Subwoofers / Speakers

Ok so my sub stopped playing today; neither coil will measure either. The only thing that is bothering me is that I cannot understand why. I do not think I overpowered it in all honesty. I've had the same amp on it for 2 years. The coil visually looks brand new: no melted former or discoloration. I cannot see breaks in the tinsel leads or wire ANYWHERE. There is no evidence whatsoever that the bottom of the spider crashed into the top plate; none that I can see. There is no rubbing when I push down on the cone. I've tried the sub on multiple amps. Any ideas what broke on me? Tinsel leads broken inside of the spider? That wouldn't make a lot of sense, though. The spider is…

So i've decided to go with the 18" BTL N2, but was wondering if i should get the cooling option or just the p chamfer because in the tech area it says getting the cooling will weaken the metal- what do you guys suggest i do- im getting all other options. Its going to be for everyday play. Thanks in advance.

I have a JL Audio 500/1v2 & am ready to add my substage. I'm using an Alpine-CDA-9886 h/u & Image Dynamics CTX-65 components up front, powered by a JL Audio 300/4v2 (running active). I know JL Audio isn't very well liked around here, but I got the 2 amps lnib for $280. I originally planned on porting a single Sundown SA-12, but now I'm not sure. I can get a brand new Sundown SA-12d2 for $160 locally, or order a 12'' MB Quart RWE-302 from woofersetc for $70. I plan on porting either way, & I have a Grand Cherokee, so space isn't an issue as I've heard the MBQ's need alot of space. Opinions? http://www.woofersetc.com/p-3415-rwe-302-mb-quart-12-1000-watt-referen…

Hey guys, i have made a little bit of progress in terms of my build. Purchased an saz-1000d so i had a place to start with because i honestly couldnt make up my mind what i wanted to do so i just decided to buy something and get started. I currently have 1 jl w6 and i would like louder, but still sound really good playing music. I will be getting a box custom made, i am now down to picking the subs... So a couple questions... What should i go with considering the amp. 1 15" or 2 12" Including the box, i am looking to spend somewhere in the 700.00 range. I hope that this has given ample enough information to tell you what i want so you guys can point me in the right direc…

i have a FI SSD 15, the last generation with all the add ons. I want to get another FI SSD 15 to be louder, BUT will it make a difference if i bought a new one with the NEO magnet, I realy dont want to miss match woofers. So will it make a difference if i bought a new one with a neo magnet and run it with the one i have now without a neo magnet, if so what difference will i notice? and will it be a big one?

How much does the sa-15 weigh? and how much does a death penalty weigh?

I'm doing some research for my summer project and have a question about the amount of subs and power. Same subs and power, just different number of subs (I'm strongly considering Sundown's E8's). The question is, which setup would have more as far as output and low end? Less subs and more power per sub or more subs and less power per sub? Or, is it a situation where things would be pretty much equal (kind of like balancing out because less subs/more power=more subs/less power)?

Was there any change in the night shade specs from the v.1 to the v.2? i plan to buy a 15 and not sure the specs changed.

Looking at these mids http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=538 . Anyone here using these or know anything about them? Also im looking for a tweeter to run with them. My set up is a 4ch amp running active with a pioneer880. the mids are in the door ,sound deadened fully,tweeters mounted above and forward of mids. subs are IA Li's. listen to mostly rap,r&B,and classic rock.

i have a question for all you experts out there i have always heard that room gain starts at the frequency which 1/2 its wavelength is the distance from the subwoofer to the farthest distance of the room of course materials that the room is made of, etc take place but for the example i am going to use lets say there is 0 leaks and really lower resonance of materials used (ex concrete) is room gain greater if the room is 10 feet high by 10 feet wide by 30 feet long and subwoofer placed in a corner (room gain starts at 19 hz i think) 3000 or if the room is 7 feet high by 5 feet wide by 35 feet long and subwoofer is placed in corner (room gain starts at 16hz i think) …

I know this will be mainly opinionated, but i am wondering on what you think would be a good step up from a 12" w6. I love the sound of the w6 but i want it to be a bit louder with the same quality. Again i am not looking for someone to try and give me proof of which sub is better or what would be better, but just personal opinions on what you think would sound similar to a w6 just a bit louder. 12" Fi Q 12 "Death Row 12" Icon

Hey what gauge should I be using? (Rockford Fosgate T1500dbcp and 2 T1 12's) Thanks, Ted

Im having some minor issues with my two Z 15's and i was wondering if i upgrade to a couple of btl 15's what will i gain/lose wit output and sound quality? Is it worth the extra $80?

so i have the kicker 2500.1 which is 2500 @ 2ohms, or 1250 @ 4. I want to know what will give me the most boom. Mostly rap all day. I can build a custom ported box. I have the whole hatch of the nitro to work with. i wanna knock on peoples doors from blocks away, rattling windows is fun- lol

Soundstream TRC.60C 6.5" 250W Tarantula Component System. it will be going i the front dord of my trailblazer with a old bo bo american bass amp not sure of the watts. what do yall think of them and has any one used them. there on the 1800 website.

Is it really recommended for a daily driver not get to get spl rated subs or is it acceptable?

Hey whats going on. had a question since fi audio came out with there new version n2. is there a need for a double 1" mdf baffle like there spec cut-sheets say. since the n2 is less weight?

Im new to sound systems and I 'm looking for a sub that is the cleanest and produces the most bass for under a 1000 dollars. I already have a Hifonics Hf I Monoblock 2000 watts rms amp and would prefer to be able to use that. Open to speakers up to 15 inches.

hello. well iv narrowed my choices down to the ones above. i will have them running on a kicker zx1500.1, 4 gauge wireing, in a ext. cab ranger i want a little of both ( SQ and SPL) i dont want to spend over 325 max.

What sub would hit harder, the sa8 in a 1cu ported box or the dcon 10 in a 1.25cu ported box. This will be run on about 300rms in the trunk of a car

I am just curious as to what would be considered a high spl number on the metwe for a sub woofer set up?

Looking to get some components for setup. Budget is about $400-$500 maybe a bit more if it'd be worth it. 2002 Malibu, want to make some kicks for em. 6.5" comps. I want to get the best sound quality possible. I don't want them to be harsh. I haven't personally heard any of these brands but i've read that Focals can be harsh. I want them to be laid back, detailed, have good midbass, Just have a great overall sound and be able to get loud to keep up with some xcon 12's. I have a few that i've looked into. So give me your thoughts and opinions and if you suggest any others in my price range. I'd be willing to spend a $100-few $100 more if i should. I'll most likely be runni…

I have a 2010 Dodge Nitro. Right now i am running two 12'' dvc 4 ohm L7s with a 2500.1 kicker amp- so 4ohm load. Now it only puts out 1250 @ 4 ohms and 2500@ 2, but it slams them pretty hard- they are 750 rms. Now i do mostly listen to rap music or techno so i like the thump thump thump thump. I am very curious about the BTLs and was wondering if they are capable of slamming harder than the L7s. I was thinking about going with one 12" considering my amp is 2500 @ 2. I need help deciding and i really want to be a believer in Fi cuz all the videos i saw on you tube amazed me. I am more curious on prices of these subs, i know they all have options you can customize. So i w…

just want to hear your opinions what you guys think about the Ascendant Audio Chaos???
