Subwoofers / Speakers

Yep. Every 15" went out the door today at 4:30 PM. I'm going to do my best to get back to everyone through email tonight with the tracking numbers, but I can't make any promisses.

So I was going to purchase a Xcon recone but it occured to me to double check compatability. Since I know designs have changed in the last few years with certain subs. I had to go through all my posts/thread topics to find it since I know I didn't order it directly through the store/website since it was special order. Turns out I purchased my Xcon back in 2011. Would the current recone work for my sub?

Ive Had Some Kicker 15's For A While And Im Ready To Kick The Hell Out Of Them I Was Just Wanting An Opinion On Which Would Be Better For The Money I Am Upgrading My Amp Into A Planet Audio BB 2400 and all eletrical work is in the process as i type but i was just wondering which one is Bigger Better And BADDER!!!

my first post... i never heard of the magnum before and for only 350.00 why not try it out... and if i dont like it.. sell it... no problem there... i like to explore new things that many people dont anyways especially car audio.. when someone says "whats that" "how many subs you got in there" that right there is worth every buck i put into it... but to the question... i'm pretty set on the magnum 15 so whenever the next batch comes in... please let me know... 1. i really like the memphis amp because of electrical issues but i can't decide on which one?? the 16-mc1000d or the 16-st1000d??? anybody know if there's any difference??? 2. will 1000 watts be able to really g…

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.

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.

I'm looking for a 12'' subwoofer to work well in a .7 to 1 cuft enclosure before speaker displacements. Getting about 1000RMS. I listen to a lot of 80% rap and 20% rock and possibly some techno here and there. I was aiming for a Fi Q 12 but i was told that there are subs around that work really well in small sealed enclosures. I want it to be as loud as possible. I also have had a RE SX 12 in a .6 sealed box after displacements. It did really well and sounded clean but it got pretty warm. I'm just exploring my options. Any feedback on woofers is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Last weekend I made up a modified MJ-18M and we decided to do some power testing using a SounDigital SD-12k. This unit has a single 1 Ohm voice coil and a couple of other mods: The box we placed it in. Not sure what the size or tuning was as it belonged to Murilo. Perhaps he can comment on it: First test went fairly well with 1.5kw: Second test did better with more power: Third test was with 11.6kw of power: Fourth test didn't produce any more output but the FrankenMJ took quite a bit - almost 16kw(!): That's pretty decent power for a single SD-12k amp!

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?

well folks, its about time the truth came out... here is your adored Nick Lemmons himself, in his natural environment http://community.webshots.com/photo/320375...320381641MggRNd http://community.webshots.com/photo/320375...320381769nPrLqO the truth is in the open now . so feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. P.S.--nick, i love you. enjoy people . its here to have fun with

I finally got some info on the new drivers. Very excited to try one out. I miss my old 2012. Thought I would share what I got from them

Hey guys, I have a brother that I installed an mj18 with a buttkicker silent subwoofer amp for almost 2 years ago. It has been great for him but now he is ready to upgrade, currently since the mj18 is 4ohm the amp is running 4ohm. What I would like to do is keep the amp, and 3.6-3.8cf box and replace the mj18 with an ixl18, but I realize its a 2+2voicecoil config. So the buttkicker is 2ohm stable, but I have read that if an amp is 2ohm stable then it will be 1ohm stable as well is there any truth to this? Also the box is sealed, and I wondered how the ixl would do in the sealed box at 3.6cf. We really like the price point for what the ixl can do. The only other opti…

Looking to go with a 12" sub hopefully but the box specs are the same if it was a 10 or 12 inch sub. Specs are: 1 ft 3 sealed. 5.75 mounting depth Going to be a stealth box custom made by someone other than jl... I was thinking sundown sd12? Anything out there that i could fit in a box like that and get some decent output?

I am looking at these Treo SSx series components and am wanting to know if anyone has heard them or knows anything about them? I am curious as to how that dual tweeter design sounds and what the price of these things are. Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.

Which would you use? I'm not sure what I'd use for power.. Depends on my electrical.... I'm thinking a Maxxsonics amp or Sundown..

Please give me your reasons. Will be running 2 12's of a 3000D the Bl will be loaded...not sure on the nightshades options though

I have seriously been thinking about doing a DIY comp set and I remember looking at these a while ago. Since you guys have infinite more knowledge than me , can you point me in the right direction as far as a good matching tweeter for it? Planning on going active with a Sundown 100.4, but im not sure what tweeter to match with it. I saw the review of it months ago on here and it looked solid for my needs, just wanted a few opinions. The tweeters I have heard before include the mainstream stuff (Infinity Reference, Pioneer, Kenwood, Polk Audio, Kicker, etc...) Im not looking for SPL, more like SQ but with good output, (have to be able to keep up with a pair of 15s Porte…

im rebuilding my whole setup in my 86 camaro the only thing im keeping is the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X891 deck. what would be 2 good 12's and amp 4 the hatch. i want something that hits very hard but still has great sq right now i got 2 re audio re12's in a bandpass box running off a sony 1000w amp and i want louder. i think about $1000 will be my limit 4 both subs and amp.

So I currently have a 12" SSA Icon on a sundown sae 1200 in 2 cu ft enclosure tuned to 32 hz. I'm wanting to try something new and came up with the idea to recone it to an 18 and run it in a 4.5-5 cu ft sealed enclosure. I know it will have a flatter response but am I going to see a nice increase in output? I would assume because of the large cone area difference. I thought about trying a different sub but I like my icon and have always wanted to try a 18; and it'll be cheaper than purchasing a different sub. Will I be disappointed? Can anyone point out differences like pros and con's, lol. Any help is appreciated

Anyone have experience with RE's SR/SRX lineup? Ready to order sub(s), but have come to a fork in the road: Multiple good subs vs one stronger sub of equal build quality. From what I've researched I could probably feed the SRX's 500w (<600w) a piece just fine; though they're 300rms rated. My thoughts: Wanted to stay under/around the $300 mark for the sub(s) and ~1kw of pow-a. Budget-"ish" build. Could have more cone area and better cooling w/ two subs on equal wattage. A single Q 18 seems loud and clear enough on it's own, from what I gather. I have no 150db targets or some ~ish not competing just knocking music. Big truck = big subs in my head. 15"+ Other factors: …

What are your opinions on this sub? in my case, it is $48 cheaper than a RL-p (both being 15s). idk if im down with the 1000w rms though. do you folks think they will hit pretty much the same dbs in general, just one will sound nicer than the other?

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…

what type of amp should i run to these speakers ?
