    I know I know... This is the 2nd time i've asked this question, but noone seems to read old forums so I figured i'd ask again and see if anyone can help me out.... So has Anyone ever heard the Diamond Audio D3 12's? i'm switching from 3 memphis power reference 12's in a ported box (40 htz) in an extended cab truck to 2 D3 12's in a ported box (34) in a trunk of a grand prix... can anyone give me a heads up as to the loudness difference btw the 2? i'm hoping to get at least just as much sound out of the d3's as the pr's...

    Last I had the system installed I was running my 15" Ti in a 4.3^3ft enclosure tuned to ~24Hz with roughly 750w on it. Loved the way it performed but I sold the Viper, partly because I needed money and parly because I plan on keeping the Ti and didnt like not using the amp to its full extent. Im thinkin around 1.2-1.5kW in something around 3^3ft tuned to a fairly low frequency. What do yall think for a daily set-up? I dont have any programs any more, they are all on the desktop which is en-route to Norfolk right now so I can't plot the enclosure size and tuning to see how it would work out. I know Denim has a lot of experience with Ti's, anyone else?

    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

    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.

    Hey guys, new to the forum here and i've taken an interest in Mach5 audio. Unfortunately I went to the website to browse around today and it seems like the website is down. I was just wondering if this is only happening to me or is the website really down (Mark did state on the site that he'll be on vacation, maybe that's why )

    I am new to the forum. I am looking at the 12"Magnum. Currently I have a PG t1200.1 and a t500.2 for my front stage. I am considering downgrading to a second 500.2. Would the Magnum do well with only 500 or so watts? Or should I just keep the big amp. I don't really need tons of output, just loud good sounding music. Also, what would the best cu ft be for a box for a single 12" Magnum? I have done some searching but didn't really find an exact answer. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

    I haven't decided between a 12" and a 15" sub. The old phrase "there's no replacement for displacement" keeps coming into my head when I think of getting a twelve. Right now I have a 15" sub, but I think I'd like to save some space. Obviously bigger subs will go down lower and be audible, but in the 30is-100+hz range. Do 15" subs have any advantage over 12" subs. I'd like to find a sub in the ~$200 range give or take. Would you mind recommending me sub for each size or just one. I'd like to know what I'm giving up and gaining by going 12. Obviously I'm gaining space, and giving up some lowend, but will the size affect the musical range? I'm not looking to burp this setup.
