Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys, I have an '01 sonoma reg. cab. I'm looking for some opinions on what subs to run in it. I have roughly 1.67cf internal space to work with. I'm leaning toward a single 10 ported, but I'm open to suggestions. The sub(s) will be seeing around 1000-1200watts total. I'm more of a spl than sq guy so I'm thinking ported is the way to go. Also, I'm 6'-4" so leg room is nice to have. Anymore than one or two clicks and I'll be eating the dash. I've thought about a blow-thru, but I've had them before and really want to try and do this without cutting up my truck. Thanks in advance for your input. -Lee

i want to get rid of my little 10" type-rs and go with one 15" sealed theres too many options out there, so to help me narrow things down.. whats the general favorite for SQ, 15", and sealed to spec?

I'm having trouble finding info on this particular sub. I have searched a bunch of forums and tried Googling, also. I'm not real sure weather it is a tc9 or tc7 based sub; and knowing the many variants of those models left me skeptical of considering an appropriate sized enclosure based on another sub. I originally figured this is a TC9 variant, so I've been planning a ballpark figure of 1.5-2 cubes net ported to 28-30hz, using a 4-5" pvc port . I'm looking for a flat response, with as much extension as I could get. I'm mounting mli-65's up front as dedicated midbass drivers; and plan on them mating up with the sub in the 60hz area. The power will come from two bridged …

Well my IA40.1 is on the way and just wanted to know dose anyone know the spec of the new 18

Was thinking about switching to a SPL 12" Mach 5 Audio sub or a Fi BTL 12" ... My question is about the SPL 12", can they be modded to Dual 1 ohm's or is Dual 2 the standard? Also, would I be underpowering the Mach 5 with 2 Sundown Audio 1500D's or would it be just right? I've gotta make a decision, because I would like to be able to pull the amps down to .25 ohm or .50 ohm for competitions and the MTX 9500 12" I'm currently using, only comes in Dual 4 ohm so I'm only able to get both amps to see 1 ohm. Also what would be the best pricing shipped and who do I need to talk to directly on here? Also would this sub be safe to play music on, on a daily basis? Any input i…

I am soon to happen upon $500. i decided to buy two Mj-18's and two of these: http://www.millionbuy.com/boscx2000m.html now my only problem is i dont know jack about boxes, i need some ideas. now, the only thing i ask is nothin higher than 28Hz. it is going in my room, which is medium sized, about 20x20. i also happen to have an Spl vice, which is why i am buyin a Boss amp(almost no SQ, i know) Thanks for any ideas on this.

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...

Just curious if anyone here has heard the Massive Audio SQX15 subwoofer yet? It is their part of their new line, and looks wicked. If so, would did u think of it?

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…

Yep yep, I just sent it out a few hours ago. Chad should have it by Wednesday and then he and JimJ are going to try to meet this weekend to do some sealed testing. I was sad to see it go...and it also reminded me of how critical a sub is to a sound system. Damned Audax 5.25's!!

Well I've kept you all in suspense long enough. However, I am NOT going to post a side-shot of the Mag because we are changing the basket color and something else. The picture below is NOT of the final driver - the gasket is going to be re-done so it matches up better with the surround. As you can see, there is a gap. The gap will be fixed. So, without typing everything all over again I'm going to paste what I just sent my reps: I got the driver hooked up in 1.2 cubes in the Civic tonight!!! It

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 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 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?

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

I'm sure everyone here has had those times when they just get bored and wanna try a different set-up. It's hit me too. Right now I have a 15" Mag D2 in a 3.25 ported enclosure powered by a Hifonics 1205d (putting out about 1000wrms@1ohm). I am trying to get rid of the mag to try a different set-up, I wanted to do 2-12's. I will have around $220-240 to work with, but if i can get away cheaper I will. They two subs I was deciding between were the Type-R's and those MB quarts that woofersetc has on sale for $99.MB quarts What are some other good options in this price range? I will probably use the same amp and box size isn't much of an issue (up to 5 cuft shouldn't be hard t…

I have two 15" L7s and im not very satisfied with them and im getting rid of them. I listen to all rap so i want a spl setup but i think i either want two 15" or one 18" sub. Price doesnt really matter. but i dont want to redo all my electrical because i dont plan on keeping the car i have. I was thinking maybe an icon or fi or re or mayb alpine type rs. and i would need suggestions on an amp as well. thanx

As most of you may know, the BM's are going ultra-shallow! Ultra-shallow being 3.5" for a 12" model. The new BM will be offered in a 12" only with dual 4 Ohm coils. Enclosure sizes are 0.75 cubes sealed and 1.5 cubes ported. Power handling will be 500 watts RMS. That's all the information I'll let out for now, but here is a picture of the basket we are going to use (and before anyone asks, this may or may not be the color of the basket )

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.

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

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.

Ok well I had this all wrote and and stupid me closed the tab out when I was looking up some info. So I shall start again. Overview: Ok, I'm planning on getting back into audio (not that I left for long). My past installs have all been geared toward being the loudest possible. My new plan is to try and make my setup geared toward SQ. I'm thinking about doing a 3 way active front stage. I still planning a sub stage but that is not what I'm worried about. I'm just not real sure on how exactly to get my front stage up and running. Now that you have an idea on whats going on, on to some questions. I plan on piecing my front stage together instead of buying a "kit" o…
