Subwoofers / Speakers

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...

http://pierceaudioproducts.com/forum/index.php?topic=330.0 i want mine with Quad 1ohm coils & quad spiders...

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 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.

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

ok i know ive bugged a few of you guys enough but before i go and drop 2000+ on a new system i want to make sure im getting something that will most defiantly be the loudest chit on the block. I am leaning way towards 2 18" btls fully loaded running off a RF t40001bd. what would you guys go with that will still maintain a decent sq and pick up lows fully without distortions.

came across SSA today while shopping for some news subs. i have a kenwood excelon amp which pushes 600rms x1 at 2ohms and its 1ohm stable but with no power rating. i posted on crutchfield.com and by chance someone mensioned the ssa icon 12" that he heard. i dont think i have the power for that sub.... i listen to metal and atternative rock. so i goin for a sq or LSQ kind of set up. buget is $250 max. i build my own box and understand box construction. my old subs where 3 12" kicker comps (my first system so dont bash me about them. lol) just looking for something that will keep me satified for the next couple year while im at college. so this is basicly my only upgrade i…

using my kenwood excelon x10d - 600rms at 2ohms (1ohm stable but no power rating). which would be the better sub. i listen to metal, rock, alternative rock. basicly nice accurate bass with some decent kick is the goal. i have polk db 5.25 and 1000(1in tweets) up front and 6x9s in the rear. all off the the sony hu (cdx gt310) the aa would be alittle overpowered and the fi could be run at 1ohm or 2ohm depending on vc options budget it under $200 if anyone has another option that sould be considered.

I have a kicker L7 in a sealed box (its dumb I already know) and a kicker zx750 I am looking to buy a bigger box ported box (3 cubic feet or so) but have been warned about the lack of quality in some boxes. Which one of these would be a better choice? Option 1 or Option 2 Or are these not the best choices for an enclosure at all?

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

Hey guys, about a year ago i built one of the blueprint boxes from adire audio, the largest one they offerd im not sure exactly what it was im thinking the spl box, its the one were the driver is down firing and theres a 15" PR in front(the ebs box?)? well anyways i had some bad luck with my shiva and it wasnt working properly, so now im looking for a replacement and i stumbled upon this shiva-x. If im not mistaken Kyle Richardson your the same person that was with adire right? if so im sure you will know what box im talking about, or if anyone else knows thatd be great also. Pretty much im just asking if this shiva-x will be a good replacement for my box? Thanks Jon

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 …

Like the title says I was actually just wondering if you have any plans to re enter the component set market.

A number of folks have been asking when the SPL-15 would be available. Given the existing sales of the current SPL-12, I am finding it difficult to justify the added expense for another driver in the line. I am however, open to doing a small run of SPL-15's provided there is commitment from those folks who are interested in acquiring one (or two or three...). To picture of what the SPL-15 would look like, imagine the beefiness of the SPL-12, only in a bigger version. There, simple wasn't it? So, those of you who spoke of, or asked about an SPL-15, belly up to the bar and let's talk about it. Best, Mark

Here it is: the official thread on the new Mag 12 D2. The new Mag D2 will be available in 12" only. It will also be available in Dual 2 Ohms only. Recommended sealed enclosure volume is 1 cubic foot. The enclosure recommendations are after port and driver displacement. The new Mag will displace 0.08 ft^3 The new Mag D2 will feature: 3" voice coil an XBL^2 equipped motor 5.5" deep mounting depth Motor is inside the basket, hence the shallow depth Paper pulp cone Rubber surround Sewn-on vc leads Flush gasket (no holes showing) 1000 watt power handling in recommended enclosures

It's funny how people used to like Treo subs just as much, if not some more than RE subs and nobody talks about them anymore. I'm thinking of upgrading my system within the next few months. I have a 2006 Corolla sport for those of you who don't know me already and a JBL GTO 1201.1 II amp powering a pair of Orion HP 12s sealed in 1.2 cubes per chamber and a Batcap 800 for my amp. It sounds pretty good but it dims just a lil bit at night so one of my upgrades will be a bigger alternator. I just bought a new deck online (Alpine CDA-9886) for my iPod. I may also upgrade my amp to a Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D. I'm thinking of upgrading my subs to 2 SS RL-p 12s sealed or 2 T…

I want a sub to have loud bass but still sound good.(be heard a block away , hurt to turn it up loud ) Also are there any good pre fab enclosures for sale that are good ( i heard pre fabs suck) ? would you go ported or sealed? and i need an amp to push either the 12 or 15. budget on amp is around 100 new or used.

Wha's good? Um, I'm new to this site but I'm going to get str8 to business. I have a 2000 Lincoln LS and I'm thinkingof buying a BTL 12. Is this a decent set up along with a power acoustik 3000D, and if so, what type or box should I use?

i got a pm from "deafdreamz" saying to contact him to order DC subs. im just asking exactly who is this guy? not trying to start a fight it just seems odd that he would PM me out of the blue saying somehting like this.

What you guys recommend for an Adire Brahma MK II 12" subwoofer?

I'm expanding my research here so i can get the pros and cons of different equipment. In an earlier thread, Dave Brooks and other suggested i use HLCDs with 4Kw of bass so i don't drown out the stock tweeters that wouldnt be there by that time anyway. Anyway, i came across another gadget, a Horn Loaded tweeter with specs as good, if not Better than Image Dynamics HLCDs. These tweeters cost a little less, but i have questions on the technology in general, not really the product itself. Here is info - http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...p;idproduct=363 Efficiency - 107Db @1W/1M 50wrms I tried to find some research on them and i found a little but do not know if i…

hey guys! just checking if you had any information about the Audioque HDC3 sub? I've seen some things on the internet about them being comparable to the BL but judging by the specs, they appear to be a bit more SPL oriented then the BL's let me know if you've heard anything good or bad! or which one you'd pick between HDC3 or BL

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
