Subwoofers / Speakers

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.

Which sub will perform better: RE Audio SRX Electrical Q Value -Qes: 0.45 Mechanical Q Value -Qms: 4.87 Total Speaker Q Value -Qts: 0.41 Free Air Resonance -Fs: 23 Hz Equivalent Compliance -Vas: 203 liters One-Way, Linear Excursion -Xmax: 18 mm Efficiency -SPL 1W/1m: 87.6 dB SPL Effective Piston Area -Sd: 810 cm^2 DC Resistance -Re: 1.8 ohm Nominal Impedance -Znom: Dual 4 ohm Thermal Power Handling -Pe: 300 W Force Factor -Bl: 14.35 IA 187 In the same order as above: Qes: 0.85 Qms: 4.76 Qts: .72 Fs: 35hz Vas: 105l Xmax: 22mm peak to peak Spl: 89.2db Sd: 800 DC Re: ?? Impedance: dual 4 Thermal power: 300w rms Bl: 17tm

whats up ssa, alright so i see the new zcon line is going into production soon . Right now im running a 12" bl on a aq2200 @ 2ohms. Im thinking of upgrading to something with a more ouput and more sound quality because the bl's just dont have that warm deep solid sound that im looking for. Also honestly it just doesnt get loud enough for me. So i see the new zcons and there looking pretty damn good and from what little iv read about them they are sounding like something iv been looking for for a while. So my question to you knowledgable people is do you think with that 2250 watts will it get louder then the 12" bl, i know its not a spl speaker and thats fine but its gotta…

Hello all, Brief run down 1999 Corvette with a custom box i made a few years ago Corvette box Well after 8 years of service my JL 10w3-4(dvc) (original ones) finally is giving out. I was doing some reading on a few forums and came accross the dcon as a great preformer for the money. However with my box im very limited on options. I need to know the width of the magnet, also if anyone has a picture of maybe the speaker with a measuring tape down so i can see where the basket protrudes. I have an ancient sony xplod amp 360rms @ 4ohms, not looking to build another box just want to drop in another sub and play. According to the instructions i followed on the build of t…

Looking to see what sub would be better for spl daily driver or if u have a better choice for 2-12s around the same price ? can run either a mtx81000d or a ovn1-2000d have 1.5 cubic ft for each sub tuned to 34hz subzero elv series box but im willing to make something else if i have to Dont think my JL w3v2d2's are long for this world with 900rms going to them right now

Is there a 1000w sub that is all around better then the Fi Bl in its price range? Post anything you may have had experience that you think would beat it in output and sound quality. This is just to see whats in my league or better.

Ok so i had went to the meca show here in my town of bakersfield on saturday and wow!!! There had to of been over 200 show cars there and all of flex issues rides. The food was good, the ladies were lookin good, and the Dc audio was slammin!! Iv never heard dc before this and i had always wondered what the fuss was about but now i know. There was a suv there with 4 18s doin 155 and at the end of his run he had shaddered his windshield completely!! Then a little crx with 2 12" dc xls puttin in work like no other. All together it was an amazing show and i Had lots of fun.

I just bought a 15" FI BLT sub from a buddy, and was playing it in my tahoe today when the tahoe filled with some and noticed the sub was on fire..... we put it out with a water hose before it burned anything else my question is will recone fix it? or is there more that has to be done?? :-(

I want to buy two 18" ZCONS but don't know how good they are. Can anyone tell me how good they are? I know their brand new but does anyone know anyone that has had experience with them because I dont like to be the first to give a review on things. Is is mostly SQ or SPL? Im not doing this for competition its just daily driver with extra bump! thanks

Like I said, I change my plans and I want to know if a 2.5cuft ported box tuned to 35hz is a good box for a single 12' dcon. Too big, or ok box? Tuned too high? I'm going to send it 400wrms.

I was wondering what people thought about subs facing upward in a sedan trunk. I'm planning on getting a 12" icon but I wouldn't mind having the 15". Problem is that I don't think the trunk in my 97 corolla would be tall enough having the sub standing up. It would be going in a sealed box. I feel like there would be more trunk rattle if I laid the sub down. I see videos where the sub is literally firing into the trunk from an inch away. Would lying the sub make it harder to hear in the front of the car? It seems like there would be a greater chance for cancellation or the sound waves would just get bunched up between the trunk and cone. Separate question but i've always b…

I have had my cut out cones sitting outside since last year, out in the rain snow and sun, and the only thing that has happened to them is the cones on a few have turned white. The paper cones are still solid, foam surrounds are all good, glue holding them turned white but not loose one bit. The coils havent rusted, the coil glue hasnt let loose... they are just the same as when I cut them off other than bleeched. I have been impressed every time I look at them, so the other day I was having fun and displayed them on my porch. It stormed hard last night so I went out into the dumping rain and snapped some pics. I think drivers have come a long way over the years, as ever…

Small enclosures and small cabin area. I'm thinking about buying a truck like a ford ranger extended cab or a chevy colorado extended cab and I want to know what sub works best in conditions like small area I don't want to wall out my backseats but I'm willing to take them out to get best effiwncy out of my sub I know the nightshade works good in small enclosures but what else does? Thanks.

so who wins ?? 18" Fi BTL (2000wrms) or 18" SSA ZCON (2250 wrms)

I'm trying to make a descision between these 2 subs. I plan on running only 1, off of 1500 watts rms. I can make any electrical upgrades that are necessary. I drive a Dodge Ram 1500 Quad-Cab, so space is somewhat of an issue. I currently have a box with 2 12's taking up 2 of my back seats, and would like to try and free up some more space. I have heard that the Sundowns do well in smaller enclosures. My main goal is to hit lows, get loud, and sound smooth. I listen to rap/hip hop and Chopped and Screwed music. Any personal experience with either of these subs is appreciated.

I have 400$ (budget for buy a subwoofer) ive been looking/shopping for a nice big ""SQL"" subwoofer who can sing music at low frecv. I`m interested to hit low (28-30Hz). I listen rap - dub step music, my car is 4 door hatchback. HU is alpine 9831, amplifier will be HFi2000D. I have a second batteries and 0awg cable. Someone recommended me: TC Sounds LMS-R 15 SSA XCON 15 or 18 FI BTL I have not heard any version. I`m from europe and i want to buy it from USA. I also want your recommendations to buy best solution. Thanks.

What are some of the 18" drivers with the lowest Le? Does it even matter?

I'm about to upgrade my subwoofer wire to 8 ga. from 14 ga. I think I know its real real small, but anyway when upgrading so I need to run the 8 ga. to connect the voicecoils also? I know I have to run the wire from the subs to amp but not sure about the voicecoils

Hi guys, I'm from Puerto Rico so my english is not that good, but I want to try to communicate with all of you. I know this questions is ask sooo many times. But I want to know your opinion on this. My car is a 1994 Corolla, the amp is a Soundtream Rubicon 400.1 mono, and the sub would be in a .75 birch ported box, about 2.89cuft including port area and tune to about 38hz and I listen to a lot of hip-hop, electronica, and rock(not at high volumes). The 15" subs I been looking are: Mmats P2.0, IA 187, Treo Tsx and Mtx TR75. All of them dvc 4ohms. I want the best ""SQL"" possible because I know that with just 400rms I'm not going to reach high SPL. I want …

I got rid of the last 3 i owned due to numerous issues i've had with them. My first car was a civic, and well, i've always wanted a blue SI. I found this one a couple states away fs for 6k. Tons of mods, decent mileage, and extremely good on gas, so i said why not? Pic from a meet a month before i took ownership It's pretty much perfect exterior wise. Just needs a rear lip and darker tint. Doing some measurements, i have about 5 1/2 cubes available for a sub box. Here are my options 3 12" xcons sealed. This would be the cheapest of the 3 since i already have 2 1 15" aa smd. Not sure how much one of these will cost me, I've heard from 800 to a 1k? 2 12" zcons What w…

I am going to be ordering a 10" FI Q in the next couple of days. It will be going in a sealed box with .57 cu. ft. or airspace after displacement. I will probably be running it with an older Memphis 1000d I have laying around. I know I need to add the high QTS option to it, but should I add the cooling option as well? This may actually be a stupid question but does the cooling option add any length to the mounting depth? My box is only 7" deep so I dont have any room to play with being that the mounting depth for the Q is already 6.5". Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everybody! I was just is there a diferrence in power handling between a vented enclosure and a sealed enclosure. I just purchased a DC Audio Level 3 15 with the Level 4 coil option, dual 1 ohm. I'm running a Hifonics HFI 1500d @ 2 ohms 1000rms. I was going to use a 2.25^3 ft. enclosure in a Nissan Altima or could I get away with running that much power in a vented enclosure on the sub? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so I *finally* got my Bravox order. The part shipped via UPS got here quick. The USPS part... not so much. I was getting worried cause they were 4 days past due but they showed up today. Besides, I'm not in a big hurry so no worries. Now for the really important part. I see the midrange and the tweeter are pre-mounted in their respective housings with the really nice aluminum trim rings, etc. But.... how do these babies come apart? Do they come apart? They have to come apart otherwise I am screwed. The plan is to mount the tweeters in the factory locations in the mirror trim pods and the midranges next to the midbass drivers in the door. This will NOT work if I can'…

alright guys so iv decided i wont be getting a zcon because i just wont have the electrical for it. what i have is 1200 watts that my eletrical can handle at ease. Im going to sell my bl to fund my next build. Im thinking of instead of getting just 1 sub id like to get 2 12" subs that do around 1200 watts conbined so around 600 each. im trying to get the loudest i can off of 1200 watts pretty much. I was thinking of either 2 ssd, 2 sa12 or 2 w7 but would take alot of saving up lol. I absolutly loved how my 1 12w7 sounded the real deep rich lows with rumble. I see the icon doesnt come in a 12" but id consider it if it did since there about 600 watts each. Or if you guys ha…

hello to all. as some of u know, i was on here about 4 months ago looking for opinions on a sub. well i went with a 2011 kicker l7 15 in a 5cf ported box and i must say it was LOUDDDD. but then the SQ started getting to me. so i found a orion hcca 12.2 on my local craigslist for 375 or possible trades. i messaged him and long story short, we did a straight trade. my kicker zx1500.1 amp will not run at 1 ohm so im running the sub at 4ohms and the sub is laughing at the zx's 750watts at 4 ohms. so i need a amp thats stable at 1 ohms, atleast 1200watts (no more than 2000. stock electric here fellas) and no more than $375. fire away!!
