Subwoofers / Speakers

which sub can get loud with maintaining good sq and which is just overall better. ill be gettin 2 12's they'd be goin in a 4 cube box tunned to 32hz. either would be runnin on a aq2200d amp. so any input?

Im getting 2 Pioneer Premier TS-W3001 subs. Trying to figure out if I need to get the Dual 2 or Dual 4 version if I use a Kenwood Excelon KAC-X1R amp and want to wire it for the full 1200 watts to each sub and in series or parallel? Also same question for a Cadence ZRS-6500D to get the 1200 watts to each sub?

I just bought two old 12" JL Audio W0's From the Pawn Shop today. They can in a small sealed enclosure. Will w0's work louder and better in a ported or sealed enclosure?

Major lurker for a while. Love the site. Posted a few times, but I suck. Anyway. I was considering three subs: FI Q, SSA Icon, and SI Magnum (new one). I have a LOT of rap music, and when I play it I of course I want it to sound nice. However, the rap music I like is mostly bay area rap and older rap (94-98) and the bass lines aren't always the Jeezy, Weezy, whatever the hell loud ones. But when I'm cruising solo, I mostly listen to Soul (60s/70s), R&B (classic and contemporary), and Jazz. Listening to this kind of music doesn't usually ring the subwoofer bell for most people, but can a sub be a valuable asset to these genres? Are there any suggestions on how to …

I know what you're thinking, but it's not the typical noob question. I'm wondering how the coils are wound on a DVC speaker/sub. Are they wound with one above the other, is one on top of the other? Jimj and i were discussing this earlier, maybe someone here will know. here's the thoughts so far... One above the other is wrong cause this is just a split coil, if there's no gap then the coils are touching shorting and acting as one coil, not two One wound on top of the first--They'd touch still The only thing is maybe they have some sort of thin insulation, but under the heat conditions i don't see this as being very effective

i have a 3500d and was wondering what would be better in all aspects and sheer output? would the BTL's fully loaded or nightshades be better in my situation. either choice will have box build big enough due to it going in an suv and tuned between 30-35hz might change what i tune it too, but it is for a daily set up. and if anyone wannts to throw in opinions about the xcon or ia death penalty feel free. electrical is 250h/o alt, with 3 batteries including the one under the hood. subs will be facing up with port back. port will be running along the bottom instead of right or left side.

I have a 2007 honda accord EX-L I have all stock speakers and power. ok i have about $820, to spend, and i was planning on getting a good sub setup, but after thinking maybe i should get a speaker set up first. So what should i do first get 2 good front speakers and an amp to power them. or go with the subwoofer and amp, then later if i dont like how it sounds upgrade the front component speakers?

Hi, Just get my new car in 2 Werks and idk which woofer to choose. I want 1 12 inch woofer with good bass on the body ( sry dont know how to say) It's going in a 08 bmw 330xd.. I was quite happy with my old 15" re sx but want some better ;-) Though of fi or sundown... What ya think?

Well i got my two treo ssi 15's running off a us amp 2000. i previously had two powerbass xs 15's. i put them in my powerbass box, which was close enough to specs. i'm pretty impressed. with the treo's weighing in at what seems to be half the pbx's. they pack one hell of a punch. and i'm willing to say they are about 5 decibles louder. i'll get it tested this week to further persue my conclusion. great sound quality. and you can feel alot more air flow in my explorer. cheers. i'm now sellin my pbx's to a friend of mine.

I need help troubleshooting a new speaker install/upgrade. I just installed Boston Acoustics in front and rear. SR60 6.5 components in front and SR95 6x9 in the rear deck of a 96 Impala SS. The problem is now the rear sounds much flatter and the front is way too bright up high. These were upgrades to 12 year old Boston 6.5s and Pioneer 6x9s. Old speakers sounded fine but I wanted better sound and a bit louder. Old speakers were 50w rms and new are 80-85 rms. Amp is 100x4 rms and I also have on a seperate 450w mono amp a 300W Pioneer 10' shallow sub in a sealed box inside the cabin, not the trunk. Location of the 6.5 components up front are, woofer mounted in the do…

I have a sundown sa 15.Its in a custom box at 33hz, powered by a hifonics brutus 1200. I have cheap 1200 watt amp kit from walmart right now but here very soon im upgrading to knukonceptz kca 1/0 amp kit. First question is : will i tell a difference in loudness or quality from this better wire? 2nd question is : how should tune my amp for my sub. Right now i have everything set to half way. My level is set to where im pushing around 900-1000 rms. help me out guys! I will greatly appreciate any tips

but when i push on the cone or surround it works again, i'm pretty sure it has something to with the spider monkey or whatever but i'm not sure thanks

Is a 139.8 on music loud for this?

My sub choices consist of the following: FI SSD, Ascendant Arsenal, Treo TE or SSi, Incrminator Li. all are 10" Would like to know how each of these subs rate musically wise that can still get fairly loud when needed. Would like to use a small sealed box.

you should come out with some speakers for DIY people. like some 6.5 o 8 inch midbass drivers! ive heard lots of cars with nice systems, but getting your midbass to match the sound of your sub is really hard. and in my preference i think it sounds really nice when your sub sound matches the midbass cuase it sounds more fluent. i would def buy SI midbass stuff to match my sub, long as you dont bust out that 230 bucks per driver stuff that makes us all poor hehe. i dunno thats just been running through my head today

I need some help deciding on which subs to get. Depending on the load I got two amps I know I want. One is the T20001bd (my first choice) or two Alpine PDX 1.1000 (But that's second on my list). My gold is running 2000 RMS for a pair of twelves. I need some experience to guide me, because I have no way to hear them for my self. So I ask, for your opinions. I have three I picked from some recommendations, and I would like to know which is the best, which one would last longer, hit harder, and be a better investment. FI Q 12" 1000 watts rms SSA Icon 12" 1000 watts rms Alpine Type X 12" 1000 watts rms I'm getting a ported box & I listen to everything, but mostly boomy r…

k well im getting 2 maw-15's and jw how many watts they can take.. i know they are rated for 500 but wat should i run them at daily with my earthquake phd5000 amp.. how hard do most ppl push them? would 600 daily b fine? wats the most you would say i should run them daily? wat if i go 2 a comp and im just runnin them for a couple min.? how many watts then?

Thinking of getting 2 sets of Diamond Audio's s600s (6.5" comp with the silk tweet). How is the mid bass and how well does this set take that 170rms rating? Looking to keep up with 2-BTL12s. One set in the doors and the other in the kicks. Both pairs of woofers would be sealed in its own glassed enclosure just big enough to fit the woofer.

I just got two Audioque HD 12's and I need to know if they will perform well using the SSA XCON dual 12 box design. They will be powered by a 3000d in a 90 Mustang. I sent the box designs to a builder but he is not familier with Audioque. What do you guys think? Need feedback ASAP!!

have you got any figures for xmax on the DC LEVEL 5's yet please ? specifically the 12 and 15, shouldnt make much difference either way..

I they say 2 ohm why do they measure 1,5 ohms

Hey all. So I was wondering if an AQ2200 would properly power 6 American Bass XD 12's. I have 2 XD's right now and I'm wanting more. Let me know what you guys think please. Thanks and Merry Christmas! HawkEye
