Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey everybody! I was just is there a diferrence in power handling between a vented enclosure and a sealed enclosure. I just purchased a DC Audio Level 3 15 with the Level 4 coil option, dual 1 ohm. I'm running a Hifonics HFI 1500d @ 2 ohms 1000rms. I was going to use a 2.25^3 ft. enclosure in a Nissan Altima or could I get away with running that much power in a vented enclosure on the sub? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I want to run my ma audio SY7011DX amps as master/slave to 2 21" Incriminator Death Penalties ( which my ohm meter says are 1.5 each coil) Will they handle it?

I have an 18" Atomic APX and am about to build the box. Atomic reccommends 6 cubes at 32hz. with 5000rms. Im doing a wall thats about 10 cubes at 32hz. With the extra cubes how much power should I run to it?

Couple days ago i purchased two bl 12's fully loaded. I also bought a aq2200d. Are these a good match. Would giving 1100watts rms to each sub be okay? Just if you guys wanted to no i have a 2010 altima, big 3, xs d1200 in the front, and my voltage does not drop below 13.5 when the subs are on. The box design is from tech support on this site. 3.2cuft tuned to 30hz. According to the site the bl's need to be in a box between 1.5-2.5 cuft, so im good on that. I currently have one bl12 on a sundown 1200d yea it blew out, never going back to the shop again. NOw for my second build i no what im doing. So anyway will giving 1100wrms to each bl be fine?

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 installed my d2 and it sounds great it just doesn't get as loud as I though that it would (stroker 12 I heard) I have it in a 2.35 ft^3 tuned to about 33hz and a diamond 600.1 (600 @ 4 ohms) in the trunk of an accord should I have tuned the box higher or get more power? right now it is as loud as two type R 12s I had in a sealed box but not as loud as the stroker (sealed) that I heard last night. what can I do

I got a alpine pdx 1.600 and an infinity kappa perfect 10.1 sub....as the only sub. Is it gonna blow it/make it sound like chit? The RMS is 600 on the amp, and 350 RMS on the sub.

In the near future im going to be setting a new system in my car, im going to be running the sundown sae-1200d for my 2 sa-8's, and the sax-100.4d for my mid's and highs, and of course doing the big 3, and running a yellow top optima for my starting batt. now my factory alternator is a 110 amp. i was planning on running a tsunami 2 fared capacitor, so my question is for my set-up and system will this be sufficient, or will i need to upgrade my alt, or just add a batt.?

Help needed, guys I am installing a bass tube to my car but I can’t find a access to the battery through the bulkhead any suggestions my car is a Audi A3 2007 sportback,

I know that in the subwoofer realm, cone area reigns over power if you're trying to get louder. Does this apply to fronts too? I recently got a new set of comps and I love em but they're not loud enough....well...that's misleading. I'm sure they'll get loud enough but I don't feel comfortable throwing 300+ watts on each side to get what I want. So I thought maybe running two sets up front would give me the loudness I'm looking for while still retaining the clarity of the sound. I'm not looking for perfect imaging and staging because I know having four tweets up front will ruin that (or will it?) As long as its equally as loud in each ear, I'm happy. Will two (or more) set…

I see people mention their subs from time to time, but has anyone tried their components? If so do you like or dislike them? What are they comparable to?

I heard that the powerbass 3000 and hollywood 3000 are the same amp? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thx Alex

Hoping to get the powerbass 15 inch sub and power it with an audiopipe apsm 1300. As you can tell it's a budget bass project. but are there any better options for the same price or less? Or does anyone have any come tsunami about the amp or subwoofer? Any experience with this equipment?

My current system consists of 2 JL10w3's which I have had for a few years. They have always exceeded my expectations and impressed my not-so-caraudio-savy friends. I have done my research and set my sites on Fi BL 10's. I am wondering if my dual ported JL 10'' box and pdx 1.1000 will be enough to get a great performance out of 2 BL 10's. I'm not looking for maximum power, I am just trying to impliment new subs into my existing setup w/o the need to purchase a new box and amp. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. box: http://boxshoponline.com/zencart/images/3615.jpg

So im stuck on which amp to buy for my 12" bl sub. im set on hifonics and curious which amp of there Brutus line i should consider? i would like to not get an extra battery if possible. Thanks!

I remember reading that you can wire each voice coil of a sub to seperate channels of a two channel amp. Is there any advantage to this? Does an amp have an easier time running two channels at 2 Ohms than a bridged channel at 4Ohms? Would there be any sort of heat savings? Anything?

I'm thinking about getting a 12" Fi Q for my ride, but can only afford 500 rms to the sub. Will 500 rms from a JL Audio 500/1v2 be enough to make the Q sound great? Volume isn't a problem cause I've run subs at 400 rms and was satisfied.

Ok I have been very curious about PPI since DEI came around, I know very little about the amplifers, and even less about their new subs, so to start with I was wondering about the DCX subs, I talked to Shane a little and he suspected that these are very similar to the Orion H2, just some different internals and soft parts, possibily some motor (DGM), the thing is that the rattings for power specs are lower than the H2, so that could justify the different parts, anyone know anything about this sub?

im thinking about getting some ppi subs i have read that they have pretty good SQ for there price and i was just wondering if anyone knows if this is true? ive tried looking on youtube and other places but not alot of people have them or atleast they dont put them on the internet but if anyone knows anything about these subs please hit me up i would like to know more about them.. thanks

I have a pair of PPI Pro 124's that I am going to be running off a MB Quart DSC 1500.1. The thing I want to know is if anyone has experience with these subs, especially using a ported enclosure. I have heard that they can only be ran sealed so that is why I want to know if anyone ever did port them and how did they sound? Any input would be appreciated.

i really think it would be awesome they start makeing PR10s... so i can get 2 hint hint

i saw a pic of the new powerbass PR12 and i have to say it reminds me of the new rockford subs.... hope its goin to perform better......... just thought i say this.....lol jamie

just wondering if anyone has heard these yet, and what motor is in it? I would love to test this sweet thing out

I have had an old SX laying around for a couple years and finally sold it (with box and amp) to my brother for $200. He was getting it installed today and the guy installing it said one of the VC was reading 0 ohm. I havent been involved with car audio for probably 10years and forgot what little I used to know. Can I fix this or is it now a paperweight? Maybe I am hanging onto nostalgia, but IIRC Resonant Engineering was respected for quality and value before the buyout by US Amps when prices shot up. Furthermore IIRC, the owner of RE went on to found FI car audio, so perhaps they would be the ones to ask? Any feedback would be much appre…
