Experts, can someone help identify this FI Audio 15 inch subwoofer model?

I was planing to build a box that's about 1.50 cubic feet tuned to 36hz that's all I have room for. But I don't know which sub I should get Sa-12 Sa-10 E12v2. My amp should do around 750rms clean. This is for a ext cab truck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what size and tuned to what frequency. want lots of bass but sound good as well also how much power should i give them to make them perform but not ware them out too quick? thanks

When I originally heard the IB3 18's Xmech was "shortly after its 30mm Xmax" I assumed maybe it was 31mm-33mm. So when I heard the IB3 22 was going to have a 38mm Xmax and 96% of the Vd of two IB3 18's, I thought the 22" was going to have a lot more Mechanical clearance than the 18's. But the 22's are going to have the same profile surrounds as the 18's, so the same or similar 41mm - 42mm Xmech. I'm not going to be able to replace my 18's with the 22's. At 8 ohms I already have to be careful to avoid over excursion. I planned on running 8 ohms for the 18's for safety, but 4 ohms for the 22's. The 22" isn't going to work. I'm probably going to have to order a 2nd pair of 1…

So I'm getting a Sundown SAZ-1500D AMP from a member on here, when I stumbled upon a Sundown Nightshade 15" D2 for a really good deal, I know nothing about the sub. The car will be a daily driver and I was originally going with a RE Audio SXX 15" D2, so is the sundown a better sub? Pro's and Con's of both?

I am wanting to know what size of a ported box would i need for the 18 IXL if i wanted it to be built to 35hz.

Ok just wondering some opinions on whats a good 10 inch sub woofer has to be round the box is fiberglass and already built I listen to mostly rap the box is about 2 cubic feet with 2 3inch areos in it tuned to about 36 in the back of a hatchback im looking for something beefy amp will be selected after i choose my sub.

Let me start this off by saying I have searched and read through many posts here and on the Caraudio.com and on theTCSounds forums to try and help me make this decision. Basically what I have is this I am planning to downsize from my current Eclipse 8122(TC7 motor) to a single 10. The sub will live in a sealed enclosure preferably on the smallish size as the reason for my downsize in system is that I have a new addition to the family and trunk space now comes at a premium! I have been looking at the following subs TC-1000, TC-7, RL-i and an Eclipse 8102 NIB off of Ebay. Based on what I have been able to gather the TC-1000 and RL-i are very similar in that they both use th…

But what subs should I look at? Ill be running 2 Mmats 2000.1d's . Supposedly rated at 2000@1ohm rms. I know the slightly older d2000.1s were rated at 1500. I dunno. Its a 1995 z28 . My son wants to do an spl car next year. I have no issues losing my cargo area or back seat.

I'm looking at the Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-S for front and Rockford Fosgate Power T1692 for rear. However, I'm a bit scared of the aluminum tweeter. I've had bad experiences in the past with non-silk tweeters (Kappa). I liked the sound from my CDT CL-62's with TW-25S silk dome tweeter. The Kappa's would literally give me a headache and make my ears ring. While TWO sets of the CDT's I could listen to full tilt all day with no side-effects. All properly amped. Another option for me would be the Image Dynamics CTX-6.5cs. But don't know if they are too deep (mounting) for my 2005 Civic doors even with spacers. They have a silk dome tweeter, but I heard they are harsh!. S…

as stated previously... the SPL proto 12 is on the way here... and after I do the offical business related testing for mark.. its time to have some fun... post what videos / testing you want to see.. power... isn't a problem we'll have 4 sundowns, and 2 memphis 4kws on tap... vehicles... gotta suv, hatchback, trunk car, and crx on tap.. boxes... aren't a problem.. we've got 20 sheets of wood, and saws..

hey guys im new here and im in the process of getting a Denali XL and i want to get some serious pound put in it. i been reading around on here for a couple days and i been hearing alot of talk about the BTL's and the HDC3's both sounds very tempting but i was thinking about getting six 15" hdc's or four 18" btls....and the amp that i was looking at were two AQ3500's because they look like a chit load of power for the price. im not looking to pay no more than $3000-$3500 max on subs and amps and i want it to sound like good hard hittin quality bass so what would be my best option... OH and this just for daily beating..well mainly weekend

Just tryin to see how close the two are. the Mag will be n a 03 chevy impala in a 2 cubic box tuned to 32 runnin off a sundown 1500d the rf punch hx2's are in a 02 chevy impala in a 3 cubic sealed box runnin off a rf 1501bd Just see if the mag can get as low and loud as the Hx2's?

Hi folks and Mark, I purchased an MAW-12 earlier this year to build into a home audio set-up for my apartment, to also match with another DIY speaker project I completed this year. I built it in a sealed top-firing configuration with a separation between the driver and the top plate. The bottom is heavily reinforced and the sub now sits on a square cement plate covered with foam window insulation. I did all this in an effort to minimize floor vibrations and to help prevent too many enemies forming against me while I begin the DIY audio thing. I'll post a picture and a link to see the sub with the other components of the system it is matched with. I'd like to say t…

So I have most of the system planned. Truck is a super cab 2014 F150. Subs will be two RE REX 10s Dual 4s. Each sub will get .72 cubic feet sealed. Box is going under the rear seat. Sub amp will be SAE-1000D Comp set amp will be Rockford Fosgate P300x2. I am not sure what comps to go with. Going to be a 6.5" set. Budget up to around 200 ish dollars for them. Top mount depth cant be more than 2 3/8th inch. Have been looking at Kappa 60.11cs, Alpine Type R, JL c2-600 is close enough with a spacer. I might need to spend a little less to get a smaller driver, because I cant space the speaker out from the door too much with out hitting the door panel, and I am not …

A while back I bought a cheap budget system used off one of my buddies friends for $150 bucks. It was an 12" Orion sub, Alpine amp, and a Obcon box. Sounds pretty good and hit fairly hard. So when I bought it, the seller stated it was a 200 watt rms sub running off the amp @ 2 ohms which produces 300 watts rms. He didn't know the model of the sub just the specs the local audio shop told him when he bought the package. Well I am in the process of installing 2 ssd 12" and a 1600 watt amp. So for fun while I am waiting to finish the box I decided to pull the sub from the temp setup just to laugh at the tiny magnet it should have. Based off what he told me and the dust cap I …

So basically I am trying to figure out which subwoofers would be best for me. Background info: Vehicle: 2000 suburban (space is really no issue for me) Amps: 2 planet audio ap1000d's (rated for 650 but i believe put out well over 800 watts) Plans: currently im running 4 12'' cvrs and im ready to upgrade so i want to run 2 18's , I plan to get dual 2 ohmn coils so i can wire at 1ohmn with one sub per amp, this will be a daily pounder, and i will be pushing everything hard, I have the big 3 and a 220 amp iraggi alt, i have the best knu koncepts 0ga wire, and all i need to beef up my electrical is a second battery. I am choosing from Fi subs and my gut is telling me that …

So I have been tossing around a few ideas. 1st I am thinking of running 2 IXL 10's in a center console, vented enclosure tuned to 32hz (not sure what cuft would be best?) these would be run off my 1200.1 Tantrum @ 2 ohms The goal of this set up is to save some space over my current set up while maintaining similar output. My current set up is a single TC sounds 15 3k 3.2ft^3 tuned to 32hz. (I love everything about this set up, just wanting to try something new) The space I would like to stay in for this new set up would be 20" high x18"wide x 24"depth subs and port both facing back. what would be the optimal cuft and port area? so that is the 1st and most practical set up…

i think i'm stealing andy's idea where he used a sonotube, passive radiator setup. i have a maw12 and a kicker kx400.1, will be using a tube.....now, i need the pr. other then the ones from boston and tc, anyone know where i can get a mach 5 one? lol. actually, looking for a budget one. maybe a mach5 cone/basket?(i know that's not the best way to do this, but it is a budget system in a budget car) thoughts? ideas? links? thanks ahead of time! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I have these mystery 15" subwoofers, I need some help finding out who makes them and what they're rated. The way they are installed atm in this guys tahoe would make it a real pain to take them out and check the back, so hopefully this is the easiest solution. The dust caps say five star champion series, Anytime I try to search the internets for them I get 5star ratings on subs and pioneer champion series.

I have a single 12 dcon on 400w in a sealed box I was thinkin of either gettin another dcon and have two sealed or port this dcon now and then later switch to gcon??? Either way I have to get a new box sub and amp. Which would be louder the gcon will get 800w rms at least and the two dcons would get around 750-800 aswell

I have a 2005 F150, Supercrew. I've come up with a plan of action that I had planned on doing. I currently have a Jensen VM9022( I know it's not the best), and 4 way 6x8 Pioneers(want to replace) I really want to components, with an amp and 2 10s under the seat(or if I can make my own seat lift) 2 12s under the seat. I listen to Rap, and Country mostly so I like it to REALLY knock. I have this setup planned 1. Alpine SPX-17REF= $359.98 179.99(each) 2. Alpine MRP-F600= 242.47 3. 10" Kicker Subs/Box Package=359+shipping? 4. Kenwood Excelon X1200M=269 5. Kicker PKD1 Dual amp kit= 102.99 6. Kicker SI27 2 pair RCAs=29.98 7.
