Subwoofers / Speakers

Just thought i'd show you some pic's of my maggie and my car the 1st few and video are my car 2 days ago... the ones were its ripped apart is current im currently putting in 160sqft of damplifier wich i will receive 2marro ^.^ and another mag that ill get on the 27th unless ups breaks it Scion tC 05" is the link there is also a vid of the sub in there also...

Are NASTY. Ive only had them in for a day and i will do a proper review, but i just had to say Ive NEVER heard a more accurate, brutal, or precise subwoofer in my life. Im amazed with only 1 hour listening time. Keep it up SSA. WOW Edit-My suv hates me now im pretty sure.....

Ok so I will be getting an 18 soon, still debating whether an AA SMD or an SSA XCON (The SMD is like $400 more, idk if the gains are worth that much) Anyways, before anything I know I need to have my electrical ready so here comes my question. Right now my Ford Expedition is 100% stock. It only has a 2000D powering a Pioneer 12inch sub with 1000watts RMS. I know the Big 3 is A MUST HAVE. But, do I need a new alternator? Do I need a new battery? Do I need more than my stock battery? The reason to ask is because if I get the sub + the enclosure, I will most likely have no money left for a new alternator or new/extra battery. And hopefully the 4gauge that I have right now wi…

how would component sets sound mounted in the wall behind me? in the wall will be 3 15" mts. i already have 2, im looking for a third. this is kinda what im going for(dont care about SQ really at all lol)

here are a couple pics of the oz matrix power 10" sub. paid $70 shipped for it. i knew there was a crack in it though.

I am switching sub sizes and I am going from a 18'' to 10''. I have seen people build custom subs with different motors and baskets. now my question is will any basket fit on my motor with out any problems? I have 2 18'' hdc3 audioque.

Well I get back to the house and see a package at the door and I think "sweet! The second Mag came in today!" Well I get up to the door and notice that it is not our specific box (we have all drivers packaged and shipped a certain way in certain boxes). The box is oblonged shaped with scratches, dent, and scuffs all over it. I take it in the house and this is what I see (pics below). Fedex apparently played football in a concrete parking lot with the drivers motor and then threw it in a random box with no packaging. The magnet slugs are off-center big time and there are magnet shards all over it. To boot, the surround has a puncture in it. Looks like the Blazer wil…

Need to go behind backseat of 03 F250 Crew cab. ive got about 5.25 inches of mounting depth. im gonna put either 3 of the tw5's or Fosgate P3 shallows, or at least 4 of the SA8's. which sound will sound fuller and less hollow and weak. im used to always having at least 2-6 12's or multiple 15's or 18's. got a new truck and trying to downsize but get the best and most out of it

Hi everyone. 1st, here's a quick view of my current setup. Ride: 2000 Silverado ext cab. HU: Pioneer Premier Frt: Infinity 6.5 components Rear Fill: Polk 4x6 in factory locations Frt Amp: Soundstream Van gogh 320.4 (currently only using half)(considering the other half for 8" midbass in a front console) Sub Amp: Soundstram Van gogh 800.2 Subs: 2 Arc Audio 10d4 under rear seat (sealed) I want to change from 2 10's to 1 12" I'm really pleased with the SQ of the Arc's, though I would prefer more output. I've been heavily leaning towards either the ID Max 12d2 or Diamond D9. I've just heard, from this forum, about other possible options from Fi, Si, SSA, TC sounds, etc., (le…

Hey guys, i have made a little bit of progress in terms of my build. Purchased an saz-1000d so i had a place to start with because i honestly couldnt make up my mind what i wanted to do so i just decided to buy something and get started. I currently have 1 jl w6 and i would like louder, but still sound really good playing music. I will be getting a box custom made, i am now down to picking the subs... So a couple questions... What should i go with considering the amp. 1 15" or 2 12" Including the box, i am looking to spend somewhere in the 700.00 range. I hope that this has given ample enough information to tell you what i want so you guys can point me in the right direc…

I am looking at upgrading the components in my doors and I have narrowed it down to these three components. I cannot demo the 165XL because no one around me has any on their demo board. I am wanting to know what you all recommend as far as midbass and accurate sound reproduction which are the better speakers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have enough airspace to properly port either (2) 12"s or (1) 18" subwoofer. I would like to spend 900 or less on just the subwoofer(s). What would you choose? It will be ran on a sundown 3500D.

Does anyone know any information on the Boston Acoustics SPG555? Is it a good performing woofer or just another mainstream average sub? http://www.bostonacoustics.com/SPG555-P567.aspx 555 cm2 of surface area 3¾ inches of peak-to-peak excursion 3½ voice-coil Radialvent® cooling technology Only 26 Lbs!

Hey guys been off the market for a while but looking into buying a new car so of course had to come back and guys your guys' opinions on systems. I should be finding myself in a B8 A4 within the next month or two and already know I'm going to want some kicking bass in the trunk. I have previously had the Fi BL 18 in a big ported box... boy did I love that thing but had to sell a few things. First off I would like to ask if anyone has ran into any issues with installing systems in the B8 A4 models. I wanted to just add a sub and an amp but wasn't sure if I was going to run into allot of issues without replacing the head unit. Second, for those of you who have gone from por…

As my title reads, im putting subs in my 1965 mustang. im not doing anything big like my truck (12" orion hcca) i just want a little something. i was thinking about 2 10" kicker cvr's or 1 15 of something but idk what.IM NOT SPENDING MORE THAN 150 ON SUBS! i have a kicker zr240 (TRUE 500 watts) to push whatever i get. any ideas????? Thanks

Been a while since I've posted on here, but I still have my Fi Btl 18" on a sundown saz3000d. However, I'm wanting to try something new and perhaps smaller. I'm in a toss up between ssa xcon, icon, or fi ssd. I'm wanting to do 2 12" subs, same amp, i listen to all types of music. I'm just wanting to get more acoustical sound in the sub stage, and go with a smaller box and hopefully have some nice sounding lows with as much output as the 18", if that makes any sense. I'm also open to any other sub suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Who do you think makes the best component speakers for under $800 (maybe up to $1k if I have to) and where can you get them. I've been looking at making a set using CDT drivers which would be the ES-06 with the braxial tweet along with the upstage kit that has the DRT-26 tweet. I'm sure there must be many different brands to choose from but I haven't really been keeping up with car audio. Some brands I've also heard of and are considering are Focal, Hertz (no idea who sells these), Morel, and Boston Acoustics. I need a 6.5" set to go in the doors of my 350Z. I was planning on using Zed Audio's The Deuce (is this a good amp?) with BB upgrade to power the components. …

Has anybody used these? Interesting specs - XBL^2 motor design, copper coil, 3 shorting rings in the motor, high xmax. You can pick two of these up for $519 plus shipping(?). For car audio use they look like they ought to be good SQ subwoofers with good low end extension in the right enclosure.

Sub is a Sundown sa 12 in a 1.75 cu box at 35hz where would the subsonic filter be good to set at?

Long time no see guys! I have a 2019 f250 king ranch and ready to do a system. I bought 2 12" kicker comprt subs I was going to use in a u carseat enclosure but iv recently been leaning more twords 6 6.5" subs in a forward facing box. I'm thinking of going with the skar evl 6.5s but cant find much info on them of other ppl who have used them. Will they have a decent amount of output? Will have to be a sealed enclosure due to only having 1.7 cubes total to play with

I know a lot of you have been VERY VERY eager about the status on the up coming batch of 15's and the overall status on the potential for 8" drivers in the works.... News of both will be short coming and very very exciting...Whether it be Nick, or any of his representatives including myself, we will do THE VERY BEST to make sure you guys get wind of this info ASAP....plenty of room on any sort of pre-order or waiting list...no need to panic.... This is just a reminder that you guys don't NEED to post threads or email SI all the time about stuff...as soon as we know...you'll know...I am even more excited to hear news..and I'm doing my best to make sure you guys hear it ver…

i want to get 2 zcon 18 to put in my expedition would like to know box specs and port size. also anyone who runs ssa subs how do you like them compared to the other brands of subs out there. i ve been out of car audio for a while and dont want a cookie cutter system every shop here has all the big names kicker. orion rockford memphis and all are good but i want different.

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?

alright guys so iv decided i wont be getting a zcon because i just wont have the electrical for it. what i have is 1200 watts that my eletrical can handle at ease. Im going to sell my bl to fund my next build. Im thinking of instead of getting just 1 sub id like to get 2 12" subs that do around 1200 watts conbined so around 600 each. im trying to get the loudest i can off of 1200 watts pretty much. I was thinking of either 2 ssd, 2 sa12 or 2 w7 but would take alot of saving up lol. I absolutly loved how my 1 12w7 sounded the real deep rich lows with rumble. I see the icon doesnt come in a 12" but id consider it if it did since there about 600 watts each. Or if you guys ha…
