Subwoofers / Speakers

Here is a dumb question, I already have my subs firing towards the trunk lid in my car. My friend has 2 15' Memphis PR's in his S-10 firing down.... I was wondering if I had the room could I put my subs in my back seat firing towards the back glass or could I have them face the floorboard..... The trunk rattles wayyy to much and I was just curious. Wasn't sure if it would work or not. ~MadroX

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.

Alright, well i saw a local add up, and look what i ended up getting! BTL N2 18" Picked it up used for $380. Looked pretty good in shape, im not going to be picky because Fi subs are very few up where i live. The only real 'damage' that i saw was the surround was a little bit frayed, but not too much. Here's a picture of it. Anyways! Im stoked. Somebody local has a Soundstream TDX2000D for sale so im pretty sure ill be picking that up to power this baby. All i need is my box design and i should be murdering my Impala.

I need some opinions on the Death Penalty... I will be running 3k rms to each 15'' DP that im going to order tomorrow and im wondering if anyone here has experience with that sub. I would like to see some opinions on this woofer as nobody around here runs IA... I have only heard 4 21'' wardens before and that was a burp van so yea.... I just got a killer deal on some DP's and know that IA is made here in the USA and not many people here in Missouri run them so I want to be different and insanely loud Everything helps please let me know what you think.

$150 difference in cost of installation on my friend's Focus. Worth it?

Yea i just wanted to no r there going to be sum new kicker cvx's for 2009.. i heard it from sumbody but i just wanted to no was it true or not. n if it is true do u no wen they cum out.. i just wanted to clear that up. thanks

Okay the recommendation for a sealed MAW-15 is 2.2 cubes which from my calculations will result with a Q of 0.548 (roughly) which should yield a tight response. I usually have built enclosures before with a Q of .7 and at the very least built enclosures with Q of around 6. My question is that has anyone tried these with a higher Q than the recommended and what were your results? For example below are some boxes sizes I came up with, no damping fill. Vb of 2.93 cubes = Q of 0.501 Vb of 2.5 cubes = Q of 0.524 Vb of 2.2 cubes = Q of 0.548 Vb of 1.88 cubes = Q of 0.578 Vb of 1.65 cubes = Q of 0.605 Vb of 1.10 cubes = Q of 0.704 Vb of 0.61 cubes = Q of 0.904

I have been up and down on what I wanted to put in my trunk. After some help from others on here I have got a starting point to get some good opinions. If this is still not a good starting point just tell me what I need to do. So I have measured my trunk and found that 34L x 34W x13H would be the largest enclosure I would be able to get in and out of my trunk with out building multiple piece enclosure. So with this new information I have realized that what I wanted to do will not fit in the opening of my trunk. So These are my thoughts of my new direction for my first car audio build. My current sub choices are: -FI BL12d1 x 2 -SA8-v2 x 4 (I would not be against the …

Looking at treo ssi 12 or ssx 12 are either of these decent subs?

If i were to get two 12 ixls and push them with a sundown 1200d, would they be louder than if i were to just purchase one and put the full 1200 watts to it? Also this may be a dumb question but a friend of mine's dad is gonna build me a box, and if i were to make 1 cut out on one side, later on could i add another cut out to the other side? Its gonna be a sealed box but i was wondering if that would mess the frequencies up and stuff. thanks

I have a ssundown sae 1000d. I am looking for a good 15" sub that is more loud and boomy. I have about 6 cubic feet to work with. I dont have a budget but I dont want to go crazy on buying a sub. Id put it in a ported box. Im mainly looking for loud and boomy and not sq. I mainly listen to rap. Any help would be great thanks.

i hate to sound like a major noob but everyone knows how mainstream subs suck ass compared to the i guess u could say "underground" brands like fi. i was wondering when it comes to perfect door speaker quality...whats some kickass midrange speaks?

how much battery do i need for a 1500w rms amp? what about if i bridged two amps so 3000w rms? will one kinetic hc2400 cut it?

Ok well I'm basically new to the whole audio game, I've mostly always been a gearhead but to many speeding tickets and close calls made me realize that I need to find something else thatscar related and enjoyable. Which turned me onto car audio. I just recently got into the car audio game and am ready to upgrade my factory speakers. I already have my sub stage done and my car is already deadened. The factor speaker location places 2 tweeters on the top of the dash aiming att he curve of the windshield.(My guess would be to reflect back at he passangers? :S). Both the front and rear doors and 6.5's In them and my rear deck lid has 2 6x9's. Any speaker suggestions would be …

I am thinking of either doing 2 10's or 1 12. It's going in a trunk car. Honda prelude. Small trunk :/ Space I have for box = Height - 16. Width - 16. Length - 28(side to side) Watt is best for this much space? The 2 10's(witch are going to be 2 xcons) Or 1 12(1 Zcon) If the 2 10 xcons are doable I am going to be powering them with a crescendo bc3500. If the zcon is possible I am also planning on powering it with the crescendo bc3500 (with caution of course don't want to blow it) or would the bc2000D be enough?

i know what i am goin for is the biggest issue but i just want opinions cuz i know what i want, i just want to know what you would pick if the choice was yours

well i did something stupid and i blew my 2 JL's v1 and blew my friend's kicker lol... getting a new sub soon and replacing my friend's sub.. anywho, is there a way i can fix these subs? cuz i dont wanna just throw em away ya know any suggestions would be good

Not my install. I finally made my decision. Stopped draggin' my feet and sent Nick some money. I have a Magnum and a set of 302's on their way soon. I must say that Nick is very patient and awesome to deal with. Of course you guys know this already. Now I just need to get the Magnum hooked up to my PG t1200.1 and the 302's hooked to my PG t500.2. Hopefully this will be a system that I can live with for a long time. Done playing the what do I want in there today game, if you know what I mean.

Other than the space it would take up. Would the sound be different in a box thats 2.5 (per sub) @ 32h vs. 3.5(per sub) @ 32hz?? Same power, same subs, same everything. Thx

Here is the deal, I have roughly about 6 cubic feet I can give for a box. Right now I have 2 audiopipe txx 15's that are rated at 1000rms in a 1.5ft sealed enclosure each ( I know the box is small). I want to run 2 15" subs ported in a 3.0ft box for each but is that enough space? I love low notes and spl pressure so im looking for a new setup. I've talked to Tod at digital designs and he said go with 1 DD 9518g in a 5ft box ported. THis is for a daily sub with good quality but i do want some pressure. Would it be The subwoofer will be in my trunk and not in a wall behind the seat. Another question, does anyone know the power rating on a fully loaded 18" btl? The DD9518g i…

Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade my stock speakers to something that can keep up with my Q. I am looking for a set of components for no more than $300. Best bang for the buck. From your guys' experience, could you inform me of some good brands to look into? The only problem is, is that I would like to mount it into my 5.25" stock location. I have been thinking a lot about Image Dynamics and I have read the reviews here about them. Any advice on what I should choose?

On behalf of the Mach 5 CEO, I would like to wish everyone a safe and merry Christmas. Thanks for coming together and sharing your input, experiences and audio wins. Warmest regards, Mark Rogowski

I have Hertz ESK-165.5 components sets in my car. I have my tweeters on -2 on the crossovers, but when there are "S's" and sometimes "F's" they seem very harsh. Everything else sounds fantastic though. Do you know the frequencies so I can turn them down a little? Or is there another way to fix this? Thanks.

what are good IB subs other than the orions??

if i remember right theses mids were designed more for IB than anything, like being used in the door rather than in a small kick panel? i had them for about a year till i recently got some hsk's. but anyway, mine are sitting around so im making some book shelf or small towers out of them for my friends new place. how big of an enclosure would suite it? or i could just port it then tune somewhere above the fs of the mid. if ported whats a general tuning? never built ported book shelfs so whats the deal?
