Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys I was wondering what's the difference between tweeters and image tweeters? I'm just curious. Thanks for the answers.

I want to get something like a single 12 or 10 and a 500 watt rms amp. Been looking at the store on here and cant seem to match anything. Ive always had jl, and had a 12 w6v2 with the 500 watt slash amp and liked it. I want to see if there is a cheaper alternative (there has to be) i like the look of the sundown amps, but 1200 watts is the smallest, yikes. any ideas. I was thinkning maybe the dual 10 setup they have in the store. I think its 2 10" dcons or something with the 125.2 amp. Any other ideas. Not looking for tons of bass, just some smooth low end to put in the car.

im really impressed by how well everything showed up at my house. Ive bought from Fi and from Massive Audio and their packages arrived in a pretty battered condition. the boxes for my MJ's looked new. and with the triple box package the sub and paperwork looked like it hadnt moved since the box was taped up. thanks for the great service mark

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!

Anybody know if i could find any kind of SI decals to paste all over my car? I'd like the people in the car next to me to know whats shakin em.

Unless I'm blind/that n00by I couldn't seem to find it at http://www.stereointegrity.com/Magnum12v1.html What is the driver displacement for the 2nd gen Mag D2?

I just wondering if there is a way to calculate how much port area you need? I know a basic way to do this is to have 16 square inches of port area for every cube of box volume. I also know that port area needed for a driver has nothing to do with the volume of the enclosure. so how would I calculate the right amount of port area for a driver?

I am going to be ordering a 10" FI Q in the next couple of days. It will be going in a sealed box with .57 cu. ft. or airspace after displacement. I will probably be running it with an older Memphis 1000d I have laying around. I know I need to add the high QTS option to it, but should I add the cooling option as well? This may actually be a stupid question but does the cooling option add any length to the mounting depth? My box is only 7" deep so I dont have any room to play with being that the mounting depth for the Q is already 6.5". Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

does anybody know it? IIRC its 17 1/4, but i dont remember i emailed Mach5, but its sunday and dont know if they will reply... thanks in advance....

well i have 2 kenwwod 1800 watt amps really 900 watt a piece if i wanted to just run one monster what would be my best option lev.5 or 4xl and i will be getting bigger amps soon

Well just payed for an ordered a FI x 10" I plan to run it sealed off the back two channels of my amp. It set me back a bit more than i wanted but everything i hear about this woofer is really good.

How much power would you guys recommend for a DC Level 4 XL 10 or 12. I just want the shock factor of holy shit thats a 10?!?!?! lol

I need to know the diameter of the bottom part of a 12" Mag's motor. If all go as planned (which is now my 7th plan), the box is going in a sealed box to fit in hear: http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166973.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166974.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/571/166975.jpg The bottom slopes and I didn't take that into acount in my first few designs. I'm planning something like this (side view): http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/474/572/179813.jpg And if the diameter of the bottom is more then 4", it will hit the bottom board. And I"ll have to look for another driver.

Okay so I want to get new subs I have 2 memphis C3's right now and looking for something that is loud and clean and you can feel it in your chest my dubget is under $900 and no bigger than 15's please help me having trouble choosing new subs.

Is there any programs off the top of your head that i can play with for a sub enclosure for my new build.Still going back and forth between F1 15s or L715s.This would go in a 1996 Chevy exdt.cab without the rear seat.

hey guys. just thought id post this up. its taken from the british talkaudio forum. the guy in question is the proud owner of 2 stereo integrity magnum 12's run by a genesis amplifier. he has a wealth of experience in the automotive industry and has done much consulting work for companies such eminence so lets just say he knows one or two things about car audio drivers the link is his view on the install i helped him get together and biy does it soujd awesome http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=81814 Nick L - Great product. Great guy. Great service. Happy reading folks

i want to get rid of my little 10" type-rs and go with one 15" sealed theres too many options out there, so to help me narrow things down.. whats the general favorite for SQ, 15", and sealed to spec?

first off, thx to all who helped me. i believe ive reached a decision..for now. i have a 02 ram single cab and dont wanna sacrifice sq. therefore, i will remove my center seat in order to create more clearance and air flow to acommodate a Crystal CMPx2 12. my front stage will consist of Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS comps powered by a Zed Audio Gladius Burr Brown amp. Questions: 1)does ne1 think that a 12 is too much for my application? cause my friend insists it is and 2 8's r best for sq but i dunno bout that. 2)has ne1 used ne of these products? 3)What do ya think of this combo? thx in advance

Has anyone tried any? What model and what did you think?

I'm thinking about replicating the sub enclosure created by Jmelan over at DIY mobile audio for my 2002 4Runner. Does anyone foresee any difficulties or performance issues for the RL-i8 with this type of enclosure in a side-firing alignment? I wonder if a larger driver (Fi Q 10/12, ICON 10/12, RL-i10) wouldn't be in my best interests.

ive been lurking on smd for a while now and got some DD's about 2 months ago, im happy but they have been a pain in the ass, squishy dust caps, weird sounds on highs and just over all unpleasantness of them, so ive turned my eyes to some new pretty ssd12's i want to keep my m3b seeing i paid a SH** ton for it, would 2 12''ssds be ok on that power(about 1200 each) havent yet clamped it to see but according to the birth sheet at one ohm thats what itd would be. my box dims are about 5.2 net so about 2.6 each at 34hz with a 5 in port 26 inches long. now final statement, would these bad boys handle all this?

Im looking for a good tweeter match for my MLI-6.5. Both the mid and the tweeter will be in the door. I could probably find a place to put the tweeter on axis if that matters any. It will be a active system ran off a US Acoustics USX-4065 (zed built) rated at 65x4 at 4 ohms. The substage will be a 18" xcon ran off a saz-1500d. Im looking for good sound. If it has the ability to get loud thats just a plus.

I was using SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G (H1396) tweets for a while and really liked them. They got stolen and my plan was to either buy new ones or go with the LPGs. Any opinions? They are currently paired with a Dayton RS125-8 5" but the the daytons don't output enough for me. I threw them in my doors because they were all that I could fit. I'll likely switch them out for a pair of my MLI65s or something. Deck is a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS running active. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Tell me what you think! Just got everything done yesterday! Sounds awsome, I love it. Well worth the wait/money. Thanks SI!

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