I actually meant just the screws that hold the sub. should they go through both pieces? sorry it sounded different in my head ;P

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but I have a front double baffle that I'm about to screw an sx 12 to and was wondering should I try and get screws to penetrate all the way through both layers or the first layer. I was kind of wondering if it barely makes it through the first layer that there may be separation between the two pieces.

sounds like a plan to me thanks for the input

ah gotcha i've seen that name thrown around here a few times

if only there were a few cs57cf

true i just don't want it wailing one day and then blam the dustcap ruptures and something happens to damage the coil or any other part of the sub. i mean if it wont do something like that then i wont hesitate to bump it.

who is AA?

its worth a shot as long as it doesnt come apart on me one day on a bump

i planned on one day down the road to add some audiocontrol processing.

is the dustcap on this something that i can do with a knife and some parts or is it something i need done by a seasoned sub builder?

haven't made the final decision yet you guys have brought up some good ideas so im rolling those around for a bit.

Any other suggestions than silicone. Is it really ok to use silicon to fix this situation. It wont settle in and crack again after it hardens?

so the sundown is a clear front runner here but that boss on group buy is peaking my interest especially the price. But does it really have enough power to run what i want?

Buying a 1996 Lincoln Town Car I'm replacing the stock speakers of course but not going overboard this time so I was thinking for the front doors a set of Focal Ca1 # 5" x 7" Access Series Car Speakers # Power Handling: * Peak: 240 watts per pair / 120 watts each * RMS: 120 watts per pair / 60 watts each # All weather woven fiberglass cone woofer # Butyl rubber surround # 1" Aluminum inverted dome tweeter (TN44) # Stamped steel basket # Humidity resistant cone # Rotating tweeter # 4 ohms impedance And the speaker rack in the back a set of Focal 690 cvx # 6" x 9" Focal Polyglass 2-Way Coaxial Speakers # Power Handling: * Peak: 320 watts per pair / 160 watts each * RMS: 160 watts per pair / 80 watts each # Polyglass cone # Butyl rubber surround # Adjustable aluminum inverted dome tweeter # Frequency Response: 50 - 20,000 Hz # 4 ohms impedance # 1-1/4" Voice coil diameter # 1/2" Voice coil height # 3-1/2" Magnet So my question is what 4 channel should I go with, my main selections are the Audioque 4x90 and the Sundown SAX-100.4 so let me hear your opinions or if you may have any more suggestions. Thanks for any information fellas.

sorry i didn't for some reason wait for the images to finish.

So my ex had a cat and my subs suffered for it that will teach me to leave them lying around (haven't even used them yet). It's a RE SX 12 from about 2005-2006. Is there anyone that can rebuild it or am i looking at a loss. Its not been used so everything is good just not the cap that was punctured. Thanks for any advice toward a fix. I want to use the set in a 1996 lincoln town car I hope at least.

I think he is talking about noise cancellation from the sound waves reaching each other at the same time. I listen to a good combination of everything no jazz or classical really. One per door and leaning toward active since I will be running a few audio control devices.

I’m looking for a bit of knowledge from the bright minds on the forum which is all of you guys since I’m sure you all have a great amount of help you can provide me with. I have an 1998 Chevy Blazer I currently am using two Alpine Type-R twelve’s but want to start building a system leaning toward better SQ. I know the basics about how I want to hook it up but looking forward to some advice on a few components. I am fitting four six and a halves in the doors and two tweeters I am thinking of going from my twelve’s to ten’s for a little better response. From what I see there are a few brands that look good from JL, Focal, Cadence, Seas, Alpine, etc. Now for the subs I was thinking again JL, Alpine, Sundown, SSA, Fi, and I know there’s more so that’s where you guys can support me with a few ideas. And if there is a thread about this topic then throw it at me but I checked around in the search and haven’t found this topic. Thanks again guys for any information I can use. By the way my money range is about $500 or so somewhere in the access to poly range from focal is where I think I am at. I have room for twelve’s if you think that it’s as feasible for as good as ten’s for response.

May make a change in amp back to Sundown maybe to Orion im not sure. And I've been looking at the Focals but man they seem a little on the pricey end

why is that? i heard MB is are great for SQ.

Bit of an update of equipment 2 x RE SX 12 Dual 2 ohm 1 x SoundStream XXX4000D 2 sets x MB Quart DKH 116 6.5" 1 set of MB Quart DKH 110 4" 1 x AudioControl DQXS 1 x SoundStream REF4.400 need amp for 4" 1 x SDB034 Distribution Block 15' 1/0 awg wire Kolossus Kable 10' 4 awg wire Kolossus Kable Alt upgrade by mechman from what i hear its a safe bet. open to suggestion XS Power or kinetic wondering what size i will need.

So the list is looking like this... 2 x SAZ1500D = $1693.88 1 X SAX-100.4D = $581.94 2 X DKH 116 = $421.88 1 X DKH 110 = $379.48 1 X SDBO34 = $26.50 15' 1/0 GAUGE WIRE = $44 10' 4 GAUGE WIRE = $14.31 TOTAL SO FAR = $3161.99 So how am I looking so far?

So i compiled a little list of what I've heard to be the better of grades. MB Quart - DKH 116 6.5" 50-120 WATT $199 http://www.mbquartusa.com/discus_speakers.html# DKH 169 6X9" 60-190 $239 DKH 110 4" with adapter plate to fit 4x6" area 30-70 watt $179 JL AUDIO - ZR650-CSI 85-255 WATT ~ $454 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=65 C2-690TX 70 WATT $139 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=519 ALPINE - SPX-17PRO 6.5" 100-300 WATT $650 http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SPX-17PRO〈=en&tab=F SPR-69C 6X9" $190 http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SPR-69C Still Looking for a set of 4x6" for the dash though.

i do enjoy some body rattling from time to time

BTW the RE's are dual 2 ohm so wiring down is limited to 2 ohms if im not correct. I cant get a 1 ohm load is what I'm getting at unless i wire both subs together and run a single larger amp.
