Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm going to be mounting subs in the quarter panels of my 06 GTO. I'm looking for 10's to go in sealed boxes .7cu ft or less and no deeper then 5.25". This has been done with success by other gto owners. I'm not looking to hear the downsides of the placement. Here's a pic of where they are going. Any suggestions are welcome, I'd like to keep the price under $350 for the pair of subs.

I was scrolling through PE's website last night and ran across a driver that I found interesting. The Fountek FR135EX 5" Full Range driver. First of all, I'm surprised that anyone could get the upper extension to consider it a full range with a cone that large and I'm sure beaming would be a major issue if used off axis. When I look at them though I see one thing they could do that a 3" couldn't which is lower end extension. The only real problem I have with the 3" full ranges that I'm using now is the fact that lower/deeper vocals and other such information is pretty anemic. That requires the midbass drivers to reach up a little more than is optimal to bridge the ga…

Yep, the first ever production driver came in today. A second driver should come shortly...which the pair of them are being rush-shipped to a competitor that is going to be putting up some serious numbers with them. The rest of the drivers are going to be glorious, as the one driver I have here is absolutely beautiful. If you guys want pics of it, just let me know.

Alright guys so iv got ideas floating around in my head that i cant just ignore. My first idea was selling my 12" bl and getting a 15" zcon for my civic, but then iv been thinking and im curious as to how cool it would be to have 3 10" smaller powered subs facing up and porting back in the trunk. Maybe like 3 12" dcons or fi x's. Would 3 10's off around 1200 watts be louder then my 1 12 off the same power? its almost triple the cone area and would be so cool to pop the trunk to 3 dcons or something simular haha . Or would i just be better off going with 1 15" zcon on about 2200 wats, if i did that then i would need a bigger alt bigger wire and so forth. How much louder if…

As the title reads: Can a pair of midbass speakers be used on a monoblock amp? I understand they would not be in stereo mode, but how much will/will not affect the 80/90 to 250hz range. Has anyone tried this or am I just pissin in the wind? Asking questions as I plan a new front stage to go with my plans for a wall setup. Thanks

Im curious to know if my MLI-65 mids will play well from 3khz and down (with a 18db slope) Im going to pair them up with Vifa D26NC05 Tweeters thanks

What's up folks I'm about to buy 2 Fi Bl 15's fully loaded I'm wanting to know whats the most power they can handle daily because I have a Memphis mojo 4000 & I personally don't like just doing rms power that's why I chose this subwoofer & not the btl series. Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Goodmorning everybody, I just ordered my first 2 ever Sundown Nightshade v.2 15s. Which are going to be powered by (2) Saz-2500. I ordered a midgate box for the 15's from this site. Here's a link so u can get an idea. http://www.carforce1.com/popup_image.php?pID=123&osCsid=ff95f7f7feb2370cf60b02e13253aef1 My question is 3.5 cubic feet of space in that box enough to really enjoy hard thumping bass. And yes I know the pic isn't for 15's in addition the port on mine is bigger than the one in the pic. N no raping please this is my first build. Last system I had was Liberty City Flea Market brands.

On Jan 1, Mach 5 and SSA will be posting some deals on select Mach 5 product. This is a one day special, so those of you who have been hanging on to their purse strings, brush off the hang-over cobwebs on January 1, 2008 and get on line! Best, Mark

I found me box builder for my truck. the enclosure would be a little over 2.4 cubic ft. net so my options are quad 8's in a custom enclosure or two 10's in a fox acoustics enclosure. if I go with the quad 8's what's a good option to go with under $140 per sub our $220 with the dual 10's? I want something thats sound good but somewhat loud at the same time

I have a pontiac g6, just built a box for 2 sa-12's, wired it down to one ohm running off a AQ1200D. I put the box in, turned it on, turned up my volume to my "max" which is 25 out of 35 on my alpine CDE-123. Now the problem is, i turned to to 25, went back to set my gain, and for now im gonna set it using the clipping indicator on the remote knob (until i can get a DD-1) so i kept turning up the gain, and i had to turn it up all the way to get any "decent" output out of the subs and the clipping light didnt even blink, what i mean by "decent" output is it sounded like 2 8's and the subs barely even moved. box is 3.3 cubes after all displacements tuned to 32hz with 15sq i…

As I've known a long time ago, this forum (SSA) is the best one to find answers about this subs that I'll buy till the end of the year. Subwoofers That I Like : JL Audio, Also Old RF's, JBL's... Some additional Infos : - The Car : Medium Hatchback (Fiat Grande Punto). - Musics : Listen to All kinds, but my Preference are House/Minimal (Deadmau5/ Robet Babicz), Rock/Metal (Led Zeppelin/ Disturbed). - Bass Preferences : Fast, Clean, Low Freqs Extension. - Subwoofer Amp : Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1 (rated around 850Wrms). - Rest of Syst. : Take a Look on my Siganture. - I have quite enought room to most of these subwoofers (around 40/50L), as I'll use only one, but a smaller b…

Hi guys, A tinsel lead broke on one of my mid last week. It's impossible to solder properly, to fix that. So I'm looking for a replacement. My budget is not high enough to just buy a new set like the Focal KR2 or KRX2. I was thinking about a set of JBL gti 608 but I can't find one. I will buy a mini-dsp as soon as the funds are ok, maybe for Xmas. Until then, I will use the passive filters for the Focal tweeters, and I want a set of mids (not to be used on the passive filters). Crossover at 80 or 100 Hz on my Pioneer head unit. I saw a lot of people talking about ScanSpeak speakers, like the Illuminator or the Revelators. Can that be a good choice ? I'll change …

How much could these handle for burps, and are they comparable to an SX for SPL? I have been offered a trade on my SXs for his Claw basket Mags. 2 12" for 2 12" Also I am burping with 6000w+

Hello Now I have two kicker CVX's In a 4 ft box that is 1 foot at the bottom and 6 inches across at he top and is one foot tall. Now how do i find out what it is tuned at ? Also i keey hearing a Small Buzzing like vibration comming from the box. I Think it's the sub it self I just bought these subs and are new. This isnt the driver is it ? i mean i dont think it's coming from the capacitor or the amp that are screw down to the box. But it might be Or Do kicker subs just make this sound ? My CVR's did the same thing but it was the Driver side sub. Now the sound comes from the passanger side. I currently have my gain on my kicker 750.1 set so if you are looking at the su…

So after having my sub for 3 weeks the suspension is gone on it . It is a DC Audio Level 3, i had it in a 3.4ft^3 box tuned to 32HZ running less than rated clean power to it (used a DD1). It never over heated to the point I could smell the coil but today it started bottoming out and i took it out of the box and could bottom it out with one finger. Did i do something wrong or was this a manufacturer error?

I BAUGHT THIS FI 18" SUB, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE ALL I KNEW WAS BTL AND BL AND I FIGURED I BAUGHT THE BL BUT AFTER LOOKIN THRU TOPICS OF GETTING IDEAS FOR MY BOX I WAS GUNA BUILD, I RAN INTO THE OTHER SUBS SSD Q BTL BL AND ETC, CAN ANY ONE GIVE ME ANY INFO ON HOW TO FIND OUT WUT SUB I HAVE PLEASE AND THANK U.

For the longest time I ran my SPL15 inverted due to my box being just under 4 cubic feet net. I also made sure to reverse the polarity on my pioneer HU when I ran inverted . A few days ago I got bored and decided to mount the sub in the "normal" non-inverted fashion. HU sub polarity setting was set back to normal rather than reversed. The sub sounds much louder now and low end reproduction is much more powerful. I thought by putting the motor in the box would decrease net volume therefore raising the tuning a bit. Doing so seems to have had the opposite effect. Box is tuned to 37ish with sub mounted inverted. Can anybody explain why this happened?

or is it just me

I am currently running 2 of the Soundqubed HDS 215's in the backseat of my mustang convertible. Do I like them? Yeah, but the problem is the box takes up my entire back seat and is way to small for those subs and tuned too high. I am missing a lot of low notes and I believe lots of output. I want to sell them and get a new box for a single 15. I am keeping the Hifonics 1700.1 but I need a sub to go in the box. I am looking at this box (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321813323806?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82) at 3.5 cubes total tuned at 32hz. (I can also reverse mount the sub for extra airspace) But I need a good sub to go in it, but I don't want to spend more tha…

i just recently finished the install for this sub (pics in show-off forum<------shameless plug :boink: ) and i gotta say...it is everything advertised and more!! BUILD QUALITY is excellent. looks like a lttle excess glue above the top spider around the former, but i can live with that. same 4 spoke cast basket as many subs including treo and memphis. this thing weighs in at 30 pds...8 pds heavier then one of my treo 15's! all things equal, easily comparable to the best subs out there MUSIC REPRODUCTION WOW, can this thing get low! using a bass mekanics cd, i played everything from test tones to sample tracks. this thing just reproduces adn doesn't quit! it also …

whats up ssa, alright so i see the new zcon line is going into production soon . Right now im running a 12" bl on a aq2200 @ 2ohms. Im thinking of upgrading to something with a more ouput and more sound quality because the bl's just dont have that warm deep solid sound that im looking for. Also honestly it just doesnt get loud enough for me. So i see the new zcons and there looking pretty damn good and from what little iv read about them they are sounding like something iv been looking for for a while. So my question to you knowledgable people is do you think with that 2250 watts will it get louder then the 12" bl, i know its not a spl speaker and thats fine but its gotta…

Will the Xcon sound better?
