Subwoofers / Speakers

Been out of car audio for some time... and now, with my new car... I am addicted again I was able to pick up a set of Boston Z6 comps for dirt cheap (yea Craigslist!). And have them hooked up to an old MTX amp, don't even remember the model, that I had laying around. Since these are 3ohm and I have them bridged to the MTX 4chan... the MTX doesn't like it. I don't think I ever had an amp get that hot. So I am looking for amp recommendation to power these hungry things. Any ideas? Thanks!

I just got my Pioneer PRS components running active on a Rockford Power 600-4 amp and Pioneer P800-PRS head deck. So far I'm quite pleased with the results but it's not perfect. On some songs I notice distortion/light bottoming which I traced to come from the 6.5" mids in the doors, and only when I'm really rocking out I've got them crossed over fairly low, at 80Hz because I've got my sub-stage crossed at 63Hz. I like the way this sounds, I could cross the mids higher and solve this problem but then it sounds like a large hole. I don't want to raise the sub crossover point either to fix this, my subs play pretty sloppy IMO near 80Hz plus I don't like what that does to…

Bought an SP4 last night and was wondering if anyone could help me with a design. My max dimensions are W: 38" D: 38" H: 42" or more was looking for a tuning of 30-33 hz if possible with a slot port design. will be running off a Rubicon 2500

ok, i am getting a new 15" (when they send these bad boys out). but i want to make a small sealed box, close to 2 cf. This is going to be put into a Saab 9000 hatchback. Also i have viped d1200.1. I have two box ideas, 1 is just a rectangle, and the other is a wedge design, witht the woofer facing somewhat at an angle. also i overhan the long peices over the sides. which one would sound better in my car?

that's how u finish a box...lol from termpro's pics of dbdrags world finals...david downey's truck awesome box!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I need some calculations or box and port volumes for my maw 15s,so when they arrive,i can start my box.I plan on 1 big box divided into 2 equal chambers ported.i put in the port calculator and it said for a 15 in driver w/xmax of 13mm 3cuft@30hz like the specs for the maw 15 call for it says port needs to be minimum of 40.5 sq inches and 37 in long to get 30hz.what box and port size does Mark recommend for max output and sq?and is 3 cubes include displacement of sub and port or is it 3 cubes plus port and sub disp.thanks for the help....Dave

Hello SSA, i recently picked up 2 12" mtx 9500's in a custom HUGE ported enclosure. i have a ext. cab ford ranger and the box is about 6"'s from my roof. the length of the box is fine, but its WAYYYY to deep. i was wondering on what i should do. i had 1 12" mtx 9500 in the sledgehammer ported box and it sounded AMAZING in my truck. i know alot of people say the sledgehammer boxes are hsit, but for osme reason it sounds really good in my truck. i cant find the sledgehammer boxes anywhere, so i decided to just build my own. iv never built a box befor. i have all of the tools to do it and all the materials in my garage ready to be cut. i have a good amount of knowledge when …

I will be starting my box for my DCON 15 today at about 5ish...give or take. I will be uploading pics as I go. I hope it turns out as good as my last one for my xcon 18. Stay tuned.

I am trying to put a system in my Ford F350 Super Duty 4 door and i am wanting to take out the center console but i dont know if i can get the speakers i want and a box to work where it is at. I am wanting to put 2 skar ivx 15 inch subwoofers in there. The space i have is 16 inches wide by 15inches tall by 32 inches long. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks

I built this box for my sons Scion. I did it this way so we could still use the area for light duty cargo space. 1.8 ft^ @34 hz with the port running straight along the back. It hit's decent for the L7 10 and Cadence 600ish watts. I know this isn't a killer build but as of right now I only have about $200 in the HU, amps, sub, and comp sets. Budget build for a kid kinda thing. Unfinished because I'm still on the fence... Messy here too for now... Here's the current port exit area. It's a little tighter toward the bottom than I like and why I brought all this up. I've been thinking of switching to a Sundown SA-12 in the same box running the same amp. Is the downfire/…

Which box would be best suited for daily use for the IXL 15? Or if anyone could help make a box. http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3c...hz56sqin6nx.png http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3c...z465sqin4wj.png

Man just got a design from Ryan at ram designs. All I have to say is design looks awesome. Ryan was a great Guy to deal with fast responses was miss communication on first design and he got me another design within a few hours. Great Guy and good customer service would happily do business with again. John T

Okay, so I got my 12' Pioneer subs a few weeks ago and I put them into an old box that I made for my other system a while back. After a few days of listening to music on my current setup, I noticed that my woofers were not hitting the lows AT ALL and I am a big fan of C&S Music so this was really disappointing for me. I ran all the parameters if the sub in bass box 6 and my recommended tuning frequency is like 21 Hz. Am I doing something wrong here? Also, Could anyone really help me out and just give me a quick rough draft of a suitable box design for this application. The specs on the sub are here http://www.pioneerusa.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/TS-W3002D2_Instructi…

Hey guys i really need someone to help me design a box. If you can help me please repost of send me a personal message. Thanks Guys

in recommendation by denim to post here, i run a f150 supercrew 2001(need to be able to use seats but not necessarily the middle) its a 40/60 split. i have pioneer headunit with door speakers that are amped.. and im looking to finish my system Im willing to run 2 10s. but, I have considered a single 12 in ssd or an icon. :] there are a few prefab boxes but they are 5/8 mdf and ya know... blah blah...and the recent recommendation is got offered was to do 2 10IDv3 subs in a 1.0 cube sealed box under the seat from supercrewsound now i would love help if anyone offered to design a box for me with blueprints or even build one for me of course money is involved there. im not s…

Sup,I believe that this is my 1st posting here at SS.I didnt know that there was even a forum for Stereo Integrity but I'm glad to see there is one.First I like to say that the Magnum is a monster of a sub(I have the 'claw' basket),definitely one of a kind.If something were to happen to this driver I'll either get it fixed or just keep it b/c the basket IMHO is a classic.Props to Nick & the gang @ SI for well built product.As u can see by my sig.(pic in my other reply is 1.4cf) that I am presently running 1 Mag in a 1.0cf sealed box ,the output from this setup is truly amazing.Even though it sounds great sealed,I really the ported sound better.Now to the fun stuff,I …

will this box be big enough for 1 10" level 4 xl? this box will be going under my rear f150 seats. it is a sealed box but i need some help designing it to be a ported box. but overall i need to know if there will be enough mounting depth to fit a 10" level four xl. Thanks

at the show i saturday i only did a 149.6 and thats on a term lab mic. i currently have the 2 in a 5. cube box after port displacement and before sub. my port is 5 by 14. im looking for a good all around loud box but i want it to sound decent. if anybody has any experience please post what worked best for you or any recommendations. thanks in advance.

alright, this isnt really about the subs in general, but I am not starting a build log right now so figured this is where it should go. I recently picked up a trio of ppi pcx102 dual 2 10" flat cones. I am going to wire them to a 1.33 ohm load, got a few ideas on amps but am wondering about how much power I could give to them. they are rated at 250 rms but was wondering if they could possibly handle a little more as long as its clean? I have more than this but am willing to devote about 5.5 cubes before port and sub to this build. I dont think 3 10s need that much air, but I have it if needed. subs will be forward firing for no other reason than the fact that I can then t…

I was thinking of buying a 18in or two, or maybe even a 21in DP. But in all reality I probably should just build on what I have. So I was thinking another 2 Dcons. I'm not sure how much louder it would be, or if it'd be worth it to try. I saw Hairyunicorns 6 Dcons, and yeah they looked like they looked like they did decent, but I think his issue was the box. A bit small. I have lots of room for these Dcons, and don't care about cargo space so... I was trying to design a box that would give the Dcons all the space they need, without losing my backseats. But if I have to... that is an option.. The space I have to work with without taking out the back seat: 35" high 51" wi…

I know prefab boxes arent very good, but right now I dont have the time to make my own box. Do you have any suggestions for a good prefab box for the 15" Magnum. Thanks.

Hello fellas, I just picked up a pair of Claw Magnums from Hoss. I've wanted to try these for a long time, and finally came across a pair that I could afford. My only question now is, what size of box is recommended for a pair of these subs? Also, if somebody could point me in the direction of about how much port area is optimal, that would be great also. Thanks, Ry
