Subwoofers / Speakers

how do these two subs compare in SQ and SP?

Audiopulse Epic 8" subwoofer with dual 4ohm voice coils with blue basket and black cone. What i am really interested in is members who have used this model and best results sealed or ported enclosure? What kind of wattage will they take? Where can i buy one since Audiopulse is right out.

I will be building my first ported box soon and was wondering about port location? I will be using a box design that i found on SSA website for 2 Sundown SA 12's with a kicker ZX1000.1 at a 2ohm load. See the link..... 12" DUAL PORTED 4.0 ft^3 t 30 hertz My link My question is , If i use this box and move the port to the outside but leave it at the same end will it change the tuning, i would think so but not sure. Sorry if i this is a stuipid question but as i said this will be the first ported enclosure that i have owned/built. I plan on the subs firing upwards on top of the enclosure and will be pushing the box close to my rear seat. Hope i gave enough info. thanks in …

hi, what you think of this subs ID-12D2 or anything better? it has to be 12 inches and dual 2 OHM, arround 400 W RMS and near $150 shipped i looked Boston acoustic G2 but it only comes 4 OHM, i want LSQ

I recently purchased 2 10" q10 and wanted to know what would be the best box for them to fit in a 2012 ram quad cab

wanting to order the Fi ssd10 sub. But the dustcap. I rather have a all black sub with brushed aluminum Fi in the middle. Or is that what it is asking when it comes to dust cap. Is it asking what color i want the Fi in the middle?

Ditto ^^

So I wanted to ask some questions about XCON's. How much wattage can these things handle? I'm looking at buying two 12 inch XCON's for my second sound system ever. Last one was stolen, but since then I have a viper alarm and a bunch of other safety stuff. But anyways, I just wanted to know a little more about them since on the website it doesn't really say how much they can handle. Also, one of the package deals on the website for a 12 XCON with a Sundown amp, is the XCON a 1 ohm or 2 ohm sub in that combo? And can that amp power two of the XCON's? Or would it need to of those amps? I would greatly appreciate these being answered.

ok so if a quad coil 1.4 ohm sub has a bad coil how do you wire it to cut that coil out? is this possible...

So, I had some extra 6.5s sitting in my garage and was hopin i could use those in my truck, turns out i would have to do some pretty major work to get them in there due to the way the door is built, so i think i will just go with some of the same size, some 6x8's....does anyone know any good 6x8s before i end up going with some RF power serier component 6x8s? thanks

Whats going on .. So I just wired my xcon 15 back up today noticed a slight coil noise... Anyone close to south Chicago for a recone.. Or anyone do any thing nice with the xcons besides psi ... And has anyone reconed through ssa if so wondering around how long I'll be waiting for it to come back thanks

i just came across these on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Db-Drive-Pt6-23-Component-Speakers/dp/B003OATLOE/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1303352071&sr=1-13 i dont know the db drive name............but i didn't know a dcon 3 weeks ago either..... anyway are they worth the $149 or should i just pass????

Hey all! I still have a Revo 15 NIB I’m contemplating making a home theater sub out of, but for the hassle of a box build, amp, etc, I’m considering just getting an svs powered product as I’m in a rental with roomies and can’t exactly shake the house down with a ported 1200w 15 inch build =D i decided I’m never putting a 15 in a car ever again, I’m old now, 12w7 sealed Ive had forever will do fine haha. Anyone have a good budget idea for this monster or know anyone in the Bay Area that builds boxes/systems so I can put it to use? Or should I just forego the fantasy and try to sell this thing? It’s a discontinued legend (budget Lms ultra), part of …

i have 2 aq 2200d amps an all the electrical to go with it an im wanting to do 2 subwoofers but its between 2 fi btls or 2 xcon im looking for alot of flex thanks for any help oh yeah its going in a chrysler 300

This is my first box so I have no idea what I'm doing! 7.573 cubes @ 34.21Hz I may reduce the port width from 8 inches to 6 inches which will bring the box to 8.574 cubes @ 28.54Hz. Input? (Will change a little with sub displacement) Bottom: 48" x 22" Top: 48" x 22" Left Side: 21.25" x 20.5" Right Side: 20.5" x 20.5" Back: 48" x 20.5" Front: 41.25" x 20.5" Port L1: 14.5" x 20.5" Port L2: 13.25" x 20.5" What would sound the best? Any suggestions?

Hey I'm new here on the forums so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section! I'm really interested in the X series from Sundown. I wanted an X 18, but from what I read, it would need like 6 ft^3, and I just cant get that much into my 3G Eclipse. I took some measurements for about the biggest rectangular box I could fit, and came up with a little more than 4 ft^3. First of all, I need advice on which speaker(s) to get. Should I just put the 18 in the 4 ft^3 box? Go with an X15? or go with 2 X12's? Whichever we come up with, I'm going to need a box for! I'd like to port the box and tune it to around 30 hz, maybe 32 (which I know is a little high for the X series). …

I'm going to be doing an install in a freind's 08 Suburban, and he wants a "false floor" built for the rear cargo area. The false floor will house the amplifier (Rockford 25 to life power 1000) and wiring. He wants either a single 12", dual 10", or dual/triple 8" subs, but he wants the false floor to be used as the sub box. He doesn't want to have to deal with a massive sub box in the cargo area. My question is, if the false floor is built 6-8" high, will it be "thick" enough for a proper sub enclosure. I have plenty of space to work with length/width-wise, but the depth is going to be the problem. I guess I'm trying to ask if a shallow box will work ok, as long as I have…

Will 500rms make a Fi 15 bl sound good?

ok so here's the deal i bought a treo ssx motor and 18 inch backet. it's blown. has anyone reconed an ssx with a different cone?? i'm looking into tc sounds cone right now (i already have it sourced and kind of priced, just need to measure and make sure it will fit) can anyone help me out? oh and the reason i don't want to send it to treo is it will cost $188 for them to do it plus shipping to them, and it's not exactly a light sub if you know what i mean

Just wanted some input and opinions !! If you were going to design and build your own Subwoofers from a basic entry level to an elite SPL driver. What would be your main concerns ? High BL ? Great Heat Venting ? Insane Power Handling ? Light Moving Mass ? High Sensitivity ? Stiff Suspension ? Thanks !!

would the 15pbx handle 2000w daily or would it be over kill???

im looking at the FI BL15 and they have it so you can customize your sub but i have no idea what some of the option are that i can choose. P champer? Cooling? Flatwind? Extreme Lead? Universal? anyone have any ideas on what they are talking about when asking if i want these and what benefits do that have to getting them. im just looking to get as much SPL out of this sub as i can

I have an old RF punch from sometime in the 90s. I tried googling about a recone but couldn't find anything. The surround is completely gone on the woofer. I don't remember the model number, I'll take some pics of it when I get home. But everything else about the sub is fine. It's a 10 inch and I had two of them in a custom box. The other one has a broken voice coil which I'm not worried about cause it's more work. I'm curious though if anyone knows where i can get a recone for the sub.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to know which sub do you think would have great spl and good sq. Between Mayhem 15 Ascendant Audio and a 15 Zcon. Thanks for your input.

i have a single Powerbase XS 15 coming and want to make a box for it but have no idea where to start. It will powered by an XTR Pro 2400 going in the trunk of an 02 Grand Prix. on the site it says for 4.5 cu. ft. internal, and a slot port of 36 sq. in. x 15" long. Does that 4.5 cube internal space include the port area, or do you have to figure that in too? That is for the recommended tuning of 34 hz. Also, would it be benefical at all for to tune a little lower, i was thinking maybe 31-32ish, i wanted it be able to play low also... It will be for daily driving, no comps at all, i just want it to sound good and get pretty loud also. Thanks, any help is appreciated. If an…
