Subwoofers / Speakers

Hey guys havent been on in awhile but since then have decided to change my set up. Right now I am running a Lethal Injection 12 at 600wrms. I was thinking about using my amp to it's full potential and getting 3 sa-8. I have a SAX-1200D. Ok now on to my actual question. My wiring options are either 1.33333.... ohms or .5 ohms. Which ohm load would be better for my amp? I feel with the 1.3 ohm load the subs wont be seeing full power and I feel with the .5 ohm load I might ruin my amp. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

just got my 04 reconed re xxx and i noticed when ups dropped it off the box wasnt in great condition so i looked inside and the sub is fine except for a couple spots on the surround where it looks like it was chafing on the cardboard box, i can take a picture if you guys want but it is very unnoticeable and prob hard to see in a pic, it isnt gouged at all just some surface rub just wanna kno if this will become a problem

hey guys..i dont want to start another "which would be louder thread", so im not going to. But i was just wondering, comparing a DC Level four 12 to a DD 3512, would they be similar in terms of performance? Thanks again.

I want to get something like a single 12 or 10 and a 500 watt rms amp. Been looking at the store on here and cant seem to match anything. Ive always had jl, and had a 12 w6v2 with the 500 watt slash amp and liked it. I want to see if there is a cheaper alternative (there has to be) i like the look of the sundown amps, but 1200 watts is the smallest, yikes. any ideas. I was thinkning maybe the dual 10 setup they have in the store. I think its 2 10" dcons or something with the 125.2 amp. Any other ideas. Not looking for tons of bass, just some smooth low end to put in the car.

I want to get rid of my factory speakers, at least the front ones for now (in the future, ill get another pair for the rear). I originally intended to go for the alpine type X, but then started digging more choices and ended up with a few recommendations. These included image dynamics, diamond audio, and the alpine type x themselves. Now, I have heard the Image dynamics are REALLY GOOD. Easy choice over the type X. And the diamond audio are just too much ($650 for a pair of speakers are not attractive to me, sorry thats just way over the line). So basically I have narrowed it down to image dynamics. They will run passive (for now), but later I will be using a SAX-100.4 to…

Lately I've been thinking about upgrading my front stage and decided that is what I'm going to do. Currently I have one set of Image Dynamics CTX65cs and I love them. I'm thinking I want to go ahead and just add another set up front. I noticed an online store actually sells the mid-range and tweeter separately and I've read some random stuff about running them actively. Does anyone know if this is indeed possible and where I would crossover the speakers\tweets at? If this sounds like a bad plan I'm open to suggestions. I found a nice set of pods for my doors that allow a 6.5" driver, 4" driver, and a 2" tweet. I've also read that setting up a 3-way to sound good can be re…

Plan "A" didn't work out so I need help with forming a plan"B". Plan "A" was to be a single 10" dcon under the passenger side rear seat. Can get the required airspace(.9 net) for the dcon but just cant get the depth to mount it. The sub could be installed but the magnet would literally be sitting on the back of the enclosure or the cone sitting on the floor. I used the search function and see some recommend shallow mount subs while others recommend running eights. In the posts I read there were mixed reviews on the performance of the shallow mount subs while the eights seem to be fairly popular. I would definitley consider the Sundown Sa-8 but I'm not sure I could…

well my subwoofer fund for a 15 went up to the 300-350 range cuz i dont wana be dissapointed, and i was wanting to know which would sound better and still have mad bass between the aq hdc3 and the fi bl ran off a hifonics 1600d? in a box at 4cubes and hopefully 32hz if not 30hz. and input will be greatly appreciated thnx in advance ~Bill

Hi I recently installed a pioneer deh4200ub head unit in my car. It is a nissan altima without the bose system. I currently have 2 pioneer 6x9s in the rear deck and 2 5.25 speakers in the front door and 2 tweeters on the front door as well. Their at the same level as the side mirrors if you know what I mean. Anyway the speakers in my front door seem to rattle and I am just not happy with the SQ. I would like to upgrade to something alittle nicer. I am fine with the pioneer 6x9s in the back though. I am more concerned with the front because from what Ive read here that is the most importan part as far as SQ goes. I was thinking of buying Diamond Audio D3's. They make them …

Anyone live in michigan on here??? i need my system installed

hey everyone. i am looking at doing my front setup very soon and i would like opinions on component speakers. i will most likely be getting the Sundown SAZ-100.4 amp.(or the 125.2)really trying to decide if i wand sound in the bak. im thinkin i do. becuz i dont want to completely screw my friends while listenin to music. i have 6.5 speakers in the doors. and tweeters in the armrest(all stock) in the back, there are 6x9's and tweeters.(stock as well) its a 1994 Toyota Camry Wagon. so...let the opinions flow. how are these Image Dynamics CTX65CS 's ?ive been reading on them and they seem good overall. opinions? ALSO, can i get them any cheaper from another authorized dealer…

how does the XCON compare to audioque HDC3 subs as for as overall sound. looking for my next sub for a trunk car system

Doing some testing for couple compaines but MAINLY for myself. Vehicle is a 2000 S-10 ext cab Xtreme. Still have lots of subs to try, and things to do to current ones. Sundown Audio NSv2 D1 with SPL coil- 3900rms, 151.3 @ 43hz Sundown Audio NSv1 D2 coil- 2300rms, 149.5 @ 45hz Atmos Exo D2 coil- 1600rms, 149.7 @ 44hz Cascade Omega- 1800rms. 148.4 @ 49hz Incrimintor Audo Warden- 3200rms 152.0 @ 43hz DC lvl4 xl with Spl coil- did not clamp, 151.0 @ 43hz This was just after one day of testing fast as possible to keep tempature and conditions close to same as possible. Lots more on the way!

Hello everyone, I'm curious about 12s that could work great in a mid sized ported box 1.5 cubes - 1.75 cubes each powered by a Sundown SAZ1500D. So far what caught my eyes is a pair of DC Level 3 12s or a pair of Sundown SA 12s.

i have an ascendant audio atlas 15 and a shocker sig 12 that i need recones for. who would i talk to to get recones for these subs?

anyone know the recomended ported box size or if you own one what size and frequency for tuning u use im thinkin maybe a khaotik enclosure but cant find box specs

just wondering if anyone has had experience with audioque mids and highs along with there 4 channel amp

i will be putting a system in my wifes chrysler 300 and i was leaning towards audioque sdc 2.5 and a audioque 1200d, i will be using 2 subs in a ported enclosure, my question is how do audioque's hold up against say ssa or incriminator 187's

i am looking to get my system started and i am looking for a idea for a amp for 2 12inch xcons... please help... u can email me would be nice at [email protected] thanks for the help

I am looking at upgrading the components in my doors and I have narrowed it down to these three components. I cannot demo the 165XL because no one around me has any on their demo board. I am wanting to know what you all recommend as far as midbass and accurate sound reproduction which are the better speakers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lookin to buy some really good 6x9. Spending limit is 200 at the most. Need some help picking out my 6x9 speakers

i have been looking around on the ssa store and am intrested in gettin 1 15inch sub in a ported box. i saw that the packages are alot cheaper than buying seperatly. which package is better for spl the xcon or sundown nightshade D2 both with a saz1500d. the xcon package is 819 and the sundown is 899.

I walked into a local stereo shop looking to get some carpet for a speaker box and they had an Eclipse Titanium 15". I had not seen one of these in a few years. They were asking $250 for it, it was an old floor model I believe. Is that a good price for one of these? I recall they were quite a bit back then. Would $250 be worth it? I was getting ready to re-install my 12" Soundsplinter RLP into my new car and saw this and gave me second thoughts.

So, I knew starting to read more on car audio again would get me in trouble, so.... Looking at convincing my wife to let me maybe get an 18" sub for myself for christmas. This will be going into my extended cab chev s-10. Will be using a JBL GTO 601.1 amp to push it (600 watts at 2 ohms) (reason for the amp is, I already have it, and if I can even manage my wife to OK the purchase of a new sub she will never go for ok'ing a new amp as well) Looking at doing a 6 cubic foot enclosure slot ported tuned around 32 Hz Was looking at either the Ascendant audio Chaos 18 (dual 1 ohm coils) or possibly the Fi SSD 18 (again dual 1 ohm coils) Both call for up to 800 watts rms, an…

I was hoping some of you guys could help me, I am looking for a couple of 12's and an amp for my truck The truck is an f-250 diesel, and I previously had 2 12's ported through the bed, and this is the way I'd like to go again so I can fill the big hole in the cab. I'm more concerned with sound quality than overall SPL. I like what I have read about the FI Q's, and am leaning towards those, but am open for other suggestions in the same price range. I am also looking for a low to mid priced amp to go with these subs. I am looking for a reliable combination that won't be pushing the subs on the ragged edge all the time. I don't think my installer performed any electrical …
