Subwoofers / Speakers

I saw some mj-18 motors for sale and I was wondering could those be reconed into 15's using IXl baskets and softparts? if so please let me know. Thanks, Ryan

I'm not 100% sure that I'll say all of this right, but I'm going to wing it. Let's just say you want to build a single reflex bandpass box, but you want to use a sub that isn't recommended for sealed enclosures. How do you find out how large to make the sealed part of the enclosure?

i was wondering if some know the power handling of these subs. i've been told that they was 750 watts rms and max 2000 watts and ive also been told that they was 1500 watts rms and 3000 watts max. i tried to call bob at american bass but no answer. also i was trying to find out was wold be a good size box to put these subs in.

i just got into car audio and also just ordered my 12"bl and i mostly listen to rap and im wondering whats the best tuning for the fi, where it hits the lows awesome as well the the mids and highs?....any feedback would help

Been out of car audio for some time... and now, with my new car... I am addicted again I was able to pick up a set of Boston Z6 comps for dirt cheap (yea Craigslist!). And have them hooked up to an old MTX amp, don't even remember the model, that I had laying around. Since these are 3ohm and I have them bridged to the MTX 4chan... the MTX doesn't like it. I don't think I ever had an amp get that hot. So I am looking for amp recommendation to power these hungry things. Any ideas? Thanks!

which one of them is louder and hit harder for my bros 1996 convertible top Chrysler sebring just lookin for a 800 rms total system upgrade so if u got suthin better and good price let me no but no more than 800 watts please the trunks not that bigg.

is there a recone kit available for a MAW 15? got coils rubbing. thanks in advance, Dave

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?

Hey I was wondering do the lvl 4 subs have the option of the CF cap?

Just received my 2 12" zcon's today that I purchased from brownm3. They look gigantious compared to the kickers, lol. They are in super awesome shape and stiff as hell. Super excited and hopefully can get these in this weekend if I can make it to get the batt. Very easy transaction and a big thanks to brownm3 for the sale.

How does this sealed box look for a 12" Magnum D2? I wanted 1.25 cu ft but w/ driver displacement I need 1.35 cu ft. 2333 cu in. = 1.35 cu ft H" x W" x D" 12.5 x 21.75 x 12 - External 11 x 20.25 x 10.5 - Internal 1.25 lbs polyfil Is that too much polyfil? Not enough? I tried to stay as close to the golden ratio as possible but I don't want the box to be more than 12.5" high. So does it look good?

I plan on buying the DCON to put in the trunk of my sons car. It will be powered by an Alpine MRP-M500. I have the recommended specs for the ported box. My question is does any one have a top firing and top port box plan for this sub? I plan on cutting holes in the rear deck to allow sound from the trunk to enter the cabin area. Any other Jetta folks out there with any ideas on the best way to get sound into the cabin with the rear seats closed?

Hello, I am currently in the market for a sub woofer box for a Fi audio X 12 sub woofer. I have been trying to get the specs right with RE audio calculator but it seems I am in need of help. I have room for a H 14" x W 22" x D 22" sub box. I want it to be ported and tuned @ 33Hz I will be powering it with a amp that pushes 500w @2 ohms. Thank you for all of your help. Link to the Sub. http://store.ficaraudio.com/x12/ I plan to make it out of MDF.

Heres the situation...I have Boston Acoustic NX67 (around 5yrs old) in the back of my rsx. The problem is that when i raise the volume on my Alpine 9807 HU to around 15 at 200hz, mid-range +4 I get severe distortion from these speakers. A ppi 2240 amp is powering both these speakers and the front CDT Classic Components. The Comps sound beautiful at this volume, you can really here the mids and highs articulate and hereinlies the problem. I want to be able to play my deck at this volume at this specific x-over frequency (200hz) without the rears distorting. Would I be best suited to 1.) replace the boston coaxials with a speaker that can handle higher rms, 2.) replace…

So I have purchased Gcon from tirefyr while I am awaiting to get all my parts together for my other build. My question about my Gcon. It will be sealed at 1.5 cuft after displacement. I was planning to put the sub in the center of the 30 in wide enclosure. Would there be any benefit to offsetting the sub one way or the other? or am I just over thinking this.

Net Volume: 3.32 cubic feet Tuning Frequency: 36 Hz Port Width: 2.5 inches Port Area: 36.25 Square Inches Port Length: 17.75 inches Will this box work for two 12" lvl3 with 2 ohm DVC's? Than you in advance for your help Z

Im going to upgrade my amps with a Soundstream Reference 500sx for the sub and a Zapco Ag 360 for the components. Considering to upgrade to a single 10 or 12 for now in a sealed enclosure(i can make myself), looking for sound quality, something that makes your chest rumble at the same time. $300 shipped is my budget Rli-10, Rlp-12, 10w3v3, 12w3v3, IDQ 10 & 12, Re sex 10 &12, Fiq 10 & 12, Icon 10 & 12 these some subs had in mind. And do you think a sealed enclosure would match the type of car i have, any suggestions and opinions will help very much. Thanks alot!!!!

I just purchased a pair of SEAS tweets and was wondering if I wrapped them with grill cloth over the metal mesh grill if this would affect the sound.

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.

What size wire can they accept?

Hey guys, I'm building a box for a S8L7 sub and had a few questions. I want to make the largest reccomended sealed box which is .75 cubic feet for this sub. now, a 12x12x13.25 box with .75 thickness would give me 0.74967 cubic feet which would be dead nuts for what I want. now is the .75 reccomended volume including the volume that the sub will take up or do I have to make the box volume .75 plus the sub volume? Also when calculating the wedges, Kicker reccomends a 2x2x.75 wedge. correct me if I'm wrong, but I calculated the wedge volume to be .0017 cubic feet. Where should I put the wedges? are they required in every corner? thanx... dan

Would this be too much? For daily driving type of stuff? Someone said the Memphis Belle will bridge to about 200 watts each for the front. I am considering buying one of these if this won't be too much for the 302's. Anyone got some suggestions?

Dodge charger trunk, here are the options, Im also open to anything somebody else could recomend. 1 dual 12 box about 4ft cubed, or 2 12 inch boxes about 2 - 2.5 cubes each ported. Subwoofers im interested in, GCON, or SA12. (or a subwoofer not much more than $200 each) Amp, a 1500rms or 1200 rms. I listen to mostly rap, heavy bass songs, and some dubstep. What should I tune my port(s) to? I was thinking 32hz What is my best option here? *My original idea was 2 seperate 2 cubic foot, 32hz boxes pushing 1200rms into 2 SA12s.*

Just wondering, will the M series will still be in production once the IXL series has been filled out? Does anyone have an opinion about this? PS: Can't wait to see what the IXL 15 is like!

Hey guys i was wondering if this box is good for the 18" btl fully loaded . it will be for daily use with around 2k to 3k goin gto itbox plan
