Subwoofers / Speakers

Hollis and I got back from SBN last night (Monday night). We were there from Friday until Monday morning and it was a blast! Sean Belanger won S1 MECA with a 152.X dB score totally whooping everyone else in his class using two of our claw 12's. I'll post more later...gotta go.

i am planning on getting a regular cab chevy colorado within the next few weeks and am starting to plan out the sound system. so far i know the h.u, door speakers and tweeters. but am not sure about the sub, amp or box. i have been looking at ssa and sundown audio. i am more into sq than spl and listen to a variety of music anywhere from rap to metal. and i have a budget for the sub, box, and amp of around 600 to 700. space is the number one issue since its a regular cab, i do not care if there is room in the back i just do not want to have to have the seat pulled up to an uncomfortable position.

After throwing my original plan around for 4 18 inch bl's I decided I just don't want everything to be packed in so tight. I need some room. So I have a question..... Either 4 fi bl 15's or 2 btl 18's. Either setup will be powered by 2 hifonics 2608d's. Help is appreciated.

Quick question, what are the effects of a midbass/range driver missing its dustcap? Recently I dented my cone and tried to fix it but ended up with a speaker with no dustcap attached, no other damage to speaker whatsoever. Its a cheap driver so I can replace it but thought I would ask before purchasing another one. Thanks

Hey, Yall I just made an account for this page and I have a very important question... Last week I switched my set up from a 1.9 cubic foot sealed box with 2 10" kicker comp ds to a 2.0 cubic foot ported box and I have an awful smell at high bass. I did take my truck and have a local audio shop tune my kicker 1200 watt amp and it still smells... The subs are in perfect condition but they are about 3 years old but the box is a week old... If you need any more info please respond on here or email me at [email protected] Have a great day!

I realize that this forum does not like giving out decibel estimations, and that I'm not exactly endearing myself by asking, but I don

One of the coils on my 12" Mag is blown (I Think). when we wired the sub in series on a Volt meter the DCR was only @ like 1.5 ohms. Me and squeak9798 tested it @ his house and I think it took a big bite. Would there be anyway either Stereo Integrity or RE could rebuild this woofer for me? I am willing to pay and ship it to get it Fixed. I am sick of having no bass.

Which is better or cvx or L7. Im talking 15's

well, i officially suck at making polls!

Hey guys! Jw who all ordered the spl 15 and what your guys' plans to do with them were.. box design, amp choice, etc I'm still undecided on box but as of now im going to under power it with my Cadence Daytona 1000d and eventually upgrade to something that will actually feed this monster

Has anyone tried the new line of Precision power PC.15. Was wondering if they would be very reliable and if thet could handle their rated power for extended periods of time. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23663_Precision+Power+PPI+PC.15.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle

So, my sister wants a audio make-over for her '05 Liberty as the stock system doesn't work well with her iPhone and speakers are pretty shot. She listens to a lot of music and A LOT of differnt types of music. Id like to hook her up with a really well rounded system that I can setup and forget it. I have a RF P300-2 Id like to use to power a nice set of comps up front and we'll probably end up going with a run of the mill Alpine HU. Its pretty hard to search for feeling on components on here becuase I feel like everyone either wants some that is just loud, or some that is way outta price range for her needs. We'd like to keep it under $200 for a set of 6.5'' comps that wi…

I am picking up a kicker 350.4 today and I need help picking some speakers I was thinking the sundown 6.5 mid bass driver and tweeter set or is co axial a better route to go I have hardly any experience with door speakers so any help would be nice i listen to mostly rap but a little bit of everything according to my mood

How much longer till they start making there subs again and letting people like me buy them?

I could really use some advice here. I have a 2014 2500 Ram that I need to decide what route to take on subs and enclosure. This truck has two cavities in the floor area under the back bench seat. Fox Acoustics makes a box for it that’s molded to fit the area. It gives you 1.55 cu feet per side and it’s tuned to 35 HZ. You can do a pair of 10’s or 12’s but limited to a mounting depth of 7.25” and the magnet must be no more than 6.5” in diameter to work. They also do another box that has a center console for the rear built into this box. It let’s you use 4 10’s and the box is 4.3 cu feet and tuned to 34 HZ. Mounting depth is 7” max and the magnet diameter you can use is 7…

I got rid of the last 3 i owned due to numerous issues i've had with them. My first car was a civic, and well, i've always wanted a blue SI. I found this one a couple states away fs for 6k. Tons of mods, decent mileage, and extremely good on gas, so i said why not? Pic from a meet a month before i took ownership It's pretty much perfect exterior wise. Just needs a rear lip and darker tint. Doing some measurements, i have about 5 1/2 cubes available for a sub box. Here are my options 3 12" xcons sealed. This would be the cheapest of the 3 since i already have 2 1 15" aa smd. Not sure how much one of these will cost me, I've heard from 800 to a 1k? 2 12" zcons What w…

I hate buying amps they cost so much just call me mr cheapo so if i was to buy a amp for mj18/15 what would you guys buy? (for car) what should i buy what could i get by with? would a old Pioneer GM-H100 work? (320 max) any thoughts would be great

Finally got my sub from the UPS guy. I can't wait til I fab up a box for this baby. Anyhow...onto some pics! i'm loving the look of that motor! multiple vents for cooling. more cooling all around the top plate... next to my RL-p 15 More pics will follow as I construct the box sometime this weekend.

I have a 99 cougar with 2 12" l7s on a planet audio aq2500m. they are in the prefabbed kicker box with the side aero port. I have to run the subs at 4 ohms so they arent getting much power so i was wondering if I should: 1.) Try to sell the amp and buy a 1 ohm stable 2.) Sell them and buy dual 2 ohm coils 3.) Sell them and get 2 12" subs but that would have to be in the range of $100-$175 apiece ( was thinking maybe decons) 4.) Sell them and get a single 15 in a nice box but would have to cost around $200 give or take. If i do get a different set up I would hope that it would be an upgrade from the l7s. If i switch subs i probably won't get a new amp. This one isn't too t…

I was running a set of type r 6.5 components that I got from a friend for a steal. They're starting to go out on me so I'm looking to redo the set up. I'm looking to spend preferably no more than 200 on the speakers and around 200-250 on the amp. I'm willing to budge a little bit if it's worth the money. I really liked the type rs but if you guys have better suggestions for me I'm always open to those! Thanks guys!

Hey everybody i just orderd a dcon the other day and i have a box orderd also and its 2.0 cubic ft. and tuned to 41 hertz and it says that its best to have it at 33 hertz and i was wondering if that would affect the sub and if so how?

I'm looking for a good component set to pair up with my SSA Xcon 10 for my 350z! The doors have 6.5" speaker sizes, but I've also found custom door panels made for 2 speakers (looks like a 6.5" and a 5") Link - http://www.wickedcas.com/gallery/v/wcasdesign/Cutomdoors/100_0968small.jpg.html I'm planning to get the RF 600.4 amp so I'd be looking for something around the 150rms range -Kyle

ok I am looking for opinions here. what do you guys feel are the advantages and disadvantages of running several 8" subs compared to a single 15". Asuming both are installed properly and run off the same amp at the same impedience. Thanks Chad

I would love to do super sub comparsion between maybe 5 or 6 subs, here are a few I would personally put in the test: 1. New SI D2 2. SS RL-p 3. PB PR12D 4. PPI DCX122 5. Crystal COMPx2 6. Phoenix Gold Ti12D Elite and maybe a daily SPL sub comparo: 1. JBL Gti 2. RF T2 3. PB XS12D 4. CV Stroker Pro 5. MTX 9512 you guys have a dream list of subs you want to hear and find out more about them?

As stated in my intro thread, I have an '07 Ram Megacab. I have a decent amount of space to play with behind my rear seat. Dimensions are below. Ignore the dual sub design, it's just a photo to put the dimensions on. Original idea was a pair of sealed 12s. I talked with pro-rabbit and he suggested a single ported 12 GCON as one option, until he had exact measurements. He's been super swamped lately (understandably), so I'm trying figure out what I should purchase during this Black Friday sale while I can still save money. I've had all sorts of suggestions (whether they work with my space or not, I don't know) in my intro thread here: http://www.soundsolu...__fromse…
