Subwoofers / Speakers

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

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!!

I have been wanting to try out a 12" Mag for a while now. The guy is selling an older version for $200+shipping. I think he may go a little lower, but I dont know yet. Looks to be in decent shape, few cosmetic battle scars. Major scratches on the basket but still looks OK. Now this is what I am so skeptical about, he reglue the spider to the cone and basket. Looks like potential trouble in the future. I really want one that I can have many hours of listening enjoyment from. Please give some feedback on what you think.

I'm getting an enclosure and I haven't seen it yet, but the dimensions I gave were 48x14x?? I want to bolt it to the floor of my car, but I just realized I have a bolt to loosen the spare in the way... the enclosure would cover it. Is there anyway to bolt it on brackets or something to raise it off the floor, so I can gain access to the bolt, while still securing it? Any good ideas? Heres the cut in the rug for the bolt. (It's the U shape in the rug)

Audiopulse Epic 8" subwoofer with dual 4ohm voice coils with blue basket and black cone. What i am really interested in is members who have used this model and best results sealed or ported enclosure? What kind of wattage will they take? Where can i buy one since Audiopulse is right out.

I was recently asked to do a recone on an mt 12. No problem, got the old softparts out and when I put the new softparts, the surround doesn't touch the landing on the basket. The spider is seated nicely, yet the surround needs to go down almost 1/2". The new softparts on the motor : Old softparts vs new The recone was bought from the local RE dealer and he also is confused by the spider / surround spacing. I don't think pressing the surround down is a good idea because it will limit up-travel. What are my options now ? Except for getting another recone....

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.

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.

Will be buying two sa d2 series 10s for single cab truck will be buyin the saz 1000 or the jl x series 1000 amp. Thanks for all input

A buddy of mine still has the first system he bought a couple years ago consisting of 2 Kicker CVX 15s in a sealed box (the shop said they couldnt make a ported box with space they had, but I ran it on Torres an the box would have only had to be 2in taller to run a port which would put him at the top of his back seat.) He said he likes his 15s but he wants to be "louder" and hit the lows better. I told him I could build a ported box for his car, or we could upgrade subs for the new box. I have him looking at the XCON 18. He has a HIFONICS Brutus 2200. I figured at 1 ohm he would see 1700-1800 watts. Would 1 XCON 18 in 6 cube box at 34hz be as "loud" or "louder" than the 2…

Since I have 90% of my equipment for the blowthrough, I have been questioning whether my front stage will be able to keep up with my substage. I have been thinking about finally going active on my front stage. I currently have Alpine Type X 3ways. And I'm looking for mids(or a combination of mids) that have a somewhat good level of midbass and clarity. I'd also like a relatively good tweeter to go along with the mids. I typically like mellow tweeters but I'm open to anything as long as it isn't overly aggressive. My 8445 may not be perfectly suited for active applications but it'll be fine. I will be powering this with my sundown 100.2. I'm open to 2way and 2way suggest…

Ok so im pretty much getting brand new everything What I have now... HU: Alpine CDA- 9831 Current Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500S And I got a rf 12" sub in the back. Speakers: factory Car: 1997 Honda Accord SE So far I'm planning on.... (havn't bought any of these yet) Im pretty set on the sub and amp, not so sure about the speakers. Subwoofer: 15" SSD w/ copper wire (i want it sealed, but coudlnt find the specs...) $215 ( I might go with the 12") Amp: AudioQue 1200D $240 Front Speakers: im looking at these http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70 They looked like a good deal, but I just want some feedback because I'm pretty new at this. If you…

Just thought I'd post and see if anyone happens to have a box design for under the seat of a Silverado Ext. Cab for a 12" Mag D2 ported? I've been working on mocking up a design - but I was hoping someone else may have already done it. I've got a 2" lift kit installed on the rear bench seat - so I've got more room than normal. Also, looking for ideas on which way the sub and port should be facing. All thoughts and ideas much appreciated - thanks!

Soooo, after tons of researching and trying to figure out what I want to use in my boys truck....I think I have settled on getting 2 10" IXL's.....one question though, and I do apologize. I am very new to all of this and usually pay someone to just do all my stuff, but this time I will be building the box and such, which I can figure out. My question is power, at the moment I have a RF10001...1000 watts at 1 Ohm, will this be enough to push these subs or do I need something better/bigger? I would love to stay with just this for power reasons, but I will do what I have to obviously...may just have to get a bigger underhood battery and alt, which I am trying to avoid. The…

Thinking of getting 2 sets of Diamond Audio's s600s (6.5" comp with the silk tweet). How is the mid bass and how well does this set take that 170rms rating? Looking to keep up with 2-BTL12s. One set in the doors and the other in the kicks. Both pairs of woofers would be sealed in its own glassed enclosure just big enough to fit the woofer.

This is what I have currently a sundown sax 1200d on a treo 15 ssi in a 3 ft cu box ported to 35 hz facing rear and I am thinking going 2 gcon 10s firing forward sealed off from trunk it's a little smaller cone area but would be lighter on suspension car is a 99 camry trunk is 32 deep 19 tall 38 wide just want to get most bang for buck do u think I will lose any output or will I gain

APRIL FOOLS !!!!!!!! Stereo Integrity Subs rock!

also if i order it today how long will it take to get to buffalo ny , thankz

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!

Ok in my new f150 ext cab turns out without serious work the p3s I traded for wont fit lol so I need assistance a relatively loud set of 10s or 12s that are less than 120 a piece and have a mounting depth less than 5.25 and airspace wise sealed between .6 and 1 cu ft thanks for suggestions

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.

Im really considering these subs. I have a 12" Fi/SX hybrid right now and am looking to get 2 10's instead. Im contemplating 2 soundsplinter rli-10's, 2 Fi SSD 10's, or 2 Lv3 10's from DC. What would be the recommended box size ported for 2 of these 10's? I'll be powering it with an ED nine.1 Also what would be the total price for 2 Lv3 10's shipped to 70051?

Nick/anyone who has heard SI components please tell me how they compare (SQ) to other high end component sets like the focal utopia, k2p, cdt, etc.

So i have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe. My enclosure is around 3.9 cubes net at 30hz, i know its mall (mostly port... I had an Fi Q 15" dual 1 on a Soundstream Dtr 1.3400 (3400 rms @ .5 ohm/ 2200 @ 1) and metered 146.7@45hz. I got a second Q and did 148.1 wired at .25 ohm @45hz. I later dropped a BTL 18" dual 2 in the same box and now i meter 145.8 @48hz on 2200 rms. But the 18" sounds extrmely louder than the 2 Q's.. But i would expect it from a lower peak freq.? The Tahoe flexes alot more but wouldnt that make of a lower peak? Any input on this is apreciated. Thanks

Are there any updates forthcoming for the Kicker Component sets? I'm still pondering about what to replace my CDT's with. Not too much info on the home page... Thanks -Nick
