Subwoofers / Speakers

Would it be possible to recone a sws 12d2 to an swr d2 series or could I use a different recone company to place in its basket I'm down for either option if I can put a different company recone what is a good recone kit to put in a d1 or another d2 thanks in advance for all others. And is it possible to run the subs at 500rms per coil which is a total of 1kilowatt to the sub total

How are the alpine type s 6 1/2 components?

Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about Alpine type x components. What would be better for the money??

Hey, everyone. On www.sonicelectronix.com, i have found a pair of Alpine Type-X reference series component speakers that, including dynomat and baffles, will run me about 200 dollars out the door. These speakers are running 300 dollars for just the speakers on Alpine's site. The only problem is there is no shops around that have these speakers available to listen to.... What are your opinions on this speaker and would you have any other recomendations (perferably costing less money?). At the moment i am running stock 5X7's in both the doors and the rear deck so anything will be an improvement. I want something with a high quality sound and i've heard go…

"Specifically the coil. for those of you that dont know the alpine type x uses a coil that has windings on the inside AND the outside of the former. what would you think would be the pros and cons of such a setup? I will keep my thoughts to myself at the moment, cuz i may be WAYYY off base thoughts?" thats a copy an paste from chad aka visitor on roe an since there many more sub designers over here figured id post it cause i wanna what advantages a design like this would have? any opinions?

A month ago i went to a friend and i metered my car with a termlab. The number is impressive! 139.9 at 39Hz!! I didn't expect so much! Here is the foto: The box: ar: nissan sunny '89 sedan 4D no electric upgrades sub: alpine typer 1222d box: 2cf at 32Hz amp: sinus sla 1500 (1500w - 1ohm) HU: alpine 9812rb engine on at 2000rpm, doors windows closed, sensor on the dash

I just noticed that Alpine improved their woofers and they seem to be much better than before. Alpine electronics With the addition of a pole vent, slimmer mounting depth, and bigger motor. I'm not really a fan of many mainstream manufactors but i'm curious to see how these do. Anyone hear about them yet?

Is the X series worth buying?

i have 2 infinity reference 6x9's hooked up to a 40x4 sony 4 channel amp, they are loud as hell but have no bass but if i turn up the bass on my cd player it distorts like crazy, the only way they sound good is if i put the balance either all the way to the right or all the way to the left. but in the middle, no bass. What should i do to fix this problem, ive tried alot of stuff already.

im thinking about doing an active front stage, and i decided to use a Vifa XT25 1" large ring radiator for the tweeter: http://www.zaphaudio.com/offaxis-XT25.gif and something for my midbass/midrange.... i was going to go with the Ascendant Audio polymid which would mate perfectly with the Vifa, but apparently they are out of stock. i was also looking into the RE XXX mids, but i have read that they do not perform as well as they are hyped up to be. they get low, but the midrange is lacking clarity... other drivers i was looking at were: The Seas Reference (RW 165) (freakin expensive) or The OLOGY delta i am looking for a driver that can play low (below 80hz ported or sea…

Those of you that are running HO alts, what do you have and where did you get them? I will be coming into a little bit of money in about a week and think I might get one. I have a 99 Alero with 110 amps stock alt. I have a PG t1200.1 and a PG t500.2 to run. I want to be sure they get all the juice they deserve. Looking for suggestions. If anyone has Iraggi's email I would gladly take that as well. Thanks, Jim

I just got a 05 RE XXX off someone local and i took a DMM to it and got a weird reading. When wired together it reads 1.5 ohms but seperate one reads 2.0 ohms and the other is sitting @ 4.0 ohms. Would it be bad to run it at the 1.5 ohms? And how does something like that happen?

Hi guys i'm brand new here so take it easy on me. i would like some help. i bought a 15 inch alpine type r dual 4 ohm coils. I got a custum box made for it link is here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=19049 it came out great. what i want to know is if i put 1500 watts rms on it am i over powering it, i know it says its 750 rms but i heard these subs take a beating and are under-rated. i have 1 alpine amp right now that is 750 rms @ 4 ohm and i was going to get another one of the same exact amp, and hook 1 to each 4 ohm coil its a v12 something mono block i forget the model number. please help me out i dont wanna burn the voice coils up thanks a lot…

Does anybody have any experience with this subwoofer? I managed to pick one of these up on craigslist and couldn't find much information on it other than that it is SSA. It is VERY heavy and seems bigger and stiffer than my HDC3 18. I plan on building a new box for it since the one it came with seems small. I bought this because I wanted to put the HDC3 in a car application but most advised it would not fit with the space I had.

has anybody here had any expirience with their 6.5s and bullet tweets cuz i plan doing my next build with lots of mids and highs and the midranges they have look nice. i know alot of people are running seleniums and eminence these i have delt with but i want something a lil different.

I found a bargain on CL locally for an American bass xd 12" in a custom 2ft^3 box tuned to 33hz. Are these subs any good?

I came across some Clif Design subs that are built in America. I emailed them to ask who the supplier is and the tech told me to name a few and he'd give me a yay or a nay as they don't openly give out that info. About all I know is Eminence. Dayton? DD builds their own, right? So that's just DD. Do they build for other companies? RF has an american plant IIRC. I wouldn't think they subcontract. Does JBL make some here? ???

what is a good amp to go with the 15? i can spend a total of $600 for amp and sub. does ne one have demensions for a good sealed box?

i dont think my car will handle my 1200d amp.. if i switch to a 600-700watt amp will that still get the 15 MAG moving good. any harm done underpowering it?

i am building a setup for listening only, no competitions or anything, running (2) sa-8 dvc 4's, i was originally thinking of a sundown 1000d, which i felt was enough, but everyone i see with sa-8's is running either a 1200d or 1500d, is it safe to run these larger amps for daily abuse on the subs or is the 1000d going to be enough, thanks for your advice

I've been searching for amps to power 2 Mags and a set of Viper 650.2 components. I was looking aat MTX but I want more power on the Mags. I want the amps to match if possible but they don't have to. I only want to run two amps and my budget is $750. Oh yeah the Mags will be ported tuned to 30hz. Thanks.

What would be a good amp for 2 kicker cvr 2001? Sealed box stock electrical

if i bought a 2 ohm btl would i need a 1 ohm stable amp?

I'm really stuck on this guys please help me out. Which amp do you think would make a really good pairing with the magnum 15''? I want to keep it under 1000 watts so there is no need to upgrade electrical. My budget is $450 and under preferably under 400 though. I've been looking at soundstream rubicon series and the tarantula series T700W amp what do you think of these two amps? Also for cheaper maybe a hifonics 1000W? I'm really stuck please just give me some suggestions to look into thank you very much.

hey would you guys mind if i posted my amp rack plans that i need a little bit of help on, i know ive been pushing the limits of stupid non sub related stuff lately so i wanted to ask first hehe
