Subwoofers / Speakers

will they ever be Components again? jamie

Hi all, I have a BTL n2 12" actually, and I love it. but I want more now ! I was thinking of reconing it to a 15" sub. Can you tell me what I need to buy from Fi, of course ? Recone kit, basket ? Is it hard to do ? Can I find a tutorial here or elsewhere (I'll try Google !). I won't do it myself as I am not very familiar with speaker recones and tools, and ...anything !!! a friend of mine will do it, but I want to know some things before. I already have a design for a good box. It must be around 3-3.5 ft3 net @ 32 Hz ! Thanks in advance for your help.

how much do these go for these days in good working order

Question. I want to try out the XXX mids, they are 2ohm. I was going to use my CDT crossovers and tweets. They are 4ohm. Whats that gonna be on my amp? Is that even possible? I have 150-160rms@4ohm, but I have over 240@2ohm. I think that it would be a little too much for the set. What do you guys think?

I blew one of my mids (Cadence CWM-6). I'm pretty strapped with cash, so I'm either looking at getting a set of the PG RSd comps or getting a pair of MLI-65's and run those with the current Cadence crossover and tweeter. Not sure how that butchered combo will work though, the Cadence rep I contacted wasn't willing to share crossover specs so I have no idea what they are. Also, the Cadence tweeters are very bright for silk domes and I heard the MLI-65's have great midbass but their upper midrange performance isn't very pronounced, so they may not do too well with a bright tweeter. Any opinions?

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.

got bored waiting for a little infor enjoy. ask all the questions you want

i got a pm from "deafdreamz" saying to contact him to order DC subs. im just asking exactly who is this guy? not trying to start a fight it just seems odd that he would PM me out of the blue saying somehting like this.

im looking at the FI BL15 and they have it so you can customize your sub but i have no idea what some of the option are that i can choose. P champer? Cooling? Flatwind? Extreme Lead? Universal? anyone have any ideas on what they are talking about when asking if i want these and what benefits do that have to getting them. im just looking to get as much SPL out of this sub as i can

Might have to ship and want to know how much it will cost?

I am going to make my first attempt at a fiberglass enclosure for a single DCON 10. It will be right near the ideal 1.25 cu. ft. But it is a stealth install in a side well in the hatch area of my wagon. I actually use my cargo space. The question comes in terms of ports. I would like to go with aero ports for ease of use. My box won't be very deep so port length will be difficult to attain and keep tuning in the low 30's. What are some thoughts or recommendations? Could I go with Two 2" aeros? Final length would need to be about 12 total inches so two 6" long ports? A single 3" would need to be about 15" long and is not possible. Would two 3" ports be better?

looking for specs or plans for sub woofer box for two 12" subs for a 94 camaro.Something similiar to the one in this link, http://www.audioenhancers.com/catalog_prod/gmc_93NCT300.html

I have an 18" Atomic APX and am about to build the box. Atomic reccommends 6 cubes at 32hz. with 5000rms. Im doing a wall thats about 10 cubes at 32hz. With the extra cubes how much power should I run to it?

ok I wanted to get a rl-i8 but they wont br in stock for a while so i found these AA Assassin Series 8"D4 and I have heard they r almost the same thing so...witch one do you think I should go with.

Hi guys i was wondering which sub is better? A 10" SSD sub from FI or A 10" Epic sub from Audiopulse Any help would be great

i was just wanting some other peoples opinions on the subs i have. i have 2 memphis mojo 10s. a couple people i talked to, said that they arent that great. just wanting to see what other people thought

my buddy wanted me to ask u guys. is 2 solo x 10's (just subs) for $300 a good deal? i told him to jump on it but what u all think????

just wondering if anyone has had experience with audioque mids and highs along with there 4 channel amp

I thought cabin gain was supposed to make a sub sound louder and play lower, yet with my doors closed and windows up, it is signifigantly quieter than with a window down or door open, especially in the low bass region. FYI, I have an audioque LW8 (awesome sub btw) in a 1 cu. ft. enclosure with 16in^2 of port tuned to 35hz behind the driver's seat of a 1998 ford ranger extended cab facing backwards. It seems like there is some sort of cancellation going on; in my HT I could help this by adjusting the phase, but i've never heard of a phase adjustment on a car amp. Anything to fix this, or am I doomed to rolling the windows down when I want to bump? I've already tried rev…

anyone ever heard an 18" brahma? Im going to get a 15 brahma reconed to an 18, with flatwind aluminum 4 layer coil. What kind of box would i be looking at? I was thinking of 7cf tuned to 32 hz, Off 1200 watts. IF anyone has any input it would be apreciated. Im wanting an 18, and i have a blown brahma. Brahma is known to be a low end monster but an 18 brahma should be awsome right? or am i wasting my money

Hey.... I recently sold my BL 18'S and want to either go with a BTL 18 or an re xxx 18. I am wondering which would be better in my application..... mainly spl oriented set up to be used daily. I must say I loved my bl's and don't know much about RE subs. Thanks

Hello friends im in the mood to buy some midbass drivers soon, and would like some opinions, im looking for a 6.5" specifically, and in the future it will be run off of either a Sundown 100.4D or a CDT 4 ch amp, both are around 100-110 rms x4 @ 4 ohms, here are the (2) different midbass drivers im currently looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/2-CDT-Audio-M6-6-5-480-Watt-Max-Mid-Sub-Bass-Drivers-/120608723861?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item1c14d71395 and>>> http://cgi.ebay.com/CX64-V-2-IMAGE-DYNAMICS-6-5-4-OHM-MID-BASS-SPEAKERS-/120608722859?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item1c14d70fab Any opinions on the 2 would be much appreciated, BTW they will be going in the lower doors…

hey i have a question i have a btl 12" wit only the cooling option and i'm wondering if i get a recone kit for it can i get the hi xmax coil of did i have to choose that to begin with

My friend is finishing up his system and is in the market to buy a 10 inch subwoofer. He is going to run it sealed and we have narrowed the selection down the Icon or the RL-I. We decided to run it off a sundown 100.2 bridged and from what i have heard i believe it puts out about 500 watts at 4 ohms. Can it be run at 2 ohms? Also in terms of SQ does the RL-I take it?

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
