Subwoofers / Speakers

i hear this thing has great sq... but i'm cuious of its spl also. i'm deciding on new subs now... i'm looking at the magnums, sx or se. i'm trying to save a little money. also... they aren't going for competiton or anything. i'm hoping to spend less than 900 on subs and amps... hoping. but sq is important to me... i'm stepping up from 2 12w3 i want to keep the sq.. but add alot more loud sticking with 12 inch... i'm hopefully getting a 97-99 gsx in spring... and i don't believe the trunk will be big enough for a 15... i'd like to go 2 12s just because i like the look of 2 i'm hearing that one xxx or brahma would be just as good as 2 se. any input... i'm open to suggesti…

I was thinking of using my current Mag15 in a HT setup once I get my new Mag in. Unless I sell this one first. How do you think it would do? I assume it would kick ass, especially considering the sq. I have also read where people usually double the box size when doing a HT install. Is this neccasary? Or would 4-5cuft ported still do?

ok I have finally decided what my substage will consist of and I am looking for suggestions on if it is good or not, the setup will consist of 2 10" or 12" Diamond D6 dual 4 subs and a sundown sae1000 amp, each D6 will be seein about 500rms each, tell me what you think

Anyone know where i can get the enclosure specs for the new Li abd I series drivers? I looked on their site but found nothing. Thanks

how safe will i be if i over power the mj-18 by 200wrms? if i cant do that how much is safe to do? thanks

at the moment i have 2 orion xtr pro 12s in 2001 chevy 1500 Z71 in a front-fire truck box with only a 800 watt amp running both. it was my first car audio system. i am selling my subs and amp to my cousin and now i want to upgrade my system. ive been looking at Fi and just wonder what you guys think about putting 2 Fi Q 12s in that box (its sealed). ive never actually head Fi in person but from what ive read on here they seem really good . i know one will probably be enough but the box is designed for two subs so im gonna put two back in it. also what may be a better choice for the amp as well? thanks, dave

i want to get rid of my little 10" type-rs and go with one 15" sealed theres too many options out there, so to help me narrow things down.. whats the general favorite for SQ, 15", and sealed to spec?

What size box is recommended for 1- 10" Brahma Mk1? Its going to be a ported box.

i wanted to know if a 3 1/4 bullet tweeter would fit in a 3 1/2 speaker opening in my dash. right now i have infinity 3 1/2 coaxial speakers and i thought the bullet tweeters might be louder. i was looking at the boss audio 3" and a few others . the depth of the openiing is 2 inches

So I've always noticed the impeadence/graph phases on most (good) subwoofer companies manuals, but I've never understood necessarily how they worked. Of course I know what impeadence and phase meant, but not too sure how it works on this graph (the frequency on the X axis, resistance on Y). To my understanding, it has to do with backpressure in the intended enclosure, so at the certain frequency where the resistance peaks that is where the backpressure in the enclosure its meant for peaks? And as for phase I guess thats just saying that 1 line is at 0 degrees and the other is at 180? But thats my guess whether its right or wrong the factor of backpressure? I've been getti…

I've got a question regarding my XCON, it looks like the glue is separating from the cone and the surround on the underside of the sub. I was wondering how to go about repairing this issue. Thanks in advance.

Which one would hit harder The hdc3 is 370 shipped and the btl would be around 450 fully loaded. I want a hard hitting system but I don't have much space I drive a 2000 accord coupe. So what do you guys think I should get.

Last year I traded locally with this guy for a 12w4. The sub is in my 2006 Chevy single cab truck. Box is roughly 2 cubic feet slot ported tuned at 32hz. The sub sounds perfect for the enclosure. Very very good and accurate sound. My only problem is that it's being pushed by a RF Amp with a birth sheet of 926 rms watts. Definite overkill for the sub. So I've turned it way down. Even at that, if I crank it at the deck and certain frequencies the sub sounds like it's being crunched. So I've thought about swapping the sub for a higher wattage subs. A JL W 6 looks to be to deep for the setup. So I checked around and it appears Kicker makes the CVX with very simila…

i have 99 f350 reg cab long box and would love to build a system but dont want to loose comfortablity i would like to put some shallow subs in a box behind the seat 3-4 shallows dont know what brand and or will it sound loud and nice any help will be apreciated

Scooped this up for $40, thought that was a decent deal. Its a 12 and originally a dual 2. Id like to get a quality recone kit for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Id like it to be a dual 1.4 with attached leads and as close to stock as possible, unless there's reasons I shouldnt. itll be used for daily listen, ill be runnin a sundown sae 1200 @ 1 ohm to it in a 2 cu ported box tuned to 32 hz. I have a 12 spoke basket I could use if that gives me different options; more excursion?

Can i use 2 1/2 dry wall screws to mount my sub in the box? Does it matter what line driver you use? Last question, will any RCA's work, if there cheap or not?

I am going to be ordering a 10" FI Q in the next couple of days. It will be going in a sealed box with .57 cu. ft. or airspace after displacement. I will probably be running it with an older Memphis 1000d I have laying around. I know I need to add the high QTS option to it, but should I add the cooling option as well? This may actually be a stupid question but does the cooling option add any length to the mounting depth? My box is only 7" deep so I dont have any room to play with being that the mounting depth for the Q is already 6.5". Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

hello ssa just wanted to know if i strapped a rockford bd3000 on either a fi btl 15" or a DD 9515" in a good ported box to specs...which will produce more numbers? and also sound better doing it?

Have any of you guys heard them? How do they sound in terms of SQ or are they just geared towards getting loud? I read some reviews but they were from ppl that are running them. I wanted to get a larger unbias populations opinion. Thanks

Hi guys I am trying to figure out what is the best sub for around $200 that I can get. Here are my criteria: 15" 1000 rms More for SPL than SQ ~$200 I would prefer 1ohm stable but doesn't really matter.... My amp is a AQ1200D-rated at 870rms @ 2ohms and 1200rms @1ohm.... So far I am leaning towards the Alpine Type-R 15", many people have positive reviews about it... What other subs could I look at? thanks in advance!

Well this pretty much sucks. I have a brand new set of ID Xs-65 Components in my truck, along with a pair of ID CTS-69 in the rear. They are powered off a 4x150 PDX amplifier. I don't have my subs in, I have the crossover set at 60hz HP all the way around. I was driving the other day, listening to the radio at a normal level (Can't crank it without woofers and getting it set up) and one of the 6.5's stopped working. Mind you, I have the gain to just above muted on the amplifier, and again, I'm not rocking out with no adjustments or subwoofers to tune it in. First I thought that maybe my crossover wiring came undone since the tweeter was still playing. Nope. Hooked touch…

There's a chance I may need a recone or something (hope not ), my sub amp has been cutting out the last two days and the protection light was on. Gonna take a DMM to the coils sometime soon. but my question is........would there be any gain by reconing my older model D2 with the new Mag's soft parts? Or do you think I should just get a new Mag?

So I was told not to open the back hatch\tailgate in my Tahoe while my subs are playing (in a ported enclosure)..Something about it bottoming them out? Is this true, and if so why do I see videos of people doing it to put paper or other items in front of their port?

Hey all. Question, I'm looking at some component sets and have come across both Pheonix Gold RSDs and Arc Audio 600.6 sets and really like both. RSDs are $40 cheaper, but what do you think of arc audio? Are they worth the extra $40? Thanks Arc Audios Pheonix Golds

huge question for true bass heads... im looking for a clear crisp yet hard hitting deep bass.... which one of the two would you recommend https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...ew.shopscript# or http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...es_a nd_specs 15inch by the way also for them both....just want one...and they are gonna get powered by this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199494646259 and the reason im goin with best buy amp is because i can get it for almost half off with my friends discount..... i have one type-r 12in in my trunk now but im lookin for more hard hitting deeper bass....what you think??? keep in mind i dont wanna spend anything over 500-600
