Subwoofers / Speakers

Is a 139.8 on music loud for this?

Is there a way to check how DVC sub is wired without taking it out of the box by using a dmm? I would assume to just check the + and - coming out of the box (theres only 2 terminals in the back). And see what the ohms read. Am i correct or no.

Ok Ive narrowed it down to these 2 subs going in a 2.34 cu aero ported box.Any opinions or videos on the icons?

Hey everyone. I am getting ready to order equipment for my new boat. In my last boat I ran two FI Q 12's with the high qts option in 1 cube sealed fiberglass enclosures (after displacement) with 1200 watts rms each. With that I have two questions: 1) What subs would you recommend (I have been looking at the Xcon, Q, and Exile Big, but am open to anything). I have a Exile 2500.1 amp that I plan to use which puts out 2500 watts at 1 ohm. 2) What would fit best in the space provided (info below)? (I know I can fit 2 12's sealed again easily) Anyway, the new boat gives me some more room to play with, but limited access. I know I want to install one sub on the drivers si…

Hi, A friend of mine is looking for an 8" midbass speaker. He has several sizes speakers in his car ! It's not really perfect as ///M5 would have done it, but it sounds so good !!! It's one of the best sounding cars in my island : loud, nice and gets low when needed ! The 8" will be powered by 2 channels of a JBL amp, a pbx 300.4, so about 125 watt rms per side at 4 Ohms. He runs a second JBL amp (100.4) on the smaller speakers and tweeters. Electrical is very good. He has 4 Sundown saz 1000's on 2 SSA Xcon 15" in a small Renault Clio (build log here on ssa forum). So... All his speakers are in the front doors (2 doors car), and he has just told me that he doesn't care ab…

I have a little experiment I'd like to conduct. I don't wanna see any name calling, trash talking, or otherwise. I just want to see which you feel will sound better, not necessarily louder (but can comment on it) and WHY based solely on paper specs supplied by the manufacturer. I'm talking actual quality overall, what is the better sounding driver. They are all 12" subs. Here are your options, rank them in order best to worst: Option 1: RMS power: 500 watts Coil config: dual 4 ohm Sensitivity: 88 dB 1w/1m Fs: 33.6 Qts: 0.47 Vas: 3.119 cu. ft. Xmax: 10 mm Mounting depth: 6.73" Option 2: RMS power: 1000 watts Coil config: dual 4 Sensitivity: 96 dB 1w/1m Fs: 36 hz Qts:…

I'm putting 1 12" in a 1.60 cu ft. box precision port tuned to 35hz on an audiopipe 1500.Need help deciding what sub to get.

Unfortunitely I need to build a new home for my XCON 15. The current enclosure is 4^3ft net tuned to 32hz. I love it. The output is good and the sound quality is great. BUT!!! I need to get some cargo area back. After tossing around a few ideas I decided to sick with my XCON but build a 3.0^3ft sealed enclosure for it. I am really going to miss the ported output How much polyfill should I add in the enclosure? Will the sub still handle 1750wrms daily?

I own a 2006 Pontiac G6 3.5L Sedan. Im looking to install a system, but its been so long since I had one. I'm looking for a lot of bass but SQ is more important. I was looking at the Icon and Dcon series subs here. What I'm wanting to know is which would be better in your opinion for Tight bass and great SQ. I was thinking 2 10's or maybe 1 15'. Thanks in advance ~T

What are some user reviews of the Digital Designs 2500 15"?

i want to get louder but im on a budget, so someone told me that i could recone my 15" Fi SSD to an 18".... how hard is this to do or am i required to send it off and get it changed? Iv never done this before so all information and recommendations is helpful Also, what difference in loudness would i notice the box will be 6 cubes at 32Hz. in advance, Thanks

So im planning on getting 2 12" xcons I have the money to get one right now. I already have a 12" enclosure. I could order one (when they become available) and use it on the current enclosure while I wait a bit til I can get the 2nd one. My question is, will there be any unbalance or noticeable difference when it comes to the break-in period? If I go this way, by the time I get the 2nd one, the first one might be already breaking in and I wouldn't like unbalanced bass. Sorry if this is a really stupid thread, I dont know if such thing is possible or if humans can even hear such a difference. But I rather ask than regret in the future.

Hi all, First of all let me start out by saying how happy I am with my 12" ICON I bought almost a year ago. This thing blew me away for the price I paid, but now I want more! Right now my setup is 1 12" ICON powered by a Sundown Audio SAZ-1000d and I have a couple of questions about upgrading... 1) Should I get another ICON or upgrade to 1 XCON? (either setup will probably be going in a sealed box) 2) Was thinking about purchasing another SAZ-1000d and using the master/slave feature to power whichever setup I go with, or would you recommend buying a different amp at like 2000 watts RMS instead of linking two together? Also, cost is important to me.

Can anyone tell me what's so special about the 9500 series and below? Why is the 3515 series map $500? The AQ HDC3 is way less, the Fi BL is way less, Hell the BTL N2 is less as well. Please, I feel really retarded that I don't hang from DD's nuts since their products are so superior. Please tell me why I should get a DD3500 series sub and pay $500 map pricing or tell me what I am not understanding. I posted here to get non-nuthuggery answers.

Best 10" that'll work in .8 with 7.5 mounting depth? $600 is for both amp & sub. This is gonna be for an sq system in a g35 coupe so gobs of output isn't a requirement.

So I was wanting to get my first sub set up in my car and have been doing some research and was hoping to get some information from you guys. I have an 02 Nissan Altima with a pioneer deh 4200ub headunit and pioneer 6x9's and alpine type S's up front. I was originally asking about getting comps in my rear deck but Ive decided I would really like a nice sub stage instead. Amp wise I think Ive decided on something from Sundown Audio. I contacted someone from Sundown and was asking about a refurb model because I am on a budget and the savings would help, my budget is around 500-600 for the amp and sub. DB-r is their refurbisher from what ive read and currently they dont ha…

i have a sae-1200dv2 and i have big 3 done in 1/0 and i have a sheriken bt120.

I just bought a 2011 Mazda 3 and since I just bought it tonight I haven't had much time to really search everything out about the car but from what I found online it looks like it has 5 1/4" speakers which I know there is two speakers in front doors and two in the back, i'm not sure about the rear deck or any tweets around the dash, which I will check tomorrow when I get a chance, but anyways I was wondering if there is anyway to fit a 6.5" speaker in the 5 1/4"? Should I just get two front speakers or two fronts and two rears since they'll be in the doors, which I do plan on amping them? I know this is all personal opinion, but I mainly listen to metal, but I also listen…

Hi guys, Im not quite sure if I put this in the correct section but Im sorry if its not right. Anyways I found I really good deal on a W7 on Craigslist close to my house. I was going to call the guy and make a time to check out the sub. Im pretty dumb when it comes to knowing what signs of abuse are for subs but I was wanting to know in general what are some things I WANT to see as well as some things I DONT want to see (as far as whether I should buy the sub). I mean I know that holes in the subs surround or any cracks are bad but as far as the mechanics of the sub what are some signs of abuse. Hope this makes sense.

I am shopping for two 12" subwoofers that will work well in a small vented enclosure. I would like the net volume to be 4^3 ft. or less (net meaning not including driver, material or port displacement). Some other requirements are: ~2000wrms per driver ~low f3 ~daily setup, music only ~enclosure tune to 30-32 hz with a 60-80hz xover point ~I mostly listen to rap I am considering having custom subwoofers built if needed. What are "ideal" T/S parameters based on my preferences?

I have a 2002 nissan altima without the bose speaker system. I currently have a Pioneer deh-4200ub headunit and in the front I put in 2 alpine type S coaxial speakers. In the rear deck are 2 pioneer 6x9s that were installed by the previous owner. Im looking to add some more midbass to my system because the current speakers just seem sort of flat. I dont have an amp hooked up and the HU is powering the speakers. Ive read here that an amp is necessary to get the most out of your speakers because the HU pushes something like 22w. Im pretty content with the type S's up front sq wise. They are 5 1/4 if I remember right and thats all that would fit in there without fabrication …

My buddy wants me to put a system in his boat, and I'm looking for a sub any suggestions?

My buddy wants me to put a system in his boat, and I'm looking for a sub any suggestions?

Im strongly considering a 12in DCON S4 for my daily driver. My SA-10s are going to be moved to my Sonoma when its running, and I want to try something different for my daily (07 Altima). Ill get a Crescendo 1000C4 and bridge the rear channels for the sub, having 500rms on tap for it. I listen to mostly rock and techno, very little rap. I like to have more mid bass then really low end, but still would want it to get pretty low. Id like to have the LPF crossed about 100-120Hz. Most of all, I want as even an output across the widest range possible. Looking for more of an SQ setup. I dont care some much for loud bass, as I do air moving bass if that makes sense. I like to f…

Would i need a double thick front for 2 15 inch IA Flyatlyns?
