Subwoofers / Speakers

Well I think this is the set I am gonna get for my car. I am getting them for the FRONTS only. Will they get pretty loud and still have decent quality. I wasnt lookin to spend to much money and these seem to be pretty good. http://cgi.ebay.com/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-SL60-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Heres the dilemma, i was just driving home from my friends when i noticed a burning electrical smell from the rear of my car. When i got home i opened the trunk and proceeded to check my dustcap to see if it was hot but it was ice cold and the stink was coming from my port. The sub was playing undistorted still and is fairly new. Should i worry about this? Sub feels fine and my gains were set by ear. No noticable clipping. Any comments, advice, or otherwise would be wonderful... Thanks! Sub: RE SX 15 - 4 cuft box tuned to 34 Amp: MA HC2001 Source: Pioneer DEH-7800

is it possible for a subwoofer that is being underpowered actaully blow or rather screw something up. Im just woundering if it could happen

I'm thinking about doing an IB set-up for space reasons. What can I expect sound-wise when compared to sealed and ported enclosures?

I have an current gen mag right now. I am curious to know if i give the sub less power can my enclosure size come down a few .xx cu ft? if i am being to vague please let me know.

k, i figure that my best bet for a sub is to get an enclosed subwoofer. which of these in your opinion are the best: kicker L5 10" solobaric, 12" kicker compVT, sony xplod 12" shallow, or the jl audio 12" power wedge thanks to everyone

Got a friend with an extended cab s-10. He just bought, for a mere 40 dollars, the box(two chambers in one box at about 1.25 cubes a piece), an MTX thunder 6000 12" 8 ohm and a Sony Xplod 1200w 12" 4ohm. He wants SPL and I'm suggesting that he cut out the center divider, build a new front board that has only one 12" hole, and port it. It'd be roughly 2.5 cubes without the displacement of the port and sub. The amp will most likely be something cheap like a Crunch 1200.2. Another problem is that one sub is 8 ohm, and the other 4 ohms...not good?

im getting one next week hopefully, and i have a box that was built for my 9512g... its 2^3ft @ 38hz with 35^2in of port....will it work well in that box and still retain decent sq?

just wanted to know if anyone is having any sucess. i interested in doing an spl12/3000d combo

i dont want to spend more that 500.00 only have room for 1 sub and dont know much. can any one give me some good info

got this recently. decided to snap some pics for you fellas. it's a hertz audio hi-energy 12. enjoy. pretty nice and simple cone with the Hertz logo on the dustcap. brightass orange magnet rubber boot. Natural fiber cone ftw. pretty plain looking butt. i'm still keeping my RL-p 15. more than likely the RLp will see home theater duties. box build will soon follow.

Alright its been taking me a while to decide a setup. I was lookin into not TOO expensive but also not too cheap. I am not looking for the best SQ out there. Just something that will sound decent and i just wanna make sure this isnt just pure crap. This is what i have come up with. fronts http://cgi.ebay.com/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-SL60-...1QQcmdZViewItem rears http://cgi.ebay.com/POLK-AUDIO-MMC570-MOMO...1QQcmdZViewItem

I blew one of my mids (Cadence CWM-6). I'm pretty strapped with cash, so I'm either looking at getting a set of the PG RSd comps or getting a pair of MLI-65's and run those with the current Cadence crossover and tweeter. Not sure how that butchered combo will work though, the Cadence rep I contacted wasn't willing to share crossover specs so I have no idea what they are. Also, the Cadence tweeters are very bright for silk domes and I heard the MLI-65's have great midbass but their upper midrange performance isn't very pronounced, so they may not do too well with a bright tweeter. Any opinions?

I haven't decided between a 12" and a 15" sub. The old phrase "there's no replacement for displacement" keeps coming into my head when I think of getting a twelve. Right now I have a 15" sub, but I think I'd like to save some space. Obviously bigger subs will go down lower and be audible, but in the 30is-100+hz range. Do 15" subs have any advantage over 12" subs. I'd like to find a sub in the ~$200 range give or take. Would you mind recommending me sub for each size or just one. I'd like to know what I'm giving up and gaining by going 12. Obviously I'm gaining space, and giving up some lowend, but will the size affect the musical range? I'm not looking to burp this setup.

been having a hell of a time finding them, searched CA.com and carstereo.org where re's forum used to be. seems its dead over there, and figured someone here may have them handy.

Well i just sold off my XXX that i no longer need and after paying off some of the stuff for my bass race van i have about 300 dollars to put in a new front stage in silverado. Currently im running Kicker SS65.2's active off a 880PR and Sundown SAX-100.4. The kicker were just something temp i got from a buddy until i got time to glass my doors up. Well the time has come and im looking to get started right after christmas or new years. I have a 880PR for processing and a Sundown SAX-100.4 for power. So im looking for recommendations on a mid and tweeter for a 2-way. Im going to glass the doors so i dont realy have a restriction or set driver size. Amp power 100rms @ 4 x4 …

I'm wanting to build an enclosure for my 15" Ascendant Audio Arsenal. I haven't decided between ported or sealed yet, but I was looking for some suggestions on size for a sealed box or size/tuning for a ported box. About the only thing I've considered is I'd like it to be reasonably small as possible. I would also like tight, punchy, controlled bass as I mainly listen to rock. I sometimes listen to rap/hiphop/bass/techno (you know, the boomy music) every once in a while so I'd still like it to be able to hit. Can you give me a few recommendations on box size? I created a thread here, but it seems to have not been noticed http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showto…

Hey guys.. I was all set up to do 261's for L&R and a 61 for the center, but now I decided I want to do a 261 there as well.. So at the very least I'd like to get ahold of a PCB for the 261 crossover, or better yet a complete crossover. If I must I'd be willing to buy the whole kit, and then sell or trade my 61 components. I'd assume the extremis is the same in the 61 and 261? Are they still available? I wan't really woried about it until I found out the old speaker kids got cancelled! Thanks guys, really appreciate it..

Well, I finished my sono tube, now its on to another more challenging fiberglass build. This time around I'm going with two 10's and I am giving my self a budget of $250 for subs, and $250-300 for an amp. I'm looking for a pair of subs that will give me great spl, with some sq as well. I listen to a variety of music from rap, hiphop, to rock, country, and even jazz etc. They will be ported, and I'm thinking roughly around 1cft each sub (not decided yet). I would like them to be pretty efficient too. I'm not interested in the walmart variety... nor competition worthy subs. Just plenty to satisfy me on a daliy basis, yet when I would like to impress a friend or two, ma…

i seen this one time in a lincoln towncar, made a center channel with two 3 inch subs, and for mids, anyhow i cant seem to find any one that makes 3 inch subs, so i turn to SSA<

Not having heard any of the Fi subs I am trying to make a decision based on Thiele-Small prams and am having a difficult time deciding on the correct driver for my application. My front end consists of an A/D/S/ Pq 20 ran 2 channels to Dynaudio 240 MkII component set. 2-10

anyone have any experience with this sub? the one i have says 350 watts on the back. do u think both can handle 2000 rms from a hifonics brutus 2000d? consider the alternator is still stock (around 80 amp) and im using a 1400 kinetic. i am goin to upgrade the battery in february

looking to spend $450 or less. currently, im looking at the cdt audio es-62i or the re audio xxx components. i know these components sell for a lot more but there are places online that are offering deals on them. i have a 200watt eclipse amp (willing to upgrade if necessary). im looking for a set that will go well with 2 ported 12s (like fi q or icons) that will be either powered with 1500watts or 2500watts. i dont have any access to listen to different components so i have to decide from experiences people have online. if you recommend other components, please post them as well. appreciate the help!
