Subwoofers / Speakers

huge question for true bass heads... im looking for a clear crisp yet hard hitting deep bass.... which one of the two would you recommend https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraud...ew.shopscript# or http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...es_a nd_specs 15inch by the way also for them both....just want one...and they are gonna get powered by this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199494646259 and the reason im goin with best buy amp is because i can get it for almost half off with my friends discount..... i have one type-r 12in in my trunk now but im lookin for more hard hitting deeper bass....what you think??? keep in mind i dont wanna spend anything over 500-600

why is there so many brands using the same frame...is there a place to buy just the frames

Hi, I'm new to this. I never made a box before, so I'm trying to figure out how to make a ported box. I plan to get a dcon, but want to make sure I have the know how of how to make a box before pulling the trigger. I want to put it in 1.25 cu ft, tuned to 32hz, getting 400watts. What port area (not volume) should I be shooting for? I read somewhere that 8-12 sq in per cubic foot is good, which would put me at 10-15 sq in of port area, but I wasn't sure, so I figured I'd ask people that have personal experience what they recommend for this particular sub. Thanks

Ok so I was moving some stuff around in the shops storage to make space when I found this I know it

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

Hello This is my amp: Phantom P900.4 Channels 4 ch. Class DRMS Power 4ω145 x 4RMS Power 2ω225 x 4RMS Power 4ω Bridged450 x 2RMS Front speakers: Power Handling 65W RMS/180W PEAK Impedance 4 ohm Frequency Response (±3dB in car) 55Hz-20kHz Sensitivity [1 watt (2.83v) at 1m] 90dB Subs i'm thinking of: Dayton Audio RSS265HO-4 10" Reference HO Subwoofer 4 Ohm Design by Seas 10" Sub woofer L26ROY (D1001-04D2SSA 8" or 10" or maybe 12" D2 Obsidian 12" D2 CDT HD-1200CF (I don't know a lot about this one) All I am interested in is sound quality and as small a enclosure as possible. Thanks for your time.

i recently bought 2 fi ssd 10's 1ohm DVC. can i wire these to 1 ohm?? ive done some research and have seen places say yes and some say no. i decided to come to the guys who have the knowledge! Thanks Matt Cusack

For a fixed budget, aught I go 2- or 3-way? I was thinking that by going 3-way rather than 2-way you might be able to get a better overall balance between the differnt areas of the bandwith? Or would I be better off, just going with as good a 2-way system that I can for the same money? And for this front system (6,5" mid-basses), someone said that a 15" sub would be too large to integrate with just a pair of 6,5" mid-bass drivers. I have a WV Passat Variant (station wagon). I would have presumed that the integration was the key, rather than the size of the sub, I've seen that before, once, but I'd like some more opinions on the issue before I take a descision.

This might be a dumb question but i have been doing some research and cant find and exact awnser. My question is what (design & structure wise) makes a door speaker sound better than another one if the givin situations were all exactly the same. As in, for example, an Alpine Type S vs RE Audio XXX series.

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

I have two blown MA Audio MA83XE's (8 in. subs) and i completely took them apart finding out the the voice coil of course, was melted. I measured the diameter of the voice coil from gap to gap and its 1.5 inches, is it possible to make use of these old motors/basket? or are they completely done for? If anyone has good advice on what to do with them, your advice is much appreciated. Thanks

so i have a box where the port is 30.25 wide and 3.5" tall from the face of the box back but when it bends the gap from the port to the back wall changes to 4.25". this was a build error where i put the second sheet of wood on the face of the main port as opposed to the end grain of the port. how will this effect my boxes tuning and port dynamics?

Hello forum folks. I recently bought a pair of rockford 6.75s to throw in my rear deck of my Buick Park Avenue. Only problem I assumed they were 6.5s for which I had an adapter plate for to replace the factory 6x9s. I am willing to pay, but would anybody be able to make, preferably mdf, a 6x9 to 6.75 adapter?

i picked up a b-stock maw 15 off here with a cracked basket, got it today and the basket wasn't to bad so i decided i'll see if i can fix it. so i sanded the frame where it was cracked down to bare metal and layed some jb weld down, now all i can do is wait and see if i fixed it. here are some pics.

I've been waiting to order the magnums si but dont know if they are even in stock yet. Is there a waiting list?

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.

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

I'll be running a pair of Z15's, I guess I listen to mostly rap, but I spend about half of my listening experience listening to virtually any other genre. Just looking for suggestions on what about I should tune the box to. I was thinking about 33hz, but now find myself second guessing as it comes closer to box building time. Thoughts/inputs/insults?

What does port noise sound like?

anyone know what 3 15" ID SPL's are worth? condition... function.. 2 work flawlessly, one needs reconed. when u flip it, u can hear something move internally..former, pole piece, something is dislodged. cosmetically... 1 of the working ones is in excellent shape 1 of the working ones is in decent shape, missing part of the cardboard outer gasket and there is a small tear (less then 1/2") in the surround. 1 that needs reconed is missing part of the outer carboard gasket all three stamped steel baskets, painted black. all three have double stacked magnets, the two that work have chrome topplates, the one that needs reconed has a black topplate. all are dual 2. lemme know..…

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?

just wondering if anyone has had experience with the Cadence DCW15RCV they sell for $959 a sub, and i have a chance to get them cheap.. just never heard or seen them before...

Just wanted to know if these to subs are comparable and if so, which one would you choose?

For each situation name the largest gauge wire you would ever consider using, (for amps, lets just say anything will fit) In a Competiton woofer: In a Super Tweeter: In a Mid-bass speaker: In an SQ woofer: Power cable for a Competiton amp: Mosfet in a Competiton amp: Ipod headphone voice coil: HU Power cables: Thanks, just wondering.
