Subwoofers / Speakers

Just looking for an opinion here. I have not used either, but I have a rep that is trying to sell me a W7 for 400 and I've been looking at the XCON, but of course the rep is saying that the W7 is by far better than the XCON. He's stated that he has been a JL rep for the last 7 years and he has yet to hear a sub sound as clean and heart pounding as the W7. With no preference towards spl or sq, what do you guys think the better buy would be, or just give me something for arguments sake. He says that the W7 is a better built product and the research invested into the W7 makes it the better choice. I know some of what he says is true, and I'm getting dealer cost here for the …

Yeah i broke two of them from hitting the bottom of my seat. i had so other 8s in the same box and had no problem but the sa-8s had more excursion than i expected. my fault!. do you think i would have the same issue with the sa10?? i know they move a good bit.. just trying to figure out an option thats gonna work for these...

i need to ship a sub to get it reconed and need some tips on pakaging...i am going to wrap the sub with a bag and spandy foam around it but need tips on what size box i would need the sub is 9" from tip of motor to rim

I have built 2 boxes for these things and both have sounded like trash. I know they require about .6 cubes but I have yet to find the port area that is needed. I used winisd for both boxes and I have an insainamount of port noise the last box has a port 3.25x8.5x39 and I think the port length is to long already and I didn't have enough room for a larger port due to it getting longer. What size box and port should I go with?

I currently have a set of phoenix gold passive components being powered by a teac 100 x 2 amp. The head unit is a JVC KW-nx 7000. A Fi BL 12 in a 2.5 ft^3 box tuned somewhere in the low 30 powered by a Sundown SAZ-1500D make up my low end. I'm interested in going active with my front stage and getting a better amp and components. I want a little improvement in sound, not really trying to win any SQ competitions. the budget is about $200 which I know is low, but I"m trying to plan a wedding and honeymoon and I think the fiancée is probably gonna kill me for even thinking about spending that much . Suggestions?

subwoofer ribbon voice coil manual or repair. thanks .

I need a pair of inexpensive 5.25 for my doors of my explorer. I am gonna have about 60watts per channel. I dont wanna spend over $70 tbh im pretty broke right. The bostons I bought used were blown so I need some door speakers now. What would you recommend? I dont like harsh tweet want more natural sounding. I have had good luck with boston, old school orion, cdt, and image dynamics.

I dont have a dustcap does any one know where i can get one? Ive looked n looked but havnt found one

Is this what I would use for an active setup? My link

So I am a noob here but have done my best to gather all the facts for others to help me with my predicament. I recently pulled out my Boston Acoustics SPZ60's to install that I bought from my bro and found that one of the tweets and coaxial mounts were missing. We both looked around to no avail and now I'm left with buying new tweets and making a component style setup instead of the coax setup I wanted. I have access to Clio sound testing equipment and tested the mid. It operates between 100-2k hz. This leaves me believing I need a tweet that will get at least close to 2k or I will have a big hole in my front stage. My vital info: Tweets will be run off of channels 1+2 …

i currently have 1 dc xl 15... should i buy a second one and do the wall or should i keep this one save the money for more power and do a slot or aeroport box in the trunk no backseat or just sell it for something better

I havent seen a lot about this sub on any forums, or anyone selling them. i found one local BNIB and thinking about buying it. The few people that have em love em, and they look pretty beefy. what do you guys think about the Crossfire XSv2s?

whats the difference in sound, power handling and pretty much overall?..since their made by the same people it makes it hard for me to choose..i dont like the look of the new n2 so im leaning more toward the mayhem..and weight is not an issue..

Hey all. So I was wondering if an AQ2200 would properly power 6 American Bass XD 12's. I have 2 XD's right now and I'm wanting more. Let me know what you guys think please. Thanks and Merry Christmas! HawkEye

im not sure how either one of these subs sound so im depending on you guys to tell me. im not sure weather to go with 2 SA 8" Sundown audio subs OR go with one SA 10" OR im thinking one Fi Bl 10"? not sure what amp yet with the 2 SA 8s or with the one SA 10, but with the Fi Bl 10 i would be going with a Sundown SAE-1200Dv2. which one of these would sound the deepest and loudest to factory recommendations? Thanks!!

Which one do you guys recommend for utilizing in an enclosure to fasten the subs? Also a bolt to match with them??? Going in .75" MDF http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=081-1084 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=081-1082

So I am pretty set on putting 4-12s in my malibu. I have been looking into the AQ HDC3 12s and they look beast as well as the AA Havoc 12s. What I'm looking for with this thread is what sub do you guys think I should go with? I can put each sub in a box about 2-2.5 cubes each, and I will be running a Sundown 2000d on each pair so roughly 1000-1250 watts each sub. The thing with the 4-12 setup is the space, I have 42w, 34 length, and 12-15 Height. At first I was thinking subs up port back would be the best bcz I don't know how I could fit subs back port back with only 42 inches of room? SO yea any ideas on subs and a box design would be great

Any ideas? I was looking at a couple hifonics bxi's but i heard they were just power hungry and not too good.

I'm looking at getting back in to car audio scene again. I haven't been up to date with it. So I have all my stuff picked out and i'm not sure what comps I wanna go with. They will be powered by a Sundown SAX125.2 or my Kicker ZX350.2. I currently have the Kicker. But id rather keep the amps to the same brand, as my sub amps will be the Sundown SAZ-1500D. For the price of the comps $400, but if they are worth it $500 MAX. They must be a 6.5in comp set.

Merry Christmas to me indeed. I got a new Sundown Audio Sax-1200d amplifier, a new Skar Audio VVX-12 Subwoofer, a KnuConceptz 4ga mono amplifier kit, and a custom made 12" Ami-Creations ported subwoofer box for the trunk of my 2005 Honda Civic LX 4 dr. The box is about 1.95 CuFt after sub and port displacement, and the box is tuned to 32 hz. I am planning to run the SA 1200d at 2 ohms to my sub, which should give me right around 750 wRMS. I am extremely excited and am going to perform the install Monday, as i am off work all week for vacation. I have posted some pics below from this morning:

I ran across this video today, and it made me wonder if this guy was talking out of his ass or not. What he's saying does make sense to me, talking about a square has more surface area to push more air out then a round woofer would. But if that was the case, then how come almost no manufacturer on this site even offers a square in any of their lineups? This part didn't make sense to me, because from what this guy is saying, everybody would be designing square woofers right?

ok so i started on my wall the other day goin 3 days strong on it and im gettin close to being finished but cant untill i pick subs so i ask for help.. heres what ive come up with. #1 1 solo x 18 #2 4 aq sdc2 15s #3 2 aq hdc3 15s #4 4 fi x 15s #5 4 aq sdc2 12s #6 4 cvx 15s or 12s cant forget what im leaning torwards the most a dual 2 ohm ia dp 21 with one ap3k to a coil... thats the most liked from myself right now any of those are what im deciding amps will either be an aq 3500.1 or 2 ap3000.1 or possible a used sundown 3k or 2k can get either choice at same price so undecided wall can be from 8 to 16+ cubes ported at around 32 hertz help me out guys comment back w…

Hello everyone! Was wondering if people could help me. I currently have the following... 2 12" JL Audio W3v2 2ohm 1 Rockford Fosgate T1000.1BD I built a 3.5 cu/in ported box for them and they sound fine. Problem is the box is the wrong dimensions for the 2008 Civic Si Coupe. My current available space is.. H = 15" W = 37" D = 18" preferably smaller Those are the MAX dimensions that will fit in my trunk. I am not worried about the opening to the truck as I will build the box in the trunk if I have too. What I am wondering is if anyone has a box build that would work for the SA 12's that would work for my Civic. Just need the outside box dimensions and port dimensions …
