Subwoofers / Speakers

I am getting a weird noise from my 12" BM, it sounds like the coil is rubbing or that its bottoming out. It is not on big time bass songs, only on like rock when a kick drum hits hard. I have it in a box I built to try and get it to 2cu ft and 34hz. I am using a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D to power it and have each voice coil hooked up to its own output on the amp. Any help is appreciated.

What is the consensus on usability of the volume of air behind the red panel ? This a box for an RE SE 15, that should go in a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant, very weird trunk and it's a 2-piece box. Box height is not enough at this point but I can get it 1/2" taller, which should be good to go.

okay so i have 1 set of components right now and it was reading 4ohms at the amp i got another set and was short of wires right now so i just jumped off the first 2 figuring i would just run 2ohms untill i get more wire in so thats 2 6.5s and 2tweets and now at the amp i am STILL reading 4ohms i poped doors back apart aech driver is reading 2ohms on driver side they are in series running to passive crossovers but when i check input side of the crossover it reads 4ohms no matter how many speakers i put to it i even tried running all 4 to 1 channel and i still get 4ohms could the crossover have a way to change the load like this?

Well ive decided to take the TC9 and recoen it to an 18. im hopping to get the hook up and learn how to recone speakers the right way. as for the e12a coen and coil. Would it be possible for me to remove the surround and spider all surgery like and put a new on on and sell it? i know putting a new surround on a cone is easy, spiders, however, i dont know. Ideas?

well i was playing some new tracks and then i opened my trunk and felt weird smell from woofer, it's playing great but there is some kind a smell, like glue is burning or something, and dust cap gets a little bit warm, am i pushing it too far ? I got 15" JBL rated 350W RMS running it @ 4ohms 500W RMS

hello im new here my name is chad i have a sony xplod HU kicker 12 and an oldschool targa hexfet 500 watt amp in my 93 civic 4 door well when ever i turn my car on my sub starts thumping moving in and out about 2 or 3 inchs doesnt look too good but if i wait it will quite down and not move as much. now when i make any changes to my radio change tracks on my cd change radio stations any thing it will start doing it again untill music begins to play then it will stop. when i turn my car off it thumps too what could it be im so confused and when im listining to a cd and i turn the volume all the way donw it sounds like thunder in my trunk

to make a long story short i've been bassless for the past week or so so it's forced me to pay close attention to my mids & tweets which today revieled a pleasant surprise remember no subs this is just door speakers I changed the balance on the HU to full left and i noticed the bass response was alot tighter then when i balanced out left and right the same happend when i put the balance to full right, the bass was much tighter then when the balance was even so i swapped the positive and negative speaker wire on the right channel of my amp and BOOM the bass was deep and clear even when the balance was even now i'm almost positive that i followed positive and negative …

Well guys, I pulled the trigger on a 15" ZCON last night. Here in the next few months, I hope to pair it with a nice 3500, give it plenty of airspace, and tune to about 30 hz to see what she can do. The Evil may or may not have been a better choice for the amp/tuning combination, but I got a great deal on this driver. I'm sure she'll do nothing less than blow me away come time for install. I'm talking to my box designer now, we're trying to decide whether to do a standard enclosure or seal off the trunk. Either way, I'm totally stoked to start running SSA.

Nevermind sorry Mags gonna be out of commission for awhile.... Or perhaps I can give her about 400 watts to get me by. Jordan

Not my install. I finally made my decision. Stopped draggin' my feet and sent Nick some money. I have a Magnum and a set of 302's on their way soon. I must say that Nick is very patient and awesome to deal with. Of course you guys know this already. Now I just need to get the Magnum hooked up to my PG t1200.1 and the 302's hooked to my PG t500.2. Hopefully this will be a system that I can live with for a long time. Done playing the what do I want in there today game, if you know what I mean.

I just got my SI mag D2 15" from wedge, and boy it looks so hot. i cant wait to install it, (just gotta sell my old stuff to get a new HU) it is a badass looking sub (much better looking than my SX) love the basket, i dont think pictures do it justice. how much dose this thing weight? i would like to thank everyone that listend to me ask all sorts of questions about it (ibander lol)

well i think i'm pretty much sold on SI subs now. Since my car's setup is out of commission for a bit while i redo the wiring and install, i took the Magnum over to my friends who just got a SX. I always wanted to see how the SX and Magnum compared and finally got to see. The SX is an admirable sub but i think the Magnum was a little bit much for it. While the average SPL could be considered equal, the Magnum seemed to want to be abused much more than the SX. also the SQ on the magnum never really seemed to waiver while the SX had problems on really tough bass songs like the "woofer cooker" and even Perfect Circle's Lullaby and song 11 or 12 on ....(crap don't rememb…

gooday ladies and gents wonderinging if anyone can help me with an inquiry i have. i plan on buying a single 15" mag when they arrive (preorder) and am also planning on building the box on my lonesome. to start off i drive a 94 maxima gxe with a fairly spacious trunk. due to the fact that it will soley be used for daily driving and for personal use (don't plan on showing it off to anyone) i guess you could consider me a SQ guy but the magnum is the best of both worlds hence it will get loud for me but have phenominal reproduction capabilities....im not a rap guy but i like a good bit of tribe called quest once in awhile and a whole bunch of other stuff prog rock (liquid t…

just a quick hi to all here in the SI section. i too share your passion and thats why i own 2 v.1 magnums with the kick-ass basket as you all know, nick's a great guy and has some great ideas and products in the pipeline....rock on SI some of your may know me from the caraudio.com forum as JTM (and his 1000 that seem to follow every post). so hello nick, dustin, steve, denim (loyd, does he ever wonder in here?) and the rest of you (a$$holes )

So, I knew starting to read more on car audio again would get me in trouble, so.... Looking at convincing my wife to let me maybe get an 18" sub for myself for christmas. This will be going into my extended cab chev s-10. Will be using a JBL GTO 601.1 amp to push it (600 watts at 2 ohms) (reason for the amp is, I already have it, and if I can even manage my wife to OK the purchase of a new sub she will never go for ok'ing a new amp as well) Looking at doing a 6 cubic foot enclosure slot ported tuned around 32 Hz Was looking at either the Ascendant audio Chaos 18 (dual 1 ohm coils) or possibly the Fi SSD 18 (again dual 1 ohm coils) Both call for up to 800 watts rms, an…

What do we have here?

thats all for now.

So I bought 2 15" polk/momo subs off crutchfield (way before I found this site) and they rock my Geo very well. The other morning on the way to work (my beautiful biweekly commute from Sac to Fresno, Ca on the nasty smelling 99) bumping as usual, I smelled something funny besides the highway and quickly realized it was the subs. I know I had too much power going to them ( Hifonics BXI2006) from the start but used it anyway. So before I could turn it down the subs shut off...then the smoke started coming from the port holes and I thought the box was going to start on fire driving down the road! So today I pulled the speakers out to expecting to find something fried but..…

Can someone give me a website were i can order the Magnum Sl D2's. There main website isnt sellin right now so i dont know were else i can order them, i really want those subs plz help, Thanks too all

When will u be postin that u can buy the subs today, since u said the sale starts on monday when does it start today?? and do i order it online or do i have to call the number provided?

after wanting a nice pair of subwoofers for a while i decided to go with some fi bl's but im not sure with what options to get them. do they come with woven tinsel leads ? im going to install them in a 97 silverado taking the back seats out i want to put 2 18's. i already have the amp and is a kx 2500 thats the reason im going with bls and not btls. i usually listen to hip hop reggaeton and country and im not going to compete just love loud loud shaking music

Dodge charger trunk, here are the options, Im also open to anything somebody else could recomend. 1 dual 12 box about 4ft cubed, or 2 12 inch boxes about 2 - 2.5 cubes each ported. Subwoofers im interested in, GCON, or SA12. (or a subwoofer not much more than $200 each) Amp, a 1500rms or 1200 rms. I listen to mostly rap, heavy bass songs, and some dubstep. What should I tune my port(s) to? I was thinking 32hz What is my best option here? *My original idea was 2 seperate 2 cubic foot, 32hz boxes pushing 1200rms into 2 SA12s.*

i need a 12 because i need to save a bit of space dont want any sub rated over 900 rms....price doesnt matter and whatever box i build it will be tuned to 32hz

Hi every body ! A friend of mine wants a 15" sub for his system. He has a DTI amp that pushes about 1200 watts rms at 1 Ohm. I think it's like a Boss amp ! So, numbers are not very accurate. He wanted a 1000 watts rms sub, but can go down to 600-700 rms. He wants it to be loud, not for breaking spl records, but not into SQ ! I showed him 3 available subs : Sundown SA 15, Kicker CVX, and Alpine type R. What do you think ? Any other choice ? Ooh ; budget is less than $300, $250 will be better. We have big shipping fees to add later. Waiting on you guys ! Thanks
