Subwoofers / Speakers

whats up guys, been debating on what sub/amp combo I wanna go with, thought I decided on 2 soundsplinter 10's with an alpine pdx 1.1000 amp, but then I realized I might not want that much bass.. I listen to probably 75% rock, 25% rap, I want something with great sound quality, but I guess when necessary I wanna be able to turn it up and feel it when I listen to rap.. dunno if I should go with 2 10's, one 12", or maybe one REALLY good 10"... I have heard of subs like the JL 10w7 sounds really crisp, but when you want it to be loud, it can sound like 2 12"s almost.. what sub does SS, SSA, etc make that would be the equivalent of the 10w7? You think in my case one really so…

my amps turned on when i turn it on my sub turns on cuz it makes a thump .. Then when i play music it bearly moves.. it doesnt smell burned.. what is the problem? Jordan

okay im gettin a new amp today and i was wondering if i should hook up my amp that i have already to my speakers .. would this be hard? and how do i do it? any help would be awesome thanks yall..

I want to get one of these matching passives for my tc10. Do they really live up to their hype? If any of you guys by chance happen to have have one and are interested in selling, I would love to take it off your hands!

This is one of my Fi X 12's that I've recently burnt the leads on, and I'm in the process of repairing it. Its hard to see, but in the last pic i have the tensil leads unsoldered and the copper leads from the coil ready to be soldered to the new tensil leads. I paypaled the money for the leads and dustcap to Fi so now im waiting for them to come in!!

Bought a pair of Polk momo's and a crappy 1200watt Sony amp off Cl (100 bucks for everything), installed them they sound... ok i guess haven't heard a "Good" setup so I don't really know what to expect. Issue i have is the box they came in is terrible, the kid wired the subs directly to the amp and there is a massive hole where the wire terminal SHOULD be (Covered it up with duck tape). The box is rough I kinda wanna upgrade to a new one, i'm not familiar with whats best, some info i found said they do best with .88cu enclosures. I don't have the ability to really build my own, since apartment lifestyle doesn't afford that luxury. Should I try and get a sealed one? o…

I'm going to be doing an install in a freind's 08 Suburban, and he wants a "false floor" built for the rear cargo area. The false floor will house the amplifier (Rockford 25 to life power 1000) and wiring. He wants either a single 12", dual 10", or dual/triple 8" subs, but he wants the false floor to be used as the sub box. He doesn't want to have to deal with a massive sub box in the cargo area. My question is, if the false floor is built 6-8" high, will it be "thick" enough for a proper sub enclosure. I have plenty of space to work with length/width-wise, but the depth is going to be the problem. I guess I'm trying to ask if a shallow box will work ok, as long as I have…

Curious again about subwoofer recommendations. Looking for the loudest and clearest out of the three but mostly leaning towards output. i have the option of using either a MTX 1501d or a Hifonics BXI2008 and subs can be in basically any size box. 2 Re Audio SX 12 2 SSA ICON 12 1 Fi BTL 18 Thank you in advance

If i have 2 pairs of passive x overs, tweeters and woofers running off of two amps, would going active running 4 woofers and 4 tweeters and the same two amps be as loud?? Cus the way im seeing this active thing working is that when its playing music one amp is always off since its switching high to mid

Does the size of the box affect how well a subwoofer reproduces different frequencies? For example: if one sub's box is at the upper end of the manufacturer's recommended volume and another's box is at the lower end....both boxes tuned to the same frequency....how will they respond differently? will there even be an audible difference assuming the same power is being used? will the output differ? it may sound like a rudimentary question, but you won't know until you ask...thx

I have a modded mojo 2500D on the way and I'm very interested in these subs. On paper they seem to be exactly what I want. If I get two the amp will be ran @ 0.5ohm with somewhere around 1700w per sub. I can only afford one for now so I will probably run it at 4 ohm. Could a single Havoc handle 3kw if I wired it at 1ohm? On a side note, I see alot of vented boxes with the port at one end and the sub(s) at the other end. I usually place the port between the subs in a dual sub setup. Is there any gain from porting at the end of a box?

I have JL C2 6.5 components in the front and coax in the rear of my truck. Running off a JL JX 360 amp. I also have an SSA ICON 10 and sundown sax-1200 to power it. I was wondering where i should set the high pass filter for the speakers and the low pass filter for the sub?

im thinking about getting a level 4 15 what kind of warranty do they have?? thanks

Hey I'm new here on the forums so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section! I'm really interested in the X series from Sundown. I wanted an X 18, but from what I read, it would need like 6 ft^3, and I just cant get that much into my 3G Eclipse. I took some measurements for about the biggest rectangular box I could fit, and came up with a little more than 4 ft^3. First of all, I need advice on which speaker(s) to get. Should I just put the 18 in the 4 ft^3 box? Go with an X15? or go with 2 X12's? Whichever we come up with, I'm going to need a box for! I'd like to port the box and tune it to around 30 hz, maybe 32 (which I know is a little high for the X series). …

how good r these speakers.

when you use poly fill in a box should u get the mat style or the just the plain loose poly fill? i read that the loose stuff can get up in the motor and damage it...

I have been looking at Fi for a long time now and have some money in line to get one. What my idea is to buy a 15" BTL fully loaded (Dual 2) for daily driving as my Accent is my only vehicle. I am currently running 2 Power Acoustic 15's from a single Ultra Linear 1600Watt amp. I am currently running stock electrical (not sure if upgrading will screw with my warranty.) Along with buying this i am looking at the Ultra Linear 2400@Watt amplifier. I am curious if that will be stable enough to run it. with out hurting it. in order to run that amp I would be running it bridged at 4ohms and getting the 2400RMS. (as long as i can upgraded my electrical without voiding my warrant…

Hi guys, i have one question about RE Audio, with what series or model of MTX line is the RE SE's comparable to in Loudness? thanks.

I was wondering if I can send my Adire Brahma MkIII to be fixed other than Adire themselves. I got it a while back from Low-Hz, and it got shipped blown (once I opened the smashed shipping box, I pushed in the cone and it was stiff and made scratching noises) I ended up with a Mag D2, but I still have the Brahma and I want it fixed. Thanks

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.

Hey guys...thanks for joining me. As you can see, my name is An-i-no and I think I'm a subsono-holic.... LOL on a serious note I have 2 Sa-12's on a RF P500-2 (~350x2) in 1 cube sealed each. They sound effin awesome but they're well...quiet. I already made plans to get a bigger amp (between 1500 and 2000 depending on my monies) but I saw that Sundown was having a b-stock sale and I started thinkin... I want to go ported at 27hz. That's where my listening habits are. Slow ass rap songs that send shockwaves through your organs. My sealed box isn't having that, but duh, I knew that when I bought it. The sealed box does however...allow me to play super-extra low tones that a …

i have 2 morel dms-29 1-1/8 tweeters. what would be the difference in sound if i used a capacitor instead of running the speakers thru a crossover? does it affect the power it receives?

going to put 2 in my car and was wondering what you that of it and what i can expect

I could get my hands on a pair, 3, or 4 RE SE's rated 600, but we all know RE can take the extra power so they had 1200 on them. Hes letting them go cheap, should I cash in on them, or get what I was planning on doing 15" Fi BL.

Hey all, new to the forum, poor atm, love audio, both home and car. I have 2 2005 model alpine type r's in a custom sealed and an rf 1001bd not hooked up. I bought a 4door 08 altima 2.5s last august, well rather leased now by my parents and i will purchase offlease since i grad college in december. I got the basic audio system and i am looking to beef things up in the future. I have heard excellent things about sound splinter and will probably get their midline 12" or 2 in the future with a sundown audio amp. None the less, now that my little spiel is done, i am wondering about passive radiators. Now i know these are quite common in higher end home theater and i have…
