    I just got a Fi Q12, running 1000watts from a memphis 16-PRD, and i really need new front speakers, from the stocks. Since the bass is so powerful, i need something that will blend well with the sub. I have a 2007 honda accord V6 EX-L. I am looking for a set up that will sound fluent and smooth with the sub. I am looking to spend around $400 for an amp and a pair of speaker. Do i need anything else to get the front speakers working, (Rewiring, new cables, anything?). because i am on a budget and i really want my setup to sound good.

    Well I currently have a solox 18 and I know that they are two different subs but I got the opertunity to pick up an 18 that hasn't been used for a used price and then I figured I would purchuse another to even it out. I understand that the 2 subs are totaly different. The RLP's will see about 1200 rms. I know thats a little over rated but I figured in the 4 months that I have owned the solox I have cranked it 2 maybe 3 times for about 2 seconds a time so I figured I would be pushing it but should be ok. I would install them in 10 cubes at 27 hz in a dodge ram extended cab. I think that they would sound good and still get pretty loud but would they get louder than the…

    I really wanted to get a Fi BTL 18" subwoofer for use in a car and possibly other various occasions. But I took a trip over to Guitar Center and tested out the JBL MRX518S. I was amazed with its volume and clarity. I have never heard the BTL so im curious if it can get louder/sound better than the JBLs even if it is not in a car. If anyone knows anything that would be a great help. Thanks. Also I understand that they are not really similar speakers, and I plan on using it more when it is not in a vehicle.

    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.

    My buddy just sold me his SSD 12's already in a ported box at about 6 cu. He poked two holes in the surround of one speaker, I knew of this prior to buying them from him. I'm wondering what my options are. I do not want to re-cone it myself, I would like to send it in. However, he has had these subs for quite sometime, I'm almost positive the warranty has already expired. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

    Hey guys i have done some googling and looking around but i cant find a good enough answer to my question... Its it ok to invert subs when mounting them? The general feeling is due to the low frequencies it is ok but at what crossover level does the sub being inverted affect performance? I was thinking of mounting my IXL 10 inverted to protect the cone from occasional lose crap in the boot plus the motors look really sexy :clap: However i cant help thinking that the motor structure must effect the sound quality as the air wave is being impeded by the Basket Anyway if you guys could give input that would be great I was thinking something like this with 2 IXL 10's *This i…

These are the ones i am going to buy. http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=eKs-BP Will these fit in an icon voice coil terminal? Should i just run the wire into it?

    How are these subs? Are they loud? Do the sound clean? How do you think they compare to the SSA dcons? I'm getting either a pair of the Level 2 15s for sealed operation, a pair of Level 2 12s for ported or a pair of the dcon 12s for ported operation. I'm looking to purchase one of these pair of subs today! Do the Level 2s get loud sealed? I just want a loud and clean setup. Either pair will be powered by 700 watts.
