Subwoofers / Speakers

started brainstorming & decided to redo my whole system instead of just adding the rlp 15's. I'm looking for decent sq but want to be loud as well. My general knowlegde of car audio is ok (learned a lot on this forum! ) but my knowlegde of sq & how to set it up really sucks. My car has the stock chrysler infinity system in it which isn't a bad setup imo but it really lacks the ability to get loud. It's the 7 speaker system w/ 1 dash tweet, 2 front door pillar tweets, 2 front door 6.75's & the rear shelf speakers. As much as I would love a top o' the line component system, I'm pretty muched tapped with the hu, 15's, amps & everything that went with it.…

Sup guys, i'm really interested in the mags, i know it's goin to cost me some money but def. well worth it, i'm thinking of putting up a wall in my car and go with either 3 12" mags or 4 12" mags, most likey each powered by a nine.1 or an RE 12.1, i was wondering how much space would be recommended for them i'm goin to say probably 2.0 cf per sub? and what would be a good tunning for it, probably around 32-35 hz? its either a wall or 2 12" in a crx style box with a orion 2500d.. suggestions are welcome. thanx

I just picked up this car today and thought I'd share two pics with you:

I have an xtant 1001 it gives 1000 watts rms I need either 2 12's or 1 12 what do you guys think is louder 2 re se 12s or 2 rlp 12s or 1 re sx 12 I only care about SPL whatever I get will be in a ported box thanks in advance

what should i do?

nick whats the Xmax of the Mags?

I want sql, i want subs that are tight as can be but still hit you in your chest and get loud. My atlas 15s are loud but just not quite loud enough, my bro still thinks his audiobahns were better, so i need louder, but still tight bass. here's what i'm considering, feel free to suggest other subs but keep them 15s, keep them round, and keep them non-mainstream, if a 15 year old will know what it is, i don't want it the top of the list is the ones i'm leaning towards, only 3 in the list as of now though 1. Stereo Integrity Mag 2. Soundsplinter LMT 3. Ascendant Audio Avalanche -maybe should be in 2nd i've heard great things about the mags, the soundspliter seems t…

First off is how i feel right now. I haven't been this happy in quite awhile (been bassless for nearly...well....its been awhile. i blew up my temp sub on loan from a friend) so...i am working with this. 1994 maxima as in the sig with a memphis 16-MC1000d. my car right now has NO sound dampening products installed as of right now because i wanted to do a before and after test. ive got 30 sq ft of damplifier and a bucket of spectrum waiting to be installed along with 40 sq ft of overkill and some rattlepad. i had a 15 from the first run of drivers installed in my car before i received my new mag. i loved my first driver, but unfortunately had some issues with my setup an…

morning all im looking for a decent set of midbass/midrange drivers need to be 4ohm though, i have about 95wrms per channel from my genesis stereo 100 for them, the tweeters will be run from another genny amp any ideas, ive been looking at the digital designs w6.5 but looking for other ideas the list of whats available isnt huge in the uk so i may import some cheers lads

Hey nick man thanks again for stopping to work on the brakes to show me all the cool stuff u have... the 2 hour drive was worth being the 2nd guy to get his mags .... heres some pics of my new equipment minus my battery that hasnt arrived yet

how can i get a sticker??

well, i officially suck at making polls!

I wanted to make use of my DD mids and put them in the burb doors. I dont have any tweeters or a crossover so i contacted upstage audio about some CDT ones. He offered me the tw-24 tweeter with 456 crossover for a nice price. My question is, will my DD's with a dcr of 3.5ohms pair up with the 4ohm tweeter and crossover without any problems ? He also offered me an orion P series crossover instead of the cdt one. I have no idea if the Orion would be better. I think the Orion mids have a lower dcr, somewhere near the DD's...could be wrong though please excuse any spelling errors, i cant get it down pat today for some reason

I see people mention their subs from time to time, but has anyone tried their components? If so do you like or dislike them? What are they comparable to?

.....so i can let this prototype have a swing at it! Only spent about 45mins with it so far on the drive home and there is a definite difference from 2nd gen and this prototype for the 3rd gen. The amazing SQ has been improved, i actually get double kick drums on Metallica songs. I plan on playing around with it more later tonight and will post review and some pics of the proto vs the 2nd gen. Good thing about this improvement though is that they didn't redo the characteristics of the sub, they added on to it. Example when the O series from ED got replaced from the Ov.2, the SQ changed and some liked it and some didn't. Wasn't as controlled and output was peaky, IMO…

I am working on sealed for my 15 as we speak. Anyone come up with one that's 3.5 cubes at 27 that will fit in a trunk? My box will measure 16 x 14.5 x 31.5 and end up being the 3 cubes after bracing and displacement Just looking for other good ideas for a box that would work for me and maybe help others who haven't decided on what their doing yet. and.... HOLY chit am i excited i get a tomorrow...

Right now I've got an Ascendant Audio Atlas 15, and about 400 - 500RMS to play with. I am thinking of upgrading to the D2 later this year. My question is, on limited power, is the D2 still an upgrade?? The Atlas is no slouch down low and does pretty darn well off of 400 RMS, 18mm xmax. The box I plan on using is going to be a 4.5 cubic foot ABC box tuned to 33hz.

The drivers are here! If you pre-ordered drivers, yours will probably go out next week. Other than that, ordering is officially open...although I probably won't get around to putting it on the web page until this weekend. Being this busy can not be healthy.

i can get a pair of koda 6.5 inch components with the tweets and crossover for 175 bucks.. i want something with good midbass but i dont want only midbass. does that sound like a good deal? i had been thinking about the rainbow dreamlines for 300 but i dont know how they compare to the kodas, have heard good things about both but never a comparison. they'll be going in sealed kickpanels in my 87 trans am

Hey my friend has 2 audiobahn 1206ts in a sealed box powered by 2 a8000ts and he had his system on and the cone on his subs were really hot. Does anyone know anything about this?

I've been in the market for some new boom for a long time now. For the last couple years I had two ten inch L5's doing the duty for me. I'm about to purchase three id 10v3's but it doesn't seem like many people on any boards these days are running ID. I do stupid things with my money, and I want to make sure these are worth the 120/ea or whatever I'm gonna pay. I was going to go with two RL-P 12's but that'll cost an extra hundred dollars....anyone think it's worth the wait/saving? I know both setups should get louder and deeper AND sound better than what I've got...but does anyone think the RL-P's aren't worth the extra money? In theory the 3 id10v3's and two rl-p…

Just wanted to let those know who have not read the thread which I replied on that the Mag's are being built this Tuesday!! Packaging is going to take longer than actually building the drivers, so the official release date has yet to be posted. I will keep this forum updated though.

Hey, my friend just purchased 2 audiobahn subs (800 watts apeice) and put them in a sealed box. He has them running of an audiobahn a8002t amp. Well i heard it the other day and it didnt sound right. You could hear the magnets way too much and the surround wasnt really moving a whole lot. I was wondering if somethin may be hooked up wrong or if anyone would know what it is?

Before anyone asks, not the Blazer, but a Blazer. 12" sealed in about 1.3 cubes with a Hifonics Z600 on it. If and/or when Jake ever shows up on here he can vouche for what I'm about to post on. Our bass demo CD that we have made has everything from Tocatta in B (off the Bass Mechanic CD) to Tricycle (for dynamics) to Bela Fleck, to Spies, to...well you get the picture. Tocatta (sp?) in B is just nuts. Unlike the previous generations of Mag's, there is no shelving off in the extreme low-end (the older Mag's would drop about 3 dB but keep that same level through the lower freq's). As the bass drops, the Mag just keeps the SPL the same. This single 12 off of 600 watts…

Found a helluva deal on ScanSpeak D2904/6000-01. Check out their prices at Madisound then go to www.pacparts.com. Click on Consumer Electronics and do a parts search for Alpine Model Number SPXF17T. It will pull up a page with all the parts associated with the sets and you will see the part number D2904/600001. It is the raw tweeter of the set sourced from ScanSpeak and guess which model they picked? It is the same exact specs wise. Just says lowly alpine on it......and they say there isn't a price for the label. I just ordered a set to go with the Lotus Ref's and I should see them in a week and a half. They don't stock them, they source them right from Alpine, t…
