    My current system consists of 2 JL10w3's which I have had for a few years. They have always exceeded my expectations and impressed my not-so-caraudio-savy friends. I have done my research and set my sites on Fi BL 10's. I am wondering if my dual ported JL 10'' box and pdx 1.1000 will be enough to get a great performance out of 2 BL 10's. I'm not looking for maximum power, I am just trying to impliment new subs into my existing setup w/o the need to purchase a new box and amp. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. box: http://boxshoponline.com/zencart/images/3615.jpg

    I have a set of 8 Ohm Solo Baric subs I am looking to run on a Mono Amp. I used to have a set of Solo's that were 4 ohm that I ran on a US 1000x. Can't remember what the setup was but I know I had a neg from one sub running to pos to the other sub, then one terminal pos going to the pos on amp and neg going to the amp. Is that just a bridge Mono? Would that have been at 1 ohm? My question is, If I do that on my 8 ohm subs what Ohm rating will I be at. and also what is the exact wiring configuration. I am having an extremely hard time finding a US 1000x amp. I am considering running a JL500/1 does anyone have any other amps they like, I am going towards a SQ setu…

  10. This is my first box so I have no idea what I'm doing! 7.573 cubes @ 34.21Hz I may reduce the port width from 8 inches to 6 inches which will bring the box to 8.574 cubes @ 28.54Hz. Input? (Will change a little with sub displacement) Bottom: 48" x 22" Top: 48" x 22" Left Side: 21.25" x 20.5" Right Side: 20.5" x 20.5" Back: 48" x 20.5" Front: 41.25" x 20.5" Port L1: 14.5" x 20.5" Port L2: 13.25" x 20.5" What would sound the best? Any suggestions?

    I recently bought a 99 ext cab chevy silverado. I am going to buy a pre fab box since i dont have the time or the resources to build a box. The box will be a downfiring underseat sealed box with 2 chambers with .92 cubes per sub, and a mounting depth of 7". The holes can be cut for round or square subs. I will be listening to rap, rock, and country. I need advice on a good subs/amp combo for this box and truck. My budget would be around $800 for the subs and amp.

  12. Hey I have a 400wrms x2 amp and I'm picking up a set of Diamond Audio D971 comps. This is a dumb question most likely but the constant rating is 200wrms and the max is 400wrms for the comps. If I throw them on my orion amp pushing 400 wrms into each channel with the gains set low do you guys think they could deal with it? I'd hate to buy another amp. I can run them off of 100wrms each but then I'm not feeding them enough power....its a catch 22. what would you do?

    I have 2 MTX subs and one of them is about to go out the door and blow. I have a RF 501 BD amp 500RMS@ 2ohms and a 3.4cubic foot ported enclosure for the subs. So i need 2 subs that are SVC4 or DVC2. I'm trying to keep this rather cheap but just tell me what subs would work well off about 250 rms each. Of course i prefer spl over sq but dont want the subs to sound ugly. My friend has cvrs and i want mine to sound better than those if possible, but still get loud. Suggestions: ???

    Hello, i have been hearing many good things about the MAW subs, but i would like to know how they compare to other subs. I have owned INfinity kappa perfects, Perfect VQ, ED K series(original, and v2), and currently i am running an SS RLP 12. How does the output compare to these and others such as IDQ, or the current ED k series, since those can also run in small boxes for a 15. Also, since the Qts is so small on the MAW 15, can it run in a smaller box than the 2.2 sealed and 3.0 ported with good results?

    Haha just kidding Mark, but my alternator took a dump today. I was driving along, tunes cranked all the way, and then I notice that I'm getting a lot more voltage drop on my voltmeter... kinda cool until my amps shutdown cuz the voltage dropped below 11 on the beats Long story short, it doesnt charge much at idle, and I'm hearing a whining noise coming from the alternator. I'll be taking it in on Wednesday to get it rebuilt and see what actually fried. I should be able to make it to work and back tommorrow with it, unless I can bamboozle my dad into driving me, which I doubt.

    Hi all, First of all let me start out by saying how happy I am with my 12" ICON I bought almost a year ago. This thing blew me away for the price I paid, but now I want more! Right now my setup is 1 12" ICON powered by a Sundown Audio SAZ-1000d and I have a couple of questions about upgrading... 1) Should I get another ICON or upgrade to 1 XCON? (either setup will probably be going in a sealed box) 2) Was thinking about purchasing another SAZ-1000d and using the master/slave feature to power whichever setup I go with, or would you recommend buying a different amp at like 2000 watts RMS instead of linking two together? Also, cost is important to me.

    Daber Audio is starting to take off, so I thought I would take this chance and repost some of the store reviews we have got from them.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daber Audio SQL-10 Subwoofer Michelle Kibodeaux Says: "I was getting so frustrated that I couldn't hear the lower frequencies for some of my favorite music! But, I'm a mom, I drive a lil station wagon, and I wasn't into subs for the status. My 10" sub is perfect. Doesn't take up much room, still can tote groceries, but the bass makes all the grocery sacks make a sizzle sound. It's really just perfect!" --------------------------------------------------------…
