Im planning on putting 4 mj 18's in the back of my dodge caravan, . im not looking for big numbers i just want some kick you the nuts kind of bass... the question is if i fire the subs down with maybe 3-6 inches of clearance from the floor of the van how bad would it be? also if i were to do that any suggestions on what way i should be facing the port? i want to fire them down so they are A) more hidden ( i live in a REALLY bad area) and B) i still need to use the back of the van... any help or input i would be greatful for

how many cubic feet for an icon 12 and a 15 for a sealed box and what is the mounting depth on both of them

has anybody owned these subs? I just bought a 15" and put in a prefab ported box, gets loud but not low enough.. Is 35hz a good tune?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xCKCxkhwB4...feature=related Is this legit?

sorry, fixed it.

I don't know what to put in my dash, it has stock 4x6 speakers, I want to try to do a 4" comp set or something like that, or should I just replace with coaxs? I know they make plate speakers but I don't know which way to go. I want a good clean sounding front stage with alot of bass, and crisp clean highs too. Help please.

So Im going to rebuild my wall, and im going to do 4 15s this time. I have 2 Fi Q 15s right now. But I can sell them and get SSA subs. The amp I will be running is a DD m3a clamped. So my question is should I stick with Fi and get 2 more Qs or should I sell them off and get 4 SSA Icons? just post your thoughts and opinions, the box will have a removeable port and be about 16 cubes before port and im guessing 14-15 after the port is in. Here is my system now,

This is for a friend this time, not for me. Anyways, he just bought an autotek SM1-1500 (street machine), pushin 375 rms in 4 channels at 4ohms. Lookin for 6.5s in the front and 6x9s in the back, tryin to spend somehwere around the $200 range for each.

can someone help that has heard these two subs in action im looking too get 2 15 Ascendant Audio havoc series are the lvl 415s dc subs thanks for the help in advance

Hello forum! I'm fairly new to car audio and even newer to this forum in particular, but there appears to be tons of great information here from numerous people with years of car audio expertise so I figured I'd start here for help. I am wanting to upgrade/modify my current subwoofer set up to create a cleaner appearance in my vehicle and perhaps increase the "loudness" factor as well. I currently have 2 RE audio SR 10's running at 2ohm's at roughly 1200 watts rms in my 96 gmc sierra. The box has been placed where my center console used to be and I really enjoy it there as it allows me to keep most of my backseat. What I'd like to do is replace the 2 10's with a single…

Looking for a 12" sub that can handle 1500w daily like champ and be fine in a slightly smaller ported enclosure tuned in the lows 30's. Looking for mainly SPL right now. This is just for daily, no competitions will take place. Looking to keep the price under $700 for the pair if possible. Need to buy them new. 12" XCON? 12' Nightshade? 12" BTL? 12" HW? I like good customer service and subs that have good information available about optimal enclosure sizes.

I apologize in advance - you are dealing with a noob. I think I want to do a sealed 15" in my new car, but I am having trouble deciding which way to go. I have been looking at the Fi Q and the SI Mag. Is the SI really worth the extra 200? Would you recommend anything else? Perhaps maybe even a 12" to go ported with? I am not looking to make major alterations to my electrical just yet either (read HO alt), so I'd like to keep the power handling in the 1000W range. I'm looking for a true LSQ system - I want it to be clean, but get LOUD when I want it. I have about 3 cubes to work with, maybe more if I want to give up some of that golf bag space in the trunk, but I'd like to…

Here is the delima, I can either run 2 15" Fi Q sealed in a 4.5 cuft enclosure (net vol.) or 1 15" ported in a 4 cuft enclosure (net vol.) tuned to 30 Hz. Now what am looking for is clean, low end bass with the potenial to get loud. Looking at both setups, which would produce cleaner low end bass. Am not looking to compete or anything, its just a nice low end daily setup for my personal uses. Am also willing to play around with tuning if there is any suggestion. Thanks in advance for the response.

I'm trying to decide between a pair of 12s for sealed operation. As most of you know I had an Icon 15. My girlfriend just got a new Nissan Murano and I gave it to her to start her system with. The 15 was just taking up too much space in my trunk not to mention I've been missing having a sealed setup. I have always favored sealed setups with a pair of 12s and need help deciding between these pairs. BTW, I may also hook her up with my amp in favor of picking up a new SAE-1000D. 2 Audiopulse Epic 12s 2 Mach5Audio IXL-12s 2 JL Audio W6v2 12s

Hey guys. Can I wire two D1's (Fi SSD's) to a final ohm load of 1? If not what are my options w/ the D1's? I know I can get a .5 (bad) or 2 (ok) w/ two D2's... Thanks

Hi there, im looking to get a new 12" sub sealed and focusing more towards SQ than SPL. Im pretty well decided on the Fi SSD 12" with the copper coil. It seems to fit the budget and sounds like it will do what i want it to. Im currently using the Mach 5 audio MAW-15 and want to change it up and regain a little trunk space. The amp im running is the Alpine MRP-M850 so it should be enough for the SSD. What would be the benefit of getting the Q over the SSD, they both look pretty similar except the Q would take more wattage which i dont have anyways. Thanks

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

Does the size of the box affect how well a subwoofer reproduces different frequencies? For example: if one sub's box is at the upper end of the manufacturer's recommended volume and another's box is at the lower end....both boxes tuned to the same frequency....how will they respond differently? will there even be an audible difference assuming the same power is being used? will the output differ? it may sound like a rudimentary question, but you won't know until you ask...thx

I have been trying to search this forum for info on this sub but i can't find anything so i just started a topic. I am looking to upgrading. I currently have 2 12 inch pioneer champion pros. (TSW3002d4). I just came across the Sundown Audio x-12 and watched a few youtube videos. These things look like they will silence my pioneers. I want to know if anyone has seen them in person and what they think about them. The amp I currently have is Hifonics Zrx3000.1d

a friend of mine from work told me he came across a really nice pair of 10 inch kicker solobaric sub's the model they made when they first came out and he was wondering if these subs are good for sq ?

I did some searching all over the net and here and really didn't see anything much on MB Quart stuff. I am checking out components to pair with a sundown amp in the future and MB Quart kinda caught my eye. I know they were good in the past when they werent owned by maxxonics and have heard mixed reviews since their merge. I am kinda wishy washy with what i actually wind up doing but i am looking for comps for the front to replace the ones i have no, 6.5's, my rear doors have midbass which i want to replace with a second set of comps and my rear deck is compose of 2 6x9's which i want to swap out for 2 midbass addons. Any input? Im looking around the 200ish mark for ea…

I built this box for my sons Scion. I did it this way so we could still use the area for light duty cargo space. 1.8 ft^ @34 hz with the port running straight along the back. It hit's decent for the L7 10 and Cadence 600ish watts. I know this isn't a killer build but as of right now I only have about $200 in the HU, amps, sub, and comp sets. Budget build for a kid kinda thing. Unfinished because I'm still on the fence... Messy here too for now... Here's the current port exit area. It's a little tighter toward the bottom than I like and why I brought all this up. I've been thinking of switching to a Sundown SA-12 in the same box running the same amp. Is the downfire/…

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?

Whats going on .. So I just wired my xcon 15 back up today noticed a slight coil noise... Anyone close to south Chicago for a recone.. Or anyone do any thing nice with the xcons besides psi ... And has anyone reconed through ssa if so wondering around how long I'll be waiting for it to come back thanks
