Subwoofers / Speakers

I am sure it has been asked before, but I am looking for some real experiences with midbass drivers. I snagged a set of Rainbow Pro components (4" and tweet) cheap and am looking for something to give the midbass some foundation. I have used MB Quart exclusively for about 17 years and just switched to Focal about a year ago. i am interested in RE, DD, Seas Lotus, or anything in that range. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Kevin Oh yeah, they will be mounting in the doors of my truck (see sig) along with the 4's and the tweets in the pillars.

well got my Si Mag 12 about 5 days ago now and it rocks. I'm using it in place of my 160v.2 for right now. The 160v.2 is nice but i'm having space issues and the Mag does a very good job in place of it. Lacks a little bit of the output i had but i think two of them will do nicely. But strangest thing is, when i called them i noticed they had the same area code as me! They are like 20mins from me!! Thats awesome. I hope i can go and meet them.

I am building a box in my wheel well. In the wheel well there is a small bracket that is where the spare tire is secured down. If I were to place a pipe in the middle of my box, to be used as a pass through where a long screw would go through to secure the box down. I would silicone it of course, I just want to know if there is any sort of petential problem music wise. See the attached for an idea of what i am talking about.

I want to have a port that is out side of my box but I also want a port that runs along the contours of the side of my hatch. This will make for a port that is shaped like "~". Is this a problem so long as I make sure that the port is exacly "x" cubic inchs? What sort of problems could I encounter? Thanks Jerry

As title states, Equipment: -Alpine 9835 in 3-way mode, HP for Tweets, BP for Mids, LP for Subwoofer. 6/12/18/24 dB/oct slopes at various FREQ's. - RE XXX 6.5's currently in .25-.3 cubes SEALED door pods. (2ohm) -Vifa 1" Neodymium Textile Dome autosound Tweeters. (6ohm) -Kicker KX 600.4, 150x2rms for mids @2ohms, ~45-50 x2rms for Tweeters. I haven't even turned it on yet, but currently I have it setup as follows: Sub: LP @63hz 24dB/oct Mids: HP @63hz 24dB/oct, LP @2.5Khz 24dB/oct Tweets: HP @2.5Khz 24dB/oct I would like input as far as the FREQ/SLOPES go, ESPECIALLY the slopes. Is it ALWAYS good to go with steep slopes for ALL settings? Is it better to use say, 12,18 dB/o…

I would just like to tell all that it is great!! Shipped a defective mid out last monday. New one arrived today. Pretty good seeing that it was a holiday weekend. Thanks CDT

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.

i need some new tweets for my RE 6.5 comps. theyre just not loud enough. i had some polk db tweets, and i really liked them, but they're long gone now. since i don't know alot about tweets i'm basing my search off of the polks sensitivity rating of 94db @ 1w/m. that is how loud (more or less) it'll be right? here is a couple that i found on ebay. if you know of something else let me know..... p.s. i only got about $25 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5786730772&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5785599027&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5785363901&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5786702185&rd…

i need some mid's with killer midbass, enough to blend in well with my horns and ported idmax. here are my amp specs: MA Audio m283i 2ch # Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz # Full Mosfet Circuitry # Selectable Bass Boost @ 50Hz # 50dB Channel Separation # 90dB Signal Noise Ratio # 22K Ohm Input Impedance # 200mV-2V Input Sensitivity # THD <0.05% # Selectable Crossover: LPF, FLAT, HPF # 50Hz - 250Hz Low Pass Filter # 50Hz - 250Hz High Pass Filter # Selectable Bass Boost (0db, 6dB, 12dB) # 2 x 100W Rms @ 4 Ohm Stereo # 2 x 200W Rms @ 2 Ohm Stereo # 1 x 400W Max @ 4 Ohm Bridged # Fuse Rating: 25A x 1 could yall suggest something? theyre most likely gonna be in the doors …

Can a 150WRMS output from the AMP is enough to boost a 175WRMS Sub?.. Will it sound good?... what would you recommend if that is the scenario to improved performance of the sub or the amp considering that's gonna be the setup?.. thanks

whats the scope on these subs? i hear that they sound like farts NO SQ what SOO ever. but i have SX15 and i was thinking of getting 2 L7 10's. but i also looking into 15's could someone tell me whats up with them?

Does the CDT Eurosport 07 component set live up to the hype. The retail on the 3-way component set is crazy. I'm debating getting me a set of these or if I should stick to Sea's Reference, Dynaudio, or Focal. I'm looking for a serious front stage (3-way fully active) and wonder how these CDT's Euro's compare the the above mentioned. I listen to jazz, blues, rock, and rap. I currently run a set of Boston Pro 6.5's and I think they sound very nice so how will these CDT's rank up? Thanks for all opinions.

Hey guys, I was going to write you an email but I thought that everyone might want the info. Can I get the mesurements of the 12" Mag? Depth (still the same?) Cut out (11 1/8th I beleive) Magnet Diameter & lenth Basket Diameter & lenth Weight Thanks, Justin

What are your opinions on this sub? in my case, it is $48 cheaper than a RL-p (both being 15s). idk if im down with the 1000w rms though. do you folks think they will hit pretty much the same dbs in general, just one will sound nicer than the other?

Ok, I just got paid and have 400 bucks to spend on an amp and subs, and am lookin for a LSQ system to throw in my Explore (the 4-door one) and need to know what subs will be the best for the amount i have. Thanks, Nate.

thats all for now.

Okay the title says it all. This summer i'm going to put my RL-P in a fiberglass box (my first one, and yes I'm doing lots of research now). My question has to do with the compostion of the box. I've heard that nearly all fiberglass boxes contian quite a bit of wood (the glass is usually just for an ascetic front) and I've heard that 100% fiberglass (minus the mounting ring) usually sound really bad or "hollow". With that said, do you agree (considering the glass will he hella stiff, I'm going to overkill this thing). If including wood does make it sound better, do you have any rough estimates on percentage. Could I get away with glassing in and exposing a few sections of…

I wanted a 15" D2 so bad back in the day when SI got robbed Now I just realize they now produce them, which makes me very sad. Why? I recently ordered a 15" XXX and it should be here very SOON. Now the question is, do I use it for a while then sell it and get a D2, or sell it brand new un-opened? Either way I lose money

how are these subwoofers in terms of SQ/SPL i know that focal is more of a SQ speaker rather than SPL but i was wondering how 2 of these would sound with about 500 watts running to each sub. Also, what kind of box would you put these in? Ported or Sealed One more thing, what kind of amp would you run to power these I was looking at the PG Xenon 1200.1, or the RE 12.1, if you have any other reccomendations let me know Thanks in advance!

while still waitin on this sub, can i get some recommendations to the best speakers out there, Money is not an issue because i will be doing research ontop of what i hear from the posts. Thanks FoR all those Who Help!

I have a Diamond TDX 15" , in a 2.65 cu ft. box, GROSS, so it's probly right near 2.25 after all dispacement. It's ran off a Memphis 1000D . Ported with 2, 3" round ports 14-1/2" long each. According to the Diamond Tech line this is at 34 hz. and it slams pretty good. BUT , it' still lacking to me! This is in an 04' Pontiac Grand Am trunk, there is more space but I need it for the kids things and my wifes. Also access to the spare tire for road trips etc. So I want to either switch to 2-10" Quality subs or 2-12" quality subs that will give the same SQ. but more output ! It does real good but is a little bit lacking in the bottom end (because of port size) . I couldn't g…

my 2 dbx's wired @ .5ohm. playing a couple sweeps i uploaded it to google too, so as soon as its up i'll post a NON-COMPRESSED link http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...dbextreme.2.wmv

how much more midbass can i expect from going from HU powa to 80rms from a power acoustik ov2 400? i will deaden doors a bit when i install amp, but nothing major like taking door apart, just remove panel and a lil bit deadner, will they sound a lot better, ive alaways used HU power becuase i am cheap, but now finally got an amp, will be here sat day

Stuck between the two. I like the e12a.22 option because of the displacement/$ value - it's adding another driver at under $200 vs. spending the $400+ for a new LMT. Leaves me with cash left over. But if there's something really special about the new SS offering that dual underhung drivers with 50+mm of Xmax combined can't touch...I'll fork over the cash. Just interested in your opinions. Supa, I know what you're going to say Figured I'd post on here because it'll stay up longer and I'll get more intelligent responses.

I just got this e-mail from john after over a year over not selling they are finally available Hello, You had requested to be put on the list to be notified once our AV woofers were in stock again. We finally have these available. Due to a mismatch at the plate shop you can now get AV woofers at a special price for a limited time. The T-yokes have a clear zinc plating and top plates have a yellow zing. This makes absolutely no difference for anything other than cosmetics. They still come with the same 3 yr warranty, parameters are identical, and they will function the same as with the matched plating. Frames are not black instead of the previous silver. The re…
