Subwoofers / Speakers

I got a alpine pdx 1.600 and an infinity kappa perfect 10.1 sub....as the only sub. Is it gonna blow it/make it sound like chit? The RMS is 600 on the amp, and 350 RMS on the sub.

I am looking for a 15in Mag, 2nd Gen, in good shape. I would post this in the sale forum but i think there is a problem with it. I may comsider a newer one but i think its out of my budget. Also should i go one 15in Mag or two 12in Dayton MKIII?

anyone have the parameters layin around for the ixl 10? Mach 5 took the ixl 10 off there sight and now i cant find the specs. any help is appreciated

i know yall have heard me say i have 2 15" cvx's in sealed box which is about 5 cubic feet!! i wanna show off at prom next weekend but i only have 1 fi q 15"right now, the other one i ordered about 3 days ago, so it will take like a week for the other one to come in.... right now i have the q in the box on my kicker zx 1000. however i still have the 2 cvx's handy, so should i just use those to show off and put my titanium 2400 amp back in to push them? or would yall just leave the Q in on the zx 1000? to me the Q sounds alot better and picks up more frequencies but i'm still kinda breaking the sub in, i've probably played it for about 1 hour total! if you were in my shoes…

ive got boston pro60's for the front. im was thinkin, maybe a set of those 6x9 tang band "subs" for the rear, but when i eventually put in my 12" xxx, i probably wouldnt even be able to tell the tang bands are there. should i do coaxial's in the rear? whats a decent set of 6x9s if so?

ok so i have a 2002 Grand Prix GTP and i am woundering what you all think would be louder... a single 15 inch death penalty or 2 12 inch Sa 12s... 15 ported at about 27htz and the 12s bout 32htz open to any suggestions. thank you in advanced. i have a sundown SAE-1200 DV2 and i have the big 3 done...

So I finally order a set of cheap comps to upgrade the crappy stock speakers. I'm wondering whats the best way to position them when you are so tall you pretty much sit in the back seat to drive? Right now I tend to hear the rear speakers more so then the fronts as I sit so far back. The front stage will be louder then the stocks running off the HU, so I think I might be ok. And advice from you other tall people? I'm 6'6" for inquiring minds. I was thinking maybe building pods just off the bottom corner of the door by my foot and firing the mid's towards the back more and possible putting the tweets on the pillars. Clueless right now. Goals are just to keep up with the su…

ok....i have one of the 12" dvc power bass xtreme subs......is there anyway to tell if i have the dual one ohm or dual 2 ohm subs??? any markings or anything like that? dont have a multimeter so i cant exactly test for myself

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.

Alrighty, so I picked myself up a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD a couple weeks ago. It's got navigation and the Boston Acoustics 6 speaker system (which incidentally is not all that bad for factory, but it is still factory...). I plan on keeping the factory headunit. Peripheral makes a line out converter with a harness that connects before the factory amp. So my plans for the rest of the system are as follows: I want to do an active frontstage. I want to use the Sundown 100.4 and use the built in crossovers to begin with and eventually add an outboard crossover (incidentally I wouldn't mind some opinions on a decent active crossover). For woofers I'm going to use Mach5 MLI65's…

i need the specs on the old school 12w6... this show down will be going down in a couple days.. i'm betting my friend 10 bux that the 2 10s i'm getting are going to be louder than his 2 12s... i'll be using a self made ported enclosure... (if all goes well) he'll be using a prefab sealed enclosure... we are going to be using my amp as is has as much power as we would dare send to the speakers. both will see their rms both will see their max... i'm not sure if we are going to go over that we'll see how the max goes first... (yah i'm a wuss) we will have an uninformed judge to give us by ear results... showdown sometime this week...

I keep coming on to the boards and looking at everyone setups, and god its making me want to buy some Magnum 15s. I already have 2 of the 12s (claw basket) but dang im such a basshead. Oh well, i guess i can feel lucky that i have the original prototype. (its still not a 15 though) lol. oh well, have fun with yall mags guys

Just acquired (2) RD Sonance v2 10's. Does any body know what the recommended box specs are? Plan on running ported, thought id see if any one had them and / or could help me out. Thanks

I got shafted by robotunderground with a dank adire audio brahma 12". It died after about 6 months of use running it on an Arc Audio 1000.1, 800w @ 4ohms. I researched about his frankenstein subs after the fact unfortunately. So to the point at hand, I haven't really kept up with what current drivers are out there and what is quality since I would say 2007 or 2008 when I got a Fi BTL 15". I've been looking at their 12" BL, RE SXX 12" and the SSA ICON 12". With all the objectivity you have, can you say I'm making a sound decision picking up the ICON? I keep hearing when US Amps bought out RE, their product quality diminished. I loved the Fi sub I had, so I poked around th…

I've been thinking of doing 4 DCON 15"s. I need help deciding if I should do s4 or d4 voice coils. I haven't chose an amp yet because I wanted to make sure I was getting the right equipment.

best 2 way comps in 6.5 " $500 to $1000 the set of front stage needs to be able to work off a 2 channel amp with 200 to 250 watts per channel what are you suggestions

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 …

My buddy Brandon got a pair of D2 15s installed yesterday. This morning he wired up his MA Audio MA5082HX amp up to them -- their 4000-watt Class A/B amp from two model years ago. 2 ohms is not the optimal load for the amp, but no matter... with -32dB earplugs in my ears are still tingling. We drove up to a local stereo shop to use their meter, which is horribly uncalibrated so don't use these numbers to compare to anything... his car pulled a 148 dB score. Get this... the shop has a van with no less than 28 Memphis Depth Charge 10" subs in a wall and a Memphis MOJO amp and that only pulls a 152 dB score. So 4 dB off 28 10s with a pair of 15s in a stock Explorer , no wall…

Well ive decided to take the TC9 and recoen it to an 18. im hopping to get the hook up and learn how to recone speakers the right way. as for the e12a coen and coil. Would it be possible for me to remove the surround and spider all surgery like and put a new on on and sell it? i know putting a new surround on a cone is easy, spiders, however, i dont know. Ideas?

ok guys i was wondering if a single RE SX 12 will we good for a starter system... i already have a 2.0cf box ported and tuned to 32hz.. will this be a good first setup?

i need a z 15 d2 u guys now if any left i pm jacob but got no answer yet need to buy one yesterday

Alright, I have a Chevy s10 extended cab, my friend has a Ford ranger ext cab with one audiobhan 15'', sealed box with 400 rockford watts going to it. Its acually a pretty chitty sub, but it gets the job done, right. So my question is, how can a put one 10'' in my truck to have a better "system" than his. I don't really need to be that much louder than him, but I want it to sound GOOD. really low and tight if possible from a 10. Im not gunna say a sq sub because I really don't know what that would mean. I have looked at the Fi Q10 with a Hifonics amp. Would this do it? Or could I go a little smaller with something like a Soundspliter or AA? The box would be custom built b…

What do you guys think I should use for a single good 4x6 in the dash I would use peerless but they don

So at the moment i own an orion xtr pro 124 powered by a piece of shit boss 1500. I know it's a terrible set up but i was tight on money at the time. Right now i have about 500$ to spend on a woofer and about 400-600 for an amplifier. I drive a 1999 mustang and i would be building a custom box according to the woofer. I listen to mostly dubstep and rap and love the low's. I was looking at either a 15" mayhem or a 15" Zcon? Any of you owned either of those and know how they sound or how loud they are?

Did anyone ever compare the old Magnum vs the Rl-p ?? I doubt the D2 has been compared. Just wondering if a pair of d2 15s w/ a 20.1 will pound on my pair of rl-p on ~1500. Ported :-D.
