Subwoofers / Speakers

hi, i am looking for new speakers (i finally found someone to buy my xxx comps) and i don't want to spend more then 200 bucks and i saw the new Alpine SPX-17REF and i am wondering if anyone has any expericance with them. and also if they would take 125 rms and if they could be enough to be heard over 2 12" icons with 1500rms ported.

Hello all...my 1st post here... Just wanted to share some excitment in my audio world... I have had a little mishap with my 15 year old SUB. Orion 12D. She no longer works... So I have ordered a ICON 12" form Marc a SSA (what a great guy!!!) He suggested I go with an ICON as I wanted an XCON. I trust his opinion totally so I ordered it. Here's what my setup looks like: ... This of course is my car... The trunk liner removed The spare and accessories now gone... The preparation of the 1" wood flooring The box finished... How it fits in the trunk The amp and carpet installed in the back The sub box installed with the side pieces installed on a hinge so I can fold the…

Would love to hear what you guys think of this http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/auto-kits/hi-vi-d630-3-way-autosound-system/

WILL 3.2-3.5 CUBES @ 35-36 HZ WITH 45 SQ'' OF PORT WORK THANX

Well this is just something that had been laying around a friends house and was given to me to use. I don't know much about it other than it's a 15" and has dual 4 ohm coils. The person who had it before me couldn't really tell me much about who made it or anything but I figured I'd post some pics and share it with you guys. Who knows maybe someone has seen one? I haven't had a chance to see it in action but when I do I'll let you know what I think. EDITED: Actually 4 ohm coils not 3, my mistake.

so i throw the XXX 18 ina 4.5cubes sealed box ...it sounds good and great but i have this slapin noise from the sub when i turn it up .....so it must be the tinsel leads is there any way to fix this or did i just soldered them to high ....

I am thinking about getting a 4ch amp a set of mids and tweets and then running everything active. I'll probably get a next 4ch amp that 80rmsx 4 and then a pair of eD eu650 mids and possibly this lgm tweeter http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/in...2.15092&pid=635 The tweeter is supposed to be very similar to one used by jl and diamond on the original hex's that were made in germany. Total cost comes out to under 250 for everything. How do you guys think it would sound? Would everything work fine? Let me know of any recommendations you may have. Thanks. Eric

My Mb Quart pvi 216 6.5 componets went out and i was curious what speakers i could replace them with? i honestly was not to happy with these speakers so any brand would work just something that will mesh with the crossovers and tweeters. what would you guys recommend? really could use the help with what 6.5 speakers to get. price im flexable with and im putting these in a 2001 f150. thanks! here are the specs of the kit brand new.. Features: 6-1/2" Premium Series 2-Way Component Speakers System Power Handling: Peak: 140 watts RMS: 70 watts [*]Polypropylene cone woofer [*]Rubber surround [*]1.5" Titanium "Widesphere" tweeters with neodymium magnets [*]Magnet system with si…

hi first off im new. I am going to get a 15" xcon with the khaotik ported enclosure and i still have stock speakers. I am looking for speakers that will sound good with this sub. Im going to upgrade to a 260 amp alternator, new wiring to the speakers. Its going in a 2008 Trailblazer LT with bose and onstar Look to use the Stetsom TH 4080 Amp with them Any help would be appreciated

First, excellent place for information these forums are. I'm sure I'll lose a ton of sleep pouring over these pages. Now on to my situation. I don't need my vehicles to get extremely loud (I'm very happy at 125db), but I like it to be pretty clean. For this reason I usually prefer older equipment... running a pair of Kicker s12d solobarics until very recently (very happy with those btw). Newer stuff, especially "main stream" stuff tends to be more spl oriented and is usually pretty muddy for my tastes. Due to a downsize in vehicle (it's a 91 318is bmw) I am looking for a single sub I can stick in around a sealed 0.9-1.2ft^3 and sound clean, and loud when desired. …

just wanted to say hi, i just put my order in yesterday for my 15" mag and i cant wait. the mag will be going in my 04 scion xb, not sure what amp im going to run yet maybe a modded bd1500 or an re 12.1. i was previously running 3 crystal 8's with a power bd500 hitting mid 140's and am hoping to do a little better with this 15.

My buddy called me today and is coming over tomorrow and wants a 10 for under 100 bucks. Its late, 1"20 A.M., and I dont really have alot of time to look around, I was thinking a Kicker CompVR or a RE RE. Anyone else have anything else that fits the bill, cheaper the better. Probably is seeing no more than 150 watts, and has approx. .75cuft sealed box.

I used a pair of Skar IVX 12's for midbass? I came across an extra Two Channel amp, and bought two fifteens before my Skars came in, because I'm the worst impulse buyer, ever. Would it even work? I mean, setting my HPF on the fifteens to like, 60 hz, running the skars from 60-100, and then my components 100+? All of them on different amps, of course.

Have factory 6x9 in the rear of my 200 LeSabre. The thing is that I going to put a full Treo system and they dont make a 6x9; so go with the TS 6.5 like the door or add a TSI 8 sub?

The drivers are here! If you pre-ordered drivers, yours will probably go out next week. Other than that, ordering is officially open...although I probably won't get around to putting it on the web page until this weekend. Being this busy can not be healthy.

I just got a 2002 police interceptor for 2k and want to put a system in it. I listen only to rap and love deep clear bass; I want either a single 15 or dual 12's. I want to spend $1500 or less Should i get a single 15 or 2 12's? What brand should i get? What should i power it with? Why? I know i didnt provide a lot of information (i dont know what other info to provide) and this is all personal preference but any help is much appreciated. I don't know trunk dimensions at this point (car's in the shop)

Pics to explain what I've been busy doing:

I want to purchase a 12" sub to be powered by a Soundstream Rubicon 702. Since I have limited trunk space I would rather a sealed enclosure. I use to own a 15" Kicker Solobaric (round version from the late 90's) that was being powered by this same amp and I loved it but it took up my entire trunk. The box was huge. So big I had to aim the sub upwards since it didn't fit facing front or back. So far I've liked the reviews for the Fi Q12 but I'm still very open to suggestions. I was also looking at the kicker cvx12 since I think it would be very similar to my old 15" which I really liked the bass that it produced. I'm just worried I might be disappointed having it in …

found these on my front step today!!! cant wait to start my build

Currently I have the Alpine Type R SPR-135 5.25" component set, the older model. They are on my Rockford P500-2. They keep up fine with my 18" on most songs, but do fall behind on bass crazy songs. So I was thinking of upgrading to better speakers, as I want more SQ, but still need to be able to keep up with my single SSD 18" on a SAX-1200D SPL wise. I was looking at some pro audio speakers on parts express. I notice there's a lot of setups were people run the 6" selenium woofers along with the ST350 super tweeter. Are these a better setup for SQ than what I have or are they purely SPL speakers ? If I went with those as my mains it would require some fabrication. …

Hey I'm trying to find out all I can about these woofers and I'm having little luck. Does anyne know much about these, specifically price for a 12 and box sizes for them?

Yo.. As of right now I have 2 12" kicker cvrs and a 1000watt kenwood.. And frankly it's jus not enough. Im drivin an 03 Pontiac grand am..budget is not an issue I'll be puttin everything together over time.. I've been doin alot of lookin around.. I've set my mind on gettin 1 15" (daily driver) and I'm goin to upgrade all my eletrical etc . I'm jus havin a hard time finding my sub and amp.. If anyone could thro me some suggestions or maybe even convince me to go a different direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Currently have a 12" ICON but when getting ready to build a ported enclosure for it, the sub suffered its fate. So Im looking for a new sub to replace it. I had a custom box designed for it with 1.75cuft at 32hz. If I can still use that it would be great. Looking to power the next sub with either an Audioque 1200d or Crescendo 1500. The DSS Ethos lools great but it seems like the amps above would under power them. I loved my ICON but not sure I want to wait 1.5 months again. Suggestions would be great. Thanks!

OK, well wondering what your opinion is on dedicated midbass drivers like the JL 6W0, TB 6.5, EU-700 and things of that sort? If one say had a higher frequency range say 10hz-4khz, would you use it? in a 2way or 3way setup? vented or sealed or in door. What price would you go for?

Ive been doing some research on some 8' subs with about a $200 budget and was hoping for some suggestions. I've mainly had my eye on the new alpine's since I can get them about $90 a pop. If anybody knows someone that is selling some 8's for sale in a fair price range, or if the sundown SA-8 by itself could topple most 8 inch couples then that input would be handy as well. Secondly, I hear its quite difficult to make a screamin ported box for this size of sub and was hoping for some direction here as well. When I look at youtube videos I see ports that are sometimes much bigger than the box they are in alone. =/ I've fooled around with WinISD pro alpha version, and pu…
