Subwoofers / Speakers

First off, I'd like to thank Nick Lemons of Stereo Integrity for giving me the opportunity to demo this driver. Having listened to the previous generation of BM's, I was curious as to what the new ones would do. Just to get it out of the way, I did this review for free, I'm not being given anything...the driver in question's going back to North Carolina as soon as I finish writing this First thoughts: When I received the BM, it was packaged in an almost identical fashion to my e12a.22 - a simple but effective cardboard frame, with the speaker itself wrapped in plastic. No damage was sustained in transit, it arrived perfectly. On first inspection, the biggest cosmetic dif…

How u doing, im from Miami Fl and i have a single cab dodge ram 1500 with 3 15" kicker cvx subwoofer in a sealed box. All powerd by 3 1100 MONOBLOCK MEMPHIS amplifiers. I have 2 kinetic batterys and a 250 amp alternator. I hit around 152.4 db with about 1.8 cubes for each speaker. what setup do u suggest? Maybe going with 2 15" subs like the FI BL and making a ported bot with about 2.5 cubes per speaker? Will a ported box be effective with the little air space i have? basically what speaker will give me the most db's with the set up i have now? here is a pic of my set up. Thanks for the help

I'm trying to come up with a ported box using the http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html, for my MAW-12. I've come up with the following, just wondering if it's right. I've gone to a bunch of other design programmes but they seem to require metric conversions to be made or info I don't see on the specs for the sub. The measurements I've come up with are the following: Using 3/4 MDF, 24X15X15X15, Port 1.5x13.5, with this I come up with a tuned freq of 28.62 which is right around the specs of the MAW-12. Now, the box volume listed is 2.019 feet with this design, is this the net box volume including those 2 extra sheets used to create the port inside t…

Hi folks and Mark, I purchased an MAW-12 earlier this year to build into a home audio set-up for my apartment, to also match with another DIY speaker project I completed this year. I built it in a sealed top-firing configuration with a separation between the driver and the top plate. The bottom is heavily reinforced and the sub now sits on a square cement plate covered with foam window insulation. I did all this in an effort to minimize floor vibrations and to help prevent too many enemies forming against me while I begin the DIY audio thing. I'll post a picture and a link to see the sub with the other components of the system it is matched with. I'd like to say t…

Just tryin to see how close the two are. the Mag will be n a 03 chevy impala in a 2 cubic box tuned to 32 runnin off a sundown 1500d the rf punch hx2's are in a 02 chevy impala in a 3 cubic sealed box runnin off a rf 1501bd Just see if the mag can get as low and loud as the Hx2's?

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

Hey guys..forgive my "noobness" as I am pretty new to car audio. I am checkin out some comp sets and such and am curious about a couple brands. Are Polk or Pioneer Premiums any good? I really have no clue. Thanks

Theres going to be a meet on october 21st and tommyk is bringing his TL. So ill have a chance to meter the MAW-15. I dont remember reading any scores from it, so im curious to see what it will do. Granted, its in a 3 cu. ft. box tuned to 28hz on about 800 watts, in a large car. So im not expecting anything great, but it does the job just fine for me. I know 2 MJ-18's got metered, but has anyone had the 15's metered on a daily setup?

who of the two respone better to frequencies + low , Forgive but my english is bad Nowadays I have 1 btl 18 " and think to buy other one

Whats the deal with the lvl 5 subs? Anyone got any info?

http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=3417 thinking 2 of these sukers in a 3.25 cu ft. box sealed....they are 1.5 reccomended anybody gotem...or heard em...i hear they are pretty darn smooth im not really looking for output

I was wondering if some of you could compare/contrast these subs for me. I'm looking for SQ. I want to go with 12's, and I would probly go w/ 1 Fi Q if I were to take Fi's route. For the TREO's, Im thinking about the 2 12's in the hotbox. Any help? Thanks.

Ok well getting ready to start work on my van and looks like im going to have to make a few slightly changes. The plans were as followed Midbass 60-100hz : Sundown Audio SD-1 10" x4 Mids 100-2500hz : PHL 2002 x2 Mids/Highs 2500hz + : Image Dynamics CD1E Mini x2 Mids/High Amps : Sundown 100.4 x3 (Bridged To Each Driver) Here is the problem, i dont have the space under the dash or anywere to mount my ID horns. I deffintly want to keep the midbass. So what i need is suggests for mids and highs drivers. What im looking for is an extremly loud and clean sound mids ands highs set up to keep up with my wall. Power will be coming from sundown amps. Corey

well just like it says which would I get the most output? By the way I would be useing one of the DP or BTL's or two of the mojo's. the box is approx. 11cf gross power will be atleast 4k. Out of the 3 choices I only have experience with the BTL (with cooling only)and am very pleased but would like more. If there is something else to consider then let me know also with an amp suggestion I have been leaning towards a stetsom. thanks mcbuggin

Ok so installed them today, but it is quiet as hell. Will it get louder as the suspension breaks in? It is a D2 wired for 1 ohm.

ok i was lookin at the atomic extinction level event 24 inch subs and it says that they have the cone area of 3 15 inch subs so if i bought four of them would that sound as though i had 12 15 inch subs. they are 2k rms so i would have them hooked up with that. astro van so plenty of room to utilize. or are they too big. would the cones flex and through off the linearety causing the cone to flex and unwated heat and distortion to set in. or would i just be better off to go with the four fully loaded btl 18's with around 3k rms per sub. i like rap so thats what will be played through them and pretty often. please give me some feedback after viewing this thread cause i need …

Hello all A very good day today despite not hitting the 150dB @ 20Hz :thumbsdown: Here`s a few photos of my car again. Look!! I actually managed to win a U.K. Finals (I remembered to turn my amps on ) Extreme 3-4 catagory My scores: 152.3dB @ 33Hz :earmuffs: 149.0dB @ 20Hz :earmuffs: (Apparently the dB score drops on grass) Huge drop though But I`m very happy with my scores considering I`m running on half power One thing I have to say is that I will not be competing in Bass Race anymore because I have no chance of getting anywhere. WHY??? Because there are no tunes (that I know off) that peak @ 33Hz for long periods of time But I`m happy tryin…

Im tryin to see how come the mag will be to 2 12" pioneer ts w3000spl's. the mag will b in a 2 cubic box tuned to 32 running off a sundown saz1500d the pioneers are in a jeep cherokee in a 3.5 cubic box tuned to 36 running off a crunch 1500 Just tryin to see if the mag will be able to compare to the poneers. Which ones would get louder and lower and better sq?

18 dd9500 fully loaded 18 atomic apxx 18 fi btl fully loaded 18 tc lms ultra or possibly the 18 dd z series what would pound the loudest daily with good deep lows and handle a lot of power too

Well, I currently have two TC-7's being pushed by a RF 1000-1db. They are in a ported box, which I don't know the tuning of, but each chamber (to rec. specs) has a 13'' long 3'' wide precision port. I am thinking about getting a single Fi, so I can retain loudness, but gain quality. But then again, do you think I would be best off sealing my subs? I listen to mainly rap, but I want more quality then I currently have. I drive a 2002 honda civic si hatchback, so it is a TINY car, and gets loud easy.

I thought I`d put up some scores from different sub set ups which I have tested in my standard 2.5 Cu.ft. box - 4" Aeroport tuning to 27Hz with 1x Directed 1100d amp. Here goes: Stereo Integrity Baby Magnum 12" in ISO: 1ohm Load / 1100wrms Peak= 137.0dB @ 29Hz 40Hz= 134.7dB 33Hz= 135.6dB 25Hz= 136.7dB 20Hz= 133.7dB 10Hz= 127.3dB Total ((((Propper Droppers)))) Score = 134.1dB JBL Isobaric: 2ohm load / 700wrms Peak= 134.8dB @ 33Hz 40Hz= 133.3dB 33Hz= 134.8dB 25Hz= 133.8dB 20Hz= 134.0dB 10Hz= 126.7dB Total ((((Propper Droppers)))) Score = 132.9dB Baby Magnum 12" DVC: 2ohm / 700wrms Peak= 136.9dB @ 46Hz 40Hz= 133.9dB 33Hz= 132.8dB 25Hz= 131.6dB 20Hz= 133.0dB 10Hz= 124.9dB To…

So, a friend of mine just got two JL 12W7's...sexy lookin subs. Before he kills my system I am curious, how do these subs stand up. Are they very good subs....SPL, SQ, etc. Tryin to find out before he puts me to far to shame, lol.

In a slightl;y better enclosure than the last. Last enclosure was the fibergalss one I built which was 1.9 cu ft tuned to around 33hz using a 4" aeroport. This is a 2.1@31hz enclosure I had fisher customs makle up for me. More port area since space wasn't as critical as the GTO, plus I will have the seat down from time to time, so minimal port noise was wanted. Thje area is 31 sq inches. This setup sounds so much better than the GTO did. A lot louder as well. Most of that has to do with the 2 different vehicles though. The GTO just isn't advantageous to a sub in the trunk. The cavalier is a bit more accommodating, just a chittier car lol. Here is a few short clips. I got…

I have a rockford amp and M5 15" sub how do I need to wire it up?

anybody have any experience with these woofers?i seen where a guy hit a 153 with 3 db drive 15s and 2400 watt am,and i know its all about install,im really wanting to do 4 15's, and around 4,000 watts,i know the db drive will hold around 1200+ and the ssd holds about 1,000,its going in a blazer behind the rear seats, im looking for something to do a 148-150 on music and something that moves alot of air
