Subwoofers / Speakers

Hi SSA peeps, I have a blown mid and I'm going to change the set, Need help deciding before buying, between the CDT Audio HD-M6 GOLD or CX62 V2 - Image Dynamics 6.5", Which would be a better choice, why? Or any better suggestions in that price range? Thank you.

so, once again... i was surfing the local craigslist looking and hoping id find a nice single 12 and came across 2 kicker solo x 18s... one with a new recone and one used. He was asking $400 each so i decided to lowball the ish outta him.. ended up getting them for... a more than good deal. idk what it is with ppl around cincinnati, but they make me happy haha. almost as good as the aq3500 i got for $150 lol sorry, i had to share!

okay so my gf has these cheap kenwood speakers and the dust cap is starting to come unglued from the surround. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43777_Kenwood-KFC-W12PS.html what can i use to get them to stick back together well. the sub still works obviously but there is an annoying sound i'd like to fix. thanks!! edit: its only about a 1-2 inch part that is coming up from the surround so nothing too crazy lol

I recently blew my sundown sa 15. Cause i abused it. But for now i just want something that with good sq but you can feel the bass. So i think I AM A get 2 alpine 12 inch bass line subs. Anyone know anything about them? Ill be giving them 500 rms. from a hifonics brutus 1200 d

Does anybody know the exact cutout for the Zcon 18"? I will be using a Jasper jig on my router. I know it says 16.75" but I thought I heard it was a bit smaller? They are not here yet and I need to cut my baffles. Thanks.

12" zcon D2 for my jeep liberty!

So I have purchased Gcon from tirefyr while I am awaiting to get all my parts together for my other build. My question about my Gcon. It will be sealed at 1.5 cuft after displacement. I was planning to put the sub in the center of the 30 in wide enclosure. Would there be any benefit to offsetting the sub one way or the other? or am I just over thinking this.

Well guys, after a very loooooong wait...its finally over! And let me tell you, I have not even heard this thing yet and Im already creaming my panties. Here are some pictures, and when I have it installed hopefully a little bit later today I will update with pics. For those of you who already own an SSA subwoofer this will be nothing new for you (but probably brings back some great memories!). For those sitting on a fence trying to decide which way to go??? .... I have to say as far as shipping goes, SSA gets an SSA+. Holy shit you guys do this right! You guys even included a living room table! My son playing in the box. …

My friend Jhovani had 2 15in subwoofers in a blowthrough in his 1999 F150. Jhovani came over today and he asked me if we could put his box from his bed into his cab. So that's what we did.. Unscrewed the box from the mounts, cut the wire and freed the box. This build was done probably 10 years ago so the truck and the subs weren't in the greatest condition. The rattling from the truck and subs was horrendously loud from the interior and exterior. He always told me he thought he had some old 15in JBLs over the last year or so, which JBL makes some high quality subs so I figured they pretty nice. But it turned out they were the old Rockford Power HX2 15s as stated on the du…

Today i blew my sundown sa 15. I though about reconing it. But idk yet. Does anybody have any experiences with the american bass xfl 15s? Or fi audio bl 15s? Thought about getting either of those. But i think ill just buy a recone, cause i love my sundown. But today i also ordered the knukonceptz 0 guage power and ground wire. I got the 100 amp fuze. Good choice?

Kevin just posted it on the Skar Facebook "Who would be interested in a 4" Coil, 12/15/18" SPL Monster woofer? 2500 Watt RMS Power Rating (Conservative). A little side project prototype I am currently working on - if there is enough demand I will probably put them into production, I personally love the idea of making them - 6 Layer Spider - High Roll Competition Grad Foam Surround - Ultra Strong Paper Cone - 20mm Top and Back Plate - 4 PC Ferrite Magnet Motor Assembly (220mm) - Qts 0.52" I cant get over how Familiar this looks to a new sub woofer coming out from another company...

So I think this has been asked before but I'm not sure my search worked well enough just found 4sale stuff with it mentioned... My Xcon was in extra awesome condition.... Found out that today my father was moving stuff in their garage and boom he calls me to say he thinks he hit it with a piece of plywood he was moving ... There is now a puncture/tear about 1/3 of an inch maybe less.... What can I use to fix it/glue it? I know I don't want to "melt" the surround material with normal glue but what should I be using? The subwoofer won't see any action for a while so cure time is no issue..... Let me know.. Sad that this fcking subwoofer was sitting in that garage 8…

What would you buy? In the market for 2 12s budget is 850ish will be running them off asaz3500v2 ported in a trunk of my 99 toyota camry. (current box dimensions 33L x 14.25 H x 24.25 d Port dimensions are 4.5L x 12.5 tuned to 32hz . I will get a optimal enclosure for what ever subs I decide on but that is what I have now.) Looking for something that sounds great & gets loud too i would like to have some room if upgrade my power. I am looking at the SSA Xcon ,Tantric HDD, Sundown zv3 or the X series, Psi Platform 3 but not limited to these choices. My electrical Dc power 270xp, Group 34 agm up front, 4 deka group 24 agms in the trunk, 1 Run of 1/0 & rear battery…

I have a sundown sa 15.Its in a custom box at 33hz, powered by a hifonics brutus 1200. I have cheap 1200 watt amp kit from walmart right now but here very soon im upgrading to knukonceptz kca 1/0 amp kit. First question is : will i tell a difference in loudness or quality from this better wire? 2nd question is : how should tune my amp for my sub. Right now i have everything set to half way. My level is set to where im pushing around 900-1000 rms. help me out guys! I will greatly appreciate any tips

i currently have a pair of polk db 6.5 components. the 6.5s dont go low enough, they are running on a power bass XAX2160FD 100rmsx2 @ 4ohms. i have been thinking about using the tweeters and the xover and installing a pair of peerless 830946 woofers. im not sure where the xover is actually set. but would this work? or what would you guys reccomend? i have a 15" ssd on 1300rms in the back on my tundra access cab. these would go in the doors btw.

http://www.emfcaraudio.com/emf-audio-ermagerd-18-dual1/ Looks like a sundown based company, anyone ever heard these? Another thing it has 50mm xmax, almost like re xxx series, so i'm guessing the response would not be as great compared to smd/evil series? I'm just a curious george about speakers! I searched around here I'm suprised nothing showed up about them.

I'm about to start a wall build in my 2000 plymouth neon with 2-18" zcons. They will have about 14cu net for the pair and I plan to tune low 30s. My question is how much port do these guys like? Normally I would use 14-16sq per cu but I've never used ssa before so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows what these subs like. Thanks for any help.

I know i just started another thread where within i asked about these, but figured a new thread would get more light on the subject especially since there seems to be no reviews on these yet.. I local shop has been installing these mostly in a 10" for smaller space systems like mine. Says they are pretty awesome, and blow the rockford p3's i was looking at clean away given my type of setup. He was explaining to me this new line is from a new sound engineer(?) kicker hired not to long ago to turn their line around to a better quality sub than their recent models. Could be BS for all i know. But this guy does have a huge wall FULL of big a** trophies and records, i believe …

I have a 2003 dodge ram im looking to put a setup in under the back seat. I will be building a fiberglass sealed box conformed to the underseat area shape. It will net me a minimum of 1.75ft3. Im just looking for hard hitting bass, no top of the line setup. Budget for the subs is around $300+-, i would imagine 2 10's would probably be my best route? I just went around to all the shops here in town for different opinions. I know Kicker is normally frowned upon, but a few places suggested the new Comp R 10's and a cx1200.1. I cant seem to find much info on the new subs, i was told these new subs are from a better sound engineer kicker hired recently but it could be BS for a…

I have an issue with my amp protecting at a high output. The subs are wired to ohms in an 8 cube enclosure tuned at 38. When I take it into high volumes it gets louder without distortion. When it starts getting to its peak my amp throws a short circuit protect. Is it possible that one of the coils have an issue? Or possibly amp? The setup is four fi ssds on a stetsom 7kd. Also coils read exact same on each eight coils.

hi guys new here but not to audio . doing a change in my sub from small subs to 1 icon 15 dual 1 ohm. always had 10's or 12's in boxes . car is small 91 prelude with a spare tire drop in the trunk. my idea is to fiberglass a box to use the trunk spare area plus a little more to yeild about 4 cuft sealed. what do any of you think about mounting a icon like tis? mabnet in with cone facing up or magnet up with cone facing into the box? sound quality is my goal . thank you gordie

I just order a pair of Fi ssd 18s and was wondering how big I should go on the box? i've read a few forums where people have said go on the smaller side for less peakyness or go on the bigger side and they bang hard. What do you guys think?

Is there a name for this thing? Also has anyone found it at a local hardware store. it doesn't appear that home depot or lowes carry them. trying to avoid ordering it online but not sure i have a choice. thanks.

I sold my sa15s for $600 so it's time for something new. I need about 100 or the box so I have 500sih to spend on subs. I'm running an saz2500d what would you guys recommend as in upgrade from the sa 15s? or should I just rebuy the sa15s and profit a bit?

I have Hertz ESK-165.5 components sets in my car. I have my tweeters on -2 on the crossovers, but when there are "S's" and sometimes "F's" they seem very harsh. Everything else sounds fantastic though. Do you know the frequencies so I can turn them down a little? Or is there another way to fix this? Thanks.
