Subwoofers / Speakers

I picked up a Old School Memphis 1500 today and was wondering what should i pair it with. I mostly want SQ but also want my sub to be LOUD. I listen to all types of music, mostly rap but also R&B, rock, and death metal. I was thinking of going with these subs: 1 Memphis Mojo 15, 1 AA Havoc 15, or 1 Orion HCCA 12.

i have been looking for a component set and i was considering going with something from cdt. I have never heard these with my own ears, but i have heard or read a few good things about them online a while back. Or if there is something better i should consider please let me know i was looking at the CL-61A-25 PRO here is a link to them http://www.woofersetc.com/p4596/CL61A25-PRO--CDT-Audio-Classic-65"-2Way-Component-Speakers.htm what do yall think, and what amp should i look into to power them?

planning a sealed box for a 18" rl-p, and i want this thing to be solid. first things first, im gonna resin it. should i do the entire inside, or just the edges? i was thinking mainly the edges to give it a nice tite seal. can i use resin instead of caulk? or should i caulk first, then resin? 2nd, instead of using a 2x baffle, i was thinking about bracing it. i saw this bracing thing from bcae: http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm and was going to stick 2 of those in the box. (dims are 42x12.5x18.75) also maybe add some polyfill. the box + the bracing and displacement is going to be around 4.18 cubic ft w/o the fill thanks in advance

So the new SQ hdx are out and just wondering who has played with the 12s, I’m contemplating getting them in the dual 1s and want to know what people think? Only person I know running them has a wall of the 15s and I run 2 12s so not quite the comparison

been out of the loop for about 3-4 years now and dont know whos making what anymore. not looking for anything crazy just something to fill in the low end for the hour long drive everyday. small box, low power, >$100 music- little of a lot. country and rock mostly. a little top 40, hip hop, talk radio.... going in a civic trunk. got an alpine headunit 9855 i think, the one with the "glide" bar at the bottom.? jl 6.5" in the doors with an alpine 2 channel amp. not to brand loyal, but i dont want junk. again nothing fancy just wanna fill out the music. i think a single 10" or 8" will work. so question is whats a "good deal" now a days? - rob

How long do you guys recommend breaking in the ssd's b4 going to competition with them and putting a lot of power on them?

space problem in my trunk i can create a box with external dimensions: 28x16x40 inches. It means 9.8cuft. I have 0.8' wall thickness and remain 8cf Vb for speaker. In this case i have 5.5-6cuft for speaker and 1.5-2cuft for port. I know for one 18' sub i need 7cuft , but my question is: I can create a box with 5.5-6cuft ? I can tuning it at 30Hz and works properly ? (If not i buy 15' and i create optimal box) thanks

Found a deal for 2 great condition AA Avalanche 15's with the xbl^2 technology motors. Both for $500 plus shipping. Sound like a deal or what? I was planning on using my 15" Q for a budget setup but from what I know about the old avalanches I want them so bad...even though I'd have to get a better amp, bigger box and upgrade my electrical I can just imagine how worth it it would be. Ideas? Btw they are both dual 2 ohm subs so I'd be looking at what options as far as amp load and such? And by that I mean that I know what loads are possible but what could be the best way to go about it?

I am getting a weird noise from my 12" BM, it sounds like the coil is rubbing or that its bottoming out. It is not on big time bass songs, only on like rock when a kick drum hits hard. I have it in a box I built to try and get it to 2cu ft and 34hz. I am using a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D to power it and have each voice coil hooked up to its own output on the amp. Any help is appreciated.

Ok so here is my question. I am reconing my sub. My friend has leftover glue from his recone. He ordered this glue from Fi and it came with a bottle of activator. He gave me this glue for my recone and I need to know if its okay to use with out the activator. i placed a bead of it to dry and it hardened up, Do I really need it to complete my recone process. If not I have a tube of Goop that I want to use for the repair, I was told its okay to use it for the recone. If there is anything else that I can get locally please let me know. I did google to find out any info but couldnt find it. Thanks in advance.

also what does this compair to in the Fi line up? Thanks

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?

anybody have any experience with these woofers?i seen where a guy hit a 153 with 3 db drive 15s and 2400 watt am,and i know its all about install,im really wanting to do 4 15's, and around 4,000 watts,i know the db drive will hold around 1200+ and the ssd holds about 1,000,its going in a blazer behind the rear seats, im looking for something to do a 148-150 on music and something that moves alot of air

Ok, I already have one 3512 dual 2 ohm and a single saz-1500d. just wondering if it would be ok to get another dual 2ohm 3512 and wire them down to .5 on a saz 3500, or to wire them at 2 ohm on 2 1500's? expanding in the future is a possibility too.

I am in Orlando and there is a shop that my friend owns and runs and it is called Audio Excellence. Anyways when I was there the other week they had a customer's car and it was an old classic sedan. Anyways it had three 10s sealed and there was a port on the rear deck. When I asked them about it they told me that it eliminates the rattle in the trunk and fires the bass into the cabin. Has anyone know what is the true nature of doing this besides tearing up the rear deck. Thank you Ebrahim

plan on running about 7500 watts on 1 zcon 15

Any reccomendations?

How well do these subs handle daily? I have around 2.7-2.9cuft NET MAX to work with (after port). What frequency do they like to be tuned to? I would like to daily beat and do comps so 38-40hz, or preferrebly lower? I would probably run 1000-1100wrms daily and 3000 for comps (a memphis mcd1000.1 and a sundown 3000.1) with a second battery, big 3, and 130amp alt (factory 90amp). cliffs. box size tuning port size daily good/bad? what do u guys think?

I have this ma audio sub but i cant find any information on it. its old so i know its discontinued but if any one can help me that wood be great.

hey guy im thinking about buying a 1990 impala to play around with instead of having a sub infested Denali for everyday use...my dont know how much trunk space it have i can post some pic if it will help but heres what i was thinking..four sealed 15's, three ported 15's, or two 18's ported facing the trunk lid...opinions and suggestions please

well i have a set of alpine type r 6x9's that i used to use for the rear fill, ever since june when i got my k's the pressure would build inside the trunk and distort the hell out of type r's in the rear deck. so they have been sitting in my room for some time now and i was thinking about making a set of Infinite baffel kick panels for them. i was considering getting some crystal comp set, but i wanted to see what i could do with what i already have and save some money hopefully. i want Infinite baffel because i know they will sound good like that and because the trunk used to act like a giant box for them. so what do you guys think about this here idere? al

I looked around for some information about porting these subs and only came up with sealed. I just ordered 4 of these to go in the back of my durango, so space really isnt an issue. Could someone either give me a box design, or TS per. so I can do it my self. Thanks in advance

whats everyone think of these woofers???
