Subwoofers / Speakers

Okay the title says it all. This summer i'm going to put my RL-P in a fiberglass box (my first one, and yes I'm doing lots of research now). My question has to do with the compostion of the box. I've heard that nearly all fiberglass boxes contian quite a bit of wood (the glass is usually just for an ascetic front) and I've heard that 100% fiberglass (minus the mounting ring) usually sound really bad or "hollow". With that said, do you agree (considering the glass will he hella stiff, I'm going to overkill this thing). If including wood does make it sound better, do you have any rough estimates on percentage. Could I get away with glassing in and exposing a few sections of…

I recently installed a pair of Kenwood component speakers in my 00 Trans Am's doors, but for some reason didn't think about the crossovers that came with the speakers till after the install The original ones are hooked up but just want to know if I should pull it apart and replace them with the right ones or will the original ones be ok?

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.

I have a SS xxx 15 with a psi recone. the surround ripped does any one know where i can just get the surrounds ?

Ok guys I got a 98 Eclipse and I want to set it up for SPL. I want to purchase 2 XXX 15's but I can't find anyone who sells them Please help. Also I wouldn't mind getting DD's so if anyone know's anyone who sells there two subs please give me the names and email addy. Also anyone heard 15" SI D2 subs compared to the XXX and DD's??? Let me know bro's

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.

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

Hi guys, i have been doing a lot of reading, and i have heard nothing but good things about the magnum... ok so here's my delima. I have a 92 toyota pickup, and im not cutting a hole in my truck bed. Since i cannot physically see the sub, i thought i would ask for help. Im gonna build a custom box, for behind my seat... i think i can get the box at around 1cf and still be able to fit my amp. Ok so heres my question... Is that gonna cut it. i mean would i be better off looking for something more shallow, or would that be enough for the sub... i noticed the mounting depth was like 6.75 or so right... have you guys ever seen your sub used in a wedge box. Thanks for your…

I having been using BBP 6 and WinISD to design a ported box for 2 Icon 12D1 and getting 2 different port lenghts. Could someone confirm which one is more accurate? My box will be made with 3/4 mdf 17 1/4 high 48 wide and 14 deep outside measurements. After sub and port displacement BBP 6 calculates this to be 4.043 cubs with a port 12.5 X 3 at 32 1/4 long tuned at 27h. WinISD says same specs with port length at 27.94. This is going in a 95 Mazda B3000 extra cab powered by a Sundown SAE 1200 for daily usage. I am fairly decent at box building but mainly just built sealed boxes. I want to try a properly designed tuned box for this new setup. Am I heading in the right direc…

It was a local audio shop's competition that I heard about and entered at the last minute (I got metered at their last one with my previous setup: 2 RF HX2 subs on a 1001D Fosgate amp and I got a 146.0) This time around..... 159.9 outlaw on SPL170 mic (I think this is the right mic) Second overall, first in class Running one 15" D2 on a Hifonics 1500D in 3.2ft^3 @ 32Hz enclosure I was satisfied with my score and I think I suprised (and scared) some people

Right now I'm running a icon 10 in a ported box to spec off of a aq1200d. I wanna try another set of subs and I have 2 si bm 10s laying around, my question is will those be louder, running off the aq1200d and a ported box, or will it pretty much sound the same as the icon? I was also thinking about a pair of sealed (no room for ported) 12s such as type-rs or ia 187s. Which route will be significantly louder?

i remember a while abck david at re was like get a multi meter and it eh ohmage is like 100 or like 1000 that meant it was a burnt VC, thing is my SExxx says 0.. so idk i hope it mean it was a loose connection.

Hey guys, so I'm thinking of making the switch to a no sub set-up for awhile at least because the room in the trunk would be nice and I am starting to go away from that whole rap/bass phase. Currently, I just have a layer or two of eDead in my doors that are pretty solid on the actual door metal, but I am sure I am lacking covering up the larger holes. My question is what can I do or what would be my best bet for setting up a good deadening scheme. I've heard to maybe get some quality deadener (second skin or raammat?) and maybe some ensolite, but if I could hear it some more in detail or some tips that'd be great. To know what I'm dealing with, my set-up is this: Adire K…

Looking for a new sub and wondering if my amp is too much power (birthed at 1420 watts)

I was thinking about getting 2 15" D2's, with the sale and all, and just wondering if anyone knows if I'd be able to fit them in a 03 mustang without taking out the rear seats or MAJOR madding to the trunkspace (any cutting of metal). I was thinking of taking the floor off the trunk and moving the spare, and using that space to house them, anyone know for sure if this would work? I was considering just getting 12's, but I like the "wow" factor of the 15's . Any help would be greatly appreciated...

does any one know the max of these subs the rms is 500 im just scared to put tomany watts and burn it up any help thanks kevin

I was at a car comp at Michigan Tech today, took 1st place in Street B with a 143.6 on the TL playing Outkast - Speakerboxx. I also took first in amateur SQ.

Hello, After hearing a few of my recent builds a friend of mine wants me to build him a subsystem with a price right around 1k (not including labor) so here are a few combos I thought of. Amp Adire ada 1200 (1200wrms at 4ohm) Tapco J2500 (2500wrms at 4ohm) Subs The new 15" RLS (one) a pair of RLP 15's or 12 A single SSA adire made 18 8 RE 8's on sale! I don't have much more than 10 cubic feet to work with. He listens to rock mostly. large room, gothic rocker looking house. I was thinking a pair of rlp 12s in a wicked one with this african mask mounted in the front with red lit eyes would be sweet. He has lots of skeletons and gargoyles in his house. go ahead and get …

hi, i am helping a freind install re audio xxx comps and i took off the tag that said if the red or the blue was the postive and i am wondering if anyone can tell me how to figure out which is which and or if someone has a set that might know.

im working on a stealth install. so hewres my situation, the way im doing my doors is im taking off the carpet, mounting the speaker and puting the capret back over. it was designed for midbass aplicatuions becuase carpet shouldnt harm like 80-300 herts to much but hows it going to effect the upper midrange of the 302's if i buy them>?
