Subwoofers / Speakers

Just ordered my IA 187 12'' I was wondering if anyone can look over my numbers here to be sure that the box I'm planning on building will work correctly.(for a 12) IA Suggests. Ported 2 cubes - 2.5 cubes, 20 - 30 Inches of Port, 28-35 Hz I have designed a box using this tool. http://www.reaudio.c...t_Box_Calc.html Width 28" Box Height 16" Box Top Depth 12" Box Bottom Depth 18" Wood Thickness 0.75" Square Port Width 1.5" Square Port Length 4" (seems to help tune it in) This gives me. 30.063035251515 Hz It may possibly be less once i put the sub in and account for the .09cuft of space that takes up. I'm asking here, with these variables, Will this box sound good, and work w…

i bought this sub maybe 5 years ago... i bought this sub while on the search for something more then the normal JL kicker blah blah blah.. meanwhile this sub was like 400 bucks.. and i found one that had a broken basket for 30 bucks or so so i bought it only to get it in hand and see how it was build, and the quality of the sub.. long story short.. i bought 2 BL15s and thats how i met SSA, any how.. this thing has a 4 inch V/c and so forth.. i guess my question is... before i put it on CL for 20 bucks.. can this motor be taken off and used on another basket??? and if so will FI's or someone elses 4 inch BL VC be used on a 18 inch sundown basket? anyhow im all j…

I aquired the subwoofer mentioned above. It has a built in 5.1 amplifier, and a 10" sub. My question is, since i do not have the remote for it, how do I switch channels to have it play off the input from my computer? (rca) it has 6 channel inputs, l/c/r/s/rl/rr and it has two aux stereo inputs. But, i don't know how to turn it to the correct channel. Thanks for any input. I do know a bit about circuitry; Moving a few wires wouldnt be an issue.

Just curious does anyone have ant info. on the new lvl4 xl. Already a proud owner of 2 lvl4 d1's, an awesome set of subs. How could Rusty do any better? Beside those amazing lvl5's.

after wanting a nice pair of subwoofers for a while i decided to go with some fi bl's but im not sure with what options to get them. do they come with woven tinsel leads ? im going to install them in a 97 silverado taking the back seats out i want to put 2 18's. i already have the amp and is a kx 2500 thats the reason im going with bls and not btls. i usually listen to hip hop reggaeton and country and im not going to compete just love loud loud shaking music

I am interested in using two Flatlyne 15's in an IB install in my Civic sedan. Are the Flatlynes ready to be run IB or do I have to special order them to be set up for this application?

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 wish I could enter this forum under better circumstances. I was taking a my 15 Inch Fi BL out of the box and I poked a hole in the surround. I need to know how to repair it or if I need to get it reconed. I have a few pics on my photobucket. http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm58/JoeTheChessMaster/ Any info would be great.

Somehow i just discovered that the tweets are blown in my door speakers. Right now i have american bass SQ coaxials in there and i was thinking about going with their component line. The closest i have found to match the components that AB has are the pro series sm16-90 from soundstream. I have the amp to power them but wanted to know how they would sound in my doors, i have plenty of highs and bass to compliment more mids.

On a possible pair of 12"s that could handle. Basically becaue i dont have space for 15's and i want volume maybe over sound quality so, basically i have looked at so far 12" juggernauts mmats re sx but i think they cant handle that much dc soundlab? deathpenatly's IA I mean Just wondering if people got suggestions

i forgot i had this and found it in the closet. its got a small crack in the cone. what should i do with it. would it be worth trying to get someone to recone it? tried testing the coils and im getting all kinds of numbers sitting next to my icon thats waiting for a box to be built

In my introduction thread, i had a few set ups for my dodge intrepid that I had in the past and the present one that I do have. My new project is my suburban ls What I am looking for out of my subs is just something that is really hitting hard and worth my money. my thoughts have been -four 15 in subs -two 18 in subs (fi btl's) the amp i plan on running on any set up will be the 2500d orion i am really interested in the Pioneer Premier TS-W8102SPL. has anyone ever that sub as a set up or know any good information about it? i just need some ideas and some knowledge on what will work best for me.

My friend has a TC-3k 15" Subwoofer for sale for $280 and might be able to get it down to $250, worth it?

i have some blown rockford hx2 15's and i have seen people recone them with other brand recone kits ...does anyone know what one fits the hx2

Wassup guys I'm doing a port swap in the next few days and trying to get opinions/suggestions. I have a box 39.5h x 41.5w x 13.5" d (outer dimensions) with a port 12h x 10w x 40" l which gives me 6.8 cubes tuned at 31hz with 17.75 port per cube. It's just not giving me as much pressure I want on lows. The new port is 12" o.d. Pvc (11.5" I.d.) x 36" l with 2-4" external. This will give me about 8 cubes tuned at 29 with 14.25 p.p.c. I don't have anything to lose, and I'm not building a new box until I design a 6th. So what are your thoughts on what I have now?

I am trying to remove the factory speakers from the back deck of the G6 but I am Not sure how to remove them. The Speaker grills dont seem to pop off. There are some clips in the trunk around each speaker but when I undo those, all it does is loosen the entire back deck Any Idea on how to change? Also I have 6x8's from my old car I would like to put in. But the factory size is 6x9? Will it still work out Fitting the 6x8's in? Thanks in advance ~MadroX

Hey guys, I have an s10 with a FI BL fully loaded 10" and a sundown 1500D on it. I have an alpine CDA-7893 HU, with polk audio coax speakers in the door and dash. I have already put sound deaden-er in the doors. What I'm asking is what amp and component speakers would you guys go with in an s-10. The door speakers are 6.5" I recently took out my sub and amp from my truck and I'm loving the leg room back. So whatever I get out of selling them is what cash I will have to put into a new component set. Im thinking 330 shipped for the amp, and I'm not sure on the sub yet. I'll probably go with buying a used 125.2 amp, or maybe something different. Would you guys go active o…

I am currently running two 12" JL w3s in my car and I am planning on upgrading. I want to be able to hit lower frequencies and have louder bass. I was looking at buying 2 13.5" JL w6s when I discovered Fi's subwoofers. I have watched a few videos and searched online and I was hoping that someone here could give me some advice. I was going to get a ported box and whatever amps and wiring necessary to make the subs sound good. What will have better sound quality and what will be louder overall? 1 12" Fi BTL or 2 13.5" JL w6s?

i am about to buy this little monster read good reviews on it but also looking for a good amp to pair with it

Anyone have any experience with there products ?

Good evening, my underseat truck setup finally kicked the bucket so I'm going to finally upgrade like I've been wanting to, doing a budget friendly soundqubed setup to match what I have now, (SQ amps and highs and mids) I drive a 2002 F150 supercrew (4 door, 5.5 foot bed) too and powering low end stage off an SQ 2200d. My questions are: 1. Is a regualr ported blowthrough possible with 4 15's ? All I see are 4th or 6th orders around (trust me I have searched a lot) My goals are to be loud, low and clean. I modeled different enclosures with WinISD and I get the best response with a ported box versus a 4th order (probably because of the stupid high QTS). 2. Is a clamshell a…

Anyone on these boards live near either Austin, TX or DFW, TX make boxes? I'm gonna need a ported box made and don't have time to make one. I'll pay well
