Subwoofers / Speakers

A 33w 16h 18.5d space for an enclosure a 1995 accord coupe a sundown 1500 for power i listen to classic rock and rap. i have approximately a $500 budget for two woofers. spl is my goal, but i do not want a fart box. i want loud low music nothing more. couple of woofers i was thinking about: IA DR 12d1 fi Q d1 ssa icon d1 PAP WMD 12d1 (they're so cheap!) im running a RE sx 15d2 that has been reconed by fi with some cooling and suspension upgrades. i'm open to suggestions on woofers and box designs, what port size, length and orientation especially.

Hey guys, I'm about to go off to college and I can no longer use my backseats for subs. I drive an F150 2001 4door supercrew and I'm looking for a sub that can go under my backseat. I'm just looking for a single 10" or 12". My amp is an alpine m500. any suggestions for the sub? As far as my budget goes id like to keep it under 300$ for the sub and box.

I have 2 15" MTX thunder 4500's running at 4 ohms off a memphis 1000 watt d class. I was riding around town today when I noticed a remarkable difference in output.. I checked the subs when I got home, to see that one had NO output at all.. I took the sub out to look at it, and the voice coil seems to be "seperated" or torn away from the spider.. Is this the reason that the sub stopped working, and is it repairable? It's not a major concern, I only had these subs as a temporary fix until I order my 15" Fi BL. It would still be nice to have both of these subs in working order though. Any thoughts? here's a link to a video of what happened.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O…

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...owAll=True& I need some tweeters that fit the same as the 07 type r comp tweeters, because I custom fit my door pod for them, and then one blew. My dad is buying some 6x9's off this site, so I want to order mine with his to save on shipping!

Looks like i'll be running all sundown amps in the near future. I'm looking for forum recommendations for a nice Loud sub that can produce nice lows off a single Sundown SAZ-1500d. Currently my top pick is an RE MX 15 im nt really interested in the Fi BL, but i did look at it as a possibility, and i looked at the TC 3000 but seems they are kinda wishy washy about having things in stock or not. Price is about 700 dollars to work with for a single 15

I was helping my friend out today wire 2 12" jls and we got everything setup and things were hunky dory. We took them from his old car, built a new box and tossed them in his new car. We powered it on (using multimeters to measure gains and SSF beforehand) and we started playing some tunes. All is well but I go to turn the volume down low to where the sub is barley playing and I noticed some scratching noise. I went back and pushed on the magnet (power off of course) and no scratching, no huge resistances... about the same as my 15. We took out the subs and they look fine. No bent coils (as far as I can tell), nothing is stuck, no burning...I took a quick peak at the term…

Can the Magnum D2 12's be used in a free-air install?

How u doing, im from Miami Fl and i have a single cab dodge ram 1500 with 3 15" kicker cvx subwoofer in a sealed box. All powerd by 3 1100 MONOBLOCK MEMPHIS amplifiers. I have 2 kinetic batterys and a 250 amp alternator. I hit around 152.4 db with about 1.8 cubes for each speaker. what setup do u suggest? Maybe going with 2 15" subs like the FI BL and making a ported bot with about 2.5 cubes per speaker? Will a ported box be effective with the little air space i have? basically what speaker will give me the most db's with the set up i have now? here is a pic of my set up. Thanks for the help

ok, currently i have an old Orion H2. great sub, but its starting to make popping noises, i don't have a warranty, and i'd rather just buy a new sub than try to fix it. so right now im looking at the 18" Fi BL. anybody have any experience with the BL compared to the Q? any significant difference in SQ or SPL? it will be in a 6-6.5 cu. ft ported with 1200 watts...any decibel estimates? or does anybody have any idea what Fi's new line will be? new to this forum, thanks for any help -Chris

I was thinking of getting 2 Mach5Audio MJ-18 Single 4 ohm and running them off my Phoenix Gold Tantrum 1200.1 @ 2 ohms in a vented box 48 x 24 x 18 with 90 sq in of port tuned to 30 hz. this would go in inplace of the back seat of my 07 dodge quad cab. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on my box plans? each sub should see around 700 watts. this would be a purely show off setup for truck shows. any thoughts or opinions ??? thanks Chad

will there be any difference in sound if my sub box is not extreemly tighly stapped down to be seat.? i can get it to where it stays in one spot but due to position and size i would have to drill holes through my seats to make it rock solid strapped down.

Hmmmm, i want to get the most of my system. I love the really really deep ground shaking bass. My current set up is 2 Magnum D2 12s running off a Tsunami 1800T. My enclosure is a lil bit more than 2 cu ft each and its tuned @ around 29-30hz. It gives me lots of the ground shaking bass i love, but i thought i would be hitting higher numbers than what im hitting. Last time i had a chance with a mic i hit 142.3 I thought that was really good, because i was thinking it was the termlab. It was actually an AC. I just found that out. Now im disappointed. I see many people on the boards who have a similar set up, but are hitting way higher numbers. I just finished a competiti…

Does anyone know when the new Sundown Nightshade V.3 is coming out and the approximate price?

Those of you that are running HO alts, what do you have and where did you get them? I will be coming into a little bit of money in about a week and think I might get one. I have a 99 Alero with 110 amps stock alt. I have a PG t1200.1 and a PG t500.2 to run. I want to be sure they get all the juice they deserve. Looking for suggestions. If anyone has Iraggi's email I would gladly take that as well. Thanks, Jim

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 have a 98' maxima and want to put the two 10s in a ported box tuned at 28hz. i was thinking this design would be pretty cool and different from a standard square box. this is a top view of the design. thanks to MS Paint

I am looking for a decent sq sub that also has spl that will work fine for a daily driver, prob is gonna be in a slot ported box made to specs by me. Doesn't matter how many watts its gonna be, I'm gonna buy the sub then buy a amp to match the sub, looking for 300-400 range for price. iI had some idea's like a BTL possibly? Not too sure with the higher end of subs because I use to run alpine, kickers, diamond audio, and jl audio and time to switch it up to the bad boys. Also another question what is a good hz for daily?

Hi,I'm having a really hard time choosing a new sub. I think I've narrowed it down to these two, the new orion hcca 15.2, or the fully loaded 15" Fi BTL. It will be a daily setup in a 95' nissan hardbody. I will be running it on an orion 2500D in a 4 cubic foot ported enclosure. I would also occasionaly like to see some fairly good mic numbers. Please be honest as to which is the better sub for my application, thanks.

okay well this blows.......i put my amp and all in the truck hooked everything up PROPERLY and im playing it at a respectable level (50 out of 80) and all i hear is a loud pop, and a cloud of smoke rise from no where......i couldnt tell u if it was from my subs or not but it looked to be coming out of the port. i didnt smell anything bad BUT im looin at my subs and it seems as if two of the subs have a lot looser of a suspension than the other two......its really pissing me off cuz ALL I HAVE HAD IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE SUBS! let me know and yet its my bday.....go figure this stuff happens today

, that wont fit in my door, i dont think. lol Bu ti bet you guys think hey bandwagon again

I have been accumulating equipment for a while. Originally I was going to be installing everything in my 96 Eldorado. Things change and now I'm finally making progress installing everything in my new ride. An 03 Lincoln town car. I've spent some time talking with BigJon here on the forum. He has large format teeters on his A pillars and Sundown neo 8's in his doors. I originally wanted 8's for the Cadillac, but they wouldn't work without modifying the door panels. So I bought Peerless Nomex 7" 830875 for my mids, and large format Scan-Speak Discovery D2608/9130 for my highs. Now I'm wondering if I should stick with the 7's or switch them out for 8's that I know will fit …

me and my bro want to get my dad a new sub for fathers day. our budget is 50-60 bucks total. its for a 03 f150 super crew and i would like it to have a mounting depth small enough to get it under the rear seat. my dad also said he thought about making box for one that would go between the dash and center console up front. so im looking for something with a mounting depth of no more then let say 5" max. his listening preferences are mostly rock. power will be from a sony xplod amp i gave him 2 years ago that he is using to power a cheap clarion 12" that takes up too much space. the amp is probably good/clean for 300 rms at 4ohm bridged. the amp has a crossover switch, unfo…

Before i start, go ahead and go to youtube and search for HDC3, there are already some videos of them in action. I thought since nobody had any info on them that i would share what i have been told from the guy himself. If you thought the old HD3s were loud, ...haha get ready. There has been reviews about people doing direct swaps from HD3s to HDC3s and gaining, not loosing, gaining Dbs (not noticeable by ear, but by meter). So, what to expect out of these? The Fs rating on these subs are high, why? The Parameters for these subs were taken fresh. Have not been "broken in" yet. The suspension is still stiff as hell. When an HDC3 is broken in, the Fs drops approximately …

Can i use a jl 6" w3v3 or maybe even 8" in my car for midbass drivers?? or would it not really make a difference? 2 12" ssa xcons off a saz-3000d. But i still can't put my hand on whether i want 2 12's or 1 15 ... would 2 6" jl's be good for midbass drivers though? like they can just fill the front of the car with a little more bass both are 150rms each.
