Let me know what you think. Because t…

I was wondering if any of you guys know if any of the Ascendant Audio subs can top JL's 13W7.

Anyone know where to get a kicker l7 reconed in the oklahoma city,yukon,mustang area.

So I managed to get a hold of 2 LMS Ultra 18"s and would like some input on enclosure design. I was thinking of building a smaller ported enclosure tuned low. Any one have any ideas?

Whats the price for 2 lvl4 18"s with level 5 coils? dual2's

Which would be louder. meeting all of their specs. same amount of power, and both 12's not that it matters.

After seeking help from numerious forums..(ROE, Termpro, SSA, and SMD) I've narrowed down my box design to just two for my DC LvL4 18. I just do know which one I want to build. Should I go with box 1 or box 2 Box 1: Tuning is now looking right at around 33Hz. Box 2: Tunning is around 30Hz

I'm in the market for a sub but not sure if I need to buy a dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohms voice coil. Furthermore, how should I wire it in series or parallel. What are the pros/cons of a D1 vs a D2? Then what are the pros/cons of wiring up the coils in series vs parallel? I'll be running a 12" sub with a Soundstream Rubicon 702 which does 700 watts RMS X 1 at 2 and 4 ohms bridged. Also does 350W X 1 at 8 ohms bridged.

former owner of 2 10 jl audio w3v2 subs under the back seat of my f150 super cab. Overall I was not too happy with the output of these subs. I need another pair to throw under my back seat and I was considering the rl-i10 or 8. Wasnt sure on yalls thoughts on this/ have yall heard this set up before? My goals are for more spl then the jls and im alright sacrificing some sq for it. current amp is a memphis st-1000d 1 ohm stable at 1000 watts, however I can get a new amp so thats not really an issue, even though these subs match up great with that amp! any other recomendations are greatly needed, ive been without bass for about 10 months now.

Ok, I'm redoing my system in my truck. I have a 15" Fi Q going in a 32hz 3.6cu box. I have a JL Audio 300/4 I picked up for cheap that will be here soon. I plan on picking up a Premier 880 or 800 in the next few weeks. I currently have 2way Infinity Reference speakers in there off HU power. I want a component setup that would sound great active or passive for around $200. I've never done active and I think that I may give it a shot. What are some good sets for the money? They are going in the factory door location. No kick pods. I was looking at the CDT CL-62 with the upgraded 1" titanium tweeter, and also Focal's Access 165. Any help would be great.
