Subwoofers / Speakers

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

plan on getting a set of ID ctx65cs comps powered by a kicker zx350.2, doors will be deadened and have mdf baffles.. for sub(s) would u go with 3 idq 10s powered by a zx1000.1 at 2.66 ohm or a icon 15 powered by the zx1000.1 at 2 ohms? will be in a sealed box in a 02 blazer.. lookin for sq but still be able to get loud.. listen to 95% rock/metal so i want tight clean bass

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?

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

So ive been thinking about how I want to upgrade my system. I'm planning on getting two 10" dcons in a ported box. I currently have 4" coax speakers and 6.5" coax on the rear deck. Both sets of speakers suck in the mid range. Would I be able to use a 6.5" kicker cvt for mid bass like bass drum kicks and stuff (like 80-200+ hz?) . It says it works in a sealed .2-.3 cu ft. enclosure. I bet I could find room for it infront of the middle seat in the back. I could get a 5 channel amp to power the speakers and this 6.5 woofer. Is this a stupid idea? Would this small woofer be redundant?

How will an HCCA sound in a sealed box, stuffed liberally? looking for a 30hz peak in a trunk car. SQ is priority, but with the ability to take your breath away. Three 12's, and three RF 4000BD's. electrically yada yada...... this is speculative, sifting through, as usual.

Hello folks I never before came across Power Bass until I joined this fine forum. I have heard a lot of woofers at the top of their game throughout the years (SI Magnums, Incriminator Audio DP's, RE XXX's, DD's and so on) but I have never heard 1. Power Bass 2. Sound Splinter I realise there arent too many people out there who have heard all of the above woofers, but could somebody give me a pointer as to how the best woofer from companies 1 & 2 would fare up against the tried and testted super-subs, like the SI Magnum (great SQ/LSQ/SPL driver, the best all rounder I have come across) and the Incriminator Audio Death Penalty (mad streetbass sub that gets stinking …

so i was bored today and was looking around a came across this sub a soundstrem xxx 18 inch ill post the link but it says 10000 watts rms is that true i mean seriously. take a look. http://www.woofersetc.com/p7740/XXX18--Soundstream-18"-XXX-Subwoofer.htm

I'm not real familiar with enclosures and things of that sort. I can wire them up and all that happy stuff. But I have a 2004 GMC Sierra extended cab and I was talking with a guy at a local audio shop about a box to go under my back seat. He mentioned something about .95cu.ft. for a sealed dual 10" truck box. I showed him the specs on the GCON subs and he told me they should fit no problem in that box. Then I got to looking and based on those specs it said the ICON and even XCON subs would fit as well. Since you all know more than I do about enclosures and sub depth, would the GCON subs fit in that box for my truck? It is a downfire box as well. If you need dimensions of …

ok so my friend at the audio shop was using his audiocontrol spl meter with and his gates cd in my car....i peaked out at about 51-52hz at 147.7 and on some streatbeat songs i pulled a 147.1,i think thats a decent number for my 2 12 SX's and my nine.1.So are far as in the future for what im gonna do im not sure yet only money can tell...lol So do you guys think thats a decent number for streatbeat or do i need to bump the power up a bit??

so last night i was on my way home from the tech n9ne and brotha lynch concert bumpin the new kutt calhoun cd and i noticed on higher notes like 50hz-60hz that my power hx2 started making this slight rattle type noise. whichis funny cause i just posted yesterday bout finding recones. well i thought it might be a lead slappin and doesnt look to be that. how can i determine if its coil rub? it kinda sounds like its comin from the dust cap area tho. this has me scared/sad cause i just got my sundown amp and i know i didnt over due it yet......... SO SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I've never been a big basshead, so I'm downsizing my idmax down to a pair of 8's. looking to spend about whatever I can sell my idmax for, so I'd say about 200ish, maybe a little more. mounting depth can't be too deep, lets just say 6" tops. I'm thinking about the ID8's right now, any input on those would be nice or any other suggestions. the eD 700s were also considered but ehh...lol. looking for purely SQ. my high end consists of extremis's and AC g2si ribbons. these are going where the rear speakers go, but in a sealed box. thanx yall.

Well I had a chance to get a sub I have long dreamed of buying at a price I couldn't refuse. It still made my bank account cry for mercy but as some of you know I'll do almost anything for audio Without further ado, her is my brand-shiny-new Aura NS15 Here it is with the IdMax.... kinda makes it look dainty Top view.... note different approaches to the same 24-25mm of xmax. Side showing cooling solution. This thing has a 4" voicecoil... and I guess that means it needs a 3.5" pole vent? Last we have the model sticker and one of the binding posts.... interesting design. Now I need to choose; car or HT?!

Okay this is what I am going to worjing with for a little while; 2009 WMD215R D1 T/S parameters in series : FS 25 hz..............( was told after break in 24hz. is better number) Qms 4.3 Vas 3.7 cft mms 368 g re 2 ohms Qes .52 SPL 87 db SPL 1w/1m pdia 330.2 mm Qts .46 Le 1.2 BL 15 ......................(found this for xmax) (Xmax is around .75" and Xmech is 1.5"(FYI both parameters are 1 way) So 3" total throw.) I found this sub on another site, used, $200 bucks shipped and insured. After I had purchased the sub I learned there is some controversy amongst the folks building it and some of our guys on here, I feel the need to just throw a mention of that out there. If…

what sub will handle 3k rms daily?

I just Stripped the black powder coating off and im sanding now. Its getting shinny. I just have to raise my sand paper number and them bust out the dremel for the polish and ill clear coat it. it will be nice pics coming asap

This is my second time writing this because my *DELL* laptops monitor just blacked out... haha. Alright, so I am looking for a 15 that is under 180 bones, has good SQ, but will get louder than my sealed Rockford P2 12. I plan on porting whatever I get at 30Hz. I really love the low lows. I have an amp that puts out 500w @ 2ohms. I was choosing between 4 different subs that could fit my description. Obsidian 15, Sundown E-15, Skar IVX 15, and SSA Dcon 15. Whatever I get, it will be a D4. I change my mind a lot, but I am going to look past the OA-15 because I won't be able to power it sufficiently, and I am also looking past the Sundown E-15 because (from what I read on her…

so im getting a woofer soon after x-mas...im getting a power acoustic mofo 15...and i wanted to know if someone could build one cheap and ship it to me...i want my box to look like this one

so i have the kicker 2500.1 which is 2500 @ 2ohms, or 1250 @ 4. I want to know what will give me the most boom. Mostly rap all day. I can build a custom ported box. I have the whole hatch of the nitro to work with. i wanna knock on peoples doors from blocks away, rattling windows is fun- lol

This is for those of you who really don't know us here at Stereo Integrity... I dream, literally, of ways to increase the sound quality of a speaker. My dad and I drive around with spare voice coils in our cup holders (they're 3" diameter, which conveniently helps hold large tall cups in place). Jacob and I rack our brains constantly about the pro's and con's of crossover slopes, frequencies, and speaker selections we are faced with when designing component systems. If any of you (our customers) were around us just hanging out, you would know what I'm talking about...Hoss can vouch for me on this one. I dream about cone materials, voice coil manipulations, massive spider…

well, i officially suck at making polls!
