Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys, new to the forum here and i've taken an interest in Mach5 audio. Unfortunately I went to the website to browse around today and it seems like the website is down. I was just wondering if this is only happening to me or is the website really down (Mark did state on the site that he'll be on vacation, maybe that's why )

I am going to be changing my install around here very soon, and I am going to try to invert mount either my 15a or my Mag, it depends how much vision I lose... I am going to try to recess it so it doesn't affect vision, but nonetheless I was wondering if it was possible to get replacement mounting gasket and magnet cover for the Claw Mag. I think everyone agrees these baskets should be shown off, but there is some glue on these 2 items and I feel it would be an injustice to mount such a nice sub with glue and worn plastic on it. Thanks, Jordan

One of my my Hertz HSK-165 tweeters came loose and I slammed it in the door... The housing cracked but it still plays. I was just wondering if there was anything I could replace it with that would work crossed at 3500 on a 12db slope? Replacement tweets are not an option. Don't need a lecture on buying authorized either. I bought these knowing there was no warranty.

I'm currently saving up money for a system but I'm kinda having a hard time deciding on a subs. My options are 4 Mach 5 MJ18's or 4 Fi SSD15's. I want a loud daily driver and I would only do local comps, maybe. They would be put in their recommended ported box and they will be run off of a SAZ-3000d when it comes out. I know the SSD's are going to be more than double the cost of the mj18's but if they're worth it I would get them. What should I do?

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could take the time to "school" me on front stages, running three way set up, passive, active, setting the filters and gains of a front stage amp and other useful information that would help me in this hobby. -- Thanks Dom

im looking for a new sub ive narrowed it down to the Fi SSD 10 w/ copper coil and then AA Arsenal i just cant decide between the two... what im going for is clear and detailed daily driver that can play lows its going to be run on a zapco 500.1 the arsenal matches my power exactly, but i hear the ssd is detailed and can play the lows very well... i just dont know make up my mind for me i would like to have the sub ordered within the upcoming week thnx!

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

running 3 sa 10s in each own 1.2cube ported boxs, i dont like the 80hrzt sounds but at 50it sounds godlike,, i think the 80snds like to many tones tryn to escape at the same time in the sub for the type of music, but on bass boosted music 50hrzt just blows the doors off,sound perfect and clean

i belive this is the first day ive even been in the SI forums where there wasnt any new post or tpoics hehe.

Hey there. I just wanted to request that you put up an archive section on your website where it tells t/s specs and recommended enclosures for older models. I was looking for the specs for the older BM's and found what I was looking for on another site, but it shouldn't eat too much bandwith and it's always nicer to have an official place of reference on the manufacturer's site imho. Thanks for reading. Time to go back to lurking. =)

i hate to sound like a major noob but everyone knows how mainstream subs suck ass compared to the i guess u could say "underground" brands like fi. i was wondering when it comes to perfect door speaker quality...whats some kickass midrange speaks?

im looking at buying two soundstream splx 12's to put in a wall with a t10001bd to each sub. so has anyone use these subs before? i used to have 2 soundstream t415's and i love them.

I have Soundsplinter 15 in a 2.0 cu ft box. I would like to go to SI MAg 12. I would like to have output similar to a 15 so I want to go ported. How much SQ do u really lose. It goes in the trunk of Grand prix. I listen to some rap, but also some metal, reggae, and even techno. If u seal a Magnum do u hinder some of its marvelous attributes. I will be running Old School Orion( Pre DEI disaster) XTR Pro 1000

Alright well I am about to put it in the box and I know I have to drill the surround so I can drill the screws in there. Should I remove that sticker on the bottom of the sub? And are there any specific ways to drill it? Is there anything else I should do when putting it in the box?

Do you guys considered the new 2011 RF P2D4 15" an overall better sub than the RE SRX 15" sub? The SRX has more linear excursion 18mm vs 12. I cannot find the Mms of either sub. The Bl of the SRX is 14 vs unknow. SPL is 87db for the SRX vs 86db. The Sd is 810 vs 894. My concern is that a sub with that much Xmax(RE) could sound louder than a sub with just 12mm but with almost 900 of Sd?? Also, the cone material of the subs: RE is Kraft pulp and the RF is Kevlar. If Kevlar is a bullet proof material is going to be a lil heavy than Kraft pulp, right? Thas why the RF Xmax is only 12mm?? It seems to me that the RF guys put a lot of technology in their new subs. The RE seems to…

So, what's the general opinion on the best sealed enclosure size for a 15" D2? Seems like a lot of people prefer 2.4cf? Also, is that before or after sub displacement, and what is the displacement of a 15" D2? Also, does polyfill do anything besides making the sub think the enclosure is larger? If that's all it does, why not just build the enclosure larger in the first place? Basically all this is the long way of asking, how big should my enclosure be??? Thanks~

i have an Orion H2 12 inch sub its rated at 2000 wrms my amp is rated 1200 wrms i've had it for quite a while now and im starting to get some mechanical noise, sorta sounds like its bottoming out, but i know thats not the case b/c it has like a 4 inch travel, and its def. not moving that far. i took it to the shop i bought i from and the guy promised that the sub was not blown, but said there might be something wrong with the leads. he said he wont send it in to Directed without the original reciept, which after like 7 months i of course dont have. its not that huge of a deal cause i think im gonna get a Fi BL pretty soon, but do you guys have any idea what could possibly…

What do you guy think of the older 4 spoke cast frame xtant x series round subs. Model x412. THey seem well built with a beefy magent, and 4 spoke basket. I can get a pair in mint condition. I was wondering how good they were. How much they ran new. And how they sound and what you think of them.. Also what would you pay for a pair of the 12's in like new shape...

Well a friend of mine passed in a motorcycle accident the other day, and apparently he left me his truck. It's a 1998 Dodge Ram Extended Cab. I'm looking for a cheap subwoofer recommendation to put a pair of in the back. Don't have much money looking to spend around $100 or less per sub and get a pair. I listen to a lot of dubstep and rap so the lows matter. Let me know what anyone has for a recommendation. Don't worry about mounting depth. If the sub is the right price/performance, I'll just take the rears out. It doesn't make much difference to me.

Hey guys. I've been thinking about this for a long time and it's been bugging me. Anyway, I have a 12" Fi Q in a 2.5 Cuft ported box after displacement tuned 32hz getting a solid 1000 watts and, first I have to say it's an amazing sub, but I've been thinking about replacing it with a 15" IXL. What I'm looking for is to keep the excellent sound quality my Q has which I think the IXL would do very well, but also I want to have the ability of getting much louder than my Q if one day I decide to turn it up or demo or something. What I was thinking of was if I got one, I would put it in a 4 Cuft ported box but I don't know if that is too big or not since the recommended size o…

Ok guys thanks for any help ahead of time. I'm lookin into a 18 BTL but would like your suggestions on speakers.

Buyer stated, NIB. Sent me a note along with the sub saying it was used. WTF is this? http://www.woofervids.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1526

Hey just wondering what you guys would set your subsonic and lowpass filters to. I listen to all types of music and would just like to get some more output on songs other than rap. Just wondering where i should go i think i am at like 80 on low pass and 35 on subsonic. Thanks
