Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey all.I know im going to get hammered with "your a noob" and crap like that but I need to know something.Im pretty limited on space in the trunk of my 2001 galant.I need room for a box,batteries,ect and im trying to figure out which route i need to go.Right now I have sitting in my backseat 2 15" american bass xfl subs.I want to get a box built for them for my trunk but everyone on here and elsewhere seems to think the box would be to small for them.SO, I am wondering if I could get a single 15" Fi BTL N3 and get a box built to specs for the sub and be as loud as the 2 american bass xfls in a small box. My goal is to be loud on music and I have a 220amp HO alt and im ru…

So im deciding on doing 3 10's here soon most likely the sa-10's. I was searching sonicelectronis just for laughs and came across these!! http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27313_RE-Audio-SEX10D2.html So what do you guys think would have more output the sa-10s or these re seX 10's?? They look pretty beefy but looks arnt never anything lol.

Just looking to get some opinions on layout options for my triple 15" Dcon box. Vehicle: 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4-door Box A: 10ft^3 at 32hz Box B: 10ft^3 at 30hz

My subs been "rattling" for a bit and finally went back there to listen to it and it sounds like this: http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/193/sdm.mp4/ Obviously it was playing at low volume, and I held the cam so close because I wasn't sure if my phone could pick it up as well as it did lol. Does it need a re-cone already or what? Ive had it for about a month, maybe less.

Well Ive Gotten used to my system already which is 2 HDC D1 15s...I wanna do 4 12s now (anything but Kicker) Any Recommendations??

Alright guys so iv got ideas floating around in my head that i cant just ignore. My first idea was selling my 12" bl and getting a 15" zcon for my civic, but then iv been thinking and im curious as to how cool it would be to have 3 10" smaller powered subs facing up and porting back in the trunk. Maybe like 3 12" dcons or fi x's. Would 3 10's off around 1200 watts be louder then my 1 12 off the same power? its almost triple the cone area and would be so cool to pop the trunk to 3 dcons or something simular haha . Or would i just be better off going with 1 15" zcon on about 2200 wats, if i did that then i would need a bigger alt bigger wire and so forth. How much louder if…

Hey everyone thanks for having me. So I am rebuilding my substage after blowing one of my ID 10s last week, which I had 2 of in a sealed enclosure with .6ft^3 each...and it was "lacking" to say the least. I have a 2005 F150 Supercab and I'm pretty limited to what I can put under the back seat. In getting back into car audio after over a decade, I am blown away by the kind of output todays subs are capable of, even from single driver systems. In talking to custom enclosure guys, it seems I'm pretty maxed out at around 2ft^3 which I'm thinking will be around 1.75ft^3 after port displacement (tuned into the low 30's) I'm looking for something that will have fairly signific…

hello, i have a good question here lol. i have 1 12" orion hcca (the older silver cone style) and was wondering, if it somehow blew, how would i re-cone it? will the new style hcca re-cone kit work? i wanted to e-mail orion but when i went to contact them, alls i got was a bunch of stuff about how i need to sign into this other website..... so i figured id ask incase on of you knew. any info would be appreciated

Dont know if any of you have heard of Rival Sub woofers but the guy who designed these subs I think has done a good job. He has his own car audio shop Rival Mobil Electronics about 40 miles from me and I have had the opportunity to hear a few vehicles that have these Rival sub woofers in them and they are performers. Here is a few vids of the vehicles. This vid he has more power 7200rms clamped. Now for the s-10 which is a sweet build on two 12" Rivals And the Owner's name is Bill and he has a pretty loud jeep with 4 12" Rivals in a wall that has done over 156db this vid has a good view of the subs. Here is his 155.2db score was not his higest

Ok so here is my question. I am reconing my sub. My friend has leftover glue from his recone. He ordered this glue from Fi and it came with a bottle of activator. He gave me this glue for my recone and I need to know if its okay to use with out the activator. i placed a bead of it to dry and it hardened up, Do I really need it to complete my recone process. If not I have a tube of Goop that I want to use for the repair, I was told its okay to use it for the recone. If there is anything else that I can get locally please let me know. I did google to find out any info but couldnt find it. Thanks in advance.

In a thread i started earlier i said i was looking to get an icon for my subs, but now that im very close to having the money to have the system put in im starting to lean towards the kicker comp vt for my subs. I was wondering if anybody had any expirence with these subs and if they are worth the money. If i got them i would get 2 twelves and a kicker dx 1000.1 to run them and they will be going behind the back seat of my single cab ford pickup.

Alright... so currently I have a shitty front stage since I was not looking to go "crazy" with the audio... that plan did not stay.. I went from some old school JL audio 10" w3's to a Pioneer Premiere 12" and then to a 12" SSA Icon and now I currently have a 15" SSA Xcon sealed enclosure... so far I love the sound... My front stage consisted of just Alpine 6x9 for a while and then I added some Polk Audio tweets in the dash... Not having alot of options on the EQ side I think I damaged a tweet which is whatever I don't care... I didn't have the right amps to do this setup and that is probably how I did that.. I was using a BA GT2-125 and no separate xover so I know the twe…

What are these worth anymore gentlemen? These are mine that came with the truck I bought.. the model99 zed amps above have already been sold... trying to sell the subs now.

just wondering if anyone has had experience with the Cadence DCW15RCV they sell for $959 a sub, and i have a chance to get them cheap.. just never heard or seen them before...

Just looking through some websites dreaming about a future midbass/fullrange setup and happened across these speakers http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=297-210 I was just curious if anyone has any experience/opinions on these and if they would be realistic in a SQ type setup. Chances are I won't be upgrading my system any time soon but these caught my eye and at 12 bucks, I might order some just for the heck of it. Thoughts? Alex

I'm looking into the IA 187, I know it can handle the lows well but how about higher frequencies? I'm looking for a sub that can handle midbass well since I listen to mostly rock music. I'm looking to hear from ppl who have personally heard the sub. Thanks

Man just got a design from Ryan at ram designs. All I have to say is design looks awesome. Ryan was a great Guy to deal with fast responses was miss communication on first design and he got me another design within a few hours. Great Guy and good customer service would happily do business with again. John T

What would you rather do? 6 cheapish 12's in a sealed box or 1 awesome 18 in a decently big ported box? Both would be on the same power (2500 rms) But 6 12's has alot more cone area but a sealed box. 18 has less cone area but a ported box 18 would be a bit cheaper and better quality. But 6 12's have more cone area lol. So what do you guys think? If you have any other suggestions, I have up to 8 cubic feet before displacements. Have 2500 rms. Thinking bout running the Zcon or something similar for the 18. The 12's would be infinitys

So on the combo for the 15'' nightshade with the 1500d, it sais "Item not available", but on the sub and amp individually its in stock or 'allow 1-2 week build time'. so are the nightshades available for order? or just not the combo? whats the deal because im looking to buy in the next couple days. Thanks

I know PA mofo's aren't all that. But guy at work has one supposedly barely used that I can get for 40 bucks til I can swing my Zcon. Think I should pick it up or just pass? It's a 12 BTW.

Hey guys, I am starting to save up some money to put into a system for my car and I am trying to decide on subs. Ive never had a big power setup before but I wanted to take a shot at it. My car is a 2002 hyundai XG350L. I want to do the setup to either have the port going thorugh a skipass or ported through the rear deck. I want to seal the box from the trunk to maximize potential. My original thoughts were to go with 2 12" xcons. But now that I've been starting to shop around im thinking that a single 15 might work better. Im really having a tough time deciding because 12's and a single 15" xcon would both be good setups. I know that there is a major power difference bet…

As my title reads, im putting subs in my 1965 mustang. im not doing anything big like my truck (12" orion hcca) i just want a little something. i was thinking about 2 10" kicker cvr's or 1 15 of something but idk what.IM NOT SPENDING MORE THAN 150 ON SUBS! i have a kicker zr240 (TRUE 500 watts) to push whatever i get. any ideas????? Thanks

what model is this FI? it says "15 BTL D2 PW PC" written on the magnet with a sharpie, im guessing thats from the builder? but i had someone tell me this is not a BTL, i need this cleared up since im selling it, and i dont wanna misrepresent what it is.. thanks

which would be best for a daily driver? sa12's or ssa12's? i hear nothing but good things about both, just not sure which is more reliable in the long haul

what to know what people think about the e8's. I would like to keep a lower wattage system. I did see a video that someone did a 149db on one of them.
