Subwoofers / Speakers

what are the differances if any of the old mj18 and the new mj18m?

So I was looking into the focal k2p comps for my front stage. Pros? cons? likes and dislikes?

I've become interested in getting a pair of these but couldn't find the power handling of these anywhere. Does anyone know what their RMS power is? Thanks

Is there much of a difference between the mach 5 15" ixl vs the ssa icon 15". I know the mach 5 seems to have a good sound quality and im not really to sure about the ssa icon. If anyone could give me a little more info about them like which one would get louder with a 1000 watt sundown audio amp. Thanks.

What's up SSA? Hoping I could get some advice from you guys. I need a sub for my boat, but I'm just not sure which one will be best for my application. I like everything I've read about sundown so I'm leaning in that direction. I had an 12" Alpine type R powered by an Alpine MRP500 in a crappy best buy enclosure...I took it out, and looking for more The new sub(s) primary purpose is to get girls to dance on the boat. Most of the music played will be fist pumping club music, e.g., house, hip hop, and some rock. I want the sub to be loud and have a violent punch if that's possible. I'm installing 8 Exile SX65c's 6.5" speakers powered at 100w RMS @ 2ohm each. I had 4 SX65c's…

will 30 sq in be fine? cuz i wanna use this box:

what is the displacement of the the MAW-12? tanks

Like I said, I change my plans and I want to know if a 2.5cuft ported box tuned to 35hz is a good box for a single 12' dcon. Too big, or ok box? Tuned too high? I'm going to send it 400wrms.

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...

Hello folks. I wanted to get some opinions on 8inch midbass drivers. I'm changing up the front end in my Dodge Durango. I will be running 4 Diamond Audio M6 4inch midranges and a pair of M&K softdome tweets. They will be actively passed at 250 up at 12db per/octave. One set of mids and the tweets will reside in custom pods on the front corners of the dash(tucked in between the dashboard, A-pillar, and windshield so they can be on-axis and facing the passengers) and the second set will reside in pods on the upper front corners of the front door panels. All will be laser aligned to a center point about a foot past the front seats. The midbasses will be located in the lo…

Here are some pics, of my xcon inside and out. voicecoil Cone Inside the magnet Spider Rear surround Rear Side Front Here is also a link to my page of the videos of this sub Enjoy! I got my new xcon YAY! here is my short review. - SSA Car Audio Forum

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.

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..

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.

Ive alwased had a pair of 12w6 and all my friends had 12w6. It is an amazing sub but i want something different. Has anyone have any experience with 12w6v2 and the new magnums? I want to switch to magnums but dont know if its a good choice. What are the pros and cons and reliability?

as my sig says...i did run two 15" treo ss's off a single memphis 1000d in a dodge ram..... now i don't have the dodge..the memphis is sold and my treo's are sitting in the garage.... here is what i am wanting to do....two 15's, either 3000wrms or 4800wrms to the subs (depends on what amps i decide to go with), iggy altenator, 3 svr batts(one under hood, two for the sub amps) a 6.5 componet set and around 150 wrms for them.... now here is the reason for the post....... i am considering 2 15" memphis mojo max's...2 memphis 1500d's or mojo's...memphis sq componets and a memphis pr series amp for them(maybe a 4 channel so i can run a pair of m series 8's for mid bass..dunno)…

Anyone know how much an 18" fi ssd weighs?.. Trying to get shipping price while I'm at work because we have a postal station in my department that I work out and wanna get the estimate on our post office computer before I leave at 9 tonight!! Estimates? Mines mounted in my car so I can't weigh it ATM lol. Ssa.com even while working ftw, don't tell the managers... Hyvee grocery stores ftl lol

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"…

first things first, should i order directly from the company or get the subs from a store. So what ive been looking at Ascendant Audio-Mayhem 18, Smd 18, and havoc 18 Fi-BTL 18 Rockford fosgate- Power 12 or 15, punch15 Then for amps i am looking at Soundstream-XXX, Refernce Rockford fosgate-Prime500-1, Punch400-1 I also dunno what are good amps, i alrdy have 10' pioneer subs in the car, and i have a 2005 toyota 4 runner Thanks Sam

How many watts can a BL Fully Loaded handle without any problems?

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?

I just installed a set of image dynamics x69. I am running them full range right now with the high pass set at 60hz. The 3sixty.2 hasn't even been tuned yet. I am not even bridging the sax 50.4 yet. For some reason I am getting a scratching noise on some of the mid-high frequencies (ex:someone singing a higher octave). I was not playing these loud at all. In fact we were just testing them to make sure sound came out. Is this because the speaker was not meant to play higher frequencies? When I integrate my horn tweeters should I be fine or is there a possibility that something is wrong with either the install or the product itself? Any input would be great. Thanks!

has anyone heard the ascendant audio havoc in a sealed enclosure? i am getting 2 aa havoc 15's (d2) in a sealed enclosure with roughly 2.4 ft^3 per sub after all displacements each will have it's own rf t1500-1bd they will be firing upwards in my subaru impreza outback sport (hatchback) rewound 160 amp alt and 3 xspower d5100 batts second skin on hatch, roof, and trunk floor i have already ordered them from defiant audio and the suspense is killing me coming up from 2 ported infinity reference 1252w's ( one has a cracked cone and sounds terrible) on a single t1500-1bd any guesses on what kinda tl scores i could get with these? i was hoping for at least 140 whil…

so im shopping around for some tweeters to be ran by my SAX-100.4 and i came across these... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=272-110 i dont know much about different tweeters, but would these work for my front end? if so, would i need to take the cap. off that is already soldered on it, and just use the amp Xovers? ill be running them with these or if you know of any other cheap"er" tweaters that are a good choice feel free to chime in

right now i have a decent setup which contains. (2) rockford fosgate 450.4 amps (puts out 225 rms to ea. sub when bridged) click here (2) mtx Jackhammers (400 rms) 6x9 Kenwood Speakers (125 rms) i plan on selling my mtx subs and upgrading to (2) 15 inch subs. i want louder sound. higher lows. and an overall higher spl. correct if im wrong but i believe 15 inch subs are louder then 12 in subs. so heres my question. since CRUTCHFIELD has a BOGO on their subs. i plan on buying ethier the rockford fosgate 15 in sub (200 rms) click here or polk momo 15 in sub. i can buy dual voice coil or single voice coil.(400 rms) click here price is the same so that doesnt matter. just wa…
