Subwoofers / Speakers

i hate to sound like a major noob but everyone knows how mainstream subs suck ass compared to the i guess u could say "underground" brands like fi. i was wondering when it comes to perfect door speaker quality...whats some kickass midrange speaks?

Just thought I would post my idea for my doorpanels. Not sure on what to power them with. I was thinking 2 t600-2's 1 per door. Let me know what you guys think.

I see a lot of heavy subs or multiple sub boxes being used with double baffles. Is there really any pros or cons to that vs adding some bracing inside the box? I'd think it wouldn't matter much, but I can learn something new here every day!

I already posted this but i haven't really got any opinions and i want to get this project done as soon as possible and that is why i am double postiny. Now i know its all install dependent but which setup will be the loudest n have great sound quality out of these choices: Basically im looking for a great realiable amp thats super efficient with the most true watts *90 amp alt *0 gauge amp wiring kit *Box probably going to be 2.2 @ 33hz (its in a 99 saturn sl2) 12" Fi Q or 12" Fi SSD copper coils, BP power and with what amp? JBL GTO1201.1 II 1114 X 1 2ohm 115 amp 3X40fuses Apline MRD-M1005 1000 X 1 2ohm Heard only draws 90 amps INFINITY 1211A 1300 X 1 2ohm Kenwood KAC-…

what is the differance in a Double Stack or Tripple Stack sub ??? how does it affect the preformalce ?

Due to the need for space in the back of my truck, I am forced to downsize. Currently I have 2 fi bl 18's installed. What should I do? [scenario 1] I have 2 fi bl 12's that I purchased along with the 18's and haven't touched them yet. So I would just make a box for them and put it in. [scenario 2] I would remove 1 18 and build a new box [scenario 3] I would sell both of my 18 inch bl's and buy a single 18 inch BTL and use it. Which way would be the loudest? Subs up, port back. Sundown audio 3kd. So the main question would be, will I still get the lows with 12's that I get with 18's? And would an 18 inch BTL be louder than 2 12 inch BL's? Help is appreciated

Ok real simple. Wall in a first gen two door Blazer. 2x18"subs. I will buy the apms accordingly and have plenty o' space for a build. Back seat is out and will be staying out. Now would you go with the DP 18's or the new xcon 18's? I'm torn. Don't want a SPL only machine. Just a groundpounder.

whast the prices for the bm and the mag d2's? i was wondering for each size.

thats right fellas tomorrow night my build will be completely ready to TL a drop in test with Fi and DD specs are as follows car electrical 220amp mechman alt 3 optima batts few runs of 0 ga big 3 (ofcourse) car box 2.7cubes tuned to 60hz with 76^2 port port and sub firing into the cabin car amp Sundown 3500 Car Subwoofers Fi BTL UFO D1 DD 9515H D2 to make the test as fair as possible, voltage and charge times will be alotted between each run BTL will be run at .5 OHM in same box 9515 will be run at 1ohm in same box not going for a single style, like outlaw or anything. just the highest score we can get for each. i really hope the btls wins this shit, because its honest…

Hey guys I got a pair of 12" dss ethos that I had lying around , and finally gonna install it in my Altima. Anyways I had it in my challenger and it sounded great. Got rid of the challenger and forgot how I did the box. So I went on the website and was surprised when it said 40sq inches for 1.5 ft3. So if I wanted a 3 cubes box it would need 80 sq inches. I did the port length calculator and with that port area I would need a port length of like 60" lol So so I wanna ask if anyone has stuck to the recommendations to the T and hat results did they get.

Damn https://www.dss.audio/products/savage-15?utm_campaign=Kit_2017-Jun-10_20%3A26%3A37&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=singleproduct_post&utm_content=10548225735 Curious about what you more experienced people think about this? Looking to buy new subs and this is up there on the list.

I'm trying to find out about something about subs. If I have a dual 1 ohm subs can I change them over too dual 2 ohm. I have 2 12" dual 1 ssa zcons. I'm looking for another one or two more used and if I find one that's dual 2 I would like too change them to dual 1s. If anyone's trying to sell there 12 ssa zcons hit me up

I noticed that the BL differs between the two options on Fi's website. Do they perform the same? I see that they are almost exact in sensitivity. How does this work if the motors are different strengths (different BL's)??

Well right now I am gonna get either 2 Fi BL or 2 ICONS. They will be wired to 1ohm off my soundstream pca2000d. But in the future i will be getting a zx2500.1. On the kicker site it rates it a 2500 rms at 2 ohms. Are the kicker amps one ohm stable? Cause if i get dual 1's to run off my soundstream amp at 1 ohm then when i upgrade to my kicker amp and not be able to wire them to 2 ohm then i got a problem. I was thinking though if i just got Dual 2's and just ran them off the soundstream amp at 2 ohms for 1500 watts then just be set for when i get the kicker amp. Or can will i be able to wire dual 1's to 2ohms off the kicker?

I found me box builder for my truck. the enclosure would be a little over 2.4 cubic ft. net so my options are quad 8's in a custom enclosure or two 10's in a fox acoustics enclosure. if I go with the quad 8's what's a good option to go with under $140 per sub our $220 with the dual 10's? I want something thats sound good but somewhat loud at the same time

If i were to get two 12 ixls and push them with a sundown 1200d, would they be louder than if i were to just purchase one and put the full 1200 watts to it? Also this may be a dumb question but a friend of mine's dad is gonna build me a box, and if i were to make 1 cut out on one side, later on could i add another cut out to the other side? Its gonna be a sealed box but i was wondering if that would mess the frequencies up and stuff. thanks

Ok so I was wondering how well do Kicker L7's hold up. I'm not looking for great SQ or the Loudest, just a good in between that isn't extremely expensive. 2 12" L7 2ohm or 2 12" L7 4 ohm is what I was thinking. Also are Hifonics amps decent? they seem to be cheap... but is it just another "you get what you pay for" deal? or if you could recommend something else all together, I am use to lower quality/ older style MTX, Sony etc.

Whats goin on guys. I have yet to experience a mag in person but im already convinced that i want a couple . Now i just have to wait for them to come out again. Im planning to put them in the rear-well of my '95 camaro ported. Not sure what size enclosure or tuning yet though. I will be powering them w/ a Orion 1200d @ .5 ohms and 14.7 volts. Im hoping around 800+ per sub. Just wondering what you guys rec'd for a VERY loud daily as i know i dont have to worry about the SQ...ITS A MAGNUM B) Not sure exactly how many cubes i can squeeze out of the back, im guessing around 4.7.

I been doing a little reading on fourths, and I think I want one lol. My question is how much space would two sundown x15's need for a fourth order?

I am planning on ordering 4 sundown sa-8 v2 subs for my Silverado crew cab. I am gonna build a box for them that will be 2.2 net cubes, maybe a little more, and with at least 32 square inches of port area. I am wandering if since I am going to be using a crescendo bc2000, should I get 4 dual 4 subs and wire them to .5 ohms or 4 dual 2 and wire them to 1 ohm? I have done the big 3 in 1/0, have a stinger spp1500d, and have all wiring in 1/0. I will also be buying a new alt here soon.

I just had two of the DD1508 subs installed in my trunk and am absolutely amazed at what they are putting out. These frigging subs pound and sound like (2) 12's. has anyone else had the pleasure of running these same subs and if so any comments on the way they performed?

I think I might just do it when they come out.

ok so i have two oz audio ME 10.4's one of which just got its dustcap ruptured during a move. it's a nice sized crack that spans the diameter of the cap, but it's not a hole. i've tried numerous times to contact oz to get a replacement to no avail [and i've heard they don't offer replacements after the warranty period anyways] so i did two things. first i epoxied the crack yesterday. second i found someone with an ubranded RE SR dustcap that seems to be the same shape sans oz audio imprint. pic of RE SR for reference: so my question is whether either of these modifications to one sub will alter the combined sound of both subs. i know you're not supposed to mix speakers t…

From my reasoning if you ran a dual 2ohm and dual 4 ohm subs in parallel of the same make and power handling it would give you a .75 load. Would there be something hindering me from dueing this as long as my amp can handle the load?
