Subwoofers / Speakers

In need of a Single 12" or 15" Dual 2ohm The amp that will be used is the Rockford Fosgate T5001bd (500x1 at 1ohm) but the birthsheet says 1000+ at 1ohm.(don"t remember exact but it over 1000 watt) Going for (LSQ) not sure on price but nothing to crazy Give some ideas please it will be a big help. Thanks

after doing a "uninstall" i ended up scuffing the surround on the subs. one is pretty bad (atleast i think). what can i do to fix this? just silicon it? it did not punture the sub its just looks bad.

looking at either 2 BM 10's ported or 1 Mag 12 sealed, i figure price will be about the same and box size shouldn't be huge issue. which would be a more efficient use of the power available?

I'm still pretty new to the car audio world and often found myself curious about the makeup of a subwoofer and how all the parts work together. After reading conversations about cones, spiders, baskets, vent plugs, poles, etc I was thoroughly confused. I'm sure some other ppl feel/have felt the same way. Hopefully this can be as helpful to others as it has been for me... --> http://www.electronichouse.com/article/ana...f_a_driver/C201 Once you read all the verbage, click on "view slideshow" and there are a few exploded views of a subwoofer. There's still a lot more to learn, but I think this is a decent foundation to building some decent subwoofer knowledge.

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.

sub porn baby!! i'm sure some already know about it...but for those who don't/didn't.. check it out....some cool subwooferage movement.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am looking at these two sets of CDT comps are they considered good speakers? EF-61CF/25: or the CL-61i which are a bit cheaper Its either them or I am just going to pick up some PG 6.5s I guess

Hey all, I'm looking at getting one or two of the new mags, but want to start building my hatch. I did a quick search but turned up emptyhanded. Anyone know what the cutout size and OD size of the woofer is going to be? Thanks, Pat

Quick question... What would 6 dual 2 ohm subs wire down to? For example... If I got 6 SA-8s d2 what ohm would they wire to.. Lowest ohm together or all possibilities.

k im preparing to do a sound competition i had a custom box built for4 kicker l5's, but the company i ordered my subs from accidently sent me 2 l7's and 2 l5's will that mess up my system by running 2 of each i will b running 2 1000 watt amps both at 1 ohmso 2 subs to each

well i have 2 kenwwod 1800 watt amps really 900 watt a piece if i wanted to just run one monster what would be my best option lev.5 or 4xl and i will be getting bigger amps soon

Well just payed for an ordered a FI x 10" I plan to run it sealed off the back two channels of my amp. It set me back a bit more than i wanted but everything i hear about this woofer is really good.

Alright ive been looking around at subs for a while now and ive kind of narrowed my search down a bit i want to keep it around 400 bucks if i do a single 12" or under 500 for two 10"s (i can buy one at a time). So the drivers ive been looking at so far are the Mach 5 SPL 12 which already has a triple stack magnet. The btl 12" with the third mag and longer coil (no cooling cant afford it), or two fi Q10"s. I like loud bass. I want to hear the words over the bass, but dont mind if the music is flooded with bass (running four boston coax's til i have money for two sets of components to replace em). This is mostly for daily driving I will be powering it with a PA a3000db (not…

So I'm really considering picking up two 12" RL-Ps for the new car. I've been reading through the forum here and it seems like people have nothing but great things to say about them. Add that to the fact that they have relatively small ported enclosure recommendations, and you have piqued my interest. The old system was 2 12" Infinity Reference subs (sealed) with 300W on each in a Cavalier. Sounded like crap, but at least I had some bass. I have said goodbye to that car/setup almost a year ago now and I really need something in the new car. I still have to measure the trunk to figure out how much space I want to give up. But I'm thinking along the lines of 3.2 ft^3, tuned…

I was using SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G (H1396) tweets for a while and really liked them. They got stolen and my plan was to either buy new ones or go with the LPGs. Any opinions? They are currently paired with a Dayton RS125-8 5" but the the daytons don't output enough for me. I threw them in my doors because they were all that I could fit. I'll likely switch them out for a pair of my MLI65s or something. Deck is a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS running active. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I was just doing more research on boxes and whatnot and came across Heath and his . Anyway, what is up with his dustcap? Is that what it looks like before / after you blow it off? I know that's a prototype and its not officially released "yet".

Hi. I am building a box for 4 of the MJ-18's. They will be used for home theater and music. So I think im going with 4.5 cubic feet each and tuned to 30hz. Should each subwoofer have its own chamber or should they all be together. If they are together how many ports should I use and what dimensions should they be. Thanks alot!

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.

i got 2 12's with a pg tantrum 1200.1 to power them. i'm running them sealed and would like to go to ported. i want to go for LSQ but a little more on the spl side. i totally suck at designing ports. if someone can come up with some measurements or a design i would really really really appreciate it.

does anybody know it? IIRC its 17 1/4, but i dont remember i emailed Mach5, but its sunday and dont know if they will reply... thanks in advance....

Hey guys, Nick is offering a drawing on a free Mag! http://stereointegrity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129

I was looking at subs at Partsexpress and I saw this. I didn't know who the original manufacturer was but I was hoping you guys might be able to guess. Does parts express have a good reputation (as in, was this really a 550 sub?) My guess would be maybe one the earliest Brahmas, but who knows. Maybe an early HCCA by orion. thanks, b http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=299-660

Noob thinking out loud here. So in a ported enclosure, is the sub having to work "less" near port frequency? The sub moves less, but what does that mean from a power handling standpoint (if anything)? Is it easier for a sub to take power near the tuning frequency? I believe I've read about "thermal" power handling. Does that mean there is another unit of measure for power handling? I could be way off, but from what I recall, it seems thermal is constant with no regard for enclosure, but another aspect of power handling does take enclosure into consideration. Hope I'm coming close to conveying what I'm trying to say here lol. Also, I hear people talking about "efficient"…

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.

I had a set of jl 12w3's sitting around. I wasn't using them because the surrounds where dry rotted didn't want to throw them away So..... I found a kit for them on ebay. Kit came in today... These babies are going in my Honda..
