Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey everybody i have a quick noob question how would you wire a dual one ohm sub to 2 ohms?

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.

I recently just blew my 15n2 Btl fully loaded. I am looking to recone it and am interested in upgrading it to an n3. Is this possible or just recone it with the n2? Thanks andrew

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.

I have seen on a few places here that people are noting the dif between using push teminals and a piece of 8AWG wire soldered to the tinsel leads and the ensuing point of both side of the discussion is "Well, that adds resistance" I will be posting a vid of my findings, seeing as how all talk is speculative, mine included. Testing one piece of 8AWG on a 1ohm coil - .01ohms Testing one piece of 8AWG by itself - .01ohms Testing one - Push Terminal - .02ohms Testing one + Push Terminal - .02ohms Testing one other - Push Terminal - .02ohms Further testing - I left the frame for an American Bass XFL12 D4(frame only) in the freezer for a…

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.

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

Hey guys, pretty new to this forum. I currently run a boston acoustic G512-44 off of a rockford p1000-1bd amp. It is in a sealed box and sound really good. I gets pretty loud, ok for my ears anyways, 120-130. But anyways, I was thinking about getting two Mach 5 IXL-10 BR woofers. My goal of this upgrade is to have the same great sound just add a little more oomph once in a while. I do not usually crank it all the time, but when I'm in the mood, I would like a more output. I listen to Rock/Rap almost all of the time, with some classic rock and R&B sometimes. Not sure whether I would go ported or sealed. (ported with the BR series of course) Has anyone used the IXL…

hey me and my friend just instaled a system for a friend and he gave us a infinity perfict 10 for doing the just but it is dual voice coil and one of the tensal leads are riped out of the sup how can we fix this do we have to take the dust cap off

Not a big box (a single 12 sealed Subzone wedge). How much to ask for shipping???

how do these 2 brands compare if they do the icon and the dc lvl 4 subs?

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

I'm looking for something that sounds good but doesn't break the bank. They will be getting 50-60 watts per side. Zapco i-6.2 http://www.woofersetc.com/p4965/i62--Zapco-65"-IForce-Component-Speakers.htm Image Dynamics CTX65CS http://www.woofersetc.com/p6201/CTX65CS--Image-Dynamics-65"-Component-Speaker-System.htm Or if you can recommend something else better in that price range. Thanks

ok i have 4 sets in mind. http://www.woofersetc.com/p6201/CTX65CS--Image-Dynamics-65"-Component-Speaker-System.htm with this amp bridged. http://www.woofersetc.com/p6750/TRX4300--Soundstream-4-Ch-300-Watt-Amplifier.htm http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17121_Precision+Power+PPI+356CS.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle# any amp suggestions for these? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9128_JBL+C608GTi-mkII.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle with this amp bridged http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19262 http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-Type-R-SPR-17S-speaker-component…

I noticed that the BL differs between the two options on Fi's website. Do they perform the same? I see that they are almost exact in sensitivity. How does this work if the motors are different strengths (different BL's)??

well my original plan was to get two FI BL 15's, and i have ordered one and i am using it now and i really like it but my girlfriend wanted a sub just like mine so i have to order two more subs and due to the fact that im going to have an 8 cube box i think im going to go with two FI BTL N2 15's instead, running on a crescendo bc5500 instead of the bc3500 and im going to do the big three with a 270 singer alternator with an overdrive pulley then an xs d3400 under the hood and i was going to have a single d3100 in the back but im guessing ill have to add a second one, and the box is going to be tuned at 33 hertz also. gonna make the little colorado FLEX! Any comments or co…

Recently purchased an Image Dynamics ID8v3 and built a vented enclosure tuned to 32Hz with 330w from an RE Audio DTS 1000.1. Love the SQ of the ID8, but now wanting more SPL and volume. I have a limited air space (0.6 ft^3 max) and limited mounting depth ( 5.25"). Was wondering if an SD-2 10" @ 2 ohms in a sealed enclosure would have more SPL than the ID8 in a ported 32Hz tuned box? Also, what would be the minimum air space for an SD-2 10" and recommended port tuning at 560 watts? Thanks

What should I do with them? They are RFP-1408's, I bought them off Craigslist a while back for $30, now they're just collecting dust, what should I do with them?

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.

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".

I currently have a 15 in mach 5 ixl with a sundown 1000 watt amp. I have about a 3.5 cubic foot box with a port. And i recieved my email from SSA and saw the 15" icon is on sale for $295 and was thinking about upgrading to it. I really like my mach 5 because it hits extremely hard just for having one sub, it sounds really good with all types of music but i mainly listen to rap, and I was wondering if you guys think I should do the upgrade. I havent heard an icon and was wondering if it would hit harder and if there would be more positives than to negatives if I would switch subs? Thanks.

I bought a 2 12" TC-3000 last year, the DVC version with lower BL. I went to a shop and got it installed, but now I want to try and redesign my system, by building a new box and possibly purchasing some new amps, but I don't know what the T/S parameters are[DVC's should be different than QVC], the wiring diagrams[ohm load] or power ratings. I've checked the old TC website, but they only provide information for the QVC version. I've also tried calling them, no luck.. Are there any tools I could use to figure this out or is there anyone that might have all this information.

wanting to order the Fi ssd10 sub. But the dustcap. I rather have a all black sub with brushed aluminum Fi in the middle. Or is that what it is asking when it comes to dust cap. Is it asking what color i want the Fi in the middle?

ok so i've currently got a single RF power HX2 15 on a saz1500. problem #1 its got a blown coil, problem #2 its currently in a sealed box im pretty sure is to damn small. the reason for the small sealed is i had to work with the wood i had layin around to make it fit so i could use my back seat. previous box was 4ft^3 ported tuned at 33hz. now im almost certain i dont have room back there for 4 cubes ported if i reconed the sub with upgraded coil and suspension. so im asking you guys for suggestions on a setup that will get loud, low, and move some air while sounding good in the cargo area of the 93 mustang. still plan on using the saz1500. been looking at and liking the …

Could someone please explain how these work. I know of the advantages of sealed and ported over eachother but where do these fall in?
