Subwoofers / Speakers

Is it just me or do more and more ppl just keep asking about RE Audio SE's? Is the SE that good for the price? Im not putting the SE down or anythign im just wondering..

I have more work to do, but so far I have to say the XCON is a low end beast! I built a sealed enclosure that is 1.25 cubes and have a temp amp right now which is a RF 500.1. I have some fine tuning to do, but right off the bat, I know I will be happy with this sub. Played a couple tracks from Bass 305, some Decaf, and some Lamb of God. The presence of the sub is amazing! Completely transparent and I cannot tell where the sound is coming from most of the time, which is due to the setting I have the crossover at currently. I have the crossover set a little high right now, right around 80hz. I'll start to dial it back after I mess with my comps a bit. I haven't had a sub…

Here are some pics of my first IXL18.4 sub, another one to order. The second cabinet will be stacked on the first,due to lack of space. And here the construction...

Hello all I`ve been busy today Managed to get some time to do some work on the car Here is the wall so far... For those of you who do not know the SPEC: 26.5 Cu.Ft. Wall 197 Sq In of port area. Tuned to 27Hz & can be tuned lower too. (Adjustable port blockers) 4x Stereo Integrity MAG 15" Subwoofers 1x Adassa Audio BARBARIAN amplifier Looks as though everything is going to fit nicely. Check out the Spkr cable to the Right hand side of the Plywood Amp L.O.L It`s 4awg - just because it was a nice shade of purple. (I have a thing for PURPLE) All the Spkr cables in the box are 8awg & are connected to the 4awg. I struggled today - trying to get the subs in with…

so i have been researching subwoofers for a few weeks know and have finally narrowed it down to ehiter the fosgate power 1 series 12" or the fi ssd 12" both are priced fairly. i really would like other peoples opion on these two subs thanks. also which one has a smaller mounting depth that is one of my main factors of choosing.

Are the IXL's available in a VC config that would allow two to be wired up at one ohm? I'm thinking of either a dual 10" or dual 12" setup and would have a one ohm stable amp. On that note as well, I don't see the IXL 10's on the mach5 website, only on the SSA, and I might as well order straight from Mark and not have to worry about duties.

i swear i don't see the box specs on the 187's 15" s....................thinking i can easily give up 46"W X 13.5"H X 24" D (outside dimension)..........thinking aero ports, subs up , port back, 76' cougar. could do a little more with the Width measurement but other two are pretty firm. any specs or input about enclosure, or whatever would be great. Oh, perhaps a cost effective suggestion on amp also, seen the frree box give away by audible customs, kinda like just in time. this is for lil brothers cougar, if i can get price right.

I'm putting together a budget system in a Ford F-150 I have a custom box with .69 cu feet sealed available for 2 10" subs. There is a lot of options I've been narrowing it down so far I'm leaning towards the Sundown Audio SD 10 Dual 4. I am going to be running a Class AB Mono channel amp rated at 1400 Watts RMS into 1 ohm load. There restrictions 6 Inch mounting depth 300 dollar budget looking for Dual 4 ohm subs or single 2 ohm subs (Want as much bass as possible from a 2 10" subwoofer sealed enclosure) Thanks for any help with picking the right pair of tens!

Hey everyone, Had some diamond d612's when i got out of the game. It looks as if diamond audio has fallen off the map unfortunatly, so i am having trouble finding a set of new d9's. Everyone has recommend the ssa xcon which looks to be a great sub. The reason for posting is i like for them to get loud and my wife likes for them to be accurate. Is it safe to assume the xcon can do this? I bring up diamond just because i know from experience they will do both and do them well. Any ideas or comments? They will be 2 12s running in trunk of buick regal powered by an rf-t1500bdcp per sub.

Let me word this different. What are some good 6.5" comp speakers that are a good value? Going to have 100 rms @ 4 ohms from a US Acoustics Barbara Ann amp.

I went with direct leads because the push terminals broke off & it was dangling! So I took both off. This XCon is the first generation, it is just under 5 years old. It was reconed before about 2 years ago, and just started using it. it was a bad recone job lucky I ordered 2 recone kits, Dustcap came lose first day out & it was flapping. spider came completely off later. I wanted the job done right, So I did it myself. I think I did it right. I'm proud to say I am no longer a Recone Virgin.

I currently have a Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe and am looking for a new set of component speakers to place in my doors that are $250 or less. I am going to place the tweeter very close to the speaker about 4-6 inches away and the woofer will be in the stock location. I am going to deaden the doors, at a minimum around the speakers, and I want an equal listening experience for passenger and driver so the tweets will be aimed at the center console at listening level. So in terms of off/on axis performance, I am pretty sure this is considered off axis. The woofer size for my doors is 6.5" and the tweeter size just needs to be less than 2 inches as a custom mount is going to b…

So things are happening tomorrow (Saturday August 25). Here's hoping folks can make it out. Club Regent Casino parking lot. Comp starts at noon; registration from 10:00am to noon.

As stated i just got back my 2007 Fi Bl 12 from the kid i sold it to a couple of years ago. He said it was blown so i went and picked it up. Come to find out one of the tensile leads was broken at the connector and the coils both read perfect. Coil still looks great and suspension is still pretty stiff. My questions are: 1.) Can i lengthen the tensile lead with shielded 12 gauge speaker wire? 2.)What How much would a complete recone run (psi or fi)? 3.) Once i fix it how much could i sell it for?

I am curious about the Fi subwoofers. I have never heard them in person. I was planning on getting the JL W6V2 however I see that a LOT of people own Fi subs on this board. I can see that they are cheaper but are they actually better than JL? Another sub I was looking at was the Orion HCCA 12.4. I am going for SQ mainly however there are times when I want to really rip things apart with that bass. Thanks in advance for the help

Just wondering if anyone had tried these yet? The specs seem to fit well into my plans, I've got about 450rms to play with at 4 ohms in a new project.

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

just wondering if anyone here has any results of using these in a sealed or vented enclosure???

Whats the deal with the lvl 5 subs? Anyone got any info?

In the new year, I plan on picking up 12" IXL's and powering them off an Earthquake PHD3 (3000rms @ 1 ohm). This will all be going into a trunk setup, which will be my 139.9 bassrace machine for next season. My question is, will the IXL's be able to take the power daily?

I currently have a 2005 single cab Dodge Ram 1500. I recently ordered a Sundown Audio SA-8 D4 v.1. I have a 1k Hifonics Mono Amp i was hoping to push this sub with. Im having issues getting a box design. I built my own and friends boxes but only merely guessing needed airspace and very unfamiliar with tuning. I under stand its got to do with the driver, box volume and port length and size but beyond that im a noob. From reading around I've seen that these subs need about .5-.75 cubs of box at about 30 to 40hz? My first box attempt was around .6cubs but the port was about 1"x8" and only 27" long which im almost positive is incorrect because the sub will not even do any not…

hehee... Hey Nick! no time no chat.... I think you forgot my numba anywho.... just wanted to hit up your forum and stroke your ego a lil bit.. Sean and I got the SI 12"s in the aveo this weekend.. now everybody that knows me, knows I've tested ALOT of speakers... I mean hundreds.. name it.. I've tested / owned / killed it I honestly couldn't believe how GOOD those 2 subs sound... 4.5 cuft, 33hz tune via 3 4" aero's 18" long.. IA 20.1 @ .5 ohm for power.. wow... I mean absolutely beautiful.... box in car plays within 1db from 28-44hz, -3 pt of 22hz, and 55hz on the top end... great response IMO... of course the first play was with test tones.... cause I can't s…

I am lookin to replace my current single Diamond D3 10 with a single or possibly two 12's but dont want to buy run of the mill subs (ie JL Rockford Alpine) and would like to explore other options. I will try to give as much info as i can. 1st - My current set up is - Pioneer head unit - that will be replaced also MB Quart Ref 6.25 MB Quart Onyx 4.80 Diamond D3 10 Kicker ZX1000.1 2nd - I listen to a wide range of music and perfer SQ to SPL. 3rd - Even though i have a good amount of room to use, i would prefer NOT to use the entire cargo area for a speaker box but understand i have to give to get so i am willing give up some room if needed. 4th - Budget i would like …

Im waiting on a Bl 12" and have been planning to do an underseat box for it. Im wonder if anyone has experience or insight with it tuned lower than 30hz. I really love the lows
