    What is the actual amount of clean power you can send to one of the lvl 2 subs? I know the website states 300 but it even says that number is an under rated suggestion. Also how much do these subs go for? Thanks for the help.

    ok, currently i have an old Orion H2. great sub, but its starting to make popping noises, i don't have a warranty, and i'd rather just buy a new sub than try to fix it. so right now im looking at the 18" Fi BL. anybody have any experience with the BL compared to the Q? any significant difference in SQ or SPL? it will be in a 6-6.5 cu. ft ported with 1200 watts...any decibel estimates? or does anybody have any idea what Fi's new line will be? new to this forum, thanks for any help -Chris

    I just got my cadence zx651 coaxials today in the mail and just finished installing them a little while ago. They look pretty good imo but it doesnt really matter since they are covered by the stcok grill. I would post a nice review but it really is too soon to say much with certainty. I did get to listen to a bit of an eagles live cd and i will say I was pretty impressed with these speakers considering I paid only $45. They arent amazing but they are a nice (cheap) upgrade from stock. The midbass is decent on these and the highs are pretty good too. They appear to be a tiny bit too harsh for me, but I am sure I can fix this with a little tweaking. I am also very tempted …

    Hey guys Im currently waiting for my SI 12" to be delivered from low-hz and Im starting on the box. 1300ish watts from a diamond D5 1200.1 in a 1.25ft^3 pre displacement sealed box.

    Hello: I would greatly appreciate any input on securing or mounting my sub box to the rear trunk of my car (Mazda 3 Sedan). I found some references to using Velcro, L brackets etc., to secure the box to the trunk. Any other ideas or sugestions? Thank You! TSS

  9. There seems to be a lot of misconception about an infinite baffle, so here goes my stab at it with a link to a forum that has a lot of dedication and experience to them. What I have gathered: A baffle is a board a speaker driver is mounted to. When a speaker is not attatched to anything, and the front and rear wave are completely allowed to go around the driver and are not in any way isolated or coupled, it is free air. When it is on a baffle, the sound waves are forced to travel further to intersect. The smaller the baffle, the higher waves (upper frequencies) are no longer cancelling out as the baffle separates them. As we increase the baffle size, the longer it gets, …

    i was told today that DLS stuff really went downhill the last few years. way back when, they had the support of Morel makin thier speaks, and genesis makin the amps. when DLS decided to cut costs a little, they went to china and showed them chinos the design of thier stuff, and the chinese copied it. When Morel and Genesis heard what was goin on, them 2 companies cut thier production for DLS. so like 02-03 on, DLS's equipment isnt really as good quality. Is this true?

    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

    Due to the need for space in the back of my truck, I am forced to downsize. Currently I have 2 fi bl 18's installed. What should I do? [scenario 1] I have 2 fi bl 12's that I purchased along with the 18's and haven't touched them yet. So I would just make a box for them and put it in. [scenario 2] I would remove 1 18 and build a new box [scenario 3] I would sell both of my 18 inch bl's and buy a single 18 inch BTL and use it. Which way would be the loudest? Subs up, port back. Sundown audio 3kd. So the main question would be, will I still get the lows with 12's that I get with 18's? And would an 18 inch BTL be louder than 2 12 inch BL's? Help is appreciated

    I was thinking about putting three 10" subs in my '91 Vette, so I posted an earlier thread asking for suggestions and a few people suggested that I run just one 12" sub instead. Personally, I think three 10's would fit nicely, sound better and get louder than just one 12, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks about it. The maximum dimentions I have to work with are 34" x 12 1/2" x 18". Thanks for any input.

  23. Ok so right now I have 2 12s underneath the seat in my 03 ext cab silverado. It bumps pretty damn good. The amp is a RF power800a2 and the 2 subs are mixed 1 is a 4-5yr old RF punch HX2 and the other is a 1yr old eclipse sw7200. Im wanting to switch out to something else. Ive been looking at the FIs and the REs. Itll have to be a sealed box since Im limited to space. What do you guys suggest I get? Should it be one of those 2 or something else? I do later on planning on upgrading the amp to something that puts out about 600-700w rms to each channel The other 2 subs I was thinking of were maybe some RF T1s or kicker L7s

    I bought and installed a recone kit for a Soundsplinter RL-P18 (TC-9 motor). Things were going well, everything aligned properly, or so I thought. When the cone is depressed with equal pressure on it there is no scratching noise so the coil does appear to be misaligned. When running at low volumes (Low excursion) the sub sounds fairly decent, perhaps just a bit too distorted compared to the sub when i had originally bought it. The issues start when I begin to turn it up (300-500 watts). There seems to be a clipping noise of sorts and it becomes very distracting from the useful output of the sub. I cannot test the DCR because I have no working DMM but using a 9 V battery…

    Those of you that are running HO alts, what do you have and where did you get them? I will be coming into a little bit of money in about a week and think I might get one. I have a 99 Alero with 110 amps stock alt. I have a PG t1200.1 and a PG t500.2 to run. I want to be sure they get all the juice they deserve. Looking for suggestions. If anyone has Iraggi's email I would gladly take that as well. Thanks, Jim
