Subwoofers / Speakers

hey everybody, I was just wondering if people on this board have used them before...any feedback, pros/cons about these subs? I will be using them ~30hz, mostly musical (daily use) and some competitions. Just would like some hands on info about them... Thanks, Andrew

ok so my friend at the audio shop was using his audiocontrol spl meter with and his gates cd in my car....i peaked out at about 51-52hz at 147.7 and on some streatbeat songs i pulled a 147.1,i think thats a decent number for my 2 12 SX's and my nine.1.So are far as in the future for what im gonna do im not sure yet only money can tell...lol So do you guys think thats a decent number for streatbeat or do i need to bump the power up a bit??

I dont care if they are components or coaxials but im getting a sundown sax50.4 but i need door speakers ill take any suggestions the amp does 50 per 4 at 4 ohms or 80 per 4 at 2 ohms. Im trying not to spend more than 100 maybe 125 including shipping. All input is welcome thanks

Hey guys, I'm on the market for a new set of comps. I'm currently running some old-school green Infinity Kappas that are good, but it's about time to retire them (they're about 10 years old). I plan on auditioning sets before purchasing, but some other viewpoints would be appreciated. Specifics Enclosure - custom sealed kick pods (will be having them made soon) - I have Q-forms kick "pods" now, but they aren't enclosed - so it makes my current set sound wimpy. Size - 5.25" set Tweeter - preferably silk, but I'm not opposed to metal domed tweets Amp - MTX Thunder 4320 front channels (around 80 watts per side) Music - I listen to dynamic, melodic metal the most, from acou…

Anyone care to look into the crystal ball and tell me where we will be at in 5+ years for subwoofers? Back Story: I own a near mint 10w7 and a 13w7 in pro wedge box. I'm deciding on selling a lot of my equipment (locally) because I've upgraded (Crescendo 3500) BUT I KNOW in about 5 years time, when I buy a different car, I will be "starting over" and probably starting small - 1k setup. And because I'm nearly giving this stuff away, I'm beginning to wonder, do I store it and use it 5 years from now because I'm saving a few hundred dollars ... or get rid of it, even at a few hundred-dollars loss in hopes that equipment is going to be EVEN BETTER in 5+ years? Besides my iss…

black frame #70 SMD now all got to do is make a nice enclosure for this 18" baby .......

Hey guys New to the Forum so dont hate if this is in the Wrong section . Alright to the point Im doin an install this comming spring The front stage is Focal Utopia Tweeters/Mid/Mid bass (1inch,3" and 6.5") No Rear stage. This is being installed in a 1991 BMW 850i (This is a Daily Driver) The truck space i have doesnt allow for a 13" or 15"sub So im planning to go with 2 12 inch subs ( Sealed Enclosure? ) This is my first install so i do not have a prefference yet to if i want a lot of bass or a little nor do i have much listening experience to other setups/speakers. What im looking for from my subs is bass that i can feel in my chest and to have clarity i dont n…

My girlfriend has a Sundown SAE-1200D and wants a single 18 that'll pound in 4 cubes sealed. She prefers the sound a sealed setups. These are the ones that caught her eye.

Do you have to put it in the oven? Cuz the glue around that thing is super super hard like fiberglass, and i can't cut it off/

Hello everyone. It`s Marcos from the U.K. The only person in Europe (as far as I know) who is using the new 15" Magnums. I hope you guys can see these photos. Last time I was on here I had difficulty in doing it. Anyway. Here goes. Starting out: It looks like a house. The baffle is in. And look what`s going in it. 4x 15" Magnums 3x 6" Aeroports. The box is 20 cu.ft. Tuning it to 27Hz. Is this O.K.? Please tell me you can see the photos?

Hey everyone thanks for having me. So I am rebuilding my substage after blowing one of my ID 10s last week, which I had 2 of in a sealed enclosure with .6ft^3 each...and it was "lacking" to say the least. I have a 2005 F150 Supercab and I'm pretty limited to what I can put under the back seat. In getting back into car audio after over a decade, I am blown away by the kind of output todays subs are capable of, even from single driver systems. In talking to custom enclosure guys, it seems I'm pretty maxed out at around 2ft^3 which I'm thinking will be around 1.75ft^3 after port displacement (tuned into the low 30's) I'm looking for something that will have fairly signific…

found a blown mtx 9500 15 on my local craigslist for $30 so i figured id get it and have it re coned by psi. i contacted team psi and caco and he told me $175 for a 2000w re cone. ill have $195 in it and if i can get $250-$300 for it, why not? i was talking to my buddy i sold my solo x 10's to and he said he wants to do 1 15 in his car and told me that if i wanted, he will give me the 2 solo x's for the 1 15. what do you all think?????

So i'm getting bored... i have a sundown 1500 and i want to try out some different subs.... thinking about maybe three different subs.... the icon or the mag or the nightshade.... wut are the pros and cons of both.... and if you have any personal experience with them please share... thanks!

Whats a good amp for 500 rms at 2ohms just got big three done and stock alt in single cab. I may just be a noob but ia it better to run at 2 ohms rathrr than 1 to not tax the hell out of my electric

which would be louder 2 12 ia lethal injections or 1 15 ia death penalty both on 1600 rms in a 92 ford taurus in about 4.5 cubes tuned to 32hz aero port

hey im looking for some 6.5" components and i cant decide...ive been talking with some other guys from another forum, and he told me not to really spend a ton on components becuase i will be wasting money becuase i really wont be able to tell a difference for what i want them for. im not going for an A+ sq system...when i get my subs im getting 2 15" RE MT's with an orion 2500d on each...i just want loud bass. so basically i want 2 sets of 6.5" components that'll just keep up with that much bass...i dont want the bass to like drown out the mids and highs. the guy ive been talking to has like a wall of 4 15" mtx 9500s and he has like 4 sets of audiobahn components glassed …

Well, I'm looking to painlessly install some stuff in my truck I don't feel like cutting and welding and I MUST retain all of my bed, so the only space available is behind the seat, I've done some research and the best value to me for my buck seems to be the JL 12TW3. I was looking at the Alpine Type Rs, but I'm not spending $600 for one driver. . . From Alpine. . . That's just absurd. Does anyone have any input or experience with any other brands?

I recieved my xcon 15" a week ago, and Wow! where do I begin? After obsessing over craftsmanship (simple yet eye catching) I ended up using a 3.2 cu. ft. enclosure tuned to 30hz. This beast is powered by a 1000/1 (4 ohms) and a nak for the sound source. If there's a way to describe how hard and clean this thing pounds, It's bruce lee kicking you spot on your chest with the music. This is a great subwoofer, I've heard W7's and this one takes the cake especially at its price. Enough talk here's some photos: My ride quick comparison to alpine type r 12" Boxed, carpeted, ready to thump! I would like to thank Aaron, Mark, and the rest of the people at this company for excel…

I can't get the dustcap to stay in place,what am I doing wrong? Rubberized glue didn't hold,CA didn't hold,5 min epoxy didn't hold.i ruffed the surface of dustcap w/emery cloth. Time to step back and punt! Also the first two weeks after the recone I had to keep volume down my amp would protect on me. Now I can full tilt w/no issues,confused on that also.

I found a 15inch zcon sort of locally for a good price but I dont have enough experience to tell if for sure it is. I will post the pictures of the sub, just dont want to get burnt as its a good deal and kind of seems as if someone could pass it off as another sub. From me comparing pics, the surrounds are the only thing that stuck out to me in the pics between all the ssa lines. I am on my phone now but will post pics when I get home. There is no pic of the dustcap and thats what has me wondering about it.

I just ordered two Fi Q 15"s and i'm taking the 2 15"kicker cvx's out! My amp is the memphis 2500 or (Mojo) my car is a 97 honda civic... ok to the point will the Fi's be louder than the Cvx's in a big sealed box...ported is not really an option for me cause i'm leaning more towards a flatter response on low end and more towards sq!! but will the Q's still be louder than the Cvx's??? the box is 2.4 cub.ft per chamber! I know that your input on loud would be a ported box....but sealed which will be Louder?? Thank you

So yet again for the umpteenth time I am changing my sub bass setup. Now that I have an excellent sounding front stage an over powering sub system ruins it. My front stage is also very loud, loudest front stage I ever had. Although I am not looking for the output I have had in previous sub bass setups it still needs have a volume level to match my front stage. One thing I can not have is a large enclosure. Largest possible would be 3 cubes gross. I am thinking about going IB. I would not have to mess around with an enclosure and from what I have read they are the most accurate sounding sub bass types. I keep eyeing up the Fi IB3 series but what other options are there? M…

So friends down under can now take advantage of decent pricing on Mach 5 products from Affordable Drivers. They have received their stock and are now shipping: http://www.affordabledrivers.com.au Best, Mark

Ok I was thinking of replacing my current mid bass drivers, which are rockford fosgates t2652-s. They are a component set. I was looking in to the crescendo pwx 6"s would this be a good upgrade? If so what kind of amplifier would I need for them? I currently have the fosgate t400.4
