Subwoofers / Speakers

So I wanted to ask some questions about XCON's. How much wattage can these things handle? I'm looking at buying two 12 inch XCON's for my second sound system ever. Last one was stolen, but since then I have a viper alarm and a bunch of other safety stuff. But anyways, I just wanted to know a little more about them since on the website it doesn't really say how much they can handle. Also, one of the package deals on the website for a 12 XCON with a Sundown amp, is the XCON a 1 ohm or 2 ohm sub in that combo? And can that amp power two of the XCON's? Or would it need to of those amps? I would greatly appreciate these being answered.

Hey everyone, new member but I've been lurking for awhile searching for a solution to my bass needs but figured it would be smarter just to tell everyone my situation and get some personal opinions. SO, I'm looking for a single or dual sub/amp setup for my passat and i want to spend no more than $600 on it. What I'm used to: In my s-10 extended cab i have a 10" type r (swr 1042) powered by a 400w rms pioneer and a 12" MTX square (ts85) powered by a 975w rms kenwood amp. The type r is in a .5^3 sealed box and the mtx is in a 1.6^3 vented box tuned to 35hz or so. I enjoy what i have in the s10, works well for dubstep and all flavors of rock which is mostly what i list…

is there any more out there?

I've been trying to figure out some theoretical expectations from a few subs using Winisd. I want to use a sealed enclosure, but I can't figure anything out with the SSD (12 inch Dual 2 ohm) until I know the higher qts. Does anyone know what it is? Hopefully I'm not being dumb and just can't find it.

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'm looking to upgrade my stock system, just something simple this time. I'm keeping the factory HU, which has pretty good output, and I have a JL 300/4 that will match (needed balanced differential inputs on the amp to match the factory HU). Now, I'm thinking about the speakers. I want to do components in the front, and ignore everything in the back for now. I'll run the setup active using all 4 channels from the 300/4. The car is an 06 Acura TSX, and I'll keep the components in the stock location, which means up to 6.5" woofers in the doors, and tweets on the dash (stock fires into windshield). At this point, all I need to figure out is the speakers. I want to ke…

So my cousin sold me his RE SE 12 for 60 dollars saying it was popped well it's not realy popped but the coils are pretty dark. So either way I am going to RECONE it from FI. I am planning to throw 1000wrms what options should i add for that extra power handling. Oh and it has a rip on the cone so part of why I'm reconing it.... http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/mmps/009_322afe5dab37dba5_1/5.jpg?partExt=.jpg&&&outquality=90&ext=.jpg&limitsize=615,500

Hey guys have seen alot of painted boxes and for the build I'm doing I wanna go with a House of Kolors blue on the box. What kind of prep work is involved in setting up mdf to be painted? Is it neccessary to resin the whole outside of the box or will a high build primer work on mdf? thanks.

on ebay there is a pair for 600$ i wanted 15" s but this looks like a good idea. the problem is there a single voice coil. whats the benefit to having two coils as opposed to one, and is there quality difference? is it just coil configuration or does it spead the heat out by having 2 coils. i have always heard dual coils are better. can some one please explain.

im looking for some new door speakers for my crx. they need to be 5 1/4. im planning to buy a kick panel and put some 6.5s in there, but i would like them to be the same brand and model. im looking at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12261_JBL+P560C.html and http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13968_...ppa+50.9cs.html does anyone have experience with these? if not, any imput on something else i should get? im open to any and all ideas, not set on these sets at all. i would like to stay under 150 for one set, though. i will be runing these with a Kicker 06ZX350.4 that i just bought from rushnrun =) i have a 15" bl in the back, ~3.5 ft^3 at 33 hrtz running off of a saz …

Hey guys im pretty new here and iv just got into car audio heavily in the past couple months. Iv been slowly working my way up and not i rest with a Memphis m3 15" and a pr500 amp. Question is what do you guys recommend for some serious bass. Iv been looking into a Fi BL and sundown saz1200 is that a good choice or do you think there is something in the 6-800 range for amp and sub. Im totally open to anything but id like to keep it a single 15 seeing as the box i just built is for one.

well the guy with the 18" sundown v1 nightshade wants to trade. his sub, and now $75 for my alternator. so would anyone here be intrested in the sub if i get it? i will have it reconed with a stock coil and cone, or i can sell it as it is now with one ripped lead and u can have it reconed to whatever you want.

I just bought a 2011 Mazda 3 and since I just bought it tonight I haven't had much time to really search everything out about the car but from what I found online it looks like it has 5 1/4" speakers which I know there is two speakers in front doors and two in the back, i'm not sure about the rear deck or any tweets around the dash, which I will check tomorrow when I get a chance, but anyways I was wondering if there is anyway to fit a 6.5" speaker in the 5 1/4"? Should I just get two front speakers or two fronts and two rears since they'll be in the doors, which I do plan on amping them? I know this is all personal opinion, but I mainly listen to metal, but I also listen…

Ok i know this is the ohm load i want but are the coils that are run + to - being used or just the + to + and - to - ones being used Thanks

My brother. Dont know what size amp or what kind of amp to get he is going to get 2 icon 10's in his 1996 olddmobile any suggesstions

Has anyone played with these before? How are they and how much power do they really need?

Hi Guys, My dust is coming off what is the best glue to use to put it back on. The dust cap is made of kevlar.

I already have one 15" MAW and i love it. I would really like to add another to the mix. If anyone has one that they are willing to sell, or you know where i can pick one up please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I have an old JL enclosure that had 2 10" w3s. These are the first w3s from the late 90's early 2000 that only handled 250 watts per sub. Those subs required about .60-.90 cubic feet (litres) The enclosure was a prowedge. These are the dimensions: 32.25 x 14.5 x 12.75. The enclosure is sealed with a divider in between the subs. I wanted to use the enclosure and put some other subs instead of JL. So given the dimensions of the enclosure, can anyone recommend which SSA subs would be perfect for that enclosure? Or even any other subs out there? As far as cost and power, Im willing to work with what ever. Thanks

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

So far I know of some mainstream subs that can have decent output sealed like JL Audio or Kicker. I also know the AA Havoc's are supposed to be suprisingly loud sealed, but that's in a much higher power range. What non-mainstream subs in the 500 watt power range have good output sealed. I know the dcon's are great subs, but much better off ported than sealed. I have a friend that wants a pair of 12s or 15s sealed off 500 watts and I'm trying to steer him away from maintream and to run something different than the JL's, RF or Kicker that everyone has around here. I'm just not sure what non-mainstream subs are capable of getting loud sealed. I tried the dcon 12s seale…

Curious if anybody out there in SSA Land would happen to have the old Tempest specs?
