Subwoofers / Speakers

ok so ive had my comps in for about a week now and today i just now noticed that there are holes in the door from the stock speakers.Would that be messing with my sound quality at all cause there are like 4 holes around each mid????

kinda downgrading, or just changing rather from a Punch 5002 feeding 2 Punch stage1 12" i wanna get one sub probably in a sealed box to be fed by the 5002 im looking for sq over spl, so like a more sq side LSQ sub is what im looking for. preferably <$200. the p5002 amp can do 500Wx1 @4-ohm bridged, basically 4 ohm dvc sub right? or am i wrong im not quite sure how the grand spectrum of products are. in my nubness, i imagine rf and jl at the expensive and prety good quality end? i'd like a sub thats quality first rather than value. how do alpine kicker jl compare? please feel free to "rip me a new one" cuz im really just a nub at this stuff. wondering about boxes too. …

Post your preference. I am going to make white and silver (more silver than white) but I want to know what you all have in mind. Post away!

how and what all do i need to make sure both of my subs and all the voicecoils are working? the bass got less as deep the other day when i had my comps put in last week so i wanna check the subs to make sure nothing went wrong.....

well i got my system installed for now all i can say is that the mag rips apart my last system as far as clarity, and is almost as loud in my humbel opinion.

okay i currently have 2 15 inch mags on the way (first ones were smashed by fedex, but thanks to ben levine at www.showrides.net im getting new ones at no expense to me. his customer service is an 11/10!) i have a 1000/1 right now but i wont be able to afford another 1000/1 for a while. should i run 1 of them ported (3.75 28hz) or both sealed 3 cuft each. i will be building the box and making sure it is very sturdy. now if you think i should build one for 2 15s ported then jsut let me know. all comments appreciated. i had drawn up a plan as 8 cuft ported with 8 4 inch flared ports for 2 15s already so i could do that.... but what would you reccomend as enough port area fo…

Just thought i'd show you some pic's of my maggie and my car the 1st few and video are my car 2 days ago... the ones were its ripped apart is current im currently putting in 160sqft of damplifier wich i will receive 2marro ^.^ and another mag that ill get on the 27th unless ups breaks it Scion tC 05" is the link there is also a vid of the sub in there also...

There's a chance I may need a recone or something (hope not ), my sub amp has been cutting out the last two days and the protection light was on. Gonna take a DMM to the coils sometime soon. but my question is........would there be any gain by reconing my older model D2 with the new Mag's soft parts? Or do you think I should just get a new Mag?

Yep...dont claim to be an artist...never have been... But i can make/fabricate anything i put my hands one ...the concept for a little something to come here in 2 weeks....

Ok so lets say I could get a SI MAG 12" for about $350. At the same time, I could be getting a RE SX 15" for $250. I am looking for LSQ and hear they both sound good. How much better SQ would the Mag have? How much better SPL would the SX have? Which is the best bang for the buck?

I am not going to continue to ask for details on crapcom about them, so I brought it over here. I have a soft spot in my heart for round solo barics of old. I want to know if the CVX's are the round solo's reborn. I understand they are up market from the L5's, Polecat has said they are the choice for sealed over L7s in SQ and output, and I believe at the moment he is building a install with them in his 'burb. So, anyone heard them?

Curious if anybody out there in SSA Land would happen to have the old Tempest specs?

hi i am wondering wich set of 6.5 components would be better or sound better the cdt EF-61CF or diamond audio hex. can you tell me how good the set was was if you owned any 2. both are about the same price range.thanks

I have some 6.5 comps in the doors right now, and some 4x6's in the dash if my s10. I was wondering what was the advantage to getting "better" door/dash speakers?? I have 2 rl-p 15"s in a ported box. Would it "add" to my bass?? Sorry if this is a noob question. I just want to justify soending more money on "better" speakers (mids/highs).

IM buying an eD Flatcone for 90bucks shipped. Im planning on pucking around with it, blowing it, then sending it off to RE or Inhuman. RE says they will recone it with SX or XXX softparts to w/e size i want for 100 bucks. Me thinking 18" and compare it to my Ava in output and clarity. If its better the Ava will be reserved for HT usage, if its worse i will either sell it or reserve it for HT usage (depending on my findings). My question is how do you think this will sound/how loud will it get. i know the TC9 is a great motor and the OE driver has 34mm of Xmax (??) i think but the OE surround limits it to 24mm of excursion though. My other question is wether to go with XX…

2.6" deep 6.5" with 11.5mm one way 6.5" midbass/midrange good untill 7khz. The 4 ohm has an f3 of 53hz IB. .4-.7cuft suggested for kicks The 8 ohm extends to 40hz in a ported alignment 1.4 cuft tuned to 38hz. Or to 58hz in a ported alignment 0.6 cuft tuned to 50hz While this is a very exceptional midbass, the Omega is superior both in terms of midrange quality and output full range. This design was created since we realize not everyone can fit the omega... This mid also has a black paper cone Aluminum former (non hexy) Very high temp 10 layer coil (250C, 300C max wire with 600C adhesive) The Delta also comes in both a 4 and 8 ohm variety and is self shielded for use in h…

This is the Omega, the most excessive 6.5" midbass/wideband driver we could manage for the target price for now. I stress this is an exceptional driver even for dedicated midrange use and not just a brute of a midbass driver! It does very nicely down to 70hz IB in car and 45hz in a ported floor standing speaker at home. It could also be used effectively as a wideband driver with a supertweeter. It comes in 2, 4, and 8 ohm versions. The 8 ohm version has an aluminum phase plug. Here are the t/s for the 2 ohm: Qes = .537 Qms = 3 Qts = .455 Fs = 54.33 hz Vas = 45.88l Xmax = 22mm Re = 1.6 ohms Le = .05mH Sd = 140 cm^2 Bl = 2.3 Tm 93.4 dB/w/m 100.4 dB/2.83v Here are the t…

Ok well right now i have 1 12" mag running of 1200watts I will have another sometime soon i hope, just bough it Now i won't bebable to buy my new amp for about 2+ weeks after I get the mag and they will be wired diffrently i beleive also so... Shouls i just push my nINE.1 to the max and wire it for .5ohms and run both my mags off of it or just keep the one, im woundering if my 1 mag with 1200w sealed will compare to 2 mags running off a little over 600.. the 2 will be sealed 1.7 Cubs each sub probably -Thanks-

Will 2 12' mags work fine with a Alphasonik PMA1200DA - Alphasonik 2470 Watt Mono Amplifier * Low Frequency response: 5 Hz * High Frequency Response: 250 Hz * Built In Crossovers: Yes * Channel Separation: Yes * 1200 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms mono * 2000 Watts x 1 @ 2 ohms Mono * 2470 Watts x 1 @ 1 ohms Mono * Dimensions: (W x H x L) 9 1/8" x 2 1/2" x 20 7/8" * Bridgeable with Second Identical Model * 3' Modular Cord Included * Hour Meter * Remote Mount Digital Voltmeter(included) * Remote Mount Bass Boost Control (included) * Heavy Duty One-piece Extruded Aluminum Heat Sink * Beveled Clear Acrylic Protective Cover * Tiffany-Style Input and Output RCA Jacks * Parallel Line-out …

Well my GF's mom is getting her tax check soon which measn im going to be planning their systems soon. Her moms system is pretty cut and dry. Either cheaper ocmponets up fron in pods and coax's in the rear or coax's all aroudn and an RL-I 8 or 10 for the sub. My GF's car, however, im not sure. i was going to give her my audiobahn 10's and put them in a wicked one...but i found a buyer. Soooo im thinking about getting her 2 RLi 8's or 10's and putting them in a wicked one. However she wants to keep her trunk space so my idea is this. Seal the trunk off from teh cabbin and put the opening of the wicked one facing up on the rear deck and put an acoustically tansparrent fabr…

SO I go to investigate and she's crying. "Feed me," she says. "I cannot survive on these measly shreds of RF garnishing." This brings tears to my eyes! I must find some food or baby will suffer in agony. My hunt begins! I search for months for a solution to her starvation and she grows weary every day. Then one day I stumble upon the tax man. "Here some money from Uncle Sam my friend. Take this now as I will be collecting more next year." Thanks Uncle Sam! What would I do without you??! So I run home in the excitement, eager to please my baby and feed her so she can grow to be a Strong and Powerful Mag. A couple weeks pass and the little one has been anticip…

Hey everyone, I should be getting my 12" D2 soon and I wanted to ask a couple questions about boxes and powering it. I'm looking for more SQ than SPL, clean loud low-end thump is what im looking for Now as far as power is concerned I can push it with either a JBL1200.1 or a Orion 2500. I was thinking 2^3 sealed pumping it with the Orion OR 3^3 ported tuned to ~25hz pushed by the JBL. Anyone have any opinions on the subject? I have a feeling I'm gonna need to buy another D2 to get what I'm looking for. TIA

I've been too busy to put my mag 15 in my 3.7cf tuned to 27hz box that my friend built.I am picking the box up in 2 days and was wondering,when i asked my friend the size of the box he built and he told me 3.7cf, but when i asked him if it's tuned to 27 hz he said theres 25sq inches of port.Does that sound like it's tuned to 27hz?

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.
