Subwoofers / Speakers

So here's the lowdown, I have a 93 Subaru legacy sedan and I'm looking for a sub and an amp.About 70% of what i listen to is metal, and the other 30% is mostly dubstep with a bit of rap thrown in on the rare occasion.Basically i want something that will sound good with the double bass and fast bass lines in metal, but still have some thump for dubstep.Looking to keep it under $400 for both.I've been seriously considering a dcon 12,but i saw a vendor selling an open box sa-12 in the classifieds.I'd like some good sq but in not an audiophile, if it will sound good with music I'd be more than happy.

hi i am wondering wich set of 6.5 components would be better or sound better the cdt EF-61CF or diamond audio hex. can you tell me how good the set was was if you owned any 2. both are about the same price range.thanks

I might purchase a pair of bravox cs60k component speakers. I just want someone who has heard them to give me some info about em.

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 …

Here guys a sent you the link, because I can't post pictures here. thanks. Link

Moved my Q to Mach 5 Audio Forum. Thx!

I have a RF T500-1bd and I want to try one of these pairs of 10s ported. My girlfriend bought my sealed dcon 12s off me for a great price! Please correct me if I'm wrong, the size of a ported enclosure determines how efficient it will be? I'm going to throw of one these in 1.5 cubes each chamber tuned to 33hz - 34hz. If you've had experience with either of these subs I'de love your input. Is anyone able to tell which of these would be louder? This is the last time I'm going to ask this, I'm either choosing one or the other due to which ever gets more votes.

i was thinking about buying 4 18" nightshades and walling them ... how bad would they sound with techno music and just as a daily driver ... ik 18s are huge and i still want them to sound good and punchy... just throwing ideas around

Has anyone had experience with these? I have read that the scs line is the ones to get if any but was wondering what people have to say about the components in general. Will be most likely looking at the 5.25" comp set possibly a 6.5" set.

Can a DC Lendl 3 15" take 900 rms daily with no problem?

Ok, lets dispell some myths about speakers. I figured we could have a small list of the different ways you could "blow" a speaker and have a little technical explanation to go with it. I also want to talked about clipped and unclipped signals and thier effects on a speaker. Ways to blow a driver 1. Degrading of materials This one is plain and simple. Speakers get old. Typically when a speaker gets old the surrounds go first, especially in stock speakers. most surrounds are made of a foam or rubber and time, heat, sunlight (common in dash mounted speakers) cause the materials to degrade, and then when you play them again they fall apart. 2. Thermal Limits of a driver When …

I'm looking to get a good sounding component set for my front doors. The car I have is a 2006 Corolla Type S. I'm going to get a 150 - 200 watt amp to power whichever I get. These are the ones that fit and caught my eye. Alpine SPX-13REF Boston Acoustics Pro50 SE Infinity Kappa 50.9cs JL Audio ZR525-CSi Pioneer Premier TS-C520PRS

2 15" MB Quarts Ported 1200Watts vs 1 15" FI BTL Ported 2600Watts in terms of SPL

Got a new vehicle, so its time to upgrade the sound system. Vechicle is a BMW 750i. The stock Logic7 system sounds better than I excpected, but the "subwoofers" under the front seats seem to be more like mid-woofers. I listen to mostly rap and R&B. I was thinking a single 12 or a couple of 10's sealed, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm also not brand biased....I'm just looking to get away from mainstream subs. I'm not building an SQ system or anthing, but I want a balanced sounding system. My goals: 1. Add some low end punch to complement the mids and highs without overpowering them. 2. Maintain some usable trunk space 3. Not destroy my car....(last system …

i got w blown re audio sxx 12 and i want them repaired does anybody know were i can send them off to so i can get them repaired i stay in bakersfield ca. name of websites would help thanks

I am in search of good mid-high range speakers for my car doors. I am looking for good sound for a reasonable price. I was wondering what you guys thought...

Hello all, I'm looking to upgrade on some equipment on my 04' Jeep Grand. I've been out of the scene for a few years and need some advice on equipment. Here is my set up so far: -Alpine head unit -Front stage: Dynaudio 7" seperates, powered by PPI pc275 @ 4ohm (100w) -Rear fill: Infinity Kappa 6.5" coaxils, powered by head unit -Subwoofer: 10" Audimobile EVO vented ~40 hertz, powered by PPI pc275 @ 4ohm mono (300w) -much sound dampening Goals: Keeping the Dyn's are a must as well as the head unit. I would like to use 2-10" subs or possibly a single 12 in a smaller vented enclosure-2-2.25 cubes (space is an issue). I listen to metal and would like opinions on tuning feq…

Just getting back from a deployment and there are alot of new stuff out there so... I'm looking into getting a pair of 10s. I was looking at the IDQ and IDMAX but since I got to this forum I'm seeing sundown and ssa as well as some other's. I already had a box built to hold the IDQs but right now I'm running two american bass dx 10s which by the way for 35 a piece I'm rather impressed with them to say the least. What would you guys suggest. Right now I have a choice of running between 900-1700 rms and the box I have I think has 1.5 cuft per chamber...

what's the best direction to face subs with a enclosure that's going under the rear seat?

I was wondering for those of you who own this particular sub, what kind of enclosure do you have it installed in? I'm considering porting it. DLS recommends sort of a high tuning. I'm thinking tuning it to the low 30s. I don't want to have any peaks in the response, so I want it to tune a bit lower than what DLS recommends (or should I just stick with their suggestion?)

If i were to run 4 Level 3 15s, i have some competition questions about them. I do like that they have a 3" coil by the way Ok anyway, i plan on running a 3500d per PAIR of Level3s if i went with them. For daily, it wouldnt be that much, just for comp. Under heavy excursion- What will happen first- Bottom out or tinsel lead snapping? During music play, will there be tinsel lead slapping? Under heavy overpowering- When running a 3500d on a pair of Lvl3s, i know this may be hard to answer, but what should i expect if i run a 30sec average on music with these at that power level... and probably clipped if i still hadnt reached xmech yet... I'm tryin to find out just …

If the box is small for the sub im using (in cubic ft) will it damage the sub...... Thanks

I am starting to build a system for my car and I need some help and opinions on what to run. I want something that is incrediably loud but can be listened to everyday. I was looking at maybe 2 15 SSA XCONS or 2 15" FI BTL'S. Not really worried about the cost. I have plenty of time to get everything and in the military so deployment money helps buy the stuff. i will be upgrading the electrical system as well when I do this. Its all goin into a 2002 monte carlo. Has a lot of room in the trunk. I can run upto a 10 cubic foot box. thanks for the help

bout to order a xcon n need to know something real quick...D1 can be wired for 2 ohms right?
