Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey everyone i am looking forward on buying 2 12's fi btl but i dont know what is the maximum amount of watts these subs can actually take. I read on there website that the new n3's take 3000 watts rms but dont know if this is actually true. What is a good amp to power this with? Am looking forward on sum crazy ass bass. And am not too concerned on my budget.

I built a sealed box for my car already but i need to build a ported box for comps. Ive got 2 15'' d2s with 1200 watts rms My cars resonant frequency is about 35 from what ive read. Should i tune it to 35? or to what the subs are reccommended to? or ive heard to tune about 10-12 hz above my cars resonant freq.?

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…

Hey guy! I'm upgrading my electrical system, and I want to know what size pulley should I get for a 250amp alt going into a 2002 ford expedition xlt. What I will have running in the truck when I'm done are two saz 2000d powering 4 ascendant audio havocs 15 inch subs. Any help and infos are welcome. Thanks!

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....

I need to replace a dust cap on one of my IXL 18"s, which size do I need? I'm ordering from Parts Express.

super small budget build... sub is 99 bucks on woofersetc so i figured what the hell, there's a guy over on ca doing ported boxes for 30+ shipping so 130-150 for box and sub isn't too shabby.... * Peak Power Handling: 1400 Watts * RMS Power Handling: 700 Watts * Frequency Response: 16 300 * Subwoofer Size: 15" * Impedance: dual 2 ohms * Dual Voice Coils * Basket: Cast alloy basket * Recommended Box 1 (Vb): 1.50 cu. ft. sealed * Sensitivity: 1,6dB * Cone Material: Treated paper diaphragm / Poly parabolic dustcap * Former: Kapton * Terminals: Gold binding posts * Mounting Depth: 6 3/4" says 1.50 sealed, so i figure about …

hey everyone. i'm in the process of piecing togethor my first system and i'm trying to figure some basic stuff out right now. i listen to a lot of house/trance and other electronic music, with some rock and a lil rap every once and awhile. my friends that have subs (mtx, jl w3), their setups sound great with rap but get muddy and don't seem like they keep up with the music when any kind of electro is played. I want my sub to remain clear and crisp. should i be looking for smaller a smaller 10" sub, or if i get more of an sq sub such as the ss rl-p will a single 12 or even a 15 be able to suit my needs? thanks.

So Im doing my first truck, a 2nd gen s10, and was what size subs would sound good in an ext cab?

I'm doing some planning in here...hopefully in a month or so I can pickup one of the new Eclipse head units and some speakers. The only thing I've dealt with before is a set of MBQuart speakers(RSD-216 RKC-116) and an MTX amp. I don't want to take up ANY room in my trunk as nearly 1/2 will be gone with my sub. So that means no more amps at all period. Unless you guys can tell me that I could mount it under my seat or something but even then I dunno as it does cost more money. So, what speakers should I look at that can be powered and sound good off of an Eclipse head unit? I don't know many 'good' names besides what I've seen in stores. Edit: Some vitals: I need 5 1/…

Hi, What sub can you recommend that are loud and also able to play wide variety of music from rap/rnb to techno/trance/house. 1500wrms and up only Thanks!

I was wondering what subs can handle 3000 rms these are the ones I have heard of and does anyone know of prices on these? RE MT RD HW/SHW Sundown Nightshade IA Warden T3 TSNS

alright, the system in my fiances car is just a RF punch P2 in a ported box ( I built it a while ago, I think its something in the neighborhood of 2.5 ft^3 tuned to ~30HZ???) and it is powered by a RF 300.1 amp. the sub is a 4 ohm sub though, and the system is decent, but I am thinking of selling the P2 on ebay or something and get a different sub for around 60-70 bucks that delivers a 2 ohm load to get the most out of the amp. heres the 5 I am looking at now, and the prices. I am open to others also. what would you pick and why? Diamond Audio D1 12D4 60.00 RE Audio REX12D4 65.00 Orion C2-124 74.00 eD 13kv.2D4 (depends on th…

hi guys, i would like to ask for some options to look at. need some inputs here, what sub would be good for a .5 - .6 enclosure / 200-500rms / decent lows / good SQ, sounds good even for metal, rap, hiphop, etc. ( so something with a little SPL on it)? so far only things i see are PG RSDc 10", RE SR 10", and RE REx 10" do i have any other options on this? good price would be around $200 and highs on $300 for a pair. so $100 - $150 each...

Anyone happen to know what this sub is?

Hi At first sorry for my language. I have a honda civic coupe 6 generation and my audio is: -Amplifier hifonics BXI 2600D -2x RE AUDIO SE12D4 wired at 1 ohm -Power cap DIETZ hybrid 20F -Alternator 160Ampers Soon I planing to: -do BIG III -add extra battery in the trunk Subwoofers is in the trunk and he is ported, about 2,5-2,8 cubic feat for bouth. They play quaiet good but I want something what play mutch louder. I planed to buy 4x RE SE12D2( cone area is big of 4x12" so a lot of air could be move ) but trunk is not enough big and enclosure will be to small and bass will be not too low(there is no any posibility to tuned low like in manual).At present I have tuned about…

I have a ram quad cab that they will be going in. I will be using the center console for the placement of the subs. Dim. that I have to work with are 26 long 17 high and 15.5 wide. Those dims or smaller but I have plenty of vol. for a wide range of subs. Subs will be in sealed enclosure. I'm wanting sq but with a little attitude. I'm using CDT ES 06 for mid bass in my doors and CDT ES 04 and tweets in kick panels. My amp that will be powering the subs is a US Amps old school 100 HC. Would like the amp to see 1 ohm so I can get full use of the amps power. Aprox. 1400 to 1600 watts at 1 ohm. Ok I listen to all kinds of music but mainly rock and metel with everythi…

Small enclosures and small cabin area. I'm thinking about buying a truck like a ford ranger extended cab or a chevy colorado extended cab and I want to know what sub works best in conditions like small area I don't want to wall out my backseats but I'm willing to take them out to get best effiwncy out of my sub I know the nightshade works good in small enclosures but what else does? Thanks.

Ok so i blew 2 alpine type r 12s dual 4 ohm ran at one ohm to a sae-1200d and now i am looking to replace them.... i have a 2002 grand prix and am looking into buying a 15... i was thinking a night shade or incriminator audio... maybe an xcon... i am looking for as loud as a woofer as poss. i have bout 500 dollors to work with... any sugestions are always welcomed

I just bought a used Sundown Saz-1500d. For the moment I will be running it at 2 ohms with my dual 4 ohm voice coil DD2510. Within the next two paychecks, I wanna get something that will take the full 1 ohm power of the 1500. I am leaning towards a 15", but a couple of 12"s could be cool also. Just as long as I can wire to 1 ohm and get the full 1500 or so watts. -This is a daily driver, but if I can potentially get loud enough, I would maybe compete in street beat or similar. -budget is a $350 ish (used or new). less would be nice. -before installing the amp, I'm adding a yellow top in the trunk and one run of 1/0 for it. as well as big 3.

I am currently running 2 (400rms each) Sundown E-12s each in a 1.2 cubic foot ported box at 36hz. Powered by a Hifonics 1700.1 I recently found out that I could put a box in my back seat that will hold 2 15s. (R/T 300 series) thats 3.2 cubic feet per sub tuned at 32hz. Yes I understand 3.2 is just under the gross volume and does not account for the port. I also know it isn't the best box in the world but I can't afford much more right now and it is better than what I have. I have a convertible so I lose a lot of sound but I wanted to upgrade from the 12s to really just have more cone area and maybe a sub that will handle more power than the E series from sundown. I hav…

I had a 12" Fi BTL off a 2500D Soundstream Rubicon in my previous car. It sounded great, but got used to that. Now looking to upgrade. Did a cardboard mock-up in my new car (2005 Civic) and trying to decide what subs to go with. I'm looking for a lot of air movement, hitting deep, and sounding clean. Was thinking 2 x Fi Q 15's. What do you think? Would like to keep total power of both subs combined under 2000RMS. Dimensions, minus the angle..Looks to be about 3.5cuft per sub after displacement. Quick question, when I move the port to the middle would I have 14" of length on each side or 7" on each side per sub? Layout will be like this, common chamber.

What do u recommend for SQ??? Will be in a sealed box with 7" max depth mount... Net vol. too factory rec.. Up firing under the back seat of my ext cab sierra.. I do NOT have a amp yet but would like to stick with any of the sundown amps... Like to keep it around or under $300 for one or two subs which ever sounds better. Using CDT EF-61i with a sundown sax-100.2 in front... Was looking at two ss rli-10's and the sundown sae-100d but that might be more than I need... Also looking at the Sundown SAX-100.2and two SD-1 10's... I read its got killer sq... I just looking for clean musical bass to fill out the music not to drown anything out and not boomy.. Listen to all type…

okay i need helping finding the best sub/ subs for me. heres what i have so far: Sundown Audio SAE 1200D 2.2 cuft max box area 6.5" mounting depth is the max i can get for the subs $350 price range overall my goals are to get something that is loud but also sounds good. im leaning towards 1 10" Fi BL with cooling and flatwind coil. but does anybody else have any recommendations? Thanks

I've been looking at the DC lvl 3 12'' subs but I'm not sure what I should get, I'm a complete noob to this stuff. I'm going to power the sub(s) with either a sundown SAZ-1500 or SAE-1200 Going in the trunk of my 02 mazda protege sedan. I like to listen to a lot of metal and rock music. I've heard sealed boxes are better for fast double bass, but I've also heard that a good ported box can handle double bass as well. Others say the bass will blend together in a ported box... what do you guys think? is the dc lvl 3 the best sub for my money?
