Subwoofers / Speakers

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

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 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.

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?

here are a few pics of the beggining phases of my project... there will be several more in the future.

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…

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 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

Looks like I will be competing with Treo this coming season. Just won an auctin for a CSX 15" built for SPL (no pole vent). It does have a blown coil but for $100 shipped I am not complaining. It is going back to Treo anyway to get enlarged to an 18" with quad coils. Hmmmm, quads. So it looks like Treo and Concept for me this season. I will post some pics of the 15" when I get it and of the 18" when it returns!

im getting 2-15pbx and going to power it with a optidrive2000d amp (2000w x 1 @.5 ohm).... id like a 70/30 (SPL/SQ) spit, so if anybody has used a setup like this please tell me what you thought of the sound and loudnest of the sub....

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. …

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 =

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 kidding. That's from one of my favorite movies. My Magnum finally lives. Got it all hooked up today. Just in time to get delayed at an airport on my way to Florida. Anywho, now it's on to the next phase. My doors and my front stage. So far it sounds pretty good. I haven't tweeked anything and all I have inside the car is a couple of POS stock speakers. I can feel the bass and see my mirror move more than I can hear it. I guess that is good. Anyway, after all this time I can finally say thanks Nick. It was definitely worth the wait. And I know this type of thread is worthless without pics, so here ya go. Sorry the pics aren't the best. Kinda excited …

can some one help me tune my viper 1200.1d. i have it with a 15" D2 in about 2.2 ft^3 sealed(home made). i don't have a head unit (just plain stock) so i have a Navone N-7v line output converter. i mostly listen to rock. This is my very first install. i don't have the box capetted yet. soon i hope thanks Travis

Here is a pic of two more of my 15" subs. This one was my old Kove Armageddon 15" with my old DD 9515. Can you guess which is which? LOL.

under my username, member rank, post count, etc is this warn % with orange blocks. what is this??

I feel bad for only giving it 600 watts right now until I find my new amp. Hunting a PPI a1200 or PC2350 badly for it. But damn does it still sound incredible with just 600.

We finally got our T-shirts in!! They will be $15 plus shipping (I'll try to package them in the smallest thing I can to keep shipping down). We everything from Medium to XL's. The T-shirts have our logo on the front left breast and our logo large on the back with the text "believe me, you need the bass" below that. Anyway, I just thought I'd post. And no pics...that got stolen too.

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.

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