Subwoofers / Speakers

Ok Im looking on getting my amp for my door speakers.. I only listen to rap and NOTHING else.. I plan on using the Mach 5 Audio MLI-65 They say they are 100 rms at 4 ohm? Now the question is, Cud I wire them up into 2 ohm and just use a two channel amp ran at 2 ohms? Or shud I just buy the four channel amp and run them at 4 ohms? My amp choices that im stickign with are.. Rockford Fosgate T4004 Does 50 x 4 @ 4 ohms and its under rated.. Or.. Rockford Fosgate T3002 Does 100 x 2 @ 2 ohms and its under rated.. Not sure which to choose.. And are those Mach 5 Audio speakers straight speakers to run? And other suggestions im open to but Im sticking to Rockford Fosgate for the …

hey guys i'll be ordering my 15 mag shortly and was just wondering how this sub will cmpare to my old 16ov2 and e15a.I am looking for a good sounding sub that will get loud and easily handle my crossfire vr1000d(1000 rms at 12.5 volts).Any help is appreciated.

I have a 4.1 cubic foot box with a IA DR 15 in it with a round port. It's tuned to 30hz with a 4" diameter and a 10" long tube that come out to 12.5 "sq area. I have not listened to it yet, but is this enough port area? Will it hurt the sub?

Well, I just found out today that I'm gettin an '02 Dodge Dakota quad cab for graduation After doing a little searching, there are very few possibilities of having a sub in the truck and not losing any seating space in the rear of the cab (well actually only one - MTX thunderform, but I definitely don't like the looks of it). So I plan to but a small sealed box in the middle of the floor in the rear, on the transmission hump. My question: does anyone have any experience with subs in trucks (mine in particular) and if there is any major difference in sound/output between up-firing, down-firing, forward, ect... I have read that downfiring is the way to go for sealed an…

I changed amps on my Front stage recently and it sounds like absolute garbage now. I went from ~100wrms to over 200 on tap (not sure if I'm using all of it) and it's sooooo muddy now. I thought the amp was distorting so I turned the gain down til it sounded decent but it's way quieter than.before. I had to turn my high pass up to about 100hz (from 80, but I partially expected this) and aim the tweeters at the floor to get it to sound acceptable. To top it off...it isn't even louder. I'm under the assumption that my drivers can't handle the power but other than that I'm stumped.

Ran across a website that makes speaker pods for my vehicle. (03 Tahoe) http://www.customspeakerpods.com/Front-Door-Speaker-Pods-for-65-Speakers-GM-01-01-01-A.htm Has anyone used these? Price isn't bad at all. The different aiming of the speaker may be a plus. Opinions, comments?

ok, going to build a box for my ID8s. going to angle the back to sit flush to my back seat to help save space instead of making a plain square/rectangle shape. problem comes with the port. I attached a real crude drawing I did in paint, the small diagrams are how I think you are supposed to measure port length when the back wall of the box is plumb just like the front of the box. the large one is the way I am guessing you would measure port length when they arent, if its even doable. red is interior port wall blue is point at which I figure Id measure port length. so, whats the verdict?

In my case, my big toe found out that a new 45kg bass box, designed by myself but built by Baz V, is a heavy b@stard. In 11 years of the audio game, I have never let anyone near my box building for my own car,, then I got lazy and moved on. Then Baz V came to my attention and I decided to put my money where my mouth is and let him build me a box,, seriously good move,, several weeks later, one mighty Triple Chamber Reflex Box design later and with the help of Andrew J we have two sexy Stereo Integrity Magnum D2 12inch babes in a lush box that fits like a glove into my car. Could I ever move away from the nine year old Emmy

I am looking for 2 LSQ subwoofers... Amplifier power: 2x strapped SAZ-1500D Minimum ohmage would be somewhere around 2 ohms. So the subwoofers will get approx. 1500W RMS each. I will be running them sealed, I do not like the ported sound. I used to own 2 RE XXX subwoofers (the first generation) and I really loved them. Unfortunately I had to sell them. But now I am back and want something similar in return. So can anyone give me good advice? [edit typos] Cannot edit my typos... I meant of course: S Q L subwoofers...

What amps do you guys use when you need 6 channels of power for this set of speakers? Or do you mostly break it up with a 4 channel and a 2 channel amp?

im planing on putting 2 icon 15's in the back of my explorer... what kinda mids and highs would i need to keep up with the bass? i've only done like small setups before so im not sure what kinda speakers i need, i dont have much of a price range, just wanna make sure my money is spent well and not something crappy. i wanna run them to a sundown 100.4. and suggestions? (btw all the door speakers are 6x8's) thank you for the help

4 8" sa-8 on a 2ft^3 tuned to 32hz on 1500 watts or 2 10" aa chaos in 2ft^3 tuned to 32 on 1500, Just want to know if it is worth to buy 8s

alright, the system in my fiances car is just a RF punch P2 in a ported box ( I built it a while ago, I think its something in the neighborhood of 2.5 ft^3 tuned to ~30HZ???) and it is powered by a RF 300.1 amp. the sub is a 4 ohm sub though, and the system is decent, but I am thinking of selling the P2 on ebay or something and get a different sub for around 60-70 bucks that delivers a 2 ohm load to get the most out of the amp. heres the 5 I am looking at now, and the prices. I am open to others also. what would you pick and why? Diamond Audio D1 12D4 60.00 RE Audio REX12D4 65.00 Orion C2-124 74.00 eD 13kv.2D4 (depends on th…

Long time no see guys! I have a 2019 f250 king ranch and ready to do a system. I bought 2 12" kicker comprt subs I was going to use in a u carseat enclosure but iv recently been leaning more twords 6 6.5" subs in a forward facing box. I'm thinking of going with the skar evl 6.5s but cant find much info on them of other ppl who have used them. Will they have a decent amount of output? Will have to be a sealed enclosure due to only having 1.7 cubes total to play with

Ok well i extended the end date to the middle of Feb. All orders must be in by Feb 15th. I have so far 8 drivers of the 6.5s.

how do the mayhems compare to a BTL. and does anyone have pricing for a 18 inch mayhem

ok I want to upgrade my system. I'm either going for 2 fi sp4 18" in a big ported box or 8 sundown sa15 in a forth order. I know they're really different systems but what would you choose??? (not planning to compete, just a daily groundpounder) thanks for the advice

Could someone help me out with the baseline settings to start with when running active. This is my first active set-up and all of the settings are beginning to overwhelm me. I have a somewhat understanding, but was wondering if someone could help me get in the right direction. Vehicle: Ford Explorer Headunit: Pioneer Premier 800PRS Subwoofer Amp: Orion 2500D Subwoofer: Two 12

so i bought a re se 10 about a year ago. i bought it from dealer cost audio or whatever. either way ive heard of problems from this site after i ordered. so i installed it friday for the first time. everything was hooked up correctly. triple checked before making it final. i turned on my hu, turned up the volume to just get the sub moving. after about an hour i turned it up a little more, went to the cargo area to check and i noticed this little paper ruslting sound. after a few more hours i turned the volume up more and the sound was more prominent. now its just annoying. i cant really hear it from the front. but its noticable from the back. as volume goes up it gets wor…

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.

I have some peerless sls 10's I wanted to use for midbass in my next three way set up. But there is no way they are going into the doors of my car like I wanted. If I had power windows it would be no problem because the shaft for the window handle would not be in my way. So, instead I came up with an Idea to do some large kick pods that open up into a shallow false floor up front. Which brings us to my question????? Has anyone else heard of and or done something this drastic to get the proper air space for their speakers up front??? If so...Is it even worth it?? Thanks in advanced

Ok, so I already have two 12" Alpine Type R's. I am deciding that it is about time to finally upgrade the sound system. These are the three plans I am coming up with: 1) Buy two more Type R's and another amp, and run four twelves. 2) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two more powerful 12's and a new amp. 3) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two 15's and a new amp. This is all in a 1993 Range Rover LWB.

What effect does it have when wiring the tweeters out of phase? I've heard that it can be another tuning aid, but not sure what it does, or is supposed to do to the soundstage or sound of the tweeter. Will it make them more laid back? Make them distort easier or affect power handling in any way? I ask because I want to make sure if I try it that I don't do more harm then good, so any caveats are appreciated. Searched online and didn't find any useful info, but figured some of the more experienced here might share.
