Subwoofers / Speakers

So here's the lowdown, I have a 93 Subaru legacy sedan and I'm looking for a sub and an amp.About 70% of what i listen to is metal, and the other 30% is mostly dubstep with a bit of rap thrown in on the rare occasion.Basically i want something that will sound good with the double bass and fast bass lines in metal, but still have some thump for dubstep.Looking to keep it under $400 for both.I've been seriously considering a dcon 12,but i saw a vendor selling an open box sa-12 in the classifieds.I'd like some good sq but in not an audiophile, if it will sound good with music I'd be more than happy.

Does anyone know where the t/s parameters to the 18's of either the 9500 or the hdc3 can be found? I am trying to get a box designed but the companies don't have them posted that I can see.

Hey guys, Just need some info on these babies (the 12" D2's) mainly. First off....price! Secondly, I would like to know how these monsters stack up against the L7's and the Fi BL subs. I'm stuck between getting the 12" L7, BL, or D2. Performance....The car that anything will be put in is a '03 ford taurus (seats do fold down). Each sub will be powered off of a RF T10001.bd amp. in a box like this... http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...;Fs=27&CE=0 So which sub will I get the most performance out of? The subs that I need to compete with, here in my town, are two 12" L7's. Everyone thinks nothing can compare to them. Can I show them wrong with a couple MAG's?…

probably a stupid question, but got my subs sold, they were 10" and now wanting to upgrade Got along with a dealer and he is selling me 2 American bass hd 15 for 460 brand new wondering if i should get those subs or get another brand and model let me know what you guys think

Does anyone know the cutout for an eclipse Ti 12"? I've got box built, just need to make the cutout, but don't know what it is. Help would be nice since eclipses site doesn't say anything.

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…

m5a are you guys going to start selling any tweeters&crossovers Is that true that there is going to be a m5a car amp series? so i hear that the M Series is no more so do you have a new series around the same dollar or is that a thing of the past? any news on the new subs? in the past m5a had a plate amp do you guys still sell them and if so whats the cost?

So at the moment i own an orion xtr pro 124 powered by a piece of shit boss 1500. I know it's a terrible set up but i was tight on money at the time. Right now i have about 500$ to spend on a woofer and about 400-600 for an amplifier. I drive a 1999 mustang and i would be building a custom box according to the woofer. I listen to mostly dubstep and rap and love the low's. I was looking at either a 15" mayhem or a 15" Zcon? Any of you owned either of those and know how they sound or how loud they are?

Doing a system to my 2008 sierra ext. cab... I already have a kicker ZX700.5 amp and CDT EF-61i comps... Also going with the alpine IVA-W205 head unit... I'm looking for a little help on what sub I should look into... Looking for one 10" for a sealed in the .65 to 1.0 net vol. range.. Will be under back seat... With stock seat height I'm looking at a 5.5" mounting depth... but I'm looking at raising the back seat 3/4" max with wood blocks... If I do this it puts me up too 6.25" mounting depth.... The kicker will be feeding the sub around 400-500 watts rms @ 2ohm. IF I can get the seat high enough I am going with a sound splinter rli-10... IF raising the seat don't work …

thinking about buying these 2 sundown zv3 18s to replace my 2 fi ssd 18, would i be gaining or loosing, i got a mmats 3500.1 for da power

I was just wondering what a good price was for these two of these, because i have seen a couple people trying to sell used ones for 250 each plus shipping and then i was offered two lvl3 for 350 shipped i was just wondering if i just got a good offer for the lvl3s or if the guys was overpricing the lvl4s thanks for all inputs

would anyone know of what my options would be for soft parts for a power acoustic mofo 124x

I have a sundown saz3500d im going to be using to power my subwoofer stage. i cant decide what subs i want to run however. im stuck between 2 Sundown NightShade V2 D1 15's or 2 FI BTL N2 D1 15's (i havent found any videos or opinions on these FI's really?). those are my main two choices but i have been considering saving the money and going with 2 of the sundown z v2 D1 15s. Is it beneficial to go with the top model nightshades compared to the z? in my video watching i have been very impressed by all the sundown 12's. i have also been giving the nightshade v2 d1 12s, z v2 d1 12s, and 4 d2 sa 12s some thought. id really like to see 150db on music, maybe wishing too big, b…

selling my 12" ssps wondering if any one was intrested down in southern california

A buddy of mine still has the first system he bought a couple years ago consisting of 2 Kicker CVX 15s in a sealed box (the shop said they couldnt make a ported box with space they had, but I ran it on Torres an the box would have only had to be 2in taller to run a port which would put him at the top of his back seat.) He said he likes his 15s but he wants to be "louder" and hit the lows better. I told him I could build a ported box for his car, or we could upgrade subs for the new box. I have him looking at the XCON 18. He has a HIFONICS Brutus 2200. I figured at 1 ohm he would see 1700-1800 watts. Would 1 XCON 18 in 6 cube box at 34hz be as "loud" or "louder" than the 2…

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

I came across a good deal on a set of RE 6.5" components. Not the XXX model just the RE model. Looking for some input from guys using these/have used these in the past. Thinking about swapping these in place of my Kappa 6x9's since one of them is flaky. I'm not looking to compete or anything. This is in my daily driver and will be powered by my Alpine V-drive (60x4) I think it's more like 25-30 rms head unit unless these need there own amp.

So Im going to rebuild my wall, and im going to do 4 15s this time. I have 2 Fi Q 15s right now. But I can sell them and get SSA subs. The amp I will be running is a DD m3a clamped. So my question is should I stick with Fi and get 2 more Qs or should I sell them off and get 4 SSA Icons? just post your thoughts and opinions, the box will have a removeable port and be about 16 cubes before port and im guessing 14-15 after the port is in. Here is my system now,

WHAT ARE SOME GOOD 8S OUT THERE THAT CAN HIT LOW? IM LOOKING TO DO A 4 SET-UP IN THE EL CAMINO I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN HELP. I WANT TO DO A PORTED BOX DONT REALLY CARE FOR SEALED.WISH THE RL-8S WHERE IN STOCK REALLY GOIN TOWARDS THESE BUT IS THERE ANYMORE OUT THERE

Does anyone have any experience with this company or their products? I was thinking about putting this in a bedroom... I have no idea about home audio. Ik it is alot different than car audio... But this is cheap with a decently high rms rating...

Looking for a 12" sub that can handle 1500w daily like champ and be fine in a slightly smaller ported enclosure tuned in the lows 30's. Looking for mainly SPL right now. This is just for daily, no competitions will take place. Looking to keep the price under $700 for the pair if possible. Need to buy them new. 12" XCON? 12' Nightshade? 12" BTL? 12" HW? I like good customer service and subs that have good information available about optimal enclosure sizes.

I have a 2002 Chevy trailblazer, Boston acoustic 4 channel amp powering the b.a. interiors. I also have a kinetic hc800 to help power the jl1000v2 which is 1000rms. but i need some help choosing subs. i have a suv so the box size is virtually unlimited, i want something that hits rlly hard so i can have some bragging rights. i was thinkin maybe 2 15's but have no idea what kind i should get. money is not a factor i will spent what it takes to bump as hard as i can with 1000rms. HELP ME!!!!!

Alright guys I'm a total noob when it comes to wiring stuff. This is my first system and I want it done right! Let me tell ya'll what I got. I have Rockford Fosgate 5 and 1/4s all the way around with an Alpine MRV 300 powering them. I just got my Crescendo S1500 to power my Sundown X 12. I also have a Kinetik HC 1200. I have to splice the 0g wire I have going to my amp and run it to my second battery so I got a 0g splicer. I have to go and pick up some 0g ring terminals so I can solder them to the 0g. From there I'm pretty freaking lost right about now! I'm lost as to how to wire my dual 4ohm down to 2ohm. Any help or expertise would be awesome. Thanks guys.

HELP please WHich would be the best for the rear of my rsx...i want something that is clean sounding, has nice mid range presence (spl) and will give me crisp, accurate highs. I am currently looking at cyrstal csx615, infinity kappa 652,5i, polks db675, and image dynamics ctx6. I have cdt classic comps in front with silk tweets. Which speakers would suite my needs best as I do not have a store locally taht has any of the aforementioned speakers. Thanks

I recently picked up the WT3 and have been playing around with it a bit. But I am a little unclear on a parameter I am supposed to enter in. When having it calculate VAS you need to enter in the Piston Diameter, What should I enter? ie 15 for a 15" driver, 12 for a 12" driver etc. OR Should I enter in a calculated diameter from the Sd? Example a 15" driver is ~12.64", 12" driver ~9.73" etc. Thank you.
