Subwoofers / Speakers

So ive decided on my new driver set being a seas CA18RNX 7" and the H1189 tweet (27TDFC). with the advice of ///m5, im going to run the CA18 full range and just do a crossover for the H1189 until i can finish my active setup. well after looking at madisound, i came across a prefab xover for the tweet and another driver. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=8232 not wanting to spend an extra 60 bucks on xovers that i wont use very long, i decided to make my own. so far on my list are the 4.7μF SA Range Polypropylene Capacitors, eagle 4 and 20 ohm resistors, and 0.4mH 20AWG Air Core Inductor. im pretty sure theres nothing else i need except a board…

my sub smells i cant tell if it is smoking cuz it is in my trunk...i have a dual 4 type r...i think i fried a voice coil...it plays good..well it sounds good..but when i turn it up it smells horrible...i have the directed 1500d running to it at 2 ohms with the gain set at half and the bass eq off and it still does it with out a problem in the matter of minutes

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.

Anyone familiar with elevation audio's Execution 12's or 15's? how good are they when compared to either DD 3500,RE SX,DC lvl3 and 4 etc(you catch my drift) in terms of street bass and possibly building a vehicle for bass boxing purposes?

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

which of these is better:

I can't decide, I'm gonna run 2 18" Fi's but which ones and with what options??? It will be driven everyday and i like to play them loud. I will be running them at 4 ohms with 1000 Watts to each one. I want it to be loud but would like for it to be accurate as well. I listin to all kinds of music but mostly rap, If anyone has any suggestion on which series and with what options let me know, its gettin down to the wire and I need to make a decision.

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?

how much better is the mmats p2.5 vs the memphis m3's im lookin to buy some new 10's without changing enclosures and spending to much money.

Hey guys i was wondering if this box is good for the 18" btl fully loaded . it will be for daily use with around 2k to 3k goin gto itbox plan

Ok I know soundstream use to make some alright products years ago, but what about now? Are they any good. I'm looking for components. I seen a pair of Soundstream PCC.6 N for pretty cheap. And the PCX2.350 to power them. Do you think this setup would be any good? PCC.6 N-- http://soundstream.com/components-picasso.htm PCX2.350-- http://soundstream.com/amplifiers-picasso.htm

On the website under enclosure recommendations it says optimal for ported it says 1.5^ft and then the free enclosure designs it shows the optimal one is 1.35^ft. Sooo whats actually recommended?

New to site and need some help with sub choice. I just bought a '08 Silverado Crew Cab with a SubThump single 12" sealed box and currently has a Kenwood KFC-W3012 in it and I am definitely not happy with it. I have a hair less than 6.75" of mounting depth and .95 air space before sub and it doesnt have any filler but could get some if need be. To power it i have a 600w Infinity Ref mono block. I also have ID CTX65 Components and a Pioneer 4200dvd deck and listen to everything....I would say rock and rap more than anything else. I am more into SQ but want something that can hit low and fast and sound great doing it. Budget wise I would like to stay under $300. So.....wh…

I know you guys are thinking about how my radio has anything to do with SI...well, not having a radio for 4.5 weeks tends to drive an audiophile crazy. I used my Ipod with my Shure E4c ($299 retail) earbuds, but I was still missing it big time. Today I got my HU back and had it installed...well...the installer halfway did it and I had to finish it. His explanation...LOL..."I have never seen a radio with this many wires" (talking about my Eclipse 8053). I had written down all my setting before I had my deck servised. I pluged them all in and one again I was like a little kid who just got an Xbox 360 for x-mas. I am still in awe at how good the Mag sounds with any powe…

Hello all, I'm thinking of placing a Dcon 10" in a 1cf box ported and wanted to use a 3" port because of size/length restrictions, for 33hz I calculated it to be 15.3" long, is a 3" pvc good enough?

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

Anyone know where to get a kicker l7 reconed in the oklahoma city,yukon,mustang area.

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/…
