Subwoofers / Speakers

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 thinkin about buyin a mag off of someone but dont know how to tell which one it is? Does it even matter which 1 it is? Does 1 have better power handling then the other or would you say they pretty much have the same? heres a pic http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/194/picture001vt3.jpg

whast the prices for the bm and the mag d2's? i was wondering for each size.

Is there a manual? if there is, someone could send it to me and i would courteously make it into a .pdf file, if it isn't already.

I was wonderin what would be louder a 13" W7 or a 15" Brahma? recently bought a brahma nd a friend of mine is buying a w7 he bet me his would be louder. I've only heard the 10" W7 but nevr the 13" version Pioneer P8-MP 15" Adire Audio Brahma 6.5" Infinity Perfect components 6"by 9" Infinity Perfect Coaxils Hifonics 1800D Hifonics ZX 6400 2.5 cu ft ported enclosure Optima Yellow top battery Stinger Alternator 18 yrs old nd this took me 2 years to save up 4 but well worth it!!

should i try and find someone to recone my type r 12? does any know who can do it if so?

so what kind of out put are people getting with the 15" IXL sub what kind of DB's are people getting? I have a MJ-18 (not a MJ-18M the old MJ-18) and I would like to try some thing new right now im doing about 140/143's I would like to be able to do 145 and but sound good to I just dont know if it would be louder so I'm just trying to get a idea of what people are doing..FYI I dont think 145's will be to hard b/c I have a civic hatch back O and im not asking "will it be louder" that's a newbe Q Im just curious as to what DB's you are getting

Ok guys. Subs are in the mail. Mono and 4 Channel amp will come with my next two checks. (RE SEx 12, AQ1200D, AQ4x90) As for the money I have now, I need 2 pairs of speakers. I have an Explorer, so 6x9's are out. I'm leaning towards 6.5 coaxials for the front, and either a cheaper pair of 6.5's or 6x8's for a rear fill. There is a hole already made for a tweeter in the door (as the car has a system in it already), so components would be a great choice, EXCEPT....I'm working in a semi-limited budget (not willing to spend more than 160 on both pairs). With all that said, I have two choices picked out. Rockford Fosgate T1652 for front, and P1653 for rear. Still a skeptic tho…

I'm very keen on buying the Rl-P from soundsplinter, i've heard all good thing about them, absolutely nothing bad. Recently my cousin purchase an idmax woofer, 12 inch one, it sounded awesome, the best sounding woofer i've ever heard. question is, how are the Rl-p compare to this IDmax woofer?? Are they comparable in SQ term?? Price wise, SS is defintely more attractive. So anyone with experience with those two drivers please feel free to post your comment. Thanks in advance.

when someone say they are going to switch their speakers to active what does that mean and does it effect anything at all?

When are the BM's going to be out ?

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.

right now i have 2 12" alpine type-r's powered by a Viper 1200d amp. They are in a small sealed box. Would a 12" mag be better. i am looking for sound quality mostly, and spl only secondly. in a 01 jetta.

I am really looking forward to getting my first system... Right now...im pretty set on a headunit...probably a kenwood(KDC-MP735U) or pioneer(DEH-P59000IB) But im looking heavily into Subs....Mainly the Mach 5 IXL(12.2 and 10.2) and the SSA Icon...i know there isnt a HUGE fan base for these subs but as far as getting loud...and sounding decent which is better...because i could spend 300 and get two IXL 10s but i would end up spending more money in the electrical system... I saw the Fisher Customs has a good box/woofer deal with the Icons.... All in all i want some clarity and some bass...but i dont wanna use my whole trunk up...thanks!

I just order 2 maw-15's from the sound solutions shop. I gonna run them sealed and power them with a hifonics bx1500d about 1300-1400 clean watts at 1 ohm to both of them together. How hard do you think they will hit and how loud? Im running a fi ssd ported with the same amp right now but i need more , since my car has bad cabin gain. Will this set up kill my 12 inch ssd I have now? Im trying to get my setup louder and deeper then a fi q 12 inch ported powered by a 1000 watt lanzer amp. My friend has that setup in his scion tc, and it bangs in that car. I have a 4 door sedan and decided i needed more to get as loud as his. I just hope this is what im looking for. Any Tho…

Does anyone know where the t/s parameters to the 18's of either the 9500 or the hdc3 can be found? I am trying to get a box designed but the companies don't have them posted that I can see.

if i hook up my magnum 15" to my phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1 will it be ok or should i buy a weaker amp??

After doing some testing with a few different size subs and enclosures, I've decided that I need to go with a small enclosure. I don't want to go much larger than one cube. The box I have now is 1.21 cubic feet, and I that's about as large as I want to go (preferably smaller, though). So, I'm needing some suggestions for subs that work well in smaller enclosures but still get loud. Budget (for the sub) will be around $150, give or take. I'll have a custom box built, probably downfiring so I can throw stuff in the back and not worry about punching a hole in the sub. The amp I have does 300 @ 4 and 600 @ 2. This is a daily driver and I listen to just about everything.…

what kinda audio EQ can i get from japan that would be costly here but cheap there..... i have zenon... the company that makes RD audio amps.. and others.. morel speakers... i would like to get a buncha stuff for my front stage in both my cars

Why is it that the IXL 10 and 12 inch subs have 1000 watt power handling ratings but the 15" and 18" are rated at 800 watts??

I've been researching some different subs that are priced around 100 to 150$. and i've been looking into the audioque sdc2.5 series ( as the title says ). I'm looking for a daily sub that can take a beating all day at rms and i wont have to worry about it. ( obviously right amp settings, etc ) I was thinking about either a wall in my explorer with 4 15's ( clamshell type box) or do a crx style box with 4 12's. I have more then enough room for both cause i have all of behind the back seat. demensions are like 52 wide 40ish deep and 40ish tall (estimations i dont remember the exact from when i last measured) Sq is important but i would like to compete locally and hopefully …

Hey guys havent been on in awhile but since then have decided to change my set up. Right now I am running a Lethal Injection 12 at 600wrms. I was thinking about using my amp to it's full potential and getting 3 sa-8. I have a SAX-1200D. Ok now on to my actual question. My wiring options are either 1.33333.... ohms or .5 ohms. Which ohm load would be better for my amp? I feel with the 1.3 ohm load the subs wont be seeing full power and I feel with the .5 ohm load I might ruin my amp. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

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.

Is there any companies out there that would be willing to custom make a recone kit with a high roll surround? Say I wanted to recone a BTL or something or that sort, but I really wanted a high-roll rubber surround. I know TC makes their subs with them, as does SoundSplinter with their Rl-p 18, but I want to do it with a sub like the BTL, DD 9500, or something else in an 18.

A friend of mine has a 700 watt JBL amp and wants a pair of 12s that'll hit hard and sound good sealed. These are the subs we're trying to choose between. Which would you choose out of these? 2 SI BM 12s sealed 2 JL Audio W3v3 12s sealed 2 Treo TSX 12s sealed 2 RE SR 12s sealed 2 Audiopulse EPIC 12s sealed
