Subwoofers / Speakers

So over the last 2 years I pre-planned my van build making it clear that I don't want 30Hz-60Hz. That I must have as much 30Hz on down output as possible, but 60Hz on up would be nice as well. With only 1 HO alt, I was able to sort of get by by having my subs LPed at 31.5Hz. Less information to re-create, more power for the narrower band... and that narrower band is very high excursion (low frequency) for more cone motion to keep things cool with a clipped signal. Well I'll be getting 2 more HO alts, so I can bring the LP up to 100Hz where it should be, as I finally moved my 6.5's HP up to 100Hz. But my excursion problem, as predicted, is 25Hz-45Hz, and I want to take …

So I have read around a little and I have talked about it before, I need a mid-bass/woofer that can do 50hz-100hz/120hz just as loud and viscous as my 15" xcon can hit 30-50hz. I have run across the Aurasound NS10-513-4A 10" which seams like it may work, but I want more opinions. It can be of any wattage, it needs to be 10" or smaller I'd prefer a 8" but i'll do 10" if it is what it will take to hit those db's, and the enclosure whether it is ported or sealed needs to be less than 1 cu ft. I want great punch, I want to feel the drums in my chest, my old sub (kove armageddon) could hit these notes at around 135db and i miss the feeling of it.

black frame #70 SMD now all got to do is make a nice enclosure for this 18" baby .......

Hey wuts up? i been lookin at these two subs as a upgrade over my 15 inch comp vrs plan on runnin a saz 1500d to the sub outta an escalade not worried bout box size since i plan on it bein fairly big anyone have any opinions on what they would prefer and why. thanx sry if i sound like a noob askin the typical "what is better" question but i have no experience with either

i have a 91 honda prelude si and im looking to get better sound in my ride. right now i have a eclipse cd5030 headunit and im going to be getting a 2 set of crescendo audio tweeters. i was wondering what would be a good mid woofer or coaxial speaker to use with the tweeters. i listen to all kinds of music but most of the time its rap.

how far does the port of your sub box need to be away from the back gate of my suv? the box would be subs up port back,thats the way my current box is setup and i have about 6" between. the new box im planning may be a lot closer,just want to know if there is a poit that is to close and affect my sound.

I just noticed the new Pioneer Stage 4 line on the Crutchfield website and they are very expensive for anything pioneer that i have seen. I have a Pioneer Premier headunit (cant remember exact model) and i love it, it has all the features i could ask for so that is so different about this new HU and the new speakers? According to pioneers website they are an audiophile grade set. does anyone have any experience with them and know if they are worth the money?

I purchased an old btl 12, and im looking to get a new btl 12? Can i use these two subs together?>

I see a lot of sub comparisons but I haven't seen this one. Which would you choose for a pure sound quality setup. 1 Treo SSp 10 in a 1.3 cu. ft ported enclosure 34hrtz. 2 Fi SSD 10in. in a 1.85 cu. ft ported enclosure tuned to 35hrtz. 1 FI BL 10in in a 1.3 cu. ft ported enclosure tuned to 34 hrtz. 2 Fi Q 10in in a 1.85 cu. ft ported enclosure tuned to 35 hrtz. The Treo I know will fit but I am not sure about the FI Q or BL because the motor is so wide so I am asking about all of the ones I am considering. These will be going under the rear seat of my 2010 dodge ram crew cab.

Not looking for anything spectacular, just something decently loud with decent sq that gets low for around 150. This will be going in a suburban so there is plenty of room. I was thinking about 1 15" RE srx? Or maybe even a 18" dayton classic? Just looking for some cheap bass, nothing extravagant.

I currently have 2 Kicker Comps 10" (lol, I know) running at 150 RMS each in a sealed enclosure. I have a Fi BL 12" on the way that will be powered by a Sundown SAE 1200d in a ported enclosure. Just curious as to how much of a difference there should be? Should be a lot, hopefully. I realize there is a lot of variables that involve this. But just ballpark it.

I'm looking to purchase 2 Fi BTL 12's, but i have no clue what an "I Heat Ring" is. I want to power these subs really good, do i need the I heat Ring?

So i had 2 l7 12s under my back seat... it was weak... so i took the backseat out and i told my buddy brian to build me a box (brian owns and manages evolutiuons car audio Lone Grove, OK) but anyways, i was expecting a huge box, instead he said 2 ported boxes at 3.3 cub would create the loudest setup at all possibilities. ill be pushing the l7s with a kicker 1500.1 zx. how loud am i looking? as far as DB wise... and was his plan correct??

Can someone describe to me what the Bl/Bl curve of a subwoofer is? I've heard it determines the SQ of the driver.

Hey, i've been looking for days on the internet but there are just too many subs to choose from. I asked about what subwoofer would be best for me on another forum but lets say they werent very helpfull. So im looking for a single or 2 subwoofers (dont know what's best yet) for in my car. I got a kind of low budget but i just want to get some nice bass. It is for daily use btw, if it matters. I live in The Netherlands, so im not sure if all subwoofers can be shipped to here. So, what i found yet: http://www.pimtensen.nl/shop_details.php?grp_id=6&sub_id=18&cur_id=7117 (Is it any good because it costs only $66??) Or something like this: http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/pr…

Is it possible to easily mod the SSA DCON 12 to have a higher resonance frequency, say 39Hz? I know some subs appear to allow this by simple dust cap replacement (replace the stock dust cap with a lighter one).

After tons of delays, and lots of waiting, the Daber Audio SQL DVC 12 is now ready. I will post more pics tonight as well as T/S specs. I know you guys have probably seen the below pictures, but I wanted to post them again as a reminder. :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

I have been in contact with many, many companies over the last few weeks. Companies that sell drivers, customize them, sell just parts, repair shops, you name it. No one has surrounds capable of more than 55mm one way. I keep getting told excess of 30mm Xmax is easy, 10" and 11" spiders not a problem. But surrounds. Surrounds is the issue. So then I emailed many, many, many companies looking for just surrounds. Stone walled. I am willing to pay $600 per 18"... either 4 for my van, or 6, 2 more for my home theater. $3600 for 6 18's. I'll start vague, Xmax as of right now is no longer a requirement, but this has to be reasonable. I can't have 50mm of excursion that is unusa…

would i be better off gettin 8 AUDIOPIPE TSAR10 10"s on one ap3000.1 at 2 ohms or should i get one aq hdc3 18-a on 2 ap3000.1s the ap3000.1s are rated for 2 ohm stable but i used to run one on .6 ohms daly on a solo x 18 so im sure it would be fine at a little over 1 ohm the audiopipes would be sealed and the 18 would be in a custom built aero port box.. which setup would be better for spl at the headrest thanks in advance

I want to run 2 12" Fi Bls on a Sundown 2500.1, i should order the subs as dual 1 correct? Also, what is the weight of a Fi bl 12"

I'm looking to pick up a 10" for my blazer and two 8"s for a buddy's truck and these seem to fit the bill for our applications, but I can't seem to find any sound reviews from people on here. Has anybody demo'd them or heard them at all? I don't doubt the quality of them as they wouldn't be on SSA if they weren't of the highest quality, but I'm just curious about the SQ, particularly in a small/medium sealed box.

I had a set of jl 12w3's sitting around. I wasn't using them because the surrounds where dry rotted didn't want to throw them away So..... I found a kit for them on ebay. Kit came in today... These babies are going in my Honda..

hey guys! so im in a little stuck. im going to be gutting out my old system and throwing a 1cuft ported or maybe bigger (if i can) under the back seat of my truck. i just went to a shop and they had some demo cars with just one Avionixx amp i believe a 2800m series and one 12" Concept sub of some sort and sounded awesome. its not a crazy set up, but that sounded great to me.. SO has anyone heard of these two brands? i sure havent. would the above set up be any better then the audioque 1200 amp and 10" fi bl i plan on doing? thanks in advance for any info!!

does anyone have any experience with the Pioneer TS-W3002D4? i want to buy 2 of them and have a 1500 watt amplifier. should i upgrade the amp? are they a good quality sub?

I'm extremely interested in a pair of the focal 165 a1s and I went to listen to them at a shop and I was completely blown away... at first. The song started out I gave the guy my own test CD and the mids and mid-bass was awesome it sounded really really good. I have limited experience with listening to different speakers but this is undoubtedly really nice sounding. all things must come to an end however and a sample came in that was very high pitched and those tweeters are very bright. I like a somewhat aggressive tweeter but this was over the top. I still want to get the focals but I'm wondering about changing the tweeter. How would this be done with issues such as comp…
