Subwoofers / Speakers

I recently got my first comp set. They where used. I hooked them up to my head unit. They are working just not much came out of the mid bass speaker. Is this do to lack of power from the head unit? I have an amp to power th just do not have all my cables to connect it. I was excited and wanted to here them. Should I expect better results once connected to my amp?

Alright, the other day, just messing around with my subs(SWS-1023D's in a "folded horn" box), i decided to run one of them reversed with the other one regular. also in my adventures, i placed them in the far back of my trunk facing(subs and port) towards the cab. I was suprised when i cranked the music and heard not only an increase in SPl but also a better SQ . Now being the Noob that I am, im curious to why this resulted like it did. i tried searching other forums but failed to come up with any useful information. and if it is a simple explination, why wasnt it set up like this when i had installed? Thanks for any and all comments

so im thinkin about getting a single btl 18 or bl or even a q. i heard of people having to run seperate batteries and new alternators and running more wires. will this really be neccasary? my truck is just wired for a amp and all that right now

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.

Im running a 2500 watt @ 1 ohm amp into 2 SSA icon 12"s rated at 1250 watts rms each. what gauge wire should i use to run from the amps single output into the woofer box, then to the speakers from inside the box?

Does anyone have pics of all the different color dustcaps you can get for the Fi subs? Im getting a Fi SSD 12'' and looking to see what looks good. Thanks

If I can only run one monster sub what would be the one sub everyone would use?

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…

hey aiight...so im a noob at all this sorry to say if any dissappointed or anything...but my cousin got me hella interested in this kinda stuff...like seriously he had one sub woofer like top of the line and it rocked my world! it literally vibrated my eyebrows and funny thing is...all of the good quality subs my friends speak of like: sony xplode, JL, JBL, anything like that was crap... let me tell you it was one 12" sub and and hit HARD and it was CLEAN! so...i was definitely wondering if anyone...ANYONE can help me out with some really good quality subs and amp for roughly eh $1,000.00 thanks for any help i've been looking into subs for the longest time...so any info w…

Well, they are shipping and I do have mine. It sounds great, the output is less than I am used to, but still more than I need. Listening to songs the biggest difference I notice is how pointed and short some of the notes actually are compared to how long they seemed on my BMs. They sound much closer to my B&Ws in my room, just pin pricks of sound where it should be with no hangover. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a true SQ sub. Now the caveats: If you are looking for a loud sub that can take more than 1000 watts this is not the sub for you. This is designed specifically for a 1 cubic foot sealed box, that is it. They are also designed to only take 1000 w…

Hello all, i need help and maybe someone here can help. Been trying to reach some one at Fi but i cant get a responce, I've emailed them directly and called but could not leave message and left Shawn a message on here, i would really like to not have to buy 4 new subs from a different company, but i need to get my build going, if any one can help that would be awsome. Here is a copy of message i left for Shawn here on the forum. My name is carlos and ive had my subs since 09. 2012 was my first year competeing, totally had a blast. Flash forward 1 year later and totally want to compete again. Started doing 145.xx and ended with 155.4 I currently have 2 18inch fully loaded …

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.

Im just curious if i get 1 15" mag what components should i look at? that would compliment the sub well.... what if i got 2 15"s? I have alpine coaxail and eclipse coaxails in right now.

Once I took my speaker out of the box I noticed some...issues.... Overall the speaker looks to be in pretty good shape except for one thing - the pad has come off between the cone and the tinsel lead / spider. On top of that, it looks like the tinsel lead came unstitched from the spider. I don't think this will be a huge issue but if there's a way to fix it I would like to try so I don't get tinsel slap (I think I was getting that before). Well here are my basic questions - - - - What kind of glue should I use to attach the pad back to the cone? I was told the glue "goop" should do the trick but if I don't have to run to the store I don't want to. Would just plain old sup…
