Subwoofers / Speakers

This guy at this car audio shop dropped kicker line because he said Memphis Subs were louder is that true? He's selling me 2 15's Memphis PR's with a Ported Box for $289.. Will these be louder than the L7's? or CompVR

I've been going back and forth between what subs to get for about a year now, and still have no idea what to get. So my ? is, what is everyone's def of sq, meaning whats the difference is sound? Between the audioque hdc, ia dp, nightshade, xcon, everyone wrote back xcon ftw, but when I look on audioque's website, they have a guy winning sq comps, Nick at ia said they have ppl running dp for sq, I've read nightshades were better than those two, and the xcon would have the best sq, but mabye not have the spl as the others??? I think the sub will go as low as the fs?? maybe lower, so the xcon ftw.... but I want to make sure its the loudest as possible too. I'm guessing I w…

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!

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:

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

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?

I started a thread a couple weeks ago but I butchered my questioning so bad that I wasn't able to get the response I was looking for so I'm gonna try again. Anyway, what frequency is the foot pedal of the bass drum typically played at? If possible, I'm wanting my sub to maximize that frequency, as I love the short kicks in the back of my seat, and minimize the other frequencies of the long bass notes that, when played with too much volume, drown out my mids/highs. I have an RL-p12 in 1.35 cu ft sealed w/ a JBL 1200.1 (1200wrms). I'm willing to build a new box if need be. As of right now, I've lowered my LPF on my amp all the way and tried to play w/ my crappy 3 band eq…

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)

i have recently been looking to get some components! i have an Fi Q 15" which has been in a couple of months now getting on really well with it no complaint! but my mid woofers are destroyed i have to have the sub just so i cant here them rattling lol! anyway had a quick browse round on a budget of about 150 (pound) Focal Access 165 A1 JL Audio Evolution TR650Csi Hertz Energy ESK 165.3 Thanks any input will be helpful

Well first off, howdy to all. Just joined the fourm and im sure i have some friends here from sin. What i was wondering was how many people here have inverted their sub? Nick told me the basket would grow on me a long time ago and it did. Has anyone else seen a sub with the same basket?

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

So i bought pioneer ts d1720c and the tweeters are pretty harsh. I have them mounted buy my side mirrors. They aren't directed right at me but they are pretty close to me. I have them wired at -3db on the crossover as well and running off of my head unit at the moment. They also get pretty distorted in my opinion if i turn my stereo up at 27/35 (35 is the loudest it gets) Should i try different mounting spots? I have also read some bad things about these tweeters but i understand its all about the install and tuning.

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

> All new design < Now I am no ScottA or NickM or NickW etc. nor do I claim to or try to be, so I am curious as to how a certain someone came up with this in a working format, or is this another fancy wording job?

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.

ok maybe not so spyish, but what the heck, I had a camera and i was bored. I took an AVI of the 54 with a strobe light, its probably one of the coolest things to look at if you are into high excursion design. Its literally like watching high excursion in very slow motion. I have to edit the video, but I'll post it soon. TC3k next to an LMS-54 proto. (the 3k is 46 pounds and thats the small one) The cursed RE 4" vc desytoryer we tried to recone twice, this one is waiting a third top assemlby tomorrow. No more fixing RE's, lol. the 5400 is on the right again.

I have a JBL gto 1200.1 II amp that puts out about 1100 watts at 2 ohms. Right now I have 2 Orion HP 12s in 1.2 cubes each and they sound ok but I would like a louder setup that'll have good sq. I'm considering a different pair of 12s sealed or a single 12 ported. I've always ran sealed setups with 12s and I'm thinking of trying a pair of ported 10s. Can a pair of ported 10s get louder than and have good sq like a pair of sealed 12s? Right now I have 2 Orion HP 12s sealed.

So right now I have an alpine type-r 10" sub in a sealed box. Im planning on buying another alpine type-r, would it sound weird if i put it in a ported box? Or should I just have it match the other sub in a sealed box? So basically, 1 sealed & 1 ported vs 2 sealed whats your input? Thanks

okay here is the deal I have the zcon 18" in a 7 cubic box tuned to 33hz and I am pushing this woofer with a SAZ3K. The gain is put to match the radio and I have it tuned accordingly. Every Time I turn my radio up to full tilt the MASSIVE BOOM COMES FROM THE BACK! I dont know what it is but it is pushing a ridiculous amount of AIR through out my car and is making all the cars within a 7 car radius very upset with me. But thats only where the problem starts. The OUTPUT on this woofer with 3k is just so PURE my ears almost cant handle it. but the problem doesnt even start there!!!! HERE IS THE PROBLEM! THIS WOOFER LOOKED AT ME TODAY AND SAID I WANT I DIDNT KNOW THEY COULD…

Hi I am getting close to getting all the pieces to start my build and now it is down to the door speakers. It will be in a explorer and ran off a Kicker zx650.4 I have decided to get 2 pairs of MLI-65s for the front and rear. Does anyone know some tweats that could match them good? Price is the main concern but am willing to spend an extra dollar if it's worth it. Also would I need a crossover and could someone point me to a few worth the price. Thanks for any input! Car will/has Pioneer avh4000d Roll of raamat 2 12" SSDs 08 kickerzx.2500.1

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?

I haven't heard much about these subs and are curious about them for a friends vehicle. Was just wondering how these subs are and how they compare to other subs in there power range? Like the RE Audio SR's, DC Sound Lab Level 2's, SS RL-i series and AA Assassins? My friend is looking for a good pair of 12s to power off a 600 watt Kicker amp. He wants it to get loud and sound clean in a ported enclosure. The Dcons look promising but I haven't heard much feedback about them since they were released.

Hey i have my amp wired to my sub, but how do i wire my sub to the box. there is an outlet that is capable of wireing it in, but i dont know how. also what should i use to attach my sub to the box.http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i217/lig...22/DSC00582.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i217/lig...22/DSC00581.jpg thanks

A few months ago I replaced all speakers in my car. I have 4" pioneer TS-A1072r speakers in the front doors and 6.5" Pioneer TS-A1673r on the rear deck. The rear speakers are fantastic but the front ones are extremely quite in comparison. The front speakers are also a lot quieter than the crappy stock speakers. At normal listening levels the majority of sound is coming from the back speakers. The front speakers only reach a reasonable level after turning the volume up more than halfway. Since my headunit only has one output (which i'm using from my sub amp) I cant adjust the fader without it affecting the sub. This was my first time installing speakers. On the rear speake…
