Subwoofers / Speakers

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). …

Anyone know how tall the wall is in the bed? If I wanted to do a blow through with 6 15's (ICONs) is there enough height? I don't have a truck in front of me to measure, just wondering if you guys would know.

Does anyone own these components ? The have a closeout deal on these only a few bucks more then the ctx models

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?

looking for an ascendant audio dealer close to 78557, thats south texas, want to buy a pair of 10inch chaos

just got my 04 reconed re xxx and i noticed when ups dropped it off the box wasnt in great condition so i looked inside and the sub is fine except for a couple spots on the surround where it looks like it was chafing on the cardboard box, i can take a picture if you guys want but it is very unnoticeable and prob hard to see in a pic, it isnt gouged at all just some surface rub just wanna kno if this will become a problem

Curious if anybody out there in SSA Land would happen to have the old Tempest specs?

Hey i need advice on which sub is better. I am looking at subs and i came across a Alpine Type R 12 for 105. I am wondering what kind of sub the Type R compares to. So if you have any idea just feel free to reply.

I have 2 Rockford Fosgate rfr3110's and Im planning on building a ported box for them both but I want to know the difference between separating the 2 subs to one sub per chamber (2 ft^3) with 1 square port each OR having both subs in the same chamber (4^ft3) with 2 same sized ports. Basically, I have the size and dimensions of the box ready to draw up, but should I have a divider between the 2 subs in the box?

well i am going to build a couple of twelves here in the next couple of weeks, and i was trying to find a couple of threaded adapters that tc sounds used for these type of top plates. and of course i just can't find any, except for robot underground, but he wants 80 bucks a piece so i got with our in house machinist and made these up. they are designed to be a interference fit that way when mounted sideways they won't shift from the weight. the id is a couple hundredths smaller than the threads on the motors. i will have to make some 1/4-20 guide rods out of 3" bolts to align the adapters, because they will have to be heated with a propane torch to expand them first.

any have any play time with any marine speakers?if so give me your thoughts.pros cons?i need some speakers that wont crap out on me in my jeep....

I was looking to get 8" or 10" (quantity 2) subs that would compare to my 12" SI Mag. As you know, caraudio is addicting and I'm always looking for new ideas. This happens to be my latest one. I was thinking 4 Bravox PXW 8" in 2.4cuft @ 33hz, but am not too sure. Then I was also thinking 2 used SA-8s. My third idea is two 10s. Max cuft = 2.7cuft net Power options = 500 @4ohm, 900 @2ohm, 1200 @1ohm. Budget = $150 I want to have the same or more SQ/Loudness as my 12" Mag or previous 12" SSA Icon. Might not be do-able, but would like to hear your guys input!

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…

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

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.

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…

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...

Today I put in some pioneer a series 6.5" in the back of my car. Tomorrow i'm planning on ordering the 4" models for the front. I'm running them of the 18w head unit. I have a sub already and was wondering if it would be worth it to buy something like 150hz bass blockers for the front speakers. I didn't know much about car audio when I went and bought my head unit and it doesn't have a high pass filter.

what can i fudgein do to get the screws that hold the basket to the motor loose? i cant get them to budge btw its a FI BL

Hey guys, I was wondering which one of these two subs would be better for me. It's either the 18" Xcon or the 18" Nightshade. Only $50 difference between the two right now. I'm going to get two. Probably get powered from a saz-3500d. If no deal on another amp comes around. Main goal is to do hair tricks and shake other vehicles at comps. Thanks.

I built a sub box as big as i could to hold two 18's in my acura cl.i run a 1200w hifonics brutus and it slams.But the speakers supostu have 6cft of air .the box only has 6.4 total inside air space. Is there any way to make the subs work easyer.By adding polyfill ,porting,or any other methed.i dont want to build a real intriqet box considering my trunk only holds about 13cft and my box should have 12cft.Any help would be appreciated.

I'm thinking about either purchasing 2 12" SSA Gcons, or 1 15" Fi Bl fully loaded, I want deep loud bass, whichever I choose will be going in an s10 extended cab, which should I go with, either will be in a ported enclosure. Thanks.

Is there a way to check how DVC sub is wired without taking it out of the box by using a dmm? I would assume to just check the + and - coming out of the box (theres only 2 terminals in the back). And see what the ohms read. Am i correct or no.

Not having heard any of the Fi subs I am trying to make a decision based on Thiele-Small prams and am having a difficult time deciding on the correct driver for my application. My front end consists of an A/D/S/ Pq 20 ran 2 channels to Dynaudio 240 MkII component set. 2-10

i am having someproblems finding a mounting position for my tweeters. If i made a box for them and mounted them on the floor but level with the bottom of seat will they sound bad? they will not be obstructed and they will have plenty of room to play. i am concerned with having a complete full sound. i want my music to blend well with my subs. they are oing in a lincoln towncar.
