Subwoofers / Speakers

I just picked up an 03 Tahoe. I'm wanting to buy a above average set of components. At this stage vehicle is bone stock. I plan to use only stock locations. Mid around knee to lower knee height. Tweet up in the pillar aiming up towards middle of windshield. Budget is roughly $300 for the pair. Sub stage will be a btl 18 and a saz1500. Will power these components with possibly an older 800.4 fosgate. Looking for suggestions on sets that are out there and any experience anyone has had with these they can share. Prob won't go active, kind of intimidated by it lol.

Im in search of a component set, now their not going to be amplified for right now atleast until I get more things, just going to run them off my hu which puts out like 15-20 rms. I ran into these and want some opinions as I dont know much or many people running CDT speakers. Heres the link, CDT on Wooferetc

Hi there. My son is contemplating an upgrade to his sub. He has just one 8 and was wanting 2 SA8s. Then we talked to woofersetc and they suggested 2 SA10s. He has a trailblazer so enough room. Hi is running a Cadence ZRSC9 running 2 channel to the fronts and other two channels bridged to his current sub. He is just looking for more bass, doesn't really want to build a box. Input appreciated. SuperDaveTX

ANYONE ??

I want to buy two 18" ZCONS but don't know how good they are. Can anyone tell me how good they are? I know their brand new but does anyone know anyone that has had experience with them because I dont like to be the first to give a review on things. Is is mostly SQ or SPL? Im not doing this for competition its just daily driver with extra bump! thanks

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.

I'm trying to soak up as much information as I can for my next upgrade. But having difficult making a decision on my new sub setup. Too many different subs to choose from and then do I go ported or sealed. So far all I have ran is sealed Pioneer and Alpine amps/subs. But now I am looking to broaden my horizons and try something new. I took the first step and went with an MB Quart DSC1000.1 amp to power my Alpine SWR-1222D at 1Ohm in a sealed ~1.25ft­­³ enclosure (Scosche prefab. Best thing about it is the spring loaded terminal cup). Been thinking of either going 2 sealed 12's at approx 500w rms each or 1 ported 12 at 750 - 1500w rms. So far I have looked at the followin…

I have a JBL 1200.1db amplifier and have been looking for subs to push with it. Should I get 1 12" FI Q sub? if so, any advice where I could look to get the best deal on one? or two....wouldn't think the amp could push two....

For now, I will be releasing one parameter a day. After a week or so I will increase the specs-per-day and get the 15's out to you all soon. So for now, here's the first spec: Re: 3.5 Ohms (coils wired in series)

Since my RCA pictures and speaker wire comments pretty much started a fire last time, here is the official thread to either put up or shut up. I will send out a 20 foot piece of Omni speaker CABLE (no interconnects like I have, as they are just too expensive to send out like that). Twenty feet is more than enough to swap out one side of a stereo with. What I advise doing is only putting this wire on one side of your system, whether it be car or home, and take a listen to the difference. Reply to this topic only if you wish to be on the demo list. I will pay for shipping to a person, and then when that person gets the wire they pay shipping to the next person, and so-on a…

Before anyone asks, not the Blazer, but a Blazer. 12" sealed in about 1.3 cubes with a Hifonics Z600 on it. If and/or when Jake ever shows up on here he can vouche for what I'm about to post on. Our bass demo CD that we have made has everything from Tocatta in B (off the Bass Mechanic CD) to Tricycle (for dynamics) to Bela Fleck, to Spies, to...well you get the picture. Tocatta (sp?) in B is just nuts. Unlike the previous generations of Mag's, there is no shelving off in the extreme low-end (the older Mag's would drop about 3 dB but keep that same level through the lower freq's). As the bass drops, the Mag just keeps the SPL the same. This single 12 off of 600 watts…

Alight yall, Since my Bravox mid has a slowly growing tear in the surround I decided to get some opinions on what to do. Overall goals 1. A very well versed front stage that is able to be very loud. 2. Able to sustain good midbass (50/60 hz and up) while not sounding extremely harsh. 3. Able to play everything from rap, to rock, to classical, etc. 4.a passive set that works well off axis, as the bravox sounded the best off axis. Options 1. A simple passive Midwoofer and tweeter combination, 6.5" mid and tweeter. 2. A midbass in the door and a horn combination under the dash, This would be ran actively through probably something like a Sundown Audio 100.4 (onboard x-over)…

Alright, so here we go.. I want to upgrade my front stage while waiting on the Icon sub I have coming sometime this month.(already ordered) What I want to do it get rid of my Alpine 6x9s I have in the front doors and eliminate that horrid speaker the factory Toyota calls a "tweeter" ... I've somewhat bugged //M5 already and instead of continuing to fill his inbox I will give the SSA community a chance to jump in.. So I had found this chart: http://www.listenhear.co.uk/general_acoustics.htm I asked //M5 and he already stated that it is a decent chart but needs somewhat more range. So what my goal is and obviously this could be the wrong way in approaching it, but I hope…

so i guess caseys zcon 15 finally had it. he has been feeding it 3000watts lol (never dropping below 13.3V) got a text yesterday saying the zocn was on fire and he couldnt get to it because it was in a 4th order in his trunk but he could see a small flame down the port. thank god it burned itself out. This is not ssa's fault so dont think any less of them! all there subs are top of the line! lol feeding it 750watts over rms for a year and a half. i believe he did a 146 sealed up out of the trunk with a single 15.. not to shabby haha IIRC, caseys doing 2 zcon 12s or a single 15" evil anyways, heres pics guys! Heres the last video we took of it... R.I.P zcon 15

I got a new dust cover to replace a cracked one and was wondering what I use to glue it on. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Alex

Saw this on one of the forums I frequent and thought I'd share: http://www.edesignaudio.com/groupbuy.php [edit] Just realized this may be in the wrong section. Mods feel free to relocate to appropriate section.

Hows it going. i have a quad cab truck, have a box built that goes front to back for 4 12" woofers. It is 67" long, 16" wide and about 36" tall at its tallest I believe. Should i run JL 12w7s, the new Kicker CVR or VX (which is heavily pressed to me by the local custom shop that recently carries Kcker), Treo SSP or TE (or other model?) or pooooossibly the FI Q 12s. Let me know what you guys think. If i go with the 12w7, what amps would I need? Two 1001/1s ? any issues with those? My goals are 1. Loud and Clean. 2. a nice medium (55/45) of loudness, to musical application 3. a reliable setup that will sound good for time to come. I will be runni…

But what subs should I look at? Ill be running 2 Mmats 2000.1d's . Supposedly rated at 2000@1ohm rms. I know the slightly older d2000.1s were rated at 1500. I dunno. Its a 1995 z28 . My son wants to do an spl car next year. I have no issues losing my cargo area or back seat.

well I wasn't having any luck with WinISD. So I'm asking the experts. I have a Scion tC and need to have as much trunk as possible. I know sealed is most always smaller than ported boxes....but aren't as loud but have better SQ generally. I want the sub to be hit 30Hz at -3dB. I play a lot of rap, metal, and trance and I want it all to be able to sound good. What size sealed box and what size & tuning ported box should I get to fit my needs?

Has anybody had any experience with the Hifonics OLM1612. I looking at them seen they recommend a high tunning frequency 40hz not really high but high for my taste, but has anybody had any experience with them at lower tunning 30-32hz..... and how did they perform on music, i listen to alot of slowed down music (chopped screwed) so really concerned on well they play low

pick one and dont say a different brand i know there are lots better but just tell me which is better

After rocking a DC lvl 5 15" now for about three years or so it has finally gone on me. I blew the voice coil the other day and well its time to move on... I know I can recone it and probably will do that and sell it, its time for something different. I am thinking about 6 8" subwoofers for about 300 square inches of cone area. Seeing as I am limited on trunk space, the box will equal about 4.3 cubic feet and that will give me enough room for my amp and bats. With the lvl 5 on full bore, I was staying in the mid to lower 14v so I figure I am good on electrical for now. I will be pushing these 8s with a SAZ-3500D and probably wire the subs to .66. If I do that I will have …

Well Ive Gotten used to my system already which is 2 HDC D1 15s...I wanna do 4 12s now (anything but Kicker) Any Recommendations??

Hi, i have a 96 ford x xlt, i live in a medium size town, so competition is scarce (spelling) never the less i love to BLOW people away with my subs, i own right now 2 jl 10w3v2 with a jl 500/1 and any one who has a chit system loves it, and people who dont have systems crap there pants, atho i know its not much they have no idea. Any how, i wana run MB quarts, PCE 216s in the front and back and 100x4 watts amp, not sure which yet, and i wana push alot of air around in my car, i dont do sealed, i do ported. Becuase i love ported boxes... I can do 1 or 2 subs, I really like an idea of 3 but im not that rich. I was thinking 2 RE XXX but i was informed about SI and AV but i…

So i just got my Zcon 18 installed in my 6.7 cu. ft. Net Box. it is tuned at 34hz with 112 sq in port. Currently its running off US Amps MD1 (1200rms) and gets pretty **** loud. This is a Great sub, well built and very good looking. not quite as good sq as my Stereo Integrity Mag V3 but its close. (that could also be due to the higher tuning as the mag was in a 28hz box.) Im wondering, would it be worth it to double the power to 2400watts? for a daily application would it really be much louder? the sub already moves pretty good as is. If i upgraded it would be to this: Audioque AQ2200D ($430) DC Power SPX270 or XP300 Alternator ($590 or $500) Kinetic HC2000 to replace sto…
