Subwoofers / Speakers

what do you all think? i am building a seald box for a pair of mags. can i tune a sealed box? if so to what hz? also should i go with a bit of a larger box to accommidate the two drivers, instead of the recomended size? my amp for a pair of magnum d2's? tarantula 1600w mtx 1500w rocford fosgate 1500w any other suggestions on what amp i should get

im looking for some idea's on what would be the best type of basket. what is the main job of a sub basket besides holding the sub together. give me the flaws of basket designs and what would you do/need to fix them. im looking just for the perfect basket design, so all you guys that know the ins and outs of a sub please reply with your comments... thanks jamie

Magnum's are coming! 12" and 15" versions will be available on (estimated) February 27'th. The baskets that we previously used (the "claw" basket) are no longer available...ever. The company that made the baskets went out of business. The baskets we will be using are the 12-spoke baskets finished in a silver/gray powder coat. Pricing on the 12"s is $300 shipped (as usual), and the 15" versions will be $350 shipped*. *Pricing on the 15's is subject to change after we receive the drivers. $350 shipped is only for orders received before we obtain the shipment. Pre-orders are now being accepted for the 12's and 15's.

I want to see everyone's installs.... EVERYONE'S PICTURES PLEASE!!!....no excuses....

Well first off, howdy to all. Just joined the fourm and im sure i have some friends here from sin. What i was wondering was how many people here have inverted their sub? Nick told me the basket would grow on me a long time ago and it did. Has anyone else seen a sub with the same basket?

i was just thinking if there will be other sizes boxs like a 15. thanks jamie

Im thinking about building a box for my magnum D2s which would be about 2.5cuft a sub and the box will be tuned to 34hz. Is that too much? Do you think i need to have a 2.0cuft box tuned to 32hz? Im not doing any competitions, but i listen to ALOT of rap. And i want something that will make my subs pound insanely yet hit EVERY note of bass while doing it. I dont want the subs to bottom out or nothing when the bass drops too low. So is the 2.5 ok or should i reduce it to 2.0. And what about the tuning frequency?

Check it out: www.stereointegrity.com/hometheater.html These are unfinished pictures of the Esprit speakers. They will look totally different by the time we're finished with them. BTW: The guy in the middle is 6' tall.

As the topic states: Are there plans for making grills for the D2, or do you have any recommendations on what to get? I really need one so I can keep stupid bastards from touching the driver when booming or piercing it with something. Slapped one that touched it once... He'll never do it again, hehehe

I don't have amgnums yet, but I'm planning to get them soon. But I'm going to start planning and building the box. I want a ported box for 2, tuned to between 28-30. My max outside dimensions are 15.5h X 19d X 35w. How long and wide should the port be? thanks for the help

i have a single Powerbase XS 15 coming and want to make a box for it but have no idea where to start. It will powered by an XTR Pro 2400 going in the trunk of an 02 Grand Prix. on the site it says for 4.5 cu. ft. internal, and a slot port of 36 sq. in. x 15" long. Does that 4.5 cube internal space include the port area, or do you have to figure that in too? That is for the recommended tuning of 34 hz. Also, would it be benefical at all for to tune a little lower, i was thinking maybe 31-32ish, i wanted it be able to play low also... It will be for daily driving, no comps at all, i just want it to sound good and get pretty loud also. Thanks, any help is appreciated. If an…

Does SI have something up their sleeve on the component side? Something like the RE XXX6" in a 3 way comp system?

Have spent some time in my car, tuning frequencys and adding/removing sheep wool from my 1"cuft box now. And the result is outstanding from what I can hear. The tight snap from the D2 really compliments the sound from my BA PRO 4.5 & 6.5 components. Slammed in Eric Claptons "best of" cd, listened to some Metallica, Korn, Toccata & fugua and a lot of other stuff. The only conclusion I can come up with is that this is by far the cleanest thing I've had in my trunk; I borrowed a sealed RF 2112 and hooked it up, and man what a difference in sound in comparison to the D2, blurry and with no thump. The Kappa Perfect I tried next sounded much better than the RF, but coul…

I'm looking to put a sub in my g/f's car. i want it to be as loud as possible. im open to suggestions on how to tune the box and model of sub. here are the requirements: must have a final ohm load of 4 ohm 300-500w rms atleast a 12" or 15" MUST BE UNDER $100 SHIPPED (NEW OR USED) any help is greatly appreciated. I've been looking around for some time now, and cannot decide. It's going to be in a 98 Ford Escort ZX2. Thanx!

I have two Stereo Integrity Magnum D2's and want to port them very badly. I am looking for LSQ about 60/40 SPL to SQ. Ill be giving each sub 800 true watts. This will all be going in the trunk of a 2000 cavalier. The biggest box I can fit in their is 30w x 15h x 16d. I want to tune the box to anywhere from 30 - 35hz if possible. What is the biggest box I will be able to make to those dimentions and what will it be tuned to? Will I have to use round ports or is it possible to use a single slot port. If round will there be any port noise and if so how noticible will it be? I am making box by tommorow so I would appreciate responses as soon as possible. Thanx.

Right there ... oh yeah. Will be running ~ 1000 watts. I'll make the enclosure fairly large - can always take away airspace if need be. It'll be sealed this time around (no way I'm going to try and figure out a port), question remains ... how big ? - Steve

Looks like this new awesome sub will actually be going into my girlfriends alero. The goal that I am trying to acomplish is to make everything hiddin from the trunk view. So the sub will fire into the cabin, as well as the port. I would like to seal the box from the trunk, and match the fabric from inside the trunk so you can't tell that she has anything in there. I want this sub to get reallllly loud, it needs to sound pretty good too.. but loud is good I am pretty good at building things... i have built a few sealed boxes that worked really well, but i have yet to experiment with a ported enclouser. The hifonics 1000D seems like the amp i am leaning towards, but i ha…

who has gotten to play with this beast???

Newbie post here....Just thought I'd be a whore and show my Magnum pride...first post for the SI Forum...MUAHAHAHAH!!!

Heres the situation...I have Boston Acoustic NX67 (around 5yrs old) in the back of my rsx. The problem is that when i raise the volume on my Alpine 9807 HU to around 15 at 200hz, mid-range +4 I get severe distortion from these speakers. A ppi 2240 amp is powering both these speakers and the front CDT Classic Components. The Comps sound beautiful at this volume, you can really here the mids and highs articulate and hereinlies the problem. I want to be able to play my deck at this volume at this specific x-over frequency (200hz) without the rears distorting. Would I be best suited to 1.) replace the boston coaxials with a speaker that can handle higher rms, 2.) replace…

So i have cdt comps in the front and i like them at this volume and i only have a 2 channel amp ($$). So...my boston rallys in the rear distort like crazy even when i only run them off the amp and i dont want to run them off the deck cause i like the imaging i got now i just dont like that i cant take the volume past 15 at the mid level i have at 200hz...perhaps its time to replace them? I want some coax that wont distort easy how are these cyrstal audio csx615?
