Subwoofers / Speakers

Just wanted to get an opinion on the best SQ 8's 10's or 12's. I have limited experience with anything above the 200 dollar a sub range. For the sake of arguement lets use a small enclosure 1.5 cubes or less. With 1kw or less

Im currently trying to do a set-up with 4 10's and was wondering what would be a good combo Im looking at going with either Fi Q or BL Or RE SX Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Ok so i have a JL Audio 12w6v2 and a Xterminator 1600.4 amp. My amp handles only up to 4ohms bridged but the sub goes 8 or 2. At 8 it sounds like the amp is pushing out all it can so i think it doesn't sound good, at 2ohms it sounds good but i cant turn it up becuase protection comes on. Is there any way to get the sub up to 4ohms by adding some kind of resistor? Has anybody done this before, if there is no cure i guess i can run my Alpine MRP-M450 which is 2ohms stable but i was trying to see if i could just use one amp. I'm new by the way lol Thanks,

alright. i have totalled up tha cost of four RF p3 15's and a SAZ-3000D and it is in the are of $1700-$2000. i want to knwo of course, if this setup gonna be any good? it will be in a honda crv tuned to about 26Hz and running @ .5ohm and i will set it to about 900-1000w a woofer. will this win me anything but a consolation prize? or will i b reigning champ? i only have enuf for the box for the 15's and the components. none for dynamat or stuff. dont want to do anything permanet to the car bcuz it aint mine, my friend is considering lettin me use his. thanks for any feedback.

I have a 2006 KIA SPECTRA SX sedan. I have HAT Unity U-61 powered by an Arc Audio KS 300.2 amp I have a TREO RSX 1600 amp who is subless. TREO RSX 1600 312 x 1 @ 2 ohm 600 x 1 @ 1 ohm I am looking for a subwoofer that can handle Jazz music? I am not sure which subwoofer to go with that amp. I am not sure if I should do Fi Audio, Incriminator Audio SSA, Boston Acoustics, Image Dynamics or Arc Audio. I am looking for something for under $200 because of financial reasons. I am not sure if I woudl do sealed or ported plus I am not sure if I should go 10 or 12. Thank you.

what differences would i notice with a 12 inch with these differnt box sizes, 1.0CF, 1.3CF, 1.5CF would i loose any sound quality or puchiness as i went bigger? i ask becuase i found a way to make a bit more space in my truck and as you all saw my box design in another post it ended up around 1.25CF after displacement. if you think it will make a "good" difference i can crank it up to about 1.3-1.4CF after displacement.

Just hooked my amp up to mids and highs and the white rca end into my amp is only coming out with sound very quiet and static as hell?if i got new rcas they dont come with the ground wire that came with the ones i got wiith my kit. What do you guys suggest i do? Thanks.

sorry just had to post how damn psyched I am now that the announcement has been made about the new driver sale. I knew it was coming any day now it had been too quiet around here. So now to just figure out 2 things: 1) how/where the hell I am pulling the cash out of my ass for new sub(s) after vacation next week. (hehe... it can be done) 2) do I stick with a single 15??? dual 12s??? or dual 15s???? but of course the whole point of this thread is... NEW SI SUBS ARE SOON TO BE HAD!!!

Hi guys i'm brand new here so take it easy on me. i would like some help. i bought a 15 inch alpine type r dual 4 ohm coils. I got a custum box made for it link is here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=19049 it came out great. what i want to know is if i put 1500 watts rms on it am i over powering it, i know it says its 750 rms but i heard these subs take a beating and are under-rated. i have 1 alpine amp right now that is 750 rms @ 4 ohm and i was going to get another one of the same exact amp, and hook 1 to each 4 ohm coil its a v12 something mono block i forget the model number. please help me out i dont wanna burn the voice coils up thanks a lot…

Just thought I'd give you the heads up on a couple of videos I shot with my buddy's. Tej is now a well known entity on www.realmofexcursion.com, so has loads of movies in the SI section :-D Tej's powerplant is the RFbd1500@1ohm Sound great. Big car too. The other guy is Daniel. His Mag 12" was powered off a Brutus 1500d, which sounded ass Here goes: http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou.../magnum12.9.wmv http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...magnum12.10.wmv There is also another crazy video which I will hopefully post up soon.... ENJOY! :-D

i dont think my car will handle my 1200d amp.. if i switch to a 600-700watt amp will that still get the 15 MAG moving good. any harm done underpowering it?

A month ago i went to a friend and i metered my car with a termlab. The number is impressive! 139.9 at 39Hz!! I didn't expect so much! Here is the foto: The box: ar: nissan sunny '89 sedan 4D no electric upgrades sub: alpine typer 1222d box: 2cf at 32Hz amp: sinus sla 1500 (1500w - 1ohm) HU: alpine 9812rb engine on at 2000rpm, doors windows closed, sensor on the dash

I have an idea what the majority is gonna say but i'll ask any ways. What better for SPL 6 XCON 10'S or 4 ZCON 12'S.

I have a soundqubed hdc3 18 and I cannot find the serial number on it. I have looked all over the sub and also tried to search online for where it is, Does anybody know where it is located?

Hey Everyone. I bought these 8 Inch Peerless SLS speakers a year ago to put in my Neon. I bought them because I was told if I could fit an 8 inch woofer in my door, there was absolutely no reason to go with a 6.5 inch woofer. Well I recently bought a used 2005 Subaru Forester and I can’t figure out any way at all to install my 8 inch Peerless woofers. My question is, would I really loose a lot of the punchy bass that I love if I go down to a 6.5 inch woofer in my doors? My doors will be sealed and deadened. I have 4 inch peerless midranges and seas tweeters that I’m hoping to install in some custom kickpanels. They’ll be running off an alpine H701 for a 3way active w…

I wanted to know how many DB's you all think I can get out of a pair of these subwoofers? American Bass VFL Series DVC Subwoofers Common Features: * Dual 3" 6 Ohm High Temperature Voice Coils. * 1.4" Wide Multilayer Foam Surround for Better Stable Linear Exclusion. * Non-Pressed Black Treated Paper Cone. * Vented Deep Bumped Back Plate * 180 Ounce Double Stacked Magnet Structure * Dual Black Mirror-Image Spiders For Linear Stability. * Sleeved High Power Tinsel Lead Wires to resist Lead breakage. * Blackened Motor Parts for Superior Heat Dissipation & Long Life * Hyper extended Pole Piece Increases Accuracy, raises Induction. * Deep Bumped Back Plate to Increase Power…

Series = longer circuit. Parrellel = shorter circuit. That is all.

Hi guyz, Just wondering if someone has already used one of those? http://www.tymphany.com/products_Tymphany_LAT.html How big should the box be (sealed) for, let's say a LAT 700? Last question, and a stupid one, would those work in an IB alignment? seems like vas and qts are good enough (my guess)... heh

I currently have an older 12 alpine type r 2nd gen. Does anybody think going to a soundqubed hds312 would be an upgrade as a daily driver sub or would it just be wasted money? There is also no mention of the hds312 box recommendation, and I am wondering if it would be ok in a 1.5 cube sealed OR 2 cube ported. I would be running it off of hifonics brz1200.1d at 2 ohms for 900 rms but highly doubt it since stock voltage isn't at 14.4v, so maybe closer to 700?

So i am just wondering wat everyone thinks about the re xxx components? I've heard reall good things about them, i want to buy thoes but i allso like the zapco competition series and i don't know wat to get. So wat should i do buy the RE audio speakers or the zapco speakers. Allso if u have other good quality type of speaker u know of let me know i will look into those too.

My current box is 16cf net. with 232sq inches of port area, it was built for four 18's The first set of subs eD 19ov.2s [ pros] accurate, clean bass deep impact [ cons] weak suspension second set up audioque hdc3 18's [pros] durable, and veryloud [cons ] sounds like horse ass, lowend sounded hollow. Now i'm lookin at SSA X con. Just wanna know should i swap out 18s or build a new baffle and step down to 15's since my air space is limited for most 18s. I'm not an spl fiend nor an sq purist i just want a daily set that pounds hard and sound great at the same time btw my ports on my box is tuned@33hz

A built a new box, very nice. Hopefully you guys like it. Its around 5.5 cubic feet, 78" of port and is tuned to 34 hertz. Paint job is thanks to my lovely girlfriend Maria. Tell me what you think!

Man, I'm impressed by the looks of this thing...I saw pictures and all, but in person is just that much better. Dig the look of the spoked basket b/c you can see a lot of the cone...just gives it a better look, IMO. Chromed motor = I'm surprised by the suspension stiffness, though...seems to me fairly soft compared to the old one? Maybe it'll make the cone move "faster"...help out transient response... It's just too bad that all I have is ~300w @ 4ohms right now...waiting on my Tantrum to arrive. Must...go...install...
