Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys, I just bought Kenwood subs (Kenwood Kac-9105d and 2 kfc-w3012 subs) from www.CarAudioGiants.com and want to get feedback regarding Kenwood subs. Does anyone have any? If so, how long have they lasted you? Thanks.

I'm currently concidering the 327's when they come out, and looking at the specs of the 307's they probably can take a lot of power. Would it be adwiseable to use bi-amping, and will there be a possibility to get crossovers made for the tweeters and midrange separately? I noticed that the SEAS Lotus Reference kit has this as an option, and wonder how you guys at SI would look at this. In home audio bi-amping definitely makes a difference, so it might apply here as well.

Gotta 92 deville and Im just trying to get the best bang for my buck. The seats dont fold down at all and it has that big ass metal piece blocking most all of the sound from getn into the cabin. So Im looking for a sub that gets loud and is able to take them lows. Im most likely going to have it port tuned at 32-34 hz.. Im leaning towards a fully loaded 12" FI Q, But Ive been looking at the 12 IA LI's also, They seem to get really loud and take the lows... Or possibly a SA 12? Whats ur opinion?

I'm looking for a good sub for SPL comp. It's going to be in a 08 tC. I was thinking about getting a DD Z-series. Does anyone have experince with them?

Which one of these two options is best and why? 1. 2.

SA-15's Rated at 600watts RMS, I'm trying to decide what amp I should get to power two of these babies up looking for a budget friendly but not low quality amp.. Preferably under 200 dollars

I am considering selling my Icon 15 and getting an audioque hdc3 15. Before I make a decision I would like to know if anyone knows the suggested airspace and tuning on the AQ's. My current box is 3.5 cu ft. tuned to 30 hz. Will that work for the aq also? Also I would like to hear some opinions on trading the subs out because I have gotten very curious about aq after I got m aq 1200.1 and saw the quality of their products. My main goal is to be loud daily.

i wanted to know if a 3 1/4 bullet tweeter would fit in a 3 1/2 speaker opening in my dash. right now i have infinity 3 1/2 coaxial speakers and i thought the bullet tweeters might be louder. i was looking at the boss audio 3" and a few others . the depth of the openiing is 2 inches

I have a dc level 4 12 with level 5 dual 1.4 coils and a xl 12 with dual 2 coils. I am wandering if i can wire them together and have them in the same box? If so what would the ohm load be when wired together?

ok, so im going to need new speakers... if i have $250 right now, what do i do? i want to upgrade the fronts first, but i need to do the rears, then amp them... i dont like the idea of no rears and what speakers for rear? 6x9s http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...p;idproduct=236 for front, what for rear to match? and then amp?

I'm looking at getting one of these. Is there much difference between the V2 and V3?

Could 2 stock 15 Fi BLs handle a Sundown sax 3000?

Hey guys. Just saw this forum. I'm buying a 15" SI MAG D2 in a month or so. I want to design a box asap so that I can drop the sub right in as soon as I buy it. I'm going SQ over all but I want it loud too. Just not at the expense of SQ. I have my box designed pretty much. I was going to go 3 cu ft. And here is my question: for a sealed enclosure with a min of 1000wrms and maybe up to 1200wrms in a TRUNK of a large car (mercury grand marquis) what would be the best size box in your opinion? 2.6 cu. ft? 2.8 cu. ft? LESS, or more? Or am I on the right track with a 3 cu ft enclosure? I listen to rock mostly but rap as well. a lot of classic rock all the way up to death metal…

hello, thanks for any help in advance. i'm looking at ordering my first mach 5 subs ( ) and just wanted some recommendations as to which ones' i should get and bopx sizes. right now i have a crappy 15" kicker cvr in a ported box tuned to 35-36hz. and i want something to keep up with it in spl but also have better sq (which shouldn't be hard since kicker sucks, but it was damn near free). i have 650wrms to play with so i'm thinking about 2 maw 12's. how would they compare sealed or ported? if sealed works (kinda hoping it does, miss the lows my box now doesn't get) what would be good size, was thinking about 2.5cuft after displacements? or ported, but i'd want it tuned lo…

This is my first post here so wassup. I'm tryin to upgrade from my Kicker CompVR to a MagnumD2 12" but i need to know whether or not they come in or can you order one in dual4 ohm. I have a Kicker 600.1 amp and i wanna use the whole 600w on the D2. If someone could help me out. Thanx.

Hi, I am looking to get 2 new LSQ subs for my boat. I was planning on using the Fi Q 12's, since I have used them in my last boat and loved them, but since they are not available was wondering what you would recommend. I have read good things about the ssa icon, but was wondering how it would compare in terms of output and sound quality. I am using two individual .80 cubic foot boxes with some polyfill and already cut the holes for a 12. The amp I have wired in is a Cadence zrs 8000d which is able to put out 2000 watts rms at 1 ohm. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've dwindled my options down to the SSA GCON 15 and the FI SSD 15 (based on price and the power I plan to use.) So i'm going with 2.5cu sealed for either sub on 500-750watts. I'm just need some options on which would be the better overall sub for my application. Or if the difference won't be that noticeable.

I have a Fi 15inch ssd d-2 on it's way. I have a sundown1200d, at 1ohm can i send 600watts to the sub?i have 4ga and a stock alt and battery.this is why i wana send unded 800watts.i had a audio q2.5 and at 580 watts iwas seeing volt drops at 12.9.

has anyone had any experience with a LV3 12 dvc4? if so what results did you have? and what type of boxes do they work well in? i thinking of going 2 12's for next setup and are considering these. thanks for any information, Dustin.

As the topic says. Does anybody have first experience with these 6.5" component sets? How do they sound? Are the highs edgy? Is the midbass there? With my accommodation price...they're definitely one of my first picks. Any other recommendations around the, oh let's say, $130 price range? For power I'm looking at around 100 watts RMS...most likely a SAX 100.2 (or SAE 50.4 bridged? ). I'm not sure I can justify the extra costs of going active; I'm not terribly picky about the lack of adjustability.

Going through a local shop today they had these setting in the back with a generic label on them. The lady said it had some off brand subs in there.. with no info on them any idea? I know sundown I pulled both out the coils look good.. any idea which sun down? these were the best pics I could get also it was 170 for the pair.

I`m a newbie here at this forum so be paitent with me...I need to know what size port to use on a 12 mag tuned to 32 hz? how do i convert square inches into w x h x l for the port i will be using a slot port Nick said that i would need a least 24 square inches...correct me if i`m wrong but would`nt 24 sq inches be like 12" x12" or 12^2?

So a buddy of mine gave me his 2 L7's and an amp (that shall not be named as I fear I would be stoned to death). He told me the l7's didn't work but I took them anyways. You can see where there was a little melting going on. For the first sub I tested each voice coil and only one coil worked. The coil that didn't work is pictured above I haven't tested the second sub but the only thing noticably wrong is one of the wires is disconnected on the positive voice coil, which I will solder(sp?) back together. Both the subs move freely by hand and I really don't see anything visibly wrong (except for what is mentioned above). I have never owned a sub so I really don't know wha…
