Subwoofers / Speakers

I've been reading a lot about those new mids/components coming out, ED's big midbass, Adire's Extremis, RE's XXX 6.5, etc. and was wondering what some people thought of them. Me, personally, I can't wait for the XXX, mainly because I'm a big RE fan, and they are supposed to play from like 60 hz to 4-5khz clean! now that is a feat, but we'll just have to see how good they actually are when it gets closer to release time. Also, that XBL ^ 2 4" "full" range speaker, jeebus, that sounds impressive, but as i said above, we'll have to see. :ph34r:

Here are my babies fr the end of the 04 to 05 season. They are a pair of dB Drive Platinum 10's that are dual 2 ohm. Should be well with about 2k of power of each one. They seemed great for the price and build quality looks decent. Having the box made as we speak. Will get to do some tests with a little power on my Linear X this Saturday (my MECA setup) and get some tests done at the Hurricane Relief show on Sunday (hopefully) with the Audio Control 190. Not going to put the Concepts to the subs yet because of my stock electrical system. I will update everyone when I get some numbers. Anyone have any experience with the dB Drive Platinum's?

I need to know if I can replace the stock 8 inch sub from a 2001 lincoln navigator with the polk momo mm2084 I can't find any ohmage info anything would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I know a few little terms about a subwoofer's specs like xmax, spl, rms...... but what about these fs re qms qes qts mms cms sd vas bl these terms confuse me alot...... it makes my brain shizzle on itself. I would feel alot smarter if I knew what they meant. Thanks in advance ~MadroX

Simple question; without breaking the bank on super high power mids and highs, would front speakers mounted in door (one pair only) be able to keep up with a 4- 15's wall? Wall is on 2k rms, Kicker CVX's. My friend doesn't want to build pods, and I can't tell him my opinion, being a state away. I think his budget for a pair is $400. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't want to put in the work building them lol.

I have built a boxthats tuned to 32 hz,after port and spkr displacement i have 1.0 cu.ft of space left, my question is will this work or will i need to build a different box this is a dual ported box and it is for 2 12 mags new version....also if this will not work how about a sealed dual chambered box with each chamber @2.2 cu.ft.,will this be to big sealed? btw the amp is a DEI2400D(1400watts @ 4ohms, 2400watts@ 2 ohms)

starting a A-pillar and kickpanel build. found these CDT 6.5's for kicks CDT's for kicks with mid level tweeter option CDT 6.5's for kicks with upgraded tweeter and then these for the A-pillars CDT comps for A-pillars what do ya think? or should i stick with the RE 6.5's for the kicks?

Hi I'm relatively new too the car audio world and I have been patrolling this forum for some time now trying too gain more knowledge. Basically I'm stuck trying too decide on what subwoofer I'm going too choose based off space in my car. It's A 2008 Scion Xb I Wanna Keep The Rear Seats Dimensions Are 38x38x16 Im Not Bias On Any Brands And Open Too Any Sizes Just Wanna Get As Loud As Possible And As Low As Possible. I Already Have Mechman Alt Installed 0 Gauge Ran Big 3 Done And Yellow Top Under The Hood And A Hifonics BRZ2400. Budget Is About $1,000 For Subs. Thanks For The Help

Will some of the t/s parameters change after the suspension loosens up?

Alright its been taking me a while to decide a setup. I was lookin into not TOO expensive but also not too cheap. I am not looking for the best SQ out there. Just something that will sound decent and i just wanna make sure this isnt just pure crap. This is what i have come up with. fronts http://cgi.ebay.com/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-SL60-...1QQcmdZViewItem rears http://cgi.ebay.com/POLK-AUDIO-MMC570-MOMO...1QQcmdZViewItem

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

any thoughts on what the best sounding enclosure for these subs are? I would lean towards vented for the boom, what do you guys think, gonna build a box for one soon. I want deep sounds, also some snap when I need it though.

Of these, which would you prefer? Will be running 2 sets on the front of my DLS Ultimate A5. Wont be a ton of power so it will definately need to be efficient. I would like clear sound, good midbass, and definately as loud as possible. This is the rating of my amp, and with 2 comp sets each channel will be at 2 ohms, so around 50rms per speaker. 4 ohms: 85 watts x 2 chan. + 300 watts x 1 sub chan. 2 ohms: 100 watts x 2 chan. + 500 watts x 1 sub chan. These are some of the options I was looking at. What would you pick? Speaker choices and poll us up at ca.com. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=410377

headunit - alpine 9884 seps - polk 6501db amps - rf and sundown 3000 sub - dc audio level 4xl 15" video thank you

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?

Yo.. As of right now I have 2 12" kicker cvrs and a 1000watt kenwood.. And frankly it's jus not enough. Im drivin an 03 Pontiac grand am..budget is not an issue I'll be puttin everything together over time.. I've been doin alot of lookin around.. I've set my mind on gettin 1 15" (daily driver) and I'm goin to upgrade all my eletrical etc . I'm jus havin a hard time finding my sub and amp.. If anyone could thro me some suggestions or maybe even convince me to go a different direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys.

i know both of the subs i want are really good. i just dont know what subs i want yet. its either going to be between the ssa xcon 18s or the sundown 18s. im going for more spl then anything. which one would put up more numbers? this is what i plan on doing to my truck no matter what. i already have the entire cab sound deadened. i have 4 super big interstate batteries to power everything, big 3, dual alts. so which one would be the best option for me?

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

hi guys, would just like to get inputs and possible if i could, get the best for my application. - sub will be in the trunk of a car. - fired towards the cabin through the center arm rest - max box would be 2 cubes, 1.5 cubes or smaller preferred - final impedance of 4 ohms - good for 1k watts of power in 4 ohms - SQ install but has a capability to massage me if i want to crank it up abit - can be tuned to a flat bass sound as much as possible thanks

Now, for a little explaining. We're going to have our logo at the top across the back (where your sholderblades are), which is what "SI" is in the poll above. The first option listed above is to put the text "Subwoofers" under our logo and then start the phrase below that. The second option is just for our logo and then the phrase under that. The phrase that we've decided on will take up the back of the shirt, it's not just going to be a little line on the back. So anyway, put "Subwoofers" under our logo or no? I'm voting no, but the VP votes yes, so the rest is up to you guys.

currently i have 2 12" boston acoustic g5 subs with 2 12" gtr passive radiators running off a mtx 1501D in the spare tire well firing up. im not satisfied with the spl and want something louder. im thinking about taking them out of the spare tire well and removing my rear strut bar and then make a box where the subs can fire towards the rear of the car or fire them towards the cabin since there is only a metal cross brass between the trunk and cabin (2003 mitsu evo 8). since i have the gtr radiators, im also considering firing my subs to the rear of the car and have the gtr radiators fire towards the cabin all in a sealed enclosure (shown in an example on boston's websit…

I am going to buy a 1500W amp and thinking of purchasing a U series Sundown Audio 12” subwoofer, I have a Sound Ordnance BassBunker ported for 1.83 cubic foot volume with 34 hertz frequency. This sub says it needs 2.0ft^3 for ported, will my box be just enough to use this sub or not? I don’t want to really build/purchase new box as I just got this one. Any info would be helpful!

You may have seeen this: ...and this ...and this Well it`s gone! - And I wondered where I had put that Grouting Spreader - It was left underneath the box for some reason :? Smashed up!! What!? A 4"x2" stud partition in the car (mad person)

Got my new Fi bl 12 with a flatwind coil. i had it hooked up to a pioneer 2 ohm amp at like 600 rms. it was making a strange sound that i couldnt detect. maybe the tinsels hitting the cone? but it wasnt flexing very much. it is a dual 2 ohm voice coil btw.
