Subwoofers / Speakers

So I was at a car show the other day and heard a setup with 4 sets of components in the doors. I was astonished by the loudness and clarity. I want to do something similar. I am on a budget and am looking to spend around $600 as far as speakers go. So yes (8) total midbasses and (8) total tweeters. I have looked on parts express and it is possible. I just don't know what to get and what would best suit my needs. I am looking for loudness and clarity. Obviously sound quality or staging is not of importance. I am trying to keep up with my 4 18s and this seems to be the best way to do it. I listen to a lot of techno and hip hop. I would like to cross over around 60 hz as f…

just got my shipping email today, man im so excited. still undecided on if i should just leave the jl in for now or go ahead n put the sundown in. i really want 2 xcons and 2 sundown 1500s for an upcoming show but im trying to get a box built. i think that would hit pretty hard in the cab of my truck. even tho everybody has seen em already imma still post pics when it gets here lol

super small budget build... sub is 99 bucks on woofersetc so i figured what the hell, there's a guy over on ca doing ported boxes for 30+ shipping so 130-150 for box and sub isn't too shabby.... * Peak Power Handling: 1400 Watts * RMS Power Handling: 700 Watts * Frequency Response: 16 300 * Subwoofer Size: 15" * Impedance: dual 2 ohms * Dual Voice Coils * Basket: Cast alloy basket * Recommended Box 1 (Vb): 1.50 cu. ft. sealed * Sensitivity: 1,6dB * Cone Material: Treated paper diaphragm / Poly parabolic dustcap * Former: Kapton * Terminals: Gold binding posts * Mounting Depth: 6 3/4" says 1.50 sealed, so i figure about …

Some pics of today show in Auburn,In. Some of the pics came out kind of dark. 140-149.9 final. Blue truck is from Quebec. Guess what these are. Stoker saying wheres the high numbers at Got Sundown? 4 DDs against 2 18 TCs

I thought about painting the basket on my subwoofer. I wonder would preventing the paint to get through the vent windows on the bottom of the basket be a issue when painting the basket of a speaker that is still working. I figured i ask before i try and if it would be bad i would just paint the basket on the avalanche i need to recone.

Alright, well i told a friend that i would help him out with getting some subs in his car. He really isnt into getting loud, he just wants a little extra. So i told him like a smaller sized sub, like an 8" or 10" would be good. He doesnt want to spend too much on this setup so i was wondering if you guys could help me out with some subwoofers that might be a good choice. Probably close to around $200. Ill buy used if i need to, just need some help on what some good options would be.

Its really nice and shakes my truck. If your looking for a small sub i reccomend this.

Just out of curiousity, which would have more output with 1000 watts? I know both have great SQ. 1 Icon 15 ported or 2 RL-i 10s ported? Each setup for a LSQ setup, not a SPL or SQ setup.

I dont care if they are components or coaxials but im getting a sundown sax50.4 but i need door speakers ill take any suggestions the amp does 50 per 4 at 4 ohms or 80 per 4 at 2 ohms. Im trying not to spend more than 100 maybe 125 including shipping. All input is welcome thanks

Does SI have something up their sleeve on the component side? Something like the RE XXX6" in a 3 way comp system?

Check out this recipe: 1 jigsaw 1 18.4 left over from an abandoned IB HT project 1 Crappy old '93 F150 4x4 standard cab haulin' truck various stereo parts, amplifiers, puny speakers, wires, nuts and bolts Cut bigass hole in the back of the pickup, behind the bench seat.

Here's the list of inventory that will be auctioned on April 23. http://www.auctionflex.com/showlots.ap?co=...on=〈=en Interesting that the list contains all the boxing with the name "AudioPulse" on it. Perhaps I'll see some of you there.

Ok guys here is the deal. I am putting together a system for a buddy with a budget of $800 for sub, amp and seperates. Details: 2004 Hyundai Sonata Source- Alpine INA-W910 4- Channel- Diamond D3 500.4 He WANTS rear 6x9's and 6.5" components for the front. I narrowed it down to: Rockford T1693 & T1652-S or Alpine SPR69 & SPR60C Now, for the sub. He is going to buy a Diamond HEX750.1 (1 ohm stable). My debate is going with either 2 12" DCONS ported or 1 12" GCON ported. Space is not an issue and I will be building a box to suit the needs of the sub. Any reccomendations on the sub choice or components???

last night i got the Soundstream 15" XXX pics to come later...

anyone have any experience with these subs? I can get a couple 12s from someone local for 250. I watched a couple youtube vids of them but you cant tell much about them. the guy selling says they are the loudest subs he has ever had but he also said that kicker L7s were the loudest he has had before that so idk. ps 12 d4. lmk what you guys think

Still tossing around ideas on the new setup... Any 18's out there that can take 3500 daily and sound good in around 4-5cuft?

this would most likely go in a ford fusion and i love to listen to chopped and screwed music (im bumpin some real talk by trae chopped up right now ) so i obviously like it low.Ive made some previous post about 2 BL's with a mtx 92001 but now that im seeing the icons in all these crazy setup im thinkin i want a pair!! the videos are blowin my mind, my budget is no more then 2000 grand for everything, and i know the BL set up will be more unless i buy everything used but i really dont like doin that.So what setup will MOST likely get lower/louder (loud to me is having bass that is head pounding in ur face bass ) but i also love btutal low end bass. So what do you think wil…

Searching through my local craigslist and stumbled upon a TW5 13.5 for $75. It however has a large crack in what I believe to be the dust cap? I've just never seen a dust cap made out of a material like the one I'm looking at which arises my suspicion as to whether or not it is actually a dust cap. Through my googling, I read that re-coning JL audio woofers is strictly done by JL audio. If this is just a dust cap issue, I can fix this myself correct? I've heard of people using epoxy/silicone for this process. Obviously I would like to fix the crack in the woofer and use it. Is this as easily fixable as I suspect? Thanks for your time! Here's a photo to explain more in de…

What difference if any does the width of the port make? I understand the tuning and freq changes and all that but lets says you have 2 boxes size and build appropriate for 33 hrz. for 2 12's, if you could build the box with a 2 in wide square port, a 3 in flared port, or what is the down size to using a smaller port area say a 2 in round or a 1 in wide sq port. I realize that it would reduce air flow, but if you have the box built and the port tuned properly does it really matter?

Which sub is better?

Vehicle is a '07 Nissan Maxima. Looking for some low end, and I'm workin with 4-4.5 ft^3. Last system was a pair of 12W7s on about 1250 watts. I listen to mostly rap. My goal is output greater than or equal to what I had. I'm not going for a SQ system, but I would like it to be relatively accurate. Amp will be Sundown 1K or 1.5K. Any suggestions?

My homie thinks that two 200rms MTX thunders sound better than one 600rms sa12 What do y'all think? I'm pretty sure one SA12 sounds better because it will have 600rms of power to it compared to the mtxs with 400rms of power to them. Which do you think will sound better musically? The mtxs will be sealed and the sa12 ported and both powered by true rms power and same vehicle say a 99 honda civic same electrical and everything, which would sound better? Im gona go with the sa12 because mtxs aren't that good of subs and the sa12 is very good. Determining an answer will determine his decision on what to pick for his system. Two 12" MTX thunders on 400rms sealed Or One 12" …

I am wondering if I can recone a ssa zcon with sundown zv4 softparts or any other good brands suggestions?

Hello everybody. I'm trying to build a small, powerful setup in my 2016 Silverado doublecab. I want to run 1 woofer. Breaking it in on ~2400 rms, then linking another amp going to 4800 once I finish the electrical. I'd like some clean sounding air movement. Not super into high notes, but I'd like to be able to hit the full range and then go down low with extreme authority. I'm looking to run this sub in a ported box as big as I can in the space I have, 2 cubes or less. Open to aeroporting. I've always ran single 15s but with the space constraints I'm open to moving down to 10 or 12. Interested in a nightshade nsv4 but can't decide/don't have the knowledge or experience to…

hello everyone i was wondering if any of you may know of any good sites online that sell just the mid bass drivers in 4 " i have a nice pair of tweeters up front but i wanna change my door speakers that came with the car to some mid bass drivers. it seems the car came with component set speakers stock but who ever own the car before took them out and replace the door speakers with 2 way speakers and upgrade the tweeters and i would like something with a lil bass in my car so it wont be so flat.
