Subwoofers / Speakers

hey guys, im just curious to know everyones thoughts on the sundown sa8 v2s. pros and cons of the sub and does anyone know if there is a sa10 v2 in the making?

I'm going to replace the speakers in my 98 blazer. Would it be worth it to put components in the back or just have components in the front and coaxials in the back? i plan on my this amp http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-+Power+Pack+180W+Class+D+Bridgeable+Multichannel+Amplifier+with+High-Pass+Filter/4769803.p?id=1218524495173&skuId=4769803 and these are the components i want to buy http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34373_Alpine-SPS-610C.html If its not worth i plan to buy alpine type s coaxials

My next setup is going to consist of a single 12" driver in a Khaotik ported enclosure. My question: As far as output goes, not SQ by any means, which is better suited for my situation? A Fi SSD 12" or an SSA ICON 12"? The sub will be seeing around 1500 watts, probably not the full 1500 but that's about RMS on the amp. I'm looking for strictly output. I have all electrical necessary for the setup. It's just that after shipping, these 2 subs are about the exact same price, and same RMS rating. Just needing input, on the output of them lol. Thanks ahead, -Shag

Waiting on you Nick

hi guys. i just want to share some installs that we have made here in the philippines. "Proud Member of Team Projekt AI" PART I (sometime May 2008) The System Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P80RS Separates: Focal POLYGLASS V1 165V1 Rear Fills: Focal ACCESS 165CA1 Subwoofers: Digital Designs 3515e (2) Amplifier for Separates and Rear Fill: Rockford Fosgate T15004 Amplifier for Subwoofers: Massive Audio P3000.1d Mono Amp Rear Extra Battery: Kinetic hc2400 Installer: Projekt AI

No, you did not read that incorrectly... it says 302. Today I built the final incarnation of the SI 302 crossover, Nick and I are both very happy with the result. The set uses a 7" poly-cone midrange driver (5 7/8" cut-out) and a textile dome tweeter. Some key features: - Designed for OFF-AXIS mid installation (door install) - Extremely strong midbass (50 - 63Hz X-over is no problem at all) - High power handling for an entry level set, rating pending * They are taking ALOT more abuse than my old XR set... I destroyed an XR mid in my car. Crossovers: 15-gauge inductors (massive) Low Tolerance Audio-Grade Resistors in Attenuation network Hand-picked combination of Metal Fil…

After sitting here looking at a XXX with a broken basket. I decided I wanted to make another 1 of a Kind woofer. And let me say this beast wangs. XXX motor with lots of custom labor and a LOT of work to cross-breed an MT and XXX the following pics are the results. And Here is the LMS for specs on this woofer.

First off I know the coil and magnet gets warm when driven hard, but right now it is hooked up in my house to 250-300 watts rms, and I was watching a tv show at half volume, and I need to take my sub out afterwards because someone bought the box it was in, and i felt the magnet and it was luke warm. I am just wondering if this is normal and, if it gets warm at low power, how hot does it get when its driven at 1800rms for long term, in the car??

alrighty lets try this again.. earlier i noted that i was looking for new 6.5 mid drivers. luck as i would have it my drivers side 6.5 went out the other day... so ive been looking around and the cadence cwm6 componets have caught my eye. however, im not entirely sure if they will fit due to the size of the magnet. aswell as depth... here is what i have to work with... here are the window tracks that make me question if they will fit.. just shy of 2 1/2 inches and here is the MAX depth before the window.. just a little past 3 inches with spacers maybe its possible to push the speakers forward? it almost seems i have about 3/4 of an inch to push forward.. i want to …

What is peoples opinions on it, and where do you find the specs on it?

Opinions wanted I'm looking to build my box between 6-8 cubes I will be running around 3,000 watts RMS to the sub I want to spend between 400-600 $ I am not going for SPL at all, I want pure loudness and lows With that said, I have talked with quite a few people about this decision I need to make within the coming weeks and so far I have a few I am very interested in. 1.DC Audio Level 4 XL 18" 2.Fi Audio BTL N2 18" 3.DD Audio 9500G 18" 4.SSA ZCON 18" All I want are opinions about which I should go with while keeping all of my needs in check Any help is greatly appreciated and right now I'm leaning towards the DD! Check this out as well, sooo sick! 4 15" DDs

hey guys i need some ideas i was going to run an 18in solo x in about 9cub box tuned to 35hz on a daily run and ive heard storys that the solo x cant really deal with daily pounding so i need some ideas on someother subs that will put me in the same range in output as the solo x and just a little bit better SQ then what the kicker puts out any ideas??

I'm trying to decide on the most efficient route for my summer build..I tried to come up with different variables about one of the two but no luck... Three ethos or two sp4 on 7k watts 1.sp4 Higher quality 4"vc Larger enclosure 4th order friendly Can take a lot more than rms which man's room to upgrade amp(s) with no worries Ethos More cone area Lower price tag Doesn't require large enclosures

I'm torn between an HDC3 18 and a UFO 18. Will be in 8 cubes with 1500 watts. I like the lows and sound quality doesn't matter too much for me.

Are NASTY. Ive only had them in for a day and i will do a proper review, but i just had to say Ive NEVER heard a more accurate, brutal, or precise subwoofer in my life. Im amazed with only 1 hour listening time. Keep it up SSA. WOW Edit-My suv hates me now im pretty sure.....

Let me start by saying that in no way, am I bashing this sub. It is god like compared to the mainstream brands I have always run in the past. My current system is 1 12" Fi BL w/ cooling on a Sundown SAZ 1500.v3. The box is right from the cut sheet on this forum, posted by ndmstang 2.4 cu. ft. @ 32 hz. I think. 1/0 ga. big 3 with Shuriken bt-80 in the trunk, stock alt. Sound deadning throughout. 2004 ford focus. I think I overshot my goals a little. During an audio show at the local shop, I hit 131.4 @ 36hz. Doing demos for people with Dubstep, I always hear about their vision blurring and noses itching. "WOW look at your car shake!" On that end of the spectrum I could …

Hey guys..forgive my "noobness" as I am pretty new to car audio. I am checkin out some comp sets and such and am curious about a couple brands. Are Polk or Pioneer Premiums any good? I really have no clue. Thanks

This is one HOT woofer! i like the cone cover heres the rear end: upside down: nice shot of the surround: RE8 comparison. If the 700 had the bumped backplate like in the proto pix, it would have easily been beefier than the RE8:

Will be using them for SPL competitions in IASCA.. will post my scores here.. Power - 2 Sundown SAZ1500Ds Batteries - 1 Powermaster D2400 up front and a D3100 at back Powermaster 140A alternator Headunit - Pioneer 6000UB Preamp - Soundstream 6XO Audiocontrol 6XS Crossover some hott dust caps! stitched tinsel leads, nice! the score to beat is 150.5dBs on the termlab (151.6dB AC) i made using a pair of Audiopipe TXX 15"s name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt…

Wassup everyone??? Im in the process of getting two 12" SA-12's... I want to port them.... but dont want to take up the entire trunk in my car (Looking @ a 2011 Dodge Charger). Per the info I copied below ... it says I can go with 1-1.5 cubes per sub but I just have to tune higher. Can someone tell me what the optimal size would be 1.25 or smaller per sub and the port area and tuning frequency I listen almost exclusively to rap music... Please assist! Enclosure Suggestions: 1.75 ft^3 ported tuned to 30 Hz -- F3 of 26 Hz * Tune higher and use a smaller box for more SPL oriented setup (Use 1 - 1.5 cubes) * Enclosure can be as big as 2.25 ft^3 with lower power levels 1.00 ft…

Here is a couple of my new subs for my new build! TC9 motor based custom "Chuck Norris" woofers! Good for about 2K a pop and they should MURDER the Lows! The others arrive tomorrow! Can't wait! Gonna run a few on the Opti @ .7ohm......Should be able to slam on these puppies ALL DAY!!! Here are some pics....vid will be up shortly that also has info on my wifes new build!

Ok so I will be getting an 18 soon, still debating whether an AA SMD or an SSA XCON (The SMD is like $400 more, idk if the gains are worth that much) Anyways, before anything I know I need to have my electrical ready so here comes my question. Right now my Ford Expedition is 100% stock. It only has a 2000D powering a Pioneer 12inch sub with 1000watts RMS. I know the Big 3 is A MUST HAVE. But, do I need a new alternator? Do I need a new battery? Do I need more than my stock battery? The reason to ask is because if I get the sub + the enclosure, I will most likely have no money left for a new alternator or new/extra battery. And hopefully the 4gauge that I have right now wi…

I am looking to piece together a component system which will consist of Mach 5 MLI-65 mid-ranges or AA polys between those 2 for mid bass. For tweets I am looking at Seas H1396 or Vifa D26nco5? I will probably go passive then active when I get my Sundown 100.4.... So whats the better tweeter between those two?

how would component sets sound mounted in the wall behind me? in the wall will be 3 15" mts. i already have 2, im looking for a third. this is kinda what im going for(dont care about SQ really at all lol)
