Subwoofers / Speakers

Looking for an SQ sub that gets pretty loud and still clear. I have a Kicker zx1500.1, rated at 1687 RMS at 2 ohms, so that's around 840 RMS at 4. I don't care if it's a a 12 or 15 as long as it fits in my trunk. I like the IDMax but it's too expensive. I really don't want to spend more than 300. I also like the Fi Q 15" but I'm afraid 1687 is too much and 840 is not enough. Any suggestions?

I have a box for my fi btl 12" that is 2.7 cubic feet, and tunned at 34 hertz. . it sounds great best 12 i have evr heard. but i am looking to enetr a comp. soon and was wondering is there was any specs for making an spl box. or better yet some guide lines. like how many hertz should i tune to.

I got curious and wanted too check out the ohm reading on my sub, so i just disconnected the speaker cable from my amp, then put the probes of my dmm on the the positive and negative cables. The dmm says its wired to 1.8-2.0 ohms. Is this normal? or by some mistake do i have a d4 ohm sub? I have a SS RL-p 18 d2, wired in parallel to my sundown saz1000d. thanks!

currently i have a Rockford Fosgate punch 501s amp and i want to find a 12 that will run great with that amp.. my amp specs are Bridged Into A 4-Ohm Load: 500 watts x 1 Per Channel Into A 2-Ohm Load: 250 watts x 2 Per Channel Into A 4-Ohm Load: 125 watts x 2 Any suggestions on a 12" that hits hard and clear?...i was looking at the decon 12" by ssa audio only problem is it only requiers 300wrms 4ohms or the sd-2 series by sundown 500wrms 4ohm but thats for shallower mounting depths and i want something that will slump... im open for any suggestions... i would be up for maybe a 15 if i have room for it. if their are better subs out their for my amp then those let me kno…

We just got our shipment of BM's from Nick today and they look great. Pictures and specs are up on our site and they are ready to ship. http://www.audiojunkies.com/Categories/Bra...reo%20Integrity

hey guys. Trying to find a new set-up here (sub set-up) and am looking around at my sub options! Currently I am running an 18" BL in a 5.5ish box @ 35Hz I think. It is pretty dang loud...but I am starting to go away from SPL based to subs that are able to reproduce the sounds a bit better. I have recently acquired a pair of Adire Koda 6.5 components and am hoping to blend things. The BL would pretty much destroy any midbass that would be output with them and I really wanna do a proper(ish..bear with me guys haha) set-up of an actual "sub" crossed over at 60Hz or so and then hear some real midbass. Here were the subs that I was looking between. Currently I have a JBL amp …

I thought the leads on the XCON were sandwiched? How come mine are not?

planning a sealed box for a 18" rl-p, and i want this thing to be solid. first things first, im gonna resin it. should i do the entire inside, or just the edges? i was thinking mainly the edges to give it a nice tite seal. can i use resin instead of caulk? or should i caulk first, then resin? 2nd, instead of using a 2x baffle, i was thinking about bracing it. i saw this bracing thing from bcae: http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm and was going to stick 2 of those in the box. (dims are 42x12.5x18.75) also maybe add some polyfill. the box + the bracing and displacement is going to be around 4.18 cubic ft w/o the fill thanks in advance

So, iv finally got my subwoofer enclosure finished, and set up in my trunk. After listening to it for a while it was surprisingly accurate, id say even more accurate than my Type X's which are actually supposed to be SQ drivers. Overall super impressed, and obviously it gets nice and loud.

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?

first off I'll just say nice forum.. I've been lurking for a while.. but anyways.. a while ago I bought some used DD DDC6.2 and they didnt come with a manual.. They wouldnt fit in my old car but my new car they should fit no problem but I am a little confused how to hook up the crossover. looking at it there is + IN - (I'm gonna assume that is where I hook the wire from the amp to) the confusing part is how to hook up the outputs 1) W+ 2) 0dB 3) -3dB 4) - just to make it easier Ill say a) woofer + b) woofer - c) tweeter + d) tweeter - the easiest way to explain this will be just to match things up I'm gonna assume 1 goes with a

Using sealed boxes. Would a single FiQ18 in 7 cubes or (2) FiQ15's in 2.6 cubes each hit the deepest?

wanna know everything about it....

Plan is to run one of these in a ported 1.0 box, My amp; Arc Audio 900.6, will put out 550 wrms bridged @ 4 ohms. How much of this power can I safely run to this sub?

Im getting my older SI reconned since its blown. My question is, whats the BEST for a 15" SI sealed? What airspace before displacment would yield best results?

I was looking for a 10 inch sub for my 96 accord, and was interested in the digital design 3510 sub, but have never actually heard it. Im looking for a sub that is slightly more "compact" than my 12s, but still delivers the bass that I crave. Any opinions? pros/cons, etc.? Any suggestions towards another choice will be gladly accepted. Will be running this off of a JBL GTO1201.1 II. Thanks in advance.

Hi i new to the forum and the reason why im posting this is because i cant figure out which sub fit my needs..... I want a sub that has good sound quality so i was looking at the FI Q but i also want a sub that can hit hard as well... this is going in the trunk of a honda civic and im shooting for a size 15 maybe 2 15 but im not sure if 2 can fit in the trunk... also can anybody help me on considering good components...

Going to build a small sealed box with a 12" sub powered with my Sundown SAE1200. More for sound quality than spl. Been looking at these two. SSA DCON 12 and Sundown SA-12. Will the DCON hold up when driven with 600w ? I think it's rated for 300. Anyone have experiance with either of these? It looks like the Icon 12 would be a better match for this amp, but it is priced a bit higher. Let me know your opinion.

So about a month ago I received my new icon. And a recone for my old icon. I plan on going from a single 12 to 2 12s in the process of building an enclosure. Anyhow.. so I did the recone. Dropped it in the Box ran it for about a week to break it in. And it sounds fantastic.. Heaven ran it hard yet. Probably never fed it more than 700 clean unclipped Watts (if that) anyhow it sounds great. So I pulled it out and dropped in the new icon. Breaking it in just like the recone. Sounded great then yesterday I started noticing a "slight" buzzing/scratching sound at a certain bass note at high and low volumes. A specific song would come on, and would have that bass note and I cou…

I drive an Eddie Bauer Explorer and just recently added a 12" Icon and Sundown 1000D to it. It had the Mach Audio system in it already. Well with the added bass, the speakers just can't keep up. They were fine with the factory 8" sub but are too weak now. Here's the thing, since it had the premium sound, I can fit 6x8s in my front and rear doors. I listen to mostly metal and rock with a little bit of rap. I'd say like 80/20 rock vs rap. Should I put 6x8s in the doors for extra midbass or should I just use 6.5s? Also, Ill be staying passive on these as SQ isnt a huge priority. Just trying to get more volume on the treble side.

Alrighty, so I picked myself up a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD a couple weeks ago. It's got navigation and the Boston Acoustics 6 speaker system (which incidentally is not all that bad for factory, but it is still factory...). I plan on keeping the factory headunit. Peripheral makes a line out converter with a harness that connects before the factory amp. So my plans for the rest of the system are as follows: I want to do an active frontstage. I want to use the Sundown 100.4 and use the built in crossovers to begin with and eventually add an outboard crossover (incidentally I wouldn't mind some opinions on a decent active crossover). For woofers I'm going to use Mach5 MLI65's…

is buying a memphis pr12 w/ a box and 100w amp for a 150 a good deal need answers asap

Hey guess i was gonna ask the people who use ssa gcons what their reviews on them are . I was also wondering when you ordered them how long it took for you to get them. Thanks Ford
