Subwoofers / Speakers

I've got about 4.5 cubes gross to work with sealed for 3 10s. I have 500w rms per sub. I want it to get loud and also pick up the lows exceptionally well for a sealed box. Would like to keep it around $150 per driver. Subs considered: Mach5 ixl Dayton mkIII Audiopulse epic

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...

Parts Express carries Morel? For a decent price too!!! http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&D...id=46&rak=morel

Long story short i ended up wiring my Sundown 1000 watt amp positive positive(instead of negative) to my fi q postive negative wires. Sub only sounds good on lows(like 40 and below) anything else and it just sounds like garbage. My question is since this counts as user damage is it worth getting it repaired by the sundown and fi? or if you guys have any suggestions on anything.......because im guessing either of the 2 can be damaged. PS the thing that sucks the hardest about all this is i just purchased and installed my rainbow 265's and now that it was finally complete other than dynamat HALP

IM tired of my crappy computer set up, im thinking of building my own as i colect pocket change, budget will probably be ~$50 for speaks and tweets and ill probably do one 8" or even a 6.5 for the sub. Any ideas? ive been skimming through partsexpress but i dont knwo what's worth it and what isnt.

does anyone know where i can get drawings with dimensions of custom boxes for 2 15" nightshades?

is it getting closer to the time?? just checking to see if there has been any recent development. getting anxious but patient. Also any box recommendations yet for this killa. thanks

I have a fi bl 18 I was wondering if the btl 18 with the ufo style magnet is worth selling my bl and getting the btl?

I don't really have to much time to build another box right now so I have two options. 1.95 cubic feet after displacement tuned to 30hz or 1.88 cubic feet after displacement tuned to 32hz. Single 12 with an alpine mrp650 on it.

need some help as the website is a little scarce on details I have 1200watts (600x2 actually), and im thinking of two si d2's sealed in 1 cu ft each good idea or no? #2 for those that have one can yo do me a favor a)whats the mounting depth b)overall diameter c)OVERALL depth (from magnet to surround trying to see if I can fit two of these or not thx

Right now I have a RL-p12 powered by a JBL BP1200.1 in a 1.35 cube sealed box. I want to build a ported box just because I never have before and I'm ready for a change. I have a max of about 2 cubes to work with. Can anyone describe the difference in sound between a higher and lower tuned frequency? I'm a bit of a bass head that listens to a lot of really fast bass (metal w/ double bass, punk) and I love feeling the thud into my back every time the bass pedal hits. What frequency should I shoot for, or perhaps there's more to the equation that I should look at?

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

Polk Audio SR6500 <<< clicky some sick components at not to rough a price for the segment they are in

My birthday is in July and I'm trying to decide what to do with the money I get (yes, I'm 30 years old and still get money ). I do know that I want to upgrade sub/subs, but I'm not quite sure which way to go. Budget will be between $200-$250. Not sure if I could swing $300, but it's a possibility. I've got 600 @ 2 ohms to work with. The main thing is I'd like to keep the box size down as much as possible. I don't want to go over 2 cubes total, and even that's pushing it. So, I'm thinking either 2 8's or 10's in a small sealed box, or a single 10" or 12" ported. I'd love to try a 15" since I've never run one before, but I don't want to choke it down into too small…

right now iv got a ported box that is 2.5 cuft after all displacements tuned to 33hz that im using with my 12" fi bl. do you guys think it would work good with a 12" fi btl if i were to upgrade so i dont have to buy another box. have anyone had any experiece with a btl 12" in a 2.5 cuft box? the site shows the same cutout dimentions and the same rec cuft. So what do you guys think of this desision.

i know everything is install related, but i want to try to get a general consensus i asked this question on another forum as well subs are DC lvl 3 as far as output, im quite sure i would be happy with either setup. my buddy has 2 12" type r's sealed up and they are loud enough for me (but louder still is better) my goal then is to hit as low as possible with these subs (i listen to rap, so the lowest i would need to think about would be like in "put on": ~25hz) i typically set my crossover around 65-70hz, so anything above that im not worried about currently front is stock, but will be upgraded soon; looking at rainbow and hertz right now.... 12's ported, box hopefully e…

Alright, this just might be me being stupid but here it goes. Someone locally has Three SA-12's up for sale and i was kind of curious what your opinions on this was. Iv had no experience with SA-12's at all, and i was only curious if this would be more of an upgrade or a downgrade on my part? Id be keeping the amplifier i have now, an AB 100.1 so ill be running about ~1500wrms. Im thinking if it would be an upgrade in my part ill trade him my BTL for his 3 SA-12's. The main reason I think this would be a good trade is 2 reason: -more cone area with the SA-12's -more motor force with multiple subs So if the QUALITY of the subs is on par... i might try this out. Not s…

i have cdt cl51/4's in the kick and cl61/2's in the doors of a 02 sunfire, i was thinking about changing the 61/2" out for a slim 8" what do you guys think a what would be best to use as a mid bass?

on the right amount of power in a good ported box tuned to around 35hz to 30hz, which sub will produce more spl...yes i know they are both more LOUD SOUND QUALITY oriented, but narrow it down to which one will be louder! jl w7 13 or Elemental designs 13 Av.2 i know the price of the ed is almost half of the W7 but sometimes that falls back on you get what you pay for!

Hello. I am new here and looking for an answer to an easy question. I have a 2002 Civic and I am looking at a Q Logic Custom sub box. First, does anyone have any experience with those units. Second, the volume of the Q Logic enclosure is 0.65 cu. ft. The Fi Q I am looking at calls for 0.2-0.6 cu. ft. of volume, but it has a 0.12 cu. ft. displacement. Does this mean the Q Logic would work? The way I am calculating it is that 0.65-0.12=0.53 cu. ft. volume after installation. Thank you in advance for the help. Nick

What design is better a 4th order ported box or a 4th order passive radiator box with a one to one ratio (passive to active). The radiator seems to have so many more advantages... so why does everyone have ported boxes?? looking for some ideas and opinions on this, might redo my box soon.

Right now i have one 12 inch w6 off an alpine mrd 1005 with the settings set very low. I am thinking about either getting another w6 and running it off that amp or getting a single 12 or 15 inch Q or BL and pushing everything to them with that amp... orrrrr getting 2 12 inch Q's with another Amp. I really cannot decide. Would the 2 w6's have better SQ but less SP then the 2 12 Q's. Any opinions and experiences with these woofers would be great. Thanks

i just got my friend sold on buying a magnum. i was wondering that would hit lower and sound better, a ported 12 incher d2 or sealed 15 inch d2. he wasnts awesome sound quality and wants t hit low well. and hit. the 12 would be ported tuned fairly low, like 20-30 herts i assum

Hi, I currently got a killer deal on two 6x8 speakers (it was the speakers or wait to get paid back...) I was wondering if any of you guys know a nice simple tutorial, or just an easy way to install 6x8's in 6x9 slots. Also, I have stock speakers (pretty sure its non jbl with 6 speakers [06 camry v6 LE]) If I were to replace only two of my stock speakers for now, what would be the best way to go, back, front, etc?

Hey I have a 400wrms x2 amp and I'm picking up a set of Diamond Audio D971 comps. This is a dumb question most likely but the constant rating is 200wrms and the max is 400wrms for the comps. If I throw them on my orion amp pushing 400 wrms into each channel with the gains set low do you guys think they could deal with it? I'd hate to buy another amp. I can run them off of 100wrms each but then I'm not feeding them enough power....its a catch 22. what would you do?
