Subwoofers / Speakers

Haven't had a sound system all winter and I'm ichin to get back into the game. I'm gonna be picking up my 10" d2ohm XCON pretty soon and since I haven't done a 10" build yet I was lookin for some ideas/pics/thoughts and or some nice build logs featuring a ported 10. I think imma do sub and port up leaning towards sq. Supper pumped to be back....its been too long

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.

I read somewhere that they will be back up and running in late October? that would be sweet. I sure hope they get back into it, such a great company/product/service etc. They are a no B.S. company I like to say, you get what they tell you you get, a damn fine product with unbelievable quality. I also hope they don't abandon the SI 8 idea. sure could use some.

You have emails.

I recently purchased a pioneer double din touch screen head unit for my system which works pretty damn good. I have type r coaxial speakers running my interior speakers strapped to a hifonics 400 watt amplifier. For the subs I am running 2 12 inch pioneer pro series subs strapped to an hifionics 2000 watt mono block amp. I am running straight auxiliary inputs from the back of the head unit because i simply use 2 amps. All of a sudden today everything put out nothing but static. I disconnected it because I could not find out what the issue was and this is the second time it has happened. It happened with my previous pioneer head unit which was a single din flip face …

anybody know where I can get an 18" RE XXX for trade?

I'm trying to install them but the post are not marked which is positive and negative, how can you tell which is which?

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

i have been with out subs for sometime now and i am looking to find some 8"s. The last subs i had was some RE 15"s in a ported box. i liked them but wanted my back seat back. what i am looking at is the RE 8"s. looking to have them ported but need some help with a box also. if anyone would like to give there 2 cents feel free thank you also looking for a good 5 channel amp to push the 8"s and 2 sets of 6.5 components.

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 was thinking rockford fosgate power 6.5s 2 sets of them fiberglassed in the door panels powered by my apline headunit with the alpine powerpack i can get them for 90 a pair so if anyone knows of better for cheaper or the same price them let me know

I am driving a 2006 Dodge quad cab pick up and need suggestions on speakers. The head unit will be an Alpine 138bt and I just bought a Zed Leviaten. I am waiting on a Fox acoustics 12" sealed box with probably a PowerBass 2X subwoofer going in. The truck currently has Polk Momo 6.5(rear) and 6x9(front) in the doors. I like listening to Rock, slow jazz and acoustical music. I'm looking for some tips as to whether I should keep the Polk, run the sub off the Zed or get another amp for the sub. I would like to hear clarity as much as possible. There are also two tweeters in the dash that I don't know what they are.(installer threw them in for me.) Would the recomendation be a…

Anyone tried these sealed? I don't want to take up a significant portion of the back of my Tahoe since I have baby things. So has anyone tried these sealed per the specs? Just so you know they won't have a ton of power on them. Just the sub channel on my Kicker ZX700.5? I'm trying to get something that is a louder and lower the JL12W3's in there now. I'm moving those to my Camaro.

So I finally am buying some decent subs and I bought two level 2 15s I have a 05 scion Xb with the back seat in it still I have modeled up boxes on Winisd it's my daily driver but I also go to spl comps so I want it to play loud and low. Open to anything just lookin for help I was thinking 4th order but I am confused about cubic feet dc says 3 per on there site I have a mb quart 2000.1 and dual 2 ohm subs thanks a lot for the input

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the JL Audio Stealth Box or similar products. I am considering a stealth install in my 07 Tahoe, with this as the possible cornerstone of low frequencies. I am also considering Diamond d661s component with the silk vs the aluminum tweeter. I plan on using these in the factory locations 6.5 mids in the doors and tweeters in the A panels ie the factory locations. I was also considering USD 6.5 mid bass in the rear doors also in the factory location about 6 inches behind the front buckets. Amps (amp) are/is up in the air. I was considering a 4 or 5 channel of unknown origin to achieve the solution. Musical tastes run the ga…

Im about to sell my two z 15.s and I was wondering what will be some good subs to replace them with that's along the same price range?

Simple question here how much can a vvx 8" handle? I know it says 400rms but for those who own them would I be able to put lets say 600rms for daily use? And how good are they?

first up the btl recone old box 2 15's btl's the crappy single box i made out of the box above, lol on to the recone get that dustcap off first nice cover the hole and while i was at it got teh ca off the leads and pulled the old tensil out easier said than done.. resolder the new leads in and used some goop to cover them resolder back to the post and put the cap back on wt some gasket glue

Hi all.Im wanting to replace my 2 type r 15's with 1 18 or maybe 2 different 15's.I would like to just have 1 18 so I was wondering what would be a good 18 to replace my 2 15's?Right now I have a clarion CZ 200 head unit, and a Autotek 1500 Street Machine amp.My car is a 1977 oldsmobile Delta 88 and my subs are in the trunk and thats where the 18 would go also.I was thinking about the FI BL 18" sub.Im not real familar with any other brands so any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks. EDIT: Forgot to mention I would like the single 18 to be louder than the 2 15's

I was wondering if I purchased 1 Fi BTL 15" if it would hit harder the 2 Type Rs and what would also be a good amp to power the Fi BTL or would 2 Fi BL 12"s be better then the 1 15"

If I put a 6.5 rms 100 watts and a 3.5 at 45 watts on the same channel would the wattage add together or would I over power the the 3.5 trying to power the 6.5. The 3.5 are for location. And they are both 4 ohm loads.

I already posted this but i haven't really got any opinions and i want to get this project done as soon as possible and that is why i am double postiny. Now i know its all install dependent but which setup will be the loudest n have great sound quality out of these choices: Basically im looking for a great realiable amp thats super efficient with the most true watts *90 amp alt *0 gauge amp wiring kit *Box probably going to be 2.2 @ 33hz (its in a 99 saturn sl2) 12" Fi Q or 12" Fi SSD copper coils, BP power and with what amp? JBL GTO1201.1 II 1114 X 1 2ohm 115 amp 3X40fuses Apline MRD-M1005 1000 X 1 2ohm Heard only draws 90 amps INFINITY 1211A 1300 X 1 2ohm Kenwood KAC-…

now i've heard that tweeters are very tempermental. i've heard stories of them conestantly blowing due to WAY to much power.... now upon thinking you could just hook up a crossover and restrict the power? right? also with the current engineering of the 6.5's and 6x9's is it even worth it to put in 2 or even 4 tweeters? (two in the front pillars, two by backseat passangers head). also the V-MAX cerwin vega seem like a good deal for about 50$ you get the 2 tweets and a crossover or in that case is it better to go with a higher end tweet system (if one is needed at all) and spend the extra 40$ per pair? my current system (after getting some things) 2 alpine type S 6x9's in t…
