Subwoofers / Speakers

Ok, I was getting ready to order some 10 gauge Knu speaker wire. Then I called a friend and he said he had about 40 feet of 8 gauge Knu wire. My question is can I use the 8 gauge or would it be overkill for the power I'm running? I will be upgrading amps in the future so if I use the 8 gauge I'll be set.

Yup..finally ordered my crescendo 5500... Just a few more weeks and i cant wait..... Very customer friendly guys.....

Plan is to run one of these in a ported 1.0 box, My amp; Arc Audio 900.6, will put out 550 wrms bridged @ 4 ohms. How much of this power can I safely run to this sub?

Found someone selling a pair of Punch HE2 RFP3208s for cheap, and was thinking of picking them up to toy with since Ive never used 8s before. I cant find anything about them though except a lacking manual that doesnt have all the normal specs in it. Basically just 250w RMS, 11mm xmax, and box suggestions. Anyway, they are BNIB, and Im guessing kind of rare since I cant find anything on them. Has anyone heard or used them before that can comment if they are worth trying out?

Hello all i think i found what i am looking for in 2 ..15 inch subs.. the zcons..... I am putting them on a cres..5500 . I hope this will do the job for a everyday use(really 10-12) times a year.... I hope this is a good choice..... Anyone with experience with zcons let me know... Ty in advance.......

So i just got my wife 4 kicker cvr15's and i was calculating a box and holy crap 16cu ft!!!! At least!!! And kicker says that i should tune my box at 28hz??? Someone please help me out with a box...

I have JL C2 6.5 components in the front and coax in the rear of my truck. Running off a JL JX 360 amp. I also have an SSA ICON 10 and sundown sax-1200 to power it. I was wondering where i should set the high pass filter for the speakers and the low pass filter for the sub?

Alright well I have a very low budget for all door speakers and some bass... I definatley need the 5.25 door speakers. And I can't decide to either get 2 12s and leave my 6x9s out so it's just holes there. Or should I amp a set of 6x9s and no subs? My budget it around 400 for everything, speakers wires amps everything... It's all going in a 98 olds mobile alero. Thanks for any help you can give!

My friend just got a 01 golf gti and wants a straight SPL sub. I told him just run a 12 since he wants to keep some space. What is a good all out SPL sub for daily loudness? His budget is $500. He doesn't care about sound. Also power will be off a 2k either dc or crescendo.

Hoping to get the powerbass 15 inch sub and power it with an audiopipe apsm 1300. As you can tell it's a budget bass project. but are there any better options for the same price or less? Or does anyone have any come tsunami about the amp or subwoofer? Any experience with this equipment?

Just got 4 Kicker cvr15's for my wives truck...they are 500wrms and i have a hifonics 2000wrms amp...the problem is that i bought the in 4ohm so a 2ohm load is what i can do...so each sub will get 400w...will i be ok

Has anyone ever built one thta fits in the well? I need to get 4 cubes out of it somehow an paying for someone to build it doesnt look like its in the budget :-)

My Mb Quart pvi 216 6.5 componets went out and i was curious what speakers i could replace them with? i honestly was not to happy with these speakers so any brand would work just something that will mesh with the crossovers and tweeters. what would you guys recommend? really could use the help with what 6.5 speakers to get. price im flexable with and im putting these in a 2001 f150. thanks! here are the specs of the kit brand new.. Features: 6-1/2" Premium Series 2-Way Component Speakers System Power Handling: Peak: 140 watts RMS: 70 watts [*]Polypropylene cone woofer [*]Rubber surround [*]1.5" Titanium "Widesphere" tweeters with neodymium magnets [*]Magnet system with si…

I've got a box for a single 12" just sitting in the garage and thought I'd put it to use. I'm looking for some recommendations for a cheap twelve. This is just something to get me by for a while so I'm only looking at spending around $50 max. The box is just over 1 cubic foot (something like 1.12 I think) and the cutout is a hair over 11".

In the middle of building my system........ I have the pioneer avic-z130bt with Infinity Kappas for the dash and 4 Doors , I have the Kappa 4 Channel amp for the door speakers.. I also ordered Raam Audio; RAM matt and Ensolite to sound proof but cant make my mind up on which subs to get.. Im leaning more towards the Orion from what i have been reading as its more comparable to the JL W6... But would like some insight on what some people think on here The Orion is 500 RMS and the JL Is 300 RMS

On the website under enclosure recommendations it says optimal for ported it says 1.5^ft and then the free enclosure designs it shows the optimal one is 1.35^ft. Sooo whats actually recommended?

Im wanting to get a two 15" setup. Either Fi Q or Fi BL. Its gonna be an everyday setup. I just dont know which to get. Either one, I will get will be fully loaded and then the amp to go with it. It's going in a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer LT. And I know I'll have to upgrade all my electrical, but I don't know hardly anything about car audio so any help will be useful

So I've been running my RLp 15 for 7 years now with no problems. Thing still rocks. But I've grown tired of my current box and amp and would like to change things up a bit. Currently I'm running a sealed enclosure with the sub inverted along with a Directed 1500D. I'm looking at a new amp and another sealed enclosure but this time I'm going with a standard box with the sub installed with the basket inside. My question is this: Should I continue to run the sub at 1 ohms or should I wire it to run at 4 ohms? The reason I ask is back when I bought my sub I was chatting with Mike about my box design and amp and he told me I should really pair the sub up with a good 500-600 wa…

Has anyone used these subs? Im currently running two wired at 4 ohm bridged to a 2 Channel Planet Audio 2600.2. Its getting 1800 rms. Can these subs safely be over powered because i know some subs are rated lower than what they can actually take. Also, if anyone has used these subs, have you ever been metered?

I recently got 2 sundown audio sa-15, i put them in a 7cuft box tuned to 35 hz. I have the big 3 down and a yellow top optima under the hood. I plan on having the amp professionally tuned to their won't be any clipping. So here's my question.... If i buy a hifonics brutus 2400.1 can the subs handle it? i've heard people can put more on them so anybody that has these want to give me some input?? thanks!

I just ordered an Icon 10 last week. (which im really excited about) While checking my order status i came to find that during the phase awaiting shipment, that meant my sub was actually being built as i ordered it. This is new to me as the last time i ordered subs they were just shipped right to me off the shelf. I kind of like that my sub was made as i ordered it. Then i got curious as to the build process and after searching and not finding anything im wondering if anyone knows of a video or maybe a set of pictures that kind of gives you an idea of the build process of the actual subwoofer from start to finish. Im assuming there are certain parts they would want to le…

What size wire can they accept?
