Frankenwoofer aint scared of nothing! First burp Second burp

AH, my sole is a rest now. My new baby! Now if anyone has a BLACK A404 or 400X and an A1200, let me know! Question is, use this for sub or midbass duty?

I like being able to comfortably fit two golf bags & pull carts in my trunk. A free air install in the rear deck would allow me to retain the vast majority of my cavernous trunk. Having only played with the idea in a large enough wall enclosure that it may as well have been free-air, I'd like to hear experiences. It wouldn't be a huge loss to tuck a 1.5' box in the trunk, so if infinite baffle is more trouble then it's worth, please say so.

I know what BassBoxPro says, I also know its incredibly outdated, thank you though.

I've been researching and learning about bandpass design for the past few months and have gotten to where I feel pretty confident in my designs. I have access to many speakers and a lot of wood for testing but would like to get more designs in the streets to get feedback on. If any of you have been thinking about trying out a new box for your vehicle and would like to give bandpass a try please let me know what woofers, how much power (amp model specifically), and your desired goal. Also measurements for your cargo area with details such as does the depth given allow for a rear firing port etc. Hope to get a few of you to bite, I don't think I'll let you down .

Ok. First of all, this thread is for a free Mag 15 shipped to your door. How you can get the Mag is this: Design us a web page. (the whole thing, not just one page) We are looking to re-vamp our web page and we need someone to design it for us. This is an open contest, anyone can win! Just email me at [email protected] for the design details (what we are looking for) and we'll fire an email back so you can get started on the design. We'll let this contest run for a month, so by the begining of next month we will have a new web page and someone will have a free Mag 15. Thanks! Nick

Hey guys, Nick is offering a drawing on a free Mag! http://stereointegrity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129

Hey, I got a Free P3 from a freind, only problem is that a chunk of the foam surround was missing. I know it can be replaced, but I don't know where I could get the foam, or where I could take it to get it done. I think it'd be a good project to learn how to do it, but I wanna take it to someplace to get it fixed. How much would it cost to get it fixed, and How much would it cost to fix it myself? And what would be involved in doing it? Tim.

Can the Magnum D2 12's be used in a free-air install?

I have an IA 20.1 on order and am thinking of going with two Mag D2 15s for it. I designed a box that is 7 @ 30hz w/ 90in^2 vent area. I was wondering if you guys had tried that type box yet and just how does it do? Does it start to dip after 50hz? I am sure it wil probably ring my bell from 30 - 50hz. I am just worried it won't do much afterwards. About where would you said my 3dB down point would be? Also, I have a goal of a 146+ new TL with this setup Legal on music. 98 explorer....think that is too lofty of a goal?? Thanks :-D -Alex

Well, since the mags went on backorder i went to a shop owned by my cousin, and he hooked me up w/ an L7 12", on a price i couldn't really resist. sooo, after 2 days of hell making my box, i finally put it in the Jeep about an hour ago, and have been able to get an idea of what it can do (turned the amp's gain up to 4v for about 1 min.. JBL 1200.1). I'm using my friends 1200.1, and i'm very suprised at what this sub did for not being broken in, and being in a 2.2 cube box tuned to 43 hz. the box is as close to kicker "street bass" as i can get. :boink: :boink: but wow, this L7 blows the doors off the HC i had in there in terms of output hands down. They were bot…

I bought my first pair of Level 4 12''s... not bad for a 17 year old...i got it super cheap.. well i think they were cheap.. I cant wait till i get my new amp.. havnt got a clue on which one yet.. and on Sunday. was the first day of cruising... trust me... i broke necks left and right haha

my friend wants to know what will be the best option to go with he said he wants it to be loud and low i told him go sealed but i dont know what else to tell him we have the same car 89 caprice its down to three sealed or two ported 15's and i also know that a lot of people not a big fan of sealed boxes so can i have a options and opinions please

Hey Scott, my friend has a Sundown SAE-1000d (1000 x 1 @ 1 ohm) for power and I'm trying to figure out what subs to get. He's running 2 12w3v2's sealed and they're getting about 800 watts total. He's looking for a bit more output and better sound. Well first I was looking at dual 12 setups, and I thought about having 2 SSD's (500 watts each), 2 SE's, or 2 TC-9's. All with 500w each and sealed. A single 12" Q also came to mind. Listens to mostly rap anywhere from 30-75hz. What setup do you think would be best for his power available and more output and SQ?

Hello everyone! I hope my question isn't a stupid one lol. I know a things or 2 about car audio but aren't an expert or a box builder. I currently have 2 SSA dcon 12s in 1.75 cubes each tuned to 33hz powered by a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bdCP. A local shop built the box according to the box recommendations on SSA's site and it sounds pretty good and gets loud for just 500 watts. I can tell from how it sounds like the box was properly built. What I'm wondering is if a pair of SA-12s would be able to use the same box. The recommended specs for the SA-12s is 1.75 cubes per sub. If they could I'd like to get either a Sundown SAZ-1500D V.2 or save money and get an Audioq…

how much more midbass can i expect from going from HU powa to 80rms from a power acoustik ov2 400? i will deaden doors a bit when i install amp, but nothing major like taking door apart, just remove panel and a lil bit deadner, will they sound a lot better, ive alaways used HU power becuase i am cheap, but now finally got an amp, will be here sat day

Hello all, what's good.. I have been running a 2005 RE xxx 15 in a Powered for Sound snail shell enclosure for over 3 years off of a hifonics brutus bx1500d at one ohm. I am pretty sure this enclosure has a tuning of somewhere around 27-28hz...This is the frequency range that my subwoofer moves the least at when playing sine waves. I think 28hz is also the FS of the 2005 xxx 15. Anyway, I am tired of the overly-loud, and sometimes sloppy bass that ported enclosures offer. Time to go sealed. I am going to be using the amp I already have, which provides 1500 watts at one ohm (some claim overrated). After some research I have decided on the following possibilities: - 2 dua…

I am currently building my first enclosure. When it comes to building the double front baffle should I do choice 1 or 2. 1. Should I glue the two pieces together. Then router my hole for my speaker. 2. Router my two holes. Then glue my boards together. Thnaks I know this is a simple just trying to make it easier on myself.

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 am trying to decide between a couple of options for my front stage. Everything is currently factory and will be doing a complete install. I have included the below information per the instructions in another thread. a. Most importantly, the vehicle you are working with -------- '09 Jetta b. Any equipment you currently own and would like to use -------- all factory currently, will installing new head (I think the Kenwood 9140 fits my needs best), amp, front and rear stages, amp and sub c. How far you want to take it modification-wise -------- would like to keep the factory locations for the front and rear speakers. modifications inside the door for speaker fit ar…

Ok so im pretty much getting brand new everything What I have now... HU: Alpine CDA- 9831 Current Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500S And I got a rf 12" sub in the back. Speakers: factory Car: 1997 Honda Accord SE So far I'm planning on.... (havn't bought any of these yet) Im pretty set on the sub and amp, not so sure about the speakers. Subwoofer: 15" SSD w/ copper wire (i want it sealed, but coudlnt find the specs...) $215 ( I might go with the 12") Amp: AudioQue 1200D $240 Front Speakers: im looking at these http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70 They looked like a good deal, but I just want some feedback because I'm pretty new at this. If you…

Hey what's up I'm new here and I'm on here because I have been looking at these two sets of speakers for a few weeks now and I can't decide between the two. The first one is a pair of Focal 165A1s they look really nice and they sound great as far as I could tell in the local shop. I can get those for 300 from them. The other pair is a pair of Image Dynamics CTX 65cs I heard these briefly and they sounded ok and they are super loud I just can't decide if the difference is enough to warrant a 100 dollar price increase for for the Focals. Does anyone have any first hand experience with both of these sets. I'd have either set powered adequately with what ever amplifier I need…

Recently got my D7506 in. Pics are in the amp section if you want to peep them out. This is my question. I'm going top end for my system. I want this to be my last system for a while. I have been into car audio for 15 years and have had some pretty serious installs. I never competed in a competition. My goal this year is to take home at least 1 big ass trophy for a SQ system. I started off with this chit, Audiocontrol MVC, Audiocontrol 6XS (which I may not need with the Diamond - hence 3 seperate fully active butterworth x-over's on the D7506 alone) (2) Audiocontrol EQT's, the D7506, and the D7402. Sub will come later on. This is my question: I currently run a s…

I know this is Hybrid Audios Forums, but i do need some help. I am between three brands for a good sq setup for the front stage in my 1997 Lincoln Towncar. Scan Speak, Zapco, or Hybrid Audio. 8", 4", and 1" is the sizes i have been looking for. I want the best for under $1500.

previous set up was a 2way; sls 8 midbass in the doors w/ a kx250.2 powering them, and a Peerless 830986 on a kicker zx100.2 in/on the a pillars. plus the mj18 ib. hu is a clarion dzx785usb (i think thats the model number irrc) problems with previous setup were that it looked bad and my attempt to fg new pods didn't improve it. it was also lacking the upper midbass region, either the 3 wouldn't play low enough or the sls wouldn't play high enough. im looking to move the midrange to the kick's and add a tweeter to the a-pillars or kicks aswell(if i dont use a full range again). (note: since i had a set of polk tweeters laying around i threw them in the a-pillar to fill …
