Subwoofers / Speakers

hello everyone i want to build a wall with 4 15s at 500 rms or 2 18s at 1000 rms i have a brutus 2000 watt i want some deep bass i have looked at the dcon 15s, hdc2.5 15s, the icon 18s, havoc 18s,if anyone has any expierence with these subs or have any others in mind throw your opinions in here

I am looking for advice on which 12" sub to buy, at the moment I am looking between the 12W7 and the 12" AA Havoc. Unfortunately, quality subs are fairly rare here in Australia, so I haven't listened to either (have listened to W6 and liked the sound of it). My current situation is a 10" Polk MM, mounted in a custom box I built, sitting on the center of the rear seats (in an Isuzu pickup truck so very limited space) but I will build a bigger box for the 12" and place it on the seat behind the drivers seat. For me to import either from the US will make the price very much the same, so that isn't really a major factor. I am open to suggestions of other subs too, around this…

What would be some great sounding compents.I'm way out dated on this.everything in my car is factory minus my hu and my six year old 3 way pioneer 6x9's.pioneer use to b my only choice but things aren't made the same anymore.

I just bought a dcon 12 I'm putting in a 1.75 sealed box with 400w rms I know they hold up strong in the sq department but how about spl?? Will it be loud in a xtracab tacoma?

i plan to buy a sundown audio sd-2 12 dual 2 ohm and wil be running with autotek mm1-1500d. at 1 ohm in a 7 seated car toyota noah which is the best box can i make for it ported

How would u go about breaking in the subs.I would hate to destroy a sub over this.

I'm lookin for some 12s that will get really low.an maybe an amp recommendation some were around 1500rms.with about $1500 budget.maybe less.everyone around here has memphis,jl,re,audiobahn,ma.memphis mostly.wantin somethin diff.

This thread on SMD was pretty interesting. Pretty much guy buys a no name sub that is the same as another name brand sub for 3x less, then other poster sheds some light on how much imported subs really cost and how most of the money is marketing. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152076-vvme-12-ebay-mystery-subs-12000-for-2/page__st__180 http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/325679659/car_subwoofer.html

Hey everybody im trying to decide what to upgrade to. The above listed subs are what im considering, I listen to mostly bass heavy music like dubstep, and swisha house or any other kind of screwed music. I plan on putting the new sub in a slot ported box not 100 on the tuning just yet the sub will have to be dual 4ohm and im going to be powering it with a R E Audio DTS-1500.1 which is rated at 700x1 at 2ohms. Everybody just let me know what u think?? P.S the sub will be in a 91 civic hatch and will be a 12 thanks all in advance D.

Dodge charger trunk, here are the options, Im also open to anything somebody else could recomend. 1 dual 12 box about 4ft cubed, or 2 12 inch boxes about 2 - 2.5 cubes each ported. Subwoofers im interested in, GCON, or SA12. (or a subwoofer not much more than $200 each) Amp, a 1500rms or 1200 rms. I listen to mostly rap, heavy bass songs, and some dubstep. What should I tune my port(s) to? I was thinking 32hz What is my best option here? *My original idea was 2 seperate 2 cubic foot, 32hz boxes pushing 1200rms into 2 SA12s.*

First post here so excuse me if this is a dumb question. I have an RE SEX 12 in a sealed downfiring box with a Hifonics series 7 Zeus bridged at 4 ohms. The setup sounds great and hits all notes effortlessly. This sub started popping after a day or two at high levels though so i adjusted the gains way down. Will a sub with a higher power handling capacity help this or am i doing something wrong?

Just trying to see how you guys think 3 10"xcons would do in a 4th order that is 2.2 sealed and 4.5 ported before displacements. I know a lot of thing matter but The reason I'm asking is because that's the box I have my 15" zcon in . Its ported though the rear deck with removable port ( could make any tuning that would be good for the xcons) but not really wanting to do a new box right now cause its built in the car and I'm wanting to get louder. Loudest so far has been 145.6 and cant seem to get louder. .... would be at least doing rms. I have ho alt. 2 runs of 0 .close to 300ah of batts. lots of deadener .. let me know any questions you may have. Thanks

I was thinking a Fi Q or SSA Icon. Thoughts?

So, i've downed to 3 subs, IA Death Penalty 12", SSA Xcon 12" or Fi BL 12". Will be getting 2 subs. The amp that will be powering them will be the Crescendo Audio BC3500D. Max box size is 52x24x17. I listen to pretty much anything but mainly rap and hard rock. If theres something else I forgot to mention let me know.

Im building a new system and i want to match my sub to my amp i currently have. It will put 1200w rms @ 2 ohms and 1700w rms @ 1 ohm. I was looking at the BL 12 and figured since it had a 1500w rms that it would be a good match. Would u recommend the BL 12 or a different sub to match with my amp

Looking to upgrade front stage with some new components. I have it narrowed down to two: SA-6.5CS, or Focal 165A1-SG. Have heard nothing but good things about both brands but have no personal experience with either. Any feed back? I know Focal makes an awesome product but is their lower end line as impressive as their expensive stuff? I'm looking for something that will sound good playing a variety of music. Will one be more versitile than the other? Or am I better off just flipping a coin?

2000 Mustang Convertible, rear 5.25 speakers dont really work anymore since the car has been redone with new audio. I need new budget 5.25 speakers (or even a large tweeter) that I can replace them with.

Hey guys last night I blew my REX10D4's in my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo So here my current situation, I have Kicker DS693's in the front doors and DS65's in the back doors. I was running the REX10's with a Hifonics 1500D @ 4 Ohms which was overpowering them a bit but meh happens.(Amp is 1 Ohm stable) Alright so heres the dilemma I'm looking at either SA10s or E10s.(I listen to Rap/Rock) Currently I have a 3/4 MDF 2.0 cu ft box with 2 separate chambers and L ports tuned to 38 Hz (Also have a Sealed box laying around with .69 cu ft per chamber I believe) Now I'm only currently purchasing 2 with the intent of purchasing another 2 in the future. But I'm unsure which on…

i have 2 gcon 12s and my box is 4.6 @32hz net after all dis. i have 70sq in of port i have this thread going at ca.com but i cant really get anyone that has xp with these subs someone was saying it will be peaky? but it is built to specs... im just wanting some input... and hi all 1st post

I have a question about ohms. a duel 4ohm L 7 and a duel 2ohm L 7, Iam running series parell. what is the ohm load at the amp?

I have noticed some noise coming from one of the ssd's and took it out of the enclosure. turns out the tinsel leads have burned down some of the padding.I'd like to replace them to get rid of that terrible noise. so how do i go about taking the pads off? And i was thinking of grabbing some felt pads and 3m spray adhesive to repair. would that do me? Thanks.

I have a dcon 12 and plan to run it bridged with a Boston acoustics gt-2125 at 400w rms will that be too much it's a daily driver so I'm not gonna be pushing crazy hard all the time I plan to keep gain low and bass not so high

I have a 2004 tacoma ext cab with a single ssa dcon 12 svc 4 0hm and a Boston acoustics gt-2125 bridged to give the dcon 400w rms at 4ohms. I have a sealed box with 1.25 cuft of airspace it's a prefab ground shaker here I can use, it's new and came as a gift, my question is how would it sound sealed with 400w rms in a sealed enclosure?? All this stuff is new, and I just don't have 200 for a custom tune box right now and I really want to have something in my truck would it be good to use this sealed box or get a tuned and ported box.

2013 dodge charger, 180amp alternator. setup 1: 2 ported (32hz) SA12s on 1400rms amp @1ohm (700rms each) setup2: 3 sealed SA12s on 2400rms amp @1.3 ohm (615 rms each) Will the stock battery and amp be able to handle the 2nd setup? which of these is better for SPL and which for SQ? Any info will help, thanks. I am leaning towards 1st setup, just wanted to know if it was worth the 2nd. Im looking at a Hifonics GLX1400.1D
