Subwoofers / Speakers

Okay, so I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with installs on a toyota prius. I've researched a little bit and can't find all that much. I'm looking to maybe get two SSA GCON 12s. And I'd like to get around a 1300 watt amp to power them. But I'm not sure how much a Prius can handle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi ! Yesterday I received my 12" FI BTL N2. First thing first : the box was really heavy. They saiys Neodym would make the sub lighter, but I think it's heavier than a 15" Xcon !!! (I may be wrong, but it's 20 Kg). This sub seems small to me. I've been running only 15" subs for years now : S15 L7 kicker (in my car for now), Impact car audio 67 series, SSA Icon, SSA, Xcon. Maybe that's why I found this 12" so small !!!! Small and heavy ! I could not take pics because my new phone (BB curve 9300) doesn't have any light/flash for night pics. I was surprised to see how this thing looks like it was made by ...hands and not by machines on an automatic assembly line! You can see…

Showed off the 302s to a friend who is running an entirely Alpine Type-R setup. He was quite impressed... I believe his exact words were, "Wow, now that is clarity." His Type-R components sound pretty good, don't get me wrong, but they most definatly weren't equal to the 302s -- and he agreed with that no arguments. The Type-R tweeter sounded somewhat shrill in comparison and the midbass capability wasn't anywhere near the 302s. And, of course, since he had no EQ you could sense the mids rolling off in his car, where that wouldn't be happening with the 302 midrange. Steven, I need to track you down sometime you can take a listen -- you might end up wanting a set!

I just bought a dcon 12 I'm putting in a 1.75 sealed box with 400w rms I know they hold up strong in the sq department but how about spl?? Will it be loud in a xtracab tacoma?

why are there no more MJ-18's on www.mach5audio.com they have the maw-10's maw-12 maw-15 the IXL and the MLI-65 but no mj's? no pics no nothing? did mark stop making them? what's up?

I'm been looking for a 1 15" sub dvc 4 ohms that require a small ported box. My ported box is well constructed and I don't want it to throw it away. Is a 2.89cu.ft .75 Birch slot ported. I only have 400w rms for it. Any suggestions?

I'm building a midgate box for my avalanche and I'm looking for a good "SQL" Sub. The box is 3.8 net after port tuned to 31hz with roughly 38 sq in port (3-4" PVC 24" long). I'm going to go with a dual 12" set up or a single 15". Looking at 12" Dcons or Gcons if the box size will work or 1-15" Icon. Sub(s) will face the seat and port will be in the bed. Going to run a BRX1600 or BRX2000 depending on which sub. 60/40 on sq vs spl. Need some opinions. Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a 15" sub that can fit in a smaller box than an IDQ15" (1.25cuft gross) Thanks Kelvin

I am making my first attempts at subwoofer building. I never reconed or built a subwoofer so I am learning as I go. Top priority for these subs is to have a low qts since I plan on using these with passive radiators. Suspension compliance is really a stab in the dark at best. The motors I am using are built by TC Sounds for Lightning Audio. They have a cool neodymium slug and a huge top and bottom plate. The baskets and cones are made by TC Sounds as well. The baskets accommodate six hole mounting points. I needed to drill mounting locations for the four hole motors. I sent the baskets out to be powder coated. I should have them back in the next co…

Heheh. Check these out: And that's a quarter on my friend Jake's leg as a reference.

Would this be a decent system for a not so high budget. I listen to hip hop music n LOVE alot of bass. my friend has a 10" T1 with a kicker amp that goes up to 1300 watts. how would the sytem n the link compare to my friends? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...T&viewitem=

Incriminator Audio Death Row or Fi Q. Looking for powerful lows, solid high end. Basically an all around sub that dominates the low end. Planning on running 2 12"s ported? Thanks for the input.

I was needing you guys help on finding a good pair of 6.5s for a budget of about 150 dollars.. All answers would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok so im thinking about cuting holes in my door panel for my 6.5s Apline type R's So i can show the grills instead of leavingthem in the factory spot (08 Pont G6) . i plan on using a hole saw, would there be a better tool for that instead? and if i do that then i think the sound and performance of them will og down without some type of addend or extra install to go with them, especially with that small space between the door panel and the factory location, what could i do to ensure the SQ of them and performance? sound deadening maybe? or what could i put to fill that gap and etc.

Right there ... oh yeah. Will be running ~ 1000 watts. I'll make the enclosure fairly large - can always take away airspace if need be. It'll be sealed this time around (no way I'm going to try and figure out a port), question remains ... how big ? - Steve

I am just curious what people use directly behind the mid in their doors. Anything other then extra layers of sound deadener?

hello again. i found a slightly used IA flatlyne 15 for sale for $150. im wondering if i should buy this one and buy one more or just get the fi ssd's. what yall think????

I decided to go with 2 12" SI Mag but i have limited trunk space because i have a Civic. Does anyone think i could 2 mags in a ported box hittin to their full potetial, the box will be tuned to 32 Hz if that helps, in my Civic. Ive never built a box and im pretty new to car audio but i know someone who's gonna help me build the box.

Man, I'm impressed by the looks of this thing...I saw pictures and all, but in person is just that much better. Dig the look of the spoked basket b/c you can see a lot of the cone...just gives it a better look, IMO. Chromed motor = I'm surprised by the suspension stiffness, though...seems to me fairly soft compared to the old one? Maybe it'll make the cone move "faster"...help out transient response... It's just too bad that all I have is ~300w @ 4ohms right now...waiting on my Tantrum to arrive. Must...go...install...

I am doing single 10 setup, want some really nice SQ without doing sealed box. 1.25 net tuned to 29. Subs are similarly priced. I have owned FI Q 12 before and liked it but am intrigued by the Icon. Anyone owned both in any size?

so i traded my pair of treo te 15's dual4ohms that i have beatin within an inch of there lives for a 2 week old fosgate t2 12 dual 2ohm that aint even broke in . but i got just the sub cause he didnt wanna come off his enclosure he paid $400 for so i gotta build an enclosure. so did i make an ok trade? this beast weighs as much as both 15's did in the box

Is there a good way to fix a broken basket of a 12 zcon. . Its broke where the spokes connect to the top ring. . 4 of them are broke. But sub works perfect. . . . Really don't want to have to recone. . . Is this able to be welded? Without messing up surround or anything

I have a ia dr on prob 6 or 700 watts. The amp is a brutes 1200 soon to have big 3 and a yellow top under the hood. Space is no problem I have a 07 trailblazer. I like my 12 but I want to be louder.I was thinking about 6 12" or 6 10" skars at one ohm so prob about 200 watts to each. Would this be a good upgrade cuz I really wana try the skars out

as the title states. i like how the xxx sounds, it gets loud, but im thinkin...maybe a 12" mt on 2500w....behind the seats, i can get like 2.7 cubes ported, should be enough for 1 12" mt right? and weight, the 05xxx is like maybe what, 10 lbs less than a 12" mt? i know the xxx has better SQ, etc. but i would probably like either one, i like just straight up loud bass. heres the xxx on a power acoutik a2400db
