Subwoofers / Speakers

Hello all, I installed my Pioneer MVH-X690BS head unit last night and it powers up fine, however my Image Dynamics CTX65CS in the front doors are not working. I checked the amps and they seem to be working properly. I have an appointment with a local audio shop tomorrow to help me with the big three install (I can't reach the alternator on my Xterra, what a pain in the ass) and I will ask them to trouble-shoot my components while I am at it. However, I have a feeling I may need to replace the components. I have a Sundown 100.2 amp that does 100x2 @ 4ohms and 200x2 @ 2ohms. I am interested in the RE XXX 6.5C as that is one of the few 2 ohms components I've f…

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

im thinking about getting 2 dc level 4's (15s) and i was wondering if they come in dual one? i want to run both of them to one amp (possibly the sundown 2000d?) i want to run at one ohm. the dc site only says dual 2, so im just curious.

a friend has a blown 12.5 LF boston acoustics sub that had its coil unwind on him. its a single 2ohm coil - does anyone know where i can find a recone kit for this sub? thanks.

Alright ive been looking around at subs for a while now and ive kind of narrowed my search down a bit i want to keep it around 400 bucks if i do a single 12" or under 500 for two 10"s (i can buy one at a time). So the drivers ive been looking at so far are the Mach 5 SPL 12 which already has a triple stack magnet. The btl 12" with the third mag and longer coil (no cooling cant afford it), or two fi Q10"s. I like loud bass. I want to hear the words over the bass, but dont mind if the music is flooded with bass (running four boston coax's til i have money for two sets of components to replace em). This is mostly for daily driving I will be powering it with a PA a3000db (not…

i can get a pair of koda 6.5 inch components with the tweets and crossover for 175 bucks.. i want something with good midbass but i dont want only midbass. does that sound like a good deal? i had been thinking about the rainbow dreamlines for 300 but i dont know how they compare to the kodas, have heard good things about both but never a comparison. they'll be going in sealed kickpanels in my 87 trans am

ok i curently have a set of rsd65cs installed. im getting rdy to install new door panels and i dont want to cut holes for tweets. do you think installing coax in all factory locations would sound better then my current comps? was going to go to front 3 1/2 kappa 32.7's in the dash kappa 652.7i in the doors ran in parallel and kappa 692.7i in the rear. was thinking of getting a sd 100.4 or dc 120.4

Just curious if anyone here has any experience with these speakers. Everything I've found on google is in German for the most part. The set I was looking at was the SLX 265.20 X-Plain component speakers. From what I've gathered, these are the entry level speakers from Rainbow. Just wondering how these performed compared to other component sets in this price range. I can get the component set for $175.00 shipped.

has anyone heard of titan subwoofers..BESIDES the home audio titan subs..

Ok guy's I am getting a new toyota tundra in a couple week's with the factory jbl system in it. It is the crew cab model. Jbl is coming out and my stuff going in. My question is what sub's do you recommend? I have the whole back seat area to play with as I will probably take the seat out if I need the room. I have two kicker sx1250.1 sub amp's which the birth sheet's say 1610 on both of them. I am thinking 4 ss rl-p 12's. I am open to other other suggestion's though. I am leaning toward's them as that would be 805 watt's rms to each speaker which I think would be good, plus they have nothing but good review's. Let me know if I am wrong. I also have two set's of criticial …

We're fast approching December when I can "officially" modify my Rav4 that I share with my girlfriend. The big thing is that everything must fit in a storage well under the floor in the cargo area. Yeah, I've shown this before: And heres a side view of my box: http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/572/179813.jpg Basically the sub will fire upwards. And in order for the Mag to fit in there, there is only going to be 1 1/2" from the top of the box to the underside of the floor when I close it up. I measured from the bottom of the gasket to the top of the surround, and it's a little less then 1". I also tried measuring how far the surround shoots out when it's moving. …

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 …

Anyone here use around 600rms on a Mag 15? I am debating instead of adding another battery into the car to just downgrade the power going to it. 600rms would be half of what I'm sending to it now. Its in a sealed box. Think it owuld be a huge difference in output or does the Mag do really bad with that amount of power?

I currently have just 2 12" kicker comps that i bought at curcit city. I want... i NEED, more power and bass So now I'm deciding between 2 15" Kicker L7's or an 18" Fi BTL I'm looking for loudness! Can you tell me about these subs? Like sound quality, and how loud they are? oh yea, im driving a 4runner right now... what ever i get i know that i have to get new batteries and a better altenator! haha but yea, thanks for the help,!

This is the system I have designed on paper looking to make it in my vehicle. I'm looking to get opinions from other car audio nuts just to make sure my ideas aren't mislead. Here goes: Vehicle: 2002 Ford Explorer XLT Subwoofer: Fully Loaded 18" Fi BL Amplifier: Sundown Audio SAE-1200D Head unit: Alpine IXA-W404 Box: Custom built tuned to 31hz Wiring: Big 3 Connection using Knukonceptz 1/0 wire Battery in front: Optima YellowTop Mids-Highs- Taking suggestions on components and amplifiers to run them! This field is so wide! Please let me know what you guys think and I would love some constructive criticism. I will gladly take all suggestions in to consideration! None of th…

Power, space, and budget aside, for loudness, should i get one 15, or 2 12s? what would hit harder?

i promised you guys this AGES ago.. well, its finally been built and... it doesnt fit! LOOOL! oh well, i cant wait to hear it anyway, heres some pics - http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread....4648#post964648 il report back when i get my headunit back, then i can have a listen

hey, i bought a fi bl 15 with the flatwind, cooling, and daily options. I am tryin to decide between 2 amps. Rockford t1000-1bd or t1500-1bd. They're both the new '09 edition. any suggestions? thanks

i just orderd a 18'' fi btl recone and the spider is super stiff. after it was glued into basket the sup hardly wants to move its so stiff? i shimed the coil thats not rubbin ,so maybe its normal to be suer stiff? this is my first recone so any info will be helpfull. also want suggestions on a box for this sub. i like lows its gonna be used in a daily driver with a bd 1500.1

on the D2 12 info page, it states a 154db in the MECA M1 class. Who popped this number, and what show? thanks

Hello everyone i'm looking to get some 8 inch midbass speakers for my doors, something that plays between 80hz and 1600hz, something that has alot of midbass and that sound good, i have aset of diamond audio hex 6 inch speakers right now, love the way they sound but they bottom out when putting too much power to them. i will be fiberglassing the bottom part of the doors to make the 8 inch mids fit. I'm looking for some mids that will handle some good power around 185 watts rms, P.A speakers are ok too. My car is a 1996 honda civic 2 door hatchback. well thanks for the replies............................. Brian

I see all these weird specs for a sub and I dont know what half of them mean. Is there a site that someone can link me to so I can read up on it? Specs Im talking about are below. Fs (Hz): 28.0 Re (Ohms): 6.60 Le (mH): 5.8 Qts: 0.52 Qes: 0.56 Qms: 6.80 Cms (m/N): 0.15 Vas (L): 54.3 Mms (g): 206.0 Mmd (g): 199.4 Rms (kg/s): 5.4 Airload (g): 6.4 No (%): 0.2 SPL (dB - 1W/1M): 85.0 BL (T*M): 21.1 *Xmax10 (mm): 16.2 Sd (cm2): 500 EBP: 50 Krm (mOhms): 3.65

I am using the CSI-DMR-2012A volt meter and I am trying to measure the impedance of my speaker. So I set it to the 200 setting (lower right hand side if you look at the picture) and touch the probes to the terminals and I get 4.0 - 4.2. This is a two ohm speaker so shouldn't I be getting half that? If I did my research and talked with the right people I should be getting less than half of that current reading for a dual two ohm speaker. I liked this sub until I heard another and now I realize it does sound about half powered so something is wrong here...

Im wanting to purchase new subs for my explorer once i get my tax return. i previously had 2 15" kicker L7s in a ported box power by a memphis mojo 2400 amp. id like to stick around paying a 1000.00 for subs/amp/head unit. maybe a little more. id still like to get 2 15's. i had the last sytem 4 years ago so ive been out of the loops on good sub/amp combos. could i get some recommendations please. im wanting to be very loud, not to worried about SQ either.
