Subwoofers / Speakers

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

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'm ready to start this bad boy. This will be a totaL SQ install (I hope). I'm starting from scratch. The Altima is completly stock. Here are the plans... Front Stage 2-way or 3-way (if it will work) up front. Components that I'm considering are as follows: Tweets Peerless 810921 (big flange , but I think I can work with it). Vifa XT 255C5G (already have a pair) Seas 27TAFNCC (heard great things about it, but not a real big fan of aluminium tweets) Woofer Seas CA22RNX 8" Peerless SLS 830667 8" I can fit and 8" in the doors with a bit of modification. Power? Not sure yet. I'm a big fan of Zed and would love a Draconia (already have on e in the truck). I'm considering the …

whats some sub choices? i want LOUD daily bump...only want 2 subs, nothing less than 15's. dont really want 18s. are mt's a dumb idea? like ive heard alot of systems that hit around 150-152 on the TL, i really want mine that loud, but daily, not just on burps...

just saw this somewhere out on the net. thought it was pretty damn funny..

so, once again... i was surfing the local craigslist looking and hoping id find a nice single 12 and came across 2 kicker solo x 18s... one with a new recone and one used. He was asking $400 each so i decided to lowball the ish outta him.. ended up getting them for... a more than good deal. idk what it is with ppl around cincinnati, but they make me happy haha. almost as good as the aq3500 i got for $150 lol sorry, i had to share!

I am trying to remove the factory speakers from the back deck of the G6 but I am Not sure how to remove them. The Speaker grills dont seem to pop off. There are some clips in the trunk around each speaker but when I undo those, all it does is loosen the entire back deck Any Idea on how to change? Also I have 6x8's from my old car I would like to put in. But the factory size is 6x9? Will it still work out Fitting the 6x8's in? Thanks in advance ~MadroX

Has anyone ever used these Vifa A16CG-21-04 6-1/2" Coaxial w/Audax Tweeter 4 Ohm? Im thinking about using them in the rear door of my blazer. I will be using them with my sundown 50.4 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl....275&scqty=2 Thanks

Rear Fill Yay or Nay ? I have stocks running off the deck and have a few dollars laying around should i invest in a nice coax and an amp ? coax and the HU power ? or leave it as it is ? thanks

I know alot of you preach how worthless rear speakers are, I can understand if were talking about rear doors or something...my rear speakers are 6 x 9's mounted in the rear deck lid. Just playing around with my stock system its clear as day those speakers are back there and I'm going to replace them with after market speakers. The front stage will be a set of Rockford fosgate 6.5 components (T1652-S) using the passive crossovers it comes with. So... to keep with the fosgate theme for my speakers I see there is 2 different sets of power series 6x9's fosgate makes. 2 way and 3 way.. I understand what that means as far as how they operate but I'm not sure which one will be b…

I have a 06 Toyota corolla and the rear speakers are right next to each other (about 6" apart), killing the stereo effect. I was considering getting 6x9 boxes and setting them on top of the back dash so I can get the separation, but I'm pretty sure putting speakers that large in boxes that small will diminish my sound, mainly the low end, maybe kill it. Right now it has a nice punch, sounds like the drums are in the car. when I'm listening, the front has great separation, of course, but everything from the back seems to come from the center. I need advice.... Boxes? Is there sum kind of separating thing I can put on the rear deck? Just leave it?

Hello, I am in the process of upgrading the audio system on my 2002 Maxima. My setup is: Rainbow CS 265 X-Plain Pro Component (Fronts) Power (Peak=120W & RMS=80W) @ 4 Ohms JBL GTO638 (3-Way) [Rears] Power (Peak=180W & RMS=60W) @ 2 Ohms 2 Image Dynamics IDQ 10" subs Power (Peak=500W & RMS=250W) @ 4 Ohms (Dual Coil) Kenwood X997 Headunit Power (Peak=50W & RMS=22W) @ 4 Ohms ESX Quantum 604 (4 channel amp) for the speakers Output Power at 12V: 4 x 60W @ 4 ohms 4 x 90W @ 2 ohms 2 x 180W @ 4 ohms bridged 2 x 75W @ 4 ohms bridged "TRUE MONO" 2 x 120W @ 2 ohms bridged "TRUE MONO" 2 x 180W @ 1 ohm bridged "TRUE MONO" ESX Quantum 1752 for the subs O…

I have been trying to plan out a complete system for my new 2011 malibu. I own 2 sa12s so those will be my sub stage. Amp I have my eye on a crescendo bc2000. Slight electrical upgrades will follow My situation... I want a clean front stage, my systems to date have all been drowned out by bass and I don't want that for this build. Although I'm not willing to do any heavy modifications.. I will be using stock locations. Doors take a 6.5 and there is a tweeter cutout in the pillar so a component set is what I'll do. Rear speaker cut outs are 6 x 9s I don't plan to seal off the trunk from the cab at this time.. maybe after I've got a system in there and play with it but I d…

So I see theres a subwoofer that comes in a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm version. I believe a 2 ohm version would be easier to run and most D class amps are compatible with lower ohm rated subwoofers? So is the only reason between the versions, based on which amplifier you have? Just trying to understand this. Thanks! Also, yes I did buy an Acura TLX 2017 tech. With the ELS speaker system. It sounds pretty good but is lacking in quality bass. It has an 8 in subwoofer which sound distorted and horrible. I'll first start by getting a decent subwoofer and then speakers later. Edit: also what SSA sub would be comparable to the JL 12w6 and one comparable to the JLw3…

My friend needs a single 15 sub setup that will perform nicely off 750-1000 rms in 3 cube ported box. He is trying to spend 200$ or less on the subwoofer. Probably going to get slightly used or new, but most new are out of his range. Ive been thinking RE SX, FI Q, Fi SSd.. something along those lines. Would like your recommendations. Thanks

I haven't decided between a 12" and a 15" sub. The old phrase "there's no replacement for displacement" keeps coming into my head when I think of getting a twelve. Right now I have a 15" sub, but I think I'd like to save some space. Obviously bigger subs will go down lower and be audible, but in the 30is-100+hz range. Do 15" subs have any advantage over 12" subs. I'd like to find a sub in the ~$200 range give or take. Would you mind recommending me sub for each size or just one. I'd like to know what I'm giving up and gaining by going 12. Obviously I'm gaining space, and giving up some lowend, but will the size affect the musical range? I'm not looking to burp this setup.

They seem great. I still can't believe Mark's prices. You would never guess that they're $36 speakers by looking at them. They even came with grills and hex screws. I'll be installing them tonight. I can't wait. You'll get a review on Monday. Since this is my first post, here's a little background: I'm 16, got into this stuff when I got my car at 14. I drive a Geo Tracker with a pair MAW12s, each in a PWK designed 4th order BP. The boxes are stacked in a wall sorta style. It's ridiculously loud even with the soft top. I have a PHD-10,000W/2 driving the MAWs which are wired to 4 ohms. My front-stage consists of a NINe.4 driving a/d/s tweeters and the MLIs wil…

I need a class D amp for my mag15 (since I can't find a PPI PC2350). I am looking for 1000-1500 watts at either 1ohm or 4ohms. I have a PG Tantrum 1200.1 but it sucks my elec system dry and I want to get a Class D amp to help out on my elec system some. So if anyone has any recomendations please add them here. also: FS: PG Tantrum 1200.1

Can anyone recommend some 6.5" components for $200? I need to hurry up and order some before Christmas... The doors are not deadened but the MIGHT be some distant time down the road... I will also get an amp to properly power them... Also, would like to stay away from metal tweets... Will be getting subs in the future... EDIT: When did the shop start selling Diamond Audio? I thought there were no authorized internet dealers? Or did they just get their hands on some so they started selling them? I have been looking at the D661s component set by diamond...

Hey im a newbie and i am lookin into sellin my current system and getting a new one. I am sellin my Pl2-212 system with PA amp. My friend is thinking about buying it but he needs permission from his parents (lol). Anyways i was looking at getting a new system and i am looking for more of an Spl sub(s) that still has alot of Sq to go around. I am looking for a Sub(s) that is no more than 250. Thanks

Hey im getting a Toyota Camry to start driving and im wondering which sub or subs yall would recommend. The smallest i want to go is 12. Open to any suggestions.

Ok, I'm redoing my system in my truck. I have a 15" Fi Q going in a 32hz 3.6cu box. I have a JL Audio 300/4 I picked up for cheap that will be here soon. I plan on picking up a Premier 880 or 800 in the next few weeks. I currently have 2way Infinity Reference speakers in there off HU power. I want a component setup that would sound great active or passive for around $200. I've never done active and I think that I may give it a shot. What are some good sets for the money? They are going in the factory door location. No kick pods. I was looking at the CDT CL-62 with the upgraded 1" titanium tweeter, and also Focal's Access 165. Any help would be great.

I'm considering getting a fosgate t800.4 or a t1000.4 for my components but the thing is..I really don't know of any components that will be able to handle that kind of power. I will have two sets in each door. And I wasn't to keep the price under $350 per set

I'm looking for some really hard core 10" subs for daily ground pounding in my '91 Vette. Three 10" subs in a TOTAL space of 3 cu. ft. or less would fit quite nicely in the space I intend to use. I'm looking for decent sound quality, but I mostly just want subs that will sound the loudest when pushed to reasonable limits. What I mean by reasonable limits, is the maximum output that can be sustained continuously without causing any damage (at least to the sub anyway). I really don't care if it takes 10 watts or 10,000 watts to get that max output, I just wanna know which ones will have the most output in this situation. Thanks for any advice.
