Subwoofers / Speakers

I used to drive a chevy silverado, and now I'm driving a pontiac grand prix gtp. in the chevy ontop of the back seat, i had 3 memphis 12's in a ported box tuned around 40 hz. now i'm trying to figure out a box that can fit in the trunk to have the 3 subs ported a little lower, probably around 30. the problem isnt so much that i don't have enough trunk space, but the opening when the trunk's open is EXTREEMLY too small to fit a 6 cu. ft. box ported, so now i need help as to putting them all in.... my first guess would be to build three seperate boxes and put them in that way and maybe bolt them all together or something, but has anyone dealt with grand prixs and have a bet…

Anyone know anything about these subs? Someone I know suggested these over the IDQV312's. Looking for a good sound quality sub. Going to put 2 in a sealed box in the trunk of a small 4 dr sedan. Was pretty set on the IDQ's but then these were brought to my attention. Parts-Express.com:

I have a sa8 in a 1.0cubic ft Ported box around 33-34hz the sub is 400 rms and I have a planet audio Tq1601d monoblock amp. I want to run it at 2 ohm but thats pushing 800rms. Do you guys think the sub can handle that power? I mean, gains down and careful tuning on my headunit the sub shouldn't be in danger right? At 4 ohms the amp pushes 500rms.

built the box yesterday, didnt carpet the sides because I ran out of spray adhesive. I did all the work, played with the gain and xover on the amp for a while listening to a bunch of different music, and I think what happened was a combo of me going slightly deaf, the amp getting hot and starting to lose effieciency, maybe voltage dropping, and the sub not being broken in yet, because I thought it was pretty good but when I put the seat back up it didnt seem loud at all. so I basically went inside a little depressed that it wasnt an improvement over the old setup. met my girl when she got off work (its her car) and I told her that I wasnt satisfied and Id buy her another …

Stopped at an audio shop in central MN and was very impressed with the Arc Audio Black series. Its a 2 way passive component set with a 6.5" mid, a 1" tweeter, and passive crossovers, I'm planning on running it active since i have an 80PRS. Anyway the guy was quoting me a price of $670 l(could hopefully talk him down a bit) Its cheaper than what I've seen the for new online. I'm hoping to hear personal reviews of these being installed. I have the 80PRS for a HU and a RF T8004 to power the component set. The mid will be installed in factory location and the tweeter will be installed in the door, right above the mid. If anyone has questions or comments please them below.

I was contemplating on which i would rather have. I was wondering if i should go with two Sa12s or a single zv3 15. Currently i have a Fi Bl 15 being powered with a Hifonics BRE 1700.1. My box size is going to have to stay around 3.5 cubes because of my limited trunk space in my 2010 Malibu. So would you guys prefer 2 sa12s or the single 15? P.s. I lean more towards lows, would the Sa's get very low?

Hey guys i was lookin for 1 pair of sub to put in a chev taho from these spec is these sub i good buy??? http://cgi.ebay.com/SKAR-AUDIO-VVX-12-DVC-4-OHM-12-600-WATT-RMS-SUBWOOFER-/170556777393?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item27b5f9e3b1

So in the next month i will be starting a new box build. I am kind of good at this stuff but always look for others advice. So the new build will be for 2 Fi sp4 18" fully loaded subs. 1 Crescendo Audio bc5500d and 3 xs power xp3000 batts. Still have to find some one that makes an upgraded alt for my car(2004 Hyundai Elantra gt HB) that does not cost an arm and a leg. I will be removing the back seat building a large box and then walling around it the box size is going to be 48"w x 36"h x 30"d. Will be 1.5in thick with at 2.5in front plate. From what i came up with(been a while since i made a box) was a box that will have 15.98 cuft after porting. The port is 7in tall and…

Right now my box is set up with sub and port firing to the rear. I am considering cutting a hole in the top for the sub and plugging the rear hole to see what it does to the sound while keeping same box size and tuning. Due to box dimensions, the only way to do it would put the sub right at the port opening in the box. It's a typical slot port so it won't be blocking the port. I remember reading somewhere that it's not ideal to have the sub close to the port if you can help it. How big of a deal is it and how much would it affect what I am trying to do? Depending on what the sound difference is will be deciding on how I build my next box.

what the hell are you gonna put that thing in? And it comes in an 18

So my subwoofer (Alpine Type R 12") is dual voice coil 4 ohm. Now what I'm confused with is it's wiring down to 2 ohms (for 500 watts RMS). I wired down to "2 ohms", but is that per voice coil, making it 4 ohms, thus leaving me with only 300 watts RMS? If so, does that mean I'd have to wire it down to 1 ohm, making it 2 ohm total? Basically what I'm asking is if the ohms are per voice coil, or total. Any help would be great! This would really make things clear.

What's Up Guys? I just recently bought a camaro and was wanting to develop a substage in it. I think I'm going to buy a subthump enclosure and was wondering what you guys thought I should do. They offer a deepwell enclosure whihc is what I was thnking of getting. I was wondering if 2 sealed RL-P 15's would be choked in 3.2 cubes or not? I have always used 12s and think 15s owuld be cool to use. The deep well box offers 3.2 cubes and then normal well enclosure offers 2.3 cubes. Deep Well Woofer Options-Single 12 or 15, and Dual 12 or 15 So Give me some ideas within these guidelines please. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm new to these forums. Hopefully you are all enjoying your holidays. =) Anyways, I won't lie. I know little-to-nothing about car audio. I've been starting to pick some stuff up over the course of this past week, when I decided that I would like to start looking into subs/amps for my car. I own a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, and I currently have; Front Speakers - 4x6" JBL's (GTO6427) Click Rear Speakers - Energy 6x9" 3-Way's (ENC693X) Click Deck - Pioneer MP3 Deck w/ USB (DEH-P5000UB) Click I can't complain all that much about how things sound in my car, I really don't mind them. I'd just like to put some more power (specifically bass) into it now. When I first…

Well, I finally blew this little sucker. Tough to believe, but this little $15 dollar driver actually sounded good and performed rather well in a minute .33cubes. I was intrigued by the design so I decided to tear it apart. Have a look. Motor removed. Can you believe this tiny thing is the driving force??!! Coil. It's a little burnt, but not much. It appears as if the winding has broken, but I can't tell for sure. All done.

The deal is anytime i listen to the music in my car at low volume my sub woofer will some times not play as loud as it should at the volume my head-unit is set at. but when i turn the volume on the head-unit up half way it will start playing like it should at that volume. head-unit - eclipse cd5030 amp - jl audio 300/2 v1 sub - sundown audio sa-10

Set up for so far is Pioneer 9800 headunit, Sundown 100.4 amp, Morel Supremo Tweeter. Looking for a great mid driver now. I have looked at the morel ovations, seas, and the focal. Any suggestions? Budget = around 500 - 600. i just want a great speaker with amazing midrange and a solid midbass.

I need to know the diameter of the bottom part of a 12" Mag's motor. If all go as planned (which is now my 7th plan), the box is going in a sealed box to fit in hear: http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166973.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166974.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166975.jpg The bottom slopes and I didn't take that into acount in my first few designs. I'm planning something like this (side view): http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/572/179813.jpg And if the diameter of the bottom is more then 4", it will hit the bottom board. And I"ll have to look for another driver.

aight i bout to go all out and buy some more subs, so should i get 2 xxx's 2 mags 2 ED a's the new bois 2 MT's they gone be 15's any body got prices on the subs cuz i'm kinda lazy..

here are a couple pics of the oz matrix power 10" sub. paid $70 shipped for it. i knew there was a crack in it though.

..iam interested into Kicker solo-baric L7 15" ...i will be usin a 1800Wrms amp ..and i thought.. a 5cube box at 36Hz.. ...what do u guys think about this SUB ...(can it handle 1500W,whats with the build quality and this is not SQ sub-right?)

Anyone use any ribbon tweets? I have heard them in home but never seen them in a car audio application. Any have opinions?

this may sound funny but I built a new box today and the program from baec1 say that it is 2.1 after displacement and tuned to about 29 htz when I put the sub on I had a pop sound on heavy bass notes but I can't tell if it is coming from the sub or the port same amp as last box had to turn the gains down in the new box for fear of damage but I never heard this with the old box which was about 2.4 at 33 htz I did notice that I did not screw the port board to the top of the box only the bottom has anyone had this and does it sound like the pop from the sub next box is going to be sealed I am not smart enough for making ported boxes :thud:

I am looking for a good component set that is $250 or less maybe a little bit more if needed. They have to be 5.25. i want some good sounding speakers that can get loud.

wazzup folks i recieved my audioque hdc3 18 by ups friday and had a helluva time getting all 7 cubes tuned to 30hz made of birch in my ext cab sierra. As soon as i turned on my stereo it was on a country song on a Cd. i noticed it was as loud as my 1 12 but it has even moved 2 milimeters yet and thats when i giggled. so to play around i put on a test tone of 25hz and stepped out of my truck only to see my windows moving atleast half inch and my back glass flexing around 1.5 inches, as i was steppin back in my truck it made my hair stand up like a hair trick! the lows are so crisp and kick drums and kettle drums are tight and controlled, ive never had a sound quality d…

So, I've finally been able to get my hands on a Mag. I've a 12" Mag claw basket coming to me as we type ( ) My problem is that I can't find any spec's online for her. Does anyone know off hand? Thanks for any help... -Nick
