  1. Hello guys, how's it going? I've been banging with my DCON 12s for a while now and am thinking of stepping up my bass output. I have the DCON's in 1.75 cubes each tuned to 33hz (that's about what I could fit). For what it's worth they have served me pretty well and I've been told my many people they pound. I have them powered by a RF T500. What I'm considering is either 1 Xcon 12 ported or 1 Xcon15 sealed or 2 Sundown SA-12's in an enclosure around the same size I currently have. Either would be powered by a Sundown SAZ-1500D V.2.

    As the topic title reads I need info on ID horns. I have 2 sets of horns. Both sets are full size. I have had minimal results searching for info on these horns. One set came with the install and tuning instructions. What I am looking for is the correct crossover freq. for these sets, power ratings, and the advantages of one set over the other. I did find this link for what I beleive is the V-2 version PDF but the driver in the second set of pictures does not match the driver in the PDF. Any info or input you can provide is appreciated. 1st set-Beleived to be CD1E-V1 2nd set-Paper work that came with it states-CD1E-V.2

    Hi I have a 2008 BMW 328i Sedan with the standard Hi-Fi stereo system (1" tweets, 4" midranges, 8" midbass) I been looking around E90Post to see what people have been replacing their components with and found that most put Focal, MB Quart, Morel or Earthquake (for the midbass). However, after looking around other places, I saw this brand that calls themselves the best when it comes to SQ? The brand is Hybrid Audio and they have a bunch of trophies from SQ competitions. I want to put the very best as I drive this car a lot and dont want to be worrying about upgrading in the future. This is the "best" they offer = Legatia L841-3 Pro Component Speaker Set Exactly what I need…

    I have seen several good comments about their amps. My question is, are their 6.5" comps as good as their amps?? Pricing looks VERY inviting. On both the comps and their 4 channel.

    i am building a setup for listening only, no competitions or anything, running (2) sa-8 dvc 4's, i was originally thinking of a sundown 1000d, which i felt was enough, but everyone i see with sa-8's is running either a 1200d or 1500d, is it safe to run these larger amps for daily abuse on the subs or is the 1000d going to be enough, thanks for your advice

    Hi every body ! A friend of mine wants a 15" sub for his system. He has a DTI amp that pushes about 1200 watts rms at 1 Ohm. I think it's like a Boss amp ! So, numbers are not very accurate. He wanted a 1000 watts rms sub, but can go down to 600-700 rms. He wants it to be loud, not for breaking spl records, but not into SQ ! I showed him 3 available subs : Sundown SA 15, Kicker CVX, and Alpine type R. What do you think ? Any other choice ? Ooh ; budget is less than $300, $250 will be better. We have big shipping fees to add later. Waiting on you guys ! Thanks

    Been out of audio for a few years now so Im going to need to get some advice on brands/models... I am looking at replacing and amping up my audio in a '06 BMW 3 series. Stock is 4" in doors, 1" tweets in upper doors. 8" sub under each seat. I want to get a Fosgate 360.1/2 and add in my 12" SI mag, but I can also skip the extra weight of the mag and just replace the stock 8" subs under each seat. This is some of the speakers to have been found to work on these cars...Are there anything better?

    My old Death Row has been sitting around for a while not doing anything. I decided to give it to my brother and was wondering what the downsides would be to trying to run the Death Row in a Sealed Box? I know it is recommended ported, but the proper room just isn't there. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

    Building a little setup for my dad, its going into a volkswagen jetta, already has an alpine mrd-500 in it, so im basing my sub decision around that power. He listens to oldies, classic rock, country...so i was thinking something along the lines of a pair of sundown e8's, sundown sa-10 etc....any other recommendations are welcome. Also thinking either a low tuned ported box, or 4th order bandpass. Hes missing a bit of hearing on the low end scale so this could make up for it.

  16. I used to pair it up with a FI BL 18" but since I bought a new car, a 240sx, I must now think smaller. Im thinking two SSD's to be paired with the 1500D but im not looking forward to the hassle and the wait of shipping into Canada (Vancouver). If anyone has any other suggestions that would help, im hoping i dont have to shop online.

  17. Hi I would like to find out if there is any big advantages to changing out my daily driver RE Audio SE10 (pre US AMPS takeover) to a SKAR VVX10 or SA-10. I have a current box built with approx 1.25cu tuned to 34hz, and will probally be using the same box. I want to try out a new sub only if it is better. Also running off a US AMPS Merline MD1D @ 1ohm. Thanks for any input.

  19. JUST EMAIL KEVIN AT [email protected] WITH " I WANT 4 OHM ANARCHYS!! " IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND BODY. This is an unofficial attempt to get a single run of 4 ohm Anarchys for the car audio crowd as well as those who want MTMs with 2 run in series for 8 ohms. Though I would be stupid to claim I convinced Kevin to stop making Maelstrom-X's with 8 ohm coils, I firmly believe I helped tip him in that direction. When Kevin 1st released the Anarchys he did so at an astonishing $45/ea to get MASSIVE attention to them, just as he initially released the Maelstrom-X 21's at a whopping $550/ea for a while, with several special offers along the way: free shipping, buy one Maelstrom-…

    My buddy just sold me his SSD 12's already in a ported box at about 6 cu. He poked two holes in the surround of one speaker, I knew of this prior to buying them from him. I'm wondering what my options are. I do not want to re-cone it myself, I would like to send it in. However, he has had these subs for quite sometime, I'm almost positive the warranty has already expired. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
