Subwoofers / Speakers

I'm wanting to build an enclosure for my 15" Ascendant Audio Arsenal. I haven't decided between ported or sealed yet, but I was looking for some suggestions on size for a sealed box or size/tuning for a ported box. About the only thing I've considered is I'd like it to be reasonably small as possible. I would also like tight, punchy, controlled bass as I mainly listen to rock. I sometimes listen to rap/hiphop/bass/techno (you know, the boomy music) every once in a while so I'd still like it to be able to hit. Can you give me a few recommendations on box size? I created a thread here, but it seems to have not been noticed http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showto…

What kind of watts does this thing need to be PERFECT, i mean reguarless of price i want a perfect sounding Mag D2. I have no idea on wattage, and im probaly going with a HIFONICS amp. So let me know how many wats and at what ohms im going to need if i orded 1 and if i even orded 2 15" mag d2??? THANKS!!!

All right im usually roaming around the caraudio.com forums, but have been browsing here for awhile.... now im hoping someone here can help explain how my subs are blowing cause i cant figure it out. i had 2 dd 1508's hooked up to a Saz1500d, both Svc 4, so 2ohm load ~800wRms, Set the gain using a multimeter to a little bit below the voltage it should have been at for 800w to try to avoid any clipping from the amp. The first sub stopped working without any smell any or any heat even felt on the sub, both of these subs are sealed so there should be no over excursion problems, and they are about 50w under RMS. Now i rebuilt the box for a single 8" since i still had one of t…

Is a true 1500 watts too much for a single Fi Q 18" to handle with the BP option? I was trying to decide between going this route, or going with a dual 15" setup with a 2500watt amp...I'm leaning towards the 18 since it'll be cheaper and more electrically friendly. (vehicle is a dodge magnum)

Will 32hz and 16-18sq in. of port area work with a 4xl 10? I already have a box thats 1.5 cubes at 32hz and wanted to know if I can just drop it in.

I have a geo metro and I got 2 fi bl 18s in a 11cf box and I don

I bought an older 12" claw mag from someone in mint condition. I already made a box, I just need to know what diameter to make the cutout. I tried searching, I can't find it please help!

Ok, so I'm about to have some graduation money and I'm thinking about starting my new setup. I would like to go with a single 10" this time though, and go ported still I believe. I think the amp of choice will be an orion 1200D. So let's say I have a max of $350 to spend on this sub. My box right now is 2cubes net, I'm not sure how much more space I could get, I could go longer but I would have to go down in how tall the box can be. so just keep all those factors in please.

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?

hey does anyone know where i can purchase the hertz hsk165xl's from??

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

Im planning on getting the sundown SAX 100.4d and running them to some alpine SPR-60c in front and SPR-60 in rear. Will this work out? I dont know too much but will this amp work with these speakers?

im looking at getting either two Sundown Nightshade, two IA DP or two DC Level 4XL all 12in. im unsure of which two to choose. ive read good things about all, but i cant test or hear any of them since no one around here has them. i was wondering which would you choose? i wont compete i just want a loud daily driver. i preorded a Sundown SAZ-3500D to power them. any input would be great thanks guys.

I aquired the subwoofer mentioned above. It has a built in 5.1 amplifier, and a 10" sub. My question is, since i do not have the remote for it, how do I switch channels to have it play off the input from my computer? (rca) it has 6 channel inputs, l/c/r/s/rl/rr and it has two aux stereo inputs. But, i don't know how to turn it to the correct channel. Thanks for any input. I do know a bit about circuitry; Moving a few wires wouldnt be an issue.

would the 15pbx handle 2000w daily or would it be over kill???

2 maw 15s on the way.. time to design the box.. im building a ported wedge style box.. how deep are these subs? (measurements inside box) Option A Height:15.5 Width:32.5 Depth(top):16.5 Depth(bottom):26.5 total cu ft:6.26 Option B Height:15.5 Width:32.5 Depth(top):17 Depth(bottom):27 total cu ft:6.41 how many cu ft will i need for bracing? opinions on which box i should use?

I have just recieved my fi-Q 15 and im trying to work out the box specs. I wanna do 4 cuft3 at 30hz... The forum recommended the following under the technical info... Q 15

alright in a ported box, where does the bass sound come out of? entirely the port.. or the port and the sub.. or what. im wondering cus im going to port my box into my rear deck and i need to know whether or not i need to seal the sub off into my car also. thanks.

So I know that the output of any system is going to be install dependent. However, because I don't have the opportunity to hear any of these subs in person, I was hoping that maybe someone could tell me (read guess) which setup would be the loudest, in general. I am considering running one of the following setups in the trunk of my Sonata. (2) 12" SSDs w/ copper coils sealed with SAZ-1500D (1) 12" loaded BL ported @ 32Hz with SAZ-1500D (1) 15" Q sealed with unknown amp If I can muster the strength to spend more than I really want, I might also consider (2) 12" Qs sealed with 2 SAE-1000Ds. Basically I have decided (arbitrarily) that I would like to play somewhere in the mi…

I've tried to send a couple of emails in regards to a level 5 18, but gmail is giving me failed delivery reports.

I like for my lowest bass to be very strong. I'm not into the high/loud bass that you hear from street beaters. I'm very interested in the 2 Q 15's but since i have stock alt(2000 grand marquis) I doubt i go any higher than 1500 rms total for them. Which makes me think i'd waste them. Are the SS series subs as good with the low notes with that much power? I'm going sealed. I like the sound of subs in 4 cubes per and bigger. thx for any input..oh yeh, i also have the L7 on the list however my friends tell me the FI subs would destroy them

Set up for so far is Pioneer 9800 headunit, Sundown 100.4 amp, Morel Supremo Tweeter. Looking for a great mid driver now. I have looked at the morel ovations, seas, and the focal. Any suggestions? Budget = around 500 - 600. i just want a great speaker with amazing midrange and a solid midbass.

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.

well i've had this motor laying around the bedroom for some time and i would like to you if you guys know what it is, i have an idea but i just want to be certain. thanks, the last pic is from before i tore it apart cause the voice coils were bad
