Subwoofers / Speakers

a local shop has a brahma laying around never used except for caraudio.com mag testing and they want 4 bills for it...is it worth it? and what are your opinions on these. and they also carry USD audio. has anyone ever heard of/used these??

A buddy of mine wants me to put a system in his 2006 ford f250 4 door truck. He wants the subs behind the back seat. I have about 4.5" of mounting depth, about 14-15" in height, about 60" long, and about 1.25-2 cubes to work with. He wants to be able to hit the lows fairly good in a ported box. Which sub or subs should i get for him? Sizes? How many? I know the shallow mount subs like the cvts and p3s are pretty good but they dont get too low. Also i have 1200 watts at 1 ohm available to work with. So any wattage up to that would be recommended.

Thats right, my 15" SID2 does not have a logo, but fear not I bought it legit from Nick. I really wish it had a logo on it tho and all the stickers I get done from the local sticker shop sucks real bad. Is there any way I can ship the sub back to SI and get a logo put on the basket?

I'm really thinking of ordering up a couple of Level 4 subs for my cousins and I, but I am curious as to what you guys recommend as spec boxes as far as Volume/Port Area/Tuning? Thanks in advance! ALOHA FROM HAWAII, SKY

ok so i found these and they are well within my price range. are these eclipse 3 way component sets any good? anyone here that has used or heard them? they seem like a steal for a 3 way set. 6 1/2 eclipse 3 way set

I have a 2002 forester looking for a good starting place for box ideas for 2 9515's and what would be better power wise. M4, M4a, DC 5k?

Hi guys. I am going from 2 punch hx2 12"s ported in my is300 to a single 15 setup. I had a dd 2515 setup before and it wasnt that loud obviously only had 600w to it. I am looking for a 15" or something that will be louder than my 2 12"s with around 1200watts or a little more being pushed to it... Under 250 bucks.....??? ANy ideas

well i have a box for my clarion subs already fabbed up, but it looks like someone wants to buy them, so i was wondering if roughly 3 cubes at 29 hz, with power from a 1500d sundown will sound half decent or atleast better then the c-rons i have now? the box can not go any bigger with out not being able to get it in and out of my trunk. 2 15's at 3 cubes 7.8 cubes external box volume :S and it can be taken out with alot of work lol. oh and im looking at getting 2 if the total price of them shipped to canada is less then 1000 bucks lol.

ok im going to to get two 13"w1v2 subs and i was wondering what would be a good amp to make the subs be as loud as possible i want it to be super loud and what are some good door speakers?

Hi, is there any difference to building a box with one side being plexi glass? would it change tuning? Is there a special type of glass i need to use? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

i am building a box for 2 a pair of level 4xl's and i was wondering would there be a big difference of i only did 12's instead of 15's?

well, as some of seen the pics..now it's time for a review.. i bought the sub for $50 just so i could add some low end. i chose the pr becuz scott (owner radioactivity) said they kicked ass for cheap subs, personally i thought he was full of chit...but read on.. The Install the sub is in the recommened 1ft^3 with 6in^2 of port. yep just 6 square inches! the only thing i changed was port length, as memphis recommends a 40 hz tuning, i added 3/4" to the port length, hopefully bringing it down somewhere around 35-37 hz. The Power yeah right!! it's getting fed a rated 70 wrms @ 4 ohm from a memphis pr 140. fred (local memphis rep) says the amp is actually closer to 125 wrm…

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 …

I had my new audio equipment installed today, and Ive got a few questions that Im hoping a few of you can answer for me, mostly about my amp Im running my 15" D2 off a Hifonics BX1500D wired at 1-Ohm, and the sub itself is in a 3.2ft^3 enclosure ported @ 32Hz. Im running 4-gauge interconnects from KnuKonceptz and using an Alpine CDA-9827 Head Unit (4-Volt subwoofer out). I know a few of you here are running the same amp I am, which is why I decided to ask this here Anyways, this is my first big install and I am pretty much clueless when it comes to setting my amp settings correctly: SSF (15-35Hz, currently set to 25Hz) Bass Eq (1-18db, currently set on 4db or 5db) Low P…

is there any relation? ie. would two subs showing an impedance of 4 ohms have a better chance at SQ than two subs showing 1 ohm

Anyone mess with the CDT mid tweets? Can't remember the model numbers. The concept and size sounds cool, but I'm wondering what the DIY realm thinks of it.

I don't have amgnums yet, but I'm planning to get them soon. But I'm going to start planning and building the box. I want a ported box for 2, tuned to between 28-30. My max outside dimensions are 15.5h X 19d X 35w. How long and wide should the port be? thanks for the help

Ok so I have one 12" ssd, with 700 watts, and im upgrading to 1200+ watts with the sundown 1200d v.2. Im not sure if I want to buy another ssd and make a new box, or just replace my existing ssd with one sub that can handle the power (and keep my existing box). I was browsing and found the hifonics olympus "olm1612," which does 1600rms bl=11, mms=204, fs=35.5. Given this sub's fs, can I still tune it to 32hz? And what does everyone think about hifonic's subs? I have always known their products, particularly their amps, to be somewhat cheap and overrated.

I remember reading that you can wire each voice coil of a sub to seperate channels of a two channel amp. Is there any advantage to this? Does an amp have an easier time running two channels at 2 Ohms than a bridged channel at 4Ohms? Would there be any sort of heat savings? Anything?

I would like to find a good selection of tweeters to pair with my MCintosh 630's https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSS630-McIntosh-COMPONENT-SPEAKERS-TWEETERS-MIDS-X-OVERS-GREAT-CLEAR-SOUND-NEW-/130617525735 and Audison bit1. I am also looking for a 100X4 amp that sounds clean. This has to fit in my 1990 Lotus esprit. The plan is and is going along. To finsh building my custom doors that house tweeters near the handles and midbass by the knees. The midbass will have boxes of around 4L-6L of capacity and be ported. Then when the speakers are built I plan on adding in a 4x100 amp for the front connected to the bit1 and having that connected to a CD or better quality audio so…

New Setup need build a LSQ system I wanna put a good system together but Im not sure what type of subs or amp to look for. I listen to a lot of R&B, Hip Hop & Rap. I love my music to be deep(subs) and clear(fs) so what would be good oh yeah Im not on a want a budget. If anyone could give any good suggestions/advice, personal experience, etc I would appreciate it, thanks!!

Just wondering...

Going through a local shop today they had these setting in the back with a generic label on them. The lady said it had some off brand subs in there.. with no info on them any idea? I know sundown I pulled both out the coils look good.. any idea which sun down? these were the best pics I could get also it was 170 for the pair.

I haven't decided between a 12" and a 15" sub. The old phrase "there's no replacement for displacement" keeps coming into my head when I think of getting a twelve. Right now I have a 15" sub, but I think I'd like to save some space. Obviously bigger subs will go down lower and be audible, but in the 30is-100+hz range. Do 15" subs have any advantage over 12" subs. I'd like to find a sub in the ~$200 range give or take. Would you mind recommending me sub for each size or just one. I'd like to know what I'm giving up and gaining by going 12. Obviously I'm gaining space, and giving up some lowend, but will the size affect the musical range? I'm not looking to burp this setup.

going to put 2 in my car and was wondering what you that of it and what i can expect
