Subwoofers / Speakers

im curious if anyone has any experience with bravox subs, or have heard anything, ie quality and service thanks.

I'm familiar with the braxial speaker system from CDT, and that's what I want for some rear fill. Are the CDT's any good? Are there other brands that have models with the same format? I'd like to have the tweeter mountable on the mid so that it all fits in the factory door spot, but I want to be able to adjust the tweeter. I almost always have to dial the tweeters down to -3db for my preferences. Hence the reason I don't just want coaxials. There's a chance I could do regular components and just put the tweeter next to the mid, but I'd like to see about this first. I'd also preferrably not like to pay the $450 that they want for the CDT HD braxials.

i searched and i saw posts that say 1/2 volume for 30 min ppl say 2 days 1 1/2 hour each day 15 out of 35 volume. no break in (that is BS i think). witch is best? i have a hifonics running 1000@1Ohm. i was going to do volume 15 out of 35 on my alpine w200 for 2 hours listing to randome stuff. maybe even let the car run and watch some tv for a few hours. should i listen to very bass intence music at low volume? like visionsofthefuture.mp3, ResponseTest.mp3, SubBassEffects.mp3, BassCheck.mp3, ect. all from http://realmofexcursion.com/

Alright, I honestly don't believe in breaking in subs usually. I've never done it with anything I've owned and never had a problem. Well I just placed an order for a second sa12. I currently have one I used by itself for probably 6 months so its nice and loose. Plan is to pair it up with the new one...will I have any issues since 1 is nice and broke in and the other will be brand new? Will I need to loosen up the new one first or will it just happen on its own over time?

is it true when you first install a sub and run it for the first time it's best you should not play it at full power for a while.the reason i ask this is because i was never told this by anyone before you had to do this and i wanted to make sure since i been playing my sub at full power for like 4 hours total since i had it and i can tell the sub is not real stiff after playing it for a while ?

Simple question...what is the best way to break them in? Any specific notes i should try...maybe a sweap? 30hz-100hz? Sumthing like that?

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

Hello everyone, I'm trying to repair my AA Mayhem 12. My leads broke in the middle of the spiders and I'm not sure how to get to them so I can solder them. Does anyone know how to disassemble a Mayhem or got a video on how to do it? Or does anyone know an easy way to get at the leads? Thank you, Brad.

Here ya go fellas... picking up where we left off on our threadjack Triple titanium reinforced heavy duty hinges you got there??? Mind telling us how you have those all wired up? And you say on 1k on each driver or per door?

hey i have a question i have a btl 12" wit only the cooling option and i'm wondering if i get a recone kit for it can i get the hi xmax coil of did i have to choose that to begin with

who of the two respone better to frequencies + low , Forgive but my english is bad Nowadays I have 1 btl 18 " and think to buy other one

what is the difference between the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm on the btl's? is it just what the sub can handle, and can be wired down and witch is better the 1 or 2?

Well after a lot of talking with Shizzz and screwing up not being able to fix the box in the trunk (and realizing I cant fit the box and the amp and the batts back there) I am thinking I am best to go to a single woofer. Now I was reading around and it looks like a single Fi BTL 15" can be used in a 3 cuft box. I am going to be throwing a SAX-3500D at a woofer by the way so I will be over-powering almost (I think) any woofer out there. But after talking to Shizzz some more he says that he recommends the level 5 12 at a minimal 2.5cuft box. I can do that seeing as the original box was about 5.5-6 cu ft. But wondering what would be best on the smaller box size -- either a B…

first up the btl recone old box 2 15's btl's the crappy single box i made out of the box above, lol on to the recone get that dustcap off first nice cover the hole and while i was at it got teh ca off the leads and pulled the old tensil out easier said than done.. resolder the new leads in and used some goop to cover them resolder back to the post and put the cap back on wt some gasket glue

Ive heard differnt things, one being that the BL is more for the daily beater and the BTL for the "competion sub" Which is better for a daily sub that will not compete in SPL contests and who wants to have LOUD music.

I was looking to see what some opinions of each of these, or the goods and bads of both, i will be running a audiioque 2200d amp, in a 2 or 2.5 cube box, in a daily setup so which would be a better sub? And does fi have any kind of warranty at all?

For this im going to compare only 18" woofers.. BTL N3 the king of SPL! This is the loudest subwoofer on the market that I'm aware of.. FS 51 - This thing doesn't go low! Shitty sound quality, but hey this thing is so loud, who cares? lol Spl: 95.3dB 1W/1m super efficient 3000w RMS BTL N2 FS 34 Spl: 94.0dB 1W/1m 2000w RMS ZCON FS 32 Spl: 94.9db 1W/1m 2250w RMS MAYHEM FS 33.7 Spl: 94.8dB 1W/1m 2500w RMS Between the BTL N2, ZCON & MAYHEM..Based on the FS I would think these subs all sound about the same, they would all sound good.. they all are about the same efficiency (High Efficiency) so the important number here is the rms power. The Mayhem takes f…

That's the box. The subs are Lanzar 15" MAX Pros 2000w max. Amp is a Kenwood KAC-1000D or w/e. Any suggestions to the box or changes that will make them hit harder?

i'm thinking about adding a cheap 10" sub to my dad's home audio setup. i was thinking about a RE re10d4 in 1.5cu @ ~28hz or something along these lines. his stereo receiver has a sub preamp output so i can just buy a cheap mono amp (100-200w) for power. the sub will be going with a pair of monitor audio rs6 towers in a medium/large living room. for price reference the re subs go for about $50ea. i was also looking at the dayton hf but they're about twice as much, i'm trying to stay under $75 shipped if possible. any suggestions???

My g/f is wanting to use my old sub box to replace her current RF sub setup. She has a PPI i450 (450w @ 2ohm) amp and we've been looking at either SSA DCON or the IA I-series. Goals would be that the sub has to work with the current amp and work well with the box. Box is made for a 12" sub and is 1.35cu ft (was previously made for an ICON) and is sealed. She's primarily looking for more output and deeper bass than her current sub which is a 10" $50 RF sub, so I know either of these will be better. Which sub would be the better to go with? Are there better options than the two mentioned above?

Whats up, Im not really wanting to this be a VS thread really, Im just looking for some last minute opinions before i order, i have the cash in hand which ever i end of picking which will probly be tonight or tomorrow morning. These 3 were chose because there close within budget. These Would all be pair's also. American Bass Xd 15 - 3" Coil, "Rated" 700rms (the 3" coil is talking to me lol, gives me some upgrade room) Soundqubed SDC2.5 15 - 2.5" Coil, "Rated" 600rms(i know they take alittle more from exp) SoundQubed HDS2 15 - 2.5" Coil, "Rated" 600rms(not much info on it) These are all simliar in price(at least for what i can get a pair for), and im trying to decide bu…

Hey all, I am workon an a build right now, and I am unsure what I should look into for 6.5's and tweets. I am currently running Nendo Pwx's , but they simply do not put out the sound that I am looking for. I am not looking for anything expensive, and I am on a pretty tight budget right now. I will be mounting 2 6.5's in the front doors, and I will be mounting 2 to my wall once it's built. I have a nendo 800.4 for power Thanks in advance ~

Got a question? Im getting a pioneer dehs5100bt head unit. Im going for budget sound quality. Question is alpine xse 6925s or fosgate r169×2. If wife lets me up the $ a litte im going for jbl club. Also running 2 terminator 12s in sealed box. Like i said budget lol

I have an alpine 2 channel amp that does 70RMS at 4 ohms and 120 RMS at 2 ohms. I'm looking for a set of 6.5 components to run as my front stage. So far I wont be running a rear stage. The lower the price the better and I dont want to buy used unless I can pick up in person etc, so classifieds are out. Long story. My MAX budget would be 120. I was considering some power bass S6C's, they are around 50$ shipped. What would you recommend?

i listen to mostly rock/metal and need a budget comp set with good midbass.. doors will be deadened with raamaat and have an mdf baffle.. budget is around $150. any suggestion?
