Subwoofers / Speakers

Does anybody on here know if rockford recones their old power hx2 subs.

i need a subwoofer or two that will fit in a 2cu.ft. sealed box with 6 1/2" of mounting depth and i would prefer two 12's but i am open to all suggestions. i like it to be more spl , i no it is a ported box but i would like SPL over SQ so i need help plz

which brand of subs do you think is best? of course fi is one of them lol! and how much did you get it? durable(long lasting) worth spending your money on in short it's worth it. its quality is proportional to its price or cheaper. a clear but loud sub. if you want to listen to some music you can, and if you want to get loud it is capable of doing so.. about 1000 rms thanks everyone!

OK, so before everyone starts about how overpriced these subs are for what you get, I have a question. My friend bought one 13 W7 about 2 years ago and he's looking to sell it now...gettin married, well you know how that goes. Anyways he said if I was interested he would take $350 for it. Im pretty sure it hasn't been abused cause he usually treats his stuff good and also I know for a fact he was powering it with some type of Power Acoustik amp. Either way it probly wasnt seeing 1000 watts. Im gettin a newer car for college graduation and wanted to start with a totally different setup, replacing all the speakers in whatever it is that I get. Ive only heard one of th…

Hey, im just wondering if anyone has a 15" audiobahn. so i can know what you think about it.

Hi, all... I'm currently running a TC-3K Dual 2Ohm on a Sundown 1500D and looking to make a change. I like the single 15" setup so I'm looking at the Havoc 15". The enclosure would be sealed, net 2.5 cubes, 1.5" mounting baffle for the sub. Looking for LSQ setup. Any of you have experience with both of the subs or how the Havoc would compare. The TC-3K hits incredibly hard down low but it's just not as "tight" as I would like and doesn't have much of a top end in my opinion. Also I'm open to other subs as well. Budget less than $400. Thanks...

ok im trying to help out my homie. he wants to get 1 15'' ssa icon... can you run that on a jl audio 1000/1v2 amp? thanks

I bought a pair of 3-way 6x9s (pioneer, not the best, but definately better than the stock 99 dodge stereo), and was thinking about adding another pair under the backseat after i get my sub. Would it hurt to get 2-ways (would it sound bad mixed with the 3-ways). I dont see any reason not to, but maybe im missing something.

just ordered my first 2 LvL 4 15's out of four total... i cant wait to get these things here.. all the good news and reviews i've heard about them, i now get to experience first hand.... the set up will include..... 1- 1997 Ford Explorer XLT.. 1- pioneer deh-7800mp w/80g ipod 4- LvL 4 15's 1- American Bass vfl 400.1 2- lfb2k's....batts will come when i order my other 2 15's.. just going with 2 2k's for now.. 2 runs of power and 2 runs of ground...1/0g Big 3 - 1/0g more to come, just figured i'd get started on what will be going into the Explorer.... ................Build log to come............ i'll get some sexy pics up when things start coming in..…

im getin ready to buy an amp for my front stage but i figured i do some research on an active system. first off what i have now is a sony cdx gt310 with the ipod control. (im thinking only having 1 preamp output is a problem) polk db1000 tweeter, db525 5-1/4" coaxils, db690 in the rear deck, kenwood excelon x10d runing a 12" aa arsenal. i was thinking a 2way front stage would be best. i could fab a 6"~ woofer in the door and use the polk tweeters. what are some good products and what will i need to pull this off? i dont want to spend alot on this upgrade, it more of about learning how it works then buying 500$ worth of equipment to show up my friends.

Some kid at my skwel wants to get 4 of the ma audio hk 15's r they any good?

As the topic says. Does anybody have first experience with these 6.5" component sets? How do they sound? Are the highs edgy? Is the midbass there? With my accommodation price...they're definitely one of my first picks. Any other recommendations around the, oh let's say, $130 price range? For power I'm looking at around 100 watts RMS...most likely a SAX 100.2 (or SAE 50.4 bridged? ). I'm not sure I can justify the extra costs of going active; I'm not terribly picky about the lack of adjustability.

i was wondering can 18'' subs keep up with songs with fast notes and bass and be accurate like 15's? what i mean is not just rap songs with long drown out bass like booooom..booooom...(lol) but like some rock songs which are fast..so im just wondering if 18's will miss the beats?

what the main diffences and how do u go about both an active and passive system. which is more effective? which is more expensive? im runing polk db 5.25s in the door and db1000 tweets in the sails. i was thinking about amping them and runing new mids because with the tweeters on the coaxils and the extra tweets in the sails it gets alittle to bright. also i have a lack of midrange to mid bass. sould i just amp them and see how it sounds or replace them with a new pair.... i heard aa is putin out some new mids but what would u all suggest.

I recently burnt one of the leads on my sub. is soldering the wires back together the best way to fix it? if not what is the best way?

What's going on guys. I've been putting together some ideas and funds for my next project. The car is a 99' Honda Civic Ex coupe. So far I've picked up a Kicker kx2500.1 for my subs. My next question may come off as a FAQ, but this is a more specific question towards my application. Right now it's a toss up for me between 2 12" Fi Q's or a single 15" BTL. Either system will be sealed off from the trunk in around 4 cu. ft tops. I'll play a variety of music on this system, mostly rap, but it will be shown off FREQUENTLY... I'm just looking to get as loud/low to the ear as possible on a daily basis. I am open to other ideas as well, I'm just favoring these 2 in particular du…

i currently have 3 JL 10w0's in a sealed box running of an infinity amp that puts out 600rms @ 2ohms. Im frustrated with the wimpy bass im getting from the JL's. I found a great deal on a MJ 18 4 ohm. I would plan on putting the mj in a ported box and i was wondering if the MJ would increase my output with the same amp?

i just got into car audio and also just ordered my 12"bl and i mostly listen to rap and im wondering whats the best tuning for the fi, where it hits the lows awesome as well the the mids and highs?....any feedback would help

Ok well I thought I was gonna get me a few lvl4 12's to put in my car and do a lower class in NSPL. But I found a pickup that I am thinking about buying and just cutting the hell out of it. So if I get this truck I believe I may do a bit of serious bass racing. So My question is could a lvl5 15/18 take an IA 40.1 daily. I have never been known to care for the one note wonder and never shy enough not to let any one that wanted to take a listen and look around. So I am in search of a sub that can take 3000+ for a good duration. I figure I may as well make a wind tunnel out of it for the fun. I am also looking at a few other subs for the job but I seem to be really dr…

I've got two 10" kicker L5s in my extended cab ranger right now, running off an SAE-1000D amp and it's not loud enough for me. I prefer something that sounds good, and I don't compete so I need a sub for a daily driver. Trying to stay around $250 per sub, I was looking at the Elemental Designs 16Ov2, SSA Icon, Mach5 IXL or possibly the AA Arsenal. Both the eD and the IXL stand out to me, I've heard some favorable things about them. I aim to buy one now and run it ported off around 1000W RMS, and add a second later when I get another SAE-1000D strapped (1800W). What would you recommend I get and why? I'm ready to buy now, I am selling my current 10s locally to pay for t…

I've got two Havoc 15's for my extended cab ford ranger. I want to build a box for them but I'm debating between ported and sealed. I know ported can sound good, but there are certain advantages a sealed box will always have. (such as transients) I listen to primarily rock music. I have about 8cu ft available, and two 15s. How should I go about designing or choosing a box?

my buddy is looking to get a new system. he is lookin at 2 15in kicker cvx and a kicker 06ZX1000.1 amp but im trying to tell him to get 2 BL's what type of amp should i tell him to get for that money?

First, let me start off by thanking this forum for dealing with all of my threads. They've honestly been all over the place. (IB, ported, sealed, etc) As you can tell I've been going from plan after plan trying to make my mind up, so I finally stripped my car's trunk today so I can make a final plan. I removed my current setup from my trunk today and took out all my panels, measured and laid out several cardboard cut outs. I can provide close to 2.5 cubes for a 15" sub. Havoc Icon Fi Q etc I know all of these subs will provide more than enough SQ for me. I honestly wouldn't know great SQ if it smacked me in the face. I can tell when I hear bestbuy crap though. So now I'…

I recently decided on CDT ES-07s as my midrange speakers but i was looking for suggestions on a beefy midbass. THe cdts lack much more midbass then my last speakers but the midrange sound is awesome. anyone played with morel or any diy speakers?

Since I only have room for 1, thats what I would have to work with. Again, I have 1200 watts to feed it. Box can be up to 3 cubes externally measured. I can give dimensions later because I will need help designing the box.
