Subwoofers / Speakers

Ok i have 2 12" ssa zcons D1. I didnt know i could rebuild them to 18"s. I'm looking on building a wall in my car and i want to go for spl. What would be better D1 or D2? I have a crescendo bc 3500 that will be running 2 18".

take a look : http://www.bostonacoustics.com/car/car_pro...&product_id=373 kinda cool idea, but who's got coils in they're toolcase in case the sub gets fried ? whatcha think about it ?

So i'm trying to find a good component set for my 2004 explorer. The stock speakers are 6X8's. when it comes to components speakers, i don't really know much of anything. i need 2 sets, (4 speakers together) and my price range is near $150 a set. (perferablly lower, of course ) i was looking at the Infinity Kappa's 680.9's. anyone have any experience with these or other Kappa components? I got a 18" btl and a saz3000d, so i really need to get rid of the stock speakers. no rush though, i still have to buy an Iraggi Alternator and a Kinetik for the car before i start on components. (but they should come quick, im selling alot of stuff on craigslist) I'm looking mainl…

well just what the description says, is 1000 wattts to much for a 12 l7 in a ported box tuned to 30?

Man, i really had my heart set on sellings my two magnum 12s and getting two of the 15s. Those theives piss me off. Anyways, since there is no telling when stereo integrity will get back on their feet, i need a sub/subs that will work off my Tsunami 1800. I want them to perform (spl wise) like two 15" D2s would. And i will be tuning the subs low, so i can hit the real low lows. I just dont know what to get. 18inch XXX was an option, but i dont know if it will give me the SPL i was lookin for. What ever the case, it must hit harder than my dual Mag 12s. Please help me out as soon as possible

i have a set of 18 inch treo ssx's and im really thinking about buying some smd 18s. should i use the treos or buy the smd's? OR should i use the $ and buy something else. for power right now i have a saz3500, and i have access to a diablo hellfire 8000/1. the car is a 07 magnum with about 15-16 cuft....gross dimensions...b4 port and subs some one please help

I just bought a ssa xcon 15" dual 2ohm, it will be arriving in about a week or so. So I would like to know the best setup and design for my enclosure, I have already played a lot with WinISD and I have come to the conclusion that a enclosure of 4 cubic feet tuned to 29hz would be best. But does box shape affect the sound at all? Also are slot ports the best port for good deep bass? I already know having my sub pointed to the rear has the best sound response in my station wagon, and cadillac alike. And to add I would like the height for my enclosure that is going to be pointed to the rear to be only 16" is this a good idea. any suggestions?

I am interested in trying a pair but wasn't sure if I could use them in my rear deck as I would like to.. where would be a great place for them?

Hello, I have a pair of 302's coming soon from SI. I was wondering if anyone knows the dimensions on these things. Specifically the mounting flange overall diameter and the cutout diameter. Also cutout diameter for the tweets and mounting flange size (l x w) would help to. I am nearing the end of my trunk install and need to focus on some mounting rings for the mids and tweets. I want to be able to position, fleece and glass once they get here. Nick, Sundownz, K-mart I think you guys all have experience with these. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

hey guys. so I've reached a dilemma. i have been looking around for some door speakers for my 1999 Isuzu amigo. the speakers that are currently installed are a set of random 6.5 components that i had laying around. the doors fit 6 inch speakers but i am having a hard time finding any decent speakers that will fit. any feedback would be very appreciated

how are mb quart and boston subs? what are thy good for? do they worth to buy them? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 and http://cgi.ebay.com/Pair-Boston-Acou...QQcmdZViewItem i know they are wonderful on components but in subs?

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!

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me find a manufaturer that can rebuild a subwoofer based off an Audiomobile Mass series magnet structure. It is a 3inch underhung design that was origonally built or at least designed by TC Sounds. The design was also used in the SVS Ultra(v1) home subwoofer. TC as some of you may know has been restructured and are far to busy to handle this request. I was just wondering if there are any other products/manufaturers that would be compatible. Any input is welcome. Thanks.

i belive this is the first day ive even been in the SI forums where there wasnt any new post or tpoics hehe.

can anyone give me a recommendation for a ported enclosure for an Eclipse 8122. I can not find the spec sheet anywhere and Eclipse has been pretty much useless. right now it is in a sealed enclosure (~1.25 ft^3) running off a PPI PC2150(600x1 @4ohms). I am trying to squeeze a little more sound out of this woofer if possible. I listen to a wide range in music, (not sure how that would affect the desired tuning frequency.) thanks for the help

I know that Sound Splinter is going to have the better woofer, but its still $200 dollars. Although I really only have room for 8's. Possibly a sealed ten, but I want to port for maximum output. So that leaves the fabled question... Because I can get Polk Momos wholesale for like 44 dollars each, and if that would be the better choice... more cone area and cheaper to get louder I would do it. Although, I have always wanted to try an rl-i so I thought I would discuss it. Reason being is this (these) are going behind the rear seat of the jeep wrangler soft top. I need to have the box small and unseen under the little deck in the back. Let me know what you think. Because t…

Been looking through all the specs for the three. Well what specs their are for the Xcon. They all seem to be about equal in most aspects. What I'm looking for is a sub that can handle my Sundown 1500d daily, sounds good, will get loud when asked. Looking at the 12" or 15" models due to hight limitations in my car. Have up 3cft to work with. If you can think of another sub that will fit the bill throw it in the mix. This is for a 2005 Focus hatchback. I have a Kinetic 1800 under the hood with the big 3 done, 1/0 to the back and a second 1800. Sundown 1500d, 125.2, and 50.4. TC Sounds RMB65s in the doors, Cadence dome mids and Vifa xt25 in a-pillar pods. Head is a Pioneer …

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…

this might be a dumb question, but can u wire dual 1.4 ohm speakers to 1ohm or do you just have to wire to .7- if you have to wire to .7 can you explain how to do that please?

im looking for some nice componets for my jimmy, stock speakers i gotta have the bass almost off to hear them. i have a powerbass asa600.4 100rms x 4 @ 4ohm, i want 2 sets and no more than 400 total budjet. i was looking into these. if not these let me know alpine type r 6.5 comps rockford T1 6.5 comps

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

Just bought a NIB Death Row, going to power it woth a Skar 1500. It is the 'old'(last year. I guess you would say) 1000w version. I am sure like most IA stuff these subs are conservatively rated, and it is a 'music' build. i shouldn't have to worry too much about overpowering right? I only ask cuz this is going to be my 15yo's truck next yr. I am teaching him how to use his senses(hearing/smell, and common) to not overdrive the gear, but he is a teenager.LOL On a side note- It is funny that when visually comparing to my Xcon- they are so close in all deminsions(which I realized has little to do with power handling), yet the X is rated for almost double.

I need a new set of component speakers. for my front doors. does anyone here know of some decent ones for less than 180.. I am new to this

so.. got home from work yesterday, found these waiting for me mli's. going to be used in a 3 way component set:D got a hell of a price on them new from mark:) great guy. cant wait to try em out.

I'm thinking about sending my blown 12" Adire Brahma MKIII to Scott over at Fi to get it reconed. Finding info on the MKIIIs is difficult. In fact, before Adire shut down, they had the MKIV in their current line up, and had a link to discontinued models. In that link, there's the Brahma MKI and MKII but nowhere was a MKIII mentioned. Anyway, according to my research, the MKI and MKII is rated at 1,600 Watts RMS, and the MKIII and MKIV is rated at 600 Watts RMS. I can't find anything explaining why there's a 1,000 Watt difference between the MKII and MKIIIs but I don't have a problem with that. I've also read that the a Brahma (I'm guessing MKI/II) can reach full excu…
