Subwoofers / Speakers

I have 2-Eminence Alpha-6A(6.5" midranges) in all 4 doors on a Sundown Audio Sax125.2 that will be hear Wednesday. I plan on deadening the door frame and panel with Damplifier Pro but plan on putting these on top of the Damplifier Pro and positioned right behind each speaker. Will these be Deflex Power Pads(link below) useful or is Damplifier Pro all I need? If it is useful then will car rubber floor mats work just as good or are these made out of completely different material? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=268-242%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&FTR=deflex%20speaker%20pad&CFID=11884925&CFTOKEN=17974532 Thanks for the input.

I am just curious as to what would be considered a high spl number on the metwe for a sub woofer set up?

Please read the rules, linked below!

I will be looking forward to upgrading the stock components in my 2008 xb here soon. Stock has a 6.5 in the lower part of the door and a tweeter in the door in the section where the side mirror is. I know from reading post that you should go listen and pick for yourself but the problem is I live in a small town on the coast of Oregon and the only place in town that has car audio.....well their stuff is at least 5 years old and 2x the price of retail. I can drive east about an hour and a half to Portland and check out stereo shops/stores but most I've seen only carry name brands at inflated prices. So should I just wing it and take a chance on a set? My goals are just t…

Nick, please give some guidelines on how to properly wire your D2 to this amp.

Tell me what you think! Just got everything done yesterday! Sounds awsome, I love it. Well worth the wait/money. Thanks SI!

i have the ability to get a new eclipse sw9102 sub and would like to know if this a great sub. im looking for LSQ it will be powered by a sundown amp 1500 or the 3000

As I was cleaning the garage I found an old pair of MTX ThunderCast 15's. Wondering if any of the manufacturers could recone these? 3" Voice coil 4 spoke cast basket 110 oz motor 6 bolt pattern for motor to basket Took both apart to find out one had a shifted top plate causing the coil to pinch and the other had a scratchy coil due to dirt and debris in the gap along with ripped surround. Are these even worth the time to recone? Just looking for options. Thx Curt

I thinkin about buyin a mag off of someone but dont know how to tell which one it is? Does it even matter which 1 it is? Does 1 have better power handling then the other or would you say they pretty much have the same? heres a pic http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/194/picture001vt3.jpg

So what size speaker wire should I use to go from my sub to sub box? Also what size should I use to go from my sub box to amp. I am getting a 12" Lethal Injection and a Sundown Audio SAE-1200D. Thanks in advance. Jeremy

between these three subs..... 1) sid2 12" 2) re sx12" 3 re xxx12" the sub i chose will be pushed by a hifonics bx1500d @ 1 ohm(whooohooo 1500wrms!!) and put into a ported enclosure( recommmended by the manufactor, of course) in the trunk of my wife's grand prix. i am looking for loud and clean and a price in the $300-$350 range. since this is the wife's car, i want to try something different, ie..no JL, rf,treo,memphis,eclipse,clarion,diamond or anything i can get from local dealers. so..any other suggestions? i will be buying in the next week or so! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I want to go passive over active right now because active seems way more expensive considering that this will be my first component build. But, how do I get good mids and tweets to sound good with the crossovers? JimJ said that these crossovers won't work too well? Amp: Crunch PowerZone 4-Channel Amplifier (PZi175.4). Sub: Dayton RSS265HF-4 10" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm 350w RMS. Tweets: Morel MDT-12 1-1/8" Neodymium Tweeter 80w Mids: Dayton Classic DC130-8 6" 50w Crossover: Dayton XO2W-3K 2-Way Crossover 3,000 Hz Another question, will this ^ sound better than this: Pioneer Components, TS-C160R

im getting a MT15 friday MORE TO COME SOON....... jamie

Hello there. I`ve 2x PowerBass XA-3000D amps. And I`m really happy with them. Got a few questions though. I know they can be loaded down to 0.5ohm. Do they kick out any more power at this ohmage? And what is the power figure @ 14.4v?

i have a 94 caprice wagon and had purchased infinity693.7i 6x9's for the rear. they work fine up until i actually go to screw them in. they actually seem to be grounding themselves out on the bracket where the speaker goes. i checked all the wires and nothing is wrong as far as i can tell. i think it may just be a defective speaker. any input/help would be greatly appreciated.

Found a helluva deal on ScanSpeak D2904/6000-01. Check out their prices at Madisound then go to www.pacparts.com. Click on Consumer Electronics and do a parts search for Alpine Model Number SPXF17T. It will pull up a page with all the parts associated with the sets and you will see the part number D2904/600001. It is the raw tweeter of the set sourced from ScanSpeak and guess which model they picked? It is the same exact specs wise. Just says lowly alpine on it......and they say there isn't a price for the label. I just ordered a set to go with the Lotus Ref's and I should see them in a week and a half. They don't stock them, they source them right from Alpine, t…

A while back I picked up 4 MJ18s for use in my home system and I was recently finally able to get them on a Klippel analyzer to see how they perform at small and large signals. I'm posting the information here for anyone else who cares. First off, the unit to unit variation was small. For the linear parameters I'll list the average and for the nonlinear curves I'll show one of them; the rest are similar. The linear parameters are determined in three circumstances: the driver at very small signal, the driver at large signal but cold, and the driver at large signal and warm (after playing some time). Which of these to use really depends on the application; in my case I u…

I found some JL 8w0 subs for 50$$ Worth it ?? They decent subs ? I looking for some cheapys for my mothers car she wants a little thump lol

just a question before i buy Sealed - 70 litres (2.5 cu. ft.) Ported - 84 litres (3 cu. ft.) 28Hz tuning do these include the driver and port volume, the driver looks huge, and the box volumes are so small

I just put my system in my car from the old one and I've had a bit of problems. Its a small system and only 1 10"sub and 1 amp powering the sub. The amp has power i've tried wiring the sub for r +, l - and r -, l + on the amp The sub setting on the deck is on and set to max The sub doesn't get a signal, doesn't hit at all Any ideas on what i can do next to figure out whats going on? Thanks alot

I used to have a 15 inch avalanche and i LOVED it. i would have ran 2 but they stopped making them. im looking for a great setup that is an LSQ setup which hits the lows GREAT. i want it to be hard to breathe in the car. im thinking of maybe 2 SI mag 15s with probably a 1000/1 on each. will probably be 8cuft ported tuned to 30hz. has anyone heard an avalanche 15 that can compare them? i have 4 15 RE SEs right now but i only installed one and i decided they were not what im looking for. any help will be appreciated thank you.

i ordered my IA death row 15 and i have a sae-1500dv2 and i am building the box... i need some suggestions on box size and port area.... i have a grand prix gtp and i have looked at recomended sizes and port but need input from a user and what would be the best to get loudest on music... let me know and all sugestions are welcomed thanks

Hi guys, Im not quite sure if I put this in the correct section but Im sorry if its not right. Anyways I found I really good deal on a W7 on Craigslist close to my house. I was going to call the guy and make a time to check out the sub. Im pretty dumb when it comes to knowing what signs of abuse are for subs but I was wanting to know in general what are some things I WANT to see as well as some things I DONT want to see (as far as whether I should buy the sub). I mean I know that holes in the subs surround or any cracks are bad but as far as the mechanics of the sub what are some signs of abuse. Hope this makes sense.
