Subwoofers / Speakers

O.K. I currently have 2 jl 12w6d4 in a slot ported box designed to jl specs and I am thinkin of getting 2 mach5 15's. The jl's are being ran off a 1000/1 and hit well but I kinda want more spl. I'm not totally into spl but listen to a lot of rap/r&b. I have a guy wanting to buy my current setup along with my 300/4 so I will be starting over with sundown amps as well. Vehicle is 07 escape with front/rear consisting of memphis m series comps in front and rear 5x7's. If I run the 15's in a ported box on a sndwn 1000D will I lose a lot of SQ? I listen to some rock/alternative music on occasion. BTW, my HU is a pioneer 7800 and I have a kinetic 800 as a second battery in t…

So ive decided on my new driver set being a seas CA18RNX 7" and the H1189 tweet (27TDFC). with the advice of ///m5, im going to run the CA18 full range and just do a crossover for the H1189 until i can finish my active setup. well after looking at madisound, i came across a prefab xover for the tweet and another driver. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=8232 not wanting to spend an extra 60 bucks on xovers that i wont use very long, i decided to make my own. so far on my list are the 4.7μF SA Range Polypropylene Capacitors, eagle 4 and 20 ohm resistors, and 0.4mH 20AWG Air Core Inductor. im pretty sure theres nothing else i need except a board…

I put the MAW 15 into my basket and everytime i try to pay for the item via paypal or credit card, it will not go through. For the credit card, it says your order failed. For paypal, i try to login and it says click here to retry or return to homepage. Any help as to why this is happening and how i can fix it is greatly appreciated.

Install is temp, just waiting to get a new truck. System is a kicker zx1500.1 pushing the two Mag 15's in a 5.2cf sealed box and a Mtx 2300xw pushing my kicker comps that are in the doors. Deck is a Alpine 9835 and a AC Four.1. Box will be ported when system goes in new box.

I measure my trunk...w/ the spare in it Alot tighter than i expected So 2 12s will fit the bill I was thinking 2 maw12's in a 4 cubic ft. box tuned to 30hz or 28hz then give them bout 400-500 watts a piece...that sound good?

hi, i am thinking of getting 2 12" D1 icons and putting them in a 2.2 F^3 ported enclosure tuned to 33 hz and possably being powered by a Saz 1500d. i am not a basshead by anymeans. and i listen to mostly to rap and i am wondering how loud would they be even the above info(granted that they are sq subs).

when are they going to be a stock item? and what are they going to sell for? aprox?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Very-Rare-Hemp-Acousti...1QQcmdZViewItem i wonder what it can do? LOL

What you guys got cooking? I want to help a buddy of mines make an enclosure for them but we have no specs on them aside that they are made by GS Redline?

i have a 98 blazer and im looking for a really loud daily driver something something over a 145 + thats what im hitting now,so im thinking 2 ssd 15's or 2 btl 12's or 15's,or since i have a btl 18 ordering another and just walling it (oh yea!!!)

I know this subject has been hit several times, I'm looking to do a three way front stage in my wife's altima. I was thinking of doing the Dynaudio Esotec 342 (yes I know that's pretty pricy). I like the configuration of the setup though. 7" woofer 3" midrange and (big) 1" tweet. This will not probably happen for a few months, but I'm doing some research now to know what I'm getting into. Is there anything else out there that may be in the same ball park as the Dynaudio or better for the price. I would greatly appreciate the advice from some of you expierianced SQ guys. Thanks. I will have more question soon.

So I noticed Mach 5's got something in the works with the IXL 8". Was wondering if there's any updates on these?? I'm going to run a quad 8" setup and am down to my final choices of subs; DD 1508 and the RE RE8. I'll highly consider the IXL if it will rival these. ps It's great to see a Canadian company making some waves in the audio world. CHEERS FROM RED DEER!!

ive got a spare MJ 4 ohm laying around and i got to thinking...let throw this into the HT system. ive never messed with ht tho so im starting from the beginning. we have an Arcam reciever amp, and tuner. so my first quetion is...how do i hook everything up? is it ..sub to plate amp, and then using RCA's connect the (reciever or amp?) to the plate amp? and does the plate amp plug into the wall? secondly..what kind of box setup should i be thinking of? what would be ideal? IB or ported...this will be mostly for music and occasionally a movie or 2. probably 98% music 2% movies...if i went ported...what kind of volume and tuning should i aim for? thanks in advance

Yep, we sent our 12" BM prototype to JimJ without ever listening to it. A lot of people would say that's a pretty stupid thing to do. But we have enough confidence in the new BM line from auditioning the 10" model that we jumped out on a limb and send him the driver. Jim has a prototype with a few things fixed vs. the 10" model - mainly the surround color - but not everything is finalized on this prototype. The only big thing left to do is to treat the dust cap for a different finish. But besides the latter, the driver Jim has will perform just like the production drivers will. Jim sent me an email yesterday letting me know he got the driver and will be testing it…

This thread will be the official thread for the new BM series prototypes. When I get back to the office tonight I will post up the T/S's for the 10" version. The 12" version is being built now, and I should have T/S's in a few days (along with the woofer hopefully). I'll post again tonight with the T/S's and then I'll continue to keep this thread updated with all information regarding the new and improved BM series. PS: Chad Hicks has our 10" BM proto and is putting it through its paces right now. I'll post up his thoughts/review when he's done.

subs wont arrive for a couple days and im trying to get my enclosure done before they get here. whats the outside mounting diameter of the level 4 15s? thanks

I went over to mark's house and got to play with his Term Lab. Magic freq was 42hz and i did a 145.7 off a Tone and 143 off music. the van is nothing but rattles though. Box is tuned to low 30's. wasnt able to run everything at full tilt because of voltage loss.

hi, i am getting ready to put in me xxx comps in since i blew the tweeter in my current speakers. ( The newer type r's) i am wondering which amp would you choose if you where only runnning front speakers. Sundown Saz 100.2 and do passive with the came in the box x overs Sundown Saz 100.4 and do active ( the only thing that is turning me away is i want 200 rms @ 2ohm) Kicker Sx700.4 and do active ( see above for the turn off) Kicker sx900.4 and do active ( the only bad thing is the Price) Eclipse XA4000 and do active( 2 thing wrong not sure if the x over can run a 2 way active and the 175 watts) and if it makes any difference i am getting a pioneer 980bt for the headunit…

ok i got an l7 10" and thinking about sending it back and getting a different one, i got to looking at the fi q 12's and i really like them just not sure if they will get loud enough for me, and i was also lookin at the crossfire bmf's any sugegstions on what i should get??

Well, I have had a lot of back and forth with Nick today but it worked out great. He has graciously agreed to donate 10 subs to the Audio Engineering Society at Michigan Technological University for use on a project of ours. We are trying to recreate the new Elemental Designs Dodecasub, but since we are using SI drivers I know it will sound much better . I just wanted to let you guys know that Nick is an awesome guy with awesome products,

So things are happening tomorrow (Saturday August 25). Here's hoping folks can make it out. Club Regent Casino parking lot. Comp starts at noon; registration from 10:00am to noon.

Hello, Can you guys give me some suggestions on some subs that might work for me. I am looking at putting a Zed audio Deuce or possibly a couple of Miniliths into a Civic 4 door and use something other than the Rockford DVCs we have. I am thinking an Icon or Soundsplinter 10 or 12. I have about 2.5cubic feet to work with so that will limit what I do as well. I am comfortable doing slot ported and sealed boxes. I have a second battery and everything done I am just thinking about changing around the sub dept. for something that is more for sound quality but can get loud as well. We listen to most music except country. mostly it is bands like Hatebreed (lots of metal) Tori A…

ummmmmmm ya here ya go. For earth shattering bass you can't beat this custom made 60-inch subwoofer which has the ability to produce SPL levels above 180 dB. This monster has ouput displacement comparable to 160+ ten-inch woofers! More after the jump. "The motor is capable of producing 6,000+ pounds of linear force, which is necessary when considering the very large surface area and displacement volume required to produce high SPL levels."

Hey guys need some help for a box for a Level 4 12". Im going to have 2 Lvl412's ported, giving them about 1200w each. On the DC site they recommend 1.5 cubes for Ported, and 2 cubes for SPL ported. I guess my first question is, is this measurement net or gross? Also, im kinda looking for a daily/spl setup, so would it be alright to go with 1.75 cubes per sub? And another thing i wasn't sure of, whats the recommended port tuning? for SPL or daily? Has anyone had a preference with these subs and has another recommendation? Thanks, Steven

Hello All: This is my first venture into subwoofers and am hoping to build a Mach MAW-15 sub for Home Theater purposes. I have a prefab sealed cabinet with an internal volume of 2.5 cu. ft. I hope to drive it with a Parts Express SA240 or 240 watt plate amp. As the MAW-15 is rated at 500W RMS whereas with only 240w AMP - Is this power be sufficient to push the MAW-15 for Ht purposes. I humbly request your advice if I am on the right track in purchasing this driver. Keep up the gr8 product line! Kudos! Thank You! TSS
