Subwoofers / Speakers

Okay the MTX tweeters had one die on me last week. So I finally decided it was time to replace them. I was going to use cheap-o wal*mart 3/4" tweets but after seeing they are 10 watts RMS, i knew they would be worthless. I decided to check out some Power Akustics. After picking them up I noticed no swivel to the tweeters themselves. Okay no problem, I can adjust by how I mounted them. I started off with Hed P.E. "Amerikan Beauty". There is a good vocal range here in the females voice, and the lead singer's vopice as well. The first thing I nopticed is on the MTX x/o's they sounded VERY shrill. I dropped the EQ's tweeters level and tweet boost down. The tweet boost went fr…

I know I know

since we had some issues with the links the last go around.. here's the topic at CA.com... with working links http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173881 come out and hear em in person tomorrow in Shelby, NC Loyd L.

What is the difference between these to series of amps? (i.e. XTA-12000D and the ASA-2000.1D,both 2000wRMS)

Hi All, As some of you have mentioned, I threw up some snaps of a 12" prototype sub on the site. I have just added another one - a 20" unit. I'll be spending a bit of time with these in the near future. Head to this link to see them: http://testbed.mach5audio.com Best regards, Mark

Hello fellas, I just picked up a pair of Claw Magnums from Hoss. I've wanted to try these for a long time, and finally came across a pair that I could afford. My only question now is, what size of box is recommended for a pair of these subs? Also, if somebody could point me in the direction of about how much port area is optimal, that would be great also. Thanks, Ry

Hey guys, new to the forum here and i've taken an interest in Mach5 audio. Unfortunately I went to the website to browse around today and it seems like the website is down. I was just wondering if this is only happening to me or is the website really down (Mark did state on the site that he'll be on vacation, maybe that's why )

What is there to expect? Will it be the same as a mag, only fitting the lower price bracket? I decided i wont at my age, income status, and everything going on to afford 2 15mags even 1 for that matter... I need suggestions as to what to do. I wish i could do 20.1 and two 15"s but HA! Im dreaming. But i dont want to drop SI, they seem to be a solid company... So With that in mind what will the bm's be looking like, so i can get an idea of how to power them and what not... So I need a budget IA 20.1 2x 15"Mag setup... =) If that makes any sense

Hi Guys, I recall seeing something like this before but I can't place my finger on it. Speaking with the firm, they said they haven't sent any of these to North America in over a year. Perhaps I'm thinking of a European company.... What's your take?

Hi everyone, If you are interested in seeing some test measurements of the MJ-18, you can go to the web link below. I took some frequency response curves and in-car SPL measurements. http://testbed.mach5audio.com Best regards, Mark

looking at either 2 BM 10's ported or 1 Mag 12 sealed, i figure price will be about the same and box size shouldn't be huge issue. which would be a more efficient use of the power available?

May be a stupid question but i've heard people talk against the 15" for whatever reason and I was curious what you all thought. I'm planning on purchasing a single sub, either the 12" or 15". Are there any major differences between the two besides power use and loudness, or any reason against getting the larger version that I should know of. Thanks in advance.

When are the BM's going to be out ?

ok so i finally got rid of my audiobahn flames q 12's and i ordered a set of custom D4 RE SX hybrids from scott...(former engineer of RE) for 350 for the pair.Do you guys think i will see a good overall diff from the audiobahns to the new ones??? they will be going in the same box i have now which is 4.5cu and 38hz.

http://cartoys.com/default.cfm/t/Car_Audio...rs/o/Subwoofers Well, as you all might but probably wont know, I have to go to cartoys to get a decent setup. Im getting 4'' in the front, 5 1'4 in the rear, and I want a sub. Now, I want to get all in one thing, so I dont have to bother to upgrade for a while. Hypothedicly, saying I were too, what do you think I should get. I have a rear deck, and in that deck I have a med kit. I can take that out and get a rear deck cover, so thats like a vent for the sound. So eitehr I sink an 8'' in the deck, or I open it up, and get something in the trunk. Odds are good I will go with the trunk idea, then gettin on in the back deck. So, su…

What Do you guys think of TC Sounds. I am looking at the 12" TC-3000. looks like a sweet sub. What does it compare to???

Ok well I just received my D2 from Oak244 on ca.com, I just realized he's a member on here too, and wel I need an enclosure design. Itll be powered by a Hifonics BX1205d, I listen to rock and rap just about 50/50, and I would like LSQ leaning towards the SPL side. I was thinking about doing the 1.5 cuft @ 32 hz that is recommend on the SI site but thought I'd ask for other recommendations. BTW will anyone here design a box for me? lol My old box was for a RE SX 15" external dimensions 34w x 25d x 12h tuned to 35 hz. The box was HUGE. I need my trunk so I can relocate my battery since intercooler piping for my boost project will get in the way.

It's looking like I may be picking up an Eclipse SW9182Pro...18"...need to decide on an enclosure for it. I'm limited to 1.4kW, so I'm thinking of using a larger box to lower the Qtc and increase efficiency - space is not a concern. Porting it is another idea, but it would have to be to an extremely low frequency - I'd like to use this enclosure over when I move it inside, I'm buying this with the intention of using it at home someday. I'm thinking even 27Hz would be too high of a tuning frequency for music/HT. Any ideas?

ive got to make a choice between these two components, which 1 is better? i want it loud n good sq

Im looking at getting 2 SAZ-1500D and 1 SAZ-100.2 Thats enuf power for alot of setups. Is it too much for 2 SI mag 15? What is the max a 15 si mag d2 can handle?

here's some videos taken today of my new install.. Panasonic Head Unit CDT Classic 5.25" components Adire Audio Crossovers Coustic 320qe (160w x 2) 2 Stereo Integrity Mag 12's Incriminator Audio 20.1 Stock Factory Batt, and Alt All measurement taken with a fully updated Termlab USB sensor.. 1st video, taken with the sensor 6 feet from the car The track was #3 off Bass Mekanik "Faster Harder Louder" titled "Slow Down For Big Trux" http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/04y...oydsDriveby.flv 2nd video, Sensor on the headrest... 35hz http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/04y...oydsREality.flv 3rd video, Bassrace run.. playing "BME Click" by Lil John http://smg.photobucket.c…

http://media.putfile.com/MAG24 http://media.putfile.com/NEWMAG TOok out the ID overstock. Couldn't handle it anymore. ANyways, 2.4 cubes at 25Hz with only 24 sq. inches of vent. Powered by the rear channels of an Aura RPM4200 bridged for what they rate at 150-170 watts. Funny thing is, it was building up enough pressure in the cabine to feel air coming out of my window. Tomorrow will bring some more vids with some tones at 0dB and MAYBE the big bad JBL.

Hey Im New To Your Guys Forums But I Have Been Researching These New 3XL Subwoofers From Powerbass since december of 2005. Have A Few Questions For Anyone To Answer. 1. Where Can I Safely Buy These From? I have checked out audio-warehouse.com but noticed there is no authorized online dealers for powerbass. I contacted powerbass and am waiting for a distributer call my back with my price from arrowhead distributing. His Name Is Doug. I was looking for the prices around what audio warehouse has. 2. Whats All The Noise I Hear About The Speakers Breaking Within The First Few Days? I Saw In Another Post That There Was a few problems with them breaking…

Ok first off if you haven't heard them, don't flame please. I'm just wondering if I should get these, cause I'm going to buy these door panels that originally had a set of these in them (abc6003q I think)...and as all of you know, I'm going for loud so please don't flame like in all my other threads! IF(notice the if) I run these, ill get 2 sets, 2 6.5s and 1 4" in each door, and 1 4" in each kick, along with 1 set of tweets, and the other set of tweets will go in the dash. If I don't run these, should I just run 4 sets of 6.5" components? If so, what are some good brands/models that will get ungodly loud? Not looking to spend a ton, as I'm not going for sq as you all kno…
