Subwoofers / Speakers

Whats up this is my first Post on SSAudio.com's forums. I have been lurking around for a little bit and am a regular poster on CA.com I just have a quick question... I just picked up a 12" Magnum D2 for a temporary system until the new mags come out (hopefully soon). I know the SI website says either 1.5 cubes @ 32 Hz, or 2.0 cubes @ 29 Hz. The 1.5 cubes seems kind of small but the 2.0 @ 29 Hz seems like too low of a tuning. I was wondering if I could do like 2.5 cubes @ 32Hz? What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

Would it be possible to repost or fix the links to the images on the Mach5 Testbed site? I want to see the graphs for the test of the MJ-18 that was posted July of last year. Thanks

about how many dbs will a single lvl 4 hit off of 1000w rms? (in a ported box tuned to 32.5 hz) just a ball park estimate ??

Which sub has the capability of being louder for a daily scenario, no comps? Each sub will be run by a AQ2200d and two Yellowtop 1200d's.

This is just a question out of curiousity. In the past I had a few different pair of sealed 12s. I have had Orion P12s, JL W3D4 12s and now SSA dcon 12s. IMO the dcon 12s don't get that loud sealed. The P12s & W3D4s I had were louder (I know the dcons may own either ported). Kicker subs also tend to be capable of getting loud sealed. What other pairs of 12 inch subs tend to get loud and sound good in the 500 watt power range sealed?

THAT'S RIGHT!!! Magnum 15's are IN STOCK as of 9am PST. Shipping of pre-ordered drivers start TOMORROW...all should be shipped out by Thursday. Hold on to your panties! (12's due in at the end of the week)

Just trying to get a specific size of the Xcons screw hole's. I want to attach it with Tee-Nuts but didnt really know what size I should get. If somone has this information I would apprechiate the reply. Thank you.

I want to upgrade my midbass and highs. I am not sure what to look for with this. I just want something more clear than what i have now. I plan on getting a 100.4 or 50.4 or 125.2. One of those sundown amp. I was looking at the infiniti kappas, I know someone around here that might sell me some really cheap, I guess i just need some input on what to look for when buying a set.

Right now I am running 2 polk momo 12's single vc, in sealed 1 cube boxes behind my seat. I am thinking of switching to 1 12 in a ported box and adding 2 8's for some more midbass. I dont have the room to port both subs. The sealed box are fine but I listen to a wide range of music, sometimes they dont hit the low low notes as well as I want them. I was just wonder if there was any suggestions about the quality of sound or should I just suck it up. I dont want to cut the back wall or anything, though I am thinking about modding the rear speaker spots on the wall behind the door/ seat for the 8's. I have a good sound for the most part it s just hitting the hard low notes…

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

hello everyone i just got a quick question. i need some advice, I have a 2006 cadillac escalade with 26"s on it and i got 1 12inch jl audio w7 with a 2000 watt amp. it pounds really hard, its hits 135 on the decimal reading. i want to know what kind of door speakers to get so that I have amazing hi's in my doors. i want to be super loud and screaming over my base . what should i get? give me some insight. i got money so the cost dnt matter. hit me up

http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/2346787/12 So far they're in 3.25cf sealed a piece... if I need to, I can always port them to 40 or 45hz with a pair of 6" ports per sub, and hit the magical 150 mark fairly easily But I want to try for 150 without porting

I was just curious on the mounting depth of the new magnum and hte width of the magnet. I just need to know these things so that i dont have problems fitting the sub. thanks all for the numbers!

lol silly question but do the IXL series (12" to be more specific) have mach5 printed on the dust caps? Cant remember where, but I've seen pictures of the IXL's without mach5 written, on the internet On your official website it is printed on there except the 15" & 18" so just want confirmation, also do you send out stickers when purchasing your subs?

Looking to upgrade front stage with some new components. I have it narrowed down to two: SA-6.5CS, or Focal 165A1-SG. Have heard nothing but good things about both brands but have no personal experience with either. Any feed back? I know Focal makes an awesome product but is their lower end line as impressive as their expensive stuff? I'm looking for something that will sound good playing a variety of music. Will one be more versitile than the other? Or am I better off just flipping a coin?

haven't been on the forum in a while. Just saw the announcement of the first dealer. and see that there is a new line coming from SI. curious as to how they are coming and a price point. I appoligize if this is already well known.

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.

Man i must have gotten used to my Magnum 12s because they are not cutting it for me now. Maybe i just need to stop being lazy and go ahead and get my 180amp alternator installed. Dont get me wrong, the bass still hits amazingly hard, but im used to it. So i keep trying to turn the knob up more and more. Anywayz, i thought about selling my old claw style 12s and use that money plus some to go ahead and get two of the 15s. Only problem with that is, i have a 96 Honda accord. My trunk isnt big at all. And i love ported boxes. Right now my 12s are in a 2cu box tuned to 29hz. And thats basically my whole trunk. Im sure i can squeeze a tad bit more room, but not much at all. Ba…

anyword from when they will be shipping the subs to our homes.

I see quite a few people on here running a one D2 12 set up in a sealed box and am curious if y'all (or anyone else) can shed some light on this. I'm considering going from my current 2 X e10O setup (800 watts in ~ 2 cu ft) sealed to a single D2 12 (~1200 watts in ~2 cu ft) sealed. I realize this is an SI forum but you guys seem pretty mature (well, at least in your advice ) so I'm hoping to get some relatively unbiased advice. I'm looking for noticeable gains in both my low end and that hard-to-breathe bass while maintaining a high level on SQ. Will I achieve this?

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

Dont know much about the Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection 12 subwoofers. Just want to know are they a SQ or a SPL type of sub and is it a everyday driver?

Hey Mark, Just curious how much it would cost to get one of my Mach 5 SPL-12s fixed. It fell in my box, and cracked the basket. My dad and I used some epoxy and got the basket as true as it could be before we epoxied it, however I'd like to get it repaired right. It would need a new recone and basket I would think. Are you able to repair your subs, and if you can, how much would you figure it would cost?

if i bought a 2 ohm btl would i need a 1 ohm stable amp?

Hey everybody, Currently Ive got a Image Dynamics ID12v.3 in a 1cuft sealed enclosure powered by and Alpine M500 in my Subaru Impreza. I find myself wanting just bit more impact. Im curious about an IXL 10 in a sealed enclosure... What do you guys think? Could it do it? What kind of power would be needed? 1000watts? Will more power but less cone and less XMAX be able to do it? Anyway just looking for experience and opinions on this. Thanks!
