Fi BTL 15 inches VS RE XXX 15 inches Here is a simulation in winisd...Which clear shows XXX will be louder... Box specs...5 Cu.ft with a port of 48 sq in and 20 inch length.

Hey guys. I've got a little 6.5 inch woofer that I am going to use a midbass driver. What kind of enclosure should I put it in? Sealed or ported and what size/tuning? Thanks guys. It will be run off of about 50~60 watts.

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…

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'…

What do u recommend for SQ??? Will be in a sealed box with 7" max depth mount... Net vol. too factory rec.. Up firing under the back seat of my ext cab sierra.. I do NOT have a amp yet but would like to stick with any of the sundown amps... Like to keep it around or under $300 for one or two subs which ever sounds better. Using CDT EF-61i with a sundown sax-100.2 in front... Was looking at two ss rli-10's and the sundown sae-100d but that might be more than I need... Also looking at the Sundown SAX-100.2and two SD-1 10's... I read its got killer sq... I just looking for clean musical bass to fill out the music not to drown anything out and not boomy.. Listen to all type…

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

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

how can i tell if i have 2 or 4 ohm coils if it dont say on the woffer

i have two hifonics brz1200 i dont know if i should get two 12" digital designs 2500 or 3500 series i would get each sub d2 and wire each sub at 1ohm to its own amp my max box dimensions are 38W X 15H X 22D i want subs + port firing foward, no sealed

Can anybody with a 1998ish jimmy/blazer/bravada show me some pics of where they mounted their tweeters and how hard it was. I recently got a set and havent found a good spot to mount them. Please tell me how long it took and what tools were needed. thank you!

OK, I just got rid of my last setup and looking to start new. I have $1000.00 to work with for subs and amp(s). I already have an upgraded electrical system (Stock Battery, Kinetik HC 2000, 230 amp HO alt. and the Big 3 done with 0 gauge). Now, am looking at 4 different subs and still up in the air on amps. I have 8 cb.ft to work b4 any displacement. So am thinking of running two 12" ported or 2 15" ported that doesn't need a lot of space to operate. For subs, am wanting a LOW END MONSTER with ok high end. Am currently looking at the DC lvl 4 or XL (Depending on price and amp), IA Death Row, FI BL, or the AQ HDC3 subs, but am still open to suggestions. As for amps, i w…

i have a powerbass asa1500d 1500 rms at 1 ohm i clamped it at 1603 rms without clipping so which would get louder on that power an icon 15 or an xcon 12

I've been searching for amps to power 2 Mags and a set of Viper 650.2 components. I was looking aat MTX but I want more power on the Mags. I want the amps to match if possible but they don't have to. I only want to run two amps and my budget is $750. Oh yeah the Mags will be ported tuned to 30hz. Thanks.

hello all, I am redoing my install and decided why the heck not try going ported while I am at it. Just not sure if I have enough room to. So what is the smallest suggested cuft for a Mag 15 ported? the new version that is. also, reccomended tuning as well. I am not going for all out spl. I am a huge sq guy that just wants to go ported and try it out. So I still wanna keep as much SQ as possible with a ported box. thanks in advance. and if there is anyone that is real good at doing box plans please let me know.

Ok, I had about 4 paragraphs typed up then accidentally x-ed out of all my tabs on firefox...so here it goes again! Finally...my write-up is here...I've been busy and didn't get time to write anything WHILE the driver was still here. First, I'd like to thank Mr. Nick Lemons for the opportunity to demo such a unique and amazing driver. I was watching for UPS everyday when I heard the news the new SI d2 had been shipped out to me. I couldn't wait, when I received the package I immediately took it up to my dorm room and opened it. I stared googly-eyed at the beautiful woofer...picture do NOT do this subwoofer justice. The back-end is SO sexy...nice bumped back-plate...it's h…

i hit 143.8 in a sealed box in my rsx with 2 15's and a jbl 1200.1

So I am going to get a 15" Mag and want to know the optimal size box to build for my trunk. My MAX dimensions are as follows: 17 1/4 in. high 33 1/2 in. long 18 in. deep I used the speaker calculator from BCAE that I found on a google search and it calculates these numbers to 5.844 ft. ^3. Seems high to me, but??? The smaller the better, yet I want it to hit lows as well as it can without sacraficing to much. I'm running a Sundown 1500D. Any assistance is much appreciated.

i promised you guys this AGES ago.. well, its finally been built and... it doesnt fit! LOOOL! oh well, i cant wait to hear it anyway, heres some pics - http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread....4648#post964648 il report back when i get my headunit back, then i can have a listen

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.

Has anyone heard them? If so how do they sound and what size enclosure were they in. How much power was running to them? I am wanting to see if I can run a pair in a 12 net cube box with an AQ 2200 on each. Also if anyone has any vids please post them I really want to see what they can do.

Currently I am Running a 15" Fi Q ported in a 4 Cu. Ft. box supposedly tuned to about 32-33hz and stock speakers in a 99' Volvo S70. I am missing out on some hz's like above 60ish probably but i want some more lows... so what im thinking of doing is for now get some midbass speakers (or maybe even just some good 6.5's) so play from like 65-70hz up and leave the rest the same... then later replace my 15 with an 18" Q tuned at 28 and then bring the midbass down to like 60-65...? does this seem logical? Also would a 18 Q in a 5 cu ft box work well or do i need to get closer to like 6 or 6.5

Yep...dont claim to be an artist...never have been... But i can make/fabricate anything i put my hands one ...the concept for a little something to come here in 2 weeks....

Was honestly curious how the xcons line up with the fi q's. I always hear great things about both, was just looking for input on how they compare from someone who knows more than me. Which I imagine is about anyone here. Thanks in advance!

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
