Subwoofers / Speakers

Looked around and got a bunch of mixed answers but I'll regurgitate what I have. 1. It fools the speaker into thinking the box is bigger than it is. 2. It makes the interior of the enclosure hotter. 3. When used in ported boxes it slightly lowers tuning. On to my questions/possible misconceptions. 1. Does that mean the speaker is louder?...Or does it play lower or what? I'm confuzzled. 2. Does that lower the thermal power handling of the speaker by hindering it's cooling capabilities? 3. My box is sealed sooooo...nvm And before anyone tells me not to mess around with it, my box is sealed and too small (I forgot to account for sub displacement) and plus I'm running about h…

Just curious, I'm looking to poach a few ideas off of you.

I have 2 boxes in my trunk. Each identical, like the picture above. My boxes are around 1 cubic foot, with these 2 ports tuned around 33hz each box.. There inside a 2000 Ford Mustang Vert, and there the best I can do. my best response is around 35-45hz in the cabin. My amp is a kicker 750.1 running around 800 or so rms, cleanpower. My current subwoofers, 2 Kicker CVRs. There great subwoofers, but im looking for more, an I know people I can sell them to so I can get a decent return on them. Im looking for the best 10 inch subwoofers I can place in these boxes to get the most out of my system. I am not sure how well different subwoofers preform in different enclosures,…

alright, un doing a job for another cheap ass with a DONK car...... he wants 4 15's ... and wants to spend no more then 125 a sub...... .. o yeah.. he also wants to "bang" and thay have to look shinny cause he wants to invert them....... these poeple make me sick...... any ideas..... my first thought was maw 15's... but there sold out.

Hey everyone, Just registered up for the forum today, seems to be all great people here, and that is why I’m coming to you guys for some help. To get straight to the point I will describe my situation. Vehicle: 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart This vehicle does have a fair size trunk, well for the size of the car. The only thing that is really keeping me back from doing what I want [2 12" Ported] is the trunk opening. As of now I have 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P2's in a sealed 2ft^3 box. I have a 4ft^3 slot ported box tuned to 31.5Hz made for these woofers, which I used in a previous vehicle, but this box will not fit in the Ralliart. So first things first: I can not fit an…

Just something to wet your appetite.

Almost done. Its going in a Durango. The first TLine I've designed and built myself.

I figured I would share... I bought these a few months back dirt cheap. I was planning on using them in my car, but they are just too damn big for my doors. I wanted a bit more bottom end up front then my Hertz Milles were delivering. I love the Mille tweet, but I missed the bottom end of my CDT ES-06s. Anyways, I took some shots of it next to my ES-06. A single Anarchy weighs in at about 8 pounds apiece. For comparisons sake, the box with both my ES-06s weighed in at 6 pounds. I thought the ES-06 was huge when i first got them. Bigger then any other 6.5 mids I can recall having my hands on by a long shot. Without a doubt they are the heaviest mids, by a mile... I figured…

I know that Bob has had the 15 since wed, curious to hear if he got some play with it yet. Along with how the 12 is going. any updates????

Im just tryin to see how loud decibels are from 120, 130,140, and 150. I think a while ago someone told me that 130db's was like gettin hit in the chest and its very hard to breathe at 150. Is this true? Can someone give me examples of each range of decibels.

How about a little history lesson on Blues? How did they start? Who was involved? What happened to the line when SoundQuest (Way before AAMP/Stinger) bought them out? When they decided to bring the Blues lineup back? I am very interested as I always liked the brand when I was a kid back in the 90's. P.S. Let's get Ray on here to spill the beans on Blues and Linear Power.

Hello everybody I'm trying figure out what would be a good spl subwoofer that i can throw in my 2003 chevy tahoe i got 1k saved for subs cant fig out should i go with 4 12's 4 15's OR 2 18's I only got a 48"x48" space because im keeping the rear seats in taking out the tired row only 48x48 i can do 6 12s or 4 15's maybe 3 18s If i wanted to..... So the dilemma is what brand i wanting to spend any were from 350-400 per a sub Fi BTL Re audio even tho there not like they used to be soundqubed DD sundown

Alright lets first start off with I have gone through about 20 different woofers (talked about) and still have not picked one to install yet. I went from 18's to a single 15 back to 18 then to 4 10"s now it seems I am stuck once again. I am putting all this inside of a 2002 VW Passat GL with a 120 amp alt. The trunk space is roughly 40w x 18h x 42d. Now I have enough room to fit a 18" in there but not enough room to allow adequate airflow. Well that's fine so lets downgrade to a 15" or 12" or 10". First I was talking with Shizzz and we decided on 4 10" sd2.5's. Would allow for more cone area than a single 18 and therefor move more air. But here is the problem, I would als…

I recieved my xcon 15" a week ago, and Wow! where do I begin? After obsessing over craftsmanship (simple yet eye catching) I ended up using a 3.2 cu. ft. enclosure tuned to 30hz. This beast is powered by a 1000/1 (4 ohms) and a nak for the sound source. If there's a way to describe how hard and clean this thing pounds, It's bruce lee kicking you spot on your chest with the music. This is a great subwoofer, I've heard W7's and this one takes the cake especially at its price. Enough talk here's some photos: My ride quick comparison to alpine type r 12" Boxed, carpeted, ready to thump! I would like to thank Aaron, Mark, and the rest of the people at this company for excel…

So I think this has been asked before but I'm not sure my search worked well enough just found 4sale stuff with it mentioned... My Xcon was in extra awesome condition.... Found out that today my father was moving stuff in their garage and boom he calls me to say he thinks he hit it with a piece of plywood he was moving ... There is now a puncture/tear about 1/3 of an inch maybe less.... What can I use to fix it/glue it? I know I don't want to "melt" the surround material with normal glue but what should I be using? The subwoofer won't see any action for a while so cure time is no issue..... Let me know.. Sad that this fcking subwoofer was sitting in that garage 8…

My current system is (2) 15" AA SMD (2) SAZ-3500D (4) 7" AA Carbon Fiber (1) SAX 4.100D (4) XS Power D3100 (1) DC Power 320Amp Alt. The power range in the tweeters i'm lookin in is roughly 80-150rms. I am looking into Seas right now, as i was recommended to them by a few people and i've heard Marks and they sound great, but last time i checked.. Marks were sold out. FML. I am considering Super Tweeters also though, because they will get stupid loud. My budget is 100-200 total for tweeters. What i'm looking for is tweeters that will get really loud, so it will have a standing chance with my sub stage. I recently had (2) complete Alpine Type R component sets, REALLY loud b…

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 just recently bought a pair of IVX 12's on impulse because of the sale, ha. They're rated at 300 rms, conservatively (As stated on their website). I've also heard that Skar is just booming like crazy, and getting all sorts of comp wins. Anyways, anyone here have any experience with how much clean power the IVX's can take?

So I see theres a subwoofer that comes in a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm version. I believe a 2 ohm version would be easier to run and most D class amps are compatible with lower ohm rated subwoofers? So is the only reason between the versions, based on which amplifier you have? Just trying to understand this. Thanks! Also, yes I did buy an Acura TLX 2017 tech. With the ELS speaker system. It sounds pretty good but is lacking in quality bass. It has an 8 in subwoofer which sound distorted and horrible. I'll first start by getting a decent subwoofer and then speakers later. Edit: also what SSA sub would be comparable to the JL 12w6 and one comparable to the JLw3…

so i spoke with my dealer today, and to anyone who is not informed of this new information... please enjoy DD will be decreasing production of the "Holy Grail" 95Z. the reason is to make it more rare. They will be discontinuing the 91Z and 9Z series completely "I BELIEVE" they have now opened up an option called "Supercharge". this option you can apply to most motors and will increase the gauss AN UNGODLY AMOUNT! also the option will be available for neo slab subs, "Fi style" DD has launched that they now own the 3rd largest magnetizer in the U.S. which is why i believe the options will be available. looks like the 9500 H is about to become one of the baddest subs... als…

i have 2000 rms to play with and im still trying to decide b?w 2 dc level 4 15" dual 4ohm OR 2 Kicker L7 15" dual 4 ohm? any suggestions will be appriciated. thanx............

Well during our testing tonight we had ... a development. We tested two prototypes tonight and when we took the second prototype out the motor fell off. The prototype that survived was our mid-line prototype that we got in a few days ago. And in case I haven't posted about it, we are coming out with a mid-line speaker. They'll be available in 10's and 12's. So yeah, here's some pics. The first two pics are of the busted driver and the third pic is of our new mid-line 12.
