first off I'll just say nice forum.. I've been lurking for a while.. but anyways.. a while ago I bought some used DD DDC6.2 and they didnt come with a manual.. They wouldnt fit in my old car but my new car they should fit no problem but I am a little confused how to hook up the crossover. looking at it there is + IN - (I'm gonna assume that is where I hook the wire from the amp to) the confusing part is how to hook up the outputs 1) W+ 2) 0dB 3) -3dB 4) - just to make it easier Ill say a) woofer + b) woofer - c) tweeter + d) tweeter - the easiest way to explain this will be just to match things up I'm gonna assume 1 goes with a

any opinions on DD Designs death penalty 12"subs vs. FI audio Bl loaded 12s.......G

This Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...-W5102SPL?tab=B anyone ever seen these in action or know their potential personally? It's specs are questionable which makes me wonder how loud they can get. I know they were used in the comp vehicle which did over 180db but that means nothing to me. They could have done that with any other high powered sub i'm sure. Anyways, it says rated at 2,500wrms\6000w peak, only required to be in a 2.0 cuft ported enclosure but only 11.5mm xmax... I'm looking for loud daily but do not know if this is in the right category for my needs.

so i am getting a $400 loan from a friend an i want to get TWO not one but TWO 18's what is the absolute best i could possibly get for that? i am like, OCD and i cant stand having a lonely woofer so it has to be a pair...=| please help. i am itching to break things with pure sound!!

yes guys, has anyone tried the RE SX 12" in 1.75ft^3 tuned at 33-34Hz? how will it sound on the lows, and the SPL? how you compare it against it in a 2.0ft^3 box tuned at 35hz will the 2.0ft^3 @35Hz play lower and louder than it in the 1.75ft^3 @ 33-34Hz Box, even that the smaller box is tuned lower? On RE sites they recommend 1.5ft^3 @35Hz and 2.0ft^3 @ 33Hz why is this? isn't the bigger box better for the lows, so why tune it so low? Isn't it better to tune the 1.5ft^3 @ 33Hz to get the lows of it compare it at 35Hz and the 2.0ft^3 @ 35Hz compare it at 33Hz? this part I don't understand, I've always thought that a bigger box is better for the lows and the smaller box b…

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

I'm looking to get either a Fi SSD 15, or an SSA Icon 15... Which ever one I get will be in a ported enclosure, tuned to ~30hz. What are the pros/cons for each of these subs, and how do they differ? Thanks in advance for the help.

Just checking the website and saw the specs for the level 3 subs: Sd for the 10" = 487.00cm

i want to see what your opinions are on this: death penalty 12" or 12' bl's which can take more power and is it worth it for the money difference?

Bad thing is, I didn't even mean to.

just ordered my first 2 LvL 4 15's out of four total... i cant wait to get these things here.. all the good news and reviews i've heard about them, i now get to experience first hand.... the set up will include..... 1- 1997 Ford Explorer XLT.. 1- pioneer deh-7800mp w/80g ipod 4- LvL 4 15's 1- American Bass vfl 400.1 2- lfb2k's....batts will come when i order my other 2 15's.. just going with 2 2k's for now.. 2 runs of power and 2 runs of ground...1/0g Big 3 - 1/0g more to come, just figured i'd get started on what will be going into the Explorer.... ................Build log to come............ i'll get some sexy pics up when things start coming in..…

What is the actual amount of clean power you can send to one of the lvl 2 subs? I know the website states 300 but it even says that number is an under rated suggestion. Also how much do these subs go for? Thanks for the help.

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.

hey guys, ive been looking at the sooundsplinter rl i and i was wondering if i should go with the 8 or 10 in a 1993 chevy single cab silverado with a bench seat.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a 15" sub that can fit in a smaller box than an IDQ15" (1.25cuft gross) Thanks Kelvin

Yo, I have an older model 12" magnum sitting around, and i would like to put her to use in my stereo setup at home. however currently up front i have hybrid audio L4's playing from 16k to 180ish, then 8" DLS subs taking over from 180 down to around 40/50hz! so i'm looking for an enclosure that goes low, really god damn low, 20hz would be nice. i have a 1200w amp on it's way, so it will have plenty of power! space isn't really an issue aswell. Tried running the ts params through BBP but i can't seem to get the F3 below 38hz, which is a little lame and i enjoy woodwork, so if it involves a complicated design, than i shall build a complicated design. Ta very much Tim

which of these will have better spl out of the group. going to be in a ported box. subs up ports back. i listen to all rap. 2 12'' SSA Icon (2000 RMS) 2 12'' Fi SSD (dont know what they can handle) 2 12'' Audioque SD2.5(2000 RMS) thanks for your input

I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra 4 Door and the only thing that you can fit are 8" subs. I was looking at the Kicker CVR 8's and I am probably going to get those because nothing has a mounting depth smaller than 4.5" inches. I was really really considering the Ascendant Audio Assassins but I just recently found out the mounting depth is like 5.1" or something like that. So please help me with what 8's I can get in there, I want something pretty loud. I have friends wtih like 2 12's, and most of them have 2 10's....not really loud 10's or 12's but you get the gist. I have mostly only heard of the basic brands like kicker, jl audio and those types but let me know if you know any…

Can anyone tell me what other subs have the same basket as Assassin's before the FI buildhouse thingy happened? It's about 1 year old I guess maybe a little more. The ultimate question would be what beefier 10 can I put in it's place without it getting any wider at the magnets? I've got a center console box in my truck and the width is the limiting factor not the depth. I'm looking for LSQ approx 1 cube sealed. Magnets have to be less than 6.5" in diameter.

Test Box the subs / SoundStream XxX / Memphis M3 MojoMaxx / Pierce Audio Moab / 3x 15"

Hello, I currently Have a Fi 18" BTL fully loaded, and have the opertunity to trade for a SI 15" Mag and possibly a Ed NINe.1. I know the sound is very install dependent, but would I notice an increase in sound quality? Also would the Mag be able to come anywhere close the SPL of a btl? I would probably run it in a 3-4 cuft box tuned to 33hz, or purchase a second mag and run it in a 5 cuft sealed box, each sub has a 2.5cu ft chamber.

Hey I was wondering do the lvl 4 subs have the option of the CF cap?

guys as i mentioned in a few other threads i am a sales rep and i spend ALOT of time in the car. after debating for hours what would be best-- build a killer small sub box ( RLi8 or like with a PR to keep it small ) or redo my doors one of our resident experts here hit the nail on the head " why would you spend so much time or money on a sub? it reproduces about 15% of your sound ". it really hit home. i deadened my doors with Raamat, but did not do the closed cell foam on either skin of the door. when it warms up i want to make sure i do the closed cell foam ( is it better to line the inside of the door or between the panel trim and outer skin? ). i boug…
