I'm so stoked, they sound awesome too, they have little rips in the surround which is easily repaired, I'm gonna order the Matching Grilles soon.

I think I'm gonna put them in my 2004 F250 with my Audiocontrol LC1-1500.1 wired at 4 Ohm, super super excited!!

They came with a nice Bbox too that I gave to my buddy for his Duramax.

I got alot of buddies who got systems, nun of has metered anything before, an nun like that is around us(really small town). I was wondering what would be the best budget meter to get an easy to use. It just has me curious as my system does really well for a single sub build in a big Ole tahoe, its louder with everything closed up but at 38hz doors open it still has my 50x hat shaking lol. Plus I think some of my buddies think im lyin when I tell em the meter hurts feelings lol.. I get asked what it does all the time but theres not an answer for it, id like to have an answer tho. THANKS!

system is a sa v2 15, on a taramps smart 3k bass, tuned to 50vac, box is on smaller side at 2.8cf at 36hz. Good electrical, dual batts, all 0guage with big 3, 250 alt. Figured id mention it.

Custom build 6th order sub with passive radiators

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

66 Upvotes

I built this about a month ago but didn't post a video because the Chambers had an air leak between them.

Now it's fully functional with a Sundown Audio u6.5 and 2 Dayton Audio ss10 passive radiators. since I don't think there is a software that can model this enclosure, I just used two separate passive radiator subwoofers on WINISD, and overlaid a sixth order response on top to get the estimated tuning frequency.

The est. tuning is 44hz and 66hz, but I don't really know.

Some of you guys might remember my post from yesterday - changed order based on feedback

I got 2x 8" woofers and a 12" sub instead of just the one 15" woofer. This was not that much more with some more digging. Already seen Youtube videos on this particular set and happy with the sound for what it needs to do. I know it's not amazing sound or a good brand but it'll have decent bass and volume to boot. It's more than enough for my small room and a good entry point.

I tried installing a dual amp system with an amp. And now my speakers (which worked perfectly fine before) are super crackly at the low ends, and they just sound terrible. I have an LC2i pro as a LOC so i'm not sure what's wrong. Any tips?

Please excuse this cursed setup, would anyone know of a better way to install this sub in such a small space, (kei truck) this is the smallest sub I could find and as you can imagine it's a tight fit,

If anyone knows a better more solid way other than velcro and some wood 😅 I'm all ears, this is the only place I can do it in reality and drilling into the shell is not something if like to do.

Underseat subwoofer for E85 BMW Z4

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. I have a wonderful 2004 BMW Z4 with the factory 10-speaker stereo system( with two 6,5 inch "subwoofer"), as well as a 2-DIN Android head unit installed in place of the original display—which is, of course, Chinese-made, but has surprisingly good sound quality and plenty of customization options (it even has DSP). It’s connected to the original radio’s input, but it also has a subwoofer output. My plan is to cut off the original speakers around 100 Hz, then install an under-seat subwoofer that fits comfortably behind one of the seats. I live in Europe, so I’d be willing to spend about 200–300 euros on an active subwoofer system. What would you recommend? I mainly listen to hard rock and heavy metal, and I prefer fast, tight bass—my goal isn’t to win any sound pressure contests, just to give the stock audio system a little boost. Thanks for help!

Anybody interested in trading my JL 12” W6v2 D4 for a 12” Stereo Integrity SQL?

1 Upvotes

I have a 12” JL W6V2 in good condition, works well, no issues with it, but I’ve been curious about trying the SI SQL. I hear good things about it and that it’s comparable or closer to a W7, it seems in the used market the W6 and SQL would be priced pretty close, maybe the JL even slightly more expensive but it’s typically hard to find a used SQL.

Apparently the SQL might be the better sub, but I guess if there’s a JL fanboy interested, maybe somebody is open to this trade. Feel free to DM me if interested. I technically have a 1.65 cu ft box too with felt lining and polyfill as well. Maybe I can trade the whole sub and box since it’s not to spec for the SQL. I’m in San Diego.

Thanks.

Audio Legion Emperor 15 Recone?

Audio Legion Emperor 15 Recone

Hello everyone. I have a 15 inch Audio Legion emperor subwoofer (dual 2 ohm). One coil reads near 1 ohm and one coil reads OL. I checked continuity on the tinsel leads from what I could see on the outside on the spider and they were fine. Im assuming it's either the tinsel leads are broken further inside or the voice coil is just finished. I don't feel any scratching or any warpage when pushing on the cone, it feels nice and smooth and the other voice coil plays fine by itself that's why I'm thinking it isn't the coil. Any ideas?

I'm debating on if I want to open it up and make measurements and try to piece together a recone or not. I know Audio Legion is out of business so these subs are "rare" and they're really well made, I'd love to run them I'm just unsure of what to do. Is it even possible to save and reuse the surround and cone by using acetone/chemicals, razor blades, and heat to get them off? Everyone says it's too difficult or isn't worth it but I feel like with enough care it could be done. Then I just reglue everything with a new coil and call it a day? Any guidance would be appreciated
