Subwoofers / Speakers

As the topic says I just got my first SD12 and had 2 questions First: rms is 500 watts is that total or per coil? Second: do I have to break the sub in or just fire it up and go to town? Thx for the input guys

At the moment i have a JBL GTO 1514. But thats not good enough (for me) so i was thinking of getting 2x12 inch woofers. They have many deals and brand names i haven't ever heard. Like: BassX BW-500X Boschmann V1240XYB (my friend has one, sounds pretty good) Mystery MJS 12F Ground Zero GZTW 30T (i have heard something about that) Fusion EN-SW12ES Anyone can tell something about these or has any suggestions ?

what do you think of this as a midbass silver flute very flat from 50-500hz incredible senstivity and i cant complain about the price.

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 …

So I'm thinking of getting the Lvl 4 12" for my single cab and have designed this Downfiring Enclosure with Port up enclosure. Box is 2.00 Cu. Ft. tuned to 35 Hz. (After Wood & Port Displacement).26 Sq Inches of Port, 21 inches in length. The Website says it recommends 1.5^3 Ported and 2.0^3 For SPL. Does this box look alright.?? Do you guys think 2 Cubes is enough?(If not I think I can squeeze out more space somewhere.) I also wanted to know what the sub displacement is for the Level 4 12"? Thanks, Danny

I am Looking to buy Fusion PP-FR6920 and i was just wondering if anyone has dealt with fusion or knows if there a quality company?

I want these: http://cdtstore.com/cl_series/cl60.htm Do I have to buy 2 sets? I'm a little confused as to how to purchase this. If I choose quantity of 1, does that mean I just get 1 6.5, tweeter and xover? So would I have to choose a quantity of 2?

how much power can they handle daily?

Rec'd my Xcon 10D2 back in October and finally got the car install done yesterday and all I can say is ....Damn . I have the Xcon in a 1.2cuft^3 sealed box and it sounds amazing. I know it'll need some time to break in, but this little monster sounds tits . I replaced a Phoenix Gold TIElite12D to reduce some weight, but the Xcon actually weighs more than the Elite and seems to be more efficient as I was running the ELite off a PG TI1200.1 and the Xcon is currently runnin' off a JL Audio 500/1v2. Great sub for the money and couldn't be happier, thanx again SSA.

Which glue is better to use on recones, the CA glue that comes with some kits, or 15 minute epoxy. Apparently FI doesnt send ca glue with a recone kit, they told me to use 15 minute epoxy. Thanks

I have an 01 dodge ram extended cab and I am debating on wether I should wall it with 2 18 BTL's or do a 4th order blowthrough. im leaning more towards the blowthrough for the comfort level but im afraid to cut!!! plus i have heard a few 4th order blowthroughs but none in a cabin space as big as mine (only in minis). What do i do

OK, well I'm looking to buy a SI Magnum 12, and I have a problem picking an amp. I have Directed 1500D that does around 1100 watts at 1 ohm, but I was looking at the Crossfire VR600D that does 600 watts at 1 ohm. I'm looking at putting the sub in around 1.75 cubes at 30hz. Which amp should I use and why? And any recommendations on the box size and tuning?

is it ok to use speaker wire from canadian tire on a btl 15 dual 2 or a brand company off the internet

Hey everyone. I am getting ready to order equipment for my new boat. In my last boat I ran two FI Q 12's with the high qts option in 1 cube sealed fiberglass enclosures (after displacement) with 1200 watts rms each. With that I have two questions: 1) What subs would you recommend (I have been looking at the Xcon, Q, and Exile Big, but am open to anything). I have a Exile 2500.1 amp that I plan to use which puts out 2500 watts at 1 ohm. 2) What would fit best in the space provided (info below)? (I know I can fit 2 12's sealed again easily) Anyway, the new boat gives me some more room to play with, but limited access. I know I want to install one sub on the drivers si…

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?

I currently have MBquart RSC 216s right now but looking for something possibly a little nicer. Any suggestions? Would be amping these and possibly running them from an Alpine or Eclipse. Thanks Andrew

Found someone selling a pair of Punch HE2 RFP3208s for cheap, and was thinking of picking them up to toy with since Ive never used 8s before. I cant find anything about them though except a lacking manual that doesnt have all the normal specs in it. Basically just 250w RMS, 11mm xmax, and box suggestions. Anyway, they are BNIB, and Im guessing kind of rare since I cant find anything on them. Has anyone heard or used them before that can comment if they are worth trying out?

Hey guys selling 2 18 zcons dont even have 10hrs played on them 700 shipped. Or looking 2 trade for 2 12inch zv4s. If anybody knows anybody hmu. Thanks

Would this be too much? For daily driving type of stuff? Someone said the Memphis Belle will bridge to about 200 watts each for the front. I am considering buying one of these if this won't be too much for the 302's. Anyone got some suggestions?

I dont have a dustcap does any one know where i can get one? Ive looked n looked but havnt found one

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.

I really am interested in buying some maw15's but I would need them to be dual 2's or single 4 ohm. Would this be a possibility?

Hi I ordered a dcon 12 on september 15th and it still hasnt shipped. It has been 25 days since and i was wondering How much longer it could take? It says awaiting shipment still. Thx cant wait to get it

If i have 2 pairs of passive x overs, tweeters and woofers running off of two amps, would going active running 4 woofers and 4 tweeters and the same two amps be as loud?? Cus the way im seeing this active thing working is that when its playing music one amp is always off since its switching high to mid
