Subwoofers / Speakers

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 had a question on whether I should have 2 FIBl 15s or one single bl15. I would be powering them with a Hifonics Bre1700. If I had a single bl It would get 1700rms. Would it be any louder with two bls but with 850rms each? The box is roughly 4 cubic feet. Any help is welcome.

Anyone have any experience with this company? Im thinking of running these in the dash--> http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5136_C...gns+CD78MT.html and these in the front doors http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5599_C...ns+QX6500C.html all off sax-100.4. Any opinions?

Hello all. This is taken from my site. So the smileys might be different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well I was supposed to be working on my car today. I didn`t Decided to wire up the Directed 1100d to the system an got carried away with the bass. Woah!!! Played SLAM & I nearly had a heart attack!!! :help: The bass is absolutely mental :earmuffs: :earmuffs: My missus ran out of the house to say the whole house was vibrating So there`s me sat in the car listening to the tunes at a much lower volume setting now. I did a few videos too. Sorry about the quality - the video doesn`t do the …

well, haven't been around for a bit so I'd thought i'd drop by and say hello. Been busy with my new job cause working in a car audio place sucks....only the owner makes the money. But just to let you on some new products, CDT has offered the 2in driver in the HD line. Uses a different coating on the cone than the ES. ES is more a delicate driver than the HD one. Its a little beast though. little over an 1in deep, should be fun in the car though. Careful on the crossover points though, from the little use I've used in a temp pod I think I like it at 1k hz and up. I'll be using it as my main tweeter with the drt-26 as my image one. I'll try and get pics up here as …

Hi I am about to install my SI sub. Its a Gen 2 SI 12" D2 sub. It will be part of a 4 way system looking like so... BG Neo3 Tweets In the pillars or kicks (not sure yet) Scanspeak 4.5" Revelators In the kicks Peerless Xls8" In the doors (1) Stereo Integrity 12" In the trunk. I have 50 Watts to the Tweets 150 Watts to the Scans 300 Watts to the Peerless 900 Watts to the SI Sub... All US Amp USA Series Power The SI sub will need to blend well with this setup, and will play from 65ish down. I need some ideas for box placement and what kind of box. I am willing to fiberglass so I was considering the side of the trunk behind the wheel well, or off the back of my seat fac…

What are some user reviews of the Digital Designs 2500 15"?

Just keep in mind that this is going in the cab of a Del Sol. The subwoofer enclosure will be fiberglassed of course directly behind the two seats. The enclosure will consume literally everything rearward of the seats. I might own a very powerful amp soon that will be able to anihilate the 15, let alone a 12, or even 8's. So now my options are totally open.

I have been looking on woofersetc for a couple of days now and just can't make up my mind on this. What I am planning on doing is putting some tweeters / midbrange speakers in the back of my suv. I want it to keep up with my BTL 18 when I have the back hatch open. Overall I want to spend around a thousand on everything. Everything that's needed is back there as far as power and space. I was really liking the image dynamic horns, but can't find a lot of technical info about them. I am thinking 4 - 6 midbass drivers and 4 tweeters. I am willing to go active and was thinking about trying hifnoics because i've never tried them out before and they have some good prices. Help i…

Picking up 2 d2 sp4 18s to put on my taramps 8000...with these having odd coils how much are we talkin the amp will put out on these things?

i read the sticky on this already, but can you use speaker wire instead? and how do you remove the push terminals and make the connection style of the pos and neg leads like the AQ or DD'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?

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.

First off let me say that I love the look of the old SI Magnum especially the Claw basket. The new SI D2 looks ok, but besides looks is there big differences in the models? The new one looks to have less cone area (maybe more similar to a 10" cone and a huge surround.) I'm sure there is a thread describing the newer driver, but how about a comparison? Advantages? Disadvantages? General differences? PS.. The 8"s never materialized .. any future plans for those, or 10"s?? The Hammer

Am trying to find a good set of coaxial speaker for my truck. I replaced my factory speakers with ome kicker DS6.5s and they sounded better than the factory but am looking for a lil more sound. Am looking to spend around $80-100 a pair. I just want to replace not to install pods, etc. I will be running them off of my pioneer head unit (50 watts per channel). I would like a lil bass from my door speakers because it is lacking big time currently. Any suggestions on a nice pair? Thanks

Is it bad on the subwoofers if I'm running one amp on each sub? The subs are in the same ported box and i know to set the gains on the amp relatively close to one another. Is this a bad idea?

Well, after further examination, one of my SPL 12's is completely trashed. 2 of the tinsel leads are burnt and the surround almost came loose from the frame. Some slight tearing is obvious on the surround and the coil was somehow misaligned, you'll see in the pictures where it managed to rub against the pole piece and the coil gap. hey Mark, looks like I'll need some recones in the future Just some advice, don't paint the inside of the basket where the soft parts are mounted. The glue on the spiders and surround were coming loose. It was too easy to take the soft parts off. Even though these subs were beaten pretty hard, the SPL series is one of my favorite seri…

this is the best 8'' sub i ever seen i thought my 1508 and 1008a was the shit but the sa-8 is a monster 0.90@35hz testing tomorrow sa-8 next to lil mtx 8'' my lil girl thought it was a cool toy

Just got this installed today after i got it in the mail..i didnt realize how big and sexy this thing was. But anyway, i got blown 6x9's and mediocre fusion 6.5 components in the front and i dont want to be wasting this amp. Anybody got suggestions for speakers that would match well with this amp? Somewhere around $250 for components and $150 for rear fill. Ive thought about some lower end focals, type X pro, Infinite perfects, or maybe try the re xxx's. Thx

hey. i am having problems deciding what would be the best choice for a system would be... i know that i want to be pushing no less than 2.5k watts rms. i was thinkin one Fi Btl 18 fully loaded, but everyone is telling me they are way overrated. i have seen multiple videos of btl's tearin cars apart. if i do decide to go with this sub what amp and box should i get. it's going in a 1999 jeep grand cherokee and don't plan on folding the backseats down. please help me! thanks

so i am getting a $400 loan from a friend an i want to get TWO not one but TWO 18's what is the absolute best i could possibly get for that? i am like, OCD and i cant stand having a lonely woofer so it has to be a pair...=| please help. i am itching to break things with pure sound!!

well just for the record i just won 2 thats right 2 trophies at 1 comp. granted its not a iasca or dbdrag but i can still have bragging rights lol i got 1 for loudest in class and loudest at comp. o yea and some cash it was on a new termlab mic i held a 155.3 with only 2 SID2s 15 with a MA 5082hx amp not too bad i was told lol any way nick i would like to get 2 blue large decals like you had on your car ill tty later about that

Some short videoes of my 6th order wall in my Jeep. Mach 5 SPL 15's and an American Bass XD1800. My Powerbass XA3000D is in for repair. Still have a lot of tweaking and testing to get this build running full tilt. Thanks for the views! Door flex from the inside. 22 hz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kVUFE3LjUo Roof flex/wave. My camera didn't pick it up very well. It's violent, though. 33 hz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf__x8HY5As Some door flex at 20 hz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEwtb79NM-g

Okay.... So this is another thread for me about my front stage... new ideas and different product.. I'm really liking the Image Dynamics (which can be found HERE)and the Morel Tempo 6 (which can be found HERE) ... Question now is... Which would have potential for more output(volume) and retain the quality... Doors are deadened and I may do more down the road so that shouldn't be a huge concern right now... Amplifier is currently a Boston Acoustics GT2-125 ... 125w @ 4ohms.... I usually listen to volume of 40-50 out 62 on my Pioneer HU ... Any more info needed let me know.... Help would be much appreciated.... My badd guys I forgot to change the topic title....

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 …
