Subwoofers / Speakers

hey guys! I have your typical question for sub comparions again. Im looking at comparing the DC Lab LVL 4 15" subwoofer vs. 18" BL Here are the specs: I have a maximum of 5.5ish cu. ft possible for the subs. I'd run the BL in 5.5 cu ft and the LVL 4 in around 4ish maybe tune them to around...35Hz or so. I have a JBL BP1200.1 to power them. So around...1100 to 1200 watts per sub. The BL would be Fully loaded for daily driving. what do you guys think would perform better in comparison to SPL ouputs? Im thinking the SQ will be around the same maybe? lemme know if you guys have any ideas! I know the sub comparisons are always hard because of all the variables

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.

Well I have my sub and everything with that taken care of and now im to the door speakers. i want a set of 2 way components but am kind of in the dark as to what to get and what to power them with. Im a just outa HS so i dont have alota money but i can always come up with it. I guess in the end is what can i get thats ganna give me the best bang for my buck?

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…

well once again my XXX isnt happy, it made its little popping noise again. well i was driving home listening to it on 18/40 and thought i heard it stop for a sec and start backwell song pauses in bass lines any way but it quit and kicked back on i think so i lowered it down to abou 11/40, 5 mins later it poped again , it isnt really loud now like it was a few weeks back when it popped, but i assumed it was a voltage problem then, but it wasnt even up loud now i was using a zen micro mp3 player and a fm transmitter because my adapter for rca is setting in front seat waiting for me to put it in, so it isnt as loud as it can be, now here are some things that could be wrong..…

What 15" sub would be a good daily sub but can also be loud in spl with 1500 watts?

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 ive got a rf t10001bd that does 1633 watts rms at 1 oh and 1110 at 2 ohm. i also have a 2.5 cubic ft per side ported box tuned to 35-38 hz. the subs i have now are rf's t112d4. one of them blew for supposively no aparent reason at all so i replaced it. now the other one blew and yet again no reason. so i was thinking of switching brands. i have heard about the fi's, and just wondering what ones to really look at. i was thinkin the bl or the q series. im mostly spl but want it to sound good too. and if i do end up getting some, what ohm load should i get? and how would i wire them to 1ohm or above? Thanks.

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…

Please read and abide by the rules. Thank You.

So - I have been askin about 6x9's because I thought I blew mine up - however - come to find out , one of the channels on the stereo actually went - somehow the rear left channel is messed up - I switched to my other deck , and everything sounds beautiful again ... thanks for your opinions everyone , greatly appreciated. Has anyone else ever had a problem like this ?

What tweeters to match MBQuart RSD-216 woofer? I'm tired of the ear bleeding sound of the titanium tweeter that I have. What tweeter should I replace it with?

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

Is it possible to build a fiberglass enclosure out of your whole trunk? I have 2 subs that need 6cft each but my trunk only holds 13cft .Right now my box only has 3.2cft each chamber.so it about half of the correct spec. it slams but it the biggest box i could jam into my trunk. looking for alt to keep both subs.

which of these will have better spl out of the group. going to be in a ported box. subs up ports back. i listen to all rap. 2 12'' SSA Icon (2000 RMS) 2 12'' Fi SSD (dont know what they can handle) 2 12'' Audioque SD2.5(2000 RMS) thanks for your input

I am looking at going from 2 alpine type x tens to some 8's anyone have any sugestions. I wanted some SS Rl-I 8's but they are out of stock.

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.

hey, i bought a fi bl 15 with the flatwind, cooling, and daily options. I am tryin to decide between 2 amps. Rockford t1000-1bd or t1500-1bd. They're both the new '09 edition. any suggestions? thanks

SPL Tuning In most vehicles resonant frequencies have little effect. It tends to be the general transfer function which dominates. Your best bet is to try to map this by measuring the response of a box in and out of the car on a meter. Getting 8-10 dB extra isn't easy, and without a meter it would be very difficult indeed as testing can't be done as effectively. If you can find the right note to play with the current setup (I'm assuming you're not sure of this at the moment) you can typically gain about 2dB, it can be frightening how fast it drops off from the peak value in some cases. With your current box, if possible experiment with aiming it in different directions at…
