Subwoofers / Speakers

just ordered a kx550.3 and i need some suggestions on a sub. if the maw's were still in production , id snag one up , but i decided to downsize too late. so i need some suggestions for a 12" that will work well in both sealed and ported enclosures being fed 350-400wrms @ 2 ohm that will get decently loud and not sound like poop. budget is around $100 but ill spend a bit more if i have to get something quality. i was looking at the RE SR , but i really couldnt find enough reviews on them. thanks in advance.

Title explains it just wanted to run it by some people on here. Wanted to keep it pretty simple and not overly expensive. Going with a an alpine 9887 headunit running active. Sundown 100.4 amp, Sea CA18RNX mids, and Seas 27TFFNC/G tweeters. Crossing tweets at around 2.5k and mids around low 2k. Question that i just want to make sure is can the CA18RNX mids run up to the 2k range?

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?

What does port noise sound like?

I have 2-Eminence Alpha-6A(6.5" midranges) in all 4 doors on a Sundown Audio Sax125.2 that will be hear Wednesday. I plan on deadening the door frame and panel with Damplifier Pro but plan on putting these on top of the Damplifier Pro and positioned right behind each speaker. Will these be Deflex Power Pads(link below) useful or is Damplifier Pro all I need? If it is useful then will car rubber floor mats work just as good or are these made out of completely different material? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=268-242%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&FTR=deflex%20speaker%20pad&CFID=11884925&CFTOKEN=17974532 Thanks for the input.

I will be building my first ported box soon and was wondering about port location? I will be using a box design that i found on SSA website for 2 Sundown SA 12's with a kicker ZX1000.1 at a 2ohm load. See the link..... 12" DUAL PORTED 4.0 ft^3 t 30 hertz My link My question is , If i use this box and move the port to the outside but leave it at the same end will it change the tuning, i would think so but not sure. Sorry if i this is a stuipid question but as i said this will be the first ported enclosure that i have owned/built. I plan on the subs firing upwards on top of the enclosure and will be pushing the box close to my rear seat. Hope i gave enough info. thanks in …

Sister want to up grade the system in her 2005 Nissan Altima there will be an Alpine headunit. As for the doors and rear and her single 10 she dont know which way to go. So far she side she like Focals and Infinity for the doors and rear but which one will be better for everyday use? Will be back on the sub.

Any ideas when this is coming out ? How will it compare to the JBL GT5 Series ? I have two projects going on atm, one is ultimate SQ, and one is a walled boomer, im from the UK so the way we do it is like, 10 12's. Thanks

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.

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.

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.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum so bear with me. I'm looking to pick up 2 10" subs but I'm deciding between two. The first choice would be 2 10" AA assassins. My other choice would be two DD 510Bs. There specs look the same but i don't know which to get. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Im wanting to build a bandpass box for a single Kicker Solox 10 it will be run off of a Crunch GP3000d. Or would I be better off putting it in a ported enclosure. Only using it to be loud bass race or street beat.

IM buying an eD Flatcone for 90bucks shipped. Im planning on pucking around with it, blowing it, then sending it off to RE or Inhuman. RE says they will recone it with SX or XXX softparts to w/e size i want for 100 bucks. Me thinking 18" and compare it to my Ava in output and clarity. If its better the Ava will be reserved for HT usage, if its worse i will either sell it or reserve it for HT usage (depending on my findings). My question is how do you think this will sound/how loud will it get. i know the TC9 is a great motor and the OE driver has 34mm of Xmax (??) i think but the OE surround limits it to 24mm of excursion though. My other question is wether to go with XX…

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

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

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 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
