Subwoofers / Speakers

If I have D1 12" AA Mayhems and I hook them up to the sundown 4500D by running the voice coils on each sub in series(which makes each sub a 2ohm load) then run them parallel to the 4500D would that give me a ~1ohm load to the amp? Or am I missing something here? Ive been told by many different people who are very well versed in audio that I need D2 and D1 for that amp. Any insight or help? Also the electrical is big 3, 220A alt, 3/0ga run to two 3100D batts, then hooked up to the 4500D.

ok i curently have a set of rsd65cs installed. im getting rdy to install new door panels and i dont want to cut holes for tweets. do you think installing coax in all factory locations would sound better then my current comps? was going to go to front 3 1/2 kappa 32.7's in the dash kappa 652.7i in the doors ran in parallel and kappa 692.7i in the rear. was thinking of getting a sd 100.4 or dc 120.4

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.

would this be plenty of power for 2 D2 12s. My Tantrum's birthsheet says it is 1507 watts. would that be sufficient for the two?

Okay i have a question. how do i wire a sub in parallel and how do i wire a sub in series. and how does it effect it in ohms law. Like if i wire my 4 ohm parallel that puts it at 2 ohms. so thats what the amp output would be at 2ohms. So if i have 2 4ohm woofers and i wire them both parallel that would make it 1ohm correct?

Ditto ^^

how much will it cost to get two of the maw 15's shipped to Wasilla Alaska 99654

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…

Mark, I am looking to build a 2 way bookshelf for personal use and just for the hell of it. I want to use SB Acoustics SB29 Ring Dome Tweeter and was wondering how well you think the MLI would mate up with it. Anyway, any thoughts you have are appreciated.

my friend has a dual 4 ohm old school cerwin vega stroker that he has told me i can get for $100, the only problem is that i metered the voice coils and they are reading 3 ohms apiece. what do you guys think, does it still have some playing time left or should i not purchase it?

Does anyone have the full t/s parameters for the XS-15dv.2? thanks.

Just looking for a sub that will perform well in a sealed enclosure, and take6-800 rms. willing to spend around 200,shipped. everything is pointing me towards it, but i want to double check before i pull the trigger. Thanks in advance. Dave

i live in erie pa and i want to know if anyone in pa can or knows someone in pa that can build a wall in my 98 accord. i have two aa havoc 18"

been having a hell of a time finding them, searched CA.com and carstereo.org where re's forum used to be. seems its dead over there, and figured someone here may have them handy.

i just passed on a jl audio w7 13.7 for 2 fi audio 15 btl's... i have a 2004 grand prix and i want know if i can put both of them in the trunk or will it sound better if i go with just one with a large box... i want to get loud and low, and be heard from very far away, what size should i make my box to get the best sound out of this speaker and what size should my port be???

How does the RSD-216 woofer compare to others? Should I upgrade it or stick with it? I was happy with the sound it had when I had them installed in my accord. Money is an issue.

So i have a friend giving me 4 RF 12" punches tomorrow in a big sealed box. I'm wanting to put it in my car just to see how it sounds. I'm pretty sure the punches are 4 ohm DVCs. Anyone have a good diagram on how I should wire these for minimal impedance? It would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is curious on how they perform, I will shoot a video and post it on here.

i need port dimesions for and icon 12 in a 2 cubic ft. box if you can tell me the rectangular port size and the circular port size for tunning to 34hz

Hi, There is so little information on the mach5audio.com site regarding the MAW series. I wanted to know about the materials used in these subwoofers. What material is the cone, surround, and basket made of? Thanks!

When will these be available again?

I have an 18" TC 5200 and it works just fine, however, one of the tinsel leads came off from the spider and there is a hole in the spider. There are also some marks on the coil, not sure if its coil rub or what exactly since I dont hear any coil rub. The driver still functions just fine and I've been using it in its condition for several months now, but I would like to have a sub with no flaws, I guess I'm just picky like that. I was wondering who can recone the sub or perhaps get me a new top assembly to match the adapter I have. I might even be interested in another driver, but of course, I'd prefer to go the route that saves the most money. Any suggestions would be …

hi, what you think of this subs ID-12D2 or anything better? it has to be 12 inches and dual 2 OHM, arround 400 W RMS and near $150 shipped i looked Boston acoustic G2 but it only comes 4 OHM, i want LSQ

In the $200 range I have a hook up on DLS so those are my 1st choice http://www.dls.se/english/index.htm ( cant link to models) UP5's are what im looking at Also, Alpine Type X's

I've noticed that the level 3 subs have small vented requirements. I am looking to use two level 3 tens in a jeep wrangler. The enclosure size would be the recommended 1.4 cu. ft. (for both subs combined) using a 4" precision port for tuning. Can I start cutting or is this a bad combo?

So i got my new amplifier Kenwood KAC-9104D And now its time to find some woofers. 1x Vibe Space 12" (1000WRMS/3000WMAX) 2x Alpine Alpine SWE-1243E 12" (250WRMS/800WMAX) So which would be better ? One Vibe or 2 Alpines.
