    JL W7 recone kit

    Sry for the double post... but I'd also like to add one more thing. In the unlikely case that you were to want a custom recone for your W7, he'd only be able to do the 12" W7. The 13.5" W7 has a really really weird sized voice coil if I remember correctly. I think it was like 3.5" VC or...

    1 simple port question.

    Rule of thumb is you need the distance between the port exit and a solid object to be at least equal to or greater than the smallest dimension of the port. In your case, it's 7". If you put it exactly 7" away from the tailgate, it's almost like an addition to the port length. This is a...

    what subs kill on 38-40hz

    Pretty much any sub in a ported enclosure tuned around 35-38 ish will peak around 38-40 depending on your car's cabin characteristics. Simply put, there is no single sub that is going to guarantee high numbers in the 38-40 range. It will be a combination of your sub choice, box tuning, amp...

    JL W7 recone kit

    David at fixmyspeaker/PSI I'm pretty sure can still recone them. Here's the thing though, he isn't able to offer a drop in recone like JL. He doesn't have that crazy cone/surround that the W7 is known for. When he reconed a W7, he removed the standard JL basket and drilled and tapped the top...

    SOLD FS:Original MJ18 4ohm

    Would you be interested in a 12" Konaki (DD9512g clone)? PM me if interested, as the classifieds move quick and I probably won't be able to find the thread again lol.

    4 Sundown sa-8

    Since AB makes the HD12 which is more or less a DD9512g, I would have to say those XD8's look surprisingly familiar. 1508 anyone? Looks like same motor and basket structure... Those XD8's would be a potent lil package off of 3k (750 each).

    Good sub in an enclosure that's 2.5 cu. ft. @ 38 hz

    Read the full description of that sub and it looks promising. Based on the parts they used alone, 120 bucks is a STEAL. It also appears the builder is quite knowledgeable. I would look into that sub. You said your price was under 200 and has to be D4. I think that's your ticket...

    Good sub in an enclosure that's 2.5 cu. ft. @ 38 hz

    Not it is NOT the same buildhouse. This is not the equivalent. It has the same basket. That's it... Compare magnet weight + overall weight of this sub versus the DD9500, AQ HDC3, AB HD, and of course the Konaki. You can visibly tell the magnet is much smaller and all the others have a total...

    Alpine releases a NEW Type-R Driver to the lineup

    Was just trollin teh intarwebz as usual and went to sonicelectronix to compare some prices or whatnot when I noticed they had a Type-ARGGHHHH that didn't look quite right. The cone looked darker... the logo was on the bottom of the cone. So I clicked on it and apparently Alpine re-made the...

    Wtt saz 3500 , sa8

    I'd really like to get my hands on that SA-8. You do realize that they were 129 brand new though right? 109 during the pre-sale.
