Subwoofers / Speakers

Which one would hit harder The hdc3 is 370 shipped and the btl would be around 450 fully loaded. I want a hard hitting system but I don't have much space I drive a 2000 accord coupe. So what do you guys think I should get.

im thinking of buying a 15D2 and giving my 12 to my bro when will hte next 15's be released? and for the stealth audio plans ill be back in like 5 min with some pictures. ill shoot some pics of my new truck and show you what im gunna do.

my friend has a dual 4 ohm old school cerwin vega stroker that he has told me i can get for $100, the only problem is that i metered the voice coils and they are reading 3 ohms apiece. what do you guys think, does it still have some playing time left or should i not purchase it?

hey i was just thowing together some fast 15 inch box approximations and if i stood the box up so the sub was firing at the back of the front seat i could only get 1 inch of wood at the top and bottom of the box becuase the speaker size it to big ( i got a max of 18.5 in so with 3/4 in mdf i get 1 inch of space at top and bottom. is that enough space or should i sit it down so the sub is firing upwards. if i do that i can get plenty of room. if i face it upward would it sound any differnt?

Would it be ok to run a 15 inch l7 on a zx1000 or would i need a battery upgrade. Because if i need a battery upgrade then i would bump up my amp to a 1500. Its just a money issue

I recently acquired a 15 inch MTX Terminator, all I need is wiring and an amplifier but I don't know how strong of an amplifier I need because of how old the sub is. Can anyone help me out? I really don't know much about sub/amp combinations. A picture of it http://imgur.com/a/qeulw

i just got my friend sold on buying a magnum. i was wondering that would hit lower and sound better, a ported 12 incher d2 or sealed 15 inch d2. he wasnts awesome sound quality and wants t hit low well. and hit. the 12 would be ported tuned fairly low, like 20-30 herts i assum

so i have a trailblazer. im looking for a 15 0r 18 inch sub that will be mainly used for rap. enclosure size is not much of an issue. my limit is about $500 for the sub. i need more of an spl sub for a daily driver. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks ahead ps. please spell out the brands, i have no idea what the initials stand for. thanks

So im putting the ssd15 in a 3.5-4cuft box. Tuned to around 32... do i really need 4-4" round pvc ports? Could 3 6" ports work? Or is my math way off?

I really want a 18, extremely bad but I have been lead away from it due to trunk space. My question is, if I put a SSD 18 in a 5.5 cuft box how would it sound compared to a SSD 15 in a 3cuft box. I wouldn't have a problem fitting the 15 in but the 18 would be a snug fit, but its much more appealing.

Hello guys I have: VW Golf 4 hatchback car 2 x AA Mayhem 15' D1 Skar Audio sk 4500.1d 2 x Crescendo F31-Hp Stock alternator 120A I need advice: Daily box Wired to 0.7 Tuning 32hz What surface area of port ?

space problem in my trunk i can create a box with external dimensions: 28x16x40 inches. It means 9.8cuft. I have 0.8' wall thickness and remain 8cf Vb for speaker. In this case i have 5.5-6cuft for speaker and 1.5-2cuft for port. I know for one 18' sub i need 7cuft , but my question is: I can create a box with 5.5-6cuft ? I can tuning it at 30Hz and works properly ? (If not i buy 15' and i create optimal box) thanks

ok im trying to help out my homie. he wants to get 1 15'' ssa icon... can you run that on a jl audio 1000/1v2 amp? thanks

I'm trying to make a descision between these 2 subs. I plan on running only 1, off of 1500 watts rms. I can make any electrical upgrades that are necessary. I drive a Dodge Ram 1500 Quad-Cab, so space is somewhat of an issue. I currently have a box with 2 12's taking up 2 of my back seats, and would like to try and free up some more space. I have heard that the Sundowns do well in smaller enclosures. My main goal is to hit lows, get loud, and sound smooth. I listen to rap/hip hop and Chopped and Screwed music. Any personal experience with either of these subs is appreciated.

i THOUGHT about doing a wallor none wall enclosure in my car with three 18's of four 15's...does 18's have the same accuracy as a 15? i know it will play deeper because of the cone area..and yes i did search

I've got two 10" kicker L5s in my extended cab ranger right now, running off an SAE-1000D amp and it's not loud enough for me. I prefer something that sounds good, and I don't compete so I need a sub for a daily driver. Trying to stay around $250 per sub, I was looking at the Elemental Designs 16Ov2, SSA Icon, Mach5 IXL or possibly the AA Arsenal. Both the eD and the IXL stand out to me, I've heard some favorable things about them. I aim to buy one now and run it ported off around 1000W RMS, and add a second later when I get another SAE-1000D strapped (1800W). What would you recommend I get and why? I'm ready to buy now, I am selling my current 10s locally to pay for t…

Im looking for two 15's that will do well in 4 cu.ft. sealed after all displacements, preferably on the cheaper side. Im not sure when the new icons are coming but i have 1 blown 15 that I could recone and buy another 1. Any advice?

My current box is 16cf net. with 232sq inches of port area, it was built for four 18's The first set of subs eD 19ov.2s [ pros] accurate, clean bass deep impact [ cons] weak suspension second set up audioque hdc3 18's [pros] durable, and veryloud [cons ] sounds like horse ass, lowend sounded hollow. Now i'm lookin at SSA X con. Just wanna know should i swap out 18s or build a new baffle and step down to 15's since my air space is limited for most 18s. I'm not an spl fiend nor an sq purist i just want a daily set that pounds hard and sound great at the same time btw my ports on my box is tuned@33hz

looking to use 2 Mach5Audio MAW-15's or 2 mj-18's in a downfiring sealed box for my ht. power would be coming from a behringer rack amp. what size box would be recommended for either set-up . thanks

so i have 2 old school rockford fosgate's im looking to get them reconded and back in tip top shape were is the best place to get theses done at. Im looking for more info about them what are they and what year are they.

I'm wanting to build an enclosure for my 15" Ascendant Audio Arsenal. I haven't decided between ported or sealed yet, but I was looking for some suggestions on size for a sealed box or size/tuning for a ported box. About the only thing I've considered is I'd like it to be reasonably small as possible. I would also like tight, punchy, controlled bass as I mainly listen to rock. I sometimes listen to rap/hiphop/bass/techno (you know, the boomy music) every once in a while so I'd still like it to be able to hit. Can you give me a few recommendations on box size? I created a thread here, but it seems to have not been noticed http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showto…

I just bought a 15" FI BLT sub from a buddy, and was playing it in my tahoe today when the tahoe filled with some and noticed the sub was on fire..... we put it out with a water hose before it burned anything else my question is will recone fix it? or is there more that has to be done?? :-(

I'm trying to decide if I should go with (2) 15" BTL's or (2) 18" BTL's? Its only about $60 more to go with both 18's over the 15's but i would be using the same rms going to them. what size sub would sound better/louder being they both are getting the same amount of power/rms? Pre-orderig a Sundown-SAZ 4500D

I got a 15" in my saab 9000. it sounds unreal. but my problem is, my saab broke down (needs a new head gasket = about $2000) so i got some time before i get a new car/get it fixed and am trying to find a way to either sell my 15 and get a 12 (or 2) or trade someone. If i were to sell it, what do you guys think would be a good price? i got it this summer and have been very nice to it. sounds great, but i like the sound of 12's a little better (the 15 is just a little bit to low for a lot of my stuff.) but for the stuff that is low enough, it sings. def wanna stay with si
