    Kinda sad to see em go, but now I not only have a father who doesn't complain about them taking up space, but I also have the opportunity to get something else to replace em I think a pair of MAW15's in the wagon would do very nicely, and they'd be a LOT easier to hide

    Trying to post a design I drew up. Dont worry it is not stick figures. I want to get your opinions on this box and amp rack. If anyone could allow me to send it to them through email and then post it I would appreciate it. I tried to use the "image" option and it did not work.

    Well after running my 15" mag for a while I noticed recently that it seemed like it was running out of juice when I'd turn it up. It was like it wanted to get louder but couldn't. My lights at night seemed to dim really bad. Then a few days ago I go to turn my car on and the battery is almost completely dead and the engine won't turn over. I didn't leave any electrical on overnight. I got a jump and the battery seemed to work to start the car two more times that day but I left my stereo off so there was no strain on the electrical system. I lifted the battery out to replace it and there was a large puddle of battery acid in the battery tray. I had to use all kinds …

    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.

    Same motor and soft part assembly. The difference is cone size and basket. Same amount of power is applied and the same size/tuning enclosure. What I am noticing in winISD is that the two 15" are more efficient and the four 12" have a less than 3db higher output. Is it fair to say that the output difference between four 12" and two 15" are negligible with same power and enclosure? FYI I compared four 12" xcons and two 15" xcons in 8^3ft tubed to 32hz. I also compared four 15" xcons and two 18" xcons in 15^3ft tuned to 32hz. The 15" & 18" comparison gave the same results as mentioned above.

    OK... Currently I'm running a pair of PPI DCX 12, they've been good to me, I enjoy them, but they don't have a lot of excursion & it seams like they bottom out on me at times... Lately I've been thinking about getting a RE XXX, either a 12 or 15... What would you do?

    Im looking for a sub to replace a 10" IDQV2. I will be running it off a JL 500/1. I like the specs on the Fi SSD and the SSA Icon but dont really see a huge diff between the 2, other than getting the copper coil and BP Power (whatever that is..) on the SSD. Can someone please tell me what BP Power is. I searched but didnt find a clear answer.

    Anyone be able to give me an idea of what this enclosure may be tuned to?? I have a picture and a sketch with the measurements I took. The bottom right drawing is the port. It is shaped like an L, and above that I was trying to show that it is 16" in height. Any help would be great. Just trying to get a rough idea of what this enclosure is all about. It a "Turbo Vent" enclosure, could not find anything on the internet about them.

  12. I have a 12 spoke SI D2 and right now it is running in a sealed enclosure and it is not suiting my needs. I was told if I ported it, it would be a whole other sub. Supposedly sound incredible. Just wondering if anyone could help me out with some box dimensions for a ported enclosure. THe best way to get ahold of me would be to email me at [email protected] Thanks Adam

  15. Just looking through some websites dreaming about a future midbass/fullrange setup and happened across these speakers http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=297-210 I was just curious if anyone has any experience/opinions on these and if they would be realistic in a SQ type setup. Chances are I won't be upgrading my system any time soon but these caught my eye and at 12 bucks, I might order some just for the heck of it. Thoughts? Alex

    I'm currently in the process of moving my 12" Mag D2 from my Mustang to my Rav4. In my Mustang, the Mag is in a 2.5 ft^3 Ported box tuned to about 32 Hz and powered with a Massive P1000.1 that's rated at 880 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. When it goes into the Rav4, it's going to be in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box. I'm planning on using the same amp. But my buddy has a Massive P1500.1 amp that's rated at 1250 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I can buy it from him. I'm sure 880 Watts is good to power the Mag in a sealed enclosure, but I was wondering if the extra 370 Watts would give the Mag more output that's is audiable in a sealed box. And would a Mag want more power in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box?

    I am currently in the middle of my box build. I will post the full build later. The box is 16" wide x 28" tall x 25" deep. The sub and port are up. It will live in between the back seats in a 2008 Tundra. Powered by a 3000.1 Taramps. I have two baffles and a "beauty" panel cut. My question is do I need to use the double baffle if I properly glue the "beauty" panel to the baffle or can I go with a single baffle the "beauty" panel? Just wondering If I can save a little bit of height and still be safe and solid enough. Thanks for the help. Here is my box design.
