    hello, thanks for any help in advance. i'm looking at ordering my first mach 5 subs ( ) and just wanted some recommendations as to which ones' i should get and bopx sizes. right now i have a crappy 15" kicker cvr in a ported box tuned to 35-36hz. and i want something to keep up with it in spl but also have better sq (which shouldn't be hard since kicker sucks, but it was damn near free). i have 650wrms to play with so i'm thinking about 2 maw 12's. how would they compare sealed or ported? if sealed works (kinda hoping it does, miss the lows my box now doesn't get) what would be good size, was thinking about 2.5cuft after displacements? or ported, but i'd want it tuned lo…

    I am planning on ordering 4 sundown sa-8 v2 subs for my Silverado crew cab. I am gonna build a box for them that will be 2.2 net cubes, maybe a little more, and with at least 32 square inches of port area. I am wandering if since I am going to be using a crescendo bc2000, should I get 4 dual 4 subs and wire them to .5 ohms or 4 dual 2 and wire them to 1 ohm? I have done the big 3 in 1/0, have a stinger spp1500d, and have all wiring in 1/0. I will also be buying a new alt here soon.

    Well i bit the bullet and im buying used CD player. Eclipse 3400. while insalling my IS2080 i found my surounds on my RE mids where comming unglued and the coens where dry rotting. IE poor build quality though they sound great. one of the cones has actually begun to split with the extra power. So im going to have to get new mids, im planning on eventualyl going active so i'd like a good pair of 6.5's that have strong midbass, around 100w RMS or less, work well IB or sealed, and would integrate with me RE tweeters and overs for the time being.

    is the PG tantrum 1200W too much for a magnum 15'' D2? I've seen some birthsheets that have 1500+ watts on this amp. I want real nice SQ in this setup any other suggestions under $400 for an amp? thanks.

    hey guys, i'm really leaning towards getting a 12" D2 for my system right now, but i got a quick question. i'm planning on powering it w/ an avionixx 800.2 (1x800 watts RMS bridged @ 4ohms) in a sealed enclosure ~1.6 cu. ft. will the D2 still sound clean and moderately loud w/ this little bit of power? i'm going for LSQ by the way.

    I have an old RE 12 that I had no Idea what the model number was and so forth so I emailed some pictures to the Fi-Recone email. They informed me that it is the SE series and RMS's around 600 watts. What Recone kit would be best for this subwoofer and would it be cheaper for me to purchase the recone and do it myself or just send it in to Fi? Your help is much appreciated, I know there is a probably a lack of information but that is about as much as I know about the subwoofer.

    I like for my lowest bass to be very strong. I'm not into the high/loud bass that you hear from street beaters. I'm very interested in the 2 Q 15's but since i have stock alt(2000 grand marquis) I doubt i go any higher than 1500 rms total for them. Which makes me think i'd waste them. Are the SS series subs as good with the low notes with that much power? I'm going sealed. I like the sound of subs in 4 cubes per and bigger. thx for any input..oh yeh, i also have the L7 on the list however my friends tell me the FI subs would destroy them

    I'm just looking to hear what other people's preferences are about full range / component speakers. My system is getting installed next week and after MAJOR hassles trying to get Memphis to send the right speakers and amps I'm going with all Infinity (a mix of components, full ranges, and an amp. With 2 15" LIs and cadence amp for bass). I've had Infinity speakers before and liked them quite well for the price, but I hear lots of people say they are too loud on the highs and have no midbass (with a definition of midbass being below 100hz). To me full range speakers should not go below 100hz, and in fact I've often put in bass blockers at the 100hz level. I think a good …
