Subwoofers / Speakers

Which one of these would be louder in 1.75 cubes each tuned to 33hz powered by a RF power series 500 watt amp?

Sup,I believe that this is my 1st posting here at SS.I didnt know that there was even a forum for Stereo Integrity but I'm glad to see there is one.First I like to say that the Magnum is a monster of a sub(I have the 'claw' basket),definitely one of a kind.If something were to happen to this driver I'll either get it fixed or just keep it b/c the basket IMHO is a classic.Props to Nick & the gang @ SI for well built product.As u can see by my sig.(pic in my other reply is 1.4cf) that I am presently running 1 Mag in a 1.0cf sealed box ,the output from this setup is truly amazing.Even though it sounds great sealed,I really the ported sound better.Now to the fun stuff,I …

I was wondering how a 15" mag sealed with 1000 watts will sounds in a 2.8 box. I was hoping to achieve a LSQ setup if that is possible. I would like to know if in a sealed setup the mag will be able to put out a fair amount of volume becasue i already know that no matter what i do to it it will sound great i am just wondering about the volume? Thanks in advance for your help.

In need of a Single 12" or 15" Dual 2ohm The amp that will be used is the Rockford Fosgate T5001bd (500x1 at 1ohm) but the birthsheet says 1000+ at 1ohm.(don"t remember exact but it over 1000 watt) Going for (LSQ) not sure on price but nothing to crazy Give some ideas please it will be a big help. Thanks

Hello everyone! I need some advice about making a compact Subwoofer. I am planning to make portable,"on the go" subwoofer box, but I have dilemmas about the speaker size. The enclosure will be 6x6x6 inches. I can feet 5.25 inch speaker with no problem, but I have terrible feeling that the woofer will not sound good. So I need your opinion. Should i go with the 5.25 inch speaker, or I am going to need smaller speaker like 4 inches? I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

i was lookin for a new woofer to use for an occasional comp but omstly jus the loudest system around. 1 15" woofer will be runnin it off of a Hifonics 1800D amp. Recently sold my old system, nd lookin for a new woofer. Brahma, xxx, or SI D2 ? nd wht r the prices fully shipped on them. Old system: Pioneer P8-MP (keepin) 12" JL Audio w7(sold) 1000W JL mono amp (sold) 300/4 JL amp (sold) 6.5" Infinity Kappa components (Sold) 6" by 9" Infinity Kappa Coaxils (sold) Optima Yellow top (keepin)

Just trying to get a specific size of the Xcons screw hole's. I want to attach it with Tee-Nuts but didnt really know what size I should get. If somone has this information I would apprechiate the reply. Thank you.

Im planning on getting the sundown SAX 100.4d and running them to some alpine SPR-60c in front and SPR-60 in rear. Will this work out? I dont know too much but will this amp work with these speakers?

yeah, i finally made enough money to order the 15" d2 yesterday. thank god for ebay. anyways, my original plan was to power it with a hifonics brutus 1500 watt amp. id wire the sub to one ohm and get the 1500 watts. then, as i was reading this forum, i saw that other topic about putting 1500 watts to the sub, and how it was said that 1500 is quite a lot. my question is...should i continue with this amp and just set the gains down lower? or should i downgrade to the brutus 1000d amp? this will be a daily driver...so yeah. next question. my box. im lookin for probably 60% spl, 40% sq. so i was thinking about a 4ft^3 ported enclosure, tuned to 32hz. would this sound okay for…

hi, i am helping a freind with deciding on what subs he wants and he is going for LSQ but doesn't want use more then 1.5k watts for the subs. he is looking at the following; And all of them will be built to manufactor spec. re audio se 12 jl audio 12W6v2 SSA Icon i was leaning more towards the SE but that is only because that is the only one that i listened too.

just wondering if anyone here has any results of using these in a sealed or vented enclosure???

I got my fiberglass box done sorta. It is done to the point that I can get an internal volume. I packed about 15 gallons of packing peanuts in there. That gives me roughly 2 cubic feet. I know peanuts are not the most accurate, but that seemed like the easiest way. So anywho, I have about 1200w to throw at a Magnum that I am gonna get. Should I go ahead and put something in there to take up some space or let it ride and see how it goes? Then make it smaller if need be? Do you trust the peanut method? I don't want to buy a bunch of sand and then have to vacuum it out. What do you guys think? Thanks - Jim

Wow it's been such a long time since I was here.. Anyway, I had an account here called Pandy IIRC, but for some odd reason it seems to be gone.. Not a problem lol. I opened another Anyways, I bought an MJ 18 from Mark last October (right as my wife left me) and I have been adding stuff to the car since. Just thought I would stop in and say hi and say how the woofer gets better every week, Ill be back within a week or so with new pics of the car (I have spent the last few months customising it) and you wont recognise it ! Til then be safe ! Pandy

I currently have one x12 running on 400rms in a ported box tuned around 33 or so. I amhoping to purchase a hifonics brutus brz.1800 and i would like to increase my cone area aswell. I just dont know whether a ssd15 probably stock no upgrades.. Or 2 x10s when they come out... I would port it either way. And im hoping id have room... I would make my own box and id just make it fit... So what do you think? 10's or one 15? Btw imnot 100% set on fi... Just i do have experience and i was very happy. But if anyone has any other ideas pleas let me kknow! Sorry for bad spelling... Im on my ipod.

I've been out for a while, had kids and gotten old. I need some info comparison between the DC audio 8" sub and the American bass 8" sub and how does each compare the let's say the benchmark is the JL W7 8", thanks for the info.

In the $200 range I have a hook up on DLS so those are my 1st choice http://www.dls.se/english/index.htm ( cant link to models) UP5's are what im looking at Also, Alpine Type X's

I have two 10w0-4's laying around and my buddy has a 21 Chris Craft with a crap ass stock stereo. I am going to "give" him my 10w0 to use so I have something to listen to in his boat. He has a RFPunch 301x (75w x 4 at 2ohm or 40x4 at 4). Currently we are going to bridge the back 2 channels for the subs and power the fronts off the other half of the amp. Hopefully he will give me some money to spend on a sub amp shortly thereafter. JL's rec'd ae for .75cuft sealed or 1.25 ported for a car. Without cabin gain would you use a different size. Also, wondering on what you might tune it to if it were me it would be real low, but output is more of a concern here and when y…

Hello everyone, I ma a new member and desperatley need your help. I am trying to find a low frequency speaker of 8" with an extreme high Xmax equal or higher than 60mm. It is for a technical application where its needed to move an huge amount of air. Can anyone help, please?? Thanks

I have the Tweets and Mid-Range already. I was planning on using them with the 4x Vifa PLs I already have, but considering the Usher Mid-Bass a bit. Click on pictures for more information: Tweets Mid-Range Mid-Bass Any opinions? Crossover points/slopes suggestions? I think it might be kinda unique to tell people when they ask that my front stage is all "Usher Audio" and see the puzzled look. Although "Vifa" Mid-Bass would get the same look from most people I'm sure. The Hammer

I'm considering getting a fosgate t800.4 or a t1000.4 for my components but the thing is..I really don't know of any components that will be able to handle that kind of power. I will have two sets in each door. And I wasn't to keep the price under $350 per set

ok, the difference in sound is pretty obvious, but whats the technical difference between making a sq and a spl sub? i mean if all speakers and subs work by the same principles, how is one more accurate than another? just always wondered that , thanks

What's up all I have a Fi Q12 that needs to be recone. I read you can use a different brand recone kit as long as specs are right? Or Is it better to use a Fi recone kit made for the Q12 from Fi or does another companies recone kit work just as well? I've never reconed a sub before and as long as the same specs are used to recone the sub everything remainds the same (rms power handling enclosure sizes ect.)? Appreciate any feedback thanks

After doing a little reaserch and a unexpected blow to my savings, I think that I am going to go with a set of Alpine type-R components in my mercury sable. a store i went to was askin 250 for the set not including install or anything, I found them online for about 150, and i can do the install myself. my question is,"are these speakers good enough to run a front stage setup?" I would rather not have any rear speakers in the back deck, alowing my subs to breath into the cabin, but im not sure if the alpine components,(powered about 60 watts RMS into each,) can hold thier own... any thoughts?

Ok so i got my tape measure went to the trunk and figured out my not quit max volume i could use for a box and came up wt 15.5cu^3 big ass trunk huh, and i was thinking about porting it to 46hz, but i would just stuff it for daily.. i was planning on 2 SX 15's....but ya neva know about subs these days.. i should put up hella numbers wt this setup :boink:

it's a 12" crossfire
