Subwoofers / Speakers

What 15" sub would be a good daily sub but can also be loud in spl with 1500 watts?

Sup fellas, i think i might have a big problem, was inspecting my subs (2 fi btls 18"s) and noticed tiny tears on one subs spider, 3 of them 2-3 millimeters ea. when playing the subs hit hard, who knows how long they've been there, but i know i dont want them there, could i use some epoxy or super glue as a temporary fix, i know that they might need reconing (bought them the end of 08) but they both still bang hard plus they the old ufo model so i dont know if they even make recones for those any more. cant get new subs till after christmas so i need help.

Need to find a set of 12 that have the same sound performance of a Kicker L7 and about the same price +/- 50 dollars. Cant do PowerBase because the shop where I live drop their line. Most of the music I listen to is Screw and chopped and no Mike Jones!

I currently have 2 Hertz EBX-200R's running off of an ARC audio KS300.4 bridged to 350w rms per sub @4 ohms. I was wondering if it would benefit me at all to go to an Orphan 8? I'm not sure I can run the ARC's bridged @ 3 ohms, though, so I would have to check that (I know they DON'T recommend 2ohms bridged). These are in the trunk of my 2007 Maxima. I don't have a lot of space, as I didn't want to chew up my whole trunk with a sub box, that's why I went with the Hertz subs, because of the small box. How small of a box can I run the Orphan 8 in efficiently? Am I better off keeping the Hertz's, or is the Orphan a better sub? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm planing to purchase a lvl 5 15" in the very near future and so I'm working on the box design and I was hopeing someone could give me the volume of this woofer. Thanks...

Ok so my focal polykevlar components are finally dead, i got a lot of years use out of them, but now im interested in some new stuff, ive seen these mpyre mids all over but cant find where to buy them, can anyone help, or recommend some other components for a decent price, thanks

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?

sorry, fixed it.

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.

can anyone give me a recommendation for a ported enclosure for an Eclipse 8122. I can not find the spec sheet anywhere and Eclipse has been pretty much useless. right now it is in a sealed enclosure (~1.25 ft^3) running off a PPI PC2150(600x1 @4ohms). I am trying to squeeze a little more sound out of this woofer if possible. I listen to a wide range in music, (not sure how that would affect the desired tuning frequency.) thanks for the help

alright, just got a new car (96 accord LX coupe), and I am putting most of what I already got as far as equipment goes into it, but need a new sub. right now I have my DEH-P600UB in my rocky with the rear channels of my 475a powering a really cheap audiobahn (AW1051 I think) that I found from a long time ago in a sealed box thats around 2 ft^3. its wired to 8 ohms so there is only about 90 watts going to the sub now, and its not crazy or anything but it is (was) a decent amount of bass for what it was. anyways I started hearing it make a horrible sound at higher volumes, the surround is actually torn about 1/5 the way around now. I am planning on using the same amp but ge…

Well i got my two treo ssi 15's running off a us amp 2000. i previously had two powerbass xs 15's. i put them in my powerbass box, which was close enough to specs. i'm pretty impressed. with the treo's weighing in at what seems to be half the pbx's. they pack one hell of a punch. and i'm willing to say they are about 5 decibles louder. i'll get it tested this week to further persue my conclusion. great sound quality. and you can feel alot more air flow in my explorer. cheers. i'm now sellin my pbx's to a friend of mine.

Gday, First time posting and I really just want to ensure I have everything right before committing to this build. I have owned the MTX 9500 for some time but I feel its always been in boxes way to small for it and I never get the spl I would think out of a sub this size. I decided to design my own box now using subbox pro and wanted to make sure it was well large enough to work well this time. I will be using the Orion XTR2500.1Dz at 1600rms 2ohm. I am happy for other amp options to but its hard to find anything decent in Australia without forking out some ridiculous money. WI checked around for what internal volume and had seen some running at 3.2ft3 which is …

Looking at a set of used CDT CL-61 6.5. They come with tweeters and crossovers too. What to you guys think. How good will they sound?? i listen to old school rock and rap.

I work at an electrical utility company and these go across 12700 volt feeder splices to carry over the ground. I just think tinsel leads every time i see em ...i know they are too big but it would be cool to see on a sub. though id share this with you.

Anyone know how much an 18" fi ssd weighs?.. Trying to get shipping price while I'm at work because we have a postal station in my department that I work out and wanna get the estimate on our post office computer before I leave at 9 tonight!! Estimates? Mines mounted in my car so I can't weigh it ATM lol. Ssa.com even while working ftw, don't tell the managers... Hyvee grocery stores ftl lol

Just got my 18" baskets in the mail for my zcon motors and the spider is only like an 8th of an inch all around bigger than the landing where its glues on to . .is this normal ?. 12 and 15 inch recones I have done the spiders have came almost to the terminals like at least half an inch from the edge of the landing. . . Kinda worried about there being enough space to glue down properly

what is a good amp to go with the 15? i can spend a total of $600 for amp and sub. does ne one have demensions for a good sealed box?

I am trying to decide between a couple of options for my front stage. Everything is currently factory and will be doing a complete install. I have included the below information per the instructions in another thread. a. Most importantly, the vehicle you are working with -------- '09 Jetta b. Any equipment you currently own and would like to use -------- all factory currently, will installing new head (I think the Kenwood 9140 fits my needs best), amp, front and rear stages, amp and sub c. How far you want to take it modification-wise -------- would like to keep the factory locations for the front and rear speakers. modifications inside the door for speaker fit ar…

i was thinking rockford fosgate power 6.5s 2 sets of them fiberglassed in the door panels powered by my apline headunit with the alpine powerpack i can get them for 90 a pair so if anyone knows of better for cheaper or the same price them let me know

Hey guys first time posting on here i was wondering if 2 12'' gcons would fit behind my seat truck is a 2007 ford f150 reg cab and about how much air space would i need any help would be great Thanks

Not my install. I finally made my decision. Stopped draggin' my feet and sent Nick some money. I have a Magnum and a set of 302's on their way soon. I must say that Nick is very patient and awesome to deal with. Of course you guys know this already. Now I just need to get the Magnum hooked up to my PG t1200.1 and the 302's hooked to my PG t500.2. Hopefully this will be a system that I can live with for a long time. Done playing the what do I want in there today game, if you know what I mean.

I ask because I had messed a little with the older SPL's and the Mules, I have not heard the SPLX, also I am not sure where in their line up it is placed and if it was designed before or after the power acoustic buy out or if was developed by the remaining old SoundStream guys ? here is a picture of it: B)

I Need A Good Set For Around $200 Or Two That Are Around $100 Each. It Can Be A Little More. I'll Let You Be The Judge. (Ran Off A SAX-50.4 By Sundown)

I have one 12" fi ssd in a 2.5 ft^3 box, tuned ~32 hz. Im planning on getting the sundown 1200d v.2 with another 12" ssd. I'm thinking about attaching the new sub to the front of the current one, (so the cones are facing eachother), granted they'd be out of phase and far enough apart so the surrounds dont make contact. Im wondering if this will produce the same or worse sound quality than I'd get with a regular 5.0 ft^3 box for the 2 subs. This way, I could save what little trunk space I have left without having to make a whole new box. Should look something like this:
