Subwoofers / Speakers

Are they going to be on the SSA shop and if so when? seen the pre order was up last month and was hoping to get my hands on 1 or 2. Thanks, Aron G. turtles1118

Well the little brown truck came swinging by the past couple days and decided he would do me a favor and drop off some packages for me. I would just like to say thank you Rusty. You are a great person and friend. I also can't forget Maxxsonics, great product and superb support. Im not much for suspense so here we go

So, i've been a dj for about 15 years and i've never had a decent soundsystem in my car, i guess because of all the money i've spent on cds and records. finally, i have the expendable money to throw at a little sub and speaker combo, but i'm going to start with the sub. Anyway, I have an Alpine CDA-9856 in an 03 Acura 3.2 tl type S, I'm not going to compete with this soundsystem, so i was wondering what the recommendations would be for a 10'' sub, and amp for around 500$. COuld my budget be lower for similar performance. Since i have worked a long time with audio equipment, i know that often times 500$ is right at the high level of lower end stuff, thats why i chose th…

Major lurker for a while. Love the site. Posted a few times, but I suck. Anyway. I was considering three subs: FI Q, SSA Icon, and SI Magnum (new one). I have a LOT of rap music, and when I play it I of course I want it to sound nice. However, the rap music I like is mostly bay area rap and older rap (94-98) and the bass lines aren't always the Jeezy, Weezy, whatever the hell loud ones. But when I'm cruising solo, I mostly listen to Soul (60s/70s), R&B (classic and contemporary), and Jazz. Listening to this kind of music doesn't usually ring the subwoofer bell for most people, but can a sub be a valuable asset to these genres? Are there any suggestions on how to …

What kind of watts does this thing need to be PERFECT, i mean reguarless of price i want a perfect sounding Mag D2. I have no idea on wattage, and im probaly going with a HIFONICS amp. So let me know how many wats and at what ohms im going to need if i orded 1 and if i even orded 2 15" mag d2??? THANKS!!!

Hey guys, well i am thinkin of buying a 2006 g35 coupe which has 7.8 cubic ft of trunk space and the system i have is 2x12's in a ported box. dimensions are 1.75ft x 2.75ft x 1.42ft = 6.84 cubic ft. i would have a little under a ft of space left over assuming it would fit at all. i also have to somehow fit 2 sundown amps in there as well...is this the stupidest idea ever or should i take a stab at it??????? if it all works i would have 4000watts pumping through the car.

If the box is small for the sub im using (in cubic ft) will it damage the sub...... Thanks

Ive alwased had a pair of 12w6 and all my friends had 12w6. It is an amazing sub but i want something different. Has anyone have any experience with 12w6v2 and the new magnums? I want to switch to magnums but dont know if its a good choice. What are the pros and cons and reliability?

http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/Two_Mags_1500D.AVI I was testing a used amp going out to a customer and decided it would be fun to take a video. And yes... I beat on the Mags like that every time I test an amp

For those of you that have owned both pair OR heard both pair in a similar environment please comment on which you prefer and why? I am in the market for a nice set for components, and I am being torn between several sets. A new set just came up... Seas. I had never heard of them before, and someone told me they are the best sounding speaker for the money. I was just wondering how they hold up against the Focal 165K2P comps since I have listened to them extensivly. Thanks for the information...

Is this a good idea or no? I have a bandpass box for 2 12's and I just grabbed a couple W-6's Dual 6-Ohm subs and was wondering if anyone had some advice on whether or not to put them in this banpass box. There is a divider in the box so they will both have there own enclosure with 2 ports a piece. I have no idea if these subs can go or are even recommended for this type of box so I know someone on here knows or has tryed this. Anybody who has put W-6's in a Bandpass enclosure please let me know if it sounded ok or what. THanks ANY ADVICE? NEED HELP!!!!

Hey guys im kinda new to the audio world and i am disappointed in the system i got now (two 12's 600rms each) so im looking for somthing a little bigger, I got two Kenwood KAC-9105D amps, i was wondering if i could strap them together for the 1800 rms roughly and get the 15" SSA XCON D2 (1750rms) if the wiring capabilities were there and if not anyother options that would hit n use the amps well -Thanks

Once again this might be a dumb question ... I think I am mostly just confirming what I already know: I am piecing together components for a new system in my VW CC. I plan on getting the Image Dynamic CTX65CS comps rated at 100w RMS - 200w MAX. I was also planning on the new Kenwood 5 channel amp which put out 80w RMS - 150w MAX. Perfect for the ID comps I thought. I recently did learn about the ZED Leviathan 6 channel amp. This amp looks awesome! Although I am on a budget, it looks very worthwhile to spend a bit extra and get this amp over the Kenwood. The Zed amp is rated at 150w RMS. Don't know what the MAX power is on the ZED. BTW anyone know what the bridged power i…

I'm putting in a single maw 10" in a friends CTS. I need some ideas for an amp to push it for under $100. New or used, what cha got?!?!?!

using my kenwood excelon x10d - 600rms at 2ohms (1ohm stable but no power rating). which would be the better sub. i listen to metal, rock, alternative rock. basicly nice accurate bass with some decent kick is the goal. i have polk db 5.25 and 1000(1in tweets) up front and 6x9s in the rear. all off the the sony hu (cdx gt310) the aa would be alittle overpowered and the fi could be run at 1ohm or 2ohm depending on vc options budget it under $200 if anyone has another option that sould be considered.

i was thinking about buying 4 18" nightshades and walling them ... how bad would they sound with techno music and just as a daily driver ... ik 18s are huge and i still want them to sound good and punchy... just throwing ideas around

I got myself a Diablo Audio HF8000.1. i cant decide whether to go 4 AQ copper coil 12s in a proper size box (8.5), or 2 Aluminum coil 18s in a little too small box (10.5). im not looking for numbers, just a daily beater. my goal is to get loud but retain some decent sound while listening to music. pretty much just sounding decent while listening to music but loud.

First im going to do the 6.5's then the Assasin's. Well, Got them installed yesterday. I must say in short, well worth the money. I bought these 6.5" Co-Axil's as a stand in for a pair of Type-R 6.5"-Axil's. I've heard the Type R's before but these where tons cheaper. Deciding that even if they didnt sound as clear my GF wouldnt notice a difference, she just wants music and her mom and I just want to save money (we are cheap, I know). I purchased the pair from flakko. They where about $55, dont know what the real cost/shipping was since they where also purchased with a USamps IS2080. No the USamps wasnt used for the review, yes i know it would have been better but i…

I just saw the Scion XB commercial that shows what looks like lower end Lightning Audio subs attempting to "throw down." What's the deal with commercials and TV shows trying to demonstrate subs "tumping" ... and it's always less-than impressive? If they had a new or old Mag in place they'd have themselves a much better commercial IMO.

ok I wanted to get a rl-i8 but they wont br in stock for a while so i found these AA Assassin Series 8"D4 and I have heard they r almost the same thing so...witch one do you think I should go with.

All right im usually roaming around the caraudio.com forums, but have been browsing here for awhile.... now im hoping someone here can help explain how my subs are blowing cause i cant figure it out. i had 2 dd 1508's hooked up to a Saz1500d, both Svc 4, so 2ohm load ~800wRms, Set the gain using a multimeter to a little bit below the voltage it should have been at for 800w to try to avoid any clipping from the amp. The first sub stopped working without any smell any or any heat even felt on the sub, both of these subs are sealed so there should be no over excursion problems, and they are about 50w under RMS. Now i rebuilt the box for a single 8" since i still had one of t…

I am planning on ordering 4 sundown sa-8 v2 subs for my Silverado crew cab. I am gonna build a box for them that will be 2.2 net cubes, maybe a little more, and with at least 32 square inches of port area. I am wandering if since I am going to be using a crescendo bc2000, should I get 4 dual 4 subs and wire them to .5 ohms or 4 dual 2 and wire them to 1 ohm? I have done the big 3 in 1/0, have a stinger spp1500d, and have all wiring in 1/0. I will also be buying a new alt here soon.

Hey guys, new to the forum. I never heard kicker until my cous got his 2 12' L5s in a 4 cubed dual vented enclosure (not sure what its tuned at). The subs are on one side and the vents on the other. He runs 500 watts and is loud. His system destroys my dual 12' Type Rs in a 3 cubed enclosure with a 5x5x11 square port tuned to 38hz. His system is the loudest I ever heard and is my standard for loudness I guess.... LOL I basically need louder and have the funds to do it just trying to figure out what I want. I have 4 cubes internal space maybe 4.5 if i'm lucky in my hatch. Would 4 cubes be to small for a pair of 12' L7s? How about a single 12 or 15 in 4 cubed box …

iam wondering what you guys think of the 10" Critical Mass LS102 sub. http://criticalmassaudio.com/catalog/index...amp;productId=2 i can pick up 2 of these for $450. do yall think this would be a good deal? how to they sound? iam not looking to win and compatitions, just want some clean sounding bass. would appreaciate any info, good and bad?
