Subwoofers / Speakers

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.

i have 2 aq 2200d amps an all the electrical to go with it an im wanting to do 2 subwoofers but its between 2 fi btls or 2 xcon im looking for alot of flex thanks for any help oh yeah its going in a chrysler 300

if i have my system at 1 ohm, and my rise is 5 ohm and up, does that mean that i could run 1/4 ohm setup? and how much ohm rise is efected by voice coil heat?

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

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?

I am looking for some 6.5 inch components, RIght now i have a set of Swiss Audio sak-650's in small sealed boxes and Pioneer Ts-A1702c which are also 6.5 inch but i built small boxes tuned to about 45 for those. I would like something better than this and i would put them in the ported box. I am using these at home so mounting stuff is not a problem. Also for me the pioneers are better. what would you recommend? Also price is kinda of an issue, so the cheaper the better. Thanks

sold the jimmy and got myself a 99 durango. Time to put some components in. So these are my options that i'm looking at. Which of these would you guys recommend if any? I'm also up for suggestions but trying to keep it right around $100 right now. Thanks guys

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.

A buddy of mine wants me to put a system in his 2006 ford f250 4 door truck. He wants the subs behind the back seat. I have about 4.5" of mounting depth, about 14-15" in height, about 60" long, and about 1.25-2 cubes to work with. He wants to be able to hit the lows fairly good in a ported box. Which sub or subs should i get for him? Sizes? How many? I know the shallow mount subs like the cvts and p3s are pretty good but they dont get too low. Also i have 1200 watts at 1 ohm available to work with. So any wattage up to that would be recommended.

i have noticed that The new RE subwoofers like the SR, SE, SXX are badly built unlike they where before.. correct me if im wrong but RE subwoofers are now china made but parts still came from US.. if i where to compare products in general.. i would like to know your opinion about these.. which is a better brand in general terms and application.. RE vs FI? RE vs SunDown(subwoofers)? RE vs AA? fi sundown and aa seem to have the same built for that subwoofer.. they have the element of just by looking at them you knw this sub is loud..

I run a 15" SSA Icon in a 4 ft3 ported enclosure, but I just have a round PVC port. I can see that most of the ported enclosures use beautiful "slot" ports (is it the good word ?). Those are more difficult to do, and you have to make it right the first time ! It's difficult to change them after. I want to know why do people use those ports? What are the advantages, comparing to simple and adjustable round ports? Sorry to bother with all these questions, but I am here to learn, and to run my sub correctly. BTW I love the sound of my sub with this enclosure, and I will try to tune it lower !!!

Please read the rules, linked below!

Im wondering what sub i should use with a Kicker ZX750.1 . Im gonna be getting the amp with my next check (i hope) and im wondering what sub i should use with it. Im looking for a single sub setup and prefer using a 12". I have a RE SE atm but i was wondering if there is somthing that will do good off this power, 750 rms @ 2ohm. Ill be using ported and have a good amount of space for a box. My budget is around 200 for a sub. I want somthing thats gonna sounds loud to the ear, dont realy care about on the mic (dont think there are many comps around my area anyway). A few subs i was thinking of switching too were Audioque SD2.5 FI SSD no options Kicker L7 Im open to any id…

has anyone done an maw 15 Infinite Baffle and if so was it good i was curious about doing it in my 2001 kia rio and was wondering the proper way to do it and help would be great thanx

I was just curious what physical attributes you guys look for in a speaker. I know the best thing to do is listen to it, but if your not able to at the moment, what are things you can look for that indicate whether it's a quality driver, or crappy driver? Any links to sites or threads would be appreciated.

Is there any easy way to get rid of small dips and valleys in the surface of a fiberglass box besides just gettin' at it with a sander? I just about have the whole thing covered with Bondo body filler and am working it over with my Mouse sander. I notice there are some small dips or valleys here and there (actually all over). If I try to get each individually, it will take a lot of time and I am concerned with the body filler hardening before I am done. Should I just mix each batch in very minute quantities? Is there an easier way that I am not noticing? Anyhow, back to the sander it is. 90 degrees outside and I am in a garage with no fan. Damn addiction.

I already posted this but i haven't really got any opinions and i want to get this project done as soon as possible and that is why i am double postiny. Now i know its all install dependent but which setup will be the loudest n have great sound quality out of these choices: Basically im looking for a great realiable amp thats super efficient with the most true watts *90 amp alt *0 gauge amp wiring kit *Box probably going to be 2.2 @ 33hz (its in a 99 saturn sl2) 12" Fi Q or 12" Fi SSD copper coils, BP power and with what amp? JBL GTO1201.1 II 1114 X 1 2ohm 115 amp 3X40fuses Apline MRD-M1005 1000 X 1 2ohm Heard only draws 90 amps INFINITY 1211A 1300 X 1 2ohm Kenwood KAC-…

hey does anybody know where to get baskets, motors, cones, and coils? i know there are companies over seas that are cheap. does anybody know of a place i can order stuff?

Well right now my mag is in a 4.0 cu ft box tuned to 28 hz. Its nice and clean and gets pretty loud but I want a lil more SPL out of it. I heard if I tuned up around 35 hz it would get a lot louder but my question is how much sq will I be losing? I really dont want to lose too much sq but want it a bit louder. What do you guys suggest?? And in what kind of enclosure did you get your best results?

looking to get some nice midbass+highs, looking to upgrade from my infinity's was looking at the cheaper cdt audio comp sets was thinking of getting a 6.5" comp set and a 4" comp set so 2 6.5's 2 4's and 4 1" tweets i would put 1 of each per door and then 1 tweet in each front window pillar or next to me in the verticle pillar by seatbelt would that be a bad idea? too much tweeter?and could i wire two 4 ohm crossovers together for two ohm's? so 2 crossovers per channel

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
