  1. I want sql, i want subs that are tight as can be but still hit you in your chest and get loud. My atlas 15s are loud but just not quite loud enough, my bro still thinks his audiobahns were better, so i need louder, but still tight bass. here's what i'm considering, feel free to suggest other subs but keep them 15s, keep them round, and keep them non-mainstream, if a 15 year old will know what it is, i don't want it the top of the list is the ones i'm leaning towards, only 3 in the list as of now though 1. Stereo Integrity Mag 2. Soundsplinter LMT 3. Ascendant Audio Avalanche -maybe should be in 2nd i've heard great things about the mags, the soundspliter seems to lack spl and needs tons of wattage to get loud, i'm not all about that, the avalanche i have no idea what to expect...i know the atlas was great and i'm sure the ava was too but the new ava might not be, and who knows when it'll be out.
  2. ahhhh so beautiful, i just wish i could make up my mind which subs i want, i need to hear some reviews!!!! btw i think i should get 2 free 15s cause my aunt's best friend's daughter has a heart condition and since i usually take her out for ice cream (i'm a good person) i could use the subs as pacemakers and it'd be like you all were saving the life of an innocent child...so i'll give you my address when you need it :-D just remember...think of the poor child
  3. ok so the car is a 98 Dodge Stratus. I have to have access to my spare tire and would prefer a removeable enclosure but thats probably not happening. What i have now are two boxes 3/4" MDF 3.13cubes each tuned to 36hz. i want something that'll look more custom and less amateur. I've considered finishing my boxes and what not but its really not worth it to me, i'd rather just toss the boxes (not actually throw away) and start with fiberglass. I'm pretty good with fiberglass but never tried it in cars/audio, i think i can manage though. what i really need from you all is ideas on how to make this look good, i'm wanting front firing subs like they do now, and my amps are mounted on the back of my seat which will be changed. As of now i'm thinking i'll fill the whole trunk with the enclosure, make a huge scallop like hole that allows me to get to my spare, this will make the enclosure almost wishbone shaped and easy to split into two boxes which might be removable with the help of god, should weild a little more in cubes too. after that i could make a cover for the hole left from the scallop and put the amp rack there I've also considered something rawdogj suggested, which is making the enclosure as big as i want and just cutting a hole for the spare to be accessed from under the car (there is room) and do it sorta like the old corvettes (just a panel where you drop down and pull the spare out that way) this would let me have 10+cubes but once again how would i ever finish the fiberglass enclosure if i make it all inside the trunk ?? probably not going to be able to. i really want a custom look this time and i want to put a lot more time/effort in, throw ideas my way, i am fitting 15" subs as thats what i have now. My height can be 16.5" at best unless i remove my 6x9's which i'll probably do, this will only give me another inch or two at best. My width at the least wide spot is a little more than 36" (my current boxes are 18" wide and the two of them don't totally fill the width. front to back i should get 36" at best, this gives me a 12.375 cubes if the box is rectangular, so i should be able to squeeze a little more out with the odd shapes. blah its 2:40am and i'm ranting now, someone give me an outside the box idea...like "drill two 14" holes in the trunk lid and mount them there"

    ohhhh please tell me you meant the R/T, i have an iroc R/T that would be a beast had i the time to go visit my bro and get it running, haven't had it up since i rebuilt the engine (right before i headed to college)
  5. with cars this light why on earth are they not using rotary engines? the hp is limitless and i'm sure it'd even save a few pounds
  6. ok i hope that's "on the small side" and not "too small" would suck ot have to pay for...new wiring, another 1200d, AND fiberglassing stuffs, bah so much frickin work. and of course i have some tiny ports now too so there's another reason for a new enclosure. this really is a never-ending hobby isn't it?
  7. i'm already overpowering them, and i don't think i'd like the lower tuning, i don't listen to a lot of songs that have super low bass, so i'd probably miss those 50-60hz hits of course if it wasn't nearly impossible for me to change the tuning i'd give it a try
  8. good, my atlas 15s get loud and are very clear, but they don't ever move that much , and i want something that will get even louder but still have good SQ edit: my current boxes are right at 3.20 cubes(before woofer displacement) and tuned to 36hz should they work ok, i really don't think i can squeeze too much more room out of the trunk
  9. so 2 of these 15s should be enough to boom a little in my stratus, right?
  10. make your own box, that way it'll fit btw if you're limited on trunkspace, why go with a 15? what kind of car is it? whats your max height vs width vs depth?

    well if we have bburg people we should meet up beer and speakers!!!
  12. so do we have an official price or did i miss that 80 times?
  13. i wouldn't hesitate to strap another 1200d to it and push about 2400W@2 ohm though, the AAs do great but i want something that makes it hard to breathe when i really crank them, of course i rarely really push them, but when i do, they should respond :-D
  14. i'm curious about this as well as i have 2 atlas 15s tuned at 36hz with 3.13cubes each, wired to 1.333 ohm on my orion 1200d, will the mags be a lot more sub or just barely? i mean i don't want my gf to spend $1000 on subs to barely be able to tell the difference, lol EDIT: i'll be able to feed the subs as much power as needed but must have looked over any wattage ratings on the website, anyone want to enlighten me?

    i'm just signing up here to get skooled about stereo integrity mags, my gf agreed to buy me two for x-mas but i'm already running two ascendant audio atlas 15s at ~1000W and want to make sure this upgrade will be worth the $$
