Subwoofers / Speakers

hi guys on my omega i checked the ohm load on each coil i got 1.7 on one and 3.2 on the other coil what the hell happen? this sub works fine no coil rub

IM tired of my crappy computer set up, im thinking of building my own as i colect pocket change, budget will probably be ~$50 for speaks and tweets and ill probably do one 8" or even a 6.5 for the sub. Any ideas? ive been skimming through partsexpress but i dont knwo what's worth it and what isnt.

Its getting closer to that time, where the monies is almost ready for installation I ran a search, but didn't find anything. I figured its because they're spl subs, but what would you recommend for this bad boys on a daily setup. Thanks mark and anybody else that contributes.

Do you think the Zed minilith would be a good amp to power my SI 15 or should I keep my Concept CC-D1200. TheCC1200 has a few issues but has more power than the Zed but the Zed has a nicer build and can make more than the rated 600rms. But I like to have the overhead. Also the 15 has a slightly softer suspension, correct, than the 12? So having 1200rms on tap isn't needed. Who knows.

I've given serious consideration to selling my D2 12 and purchasing a 15. At the moment, however, I would only be able to throw 460 watts rms at the thing. My 12 in a 2 cube box at 28 hz gets louder than I ever need it to with that many watts but will the 15 respond the similarly? I do plan on upgrading to a 1000 watt amp sometime in the future but it wouldn't be for at least another couple of months. I would probably put the 15 in a 2 -2.5 cubic ft sealed box, but space really isn't an issue. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Mike

can anyone email me a Win Isd file for a 15 inch and 12 inch magnum at [email protected] please. and can you tell me if WinIsd is accurate wth magnums. i know with the ED A series subs it seems to be off. im using pro alpha edition. thanks

Your icon was so awesome, i had to break the bank again to get the xcon. This is gonna be a long wait for the ups man.

I am thinking about re-doing my setup and would like some opinions. I am thinking about moving my 4 DP21"s to the passenger side, and port on drivers side. Then the idea for 8 15"s started creeping into my head. The subs in each setup will be on 2k wrms each, so it's not really a fair comparison since it will be twice the power with the 15"s, but o well. The 8 15"s would be on bottom with the port across the top most likely. Some of the subs I have been considering for the 15"s are: BTL's, new DP's, Lvl 5's, and Exos. Right now I am leaning towards the Atmos Exos. Wall is in an 03 Expedition at the B-pillars, 40 cubes and will be tuned somewhere between 28 and 32hz. Prob…

I need a pair of inexpensive 5.25 for my doors of my explorer. I am gonna have about 60watts per channel. I dont wanna spend over $70 tbh im pretty broke right. The bostons I bought used were blown so I need some door speakers now. What would you recommend? I dont like harsh tweet want more natural sounding. I have had good luck with boston, old school orion, cdt, and image dynamics.

Hey just have to say this forum is awesome. I have been thinking about trying to make my own driver to put in a transmission line box. I could not find any places that sell parts to build your own driver. I

Doing a temporary install in the G35 coupe and i am trying to figure out which will work out the best in given space. As some of you know the trunk is extremely small. So far as i know, nobody has ever installed a 15 in there and 10's are about the most that will fit without pulling out the spare tire, tools etc. which i really don't give a damn about anyway So the amp running them will be an MTX 81000d. Rated 1000rms @ 1ohm, 12.5 V so figure on a maximum of 1000-1100 rms real world output Options are as follows: 1) Rockford T210d2 - Box can be about 1.8-1.9 net, with around 40 sq inches of port tuned to about 35hz 2) Adire Brahma 15" - 2.0-2.3 cubes net, sealed 3) Rock…

Got my 2 15" xl's in love every moment of them they are absolutly amazing I was wondering how much of a difference will there be after they get a good chance to break in?

Im new to sound systems and I 'm looking for a sub that is the cleanest and produces the most bass for under a 1000 dollars. I already have a Hifonics Hf I Monoblock 2000 watts rms amp and would prefer to be able to use that. Open to speakers up to 15 inches.

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

I havent been on here in a while and im needing some help.I finally got all of the equipment for my system.It consist of 2 sets of Pioneer Premier 63/4 comps 1 set of Infinity 61/2 comps.An Orion 2100 HCCA pushing 2 custom built 15s and a Kicker 3 way crossover and a bunch of dist blocks,fuses,Rcas ect.All of this was going in an ext cab Chevy,but some lil 18 yearold rearended me and totaled out my truck.Damm im pissed talking about it.My question is can i squeeze 8.4 cubs out of a 1st gen RX7?Thats the car im buying cause dont have enough for another truck.Does anyone have one or know someone that has a setup like this?Any imput would help out alot.Thanks in advance.

My IXL's are getting delivered today, on the SSA site it says 800wrms, on the Mach 5 site it says 1000. Which is correct?

What is there to expect? Will it be the same as a mag, only fitting the lower price bracket? I decided i wont at my age, income status, and everything going on to afford 2 15mags even 1 for that matter... I need suggestions as to what to do. I wish i could do 20.1 and two 15"s but HA! Im dreaming. But i dont want to drop SI, they seem to be a solid company... So With that in mind what will the bm's be looking like, so i can get an idea of how to power them and what not... So I need a budget IA 20.1 2x 15"Mag setup... =) If that makes any sense

Hello, I have a few subs that need to be reconed. I was wondering what size of coil the Mags use?

okay well this blows.......i put my amp and all in the truck hooked everything up PROPERLY and im playing it at a respectable level (50 out of 80) and all i hear is a loud pop, and a cloud of smoke rise from no where......i couldnt tell u if it was from my subs or not but it looked to be coming out of the port. i didnt smell anything bad BUT im looin at my subs and it seems as if two of the subs have a lot looser of a suspension than the other two......its really pissing me off cuz ALL I HAVE HAD IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE SUBS! let me know and yet its my bday.....go figure this stuff happens today

That's the box. The subs are Lanzar 15" MAX Pros 2000w max. Amp is a Kenwood KAC-1000D or w/e. Any suggestions to the box or changes that will make them hit harder?

im looking for some good 6.5 mids for my 2005 durango. my factory radio is amplified. i will be adding an aftermarket amp for my aftermarket HU for mids. ( i tend to take out all my aftermarket stuff alot(crooks) ) i have a pioneer 6000 deck "new style", 18'' loaded btl; amp got stolen but getting a sundown 3000, but im going to switch between that and my kicker L7 of a us amps 1600.4 bridged at 4 ohms to put 1100 rms to the L7. so there will be plenty of bass. i have tried the alpine type R mids and they did not work for me. i was thinking focal. but ide like to get a few idea's from you guys. and what amp would you recomend on them. thanks.

Ok I purchased a new car and am taking out my old audio (which won't fit into the new car) and trying to purchase some new stuff (or used) for my new car. Now I have about 1.3 cu ft of space to work with for a sub... Not much at all but I want good SQ that can get LOUD.... I listen to Rock, Rap, Hip hop, Techno, etc.... Now I really like the 12" JLw6v2 which I would do in a sealed enclosure but I don't know if I can justify the HUGE markup they put on the sub... I know it is a great sub and it sounds great but I'm sure I can do just as well for much cheaper.... I also like that the sub can run off 500 - 600 rms and get loud This is where you guys come into play... I am tr…

As I was making some room in my Jeep to get ready for my big move, I took out the subs and noticed that one of them had the dustcap loose and shreds of paper were in the box! Thankfully, the cone didn't shred. The sub still functions but it looks awful. Oh well, part of the game I guess.

my tweeters are tyring to pump out way to many vocals whats the easiest way to cut some lower frequencies? I'm hoping its as easy as putting some capacitors inline with the tweeter

i am going to be facing my sub down in my truck to make everything kinda hidden. curious if having the sub facing down will have a really different effect then the sub facing up or facing towards the front? anyone have experience with this?? thanks!
