Subwoofers / Speakers

my friend works for a alarm system company and they also handle surround sound systems and he wants to get some 10's for his truck and he can get these db drive speakers for cheap from the company order, anyone ever heard or delt with them before?

same sub, same amps, same xover, same tuning, same port area. one box is 6 cubic feet and another box is 8 cubic feet. what will the audible difference be? i know the smaller box will require more power to move the same amount but aside from power handling does the ability to reproduce certain frequencies become effected?

I've decided to do a wall in my Blazer for 2 FI BTL 18's. They will be powered by a Concept 2410 on each. My question is for those experienced with walls. Is there a loss of deep bass by porting toward the front vs. toward the back hatch? I'm really just wanting to know what will happen as I have never tried a wall before. I'm sure that there will be an increase in air movement inside the vehicle. Thanks for your help. Kevin

I saw some mj-18 motors for sale and I was wondering could those be reconed into 15's using IXl baskets and softparts? if so please let me know. Thanks, Ryan

Im looking for two 15's that will do well in 4 cu.ft. sealed after all displacements, preferably on the cheaper side. Im not sure when the new icons are coming but i have 1 blown 15 that I could recone and buy another 1. Any advice?

I see all these weird specs for a sub and I dont know what half of them mean. Is there a site that someone can link me to so I can read up on it? Specs Im talking about are below. Fs (Hz): 28.0 Re (Ohms): 6.60 Le (mH): 5.8 Qts: 0.52 Qes: 0.56 Qms: 6.80 Cms (m/N): 0.15 Vas (L): 54.3 Mms (g): 206.0 Mmd (g): 199.4 Rms (kg/s): 5.4 Airload (g): 6.4 No (%): 0.2 SPL (dB - 1W/1M): 85.0 BL (T*M): 21.1 *Xmax10 (mm): 16.2 Sd (cm2): 500 EBP: 50 Krm (mOhms): 3.65

How do these compare to a kicker 12" cvr? I am looking at getting a sundown sae-1200d to drive 2 12" dc level 3s. Currently I am running a kicker zx400.1 driving a 12" kicker cvr.

hey does anyone know where i can purchase the hertz hsk165xl's from??

Me and my buddies were messing around welding and wiring two horn voice speakers together Sharing the mania!! Looks like something out of the haunt... little video http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/sgunnem/media/VID_20130429_192648_zpsff6226e9.mp4.html

Hi, is there any difference to building a box with one side being plexi glass? would it change tuning? Is there a special type of glass i need to use? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

New Setup need build a LSQ system I wanna put a good system together but Im not sure what type of subs or amp to look for. I listen to a lot of R&B, Hip Hop & Rap. I love my music to be deep(subs) and clear(fs) so what would be good oh yeah Im not on a want a budget. If anyone could give any good suggestions/advice, personal experience, etc I would appreciate it, thanks!!

I havent seen a lot about this sub on any forums, or anyone selling them. i found one local BNIB and thinking about buying it. The few people that have em love em, and they look pretty beefy. what do you guys think about the Crossfire XSv2s?

I aquired the subwoofer mentioned above. It has a built in 5.1 amplifier, and a 10" sub. My question is, since i do not have the remote for it, how do I switch channels to have it play off the input from my computer? (rca) it has 6 channel inputs, l/c/r/s/rl/rr and it has two aux stereo inputs. But, i don't know how to turn it to the correct channel. Thanks for any input. I do know a bit about circuitry; Moving a few wires wouldnt be an issue.

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.

Hi everyone, I am new to here and I am looking to purchase a pair of component speakers 6.5 from Fusion and was hoping anyone on here had knowledge about Fusion and their component speaker line. I don't want to spend too much because my budget is tight but around the $80 range. I've seen 2 different models that I am interested in and have seen them on ebay for my price range but I need to know if Fusion is good quality sound on component speakers. I have 2-12" sub's from Fusion that pound pretty good that I've had for years Model# EN-SW12ES and I went with them from word of mouth on another car audio forum (that doesn't exist anymore) because they were in my price range a…

I think I'd like to tune it to 30 hz. I want to make a double kerfed slotted box with all 45 degree angles inside. whats the displacement of a 12'' DC lvl 4? what should the diameter of the port be? This is going to be the first box I've ever built any tips will be greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking about getting a 15" while the sale is going on. What are the wiring configs for it? dual 2 ohm, dual 4 ohm dual 8 ohm, single 4 ohm? Thanks

4 of my 15" recones, next to my friends 18" mt since im reconing all my mts, we blew all 4. in the process, this basket broke off the motor the voice coils. the one that is un wound came off the motor with the broken basket lol. we pushed that bitch hard..... baskets and last but not least, the motors

found this on youtube. thought it was hilarious. there is a 5 part series. this is just two of the vids.

Has anyone heard of Hammer-tite 10 second bond? I'm wondering if I can use it to do a recone

Ok guy's I am getting a new toyota tundra in a couple week's with the factory jbl system in it. It is the crew cab model. Jbl is coming out and my stuff going in. My question is what sub's do you recommend? I have the whole back seat area to play with as I will probably take the seat out if I need the room. I have two kicker sx1250.1 sub amp's which the birth sheet's say 1610 on both of them. I am thinking 4 ss rl-p 12's. I am open to other other suggestion's though. I am leaning toward's them as that would be 805 watt's rms to each speaker which I think would be good, plus they have nothing but good review's. Let me know if I am wrong. I also have two set's of criticial …

Current Equip HEAD UNIT Kenwood KDC X695 AMPS: Alpine MRP 500 Focal FP 4.75 SUB: Sundown SA-8 v1? WIRING 4 Gauge Kit from Audison I drive a Lada Niva which is essentially a russian jeep. Its about the same size as my wifes civic hatchback only taller. I am currently making a box using the design i got from Ryan @ RAM designs. The speakers that came with the car are a joke. Boxed 6x9's inb the rear which sound terrible and some bargain JL 5-1/4's in the front. I listen to a variety of music ranging from metal, dubstep, hip hop. I would like the speakers to have crisp clean highs but still have some decent mid range. (my old MB Quarts were great for highs but gutless in th…

I understand it's not exactly a fair question, but I'm just trying to gain some incite. I previously owned a 12" Type R, ran 500 rms to it in a custom made sealed box of optimum size. (got stolen) Which setup do you guys think would put out the same amount of spl as it at 500 rms; A 12" Fi Q sealed, 12" Fi Q ported, or a 15" Fi Q sealed? I'm looking for sq so that isn't the question. The Type R was perfect for output, but quality was lacking. Hopefully someone has experience. Thanks

just as the title states... seen a few threads about the mach 5 and was just wondering how it compares to the icon

Found another familiar basket, and for 250$, damn.
