Subwoofers / Speakers

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.

BTL for the win!!!

Yep, just as the topic states. Post the results here.

So I just finished up my box today, upon installing the subs in the box I slipped with the drill and punctured the surround. It's a decent sized slit, maybe 3/4 to an inch; it runs diagonal. The subs are Fi SSDs with foam surrounds. I've been searching google for a bit now for the best advesive to use and keep seeing amazing goop and rtv silicone being suggested. Which is better? Would some type of epoxy work? And should I put a piece of fabric or duct tape on the back the slit, with whichever adhesive/ sealer?

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?

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

i called the office.. and WOW... what a huge problem. 33 bucks for shipping if I SEND THE SUB TO ATOMIC to be reconed.... 31 bucks just for shipping if atomic mails me the soft parts so i can recone the sub my self.... then of course the soft parts alone are 50 bucks... so 83 bucks for ME TO RECONE a 100 dollar sub... sadly this is the end of the line for me and atomic audio. o yeah.. and the glue failed that hold the former to the spider... i ask what kinda glue they use... he told me its different special glue... and he does not know the name of it... and on the bottle it only reads "speaker glue" so its special "speaker glue" that no one else uses. and no one has ever …

alright, so i went back to the drawing board and got rid of the stuff i already bought. i have since purchased 2 new sets of Pioneer Tweets that come with the stage 4 system and i am thinking about getting these mids to mate up with them. i will be running them active with an Alpine INE-S920HD with the Imprint processor. what do you guys think about this set? i really liked how the tweeters sounded thats why i bought them.

Hello all. Like the new front page Very nice Had a little test at the Talk Audio Guildford Meet on Sunday. With my Vectras rushed boot install. Sorry this is one of my worst ever installs. I`m ashamed to show it. But it is loud!!! Yes that`s an Orion 5000d running @ a 1ohm load to those two 12" Baby Mags. Here are the scores: Peak Freeq = 142.3dB @ 20Hz 40 Hz= 141.4dB 33 Hz= 141.5dB 25 Hz= 141.4dB 20 Hz= 142.3dB Total Average score = 141.7dB Very Happy with those scores :earmuffs: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the Escort. I`ve another 15" Mag on it`s way to me Thanks to Nick …

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.

Anyone seen it?? i like the new content, very simple and informative. The subs they offering are super sexy as well . www.tcsounds.com

Okay so i'm designing my box for the 2nd Gcon 15'' and i'm thinking about going with 10^3ft box and i wanna know what a recommended tuning for it would be and how i would measure the port hole. Recommended was between 28-33hz and the recommended optimal ported was 4.00-6.00ft cubed per sub. let me know

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.

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?

Show the video of 4 Zcon 18's on Facebook....NICE!. When are they expected to be released for sale?

Look what i have to play with next season Finding images of the SPL15 on the internet is hard so i decided to spam up the forum with these, all i can say is that it is one serious driver, very heavy, great build quality, very stiff, i cannot wait to get this thing up and running. Im currently getting the wood cut now but the box will be 4.2cubes tuned at 38Hz with 80 inches of port. It should hammer

Hello, I recently set out to upgrade my 2015 F-150 xlt with left over parts from my dad's truck after he passed. Well, long story short, half way through the process I realized all of his stuff was crap, or super old. I currently have Alpine Type R 6x9's in the front, and Type R 6.5 coaxials in the rear door, with a Alpine PDX F6 powering those, and I have 2 12" Orion subs from the 90's 400 watt rms, with an Alpine PDX 1000.1 powering them in a sealed down firing box under my rear seats. The box has 1.32 total cu ft. and are 5-1/4" mounting depth. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TOTRB0K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 …

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.

my 2 dbx's wired @ .5ohm. playing a couple sweeps i uploaded it to google too, so as soon as its up i'll post a NON-COMPRESSED link http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...dbextreme.2.wmv

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.

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…

Just wondering how the soundqubed HDS315's hold up. I'm thinkin about running 4 of them in my 96 Tahoe. The box I'm planning to use is 48x44x15, port is 13.5h x 13w x 20l for a 32.42 hz tuning at 14.61 sq in per cube of port final volume is 12.01 cubes. Haven't decide what amp or amps I want to use yet, any suggestions under $1000?

I just came across two of these for a reasonable price. I've heard their amps but not their subs. Can anyone give me any personal or other feedback on this sub? Thanks
