Subwoofers / Speakers

Got a friend with an extended cab s-10. He just bought, for a mere 40 dollars, the box(two chambers in one box at about 1.25 cubes a piece), an MTX thunder 6000 12" 8 ohm and a Sony Xplod 1200w 12" 4ohm. He wants SPL and I'm suggesting that he cut out the center divider, build a new front board that has only one 12" hole, and port it. It'd be roughly 2.5 cubes without the displacement of the port and sub. The amp will most likely be something cheap like a Crunch 1200.2. Another problem is that one sub is 8 ohm, and the other 4 ohms...not good?

hey, i've been looking into some different subs and the audioque caught my eye. im not gonna lie im not asking for sq or anything, its my daily driver but im not an sq guy ( dont want it to sound poopy but you know what im saying) i would power them with 3000 ( for both ) and i want it to sound musical, what size box would you recomend? how small would they work in and what tuning would you use, i've read that you should tune the hdc3's higher ( above 35 hz, if i read right ) thank you for helping out a noob -tyler

im going to be starting my box for my brand new 15" XXX tommorow but i want someone to double check my cuts and what not before i cut the wood;) the plan is a little ugly cause i just edited another one a little bit cause im lazy http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/jto...XSealedBox2.bmp thanks guys

hi, i am helping a freind put together a low wattage system( under 1k) and he wants to use jl subs and is thinking of using to 2 13w3v3 off of a sae1000d ( my idea) and it is going in a 240sx and the box will be 2.25 f^3(per sub) tuned to 30hz. and i am wondering what are other people opinion on the 13w3v3 ( i already tried to have him get the w6 but he does not want to spend 300 per sub.) and he is going for LSQ

Here is a company I thought was dead,. http://mypeoplepc.com/members/heather7/sonicfx2/id8.html

Well I am going to purchase a D2 15" monday and I needed some help on building an enclosure. On the website it says that SI reccomends the box be 4 cu/ft vented to 28 hz. I was reading around on the forums people doing like 2.1 cu/ft boxes ported to 30 hz. Whats the deal with this? I love deep deep bass but also like a bit of SQ in the mix. I will be running the sub off a hifonics bx1500. What do you guys recommend I build? Thanks

pretty easy question here but what to know what people think. Want SQ all the way but occassionally to make peoples jaws drop even more want to crank it. One Mag 12 ported(2.2cu ft) or two Mag 12 sealed(1.45cu ft)? Power would be for now 500RMS a piece and later it would be 1200RMS per sub. Just need time to save for another amp. And it would be the new Magnum.

Somewhat on the way, I just ordered it today. It's too bad the lead time is so long. I installed an Icon last summer in a buddies car so I can't wait to see what the Xcon is like. Positive feedback is encouraged I haven't had a sub in my truck for over 2 years!!!

My buddy recently ordered a brand new Fi X 15 without the BP option the other day for me as a gift. I plan on putting it in my girlfriends 2 door blazer. Anybody have experience with the new 750 watt RMS models of these subs? She currently has a VVME 1500 watt amp powering 2 old powerbass M-12's. These amps have clamped around 1400 watts at 1 ohm. I know the X is the entry level from Fi, but it should be able to handle a clean 1400 watts, right? Also, Anyone know the best sub/port combo for a blazer? The current setup is subs and port back. I havent tried anything else in there. It's pretty flat down to about 40hz but below that is a steep drop off. I was thinking sub up …

Has anyone used this woofer yet (PR12D)? How much power can it take? How much power does it need to get moving? What size box did you put it in, etc.? Where can they be found and how much do they cost?

Anyone own or heard the Rainbow CMX 265 Kicks 6.5" components? I'm looking for an upgrade to my Diamonds Hex's and was what everyone thought about these. I can pick up a pair for ~350.

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

Just wanted to here peoples opinions. The guy next door to me has two 10" VX's in a civic, and although I just heard it walking by, seemed to be hitting pretty hard. Anyone have any experience?

hey everyone, I was wondering if its possible to change the positive & negative terminals on a sub? I have JBL GT5s I'm using but it seems the terminals on the subs are very flimsy. Is there any way to change them to something a little more heavy duty or easier and more steardy to use? If so, can someone point me in the right direction on how to go about changing them? Thanks! Andrew

Just curious does anyone have ant info. on the new lvl4 xl. Already a proud owner of 2 lvl4 d1's, an awesome set of subs. How could Rusty do any better? Beside those amazing lvl5's.

I've briefly heard a pair of JL 10W6 in a ported enclosure powered by a jl 1000/1, i liked there sound from what i heard, but i would like more output and possibly more low end bass. My budget is ~$500 for sub(s) and box Sub(s) will be going in my ext cab Silverado, under the rear seat lifted 2". I listen to basically everything, from rap to country. About 70% rap/hip-hop and 30% everything else. My goals are to have a nice sounding setup, with a good amount of output. I'm not looking for amazing SQ, but I don't want a one note wonder either. I've been thinking about going with a single 12, maybe a couple of 10s, or even a few 8s. Whatever I choose will be ran off of my S…

Hello guys, I have a 2003 Chevy S10 Xtreme ext. cab and need help,advice suggestion's on my build. I am doing two FI SP4 V.1 15"s on two 3500 watt amp's.

I have a problem with the box size,port size ,tunning,and what would sound loudest subs and port up,forward or vise versa. Any help is greatly appreciated.Also if anyone has pics of there builds on trucks like this i;d love to see them.

Will have the bench seats all the way up. Am lookin for two tens or two twelvea ported not sure if twelves will fit. Look at fi bl alpine type rs or sa. Please help money isnt an issue

Aight. You'll think I'm stupid but... Why choose the Havoc over the T2? I understand that the Havoc has more power handling and Xmax, But the T2 has a lower Qtx, higher Bl, and I know it can handle a lil over 1000. I'm pretty set on the Havoc cuz I know it will be able to handle more power, but just out of curiosity why choose the Havoc?

OK. heres the delima, (apparrently) im wiring all this shit wrong. i bought 2 l7s 2 ohm and id like to wire it to a audioq 2200d, whats the best way? need help, not discrimination.
