Subwoofers / Speakers

Im looking for a ten inch alum woofer to get a little more detail in the front. I would like to lower the tuning frequency on my 15 and looking to add 2 10s to blend with my germaniums then moving to the kicks (Only use two of the four mids). Main thing would have to be able to run IB as my doors are deadened and sealed pretty well. I used plexi to seal off any compartmental openings and then prayed a window motor never goes out but essentially im working on my processing now and think this would be a good step forward prior to making my selections. THanks for any recommendations. I currently use two 3/4 mdf spacers and reflex pads. figure i can get away with the ten…

Sorry didn't see the Mach 5 forum. I put this in the speaker forum as well. Anyone tried these sealed? I don't want to take up a significant portion of the back of my Tahoe since I have baby things. So has anyone tried these sealed around the 2.5 to 3 cubes per sub range. Just so you know they won't have a ton of power on them. Just the sub channel on my Kicker ZX700.5? I'm trying to get something that is a louder and lower the JL12W3's in there now. I'm moving those to my Camaro.

how do these 2 brands compare if they do the icon and the dc lvl 4 subs?

Hello all. Hope you`re all doing fine I strill haven`t had a chance to alter the Escort install. But I have been messing about with my vectras boot install. Check this out: See this weird box... 6th Order bandpass or simply a tunnel in a boot. This box is far better than any box I have ever made It plays low. It plays loud. It plays a very wide musical frequency with accuracy and is practically flat in it`s overall frequency response. O.K. The system specs. Vectra Sri - Boot System. 1x HMM Box- That`s what I`m calling it - After the ideas from a guy called Henry & Mazdawg & Me making the thing to see what happens. 1x SPLd S-1200d (1200wrms @ 1ohm) 2x Brand n…

last night i got the Soundstream 15" XXX pics to come later...

Well, i have a sub in my room that gets listened too occasionally... Im not looking for anything with incredible output (only have a 100watt amp) and it doesn't have to sound the greatest either... The only time i listen to it is in the morning getting ready and its not at really high volumes cause there are other people in the house but sometimes when no one is here i turn it up pretty loud... The box it is going in is somewhere between 2.3-2.5 cf cause im not sure if the whole thing is made of 3/4" material or just the front part with the sub... It is going to be ported as well... Right now the dumb manufacturers made the port 4" across and only 5" long... Not sure what…

i need 2 recone kits and was wanting dvc with a dsr of 0.7 each coil any suggestions baskets are Re 15" Sx

2 15" SSA ICONS! I was pretty pissed this morning cause someone rung the doorbell at like 8 30 am i was like " who the hell is ringing the doorbell" then i found out it was just UPS! vs a JL 10"

Alright, I have a Chevy s10 extended cab, my friend has a Ford ranger ext cab with one audiobhan 15'', sealed box with 400 rockford watts going to it. Its acually a pretty chitty sub, but it gets the job done, right. So my question is, how can a put one 10'' in my truck to have a better "system" than his. I don't really need to be that much louder than him, but I want it to sound GOOD. really low and tight if possible from a 10. Im not gunna say a sq sub because I really don't know what that would mean. I have looked at the Fi Q10 with a Hifonics amp. Would this do it? Or could I go a little smaller with something like a Soundspliter or AA? The box would be custom built b…

I am looking into getting some new subs but I am stumped on what to go with. I want sq over spl. I would need 2 12's that would go in a sealed box. I also would be running from around 1000-1500 watts. My bugget is $500 for both subs. I have looked at the fi q, si mag, re se, rd classic, and infinity perfect. I could get each company new except for the si mags they'd need to be used for my price. If anyone has any suggestions please respond.

I have a JBL gto 1200.1 II amp that puts out about 1100 watts at 2 ohms. Right now I have 2 Orion HP 12s in 1.2 cubes each and they sound ok but I would like a louder setup that'll have good sq. I'm considering a different pair of 12s sealed or a single 12 ported. I've always ran sealed setups with 12s and I'm thinking of trying a pair of ported 10s. Can a pair of ported 10s get louder than and have good sq like a pair of sealed 12s? Right now I have 2 Orion HP 12s sealed.

can someone help that has heard these two subs in action im looking too get 2 15 Ascendant Audio havoc series are the lvl 415s dc subs thanks for the help in advance

Does anyone make a recone that would work for a JL 15w6? It has a 2.5" VC on it... Here is a link to it... http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=2730 I guess i could recone it myself but im not sure if anyone makes anything that would work for it and idk if JL can do it because it isn't made anymore... Any help would be appreciated....

I'm having trouble deciding if i want one stroker pro 12, or if i want one Fi BTL 15. either one would be going into a Jeep Cherokee. Which do you think would be louder?

Well here goes: I have 2 15" RE SX's and two Sundown Audio SAZ 1500d's. Problem is, the Fs of the SX is 27.8 and the box that I'm going to use(or was gonna use) is tuned to 54hz. Now being that the Fs is 27.8, it's not a SPL sub now I realize in a box that is tuned to 54hz.(I'm still learning I'm a semi-newb) I've heard the 15" SX in a 46hz tuned box with a 1000 watt DD amplifier and it sounded ok, but I've had a few people tell me, these 2 SX's are going to sound bad as in terrible in a 54hz box. Does anyone have any opinions/suggestions/solutions or alternatives? I may be switching sub's and if I have to whats a better alternative? I need 2 15's with the Fs around 34-…

Has anyone tried painting the cone of a subwoofer? I know that you cant really use regular paint because of adding weight to the cone and changing the t/s parameters. But is there anyway to do this, I am just trying to completely black out the sub. So you dont see the company logo. I want a clean black sub. Any opinions would be appreciated. I dont want to go with sharpie option either.

I've been researching and learning about bandpass design for the past few months and have gotten to where I feel pretty confident in my designs. I have access to many speakers and a lot of wood for testing but would like to get more designs in the streets to get feedback on. If any of you have been thinking about trying out a new box for your vehicle and would like to give bandpass a try please let me know what woofers, how much power (amp model specifically), and your desired goal. Also measurements for your cargo area with details such as does the depth given allow for a rear firing port etc. Hope to get a few of you to bite, I don't think I'll let you down .

Hey guys well im debating whether or not to get two fi bl or two audioque HDC 12's...the amp pushing them will be either a orion 2500D(both) or a DD M1(each)... They will be installed in a blowthrough enclosure in a 93 Nissan Xtra cab pickup...I was wondering which subs will sound better and get louder if that is possible...the enclosure will be 5 cubes tuned to 33 hz... thanks p.s. all opinions will be appreciated...

ok so if a quad coil 1.4 ohm sub has a bad coil how do you wire it to cut that coil out? is this possible...

I own a scion tc and specs are- fronts are 6.5" 2way components rears are 5.25" co-axials. Since i am adding 3Kw worth of bass, i need high powered speaker replacements. I'm not a total audiophile, I just like it loud and clear. Anyways, i have been looking at these - JBL C608Gti MK II Why? because they are the loudest 6.5" 2way i can find without retailing over $1,000. Now, here is the question - if i power these with about 200w per side, for me sitting up front, would i not hear the rear speakers higher frequency range giving them 100w per speaker? I'm wondering if i am just suppose to replace the rear speakers with just 5.25" woofers only, no co-axial.

Just curious, I'm looking to poach a few ideas off of you.

I am just taking a poll as to the best all around daily use 12" sub. 500 watt to 1000 watt range. I am taking into account SPL, SQ, Build Quality and Price. The two that come to mind for me are. RE Audio SE12 Fi Audio SSD12

Ok so When it comes to this wiring stuff and ohms I'm very dumb.. So anyway like it says I have two 12 inch mags and 1 Sundown sae-1000d amp. What I would like to know is how do i wire the 2 subs to the 1 amp and what ohmage (if thats even a word) and what power would the subs be recieving.. Sorry for my ignorance but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

Well, apparently i blew my sub this evening and i am very frustrated =/ If someone with any idea of what i can do to fix the sub id gladly appreciate your comments. I posted a thread in another forum and heres the link to what happened. http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f27/uh-ohh-334243/ Does anyone happen to have the phone number to reach Fi headquarters so that i can talk in person? I believe Scott is the man to talk to
