Subwoofers / Speakers

Welp, ive decided to ge rid of the chitty MDF look in my truck but all the funky bends in my ports is cutting back on my potential SPL and probably is adding a little noise at high levels though i cant detect it because of rattleing....so ive devided, new enclosure time while im sintalling some SPectrum and Damplifier in my truck along with some open celled acoustical foam (cheap stuff, not Second Skin's stuff) foam between the back metal and the plastic interior panel to help trap waves in that little area and padd the smacking between the metal and the plastic. ive told you all that because i want to eliminate any possible port noises and gain SPL by having the least am…

well basically i LOVE my 16o.v2 but it just friied on me and well i want to try somthing new ,my amp fried as well i will put the mag in a sealed box ,i will have a 9.1 to power it ,900w @2ohm 1200w @1 ohm the o.v2 got 900w and was in 1.8 cubes and it rocked my world and sounded freakin awesome to me ,so smooth punchy and blended well basically what will i gain if i switch to a 15" magnum i listen to EVERYTHING ,i want the loudest SQ possible thanks

Well were do i start... lets see i currently have a nINE.1 running my 12" mag d2... this month i will be ripping my car apart to deaden it >_< that mag rattles my car like crazy... anyways... im thinking of getting another 12" mag for sure also i have the thought of possibly getting a total of 4 and just taking my rear seats out but my main question is should i get new amps when i get my other mag or if i go with the 4 should i change my amps out?? or just buy some more nINE.1's this wont be for like 2-3months because 3 mags arnt cheap plus the cost of amps...

OK, well I'm looking to buy a SI Magnum 12, and I have a problem picking an amp. I have Directed 1500D that does around 1100 watts at 1 ohm, but I was looking at the Crossfire VR600D that does 600 watts at 1 ohm. I'm looking at putting the sub in around 1.75 cubes at 30hz. Which amp should I use and why? And any recommendations on the box size and tuning?

Ok well i extended the end date to the middle of Feb. All orders must be in by Feb 15th. I have so far 8 drivers of the 6.5s. Here's the info i posted earlier: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok well here's the thread. Its for Tang Band 6.5 and 8in subwoofers. Must have a total minimum of 20 or more of any driver sold in the group buy. if 20 or more aren't bought, these prices will not apply but i can still get you them. Sorry the 5.25s are out of stock until April or so. If interested in plate amps please PM me and we will see about pricing on it. 100% of the order can either be paid at time of signing up or by the 15th of…

One Mag 12 or Mag 15? i can't decide, i want SQ and not something too crazy but since this is a demo i'd like to have alittle show. Also what is the depth of the sub? Is the Mag 15 8in deep? or is that the 12?

will they ever be Components again? jamie

Well after running my 15" mag for a while I noticed recently that it seemed like it was running out of juice when I'd turn it up. It was like it wanted to get louder but couldn't. My lights at night seemed to dim really bad. Then a few days ago I go to turn my car on and the battery is almost completely dead and the engine won't turn over. I didn't leave any electrical on overnight. I got a jump and the battery seemed to work to start the car two more times that day but I left my stereo off so there was no strain on the electrical system. I lifted the battery out to replace it and there was a large puddle of battery acid in the battery tray. I had to use all kinds …

Two magnum 15s on credit? :-D. I got the box built today... 7ft^3 NET 98in^2 Port Area ~33hz tuning Got the amp installed also, IA 20.1 :-D I just need a pair of Mag 15s to appear at my doorstep

SI is doing a system in a customers house and we ordered the 9" Sunfire Jr subwoofer for this application (cost and size). For those of you who don't know what a Sunfire Jr is, it is an 8" driver with an 8" PR and a 1400 watt amplifier all inside a 9" cube that is finished beautifully (a deep deep deep red - almost black - wood laquered finish)! We hooked it up next to the line arrays and this little sucker wangs HARD! On normal music it kept up with the line arrays just fine - ample bass all the way around, fairly tight...actually pretty darned tight for an out-of-the-box PR setup. The extension on this little bugger is impressive! It did just fine with an 85 Hz c…

I am putting in an infinite baffle sub and trying to decide on the drivers. Which one of these drivers would be best for this application? Also, I am trying to get a handel on how much is enough. I made a pair of Housewreakers by Decware several years ago and put in 2 pro drivers by Emmince in each cabinate. I doubt whether the SD on all 4 drivers was even 2. The RL-P15 has a SD of over 4. Does this mean that one of these drivers is going to put out 2x the low bass as my 2 housewreakers? Thanks, Jim

okay i was thinking about getting rid of my 6.5" SLC comp set for a pair of these. http://www.creativesound.ca/index.html it says flat 65hz - 20khz. its gona take up a lot less space in my car, and im prolly gonna fiber these and port them to 62hz or so to bring up that midbass freq. will this actually play down to 65hz? 80 even?

So I've been slammed (as usual) so without typing for an hour or more about what I've been doing I'll put it simply: My car got in a fight with a curb, the curb won, the car is fixed (all right side lower control arms, front rotor, lower ball joint on pass and steering ball joint on driver side were all replaced b/c of the accident and I installed new shocks all the way around while tearing the car apart). Secondly, my dad and I are installing 4 Mag 15's in our celing. That's right, four (4) Mag 15's in an IB install. Check out the pics. We're not done yet b/c I busted a hole in one surround (one hand drilling while supporting myself and dad holding the woofer in pla…

You're 7 years older than me.... doesn't sound like alot... but it is

I'm considering buying a used Rl-i 12" to use in my '93 Nissan Altima. I've run an Ascendant Audio Atlas12" (now part of a set in my work van) as well as a Memphis PR12 and currently, an MClass12" (Memphis also). I'm using a smallish 1.2cf sealed box w/o any fill and have a USAcoustics2100 (300x1 @4ohm/12.9v). The MClass has pretty good SQ but lacks output (not as loud as the PR IMO). What is the VC configuration of the older RL-i 12 and would the power I have be enough to be happy with it or does it require more? Any box sizes that would work better sealed? How does it compare w/the subs I mentioned if any of you have owned or heard them? Thanks!! Jeremy

hello. i`m thinking about the box and not sure what size ports would be oki. i got everything from 6" to 14" tubes with nice flares to use.. there`s about 16cuft total for the box (-spacesaver..18cuft max) they say, but have to calculate myself.. i just got the car.. they say also bigger the better (on music) but i would say it gotta stop sometime.. anyone got 3 of these 15" thingys in a wall, or in a car at all...? could be fun to see what others have done.. the amps not found yet, but guess around 1,5 @12V on each..btw, is that enough to do music oki, and somtimes spl....? almost forgot, the car is a ford...: (random car/pic from web, but exactly the same car..) th…

Hello, I have a few subs that need to be reconed. I was wondering what size of coil the Mags use?

with everyday household items? im gonna be gettin and inverting a 12" claw and the butt is kinda not shiney.

how many generations are thier and is the old stuff better? still use tc9 motor? how much are they new?

I am wondering about name infringement, but I am assuming RE and Soundstream are already talking about this debacle.. but here is the new monster: link to page, for specs scroll down.... http://www.soundstream.com/sub/products_amps_xxx.html

Here are the pictures. Thank you and ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

I used to have a 15 inch avalanche and i LOVED it. i would have ran 2 but they stopped making them. im looking for a great setup that is an LSQ setup which hits the lows GREAT. i want it to be hard to breathe in the car. im thinking of maybe 2 SI mag 15s with probably a 1000/1 on each. will probably be 8cuft ported tuned to 30hz. has anyone heard an avalanche 15 that can compare them? i have 4 15 RE SEs right now but i only installed one and i decided they were not what im looking for. any help will be appreciated thank you.

Hey guys. Just saw this forum. I'm buying a 15" SI MAG D2 in a month or so. I want to design a box asap so that I can drop the sub right in as soon as I buy it. I'm going SQ over all but I want it loud too. Just not at the expense of SQ. I have my box designed pretty much. I was going to go 3 cu ft. And here is my question: for a sealed enclosure with a min of 1000wrms and maybe up to 1200wrms in a TRUNK of a large car (mercury grand marquis) what would be the best size box in your opinion? 2.6 cu. ft? 2.8 cu. ft? LESS, or more? Or am I on the right track with a 3 cu ft enclosure? I listen to rock mostly but rap as well. a lot of classic rock all the way up to death metal…

Remember this: . . . . . . Ohh. Two Largish batteries. What`s in here then? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BTW: The port holes are just that. I havent fitted the Aeroports yet. And in the boot: . . Loads of work to do yet. Like making the canopy over the amps & TV enclosure etc. Full set of Underbody Neons being fitted on the inside of car. The box now has 5x 6" Aeroports. Tuned to 33Hz I`m really happy about this install. I can have my spare wheel back in its original place
