Subwoofers / Speakers

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…

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????

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?

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?

OK, so as some of ya know, Johnny Avarado is no longer with Powerbass. Johnny was the guy with the hookup for recones. Today I tried to get some XSD1 recones, & they said they knew they had the version 2 D2's no D1's , but will call me back if they can find any Version1 D1's. Also, they have recones for the ES subs, but they don't have any for the ES Double stack line......so I say, if you all compete with the powerbass subs, order up some recones NOW, weather you need them or not, otherwise you may not be able to get them. Some have said the Atomic AP recones will work NO THEY DON'T. the AP's are 2 1/2" VC the XS's are 3" on the 15's, I do not know about the 12's (Th…

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....

one 15" mag in a 2.2cf @30hz box off a crossfire vr1000d.I will be putting her in a 3.7cf@27hz box this weekend, will there be a noticeable difference?.The low end in this box is crazy enough as it is.Just wanted to say thanks Nick and everyone who encouraged the purchase(by reading other threads).Can't wait to get it in the right box and let her shine.

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-

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'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?

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…

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…

both 2 12's what would u pick guys? i want more spl and loudness than anything and these subs are giong in a 2 cubic feet ported box tuned to 35

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

alrighty... im building a new system for a friend of mine... he wants to compete in db drag.. its a 2000 eclipse gt v6 pushing around 450-500whp... anyways... ive got to decide which would be louder for the price.... i can get a single Kicker Solo X 12 and push it with the 1200.1... or I can get two L7 15's, which would be more suited for the amp... and both of which would be in vented enclosures tuned to probably low 30's... not sure yet... any suggestions? thanks -AcId-

Well I can't wait! I am finally buying a mag. After seeing the claw basket come out and missing the intial LOW price on them, then missing the 2nd gen. Finally getting a 3rd gen! I have always wanted a mag but always gotten side tracked with other subs (yeah I am dumb) I am finally ordering one. I emailed Nick this morning and I am calling in my order tomorrow! Previously I have owned a 12XXX couple years back, a ED12 A flatcone, and a 13W7 (just did sell it). Hoping to exceed my happiness with those subs with a new 15" mag!!! I am so excited! I sold my 13 to get an 18 of some sort but after reading here and other places and talking to Chad Hicks for a long time last nigh…

ok ive been using powerbass products for about 1 1\2 years now and recently ive been using the pbx xs12dv2 and am very impressed by its capabilities. 1. because the underated power handling. ive been feeding them a little over 3200 rms for about six months and have had no problems.they have not bottomed out on me nor have they had any defects. 2.they are an spl woofer no doubt.the sq isnt like(awesome)but for an spl woofer it does pretty well. not to muddy. 3.they are loud.i mean ive tested a lot of woofers.if i could compare class of woofers i would say xxx,cmpx2, so on and so fourth. for the money. actually money has nothing to do with these woofers however much you pa…

In our roto-xmas draw names, I drew my sis and bro-in-law. We cap our spending at $100, but I will break it a bit if logical. They have a 20 Sea Ray runabout and are putting a stereo in it before summer. I have an old Pioneer amp that is about 90x2 at 2ohm that I don't want and will give them, but would like to buy a subwoofer to go with it. Being it is a 2chn, DVC would be great. Since it won't have tons of power a fairly effecient driver would be great, space is fairly minimal so something that works well in a small ported box would be ideal. What would you guys do?

I keep on having notions to try the Havoc, Brahma and some other subs out there. I don't know why, just cause i like to try them. But those pre-order prices are so tempting. But my box is made for the Mag, but I don't want to use 1200rms on it!!!! AHHH the confusion.

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.

I will be updating the web page shortly to link all pricing inquiries through www.showrides.net soon. I have been talking with Ben at Show Rides for about two months now and they have officially signed up as our first dealer. Right now Show Rides' web page isn't up to full-tilt and that is partially because we have been lazy and haven't sent them more pictures and/or information. Hopefully within a week everything will up and running.
