Subwoofers / Speakers

I need help deciding on a pair of subs for my new setup. This setup I'd going in an Isuzu Trooper, and so far I have it sound deadened with sound deadened showdowns, I have the component setup run off of a Sundown 2.250, and I now need help making a decision on a pair of subs based on my box and the amount of power I can run. I already got the box professionally made and it's 8cubes tuned to 33hz. Also Im not going to be running a high output alternator, but I'll be running a secondary XS Power battery and am thinking about running my subs off of the Sundown SAX 1200D. Also I'm not willing to spend over $500 for the pair ( that's including shipping ) can you help me ou…

will be buying 2 DCON 12's Dual 4 ohm Subwoofers. looking for a amp in the range of 200$ that will power these properly. will be using a dual champer ported box, each chamber is 1.8 c/f and the sub is recomened 1.75c/f But on the other hand im also very much considering a single 12" ICON with a ported enclosure matching specs. In reguards to excurrsion and making allot of noise, will i be able to afford a amp to get the single icon to outperform the 2 dcons for spending about 200$ on a amp? I drive a cobalt, subs will be going in trunk Thank you very much in advance, for any possible information.

does anybody know were i can find recone kits for 12"infinity beta sub........ please help me...... jamie

I pulled the box out of my hatch today to find that there's a hole in the surround. Not sure if it was ripped out or rubbed though from having stuff against the sub while playing. I was wondering if it could be repaired by me or would I have to send it in for repair, in which case it wouldn't be worth it since shipped and repair cost would be more than the $100 shipped I paid for the sub. Good excuse to move up to a 10" I guess...if I can't make the repair myself.

I bought 2 - 15" Memphis M3's recently, but at different times from different people. This was the first one I bought, I have yet to start on the second one. This one was sold the day after I finished it... Anyway, when I got it, the bottom plate was shifted. (almost every motor I get seems to be shifted) So in order to fix it, first Ihad to pull the bottom plate. Here is the method I came up with to do it, w/o hurting the ferrite. I start with a putty knife, and 2 butter knifes. First I gently tap the putty knife in between the plate and magnet. Then, I gently place each butter knife on each side. Then I remove the putty knife, but leave the butter knives…

my budget for sub(s) is $400, I've been looking at either getting two sa-12s, two dcon 12"s, or a single xcon 12" My goal is to get loud, (don't want it for burps and competition tho) enclosure will be ported, I have plenty of room (3-6.5cubes) I'm assuming two sa-12"s would be louder than the dcons and louder then a single xcon. But then again I could be full of s***. I'll be powering it with an sae-1200d (1200watts). What would you do? I know the xcon is an amazing sub, but I also figure there is no replacement for displacement AND i'll only be running 1200watts so it won't be at its full potential. P.S: the only subs I have heard besides mine (10" type-r...) is two r…

Post your preference. I am going to make white and silver (more silver than white) but I want to know what you all have in mind. Post away!

I have a 2.05ft box tuned to 36hz for 2 10" drivers. I had 1 sa10 in a 1ft box tuned to 35hz and it's way too peaky for my tastes - shakes the whole car on lows but has hardly any output at higher frequencies, so music sounds "uneven". I'm trying to find a sub that has a smoother frequency response and sq but still gets decent spl. I've graphed 1 of each sub below, in a 1ft box tuned to 36hz (w/ the sa10 for reference). Each is at their recommended rms. I have no idea why the Demon is so off - I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong but I've triple checked all t/s numbers (if someone wants to try and graph that one for me feel free!) I'm limited to a max …

i know cheap and good aren't allways in the same sentence but thats what i need. so heres the deal i have stock speaks right now powered off my 580mp pioneer HU. the stock tweets i can handle although they suck compared to others i can deal with them for now but the mid-range is just too crappy. i hate listening to rock and have the gutair sound awful cuase the speaks are chit, now for what i need. first has to be cheap im a college kid that is currently layed off so income is low so trying to keep this around $150 shipped maxed. another problem is power since im poor i am going to use my HU for the time being for power so i need something a little high on efficieny. i wa…

well my solo x's will be here monday, so id like to get started on box plans. my max dimensions are 50"wide,21"tall, and 15deep which if used all that with no port is 7.388 now i know once i add port, and displacment of the sub, it will go down. id like to get atleast 3.0cf for each sub.the more the better lol as for tuning, im not so sure. i like lows so i was thinking around 32Hz?? if anyone has a better suggestion, please let me know.im building 2 seperate boxes so when i sell them, they will be much easier to sell. the recommended ported box for 1 10 is 2.25-6.0cf. as for an amp, i am saving for a audiopipe 3000d (315 shipped w.warrenty) or if i can find a better amp…

well basically i LOVE my 16o.v2 but it just friied on me and well i want to try somthing new ,my amp fried as well i will put the mag in a sealed box ,i will have a 9.1 to power it ,900w @2ohm 1200w @1 ohm the o.v2 got 900w and was in 1.8 cubes and it rocked my world and sounded freakin awesome to me ,so smooth punchy and blended well basically what will i gain if i switch to a 15" magnum i listen to EVERYTHING ,i want the loudest SQ possible thanks

what is the difference between e8v3 and the e10 and which should be louder with a 1400 rms rated amp

I'm looking to install a single 10" subwoofer under the rear seat of my '18 Ram 2500. The enclosure is sealed with a gross volume of 0.8 cubic feet. The amp hasn't been purchased yet, but I'm leaning heavily toward the new Sundown SFB1000D which would provide 1k watts at 2ohms. I'm looking for sound quality while still having the ability to get reasonably loud. I listen to rock, metal and rap. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 10" GCON, but I'd like to get opinions on any other subs I should be looking at before ordering. Budget is <$400.

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 …

Hey guys, A thought has hit me as I look through the forums, and I was wondering if anybody could give me their opinion on this matter. Ok, so why when somebody decides to focus on the "Front stage", do they only focus on the front two doors? I understand that the driver is up front, so maybe that is the primary reason for this. When I look at a install, I would see anywhere from two to eight door speakers but only in the front two doors. I don't understand why isn't it kept to the equal amount of speakers that are in the back two doors, or for cars, the back deck? To me, if I was to put 3 door speakers up front, I would put 3 door speakers in the back as well. I underst…

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…

Does anyone have experience with the Exile flat subs, or even flat subs in general? My 10" Q takes up way too much space in my car (2 seater) and adds too much weight so I'm going to sell it and it's looking like a flat sub is my only option to stay comfortable. I know a sub like this won't be near as nice as my Q, but do they at least sound good and get loud enough for normal listening?

guys as i mentioned in a few other threads i am a sales rep and i spend ALOT of time in the car. after debating for hours what would be best-- build a killer small sub box ( RLi8 or like with a PR to keep it small ) or redo my doors one of our resident experts here hit the nail on the head " why would you spend so much time or money on a sub? it reproduces about 15% of your sound ". it really hit home. i deadened my doors with Raamat, but did not do the closed cell foam on either skin of the door. when it warms up i want to make sure i do the closed cell foam ( is it better to line the inside of the door or between the panel trim and outer skin? ). i boug…

so yeah, if this is a really stupid idea, ill prob put some bolts through my box for terminals, what type of finish should they be? zinc, stainless? anybody have a pic of theirs? thanks

I recently read that if you were to have 2 speakers play the same frequency that they will cancel and would be about the same loudness if I were to play a single speaker. I have 2 sets of components in my front and am wondering if they would sound just as loud with a single set? People add more subwoofers and they get louder so I just don't understand why it makes a differnece.

So I finally installed my cheap Rockford components (well tried too) and they don't fit. Every place on line says that my jimmy has 6.5s but these are just barely too big. So since I already have them do i need to buy different speaker housing or can i just cut out a circle of wood, glue it to the housing and then screw the speaker to that?

one 15" mag in a 2.2cf @30hz box off a crossfire vr1000d.I will be putting her in a 3.7cf@27hz box this weekend, will there be a noticeable difference?.The low end in this box is crazy enough as it is.Just wanted to say thanks Nick and everyone who encouraged the purchase(by reading other threads).Can't wait to get it in the right box and let her shine.

My friend wanted to know which is better. I have two Memphis Pr's layin around somewhere and he has some Kenwood Typhoon 12's in his truck. Both in sealed application. The Typhoons are running off some crappy Phoenix Digital 1000w amp. I doubt if the amp even puts out 400w. anyway and I have an Orion 600D (I think thats the model) for the Memphis' and also for my own personal TS-W306's. The amps are somewhat Irrelevant for this question as I'm just trying to figure out the following things for him. 1. Which subs hit harder? 2. Which Get louder? 3. Which are More Efficient? 4. Would they sound better in my car ('96 Taurus) or his truck ('86 Chevy Pickup)? Well come to thin…

I sold my sa15s for $600 so it's time for something new. I need about 100 or the box so I have 500sih to spend on subs. I'm running an saz2500d what would you guys recommend as in upgrade from the sa 15s? or should I just rebuy the sa15s and profit a bit?

Ok I was thinking of replacing my current mid bass drivers, which are rockford fosgates t2652-s. They are a component set. I was looking in to the crescendo pwx 6"s would this be a good upgrade? If so what kind of amplifier would I need for them? I currently have the fosgate t400.4
