Subwoofers / Speakers

Hello Now I have two kicker CVX's In a 4 ft box that is 1 foot at the bottom and 6 inches across at he top and is one foot tall. Now how do i find out what it is tuned at ? Also i keey hearing a Small Buzzing like vibration comming from the box. I Think it's the sub it self I just bought these subs and are new. This isnt the driver is it ? i mean i dont think it's coming from the capacitor or the amp that are screw down to the box. But it might be Or Do kicker subs just make this sound ? My CVR's did the same thing but it was the Driver side sub. Now the sound comes from the passanger side. I currently have my gain on my kicker 750.1 set so if you are looking at the su…

So after having my sub for 3 weeks the suspension is gone on it . It is a DC Audio Level 3, i had it in a 3.4ft^3 box tuned to 32HZ running less than rated clean power to it (used a DD1). It never over heated to the point I could smell the coil but today it started bottoming out and i took it out of the box and could bottom it out with one finger. Did i do something wrong or was this a manufacturer error?

I BAUGHT THIS FI 18" SUB, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE ALL I KNEW WAS BTL AND BL AND I FIGURED I BAUGHT THE BL BUT AFTER LOOKIN THRU TOPICS OF GETTING IDEAS FOR MY BOX I WAS GUNA BUILD, I RAN INTO THE OTHER SUBS SSD Q BTL BL AND ETC, CAN ANY ONE GIVE ME ANY INFO ON HOW TO FIND OUT WUT SUB I HAVE PLEASE AND THANK U.

For the longest time I ran my SPL15 inverted due to my box being just under 4 cubic feet net. I also made sure to reverse the polarity on my pioneer HU when I ran inverted . A few days ago I got bored and decided to mount the sub in the "normal" non-inverted fashion. HU sub polarity setting was set back to normal rather than reversed. The sub sounds much louder now and low end reproduction is much more powerful. I thought by putting the motor in the box would decrease net volume therefore raising the tuning a bit. Doing so seems to have had the opposite effect. Box is tuned to 37ish with sub mounted inverted. Can anybody explain why this happened?

kinda downgrading, or just changing rather from a Punch 5002 feeding 2 Punch stage1 12" i wanna get one sub probably in a sealed box to be fed by the 5002 im looking for sq over spl, so like a more sq side LSQ sub is what im looking for. preferably <$200. the p5002 amp can do 500Wx1 @4-ohm bridged, basically 4 ohm dvc sub right? or am i wrong im not quite sure how the grand spectrum of products are. in my nubness, i imagine rf and jl at the expensive and prety good quality end? i'd like a sub thats quality first rather than value. how do alpine kicker jl compare? please feel free to "rip me a new one" cuz im really just a nub at this stuff. wondering about boxes too. …

I am currently running 2 of the Soundqubed HDS 215's in the backseat of my mustang convertible. Do I like them? Yeah, but the problem is the box takes up my entire back seat and is way to small for those subs and tuned too high. I am missing a lot of low notes and I believe lots of output. I want to sell them and get a new box for a single 15. I am keeping the Hifonics 1700.1 but I need a sub to go in the box. I am looking at this box (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321813323806?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82) at 3.5 cubes total tuned at 32hz. (I can also reverse mount the sub for extra airspace) But I need a good sub to go in it, but I don't want to spend more tha…

Hi. I havn't been on here in a while. I just gt my system all hooked up and everything sounds good. I just had one more question; What kind of speakser would fit my front door speakers for a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT? I would like Kicker front speakers with built in tweeters, but I am not sure as to what size would fit my car. If someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

whats up ssa, alright so i see the new zcon line is going into production soon . Right now im running a 12" bl on a aq2200 @ 2ohms. Im thinking of upgrading to something with a more ouput and more sound quality because the bl's just dont have that warm deep solid sound that im looking for. Also honestly it just doesnt get loud enough for me. So i see the new zcons and there looking pretty damn good and from what little iv read about them they are sounding like something iv been looking for for a while. So my question to you knowledgable people is do you think with that 2250 watts will it get louder then the 12" bl, i know its not a spl speaker and thats fine but its gotta…

Will the Xcon sound better?

Looks like I desoldered a tinsel lead from my BTL...on accident. It looks like it's too short...I resoldered it already but I can't turn it up loud or I get a scraping from (guessing) the lead being too short causing the cone/coil to rock. Can I just desolder the lead from the landing, resolder a piece of 12ga stranded wire to the landing and crimp the lead to that? Or should I order 5 meters of tinsel from an online vendor and try to desolder the lead from a difficult spot near the cone and try to do it "right"? Thoughts? Thanks.

If the human ear is unable to detect the direction ot true mid bass (below 250 hz), why not run a single 8" woofer in the rear deck of my challenger to compliment the 6 1/2' component set up front and 12" sub in the trunk? I bought a 5 channel Boston GTA amp super cheap and could car less about rear fill, but would like better mid bass response. Please tell me why I'm crazy. p.s.There is no way in hell my wife would ever let me chop up the doors to put a pair of 8"s there, and I am not running active.

Is it possible to tune a box low enough to protect the sub from the damaging fqs? My amp is an older JBL 1200.1 with no built in SSF. I was looking at either an icon 10 or 12. Main problem is I listen to mostly deep bass rap and I don't want to hurt the sub.

I know you guys will recommend going full size... I have an older Toyota Landcruiser FJ60 and want some good bass without sacrificing storage/dog toting ability. I am looking at one or two enclosures in the rear quarter panels (out of sight and paw proof). I was thinking 10" or 12" subs (likely two - one ea side). Powered by a single Alpine PDX-1.600 The JL 13.5" won't fit. Pioneer 1201's should, otherwise not sure what you guys would recommend getting. total depth (not counting what hte enclosure will use up is about 5.5". Thanks for helping me find something!

So why is this forum host of two different brands did the creator of one company buy out the other one or something? The subs look almost the same.

well i did it 5 minutes ago... $350 sent to SI for my 15" and i couldnt be happier (even though i've never seen or heard any D2). im getting prepared to be blown away. man i gotta sit down... anyone else crack yet?

I'm building a 99 2dr Tahoe with 4 DC level 6 18's with 20k watts going to them, and I need some suggestions on the mids and highs. I have an Eclipse 7200 mkII head unit and an Audision bit one laying around that I will be using. I lalso have a DD C2 and an Alpine pdx 150.4 that are not being used that i can use or I might just buy new amps. I need a front stage that will keep up with the bass and not sound horrible. Thanks

I'm trying to figure out what to get for a good sound system in my Escalade. I was thinking about getting 2 12inch cv stroker's,(any opinion on these). for the doors I was thinking about a boston acoustics components 6 1/2's not sure about a deck, back door speakers, and amps for speakers and the subwoofers. Please help. Speakers pairs not more than 300 bucks subs not more than 300 bucks a piece amps not sure imagine they'll be at least 500 but I want to keep it around 3500 dollars give me your ideas with install so.

Well, This Might Determine The Choice For My Dad's Truck. If Anyone Can Inform Me If The AA Havoc Has The Sandwiched Tinsel Leads Also, That'd Be Great.

hi, im new to this site. it looks like there are some pretty smart people on here. i am looking for some unbiased advice. so here's my question, i have decided to go with one 12", but i can't decide which sub to go with, the Assassin 12 or the 13Kv.2. any suggestions? i can still get the Assassin for $75 while it is on sale or i can get the 13Kv.2 for $95 by going thru ICIX, there is a deal going on there. i plan on keeping the box sealed for now, about 1 ft^3. i have 400 watts to give it. is the Assassin single voice coil or dual voice coil?? wanting some kick you in the nuts low end (for the amount of power i have), i want it to hit every note in a metallica song and i …

wondering because I dont know anyone outside of the team that is running them

Okay first off how much does the 12" weigh? It is going into a sportscar so the individual is trying to minimize the weight. Is the SI 12" able to perform well with 600rms? Does anyone know the weight of the OV2, kv2, SX, lethal injection subs? If this is a really heavy sub does anyone know a company that makes light subs that have great sq 1st and get loud? How does this sub compare SQ wise with the ov2 (since it's not out yet lets say the kv2 ED audio), Incriminator audio lethal injection, SX RE audio? We also want to mimize the space taken in the car so we plan on using a small sealed box.

In general what would be louder between 2 fully loaded 18" Fi BL's, 1 18" fully loaded BTL N3, or 1 18" AA Smd woofer. Will be powered to Hifonics HFI3000d. Already got the amp. If I get 2 subs the box will be 13cuft after displacements double baffled and braced and tuned to 32hz. or with a 1 sub setup it will be 7.5cuft after displacements double baffled and braced and tuned to 32hz. I mainly care about LOUDNESS (No SQ) such as db reads etc. at least 149-152db. Setup will be going into 1996 Chevy Tahoe. Looking for a good hard hitting daily driver. Dont wanna spend more than 850 for subwoofers. "Hope This Helps" P.S. Im also interested in DC Lvl 5's and RD Audio Heavywe…
