Subwoofers / Speakers

I plan on running either one sa8 v2 or two v1.5s. They both would end up being about the same price ordering the 1.5s from woofercooker reconed. These will be going in a 4th order band pass. My question is are the v2s so much of an improvement that I should get one of those or would two 1.5s be louder? I was too focused on 18s while the whole sa8 train was going around so I missed all the info on them. Thanks.

Hey guys. I was doing my normal research and I stumbled across this site. Please check it out. Please post opinions. I hope I don't get in trouble. Here is the link: http://www.data-bass.com/drivers If you click on each named driver it gives a good bit of info.

Got the 12" hellion installed earlier today. Thought would take around 3 to 4 hours. But ended up taking 7 hours for amp install, LOC, sub into box, and box into trunk, tuned a bit and all good. The installer seems very knowledgable and super chill dude. I feel bad that it took so long... I was there just hanging out and talking with him throughout the whole thing and paying attention to learn some. Will post more pics tomorrow hopefully after work. I was suprised about how long it took to get through the firewall with a grommet. I guess the new acura TLX are not easy to do. Also that the installer tapped into the power and ground wires for the LOC into the ampl…

i have a fi bl 18 with the hyperpole and flatwind coils and i want to get loud but deep loud not a high tuned loud so would any one like to share there opinion on if i should get another fi or get 2 aq hdc3 18s and sell my fi or does any body have any other suggestions to get

wazzup folks i recieved my audioque hdc3 18 by ups friday and had a helluva time getting all 7 cubes tuned to 30hz made of birch in my ext cab sierra. As soon as i turned on my stereo it was on a country song on a Cd. i noticed it was as loud as my 1 12 but it has even moved 2 milimeters yet and thats when i giggled. so to play around i put on a test tone of 25hz and stepped out of my truck only to see my windows moving atleast half inch and my back glass flexing around 1.5 inches, as i was steppin back in my truck it made my hair stand up like a hair trick! the lows are so crisp and kick drums and kettle drums are tight and controlled, ive never had a sound quality d…

Looking to buy either two 12 inch or 15 inch DCON D4's whether in enclosure or not

Whats up SSA! I have 2 Ascendant Audio Mayhem 15's running on a Soundstream dtr 1.3400 at .25 ohm (3400 rms @ .5 2200 rms @ 1ohm) I have the subs in around 6.2 cubic ft net and they get loud but im itching to get louder if i can... I can get 3 American Bass HD 15's dual 1's and wire to .67 ohm... But can i just make another hole in my box? Thats the most airspace available. Goals.. Hit 150 db (currently 149.1) Should i keep the 2 15's or get 3 ? If its a bad question/ idea input on that would be apreciated Thanks

Looking for a company to get a 12"sub magnetized. Purchased a Orion xtrpro around 4 years ago an the magnet somehow never got magnetized.

I am looking into getting some new subs but I am stumped on what to go with. I want sq over spl. I would need 2 12's that would go in a sealed box. I also would be running from around 1000-1500 watts. My bugget is $500 for both subs. I have looked at the fi q, si mag, re se, rd classic, and infinity perfect. I could get each company new except for the si mags they'd need to be used for my price. If anyone has any suggestions please respond.

Im goin to put some 8in woofers in my rear doors for midbass in my next build. Is IB or sealed better? it will be powered with 100 watts

I currently have 1 sa-10 @ 600rms in a sealed box and am looking to go a little louder. I plan on lowering my amp (massive audio n3) to 1 ohm to get up to 1400rms. I'm debating on whether to get 1 12" fi Q (1500rms) or to just add another sa-10 (600rms each). They will be put in a sealed box (pls don't suggest a ported box, I'm not interested ) Thoughts?

Hey guys, Im looking to start a new build. Im looking for HARD hitting bass, but also the ability to play rock music well. I was originally set of AQ HDC3 18's, but came acros the IXL's. How would they compare. I live in Canada so buying froma canadian company would be nice. I plan to build a wall for whatever subs I go with behind the second row, with 3 8" aeros. What kinda tune would the IXL's like? Has anyone ever tried them, Id love to see some builds or videos!!! I have about 14 cubes to play with. Power will come from a Visonik V4000XD modded to play @ 1ohm 3500+ @ 2ohm, little more @ 1 ohm Id imagine Apprecaite any insight, as this seems to be the top Mach5 forum…

Okay everbody my cousin is getting ready to put a system and wanting to put some bass in tjere and she wants it to get loud but also have pretty good sound quality and what would yall run 2 15in dcons or 1 18 zcon either way it would be tuned to about 33hrtz also will buy the amp when we decided which we are going with.

Hello today is my first day on here and I hoping that maybe some of you guys on here could tell me of a better sub on the market that would be louder than my hifonics goliath 12" sub. here are the specs for you: quad coil 2 0hm 2400rms and 4800 peak watts foam surround aluminum cone 3"voice coil 160 oz mag. it weighs 38 lbs it is n a ported box think it is n like 2.5 cubes and I have a hifonics bxi 2608 amp I am wanting a single sub. I have an eclipse so i dont have much space to work with please help! thanks

I'm thinking of just scratching my previous posts and might go for a single 15 ported. I want a loud setup with good SQ. You all probably know what amp I have by now (JBL GTO 1201.1 II puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms). I'm having a b!tch of a time picking a 15 being there are soo many good ones. So far I want a 15 that'll sound good, get loud and drop low in 3 cubes ported. So far these are what I'm trying to decide between. I know all probably sound good but which would get louder? Also what should I tune to? I plan on placing an order for one of these this weekend. 1 SSA Icon 15 1 SS RL-p 15 1 Fi Q15

Hi- I am going to add a little midbass to my ride (it doesn't really have any atm). I am going to buy 4 MLI-65 midbass woofers. I am going to make a sealed enclosure for all 4 for the rear deck. Any recommendations on how big this should be? Thanks.

Looking at going active for the first time. Will be using a 9887 as my source Probably a kx/sx 800.4, or orion 8004, etc. I'll be mounting the woofers in my doors, not quite sure where i'll be putting the tweets. This will be in a 99 Tahoe. I would like something that i can crank fairly loud when i'm in the mood. But i dont want anything harsh. I'm not completely sure what i want yet... I'm really hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. I'm not opposed to buying used either. The main things that are set in stone are the HU, and the higher volume requirement. EDIT: I will run whatever mids will fit without cutting.

i plan on building a wall of 4 18" subs powered by the new saz-4500 when it comes out at .5 ohm ... i have around 32 cu ft of volume to use up if i want ... i do not know which subs to get ... i am going to be using these for daily listening and i like punchiness and my lows ... i am trying to maintain sound quality while also staying loud .... which 18" sub would you choose? ... i am open to all options and opinions

I have a zx1500.1 amp but want to get a new one and stock electical and am getting a custom box. I plan on getting one 15 and havent had anything besides 7s in the past and want to change. I was looking at the lethal injection any other option that you guys think would be better? IM OPEN TO OTHE AMPS TO THAT WILL BETTER SUIT THE SUB

I'm happy with my current setup, but I think the imaging and midbass could be improved. Here is my current system: Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P5900iB Front Stage: JBL P650c comps (tweeter in sail panel, woofer in door panel) FS Amp: Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (active) Subwoofer: SoundSplinter RL-i8 SS Amp: Sundown Audio SAX-100.2 (bridged @ 8 ohms) The tweeters are mostly on-axis, so I get very little front/center imaging. I was thinking about getting a set of Q-Logic kick panels for my 4Runner, moving the JBL comps there, and getting dedicated midbass drivers for the doors. Space in the doors is very limited; I originally bought Seas comps but they won't fit. The proposed p…

Haven't been here in a while. Had to make a new account since I forgot the password to my old account. Anyway, I bought a Honda CRV a year ago & am now getting around to the audio portion So far I have Ipad Mini Helix DSP 2x PPi P900.4's 1 PPI P1000.1 Beyma 8G40 and Eric Stevens Horns The Beyma's are great, but they start to lose steam around 90hz, so I'm looking for a sub that can extend up higher than most to help in that area. I'll be using the P1000.1 for power & have around 4 cubic feet to work with. I found a 13w7 local for $550, but was wondering if I can do better for the dollar.…

I just got a single cab 98 ford ranger and plan on doing a build soon with 2 12's or possibly 2 10's. Still need to go out and plan out the box. Before I do that though, I of course need to decide on the subwoofers. So far, my best bet for the money is 2 kicker compvt's. I'm looking for suggestions for a cheaper shallow mount that will still sound good. I've dealt with kicker before, and if I could avoid it for the same amount of money, I'd love to. I want to go low. Hopefully tuning to 34 or so. And if I have to, I'm completely willing to go with one 12. Best bass i've ever had was in the back of my 90 lumina. I had a knock off 15" spl sub in a sealed box. It wasn't that…

I think the saying "you get what you pay for" is true. That bein said would it be wiser to get a better quality 10" sub or a lesser quality 15" sub? Or is that just a favor of difference in a punchy 10 or versatile 15?

Hey there guys im hoping u can give me some advice. Im in the need for a new front stage and im at a crossroads? The two im looking at right now are the Alpine pro series or Rainbow soundline SLCkickers. But open to other ideas. Im willing to spend about 350 on the comps. The doors are 6.5's SYSTEM: ... A Fi 12SSD sub in a sealed box with an AQ1200D Amp wired at 2ohms. Giving it 870watts to the sub. as of right now i have a RF punch 360.2 amp powering the comps. giving them about 150 Watts. But going to get the AQ4x90 when it comes out in six weeks, and have it bridged to 2 Channels give the comps about 240 watts. Thanks for the help in advance. ***Watts given are wha…

Any ideas? I was looking at a couple hifonics bxi's but i heard they were just power hungry and not too good.
