Subwoofers / Speakers

Do you have to put it in the oven? Cuz the glue around that thing is super super hard like fiberglass, and i can't cut it off/

i was setting the gains for my front stage today by using a 1khz test tone, the test tone was only for the left channel, i forgot to disconnect the speakers from my amp , so after i was done setting the gain, i smelled the smell and i was scared. I put on a lil Santana to test my newly set gains out, and it seemed that the left channel was noticably quieter than the right channel, enough where the right side, overcomes the left. the right speaker still works, gets loud, just not as loud. Is my speaker screwed?? or is there a way to get it loud again?

here are some pics of the db's i got beside my re 6.5. they look tiny here are my cdt cl-6x's...they're even bigger than the polks! sad, i never got to here the polks in the car:( they're 6.5's that measure not quite 6.25".

Ok, I had about 4 paragraphs typed up then accidentally x-ed out of all my tabs on firefox...so here it goes again! Finally...my write-up is here...I've been busy and didn't get time to write anything WHILE the driver was still here. First, I'd like to thank Mr. Nick Lemons for the opportunity to demo such a unique and amazing driver. I was watching for UPS everyday when I heard the news the new SI d2 had been shipped out to me. I couldn't wait, when I received the package I immediately took it up to my dorm room and opened it. I stared googly-eyed at the beautiful woofer...picture do NOT do this subwoofer justice. The back-end is SO sexy...nice bumped back-plate...it's h…

I know that Bob has had the 15 since wed, curious to hear if he got some play with it yet. Along with how the 12 is going. any updates????

How much could these handle for burps, and are they comparable to an SX for SPL? I have been offered a trade on my SXs for his Claw basket Mags. 2 12" for 2 12" Also I am burping with 6000w+

Ok, so I'm about to have some graduation money and I'm thinking about starting my new setup. I would like to go with a single 10" this time though, and go ported still I believe. I think the amp of choice will be an orion 1200D. So let's say I have a max of $350 to spend on this sub. My box right now is 2cubes net, I'm not sure how much more space I could get, I could go longer but I would have to go down in how tall the box can be. so just keep all those factors in please.

i just put in some pioneer 6x9s in my car and they sound like a cross between a subwoofer with no crossover and a tweeter..... no bass at all either. the factory speakers sounded much better. what a waste of money

I have 300 watts x2 @ 4 Ohms. So power won't be a problem. But I wanted a three way setup because I really want to fill that MIDBASS category if possible.

First off I want to start out by saying a big Thank You to Nick for the oppurtunity to demo the proto. Now on to business. There is a defect (if you call it) in this proto. Nick can explain it better, and has in other threads. but the VC makes a weird noise at high excursions do to a bad chrome job and it leaking onto the pole,etc. But this will not be presant in the 15s when produced. So as to performance of the driver, I was expecting a bit better than my current Mag but to my surprise it was way more than just a bit better. Taking the VC problem out of the equation, this driver is much louder than the previous Mag. On my alpine HU it reaches the loudness of my Mag at …

WOOOOOTTTT!!!!! My fiberglass door pods (original thread http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=94516) are near finished...made a lot of progress this weekend... They turned out pretty good, they're NOT perfect, these are my first...and they're going into my "piece of chit" truck that I'm driving till it dies...and getting a new one With that being said...here they are!

Hey I have done a lot of research and have heard that the soundsplinter RL-Ps are amazing for both sound quality and sheer power. I am looking for a setup that will bump and will be heard by people outside of the car, yet will still have good sq. I do not want it to bump so much so that my head is going to hurt after 10 minutes though. I was thinking possibly 2 12 Rl-Ps, but didnt know if those would be too loud for what I am looking for. Maybe even 1 15 Rl-P would work too. I would also like to know which type of box would work well with these subs? What type of amplifier would work well with these different setups? Again I want a system that can have some serious power …

Hey what do you guys think of those? theres this guy with 2 12" solo x's .. hardest hittin i have ever heard.

Im going to get a SX, but my dilemma is what to get. I got a little over 2cubes that im wiling to give up on a daily basis. What im looking at is either a ported 12 or a sealed 15. I know most will say the 12 just due to basic output levels, but ive always had a hard time putting a single 12 in anyone of my vechicles, ive always gone with a 15. The only thing that is the saving grace for the 15 is that I DO have this really nice box sitting around at home that I used to have my 15 HC in. And that would work real nice for days I wanna be jut a little louder. Specs that matter Amp- kicker kx700.5...yes im well aware of the power it produces compared to the SX rms Car- Toyo…

well after a brief heartatttack this morning. I now have the Proto in my possesion. FedEx dropped it at the neighbors house and when I tracked it this morning and it said delivered I about freaked out, well I did, then my neighbor was like I have what you are looking for. They are a real nice family and that is where all my packages go whenever I am gone. Well I have ran a few songs through my current setup to get a last minute comparison. Now for the bad news, my boss told me today I have to head out for meetings this afternoon and won't be back till late friday night. So the demoing will take place saturday and sunday and off to the next person on monday. Sorry about th…

I think I might just do it when they come out.

sorry, fixed it.

Thanks Nick! Glad to see you figured out how to use the email.

About half of my active setup arrived in the mail today. The tweeters are supposed to come later today and then some more wiring tomorrow, the mids friday, and the coustic crossover on saturday I hope. FEDEX really beat the chit out of my packages. I was kind of scared at first. Now, without further ado, stick around for more

AA will stop licensing XBL^2 in response to a caustic public statement made by the owner of Adire. And their current stock is being sold at a significantly reduced rate. Read the announcement on their main site. http://www.ascendantaudio.com/

So, I'm curious. Can anyone name some OEM buildhouses? Thanks.

I have not used winISD or any program like that before. Is it a freeware program??? or does anyone have some plans for a SI 15 ported???

here is a couple of vids shot on saturday afternoon at the Maryland Hunt cup, the music is Rusted Root, I choose this song because the bass is very low, and the sub just jumps when played with it, hope you guys like it, sorry about some of the backgroup chatter http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...ototype12.2.wmv
