Subwoofers / Speakers

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 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…

ok so i currently bought this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7216_Pioneer+Premier+DEH-P980BT.html and i have a fi btl 12 on the way with a sundouwn audio 1500d and right now my front speakers are blown and its horrible. I was wondering what speakers u guys think could keep up with the sub.i have a 2002 jeep libertty and the only prob with putting in front speakers is it cant exed a depth of 2.5 thanx

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?

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

im thinkin about getting 2 of these for my girl's ride. it will be powered with a audiobahn hct-1500 @ 2 ohms. if anybody has ran these b4 let me know which type of box it likes best. my girlfriend listens to alot of r&b and pop music..thanks

is it true you can re cone a sa sub from a 12 inch sub to a 15 inch sub if so how is this possible ?

i have a 94 caprice wagon and had purchased infinity693.7i 6x9's for the rear. they work fine up until i actually go to screw them in. they actually seem to be grounding themselves out on the bracket where the speaker goes. i checked all the wires and nothing is wrong as far as i can tell. i think it may just be a defective speaker. any input/help would be greatly appreciated.

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

Yep, splurged on the Civic. Any type of volume that allowed you to hear over the road noise was polluted by the slap of a limp dick suspension, so while at the world with me madre today I happened to walk through the audio section and saw some 5 1/4" drivers for somethin like $5.99. I had some radioshack 4" drivers a while back and they actually sounded somewhat decent, so I figured the same would hold true for these, at least somewhat. It didn't really... At least now in the mornings on the way to school, I can listen to the talk shows. I guess.

i was just looking for a price for the DC lvl 4XL woofers, i tried calling and i just got an answering machine thank you.

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

I have an opportunity to buy TWO practically new T2d412 in box for 600. I know they go for over 500 new not including the box. I also know they are spl subs. My question is a. Is there any reason I shouldnt get them b. Has anyone had experience with the newer model t2s and if so are they musical AT ALL?

Hello Everyone, I have had an Infinity Reference 1260w in a sealed box powered by an RE Audio DTS 1000.1 subwoofer in my vehicle for over 6 months now, and I have decided to upgrade. I purchased another of the subwoofers, and attempted to install it. RMS Values of 1260w's = 300w @2ohm DTS1000.1 = 560w For some reason that I can't determine, it isn't playing as loud/well as before, much less louder as it should. Is this because my amp is too weak? I am attempting to wire it down to a 2 ohm load, and to do this I have run the speaker wire from the amp to the first sub, then looped it to the 2nd. AMP + ---> sub #1+ ----> sub #2+ AMP - ---> sub #1- ----> …

Hi and friend and I are going to recone his Fi BTL and we were wondering of some glues to use and where do you get it from? Thanks!

what does this motor/woofer compare to something out now? something along the lines of a BL, Death Row? just looking to get an idea of what they are similar to im thinking of making some into 18s

Well I've had the sub for a few weeks now, it's on a crescendo bc2000d. I've noticed after about 2min I can reach back and feel the dust cap and it's pretty warm, if I keep playing like it like that it just stays that temp and I never smell coil... What I'm wondering is, is there a certain temp the coil runs at with the new motor? Is it still breaking in causing it to be a little hotter? Help me out y'all, I don't won't to melt this beast haha

what do you think about the kicker cvx 15"s?? personally how good do they pick up the lower frequencies?? and also are there any better subs in the same price range?if so what are they? Thanks fellas

I've decided on a FI SSD 10" for my sealed application. Will be running two of them off an AD2200d. Trying to decide whether or not the cooling option is necessary. I'v decided non of the other options are really necessary but would appreciate input if someone thinks I'm mistaken. Daily driver, not super loud all the time but I like to rock out when I feel the need. Thoughts?

Hey guys! I received my Hovoc 15's 2 days (Thanks you Brian) ago and installed them yesterday. DAMN!!!! Thats all I can say lol. I had 2 Diamond Audio d3 previously and they were great. They hit pretty hard but didnt hit the lows hard enough for me. I had a Mmats 2000.1 amp powering both subs and the d3's couldnt handle it when cracked up, they started to smell like smoke after playing them hard and long. Overall they are great entry level subs, nice quality, and they hit hard. now for the havocs, out the box I knew these things was going to be a beast, and they are. After I installed them I rode around for a couple of hours just playing different songs and instantly thes…
