Subwoofers / Speakers

ive been lookin into buyin sum subs, and ive been lookin at a 15" Fi BL with a kicker zx1500.1 amp (maybe an 18") or i was also lookin at getting 2 12" kicker cvx with the kicker zx1500.1 im lookin to get loud with decent sound quallity which set up is better overall, and which will most likly get louder when put in the correct enclosure thanks

ok, I've pre-ordered some mpyreaudio mids but they put out the 4 ohm mids for adire extremis (i only pre-ordered because there was no 4 ohm version) plus it's a cheaper driver. Specs are similar but not exactly the same. I'm guessing they will be similar but I will be putting it IB in the doors. Does either one have an advantage in the doors (according to specs)? I forgot what specs to look for to see a better IB driver.

how does it compare to other subs in its power range? ex. re se.....

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.

here are some pics of the db's i got beside my re 6.5. they look tiny here are my cdt cl-6x's...they're even bigger than the polks! sad, i never got to here the polks in the car:( they're 6.5's that measure not quite 6.25".

can i put to one 15 MAW dual 4? I know it says 500 watts rms, but i wanted to know if it can handle more power than that and if so how much? Thanks

i was wondering if a sub calls for a 120 sq in port and you have 3 of them do u multiply it by 3 or what?

Hey guys, anyone happen to have the t/s parameters of the Ascendant Havoc 12" in dual 1 ohm coil config? I got them at the end of the summer of '08, so they have the new cone, but they are not the new Dual 2's obviously, so I can't use the same t/s to design an enclosure for them . Thanks guys!

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.

If i want to connect sub-woofer to my car audio then what should i do first?which kind of cable do i need for this?I need clear,perfect sound quality.

i would never mix independance levels, ever. this guy i kno needed help with his system. so i looked at his wiring on his woofers and he had 2 of the same brand woofers and model but had a 4ohm svc and a 4ohm dvc hooked up. im just curious, wat would happen if you hooked up a 4ohm dvc sub and a 4ohm svc sub togther? or is there a way u can hook em up?

I've been planning to build a sub enclosure for a 15" Fi SSD which has recommendations for a box voulme of 3-4 cu ft at 33hz. Here are my demensions, this is my first build by the way so help is appreciated Box Width: 38" Box Height: 18" Box Top and Bottom Depth: 15" Wood Thickness: .75" Square Port Width: 3" Square Port Length 2: 8" Plug these in at http://reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html and these demensions seem to give me what I want, considering sub displacement will be about .8 cu ft Sorry I cant load up any pics right now, If you want I can load a pic of the calculater details later.

looking at revamping my current build in the next few months. im gonna wall off the truck and have about 8-10 cu ft to play with for volume after the port. ive been looking at doing several different driver combos such as 8 10s or 2 18s but open to any other combos people have in mind. gonna keep running the 3500d v2 i have now. i wanna stay around the $1k or subs, and i want to tune around 33hz. going to be a daily driver with some competition use. ive been looking at IA DPs, NSv2s, Zv4s, PSI platform 3s, fully loaded FI BLs,and AA mayhems for 2 18 combinations. i dont think i really have enough space for xcons/zcons. havent seen much in the 10s area i wanna run yet.

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?

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.

My friend has a 15'' audiobahn, here is the link: http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=13516 Right now he has it in a sealed box but i really feel it would sound better, or at least alot smoother in a ported box. I havent made a ported box yet, but im ready to try. But my question is, size and tuning for this sub. I looked all over for manufacture recomendation for atleast size recs for a ported enclosure but could not find anything. I was thinking maybe a tuning to 32hz or so, but not really sure. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike B.

So i have 2 of the old orange basket mojo motors and im trying to find a place i can get some three bolt style baskets to fit them and recones to rebuild them and run about 1750w a piece on them. Any ideas where i could find some parts?

what are the general opinions on the RE SX or the SXX 12's ? ] what are they similar/ worse/ better than for around the same price range?

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

I was looking for some ppls 2 cents on a set up choice. the setup will be a 12" RE SE in a 3cu ft. box @ 33 hz powerd by a kicker 400.1 Just wondering if this will be a good combo. Its goin in the back of a f-150 by the way. Looking for good lows while not sounding like poop. I have had the sub for a lil bit now but am finaly putting it back in my car, last time it was in a 2cu foot box @ 34hz and only got about 200 rms. Hoping by adding more power and a bigger box it will sound better. Thanks

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
