    I have set a budget for $150 per sub...... I am really wanting at least 12's. And I need some input on which subs within this price range will have the best bang the buck. I was looking at the Alpine SWR-1222D as a possible candidate. But that was purely just a suggestion for myself. After I figure out what subs I want to get I will try and figure out what amp will push them the best. Thanks in Advance. ~MadroX

  5. The only place i see you can order maw-12's is directly from mach 5 audio, which is based in canada, so wouldn't shipping be really high? is there any store in the US that carries them? (i wish ssa carried more than just the 15 and 18) thanks for the help

    Just to keep everyone in the loop, my shipment is arriving tomorrow so folks who participated in the IXL-18.4 preorder will be receiving their unit(s) early next week. MLI-65's and MJ-18 4 Ohm units are also in the shipment so they too will be out the door. Oh, and a few goodies came in as well... Thanks for tuning in, Mark

    Looks like i'll be running all sundown amps in the near future. I'm looking for forum recommendations for a nice Loud sub that can produce nice lows off a single Sundown SAZ-1500d. Currently my top pick is an RE MX 15 im nt really interested in the Fi BL, but i did look at it as a possibility, and i looked at the TC 3000 but seems they are kinda wishy washy about having things in stock or not. Price is about 700 dollars to work with for a single 15

    So I know that the output of any system is going to be install dependent. However, because I don't have the opportunity to hear any of these subs in person, I was hoping that maybe someone could tell me (read guess) which setup would be the loudest, in general. I am considering running one of the following setups in the trunk of my Sonata. (2) 12" SSDs w/ copper coils sealed with SAZ-1500D (1) 12" loaded BL ported @ 32Hz with SAZ-1500D (1) 15" Q sealed with unknown amp If I can muster the strength to spend more than I really want, I might also consider (2) 12" Qs sealed with 2 SAE-1000Ds. Basically I have decided (arbitrarily) that I would like to play somewhere in the mi…

    I know when i previously asked about using the mli-65s for HT use, there was testing being done on them in different sized cabinets. I was wondering if any conclusions were made about the enclosures, or any crossovers or anything new for them?

  17. Started by vince0616,

    I'm about to redo my small trunk setup (G35 Coupe), and I am going to be putting in two 10" subs ported to try to maximize output in my small space (3-3.5^3 ft). Right now I have an Orion h2.12.2 to last me until I am finished with my new project. The amp is a US Amps MD.3D (06 model), and the subs that are highest on my list right now are the Sound Splinter rl-i's or similar. I know there are probably subs that would better fit my needs, but I just cant think of them right now. Price isn't too much of an issue if the sub is actually worth the price. I might even break down and get some W7's if they end up being the best for the money.

    I'm currently in the process of moving my 12" Mag D2 from my Mustang to my Rav4. In my Mustang, the Mag is in a 2.5 ft^3 Ported box tuned to about 32 Hz and powered with a Massive P1000.1 that's rated at 880 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. When it goes into the Rav4, it's going to be in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box. I'm planning on using the same amp. But my buddy has a Massive P1500.1 amp that's rated at 1250 Watts RMS @ 1 ohm. I can buy it from him. I'm sure 880 Watts is good to power the Mag in a sealed enclosure, but I was wondering if the extra 370 Watts would give the Mag more output that's is audiable in a sealed box. And would a Mag want more power in a 1.3 ft^3 Sealed box?

  23. been browsing some more known sites known for their technicality and knowledge instead of CA Forum Flame fests. i need some suggestions on which dedicated 7" midbass drivers work best in IB enclosures when installed in properly deadened doors. im looking to spend up to 250$ for the 2 drivers. and the size cant exceed 7", i plan on high passing the midbasses around 65hz - 70hz with a high 24 db slope. and playing them up to 300hz where my cdt hd 4" will take it from there. Will be feeding up to 125 - 130 watts at 4 ohms from a 100.2 sundown amp. I need some driver suggestions but as of now, i hear the following are some respectable drivers.

Questions: 1)does ne1 think that a 12 is too much for my application? cause my friend insists it is and 2 8's r best for sq but i dunno bout that. 2)has ne1 used ne of these products? 3)What do ya think of this combo? thx in advance

Now I need some Components that'll fit just like factory. My local shop told me to go with Focals so that'll probably be what i run with unless i get enough people to tell me i can get something as good for cheaper haha. I was wondering if I could get a sub that'll rape 2 12'' cvr, cvx, jl w6v2. I want a single sub at 800rms that'll use a box that takes almost half my trunk. I do care about SQ. I've read that RE SE and SX are great subs. I wanted to see what else was out there. Oh and right now …
