Subwoofers / Speakers

I heard the low note is 16Hz or something like that, but there is a note around 3-6Hz several times

Okay DEI Viper 12's in a ported box. Is like .2 cu ft bigger than specs. suggest. Tuned to 28 htz. When in the Mountaineer I could put the bass to positive 3 and it slammed and sounded awsome. Now I have to have it at like -1 or 0, or else it sounds like ass. The box is now in a 1995 Dodge Intrepid in the backs seat. Reason it's not in the trunk is beacuse the trunk rattled like hell with the old subs and these murder my old ones so the trunk would be all I would hear. I want it to slam like it used to and sound good again. Got any ideas??? BTW Subs hit towards the roof and ports towards the front of the car. J

I tried to find other threads that might have helped, but didn't stumble upon any.. (maybe I didn't search the right keywords). But either way, my problem is that my sub will just randomly stop playing, and then start again. Here's my list of equipment - btl d2 sundown 1500d v.2 @ 1 ohm all knu wiring including big 3 alpine hu The first thing I did was check to see if it was the amp going into protection mode, and it's not. The blue power light stays on the whole time, even when it's not playing. The second thing I did was check to make sure all speaker wires were still connected/not lose, and they were all snug as a bug. I'm pretty damn sure my ground is good, as the ste…

More times than not, I see people on Youtube with an extra battery in the trunk instead of having a better alternator. Isn't this just pointless? You can hold more juice, but if you can't replenish it faster than you use it, what's the point of 2 batteries? The only thing I can think of is that it's better because you can charge both batteries when your system isn't playing. Just for me I always have my bass on when I drive so this seems weird to me. EDIT: Another thing that gets me. I have 900RMS and my headlights dim, meaning I may have to replace the alternator and battery which costs hundreds. How do people have 3000RMS and just upgrade their battery? I feel like for…

Doing some testing for couple compaines but MAINLY for myself. Vehicle is a 2000 S-10 ext cab Xtreme. Still have lots of subs to try, and things to do to current ones. Sundown Audio NSv2 D1 with SPL coil- 3900rms, 151.3 @ 43hz Sundown Audio NSv1 D2 coil- 2300rms, 149.5 @ 45hz Atmos Exo D2 coil- 1600rms, 149.7 @ 44hz Cascade Omega- 1800rms. 148.4 @ 49hz Incrimintor Audo Warden- 3200rms 152.0 @ 43hz DC lvl4 xl with Spl coil- did not clamp, 151.0 @ 43hz This was just after one day of testing fast as possible to keep tempature and conditions close to same as possible. Lots more on the way!

Ok I've been looking around a lot and the beefiest 10" I can find is the dc level four xl, with 1500rms that is probably underrated... I dont know prices but are there other 10" above 1000rms that dont break the bank? I really wish fi made a 10" btl but that magnet is HUGE... Im considering a single 10" for primarily spl purposes but the better it sounds the happier I am ... so any suggestions?

What would you guys recommend for a Beefy 10 inch woofer? Its gunna be run in a standard/regular cab truck and run by a sae-1000. I was thinking a BL 10 or an icon 10 but im not sure. I just want loud, shaking, low bass. Any suggestions?

OK So I have a 2000 Dodge ram Standard cab, I had 2 polk audio 12s in it 1 cu sealed per woofer. They are gone now. I am trying to decide if I want to go with 1 12 in center console area, 2 8's behind the seat s or 1-2 10s. I play a wide variety of music. I want it to pound when i want it to and sound clean when I need it to. With the truck being a std cab sucks for space. I am going to run a massive audio Nano N2 800 rms amp. I dont mind taking out the center console to replace it with a box but if I can get away with putting something behind the seats and the console then would be better all around. Oh ya for clarification looking at SSA ICON 12/10 respectively or 2 T…

Hey everyone im new to car audio. I am planning on doing something not too small and not too big for my first setup. I kinda have everything planned out i need some help from u guys too tell me what i should do and whats best for me. Well am planning on buying 1 fi btl 18" woofer with a 5000 watt amp that kicks out 2500 watts rms. I have a toyota tacoma 03 with a 4 cylinder engine. im new to this so i dont really know much, i was wondering if i need to do any upgrades to my alternator and battery to supply power. PLZ guys it is very much appreciated for a response asap THANKS!

first things first, should i order directly from the company or get the subs from a store. So what ive been looking at Ascendant Audio-Mayhem 18, Smd 18, and havoc 18 Fi-BTL 18 Rockford fosgate- Power 12 or 15, punch15 Then for amps i am looking at Soundstream-XXX, Refernce Rockford fosgate-Prime500-1, Punch400-1 I also dunno what are good amps, i alrdy have 10' pioneer subs in the car, and i have a 2005 toyota 4 runner Thanks Sam

Hey what would you choose for the best 10" SQ sub for $75 or less? I know that's not much to work with but those are my limitations right now so that's life. I can feed it up to 800 watts RMS. It will be run sealed in an 11" cube...so like .5 ft^3. Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks. EDIT: Go to second page....entire goal changed due to increased finances.

I have 2 boxes in my trunk. Each identical, like the picture above. My boxes are around 1 cubic foot, with these 2 ports tuned around 33hz each box.. There inside a 2000 Ford Mustang Vert, and there the best I can do. my best response is around 35-45hz in the cabin. My amp is a kicker 750.1 running around 800 or so rms, cleanpower. My current subwoofers, 2 Kicker CVRs. There great subwoofers, but im looking for more, an I know people I can sell them to so I can get a decent return on them. Im looking for the best 10 inch subwoofers I can place in these boxes to get the most out of my system. I am not sure how well different subwoofers preform in different enclosures,…

Hi I am looking for subwoofer recommendations for 12 inch to be used in a SEALED enclosure I got 3 cubes GROSS and 2000rms to play with I want the subs to be able to get low, so f3 has to be in the mid to low 30s I also want them to get LOUD with high SPL so i guess that means it has to have strong motor and plenty xmax Some subs i was thinking of are: DC level 3 12s SSA gcon (these are 750 rms each, would 2 of them be ok on 2000rms? i dont know if these subs are underrated or not) SSA icon (these are 1250 each...would 2 of them be on on 2000rms?) IA lethal injection (no idea what the F3 is on sealed boxes on this sub) Image dynamics IDMAX v3…

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

I don't have a car yet being 15, but I still love audio, I have a 330rms amp in my room, yes, it's wimpy, but I'll save the big stuff for my car, any recommendations for a 12 that will work on that wattage in a small ported box?

So I am pretty set on putting 4-12s in my malibu. I have been looking into the AQ HDC3 12s and they look beast as well as the AA Havoc 12s. What I'm looking for with this thread is what sub do you guys think I should go with? I can put each sub in a box about 2-2.5 cubes each, and I will be running a Sundown 2000d on each pair so roughly 1000-1250 watts each sub. The thing with the 4-12 setup is the space, I have 42w, 34 length, and 12-15 Height. At first I was thinking subs up port back would be the best bcz I don't know how I could fit subs back port back with only 42 inches of room? SO yea any ideas on subs and a box design would be great

Ok so I already have the box it’s 2.5 cubes net per sub. I’m trying to see what specs would be most important for sealed . From what I’m taking lower f3 is important. Currently looking at sundown sa15’s and incriminator audio lethal injection 15 .

Hi guys I am trying to figure out what is the best sub for around $200 that I can get. Here are my criteria: 15" 1000 rms More for SPL than SQ ~$200 I would prefer 1ohm stable but doesn't really matter.... My amp is a AQ1200D-rated at 870rms @ 2ohms and 1200rms @1ohm.... So far I am leaning towards the Alpine Type-R 15", many people have positive reviews about it... What other subs could I look at? thanks in advance!

its some what shy of 4 ft. the box is currently tuned at 40hz, which i can lower if need be. I am looking for the loudest subwoofers. I am not too worried about SPL but i dont want it to sound like pure shit. I was thinking about l7s, but thought id ask to get others advice. thanks! btw, i need two and would like to stay under 500 but i can change my price a little higher......... edit, just realized i typed SPL when i meant SQ. its time for me to get sleep. lol

SO, after too much measurements, calculations...ect. I could do a vented enclosure, 1.5" thick mdf all the way around, port it...and after sub disp., still net 5 cubes per sub. My question now is, what would be best in this "small box 4 sub" type of enclosure... RL-P, Fi Q, BL,.... would like to get loud but sound good, and these subs fit in that requirement 4 sure... "also need to see 1 ohm at amp(orion 2500D)" side note. or, maybe 2 DP's? more spl oriented of course. I was searching threw the SS forum, and someone said 5 cubes would be choking them...? is this true?, should I go Fi Q/BL w/options...? or should I stick with a couple 15"s...? as 2-15" properly boxe…

what sub will handle 3k rms daily?

ok so my friend has a fi sp4 18 ordered and he wants me to get a single 18 setup also with the evil, smd, ect. and if i can find a good deal on them i might buy two or i might buy 2 sp4s what do yall think the best 4" coil sub is right now? ps. im going for low bass and i have enough room for one or two but if i go two im going wall

What would you guys buy if you had 250 dollars and you could only have a coaxial speaker. What 5.25" would you buy?

looking to spend $450 or less. currently, im looking at the cdt audio es-62i or the re audio xxx components. i know these components sell for a lot more but there are places online that are offering deals on them. i have a 200watt eclipse amp (willing to upgrade if necessary). im looking for a set that will go well with 2 ported 12s (like fi q or icons) that will be either powered with 1500watts or 2500watts. i dont have any access to listen to different components so i have to decide from experiences people have online. if you recommend other components, please post them as well. appreciate the help!
