Subwoofers / Speakers

I want these: http://cdtstore.com/cl_series/cl60.htm Do I have to buy 2 sets? I'm a little confused as to how to purchase this. If I choose quantity of 1, does that mean I just get 1 6.5, tweeter and xover? So would I have to choose a quantity of 2?

i have been with out subs for sometime now and i am looking to find some 8"s. The last subs i had was some RE 15"s in a ported box. i liked them but wanted my back seat back. what i am looking at is the RE 8"s. looking to have them ported but need some help with a box also. if anyone would like to give there 2 cents feel free thank you also looking for a good 5 channel amp to push the 8"s and 2 sets of 6.5 components.

As the topic says iv decided to build a ported box for my mag 15". The output on the sealed just was lacking / geting traped in the trunk. Iv seen people useing 3.5 tuned to 27 4 tuned to 34 etc and loving it. What exactly is the advantages to straying from the recomend build? And wwhat size would you recomend? If size is not an issue.

Has anyone tried painting the cone of a subwoofer? I know that you cant really use regular paint because of adding weight to the cone and changing the t/s parameters. But is there anyway to do this, I am just trying to completely black out the sub. So you dont see the company logo. I want a clean black sub. Any opinions would be appreciated. I dont want to go with sharpie option either.

Hey guys I have had an IXL18 in my car for a while now and i thought i would post up some photos and also some scores of my setup First up and most importantly flying the Mach5 Flag downunder Next is the driver itself The box is 160L gross with two 6 Inch ports tunned at roughly 35/36Hz, it was the largest box i could build that would slide in and out of the car without to maybe problems or effort Electrical consists of a Yellowtop D34 as the starting battery with an Auscell 100AH battery in the boot Now for the power, a Hertz HP1KD, a really beautiful """""SQL""""" amplifier that does rated power, runs cool and sound simply beautiful... I love th…

is there gonna be one cuz i want me some zcon 18s any know? who else is gonna go on a shopping spree

I know people always say cone area is king but which setup will have the potential to be louder in a truck. Four sa 10's ported on 3500 watts or two zv.4 12's in a fourth order with about 3500 watts

Well, this is my first post here, and I didn't see anything on audioque over here, so I figured I'd share my experience. I just got my LW8 last week, and built the box DJ recommended for me, albeit a little lower tuning than recomended. First impressions running off 350ish wats from the bazooka amp is impressive. This little 8 (weighs about 15lbs) can really move some air. And it sounds good too, I was surprised but this sub is fast but low and not too punchy. Even with just one (i've got another on the way) it shakes everything in my car and everyone thinks i've got a 12" sub back there. Well, if you guys got any other questions give me a shot, and i'll answer asap…

I just got a new car recently a 2006 ford fusion. And I already have a aftermarket touch screen in it. I just want to put door speakers in the front and the back. But I got no idea what kind. In my Taurus I had mTX front speakers and they sounded pretty good. Any suggestions. Keep in mind I don't have much money do to the fact I got a kid on the way. So what are your guys opinion on good quality door speakers

We use a QSC Line Array setup for virtually every show we do, even in smaller areas. The disadvantage is price and setup time. The advantage is more even coverage over the area. In our situation we simply use two stacks each consisting of a KW181 Sub and two KLA12 tops. Typically we try to place them on the stage far left and right and aimed slightly inward. The thing to remember with line arrays is that to retain the advantage of the line array you need significantly less overall volume than you might be used to in a conventional setup. In a conventional setup you're depending more on volume to fill an area, but because there's less loss of sound vertically, things …

What is the mounting depth for the mach 5 IXL 12, and is why is the sd on this woofer smaller that most other 12" woofers

Well i got my MJ-18 4ohm last week or so and i had the day off today so i made a box for it, 26 in. wide, 23in. high, 18in. deep, box volume 4.52 (ft3), tuned to 25 hz, 3?4 M.D.F. and no stuffing. Well, when i used an amp that i had pushing a C.V. 15in., just a plain 300 watt 4ohm plate amp and it did dent sound good at all, put the amp back to the 15 and it sounded great. Hooked up the 18 to a amp in my truck and still sounded like crap. What to do What to do? I put a few pics up in the subs area.

just ordered a kx550.3 and i need some suggestions on a sub. if the maw's were still in production , id snag one up , but i decided to downsize too late. so i need some suggestions for a 12" that will work well in both sealed and ported enclosures being fed 350-400wrms @ 2 ohm that will get decently loud and not sound like poop. budget is around $100 but ill spend a bit more if i have to get something quality. i was looking at the RE SR , but i really couldnt find enough reviews on them. thanks in advance.

Just about to add a system to a 1982 Cadillac ElDorado and want a hard hitting 18. Not sure to go with the RE XXX or MT or a MMATS Juggernaut?

Hey, I was wondering what you guys think of this idea. I've seen it done before and think it's awesome. At the back of my trunk (back as in back of the car) there is a small slightly recessed "well" on each side (Taurus). I have seen an install of a pair of small subs, one on each side, and thought it was pretty cool. I'm fairly new to fiberglassing but I pick up things pretty fast and I think I could pull this off. Basically I want it to look unique, custom but still OEM-style, and pound hard, yet still offer the trunk space I need for long trips. My concerns: 1. When the subs are installed opposing each other in the wells like this, will them pointing at each other canc…

I would like to keep my question simple at this point. Question has anyone use one of the AudioDynamics subwoofer enclosure design? If so was the enclosure worth the money and time. Thanks for all replys

Im looking into buying two of these american bass 12's for $400 The guy says they are D4 HD series Problem is: american bass dont make the hd in d4 (idk about the past) Im trying to see what kind of sub it really is, if its the xd thats a good deal any lower series its not a good deal hes going to send a pic of the back of the magnet in a couple hours after work which american bass sub is this? heres a pic he sent me thanks

okay im gettin a new amp today and i was wondering if i should hook up my amp that i have already to my speakers .. would this be hard? and how do i do it? any help would be awesome thanks yall..

Trunk is small. Box can't be any taller than 12" so I'm limited to the 10" icon. I love deep bass, but SPL is going to be my number one concern. Ride is a 2005 mustang and I'm going for a DD setup, so I don't want a one note wonder. I'd plan on doing the recommended 1.35 cubes tuned on the lower range of 27-33hz. I'm hoping this would be a loud setup. Hopefully louder than a ED 13av.2 sealed in 1 cube (my previous setup). Height and width of box are 12x33 leaving depth to be whatever it needs to be for the optimal box.

Ok, currently i have a set of Focal 165 3-way components in my yukon and i think they sound great! I know some say that they are harsh, and at first i agree, but after a little eq'ing i got them sounding great imho. I am doing an install for a friend in his Voltswagon gti (nice car:)) and am trying to choose a good (under $350) 3-way component set for him. I am considering the precision power PC.3.65. I will buy an amp according to the speakers i choose. I would recommend my focal set but they might be a little "harsh" in his small car. Those aluminum tweeters in the focals are sharp haha! Anyway, i would just like ya'lls opinion on good 3-way components. they need to hav…

I am new to the forum. I am looking at the 12"Magnum. Currently I have a PG t1200.1 and a t500.2 for my front stage. I am considering downgrading to a second 500.2. Would the Magnum do well with only 500 or so watts? Or should I just keep the big amp. I don't really need tons of output, just loud good sounding music. Also, what would the best cu ft be for a box for a single 12" Magnum? I have done some searching but didn't really find an exact answer. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Ok, I'll put this out to those who are definitely not as technically challenged as I. I went garage-saling, and picked up a set of used Infinity Ref 6000cs's for $30. Have since tested them and work fine, just not enough base for me. I tried them in a small 1/3 cube homemade box to test them. Now, is it possible to just replace the Infinity Woofer with an MLI-65 and get much better base(sound quality and punch) with a cold swap ? There are really no "adjustments" that can be made on these crossovers except to go -3db's on the tweets. Just wondering...

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

ok i have an older model mj 18 and was wondering what kind of bass response i would get if i ported it in like 3-4 cubes??

I cannot choose a sub to buy. although i have picked out a few i am intersted in. I really like low notes, so the sub has to play good low notes. I will put the sub in a ported box. it will be pushed by an audioque 1200d or 2200d. I just wnat to know which will be louder and better. 1.Audioque hdc3 15 2.Soundsplinter Rl-p 15 3. Fi BTL 15 4. Orion HCCA 15 5. Cascade Designs Omega 15 Those are subwoofers i seem to like, if there are any that are really good that i am missing and you think it fits me then tell me, only if it is in the price range of 250$-400$ Thank you for your time Edit- I have a jeep grand cherokee so i have alot of space and no eletrical upgrades, but wil…
