Subwoofers / Speakers

I have this old audiobahn 12in sub i wanna rebuild does anyone know where I can get a recoil kit for a 12in Aw122 Audiobahn 550watt subwoofer at

New here and looking for opinoins. I was running 2 ME12's sealed at 1.25 on a saz-1500d in my extended cab Dakota, I'm now driving a GTI and plan to make some upgrades. I'm looking for more low end output, not nesicerially more output over all. I need to stay in the 4cf net area with good SQ, why I typically run sealed. So I'm looking at cone area. 2 15's are the winner in cone area by about 1 10's worth of cone, on the other hand I can get a real good deal on the 4 10's, about $200 less and have the same if not more power handling ability if I need it. So is that extra cone area gonna just kill the 10's? I can be about .8cf over the recomended size on hte 10's but righ…

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

right now iv got a ported box that is 2.5 cuft after all displacements tuned to 33hz that im using with my 12" fi bl. do you guys think it would work good with a 12" fi btl if i were to upgrade so i dont have to buy another box. have anyone had any experiece with a btl 12" in a 2.5 cuft box? the site shows the same cutout dimentions and the same rec cuft. So what do you guys think of this desision.

We're Thinking Of A eD 13Av.2 In My Dad's '08 F-250 Super Duty, Any Input On This Woofer Is Glady Appreciated. Musical Tastes Are Rock And Country. Maybe Some Rap Sometimes To Show It Off.

Right now I have a RL-p12 powered by a JBL BP1200.1 in a 1.35 cube sealed box. I want to build a ported box just because I never have before and I'm ready for a change. I have a max of about 2 cubes to work with. Can anyone describe the difference in sound between a higher and lower tuned frequency? I'm a bit of a bass head that listens to a lot of really fast bass (metal w/ double bass, punk) and I love feeling the thud into my back every time the bass pedal hits. What frequency should I shoot for, or perhaps there's more to the equation that I should look at?

Ok I purchased a new car and am taking out my old audio (which won't fit into the new car) and trying to purchase some new stuff (or used) for my new car. Now I have about 1.3 cu ft of space to work with for a sub... Not much at all but I want good SQ that can get LOUD.... I listen to Rock, Rap, Hip hop, Techno, etc.... Now I really like the 12" JLw6v2 which I would do in a sealed enclosure but I don't know if I can justify the HUGE markup they put on the sub... I know it is a great sub and it sounds great but I'm sure I can do just as well for much cheaper.... I also like that the sub can run off 500 - 600 rms and get loud This is where you guys come into play... I am tr…

what kinda audio EQ can i get from japan that would be costly here but cheap there..... i have zenon... the company that makes RD audio amps.. and others.. morel speakers... i would like to get a buncha stuff for my front stage in both my cars

I used the hex head 275lb pressure hold screws with coarse thread and The icons won that battle and snapped the screws in half. so I was wondering on some ideas to keep the woofers in the wall

to anyone out there claiming to hit a certain number with their solo X 12's do me a favor and OWN their a$$. i am getting kinda sick of seeing the crap floating around and hope i dont have to see it here. maybe if we nip it in the bud in every forum we all visit we wont have to worry about it spreading here. Now if they say their solo X 12 is valid because of a red or black X in fingernail polish, let em believe it, me a tracy are just making a couple bucks off the sucka's we got enough to retire yet tracy? B)

Anybody have an idea how the 12" icon will sound for rock in and enclosure tuned this high or have any suggestions for an enclosure/tunning made for rock/metal. I read this woofer gets real low but was wondering if i could build another enclosure to swap out just for rock and metal.

What sub gives you the best bang for your buck for daily driving.

So I found an Orion 2500D, and its getting shipped out tomorrow... hopefully I can't really decide what to go with for the build, getting the most DB's outa what space I have... So ask the expert time.... Its a jeep cherokee, this is the space I have to work with... 43.5" in between the wheel well, 25" deep to tailgate, and 20" to top of back seat... that nets almost 13 cubes, before sub disp., port, 2x the walls...ect. if I go to 24" high, it gets to 15.5 cubes.... but would like to stay as low as possible. I would like to do 2, 18"s if possible, but feel this might be choking them... of course, Fi audio of some kind, or even the Havocs...which is fi anyway right? th…

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?

What was the suggested volume for the Claw Mag in a sealed box. I think it was 0.5 - 1.5, what do you guys suggest? Also what is the mounting depth for the claw mag? Thanks!

Installed my Next FLS 6 6.5" shallow mount components today. I decided to install the FLS's rather than the "regular" ALS comps because I have a fetish for shallow-mount designs and seeing how they perform Only have about 30 minutes with them so far.....put them through some tracks I'm familiar with and tossed in my IASCA test disk for a few tracks. Installed them in my doors; mid ran infinite baffle, tweeter in the stock location about 6" down from the sail-panel. Powered through the passives off of two channels of my Coustic DR-514 (50w RMS per side). HU is an Eclipse 8053. Low end is taken care of by a 12" Rl-p. First impressions: Tonality is pretty darn good.…

Got a nice new box, I wanna keep it. It's 1.75 per with a huge port (will edit in actual port specs later)tuned to 28hz. All of the higher power handling subs I see need more space so I'm looking for a subs that can do well in this box. I'm upgrading from SA-12's and the budget can be pretty high since this won't happen soon. Just looking so I can save up, or start saving.

Warning. . . . didnt have a burnt smell on anything just quit workin. . . . when i took it out the cone was still soft an the tinsels still intact. . . i took a 9v battery an did a coil test an nothing no movement or sound or anything i dont what could have happen any help is greatly thanked. . . an i was wondering if scott will see this post an if my sub can be replaced or anything

I've had a 15 inch ICON in my old explorer for the past two years and loved every second of it. But that car is now gone. I'm planning on getting a GCON that will go in a mustang. Obviously the trunk isn't nearly as big in a mustang, so I'm debating between a 10 inch or a 12 inch. The specs say a 12" optimal ported box is 3 cubic feet, and 2.5 cubic feet for the 10". These are bigger recommended box sizes than the icons of the same size...so why do the GCONs need such a big box? Just wondering cause I'm playing with limited room!

Hey i am thinking about picking up one of these. I was wondering if these ever come up used? Not really looking to spend 400 on a sub right now but if i have to i will.

I thought the leads on the XCON were sandwiched? How come mine are not?

I just had two of the DD1508 subs installed in my trunk and am absolutely amazed at what they are putting out. These frigging subs pound and sound like (2) 12's. has anyone else had the pleasure of running these same subs and if so any comments on the way they performed?

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

I'm going to be buying (4) 6.5 inch midbass drivers and I'm looking at either the Kicker SS6.5s or the Mach5 Audio 6.5 midbass. They will be actively crossed at 60hz up @24db and 200hz down @12db. They will be getting 75watts rms each and run free-air in the stock door locations of my '04 Dodge Durango. Any thoughts...other suggestions. Either way I go it will only cost me about $150 and that's the range I would like to stay around.

I currently have an Alpine type r 15 on a kicker zx750.1. I have it in a 3.75ft net box tuned to 35 hz and it gets pretty loud and sounds decent. My choices of a new sub were a SSA Icon 15, FI SSD 15, and an AA Choas 15. The new sub would go into the same old box but now run off a T1000-1bdcp. I want to know which sub would sound better off my amp. I want it to be louder than my type R and sound good as well.
