    i got a punch he from a friend of mine today in pretty good shape but im having hard time of finding some good solid info on it i saw somewhere it was in the category component on one site not sure what that means since its a 12 inch subwoofer. im trying to find what kinda box i need to use stuff like that. i know its not a very powerful sub and it being a 8 ohm it is hard finding an amp to match it.

    i need alot of help... I have a 2001 toyota avalon xl with the JBL upgrade with 2 type r's in the trunk connected to a kicker zx1000. My stock sub just blew and i want to get new speakers for the interior.. Does anyone know what size i have in the front and rear, and what is a good setup for both? Also any way to replace the factory amp too? if so what brands? I have no idea how much power (RMS) the stock speakers are already so if anyone knows that, then that will be a big help cuz i could try to see how powerful i would want to go... its alot of questions, im a noob wit this stuff to be honest...its my first car and first system thank you

    I am getting some q logic kick panel enclosures for some additional midbass in the front, and I want something this sexy without the price http://www.crutchfield.com/p_091130VR/Foca...-VR.html?tp=106 It also needs to be a 6 1/2 inch driver, and I would prefer it be a component set.

    Hi Guys I live in Houston and I'm considering buying some magnums but I would love to hear them first. If there is anyone in the Houston area that would like to meet up with me to let me hear their Magnum(s) I would really appreciate. I just joined this board but I've been posting on caf, sin and the 12volt.com for a while. feel free to shoot me an email and I will be glad to give you my phone number. I would really like to hear one or two of the subs so I could make a decision on what to put in my car next.

    Well i just found out how simple it is to lift the rear seat of my truck which will give me chittons more airspace. HOORAY! Here is a potential box design i will use. http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/genera...r-seat-box.html With that down-firing design I would get approximately 1.55 ft^3 before sub displacement per sub chamber. or about 3 ft^3 for total airspace. If i reworked the design and made it up-firing, it would bring the total enclosure volume to about 3.6 ft^3. So with that amount of space to work with, I want more SQ than SPL but still like to bump from time to time. I used to have 2 RE se12s sealed.(Loved em). I listen to all kinds of music. Budget - hop…

    Would anyone happen to know where I'd be able to get soft parts/recone kits for 3 Soundstream Exact10's? I've had these fantastic subs for a few year, blown, figuring one day I'll get to use them again. So I am looking for either soft parts that'll fit or someone that could recone them from me thats local (Toronto, Canada) Thanks in advance.

    Obviously there is a difference between the... 1) X-15 2) Z V-3 15 3) Z V-4 15 I Know the difference in the V3 and V4 is the generation but i am wondering if anyone can give me any input on differences between how beefy the components are and the general differences between the 3. Maybe you guys can help me decide which one to get. Going to order 2 15's and they are going in the back of a 2008 Jeep Commander. Had 2 FI BTL's. How would 2 of these subs compare to the 2 BTL's i had?

    Hey guys, I am looking to get alittle advice on a sub or subs for my truck. 2007 F250 HD crew cab with bucket seats in the back. (daily driver) Right now it has a Alpine 7in touch screen Multi Media head unit, Alpine 4.150 running Alpine mids and highs and also running one 10in Fosgate P2 in a .53 cuft sealed box behind one of the back seats facing forward. It sounds good and very clean but the one sub in that little box just dont cut it for me. The last real system I had was 2 15in Diamonds in a big sealed enclosure down firing into the spare tire well of a Lincoln Mark 8. (10 years ago lol) I do not have much room to play with here but I was looking and I can build …

    So i just got my components in the mail today, and i was very excited. lol. but then as i take out one of the drivers, i hear something inside the dust cap rattling around! I tested it out and i can hear it rattle at low volumes, but it goes away at higher volumes. Do i have to send it back in, or is there anything i can do? The rattle is only in one driver.

    I just order a pair of Fi ssd 18s and was wondering how big I should go on the box? i've read a few forums where people have said go on the smaller side for less peakyness or go on the bigger side and they bang hard. What do you guys think?

    Guy i work with has amp already, hifonics bxi2608d, the amp is rated at 2600x1@ 1 ohm. I dont think it does that much but he wants to run 1 12" or 1 15". Out of FI BTL, sundown Z-15, nightshade, or death penalty, which would work better with that power, ported, cant use no more than 5 cubes.

    i've been running my magnums sealed for awhile now i feel it's time for a ported box. SI recommends 1.5 cubes per sub tuned to 32 hz. my question is doesn't anybody have there subs in this type of enclosure and how does it sound? or will it sound better in a different size/tuned box?
