some pics of the box i just finished..it's the one in the background of my previous pics..... from the top.... i know it's kinda hard to read, it's my first try at embossing..... but it says.. ryanSdime wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

In the damned school parking lot! Some guys wanted to take a listen at my Magnum 15" so I started up my car and cranked it up for about 10 seconds or so of solid bass to let them see just how clean and loud it would go, and then a few minutes later a cop pulled into the parking lot and got out to have a word with me. He said when he drove by it was playing at an "unreasonably loud level" and that he turned his car around to investigate it. He went back to his damned car and wrote me a ticket for disorderly conduct. I told him that I didnt think there was any reason for me to get a ticket because I always keep it turned WAY down in residential areas and late at night, and …

will there be any difference in sound if my sub box is not extreemly tighly stapped down to be seat.? i can get it to where it stays in one spot but due to position and size i would have to drill holes through my seats to make it rock solid strapped down.

In the 2.0 cubic foot recommended box, how much power can they stand for burping? At what point does the added power stop increasing SPL? I am wondering the difference in 600 wat per driver to maybe 2000 per drive on a burp . Which may be somewhat "extreme".

Which would be louder? Yes this is a stupid and somewhat hard to answer question, but which do you *think*. Two 12s, each getting 600 rms One 15, getting 1200 rms. Of course, SI Magnum D2s....

here is a few pics of a box i just finished for a explorer....the install pic is on another camera.....anyway, the amp was doa, so no beats yet.....however i did hook this up in my truck off my amp, giving them about 600 wrms, and while they aren't my 15's..they are indeed loud and very clean oh yeah..they are in 1.75ft^3 apiece and the box has a fs of 38hz..well, according to mtx specs...so does that mean that it is tuned to 38hz? anyway, it is my first time carpeting a box and i almost didn't have enuff, so in the process a nasty seam was created..but it faces the back seat, so it won't be seen ........ also...i charged $150 including materials,which came to $65 or so..…

Im about to be getting my car and my system is going in ASAP. I know I want a D2, but I cant decide which size. I would like to have a 15 since it gets louder and lower and I mostly listen to rap music, but will the 4.5 cu ft box fit in my trunk ok? I am getting a 1990 BMW 325is so it has a decent sized trunk, but how big is it gonna be really? Anyone have any pics of that sized box? Also, do you think I REALLY need the 15? I plan on running 1100 watts to the sub. This will be my first system so I really don't know a whole lot about the actually sound of things, just word of mouth. Yes, I know I will have to wait on a 15, but if it will work better for me thats no big dea…

I know it was mentioned in the "mag 15 pored for SQ" topic but I thought it deserved its own thread. Has anyone tried this or does anyone know of a good tutorial to make a transmission line box? Beyond being fairly large are there any other drawbacks to using them in a car?

AH, my sole is a rest now. My new baby! Now if anyone has a BLACK A404 or 400X and an A1200, let me know! Question is, use this for sub or midbass duty?

well im so incedibly bored that i want to design a ported box for a magnum 15 inch. who know i might even build it hehe. anyone got some recomendtions? im just looking for the best SQ flattest responce i can get from 20-80 herts. ALL FOR THE SQ! thanks

how much would a recone cost for a 12 D2?

Drive to North Carolina.....what would it look like.... I-40 doesn't look too bad of a journey...only 2286 miles... Sorry..Me = BORED.... <-----needs life...

ok um, is there something wrong with WinISD or what? ive tried the 12 inch and 15 inch magnum in there and for the 15 its telling me an F3 in the low 40's? that cant be right. i ask beuae ive heard people say thi happens in winisd

okay i dont know about the rest of you, but i love hearing stories about how 'x' sub blew my friends away or my co-workers. the 'x' sub in this case will definitely be the magnum. so just post what you have accomplished or what other people have said after hearing it. i'll start. yesterday was the first time i've really let anyone see/hear my 15'' mag. the first words out of my friend's mouths were "holy chit that thing is massive". then they were all that thing moves soooo damn fast it's crazy! i've never seen a sub move faster than that. good stuff. post away people!

Ok....spill your latest stuff.....it may be too advanced for some of us...but I can use a good lesson every now and then on stuff....where you wanna start???

I've had my 2 12" magnums for quite some time now and still haven't set them up. I'm pretty close to it though, now that my alternator is here. Anyways, I have questions regarding enclosure size. I can fit a 2 cf box in my trunk with enough room to spare, but after sub displacement, this gives only 1.6 cf (0.8 per sub) right? Is this good enough? Will there be big difference between 1 cf after displacement per sub and 0.8 cf? Most people seem happy with 1 cf, but I don't know if that is before or after displacement. Each one will be getting like 600 watts from a PG tantrum 1200.1 amp. If I need more volume, I might just port one and sell the other one, or use it …

I dont know if yall have seen this at CAF but it is just nuts. http://fresnoracing.ipbhost.com/index.php?...topic=508&st=25 Turns out this guy spent like 25 grand and he got it done right by some pros who knew what was goin on. Heres what he has: Vehicle: 2002 Chevy Silverado Regular Cab (1) Clarion VRX935VD (1) Planet Audio PLD6 6-ch 8V Line Driver (8) Planet Audio BB1250.1 (Subs) (8) Resonant Engineering XXX 12" Woofers (2) Phoenix Gold T300.2 (Mids) (1) Focal Polyglass 6.5" Component Sets (doors) (1) Focal Polyglass 5.25" Component Sets (kicks) (1) Focal Polyglass 4" Component Sets (b-pillar) (2) Stinger 5 Farad Hybrid Capacitor (Rear Amp Rack) (2) Stinger 1 Far…

anyone have experience running these on magnums? i was thinking about getting the T03 2.2HV. it says in the manuel 750x1 at 4 ohm and they can go down to 1 ohm so im trying to figure out what they put out at 1 ohm.

I got bored today, so I took a movie of me putting a Magnum through its paces. It's 20 Hz, and very cool.

ok here is my system: the head unit is a pioneer premier 750. the low/mid/high is all set to 0. bass is set at 0. sub control is set at 50 hz. and the level is + 6. my amp is a pg tantrum 1200.1 i'm using to push 2 12's in a 3.8 ft^3 box after sub and port displacement tuned to 30 hz. the bass on the amp is set to 0. x-over is down around 50 hz. i can only turn the gain up about 1/5 up and i hear terrible distortion. if i keep the gain all the way down and turn up the headunit a littl i get terrible distortion. i have my rca cable run on the opposite side of the power wire. these subs don't get loud at all before they distort. my 6.5's get louder than these wit…

if opt to not go for the crossover box i still get the crossover correct? dont know if i am mis-interpreting anything. al

Hey! I just found out you guys existed :-p. I was just taking a look at the Magnum 12s and I they look like they might be for me. Would a MA Audio Hk402sx be a good amp for a pair? 1800 RMS @ .5 ohm. Thanks! Alex PS. probably go with a gnome audio box :-p

Nick/anyone who has heard SI components please tell me how they compare (SQ) to other high end component sets like the focal utopia, k2p, cdt, etc.

We're entertaining the idea of releasing an 8" speaker. The speaker will be able to play up to 300 Hz minimum (probably higher), F3's in the mid 40's out of car (even lower in car), and vented around 27 Hz. The driver will feature a low inductance coil, very light moving mass, a stamped basket, and a competitive price. Xmax estimates are around 11 mm one-way. The 8's will be monsters in the car audio environment, sealed or ported. ~0.5 cubes sealed or 1.2 cubes ported tuned to 30 Hz. What do you think?

as the title says, thats what i need. can bend either way 250-350. i need the cleanest, flattest sounding comps you guys know of for that price. btw, silk tweet needed. al
