Subwoofers / Speakers

hi, my freind that i wound up selling my xxx componot set to told me that they are making a mechincal type noise whenever they get past half volume. And he has them powering off of a sundown sax100.2 and set for 20volts at 2 ohms (200watts) now he left me them to mess around with them and i got them to not make the noise if i turn down the equalizer ( it's an alpine 9887) so was it just the speakers reaching their mechincal limit or should i tell him to start looking for new speakers. i already emailed re audio but have not gotten a response yet. thanks

i drive a 2003 toyota tundra access cab with the door tweeters and i want to get a component set that will go well with a 15" fi bl. what do yall think i should look into?

I am going to install the wire for my amp now so I can have a better idea of placement in the back of the expedition. I'm thinking about going with this kit just so it's simple. http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-AK44 I'll be getting more wire to do the big 3, but there is some odd cabeling in there and I don't want to mess with that without some help from someone. Do you think that will be enough in feet to get from battery to back of truck, I'm going to measure tonight to know for sure but just to see if anyone else has done it. Also what fuse should I get. I'm also thinking of replacing the battery in the truck to something else... any suggest…

Say you have 2 4ohm DVC subs that you want to wire to a 4 ohm load on a mono amp. Could you wire each sub so the voice coils are in parallel, so each sub is wired to 2 ohms, and then treat them as single voice coil subs and run them in series to get a 4 ohm load on the amp? Don't think its hard question, just one i don't know the answer to. And this is definitely a place to learn

OK,Ive got an SE 15 with a bad coil.I used to run a shop with my brother and we were authorized US/RE dealers.A kid brought this sub back in and we replaced it,well this was about 2 years ago and we never sent it back in(the shop cosed down).My question is can any of you guys repair this or can I get something to repair it myself.If so please let m know,and how much it would cost.Maybe if I get it fixed I could sell it and put that towards some Icon 10d4's.

some pics of the box i just finished..it's the one in the background of my previous pics..... from the top.... i know it's kinda hard to read, it's my first try at embossing..... but it says.. ryanSdime wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep...picked up an old eclipse ti 12...needs reconed. any help? not for sure what i wanna do with it...any ideas? lemme know... and yeah, it's a double post for those who don't go to the soundsplinter forum..lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

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

As the topic suggest what's the max wire gauge that will fit in the zcons terminals ? Also do you have to run fuses from your battery while running the wire back from the battery ? Thanks in advance going to order all my wiring and fuses tonight. Also the ebay dealer backed out so I purchased another zcon w cb dust cap. So atleast I know I'll have nothing to worry about sub wise.

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?

I have the silvermodel t2 and it is worn out I have had it for 7 years and would love to get it re-coned. is there someone that could help me out or refer someone. thanks for the help guys

ok please help i know im finna have drowning out bass (4 18's walled) and i want my highs and mids to keep up i have the choice of these speakers which should i go with 8 sets of these (16 speakers altogether) for $60 a set http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=6730 8 boxes of these $70 a set http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12225_...r+TS-D720C.html or for boxes of these (not priced yet) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7537_P...TS-C720PRS.html the salesman told me 4 of the last one would be louder and sound way better than 8 of the 2nd option both pioneers im looking for components with soft dome tweeters is it worth it? or should i go head and ge…

Thinking about picking up this sub. Oz Audio Matrix Elite 15" . I think its rated at 700 rms- my amp ,boston gt-28, puts out 1100x1 @ 2 ohms which is what this sub would be wired for -2 ohms- since it is 4 ohm dvc. Would this be a good match?

I have about 2.3 cuft to work with, my amp will do 800rms bridged at 4ohm, and i have 200 bucks. i want to go with a single 15. i have been looking at DD audio, DC sound labs, Fi, soundstream, and mb quarts. i am not real familiar with DD, DC, or Fi. any suggestions. My listening preference is wide. At 2.3 cuft I may have to go sealed.

Ok guy i need some input, im going to be running a LVL 4xl 18 in my 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT hatchback and want to know what config you would use on the box subs up port back or what?Also how many cubes should the box be 8-10 i want this box to play low but not to low, ie (GROUND POUNDER) My main goal is for the box to reek havoc on my car.

c ^^where they sat for some months, lol paintin the baskets sandin around the attachable section the huge ass mag attached extra thick huh? yea i really did hurt myself tryin to take this pic, lol

I have a audio pipe amp 1300 amp rated at 300W RMS@4 Ohm (<1% Distortion) 600W RMS@2 Ohm (<1% Distortion) 1000W RMS@1 Ohm (<1% Distortion) and a sealed box for a 12" woofer at about 0.9 volume What sub would you guys purchase under 200$$ Link tp my build

Well after a lot of talking with Shizzz and screwing up not being able to fix the box in the trunk (and realizing I cant fit the box and the amp and the batts back there) I am thinking I am best to go to a single woofer. Now I was reading around and it looks like a single Fi BTL 15" can be used in a 3 cuft box. I am going to be throwing a SAX-3500D at a woofer by the way so I will be over-powering almost (I think) any woofer out there. But after talking to Shizzz some more he says that he recommends the level 5 12 at a minimal 2.5cuft box. I can do that seeing as the original box was about 5.5-6 cu ft. But wondering what would be best on the smaller box size -- either a B…

Been lookin at alot of subs lately, but should i go with 3 15's or 2 18's? the 15's would probably be the hd3c's the 18's would prolly be btl's or MT's -can get recones on my old btls -Mt's goin for 500 or so on ca/com hd3c's would be brand new going for loud ladies and gents, lol just lookin for others thoughts

I have a 12" D2 in a sealed prefab box that is about 1.35 cuft afetr displacement. I am running it off of a Memphis PR1000. The subs sounds good but I think it could sound better and get a little louder. Right now it gets a little too "boomy" for my tastes. Here are two box types that I have been considering, please help me decide. The first box is 2.0 to 2.3 cuft sealed. The second box is about 2.0 ported to about 27hz. I don't want to be too loud but I would like some good output form this speaker while still sounding very good. Could you give the the good and bad of each box and maybe compar them to each other. Oh yeah and it is going in a mustang if that helps. Thanks

is there any differance in sq or spl if u mount a sub out side the box vs mounted normal. going to build a box for a xcon 18 and is it doesnt really affect it id like to show off the basket and magnet . any help would be appreciated

just a feeler to see which would sound better and best output. both in ported box, which would you guys choose. 1 15" xcon or 2 12" IA lethal injections . 1300 or so wts. rap and classic rock music

Hi, im new. LoL hooray for introductions. Anyhow, I currently have the following: 1 12" JL 12w3v2-d4 1 12" Alpine Swr-1242D 1 Kenwood KAC-7202 At this time, I love having both subs but can only hook one up at a time. I drive a GrandAm, and its a pain in the ass to try to fix any boxes between the wheel-wells. Ive only had success with one box so far, and that was the ThunderTC enclosure I had for my 5500's before I sold them. I have two seperate sealed boxes for each, and want to try to place them in both corners of my trunk, but wire them to the sub to provide the most bass possible. Either one works great in parallel, but when I do that and bridge it, the amp runs VERY …

as said b4 im somewhat of a newb to car audio with some pretty good knowledge but no hands on experience, so a few questions abt wiring..... how should i wire the 500/1 to the d2, ive tried to tech myself through car audio websites with no luck, a link or just some tips would be great! thanx Tom

I'm still tossing ideas around and was wondering which would work best in the space I have. I have 44"w X 30"d X 18"h to work with could be a little taller but was hoping to keep it close to 18" or less. I was wondering if 2 gcon 15"s would have more output than 1 18" icon. I'm pretty sure I'm going to run a crescendo bc 2000d at 2 ohms. What do you guys think would have more output? It will be in a 03 ford explorer.
