Subwoofers / Speakers

My enclosure engineer keeps on insisting to make it 1.25 cubes. Couldn't break every1's advise here to go 1.5 after displacement. WTF is he recommending 1.25? This fukker is also not concerned about the thickness of the MDF, I cant remember how many times I reminded him to make it 3/4" inch. How thick are they usually? If it requires trimming to make it 3/4" of an inch, that f00ker probably wont even bother. =\ I think Ill get another one from Gnome. What is his site's URL?

Go here, http://www.stereointegrity.com/order.html That pretty much explains it all.

I am wondering about name infringement, but I am assuming RE and Soundstream are already talking about this debacle.. but here is the new monster: link to page, for specs scroll down.... http://www.soundstream.com/sub/products_amps_xxx.html

Hey dude.. I'm not sure if this thread is appropriate(I apologize if it isn't) and I know your probably really busy testing/packing magnums and whatnot, but I just wanted to see if you'd gotten my email that was sent wednesday night. It was sent from [email protected]. I sent the email regarding ordering a 12' D2 and paying with paypal.. needing the email addie to send payment to. Please let me know something soon man, no rush though, I know you have alot to do.

hello everyone, its nice to meet you all, im new and have been reading alot about these subs and looking all over the forum and have found alot of help and interesting stories and such. my brother had bought a ed12o hooked up to a tsunami 1800 im pretty sure and its nice, to me and what im used to hearing, it booms; it sounds lovely. its in a custom fiberglass box that was molded and put in the back corner/side right behind the wheelwell of his 2002 z28 and fits perfect. i think its close from .8-1.2 cubit feet. it sounds lovely. i dont want to go ed though i wanted to try the magnums out and am going to buy a 15". i wanted to take the spare tire out of my car (93 cou…

All this hustling & bustling with enclosures,has ne1 tried a free-air install with the Mags?At one time I tried it with a eD12O,it sounded OK but it didnt have enuff output for my taste.Maybe 2-12's would've done it, anyhow I think I read that some of u are going free-air,I would definitely like to hear ur input.NO Nick,I'm not plugging my Mag into a wall socket nor am I doing any free-air test tones(LOL),just wanna know how they would do in this type of setup.So with that said lets get out the MDF and start cutting out those baffles! :boink:

Hi there. Just joined you all the way from a rather cold England. My name is Erskine and I have a very strong working interest in Bass Box Designs, anyway I have just been given two nice new Magnum D2's which I shall be putting into one of my tried and tested Three Chamber Internally Ported Reflex Boxes. As the D2's are two ohm per coil, have previous owners got a preference for the wiring options. Both coils in series or parallel and then both speakers in either series or parallel. I will be using a Genesis Monobloc rated at 1650wrms [1200wrms with my current electrical set-up] into one ohm and I am more of an SQ guy rather than out and out SPL. Just interested to hear …

Will this be good enough for a Mag 15"? I want it real tight.

If Nick says it is punchy and tight, then let my town rain with 15" D2s. Any1 here want to justify why they would go for a 12"?

Is a JL 500/1 be enough power to really pound my mag 15'' D2? Also is there any other amps with comparable features/sq as the 500/1 for a less price and maybe a few more watts? I really like the 500/1 and have got many positive reviews. Does anyone have a birthsheet on one of these puppies?

Now everyone knows that LR posted his free box of the week on CA and it looks good to me but then again i dont know much about it, he does. is 3.2ft^3 big enough ? hes got it tuned to 32 and that seems so much easier when you have all of the cutout sizes laid out for you in that diagram. im thinking i might want the tuning more at say 29 but im not sure. i was going to go sealed for the easiness of the construction versus ported but im lookingat my options as of now. anyone care to comment?

Going to the shop on Saturday to get my box ready. I will go for a custom sealed box measuring 1.5 cubes. As people here already know, I am a n00b in car audio. So please I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions. What should I tell the guy to do with my box? Thickness, volume, material, etc.

Nick, please give some guidelines on how to properly wire your D2 to this amp.

Nick I would appreciated any feedbacks from you or the others. I have a 99 Accord with a cup holder that pulls down from the middle of the back seat and creates a tiny rectangular opening through the trunk. Is it advisable to face my D2s directly through this hole from the trunk through the little hole in the rear seats? They are charging me 500 for this type of install (fiberglass). Let me know if this is advisable. All I want is a tight and punchy bass.

Could use a lil trim though..... She seems to like gold You look Loyd'esk in that pic Scotty.... Scott....3 words... Gillete...Mach....Three (The turbo is worthless )

one thing stands in my way of a 12 inch d2. low low end. i wanted to know how this subs low end compares to a infinity kappa perfect 12.1d my bro has that sub and as long as i can runble as low and be as loud whil being low as that sub, im content cuase his sub low end lvl is fine for my ears. stuff to give examples for you to compare on is like the intro to evanesecne song wake me up in side. that a low rumble or say the huge bassline right befor the drums come in on angels song from sevendust. i dunno if this would qualify as really low but i know metallicas song the sand mans intro bass drums are the most low hardcore bassdrums ive ever heard. hows a d2 on something li…

i'm building my new crx style box for my dd 9515 2-morrow. i wanna know what i should tune my spl port too.i have it designed for 50hz right now,but i wanna wait and get some peeps opinions on it 1st.i will be building a 36hz daily slip for the box also. i'm gonna call digital designs in the morning and see what they think. thanx guys. charles :thud:

i measured my truck dimensions for where sub will go. ( i cant fit that 15 inch so i guess im going 12 well with my space requirements i can either fit the sub firing downwards or firing forwards/backwards. the problem is its a tite fit so if i build it to downfire it wont fit if i face it forwards, forwards wont fit firing downwards. which way should i face it? what differences will forwards or downwards have. i refuse to face it upwards becuase my luck ill drop something right on it. and i cant find any nice grills for high excursion subs.

Hey Nick, how well do you think the 15 will work IB? And what about power? I'm thinking about 300. My car is already setup to be run IB, so it's merely a matter of building a baffle. Has anyone ever run a Mag IB?

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone would know from experience why the HC's aren't put in sealed boxes that often. I seen on some forums people who want to put the HC's in a sealed enclosure, but then other people are like "no don't do that" but they don't give a reason at all. I searched and searched but haven't been about to get a real solid answer. I ask RE and they said that they don't sound bad but they don't get as boomy. However isn't this true with most sealed vs. ported applications. So know I am even more confused about the situation. I have 2 of the 15HC I bought from the sale if you guys are wondering. Spring break is coming in a couple of weeks so I plan …

Maybe the members here can help a brother out.Tomorrow I would like to start building a slot ported box for my 12" D2,I would like to tune it between 30-32hz.The space I have available is: 36w x 15d x15h, I've given up on Winsid so I would like it if ne1 can share some ideas and also figure out the port length using;2"w x 13.5"h x ?.....Thanx all!.....BTW Nick ,she's working fine !

I've given serious consideration to selling my D2 12 and purchasing a 15. At the moment, however, I would only be able to throw 460 watts rms at the thing. My 12 in a 2 cube box at 28 hz gets louder than I ever need it to with that many watts but will the 15 respond the similarly? I do plan on upgrading to a 1000 watt amp sometime in the future but it wouldn't be for at least another couple of months. I would probably put the 15 in a 2 -2.5 cubic ft sealed box, but space really isn't an issue. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Mike

Nick do u have any T-shirts/hats?
