Subwoofers / Speakers

Here are some pics of my first IXL18.4 sub, another one to order. The second cabinet will be stacked on the first,due to lack of space. And here the construction...

I have these 2 subs in a 2 cube sealed box. My amp is a JBL 1200.1 I'd like to keep this box as it uses my trunk space very well. Before these subs, I had an 12" Brahma in a 2 cubic foot vented box that aboslutely slaughter. Sadly it was stolen and by then Adire was long gone. Keeping my current sub and box, what pair of 12's would you all recommend? $250 each would be a reasonable max. Less is even better.

I have purchased a Mag D2 15 and am trying to find the specs on it so I can build a box for it while I wait on Fedex. I'm sure it's been posted a million times somewhere and I apologize if it has. I am finding a ton of info on the new Mags though Can anyone point me in the right direction or hook me up with some specs please? Need to know what size ported box they like, Cutout diameter, Mounting Depth, and anything else that would be useful to me. If I can't find info I was just gonna do 4 cubes at 33hz. Thats a pretty standard number for a 15. Someone help me out please. Wayne This is the model I have coming. Thanks again! I can't wait to have it tearing my new truck up…

I purchased the 6 $100 special they had a while back, and I'm now ready to install 4 of the 6. I have an 880HU, and an Infinity 7541a (4ch) to run my mids & highs. I need some suggestions for tweeters (4) that will go good with what I currently have. Thx guys, Vic.

I currently have 3 JL 10w0's in a sealed box running of a infinity amp that puts out 600rms at 2 ohm. I want a louder system but i dont' have enough money to buy a new amp and the JL's just arent cuttin it. I was thinking about getting a mach 5 mj 18 and putting it in a ported box. Does anyone know this set up will work good with my current amp and be louder than the JL's?

my over all budget has been raised to the area of $600-700 this is mostly so I can afford to build a box. Still want two 18's and due to my research, I am looking for about 8.5cubes@26Hz because singaboy311's box is a kewl design. Again thanks for the help so far! I am looking forward to building this beast, just so excited ( parents aren't LOL) but hey, if its too loud, you're too old!

Hey whats up. On the SI website..there is no "group delay" file. Clicking it just opens up the DVC wiring paper

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I hope everyone on here`s fine & getting louder Look what I managed to do this evening. . . . . . . . And then there were FIVE. These are the old 15" mags. Have to start the boot build now, fit the amps etc. But they are going to make some serious noise Thanks for making such an excellent series of subwoofers, guys

I'm thinking of just scratching my previous posts and might go for a single 15 ported. I want a loud setup with good SQ. You all probably know what amp I have by now (JBL GTO 1201.1 II puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms). I'm having a b!tch of a time picking a 15 being there are soo many good ones. So far I want a 15 that'll sound good, get loud and drop low in 3 cubes ported. So far these are what I'm trying to decide between. I know all probably sound good but which would get louder? Also what should I tune to? I plan on placing an order for one of these this weekend. 1 SSA Icon 15 1 SS RL-p 15 1 Fi Q15

Hello all. I wanted to start this thread out of pure curiosity. I have been in the audio industry as an enthusiest and a proffessional for about a decade. In that time I have played around with lots of different brands of subs. It seems in recent years manufacturers have been developing what they market as "superwoofers". The subs are getting huge and the prices sure have followed suit. In my quest for more knowledge I have found my way here to the SSA forum. It seems that there are a lot of not-so-mainstream subs that are quite popular. My first experience with a high-output sub that wasn't available in every stereo shop across the nation was an Audiomobile Mass2012. Aft…

Hello there, new member here. Luke from Athens/ Greece This is my Car setup in an IBIZA 06 1.4 Kicker CVR 15 07 4+4ohm dual voice 2x15inch Deck: Pioneer MP80, Optima BAT Red with 0 Gauge Impact reference, Front Speakers: Door Panel Beyma PH35+ 4 x Impact 8038s , SUBS:Kicker 2007 CVR 2x15" SEALED BOX ( 2X500rms ) , Monoblock: ESX 2000 Digital 2007 (1x1500rms @ 1ohm), Rockford P 8004 (4x100rms). Question: Anyone know if these KICKERS can play Louder in a PORT either: a) 1x15 with HUGE port box b) 2x15 with HUGEEE port box c) just sell em and get 1x15 a good brand with lots of watts running stable at 1ohm??? huge port box whats the best way to go as Sealed box doesnt do it …

Hey, I was wondering if someone can tell me how to wire up 3 12'' D2's. What ohm will it be pushing at. I currently have a Kicker ZX2500.1 thats pushing 2 Icons. I plan on buying another Icon. My brother & I will be building a fiberglass box for my car. I was wondering if you guys can chime in and give some advices. This is my first box build. My brother done this 3 times. Thanks for your guys time and help.

i have a rlp 15 in a 3.5 cube box tunned at 37 with 50.25 square inches of port area. how much power can i throw at it? any advice is appreciated

Just got the word, the Mach5 SPL-15 will be built.. I'm looking forward to this. triple stack 8.5 round mags, 6 spiders. This will be a monster. 3000rms per mach5 It will be a little while before I actually get it due to building and shiiping but I'll post pics when it comes...

Wanted to see how much power people are putting to the level 4 subs. I am thinking of useing some 12's for a NSPL no wall car and a little bass race setup. I have a few IA40.1's laying around. How much can they handle for Burps and music. Thanks -J

I have a pair of Orion HP12s sealed in 1.2 cubes per chamber powered by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2ohms and one of my Orions tore the surround recently and I'm trying to decide whether to get a replacement HP12 or upgrade. The Orions hit hard and clean. However I may upgrade if I could find an efficient pair of subs that could get louder and sound clean. The poll options are what I'm trying to decide between.

Looking for 2 12 inch subs that go loud and low for about $250-$300 a piece. I currently have 2 mtx 7500 12s and a mtx 1501d amp. The birthsheet that comes with the amp claims 1863 watts at 2 ohms. I have looked at kicker L7s but then i found this website. Any help would be great, thanks

Long story short i ended up wiring my Sundown 1000 watt amp positive positive(instead of negative) to my fi q postive negative wires. Sub only sounds good on lows(like 40 and below) anything else and it just sounds like garbage. My question is since this counts as user damage is it worth getting it repaired by the sundown and fi? or if you guys have any suggestions on anything.......because im guessing either of the 2 can be damaged. PS the thing that sucks the hardest about all this is i just purchased and installed my rainbow 265's and now that it was finally complete other than dynamat HALP

I need help picking a pair of 12s for sealed operation. It'll be power by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms. I want a pair of 12s that'll hit hard and sound good sealed with about 500 watts to each. I had a pair of Orion HP 12s and liked them alot but I blew one and I'm looking to upgrade. So far I like the look of and am thinking of a pair of Audiopulse Epic 12s in dual 2 ohms or Fi SSD 12s depending on how efficient they are. Any other suggestions? I'm looking for a pair of 12s that'll get louder than and sound better than the Orions. Preferrably a pair of efficient 12s.

In the market for some new subwoofers. So far i have stuck with name brand only. I now have 2 mtx 7500s in an mtx spec ported box, 1 1501d sub amp, 2 mtx 6152 2 channels, and a kinetik cap killer. I just discovered the ssa subs today and I am interested but just looking for some advice. Obviously want something louder but want to keep the current amp that i have. Thanks

Its very rarely I truly want a specific subwoofer. The spl-15 has done it.. I really like the 12, but wanted bigger. I like the idea of supporting a company that will support you and be willing to help advice like mach-5 does. And at the prices Marks doing the spl-15 for its crazy not to pick one up. It looks to be in the same league with $600-1000 subs. So guys I really want Mark to go ahead with the build.... SO what I'm really trying to say is buy a damn woofer Thanks, Joe

i need alot of help... I have a 2001 toyota avalon xl with the JBL upgrade with 2 type r's in the trunk connected to a kicker zx1000. My stock sub just blew and i want to get new speakers for the interior.. Does anyone know what size i have in the front and rear, and what is a good setup for both? Also any way to replace the factory amp too? if so what brands? I have no idea how much power (RMS) the stock speakers are already so if anyone knows that, then that will be a big help cuz i could try to see how powerful i would want to go... its alot of questions, im a noob wit this stuff to be honest...its my first car and first system thank you

A friend of mine just finished a fairly low budget system in his subaru and he's unhappy with how is lows turned out so he wants me to help him out (sadly, I know more than he does). He says he wants more output, but I know that he is also not a mega bass head. currently he is running a cdt es sq-80 on a Alpine pdx 600.1. He didn't really know what he was buying when he bought an 8" built for SQ. He used this thread to build himself the same box: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/sh...ead.php?t=23261 He was hoping the box was his downfall but I'm telling him he should probably scrap the sub and the box. I think he can build a box to fit inside the wheel of the …
