Subwoofers / Speakers

Just like the title says, what is the "best" port area for a 12" H2? Box is going to be 2.5 cubes tuned to 32 hz. Running off a bx1500d.

which out of these are better for SPL purposes, but i also want them to be able to be used daily. -orion H2(i know that can be used daily and is great for spl) -SI magnum D2 -Treo SSX i want like 8000 w rms, and i want to be able to use it daily.

Here are my babies fr the end of the 04 to 05 season. They are a pair of dB Drive Platinum 10's that are dual 2 ohm. Should be well with about 2k of power of each one. They seemed great for the price and build quality looks decent. Having the box made as we speak. Will get to do some tests with a little power on my Linear X this Saturday (my MECA setup) and get some tests done at the Hurricane Relief show on Sunday (hopefully) with the Audio Control 190. Not going to put the Concepts to the subs yet because of my stock electrical system. I will update everyone when I get some numbers. Anyone have any experience with the dB Drive Platinum's?

I'm interested in getting a vey high resolution "Magnum" logo. I figured since they can no longer be called "Magnums" that perhaps a high resolution image might now be available without any conflict. After all my Claw Basket Mags are still Mags. On a side note, does anyone know how many Claw Basket Mags (12" of course) exist? ... How rare are these? The Hammer

i was just wondering....i haven't thought about audio for a while but i got to thinking today....what's the best box for my application? Right now my Mag !2 us un a 1.9 tuned to 29 hz box...sounds great.....but it would be cool if i didn't take up so much space in my trunk....so i was thinking sealed....but the thing is i only got about 450 watts going to it from the rear channels of a RF 800.4....i figured the ported box was best but i was wondering with the power I have what ya'll have done. I am some what drunk right now so this might be a dumb questions Scott, SC

well about a week ago my 15' mag started to play periodically. this has continued and every morning it turns on for about five seconds then turns off for a couple minutes then back on and so on throughout the day it will turn on and off periodically. nothing is wrong with the connections and i know it's not the sub or it wouldn't be playing. i assume it's something to do with the amp which is an audison srx 650 watt amp. is it clipping or what and do i need to return this amp to it's authorized dealer or what please help somebody.

I just got a newsletter from Nick about our current status.... Just two things to touch on...much more to come in the nearing weeks... Cost of drivers is going DOWN....considerably...I don't know about you, but how much cheaper can you make a Magnum (I love that name ) and still have its performance equivalent to that of a Brahma or XXX? I can see the smiles already.... Changes are being made to the 8 proto....Can't say what they are...most of which are physical changes, and not so much frequency capabilities... That's all I got for now.... Bring on the emails

here ya go... sorry guys..hehe UC them now? hehe

well actually it's a good day but also sad. a few days ago i got a 1999 s10 xtreme standard cab with bagssss baby! that's the good news. the bad news is i have no way of fitting my 15" d2 in my truck. it's a standard cab with bench seats. in my blazer, i had that baby in a 4ft^3 box ported to 32hz and it was crazy nice. i don't really wanna make a blow through in this truck because it has only 35,000 miles and it's in mint condition. the frame wasn't c-notched for the bags or anything (sadly i don't lay frame...yet). so yeah. umm...is there anyone who has fit a 15" in a standard cab truck without creating a blow through and without having my steering wheel at my knees wit…

im building a transmision line box for a 15 D2. for theie/small parameters it my progrm apears to want FD Re Lvc Bl SD Vad Qed Qmd Qtd

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?

OK guys I need your expertise and experience. I have been looking into these and I have been hearing completely differnt opinions. So what I'd like to know is... -How is the SQ? (I know the SPL pounds) -How big of a box have you guys been using?(ive heard that they need a bigger box than reccomended on the site) How many watts have you guys been runnin to them? (again, ive heard different than whats on the site) Thanx in advance Tom

Ive heard somewhere (i cant remember where) that you cannot physically blow a mag..... Is that true? even with 3kw and the volume all the way up? just something i wondered when seeing the post that someone put that much power to one.....

i promised you guys this AGES ago.. well, its finally been built and... it doesnt fit! LOOOL! oh well, i cant wait to hear it anyway, heres some pics - http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread....4648#post964648 il report back when i get my headunit back, then i can have a listen

well, as some of seen the pics..now it's time for a review.. i bought the sub for $50 just so i could add some low end. i chose the pr becuz scott (owner radioactivity) said they kicked ass for cheap subs, personally i thought he was full of chit...but read on.. The Install the sub is in the recommened 1ft^3 with 6in^2 of port. yep just 6 square inches! the only thing i changed was port length, as memphis recommends a 40 hz tuning, i added 3/4" to the port length, hopefully bringing it down somewhere around 35-37 hz. The Power yeah right!! it's getting fed a rated 70 wrms @ 4 ohm from a memphis pr 140. fred (local memphis rep) says the amp is actually closer to 125 wrm…

I hope I can get some help here. I hooked up my SI 302 components tonight. They are in their temporary location until I figure out the best spot for the best sound. They are currently located where the stock speaks would go on my door of my 1999 Olds Alero. There are no door panels on currently. The mids are mounted pretty well onto a double MDF baffle that is 1.5" thick. The doors are as sealed as I could possibly get. They have a layer of liquid sound deadening on the inside of the door cavity and the skin of the door. Over this is a layer of mat type deadening. They are being run off of the bridged front and rear channels of a Memphis Belle. Now my dilemma. …

Two 12" RL-p's (ported) or two 15" RL-p's sealed. I am planning to do a 1.5 cube ported to around 32-34 hz. The two 15"S will be in a 2 cube box. I will buy tonight, weather/internet connection permitting.

My buddy has a 13w7 and burnt up a friggin voice coil on it with only like 1100 watts, how is this possible?? It wasnt overpowered, it was professionally installed in a ported box, and plus i thought it was supposted to be VERY difficult to do that to a w7??

just for reference purposes, i KNOW for a fact, that 5.4 cubes tuned to 90Hz doesent work well for a 15. however, if you take about 5 cubes and tune it to 43Hz it is a much better box, until you lose the aero ports

Power/size n number of woofs... what ya hit with ure mag? termlab only plz... AC =

Subwoofer Comparison Test: Round 3 By Vance Dickason Photography: Rob Mcpherson As in amateur boxing, this is the third and final round of the Subwoofer Comparison Test. This time we feature four speakers in the highest price category, $499 and up. No knock-outs or TKOs but certainly there are winners in our series of tests. But you are the judges and make the final determination. In the end, context is king. The woofer that is best is the one that is best for you. Objective: Four Max Performance Long Excursion 12" Woofers In the first round of the Subwoofer Comparison test we looked at four woofers that had price tags from $270-$300, followed by the second group that ran…

I wonder if this will show up alright. Who says strokers have no Xmax? LOL. I wonder if that throw is linear?

Here is a company I thought was dead,. http://mypeoplepc.com/members/heather7/sonicfx2/id8.html

I read somewhere that they will be back up and running in late October? that would be sweet. I sure hope they get back into it, such a great company/product/service etc. They are a no B.S. company I like to say, you get what they tell you you get, a damn fine product with unbelievable quality. I also hope they don't abandon the SI 8 idea. sure could use some.
