Subwoofers / Speakers

got an better audio 1600m1 would the 12's handle the power or should I get the 15's gonna run them at 1 ohm

so i have specs of the driver and i was wondering if i got enough specs togeather if a recone from any company would be possible. ok so it says... cd10aw is the mod number 200 oz mag is what it says, but im not sure if its the actual mag weight or the motor structure in general. they weigh about 27 lbs. each. Dual 4 ohm.... but recone impedence is not important 27mm x max with a 3 inch voice coil if they actually are blown and its not my friends hearing i will get some more pics up and measurements but i really loved these subs and the mag is a decent size so scot or nick or anyone who does or has the parts to possible recone these drives please let me know. Thanks in adv…

Mark when will you have some more info on the ixl series stats/price(after summer?) will there be a big jump from the m series to the ixl series? are ya going to sell any car amps?

It's a ten with a small crack in the basket, i'm not sure i haven't received it yet. but for the price i paid i'll use it either way lol.

Wanting to know if the enclosure volume requirements have been determined yet?

I need to know the diameter of the bottom part of a 12" Mag's motor. If all go as planned (which is now my 7th plan), the box is going in a sealed box to fit in hear: http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166973.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166974.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166975.jpg The bottom slopes and I didn't take that into acount in my first few designs. I'm planning something like this (side view): http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/572/179813.jpg And if the diameter of the bottom is more then 4", it will hit the bottom board. And I"ll have to look for another driver.

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…

I've sent him 3 or 4 emails over the past 2.5 weeks and haven't gotten a single reply, its actually getting slightly frustrating as I have a problem I need taken care of.

I know the website recommends box specs at 2 cubes net tuned to 32. However, I think that the literature I received with the sub said 2.3 cubes net tuned at 30. I am sure that either will work. This will be my first ported box (don't worry, I am not building it myself) and I admittedly don't know any more than what I have read. Anyway, my question is, which way should I go with this -- 32 or 30? If it helps, I am more into sq than spl. (And would it even make that much of a difference?)

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 brought my decision down to 3 subs...maybe 4 i want 1 15...but was looking at the Mach 5 MAW15's Alpine Type R-15(vented...4cu ft. 30hz) Kicker CVX-15(vented...4cu ft. 30hz) FI SSD-15(vented...4cu ft. 30hz) maybe SSA ICON 15(vented...4cu ft. 30hz) or 2...Maw-15's(sealed...3.5 cu ft.) I want LSQ...i want the lows to be smooth... Often times...budget subs bottom out and have hard bass...not smooth...so wat is everyone's opinion?

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...um&album=13 That's a 7" Goldwood for comparison.

when would u say this is coming out and how much do u think its gunna cost? any stats on it? i dont wana wait 2 long 2 buy my subs.. right now im gunna get 2 maw-15's.. so depending on when and how much these are i might get them instead..

to make a long story short i've been bassless for the past week or so so it's forced me to pay close attention to my mids & tweets which today revieled a pleasant surprise remember no subs this is just door speakers I changed the balance on the HU to full left and i noticed the bass response was alot tighter then when i balanced out left and right the same happend when i put the balance to full right, the bass was much tighter then when the balance was even so i swapped the positive and negative speaker wire on the right channel of my amp and BOOM the bass was deep and clear even when the balance was even now i'm almost positive that i followed positive and negative …

Somehow i just discovered that the tweets are blown in my door speakers. Right now i have american bass SQ coaxials in there and i was thinking about going with their component line. The closest i have found to match the components that AB has are the pro series sm16-90 from soundstream. I have the amp to power them but wanted to know how they would sound in my doors, i have plenty of highs and bass to compliment more mids.

Would this work? I know the rms is only 250 rms. The box is tuned to 35 hz (slot ports) and is 2 cuft before displacement. I remember seeing a thread saying the MAW's could take a little more then their rms, but would 600 watts be pushing it? I found a guy selling a pair for $35 each , $87 total shipped to me. I have been wanting to get a pair of MAW's since M5 showed up on the forums, I think I am going to go ahead and buy them and just go easy on the gain. What say you guys, Mark, feel free to leave your expert input

Who do you think makes the best component speakers for under $800 (maybe up to $1k if I have to) and where can you get them. I've been looking at making a set using CDT drivers which would be the ES-06 with the braxial tweet along with the upstage kit that has the DRT-26 tweet. I'm sure there must be many different brands to choose from but I haven't really been keeping up with car audio. Some brands I've also heard of and are considering are Focal, Hertz (no idea who sells these), Morel, and Boston Acoustics. I need a 6.5" set to go in the doors of my 350Z. I was planning on using Zed Audio's The Deuce (is this a good amp?) with BB upgrade to power the components. …

Looking towards the Audioque SD2.5's.. 2 subs that will be a very loud daily driver/competition Street B quality off an ED 9.1 1350-1500watts @1ohm Any other suggestions? looking for $350 or less

Hey guys, I have a dilemna. I have the room to fit any size sub, but i don't really know the pro and cons of each size. The amp is either going to be 1500d or a alpine 1000 watt. The 8 inch subs will either be rl-i 8's or RE 8's. The enclosure is going to be an infinite baffle downfiring kinda like this: *pic of shimajer on e46fanatics (hope he doesn't mind) Thanks.

Alright guys need some help i have 2 sets of subs i have 2 12 inch MTX 9500s and Two 12 inch FI BTLs i was wondering which set i should put in my car with the two SAZ 3000ds. Im wants SPL and SQ but preping for competition just wanting to see opinions thanks!

One of my Vifa's quit playing last night. Not blown, but was cutting in/out. Wiring is fine. I had this problem with one right out of the box. If you wiggle the speaker lead it'll come back on. I'm actually using this as an excuse to try a new set of tweets I run 2 AA poly mids per door and I'm very happy with them and the Vifa's seemed to compliment them well. I'm no audio snob obviously and not looking for THE best there is. I'd just like to try something a little brighter as I found the Vifa's to be rather laid back, which was fine for most music, but on most rock, the cymbals were very quiet/muted. I don't want "in your face" tweets either, just a step or 2 above w…

They do a good job, but I gotta listen to them for longer tommorrow before I can say anything further, besides that the midbass on these things is GOOD

Where can I buy these Mach Audio MLI6.5? Not in the SSA store right only from the mach5audio.com website? I am also going to get some seas tweeter. I have an eclipse ea4000 so the woofers will be getting 75rms each and so will the tweeters. My headunit is a sony cd700 or whatever with graphic equalizer etc.... can I go active with it? Just with the headunit? This is my dumb idea. Cross everything over at 75hz and then play the woofers and mids, but obviously that isn't right? Anybody give me a hand or point me in the right direction if I'm doing this right? -Andres

i got to thinking today and was wondering how this would work out.... Lets say you have a driver that is rated at 1000 rms watts, so you give it 1000 rms at 4 ohms and no problems. Now you get an amp that does 1000rms at 1 ohm is it the same to the driver???? I was just wondering if the BL of the sub would come into play or if 1000 is 1000 no matter what. Just wondering how it all would be effected. Thanks, Brock

Currently deciding between an 18" Bl or an 18" RL-P.. I am basically looking for just a loud daily driver that will pound the lows. I have 1500 watts on hand to power them.. What could I expect from each sub, and how do they compare?
