Subwoofers / Speakers

First if would like to say hi to everyone on the forum. I am 34 and have been buying stereo stuff since before i bought my first car. never got into box building or fabrication but i know a little bit about a thing or two lol. Ok my lasst set up was a single ssd 15" powered by a Memphis 400watt 2 channel amp...i know not enough juice by the us amps i had been running fried. Well i sold that a few years ago and looking into buying a new set up for my 08 gmc envoy. Its not going to be for competing unless some little punk tries being stupid and i have to show off a bit. But i am needing help on a choice. i am trying to decide between 4 different subs right now. all are du…

i dont know what ive been hearing is true or not, but, the Entasi woofer-same or not the same as a mag 12? besides cosmetics of course al

Hey you owners, lol. I need to know what is the mounting depth of JUST the magnet itself. The website says 8" for the whole subwoofer but i am designing my wall and need to draw out the magnet so i can properly run allthread without running into the magnets. So... just the magnet itself, what is the depth? Thank you.

I need to build me a new Box for my Mag 15 (sorry for your loss Nick hope everything is replacable). What size should I go with ?? It is in a 2.0cuft sealed box now and I think that is a little to small for it.

I'm redoin my setup this year and want to see if any of you have any thoughts about my new setup just in case i may have missed a possible setup design.. So, i will hand the specs over to you guys and tell me what you would do with the following- 4,400w of power = 2,200w @1ohm per amp Possible Internal volume = 15.5 Cubes! Displace 1.5-2.00 cubes for port = 13.5-14.0 cubes plus sub displacement. Baffle room - room that is capable of fitting a select number of subwoofers- 16 8s 8 10s 8 12s 4 15s 2 18s (note this is baffle room, you must account for internal required volume for proper suggestion) Price limit - $900 I pretty much already have my mind made up, just wondering…

well i will be building these as soon as i find some coils that will do the job. after some consulting i have been informed the coils i was going to use won't be optimum with these motors. but here are some pics of what i have as of now.

Ok so i have a 10" alpine type E laying around and i have a 66 bug with an amp missing a sub. So i got this crazy idea of building a box for the sub to put in there. My question, I only build ported for personal reasons but i want to know what should i tune the box too? I'm giving it 1.5ft^3 internal space not counting sub or port. I was originally going to tune to 32hz, i like low bass but i know its only a 10 and not the best, actually i have no experience with alpine. I can only compare it to my RE Audio Sr10 which wasn't to bad with a 1ft^3 box tuned to 30hz in my other bug. What would you tune this sub too? powered by about 200wattsrms. I also listen to ALL types of …

Can a 150WRMS output from the AMP is enough to boost a 175WRMS Sub?.. Will it sound good?... what would you recommend if that is the scenario to improved performance of the sub or the amp considering that's gonna be the setup?.. thanks

Alright folks my friends 200 watt fender bassman with a single 15. is extremly louder than his 2400 watt power amp running 4 15's. i think the poblem is in the amp the amp runs 2x1200 watts at 4 ohm. and the speakers run at 1200x2 at 8ohm. so i tried to run the amp mono to one speaker 2400watts at 4ohm to a 1200watt 8ohm speaker, that made it worse they didnt even get louder than a voice. the amp should be able to turn all the way up but it starts to blink the "im about to blow up light" at about half volume. what is his problem? help help help help help

I'm buying 2 JBL GTO1502D (15") and I went on their website to see a box layout. But I don't really want to do that. Anyone have any ideas or sites maybe I could see a dual box layout. Someone told me I should do enclosed no vents, but I think I might need vents. A bit of help please? Either a site that shows me a build blueprint for dual 15" or a site I could buy dual enclosed box, cheap? regards, timinsk

How would u go about breaking in the subs.I would hate to destroy a sub over this.

I am still up in the air about what i want to do with the limited amount of space i have available in my car. i remeasured everything and i realistically have about 3.5 cu ft gross to work with. I am pretty decided on building a nice baffle and facing into the cabin with subs. not sure if i should port forward or into the factory 6x9 openings in the rear deck. If i port forward, i am not sure if i should go with aeros or slot it. if i did it through the rear deck i guess that i would have to do aero ports. As for subs, i can either go dual 10" or 1 12, maybe 2 12"'s if they are lower Qts. This is a temporary install as well, but i need it to be somewhat decent. So i gues…

Ok maybe I am making a mistake thinking I'm going to be able to run a good active crossover system on my first system ever. I'll start out with what I do know, if I get a good enough head unit I can run active straight off of it, I don't need anything better than that for now. Also I know that I have room for 6.5" speakers in the doors and 1" tweets in the A pillars. But what is the difference between a 2 way and 3 way speaker? Also I have pretty much no way to go listen to quality speakers unless I want to drive about 3 hours to the only decent car audio store around. So I know you are all going to say that I need to hear them myself to decide but that is just out of the…

I have one Revo that should be here Friday and want to get another as soon as I can, I was going to put each sub in its own ported camber. Plans for the box size it 4.75 cu.ft. after port and sub(when I find out what that is) at 30 hz. I was wondering the diferences of port placement would make a big difference. The ports would either be placed one at each end of both comming out in the middle next to eachother. These are going into a dodge ram extended cab (rear seat gone of course). The subs and ports fireing up. If anyone has any suggestions with the box size or port I would love to hear them. Also do these subs like lots of port? Is 70 cu.in to big for each sub…

I have 2 Fi ssd 12's that gave up on me finally. I was wondering what would be the best way to get them reconed? I have a Memphit The Mojo MC200D Amp it is 2000X1 at 2 ohm rms. Would I want to get the dual 2ohm or the dual 1ohm to run to this amp?

I recently burnt one of the leads on my sub. is soldering the wires back together the best way to fix it? if not what is the best way?

i had a guy offer me his sa-15 (with or without box) and 2 rolls of audio wrap (15"x10' each) and some pieces of second skin damplifier pro and maybe a little bit of cash for my xl 12 (without box). is it worth it? can i flip the sub for some quick cash while using the deadener in my truck? if so or not so, how much would everything be worth that he is trading me?

My friend is looking for a new set of 6.5" mids. He is restricted to 2 3/8" mounting depth. Any suggestions for mids or component sets with this restriction? Price is pretty much no object (within reason).

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.

Hey guys, I just registered on the forum, it looks cool. I frequent some other car audio forums and I heard this place was cool so I decided to check it out. Anyways, on to the question: I currently run a DD 9515 on an American Bass 3000 watt amp. I'm thinking of switching to a more SQ based system (the DD sounds great but they are not the best at hitting the lows below 40 hz or so). So, I'm looking into maybe 2 Fi Q 15"s, but I want the new system to at least be as loud as my DD while gaining a little in the SQ department. The Qs would be run off the same amp getting 1500 each, and I would get their upgrade for power handling (forget what it's called). So whats your opin…

I am running an Audioque 3500d.1 to 2 DD3512e d4, if I run both pos and neg wire (with 8 ga.)one direct to each woofer (parallel) will this get me a little more wattage to each woofers? Currently I am running just one pos and neg wire (12 ga.)to the box and the woofer are ran parallel from there.

Im looking at some of the Audio Pulse (www.audiopulse.com) subwoofers and am just curious if anyone here has ever had one or knows somebody with one. Im just curious as to the quality and checking to see if there worth using or not? These are the ones im specifically looking at getting here.

Hi i new to the forum and the reason why im posting this is because i cant figure out which sub fit my needs..... I want a sub that has good sound quality so i was looking at the FI Q but i also want a sub that can hit hard as well... this is going in the trunk of a honda civic and im shooting for a size 15 maybe 2 15 but im not sure if 2 can fit in the trunk... also can anybody help me on considering good components...

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.

i was searching around and i ran across the mag i heard it get loud sound good and only need less than 2 cubic ported so now i can have my four 15's:D now i guess i can have my cake and eat it too lol....anyone have any experience with the older versions?
