Subwoofers / Speakers

BTL for the win!!!

Hey Guys, I've spent an hour or so on the Forum looking for specific on optimum wiring for my single GCON 12" I've have two amps here at the house: Diamond Audio D600.1 Mono block 275W x 1 @ 4-Ohms450W x 1 @ 2-Ohms600W x 1 @ 1-Ohm OR Boston Acoustics GTA-500M Channels Mono Bridgeable Not Bridgable RMS Power at 2 Ohms 500 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms 300 W x 1 1. Which one would you use and how would you wire it? It's going in a sealed 1.4 cu ft box, I'm more about clean and crisp.... Can a Jedi kick down some layman's terms??? So very appreciated.

I just got back into the car audio world, I'm doing a new build and I'd like to have some advice on these subs I'm looking at. I want to get either 15s or a single 18, the brands I've been looking at is the ssa ZCONs, PSI platform 3s or Fi BTLs, I'm running whatever I choose of a crescendo 5500. So can I please get some input

sold the jimmy and got myself a 99 durango. Time to put some components in. So these are my options that i'm looking at. Which of these would you guys recommend if any? I'm also up for suggestions but trying to keep it right around $100 right now. Thanks guys

I'm looking to pick up some new subs for my truck. Looking to keep it stealthily looking. So ether behind or under the rear seat of the truck. I have a crew cab Chevy. I'm looking at Alpine 10" swr-t10 Jbl ms-10sd2 Sundown Sa-10 d2 Sundown SD-2 10 D4 Sundown SA 8 v.2 D2

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.

I currently have two Obsidian Audio OA12 V2's running off of 2 Audiopipe APSM1500's strapped @ 1 ohm. I used to own a Fi BTL 12" UFO motor sub before this system but on less power. The guy that currently has my old BTL is wanting to trade straight up for my two Obsidians. I think my Obsidian setups is a bit louder than the BTL was, but I really liked the way the BTL sounded, and it's able to handle the power I'm currently running better than the OA's. I'm considering the trade, but I'm looking for other opinions on whether or not this would be a good trade or not.

The first time i bought trunk audio a bought a 1000W kenwood amp and 2 12" 400W kenwood speakers. and when i connected them in series + to - it was ok bass but when i turned it up past 20 volume the music got louder but the bass got quieter. and when i connected them in parallel it was awesome very loud sound and bass but the amp heated up a lot please recommend me a amp and speakers i should get that will be loud and make by trunk bounce lol

For this im going to compare only 18" woofers.. BTL N3 the king of SPL! This is the loudest subwoofer on the market that I'm aware of.. FS 51 - This thing doesn't go low! Shitty sound quality, but hey this thing is so loud, who cares? lol Spl: 95.3dB 1W/1m super efficient 3000w RMS BTL N2 FS 34 Spl: 94.0dB 1W/1m 2000w RMS ZCON FS 32 Spl: 94.9db 1W/1m 2250w RMS MAYHEM FS 33.7 Spl: 94.8dB 1W/1m 2500w RMS Between the BTL N2, ZCON & MAYHEM..Based on the FS I would think these subs all sound about the same, they would all sound good.. they all are about the same efficiency (High Efficiency) so the important number here is the rms power. The Mayhem takes f…

would anyone know anything about power acoustik if they do rated rms since i might be buying them.

I have some 70w rms pioneer 5-way 6x9s that sound decent but definitely not as clear as I would like. So I thought Id buy some quality 6x9s, Ive been looking around for awhile and none seem to come close to the Infinity kappa 693.9I 3-way speakers in specs. Anybody have any experience with these? Seem like a good purchase for around $100? Specifications: Power Handling (RMS): 110 W Power Handling (Peak): 330 W Frequency Response: 35Hz – 30kHz Nominal Impedance: 2 Ohm Sensitivity (2.83V @1m): 96dB Also my kenwood 6.5s are clear and sound fairly great but I doubt…

Hello, I bought a Fi Bl 12 "limited edition" with 4 inch vc. from a guy on **** I finally got the subwoofer today, and immedietly noticed that the basket was damaged. Two arms are broke off, and another 3 are cracked. Im in the process of filing an insurance claim. The seller stated he put insurance on package, Im waiting to hear back from him now. Im guessing I will get money from insurance and send the sub in for repair. Would a normal recone process cover a new basket also?

can some one suggest me a good sound system for my truck? im not competing or trying to win comps...i just want a nice s daily beater

I have a Rockford Fosgate T2500 amp. I want to get an Fi BL 18' woofer what options should I choose for the woofer since I have a RFT2500 amp?

I'm looking for suggestions on new mids for my 2010 silverado ext cab. I haven't done much to the truck yet just trying to decide on mids. The ill decide on power and tweeters. I like my music super loud. My setup in my car consists of 4 selenium st200s and 4 crescendo 6.5s off the factory amp. Lol and that sounds perfect to me. I'm trying to keep my budget as low as possible like 40 bucks a driver. I know I don't have enough details for you guys but bare with me and give me some suggestions! Thanks

I found a 15inch zcon sort of locally for a good price but I dont have enough experience to tell if for sure it is. I will post the pictures of the sub, just dont want to get burnt as its a good deal and kind of seems as if someone could pass it off as another sub. From me comparing pics, the surrounds are the only thing that stuck out to me in the pics between all the ssa lines. I am on my phone now but will post pics when I get home. There is no pic of the dustcap and thats what has me wondering about it.

I am saving to upgrade my front stage and was pretty set on a set of hsk 165 xl's but I have been reading about active crossovers and I am interested. Are there any speakers that work better than others on an active setup? Would I still be able to use these Hertz active down the road? I am looking to keep it in the $600 range but I am also a believer in do it right the first time. Will be placing the new speakers in the front doors of my '96 Accord sedan, powering them with a 300 watt 4 channel alpine and ditching the 6x9's in the back. Any advice or recommendations for a good active setup? I listen to my fair share of hip hop and dub step but when I listen to classical g…

Was honestly curious how the xcons line up with the fi q's. I always hear great things about both, was just looking for input on how they compare from someone who knows more than me. Which I imagine is about anyone here. Thanks in advance!

So i have 2 of the old orange basket mojo motors and im trying to find a place i can get some three bolt style baskets to fit them and recones to rebuild them and run about 1750w a piece on them. Any ideas where i could find some parts?

I have had weird issues off and on with my amp (teac 200.1) and my components( phoenix gold radials ran passively). little things like sounding muffled at start up in cold weather. I bought the amp on here a few years ago for $15, so no big loss. The other day i was involved in a fender bender and the power wire from the front battery to the back came undone. I didn't notice this until a few days ago. The tip off should have been that the sound deteriorated over the course of a week . Yesterday I took an old speaker and some wire and tested the amp and rca's for a clean signal. Left channel is dead and right is static-y. I said screw and attempted to run my components off…

hey iv had my dcon 12 in a sealed box that is a little too small for it, and im now looking for a ported box that is big enough to get the job done. i want loudness. im trying to stay cheap as possible, limited on money. its in a 94 blazer pointed back right now. i found a ported box on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-0-FT-3-TUNED-32Hz-SLOT-VENTED-CUSTOM-MDF-BOX-ENCLOSURE-for-12-INCH-SUBWOOFER-/400334071728?pt=US_Speaker_Sub_Enclosures&hash=item5d35c527b0 how is that?

I ordered two dual two fi ssd subs. I built my whole system around the subs. I built the box to spec, upgraded all my electrical, ordered a sundown 2500 for them. It's took awhile to get it all built and I'm still waiting on the amp. Adw the problem I have is when I boxed the subs I noticed that they had no movement. I just thought they were reply stiff. Got everything installed just waiting on amp, but wanted to see how they sounded. I hooked them up in series and put them on a 1000d just to here them. Their was no movement and just produced little sound. Within just a few seconds in there started to be a burning smell. Needless to say I unhooked immediately and removed …

I am going to design a H/T enclosure for my brother's SX 15. It is a dual 4 ohm and was built in 2005. I cannot find the original T/S parameters for this driver, and non of my modeling programs have it either. I also have no idea if the current SX drivers are the same or not... Any help would be appreciated!
