Subwoofers / Speakers

Wow it's been such a long time since I was here.. Anyway, I had an account here called Pandy IIRC, but for some odd reason it seems to be gone.. Not a problem lol. I opened another Anyways, I bought an MJ 18 from Mark last October (right as my wife left me) and I have been adding stuff to the car since. Just thought I would stop in and say hi and say how the woofer gets better every week, Ill be back within a week or so with new pics of the car (I have spent the last few months customising it) and you wont recognise it ! Til then be safe ! Pandy

right now i have a single 15 BTL, loaded, running off of a ma audio hk4000d. im thinking of getting a second sub and amp. i recall reading on here some kind of "formula" for the dB gain by doubling the woofer area and doubling the power, but i cant recall what the numbers were. theoretically, how many dB's can i gain by adding a second 15 and second hk4000d?

as the title states. i like how the xxx sounds, it gets loud, but im thinkin...maybe a 12" mt on 2500w....behind the seats, i can get like 2.7 cubes ported, should be enough for 1 12" mt right? and weight, the 05xxx is like maybe what, 10 lbs less than a 12" mt? i know the xxx has better SQ, etc. but i would probably like either one, i like just straight up loud bass. heres the xxx on a power acoutik a2400db

What do you look for in an SQ sub? What t/s parameters and such makes a geat SQ sub. Now I know that SQ is subjective, but most companies make an SQ geared sub. As a buyer, what should we look for in this type of sub?

I haven't bought this sub yet but, i do plan on buying a 15" mag and plan on having a JL 500/1 feeding it. I really don't want to go over $1,000 and still have a bad ass system. I might even save up for the JL 1000/1 but its a bit more than i want to spend. I am shooting for SQ and still want low's. I'm guessing 3^3 seal box will have slightly better lows than 2.5^3? This install is going into a Crown Victoria 89'. So i got plenty of trunk space to deal with. Also curious how loud this speaker would get with just a JL 500/1 feeding it instead of having a JL 1000/1.

it has arrived the box is an ( HB215 ) Probox lent to me by Quality for testing the res-freq of my truck

Impact Auto Styling is a good shop imo, I've never been there, but I know one of the guys and all the installs he does are SICK and all the brands they carry are damm good imo. stoked to see someone repping SI here locally

Rear Fill Yay or Nay ? I have stocks running off the deck and have a few dollars laying around should i invest in a nice coax and an amp ? coax and the HU power ? or leave it as it is ? thanks

just as stated in the title.....ive always been a big fan of fosgate but i saw a well known guy running 4 btl 18's hittin in the high 150's and the btls are half the price of the T2's....any input would be much appreciated

I apologize in advance - you are dealing with a noob. I think I want to do a sealed 15" in my new car, but I am having trouble deciding which way to go. I have been looking at the Fi Q and the SI Mag. Is the SI really worth the extra 200? Would you recommend anything else? Perhaps maybe even a 12" to go ported with? I am not looking to make major alterations to my electrical just yet either (read HO alt), so I'd like to keep the power handling in the 1000W range. I'm looking for a true LSQ system - I want it to be clean, but get LOUD when I want it. I have about 3 cubes to work with, maybe more if I want to give up some of that golf bag space in the trunk, but I'd like to…

What sized ported box do you recommend for the mj-18? I want to use 4 of them. I have an Astro so I have plenty of room. Thanks.

Hello guys new here and I am looking to replace my JL 12W7 with a 15" Mag. I am running the 12W7 with a JL 1000/1 in a tuned enclosure(custom build to 32Hz). I am looking to increase SPL and by moving to a larger sub(Mag) using the same 1000wrms. I am pretty sure this Mag will outperform my 12w7 what do you guys think? Could you guys reccomend optimum enclosure sizes for my Dodge Magnum. I am looking to maintain SQ as the 12w7 did a good job in that sence. I am willing to give up as much room as needed in the trunk for the enclosure. I will take the reccomended specs to a pro box builder for fabrication. all input is greatly appreciated. D

ok i've heard all kinds of things about the W7 that its the best and also that it sucks. i've heard one and i liked it. what subs come to its level or are better than it in both SQ and SPL on the posts i've read someone wants to know about its performance but someone always brings up the price so when responding, the only thing i ask is dont bring up the price

here is a couple of vids shot on saturday afternoon at the Maryland Hunt cup, the music is Rusted Root, I choose this song because the bass is very low, and the sub just jumps when played with it, hope you guys like it, sorry about some of the backgroup chatter http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...ototype12.2.wmv

Hey all. I can get a really good price on Memphis car audio. I did listen to a pair of 10" M3's and they sound great. I was wondering what you all thought about them and how you would compair them to SS or other brands? THanks for any info BC

I'm in the final planning for the enclosure I am having built inside the trunk of my Camry for 2 15" Mags. I haven't decided exactly what to do with the ports though so I need some advice. First off, I have 9.3 cubes gross to work with. The base model I am working with is 29hz tuning with 93"port area, 34" length and 7 cubes net for the Mags. But playing around with WinISD I have found a couple other things that work as well. For example, 29hz with 93" port but 7.4 cubes and only 32" port. Or, 30hz with 101" area and 34" length with 7 cubes net. My goal is powerful low-end and of course SQ. I might compete casually with this but I would really like to get good num…

Just curious, seems like most of you guys own mag series subs. are there many others of you out there that own the BM series? i was wondering what kind of SPL others get and in what kind of enclosure for one 12, two? i have one twelve in a slotted box with 2 sq ft. but i never clocked it yet. (hardly any competitions in hawaii)

Im looking at both of these setups to be ran as a daily driver setup in my second car .... both can be had for about the same price and require the same power ... what do u guys think? both have good reveiws, work well in all types of setups ... im looking to put either one in a 4.5 cu ft box .. tuned to 32hz ... ish depending on what i wanna do with the application .. just looking for some input .. thanks guys

I already posted this but i haven't really got any opinions and i want to get this project done as soon as possible and that is why i am double postiny. Now i know its all install dependent but which setup will be the loudest n have great sound quality out of these choices: Basically im looking for a great realiable amp thats super efficient with the most true watts *90 amp alt *0 gauge amp wiring kit *Box probably going to be 2.2 @ 33hz (its in a 99 saturn sl2) 12" Fi Q or 12" Fi SSD copper coils, BP power and with what amp? JBL GTO1201.1 II 1114 X 1 2ohm 115 amp 3X40fuses Apline MRD-M1005 1000 X 1 2ohm Heard only draws 90 amps INFINITY 1211A 1300 X 1 2ohm Kenwood KAC-…

after much frustration, a blown amp, and unnecessary investments...my system is finally working...it consists of 2 maw 15s running off a viper 1200.1d, some nextar canadian tire deck, cerwin vega components, infinity rears(now blown, heheh)....i am amazed with it...with a very conservative gain setting, no bass boost or equalization it absolutely pounds, and blends fairly well with the speakers...ive heard alot of bad things about 15 inch subs being muddy and undefinined...but hot damn the maws sound sharp, just as crisp and punchy as a pair of 10s imo...i have yet to actually listen to the system at its full potential, as i blew the rear speakers and im going to put new …

I want one back...need it for my newest install.

anyone have a used mj 18 in good condition

I just bought some Kicker 1/0 gauge power wire kit and I'm having a difficult time figuring out how exactly I'm supposed to get the thick 1/0 wire into the ANL Fuse holder(which came included with the Kicker amp kit by the way). Here are some pictures to show you exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance. I'll check back real soon as I would like to continue the install tomorrow if time permits. Ps. How do I post up an image. It will only let me link an url.

I just bought a 15" D2 and wants to know if 2.5 cubes sealed box would be a good size for the sub, this is strictly for SQ. Thanks!

I was wondering how a 15" mag sealed with 1000 watts will sounds in a 2.8 box. I was hoping to achieve a LSQ setup if that is possible. I would like to know if in a sealed setup the mag will be able to put out a fair amount of volume becasue i already know that no matter what i do to it it will sound great i am just wondering about the volume? Thanks in advance for your help.
