Subwoofers / Speakers

Okay i have a question. how do i wire a sub in parallel and how do i wire a sub in series. and how does it effect it in ohms law. Like if i wire my 4 ohm parallel that puts it at 2 ohms. so thats what the amp output would be at 2ohms. So if i have 2 4ohm woofers and i wire them both parallel that would make it 1ohm correct?

I convinced myself to go ahead and put a couple subs in my truck. I don't want to have to raise my seat or anything, so I'm going with a enclosure from Fox acoustics designed for my truck. But I still have a couple of questions... I know I will not be able to get ground shaking bass out of two tens or twelves, so I'm going for a sq setup. as for power I don't have an amp yet but I don't want to go overboard with power. 1. should I go with two vented 10's or two sealed 12's? 2 what's a good shallow mount dub to go with for under $300

I have an IA 20.1 on order and am thinking of going with two Mag D2 15s for it. I designed a box that is 7 @ 30hz w/ 90in^2 vent area. I was wondering if you guys had tried that type box yet and just how does it do? Does it start to dip after 50hz? I am sure it wil probably ring my bell from 30 - 50hz. I am just worried it won't do much afterwards. About where would you said my 3dB down point would be? Also, I have a goal of a 146+ new TL with this setup Legal on music. 98 explorer....think that is too lofty of a goal?? Thanks :-D -Alex

I have a 4 door true honda civic 01 and was looking to put 2 PBX 12's in it do yall think that would get crazy loud ,if so, what amp should i run to them. Im lookin to like rattle peoples house windows.

I am really looking forward to getting my first system... Right now...im pretty set on a headunit...probably a kenwood(KDC-MP735U) or pioneer(DEH-P59000IB) But im looking heavily into Subs....Mainly the Mach 5 IXL(12.2 and 10.2) and the SSA Icon...i know there isnt a HUGE fan base for these subs but as far as getting loud...and sounding decent which is better...because i could spend 300 and get two IXL 10s but i would end up spending more money in the electrical system... I saw the Fisher Customs has a good box/woofer deal with the Icons.... All in all i want some clarity and some bass...but i dont wanna use my whole trunk up...thanks!

hey guys, i came across a AQ hdc3 15 in a sealed box on my local CL for $100. i was wanting a sub for my old mustang so it this worth $100? there $275 new from AQ.....

Hi guys, Question if you run one D1 subwoofer an one D2 sub on the same sub amp will one get more power to it ?

im looking for some good 6.5 mids for my 2005 durango. my factory radio is amplified. i will be adding an aftermarket amp for my aftermarket HU for mids. ( i tend to take out all my aftermarket stuff alot(crooks) ) i have a pioneer 6000 deck "new style", 18'' loaded btl; amp got stolen but getting a sundown 3000, but im going to switch between that and my kicker L7 of a us amps 1600.4 bridged at 4 ohms to put 1100 rms to the L7. so there will be plenty of bass. i have tried the alpine type R mids and they did not work for me. i was thinking focal. but ide like to get a few idea's from you guys. and what amp would you recomend on them. thanks. Eddie Gossett

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

TS-W2504SPL and Fi SSD 10" how do these two subs compare? if you only have exp. with one of them put your 2 cents in.

some guy offered me a brand new re xxx 18 even trade for my fi bl 15s. the bls are only like 4 months old. do i do it. no goals just loud well defined music

Are thre any more 15's? I finally saved up enough money for another and a hifonics 1500 but I was wondering if there are anymore available?

ok, so yesterday, i took out my cheapo 3.5" dash speakers and taped off the ends of the wires with electrical tape. now, my right door speaker is very quiet, pretty much not even working, and when i turn up my stereo, the music cuts out in my front speakers. is this a short? i assume it is but just checking i guess.

has anybody in here used rainbow audio or have some info about them?

Does anybody have experience Customizing TRF Motors? Im looking to create a low end monster with pretty good sound . It will be a 18" woofer thats a daily driver. Are there any particular parts I should request as far as layers to the voice coil or a certain size spiders? Im probably going to go through PSI and have it built.

What do you guys think would be louder(To the ear)? A 12" Havoc 1.7^3 tuned to 33hz Ported or A 15" Havoc 1.7^3(or more) Sealed? Each with 1000 Watts RMS.

i posted this at Si.n also, but it's obviously more at home here. and for anybody who doesn't look at that forum. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...rity/d215.1.wmv oh yeah, and ROE is down for a day or two as they change servers I think, so it probably won't work for a while. sorry ps- have I ever said I love this thing? i should order another and sleep with it. excellent, excellent job.

if i hook up my magnum 15" to my phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1 will it be ok or should i buy a weaker amp??

I just got back into the car audio world, I'm doing a new build and I'd like to have some advice on these subs I'm looking at. I want to get either 15s or a single 18, the brands I've been looking at is the ssa ZCONs, PSI platform 3s or Fi BTLs, I'm running whatever I choose of a crescendo 5500. So can I please get some input

just wondering what all people have heard about alumapro? has anyone used their subs in the past or present?

i have a 12 inch hifonics goliath 1600 watt sub... dual VC the basket is cracked. does any one know of a 18 or 15 inch basket with soft parts for this motor?

i currently am running a 15" fi bl on a saz-1000d in a ported box facing up in a trunk. i was looking into getting either a single 10 or 12 or maybe 2 10's to replace the 15 and still run the saz-1000d so i can face the subs toward the rear and free up some trunk space since my current box pretty much uses up the whole trunk in my grand prix. all sugestions are welcome i dont really have a set budget just want something matched with my amp and was wondering what you all feel might be the best fit.

hello, just needs some inputs on the best possible tweeter + mid for $500 or less. also intallation will be pillars/dash @What music do i prefer? music would be all kinds, simply depends on my mood. rap, rock, lovesongs etc. @What sound do i prefer? something smooth, detailed, with an airy treble, something that you could hardly tell that theres a speaker when position properly. neutral to warm side of things. @Do i have a midwoofer? yes, i have already, but still thinking of a mid that can go down to 150-200hz
