Subwoofers / Speakers

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.

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 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.

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.

I have Soundsplinter 15 in a 2.0 cu ft box. I would like to go to SI MAg 12. I would like to have output similar to a 15 so I want to go ported. How much SQ do u really lose. It goes in the trunk of Grand prix. I listen to some rap, but also some metal, reggae, and even techno. If u seal a Magnum do u hinder some of its marvelous attributes. I will be running Old School Orion( Pre DEI disaster) XTR Pro 1000

I decided to go with 2 12" SI Mag but i have limited trunk space because i have a Civic. Does anyone think i could 2 mags in a ported box hittin to their full potetial, the box will be tuned to 32 Hz if that helps, in my Civic. Ive never built a box and im pretty new to car audio but i know someone who's gonna help me build the box.

What's Up Guys? I just recently bought a camaro and was wanting to develop a substage in it. I think I'm going to buy a subthump enclosure and was wondering what you guys thought I should do. They offer a deepwell enclosure whihc is what I was thnking of getting. I was wondering if 2 sealed RL-P 15's would be choked in 3.2 cubes or not? I have always used 12s and think 15s owuld be cool to use. The deep well box offers 3.2 cubes and then normal well enclosure offers 2.3 cubes. Deep Well Woofer Options-Single 12 or 15, and Dual 12 or 15 So Give me some ideas within these guidelines please. Thanks.

Hey guys Im currently waiting for my SI 12" to be delivered from low-hz and Im starting on the box. 1300ish watts from a diamond D5 1200.1 in a 1.25ft^3 pre displacement sealed box. Anyway trying to work out dimensions and I was just wondering what the mounting ring diameter is? Just so I leave enough mdf outside the 11.125 cutout. Thanks

Here is my is where i am at. I am going to get 2 JL 500/1. I am looking at 2 ebay auctions. I don't know if ii should get the 12in Image dynamics dual 4ohm or a RE audio 12in SX dual 2 ohm? I am looking for big base but still keep a good amount of SQ. Also i don't know which would be better for me 2 or 4 ohm. I have read lots of good things about RE audio on this forum ,but Image dynamics doesn't seem like a bad choice. I am going to build a sealed box if that makes a difference.

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…

If i wired two sundown SAZ 1500D and strappem to 3.0K watts RMS @ 2 ohm and run two 15" mags, can i make it so the subs are only getting 2.2-2.4K watts? would that be just turning the gain down right? cus i wana run two amps but not power the subs at 3K more like 1.2 a peice. I hear this will be loud and clean and make people go HUH!

I just got 2 12 inch 3xl subs and there not loud to me, the box is 2.0 cubic feet per chamber. I hear great things about them so my question is will they get louder after they break in or will i need to put them in a bigger box thanks.

hehee... Hey Nick! no time no chat.... I think you forgot my numba anywho.... just wanted to hit up your forum and stroke your ego a lil bit.. Sean and I got the SI 12"s in the aveo this weekend.. now everybody that knows me, knows I've tested ALOT of speakers... I mean hundreds.. name it.. I've tested / owned / killed it I honestly couldn't believe how GOOD those 2 subs sound... 4.5 cuft, 33hz tune via 3 4" aero's 18" long.. IA 20.1 @ .5 ohm for power.. wow... I mean absolutely beautiful.... box in car plays within 1db from 28-44hz, -3 pt of 22hz, and 55hz on the top end... great response IMO... of course the first play was with test tones.... cause I can't s…

ok my friend will build me a box in his wood shop but i need to get him plans. SI 15 MAG, ported. what do you think of the aeroports? is it worth it for only $25 extra? most people use 2 of them at $12 each. power will be a hifonics ZEUS 1000D 1000@1ohm it is a lexus 2002 es300. should be the same as the new camrey. people have put 2 15 in there before with a almsot bent box. i only need 1. the red strap is what i will be using to hold the sub in place, i would also love there to be ehough room to put my trunk battey next to the box. it is 6.5 inches wide demetions are (IMG:http://members.cox.net/havok/trunk.jpg) THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP I AM FINALLY BUYING A SUB TO FINIS…

ok, so yesterday, i took out my cheapo 3.5" dash speakers and taped off the ends of the wires with electrical tape. now, my right door speaker is very quiet, pretty much not even working, and when i turn up my stereo, the music cuts out in my front speakers. is this a short? i assume it is but just checking i guess.

What are your guys thoughts on the ID Max 12'. What do you think of the company. and is the sub more for big bass or sound quality? Would 500 watts of JL be enough. Found it for $358 on http://www.cardomain.com/item/IDSIDMAX12V3D4. Is there any where cheaper?

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?

how does the SI D2 12" stack up vs the JL 12W7? i don't want JL as i am going for brands not in most retail stores, i want to know how this will compare SAME POWER ON BOTH. i have seen people post on other forums and they compare one to another but the power is differnt.

alright, so i finished up my box last night, and got it installed this morning. the box seemed heavier than what i expected, so after i put the sub in, i weighed it. it came in at 64 pounds. not a lot since the sub is like 20 pounds, but that box seemed heavy. on to business now....so far it sounds great. i could not believe how much of a difference the box made. it hits real hard, gets pretty damn loud, and holy chit LOW. it doesnt do any flexing, but when it hits, it moves the whole windshield at the top seam and the same with the back windshield. i can't get my rear view mirror to stay put and it is shaking my headliner. i dont have any rattles other than the bladder …

right now i have 2 12" alpine type-r's powered by a Viper 1200d amp. They are in a small sealed box. Would a 12" mag be better. i am looking for sound quality mostly, and spl only secondly. in a 01 jetta.

i have a 2002 lexus es300 same trunk and the new camrey i think. i'm thinking ported, tuned to somewhere around 28 or so. i have no idea really i'm not a box guy at all. same tuning if i use 2? i have a hifonics zues 1000d that does 1000@1ohm i want clean sound but i want lots of bass when the right song comes on so i can crank it. would it be better to get 1 or 2. if i get 2 can i get a better amp in lets say 6 months? us amps 1500@1ohm? i was going to get 1 but i see people posting about 450 watts on 1. will 1 sound cleaner then 2 at 1000@1ohm? how muhc louder will 2 be then 1? sorry for all the ? but i want to amke 100% sure what i'm doing. can i buy box plans from…

I'm thinking about buying 2 of these subs, any opinions on them? What are they comparable too? Im getting them for only $200 a peice, they will be replacing 2 06 l7's. http://www.adleraudio.com/web/mdl/3XL-12D/detail.asp
