Subwoofers / Speakers

what does that mean? and how do i fix it?

Does the crossover in a component speaker system affect the way the mid-bass woofer plays? Reason I ask is because I'm currently using only the mid-bass driver of a component system and it doesnt seem like the speaker is playing as good as it did when the crossover was in use.

looking to use 2 Mach5Audio MAW-15's or 2 mj-18's in a downfiring sealed box for my ht. power would be coming from a behringer rack amp. what size box would be recommended for either set-up . thanks

Hey guys! so its time to get around to finishing up my car in at least short terms. And i've got Big 3 to do, dampening (it never ends), and a new front stage. What would you guys recommend for a front stage? Lemme give you guys the set-up/etc i'm looking currently for a so-so good sounding driver. I'm in a way looking for stuff to keep up with my sub and not be overpowered. So just a good sounding driver for my price range. Size: 6.5" slot...the window cuts pretty close in terms of mounting depth, so nothing thats overly deep Components Vs. Coaxials: I'm not real particular, but i don't really want to modify my doors. Coaxials are of course 6.5's and components are 6.5 m…

where do 2) 15inch SSA Icon 15D2 subs perform best? tuning and airspace wise.

So I'm going to be using these little monsters in my dad's stereo & possibly in my own. I figured I'd show you guys some pics of them & ask for any ideas. I'm going to give my dad 2 & use 4 for myself. My question is what kind of enclosure should I use. Mainly asking about the 2 for my dad, I have never built for home audio & am working with a fairly large room. The rooms 20 x 14 with a 17 ft ceiling. Just looking for any help or links at all. thanks, nate the army!

ok im going to to get two 13"w1v2 subs and i was wondering what would be a good amp to make the subs be as loud as possible i want it to be super loud and what are some good door speakers?

I'm looking to get rid of my Atlas and find something that will work within this situation: I have 450w @ 4ohms to power the sub, needs to work in an enclosure no bigger than 2.5 cubes gross (the smaller the better), I would like something that will play into the 20hz range as flat as possible, and I'm looking to keep the price of the sub below $150 (or whatever I get for the Atlas). Sealed or ported, as long as I can package the whole deal within 2.5 cubes, I'll be good to go.

like the topic says i need some recommendations for a new box for my maw15. right now i have it sealed at 2.2cuft. after displacements, and while it sounds nice, just dissapointed with the output. was hoping to like it sealed as i like the flatter response of sealed boxes little more than ported, but after awhile of listening to it i'm starting to find myself turning off the radio cause i'm a little pissed:( hu settings are fine, amps fine but it's the response i'm getting that's letting me down. problem i'm getting into is around 90% of songs on any given cd (rap/hip-hop) i put in has like no response at all, then others will just slam. don't get it, same cd's will play …

I just wanted to say congrats on building a great driver. If it sounds anywhere as good as it looks(which I know it does) you have a winner. This is hands down one of the best looking/meanest subs I've seen in a while. Its always after I buy a sub something new comes out that I want I'll get one sooner than later....

stripped the old cone out / cleaned the basket / saughtered the connections on the tencel leads / used 30min epoxy resin ( clear ) / had to make my own spacers as they did not shipp with the kit... all thats left to do is place the dustcap and connect the leads to the Positive & negitive terminals... will take pics asap...

I am looking to piece together a component system which will consist of Mach 5 MLI-65 mid-ranges or AA polys between those 2 for mid bass. For tweets I am looking at Seas H1396 or Vifa D26nco5? I will probably go passive then active when I get my Sundown 100.4.... So whats the better tweeter between those two?

What are the reccommended box sizes and tunnings?

I have come down to these 3 sets of comps. Does anyone have any opinions and experiences with any of these components?

how do these two subs compare in SQ and SP?

I dont know how comparable these drivers are but if you had the choice what would you pick and why. What is the SQ like, how loud, how low all of those good things. It would be on 1000RMS.

Ive heard these are very very nice for the price, Trying to find a good Component set up for under 250$ shipped. Any suggestions or input will help a lot. Amp: Profile 440 Truck: 1986 2 door S10 Blazer Thanks

I would like to know the mag(current gen) diameter needed so i can get the correct size dustcap to cover whole cone with an inverted dustcap. like this, except i will be using an Aluminum dustcap, if anyone has any alloy caps btw please let me know! here is why id like to replace. i get it out but there is a crease now, so i am replacing whole thing. thank you in advanced ~mir ali~

Factory recommendations: Acceptable: 0.4 - 0.95 cu ft net volume sealed 0.3 - 1.2 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 22 - 36 Hz Optimal Car: 0.65 cu ft net volume sealed 0.45 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 27 Hz I notice that the optimal vented box is smaller than the optimal sealed. I was thinking going sealed b/c of space issues but if going ported will really be smaller should I do this. Im also thinking aero ports and need some information on how to calculate what size I would need to tune to 27 hz. Does anyone own an rl-i if so what kind of box is it in?

Are there any new news on when the new mags will became available?

Welp... picked up my SPL 12 from the post office today.... damn it's impressive. Unfortunately my comp. car is in storage already... so it'll have to wait a few months before I can play with it If Mark comes out with a 15 though... I can guarantee I'll be picking up a pair of those too!

I'm wanting to go active with front stage. I've been shopping around Seas, Peerless, Aura, etc, and was wondering if anyonce has used the mli-65 midbasses-midrange in a IB door install. If so, looking for opinions on their performance compared to the other offerings mentioned above. Note: tweeters have been decided on either.

Hello all. Like the new front page Very nice Had a little test at the Talk Audio Guildford Meet on Sunday. With my Vectras rushed boot install. Sorry this is one of my worst ever installs. I`m ashamed to show it. But it is loud!!! Yes that`s an Orion 5000d running @ a 1ohm load to those two 12" Baby Mags. Here are the scores: Peak Freeq = 142.3dB @ 20Hz 40 Hz= 141.4dB 33 Hz= 141.5dB 25 Hz= 141.4dB 20 Hz= 142.3dB Total Average score = 141.7dB Very Happy with those scores :earmuffs: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the Escort. I`ve another 15" Mag on it`s way to me Thanks to Nick …

im looking for a nice 2 way active set to run, they are going to be powered by 2 Gladius w. BB the price range i would like to keep it all under 400 but willing to go a little bit higher maybe 500 even... im more sq oriented i love detail... i listen to mainly rock/ acoustics... but generally anything... i like strong detailed midbass and more of a mellow tweeter... this is going to be my first real DIY setup... im pretty much looking for a well rounded set that can handle all types of music... any suggestions would be helpful, ill probably browse madisound and list items that look good its going into a 2000 Acura Integra, im not sure of the mounting depth in the doors bu…

Been a long day... IXL-15.2.2 and SPL-12 specs are now up on the website for those who are mildly curious. Thanks for being patient. m
