Subwoofers / Speakers

as stated in the topic description, i listen to alot of rock music along with rap and country. i have some eD 6000's in the doors of my 94 chevy that i personally cut holes for. it used to have 4x6's in the dash that sounded crappy. i also put some rainbow 5.25's in the rear panels, its an ext cab, not sure wut model the rainbows are, 100 bux on ebay. anyway, im lookin for more midbass when listening to rock music. i have a XXX 18 and an FI BTL 18. BTL is blown right now so im rockin the XXX for the time being. so thats my sub bass set up and my "mid bass" setup but im not completely satisfied. there's a void. i was thinking about gettin some 8's or some eD eu-700's they…

i currently own a FI SSD15 that i have in the back seat of a 2006 tundra. i dont have enough room for an optimal box so the box is currently about 2.5cuft tuned around 31hz. i have mad a ton of different box designs and i currently can not go any larger on the box so i was woundering if i would gain volume by reconing to a ssd12? any thoughts or advice?

Anybody use/seen/heard the Lanzar opti6c comp set?? I know all Lanzar makes except the Opti line is Junk, but the Optiu amps are well built. Take a look at the Opti6c comp set and let me know what you think. They look well built. Opinions wanted Either way I hope there at least Ok, due toi the fact there already on the way Thanks, Joe

I've been watching videos of them for over a year but haven't heard one in real life, yet. Has anyone experienced one before? If so what did you think of the quality of music it reproduced?

I thought i'd give you guys a link to what my trunk looked like before the sub and the amp took a sh*t on me. http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=80156 its on caraudio.com but it was a fun build.

yes guys, has anyone tried the RE SX 12" in 1.75ft^3 tuned at 33-34Hz? how will it sound on the lows, and the SPL? how you compare it against it in a 2.0ft^3 box tuned at 35hz will the 2.0ft^3 @35Hz play lower and louder than it in the 1.75ft^3 @ 33-34Hz Box, even that the smaller box is tuned lower? On RE sites they recommend 1.5ft^3 @35Hz and 2.0ft^3 @ 33Hz why is this? isn't the bigger box better for the lows, so why tune it so low? Isn't it better to tune the 1.5ft^3 @ 33Hz to get the lows of it compare it at 35Hz and the 2.0ft^3 @ 35Hz compare it at 33Hz? this part I don't understand, I've always thought that a bigger box is better for the lows and the smaller box b…

I will be looking forward to upgrading the stock components in my 2008 xb here soon. Stock has a 6.5 in the lower part of the door and a tweeter in the door in the section where the side mirror is. I know from reading post that you should go listen and pick for yourself but the problem is I live in a small town on the coast of Oregon and the only place in town that has car audio.....well their stuff is at least 5 years old and 2x the price of retail. I can drive east about an hour and a half to Portland and check out stereo shops/stores but most I've seen only carry name brands at inflated prices. So should I just wing it and take a chance on a set? My goals are just t…

Hey guys, well i am thinkin of buying a 2006 g35 coupe which has 7.8 cubic ft of trunk space and the system i have is 2x12's in a ported box. dimensions are 1.75ft x 2.75ft x 1.42ft = 6.84 cubic ft. i would have a little under a ft of space left over assuming it would fit at all. i also have to somehow fit 2 sundown amps in there as well...is this the stupidest idea ever or should i take a stab at it??????? if it all works i would have 4000watts pumping through the car.

A friend of mine has just sold his 3 sets of Focal 6.5", and he wants to run P A speakers to be louder. He runs an Infinity amp (4 x 125 w rms @ 4 Ohms) and don't want to change amp or to add one more. He was going to get Beyma speakers (the pro series I think) but he wants to know what else can he get ? 2 sets of 6.5" speakers for the front doors. Nothing in the rear, except his 18" Soundstream XXX in a big ported box. He want something that can be loud but with good midbass. The tweeters will be a set of Beyma available locally: they get sooo loud ! He looked at the sundown neo pro, but never listenend to them. Is it a good choice over the Beyma ? What other options can…

IM buying an eD Flatcone for 90bucks shipped. Im planning on pucking around with it, blowing it, then sending it off to RE or Inhuman. RE says they will recone it with SX or XXX softparts to w/e size i want for 100 bucks. Me thinking 18" and compare it to my Ava in output and clarity. If its better the Ava will be reserved for HT usage, if its worse i will either sell it or reserve it for HT usage (depending on my findings). My question is how do you think this will sound/how loud will it get. i know the TC9 is a great motor and the OE driver has 34mm of Xmax (??) i think but the OE surround limits it to 24mm of excursion though. My other question is wether to go with XX…

I have 2 memphis PR 15's right now in a ported box tuned to about 34 and im looking for a new amp that will push these... their rated 250rms each but the guy said their underrated.. Will Hifionics amp do the trick?

which would you choose for a ported box? amp would be a US AMPS MD1D (1200w RMS @ 1 ohm).

Just asking because the port would be to close to the hatch. Any opinions?

Ok, since the FI BL pretty much won the comparison against the maw-15's and the Q (Only because of my application) And since Im pretty sure thats what I am getting I have put it up against stiffer Competition. Now I am only Getting One 15 BL as of right now. But Against the AA Havoc how does it Compare. Its Around same price range. Whatcha Got for me, Thanks in advance.

first off i havent been on this forum in a while but im looking for a new setup soon and getting back into the scene. so anyway i sold my friend my fi bl 15 in a 3.4 cu.ft. box tuned to i think 30hz. i had it in the trunk of my 95 civic running off of a sundown sae-1200D and it sounded good and hit pretty low. once i installed it in my friends late model malibu it was running off a sundown saz-1000D it honestly didnt sound to good at all. so he is looking for more and he wants 2 15's but i told him its not gonna fit, so i suggested a single fi btl n2 12 or maybe 2 bl 12's, hes not rich so his buget isnt to big. any suggestions would be great thanks!

okay im gettin a new amp today and i was wondering if i should hook up my amp that i have already to my speakers .. would this be hard? and how do i do it? any help would be awesome thanks yall..

I'm looking into redoing my system and I am having a tough time choosing. What would be the best combination for a daily setup no comps just loud daily: (2) 15" AA Havocs 320 Amp alternator 1 Sundown 3000d 1 kinetik 2200 or 2400 or (2) 15" Fully loaded bl's 320 Amp alternator 1 Sundown 3000d 1 kinetik 2200 or 2400 or (2) 15" Fully loaded btl's 320 Amp alternator 1 Sundown 3000d upgrading to 2 later 1 kinetik 2400

Anyone mess with the CDT mid tweets? Can't remember the model numbers. The concept and size sounds cool, but I'm wondering what the DIY realm thinks of it.
