Subwoofers / Speakers

hey guys on Fi's site I was lookin at their 12 inch IB3's and its not showing any cubic feet spec's for a ported box...... why not? I was thinkin about gettin those instead of the SSD's because they call for a lower rms and the xmax is more..... and they're a lil cheaper too.

Is the reason for the lack of posting on your website due to lack of stock?

Ok, so I already have two 12" Alpine Type R's. I am deciding that it is about time to finally upgrade the sound system. These are the three plans I am coming up with: 1) Buy two more Type R's and another amp, and run four twelves. 2) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two more powerful 12's and a new amp. 3) Sell the R's and the amp and buy two 15's and a new amp. This is all in a 1993 Range Rover LWB.

To make a long story short, since I started installing, I have been playing around with a few idea, and I am going to switch up my front stage. I currently have a set of JL XR5x7 coaxial speakers running off a Rockford 800a2 (Way overkill of an amp for a front stage but it leaves a lot of headroom). My buddy is selling off his set of Adire Kodas and I am thinking that would be a good route to go. The plan is to run the Kodas Passive off the Rockford amp and sound deaden my doors. I am thinking of going with some new type of deadener of the outer door skin called Black Hole and Dynamat on the inner door skin and seal everything off. The only problem is there are no g…

Sorry bout that mess of a trunk, i am currently deadening my entire car. got started with some help form nick earlier today.

Heres some pictures of my current work in progress. It is a downward firing, (port to the side, might build another one with port up too) for behind the seat in an Ext. Cab 89 S-10. A DD 1008 is going in it powered by my USA-300 and my epicenter if I get around to hooking it up. This box was/is built for taking up a minimal amout of space and because I have this stuff laying around doing nothing. The box is around .8 cubes tuned to 40hz. On with the pictures

I am wondering which amp setup would be better to run on some.mid range bass door speakers and tweeters? I see a lot of people running 4 channel ones but wanted to know everyone's input on them considering I have a 2 channel just sitting here at home that hasn't seen any power yet.

Currently I have a Boston Acoustics G512-44 on a Rockford P1000-1bd. I have it sealed, running at 2-ohm, I like the way it sounds. I listen to mostly rock/rap, with the occasional classic rock and R&B. My goals are to have more output, but still keep accuracy. I really enjoy a tight double bass, and love the deep bass from rap. My G5 plays double bass really good, and hits lows alright. I know I could build a ported box and try that first, but I would like to try something new. Height wise, I cannot fit a 15 inch sub into my trunk, but do have quite a bit of room in there. I would like to stay sealed box, and maybe run two 12's or something. What would be yo…

Hey guys - I wanted to take just a second and say hi and tell you a little about me, Daber Audio, and planned future products. I'm an audio junkie, drag racing fan, father of two, married, guy from central Illinois. When I was a little kid (probably about two years old) my dad had an Pionner/Technics/Marantz home stereo set up. I loved to sit and watch the equalizer (digital display) and thought the lines moving up and down were stick people dancing. I then figured out there was a correloation between what sound was being played and which "stick people" danced. So there it began, the obsession. As I got a little older I started getting in to home hifi, then a natural prog…

hey guys whats up, i went to go order my BTLs today but at www.ficaraudio.com there is no longer a place to order them? do you guys know if the website is just down or is something else going on? thanks

Which 6.5" speakers put out the best all around sound from 150w max to each speaker. I'll probably only be using two speakers in pvc wakeboard style enclosures. It would be nice to have a little bass as well as decent highs and mids.

I am sure there are going to be alot of happy people this week as I was today when I got home and opened my door and there was the big brown box I have anxiously awaited. And let me tell you this thing is gorgeous!!! I really love the chrome job on it. Can't wait till the morning to get it in and running. THANKS NICK!!!

I've got a box for a single 12" just sitting in the garage and thought I'd put it to use. I'm looking for some recommendations for a cheap twelve. This is just something to get me by for a while so I'm only looking at spending around $50 max. The box is just over 1 cubic foot (something like 1.12 I think) and the cutout is a hair over 11".

my bro wants to know any opinion will help

Hey everyone i'd like to hear some opinions on what i want for my sub stage. I want to get rockford fosgate. here are the options im thinking.. 2 12" P3's sealed or ported? 1 15" T1 ported 2 10" T0's ported 1 10" T2 ported Will be getting 1000rms to them. I've asked all my friends and their opinions are scattered lol. What do you guys think I should get? I want good sound quality and loudness as well.. id go for more sound quality than loudness but if i can get loudness too that would be great. Im leaning more towards the 1 15" t1 or p3s sealed but idk.. will be in a honda civic coupe, and in the trunk. thanks again guys cant wait to hear some feedback.

Hi I was just wondering when the level 5's will be released , as i'm selling all of my old equipment and almost ready for some new stuff. Congrats on the street a win . thanks Charlie

in your (non biased) opinion, which sub would you say, in there optimal enslure w/at least rms power running to them, would sound better/be louder? a few guys on CA.com i was talking to said that i should get the HDC's over the BL's and that they are louder. he said the HDC's are more comparable to the BTL's....of course i have my doubts but i want to know what you guys think thanks

I've just got this sub and at first was very disappointed with it and the lack of output and low end bass it produces, it is in a sealed box BTW, so I thought ok, it need to wear it in.... so I've now had it running for roughly about 4 or 5 hours in total this week. It seems to be a bit better but still sounds just crap and pathetic with poor low end...especially considering its worth a lot more than my previous 8" sub My previous 8" sub picked up lows very well and had pretty good output for a $40Au ($30 approx USD) sub, I'd prefer it over this monster double stacked motored Rockford Fosgate It just isnt right and distorts really easy and the old cheap sub just puts it t…

So, i've downed to 3 subs, IA Death Penalty 12", SSA Xcon 12" or Fi BL 12". Will be getting 2 subs. The amp that will be powering them will be the Crescendo Audio BC3500D. Max box size is 52x24x17. I listen to pretty much anything but mainly rap and hard rock. If theres something else I forgot to mention let me know.

ELEMENTAL DESIGNS and RESONANT ENGINEERING are working on a line of comps, so keep your eyes open. these are going to be sum bad ass comp, and for the money they will be hard to beat. thats all i can say right now jamie

ok well i have decided to go SQ for my system... i wanna know what the best speakers would be for this... i need 2 5.25" speakers and 2 4" speakers.... right now i am using the infinity reference speakers and they sound pretty good i was wondering what might be better then these... price doesnt matter and im gonna fit up an amp that will match the specs of the speakers.

WHere are they....are they no longer made... If not then i guess i will get myself an IXL 15 or 12... btw...what size amp should i run an IXL on?

i need some mid's with killer midbass, enough to blend in well with my horns and ported idmax. here are my amp specs: MA Audio m283i 2ch # Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz # Full Mosfet Circuitry # Selectable Bass Boost @ 50Hz # 50dB Channel Separation # 90dB Signal Noise Ratio # 22K Ohm Input Impedance # 200mV-2V Input Sensitivity # THD <0.05% # Selectable Crossover: LPF, FLAT, HPF # 50Hz - 250Hz Low Pass Filter # 50Hz - 250Hz High Pass Filter # Selectable Bass Boost (0db, 6dB, 12dB) # 2 x 100W Rms @ 4 Ohm Stereo # 2 x 200W Rms @ 2 Ohm Stereo # 1 x 400W Max @ 4 Ohm Bridged # Fuse Rating: 25A x 1 could yall suggest something? theyre most likely gonna be in the doors …

I've finally decided to go with a single 15 ported setup...bout 4cu.ft.tuned to bout 33hz Ive got canidates in mind...but havent looked every where... Canidates Audioque HDC3 FI SSD (w/copper coil) or Q(stock) Kicker CVX Alpine Type R TC-Sounds tc-9 I want to power it with this: Hifonics BXi 1206D 2400-Watt Brutus Mono Amplifier http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...roductID=16367 But I also looked at these... MB Quart RWE-352 - MB Quart Reference Series 15" 1400 Watt DVC Subwoofer http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=3416 If I went with those, I would get two and throw them in a sealed box. Ive heard that MB Quart makes pretty good speakers...And Ive also…
