    Replacing woofers in a Hertz Energy set with 2ohm woofer instead of 4ohm

    Yep, I searched the web trying to find out information but didn't come up with anything. Friend of mine in the business said about the same thing that it may change the sound a big but he said being the woofer it shouldn't be too much. I know it's a band aid but I think I got lucky and I don't...

    hertz esk 165l5

    I called 2 separate shops that carried them locally and couldn't order the energy woofers... Posted another thread on the Polk MM6501 woofers I picked up for 75 bucks used from a friend... 2 ohm but they sound BETTER than the hertz energy woofers did to be honest with you.

    Replacing woofers in a Hertz Energy set with 2ohm woofer instead of 4ohm

    Voice coils went in my hertz energy 3 way component woofer in the passenger door. Due to being so busy with buying a house moving and all I was looking for a quick fix. Checked local shops trying to find just a set of replacement woofers. Came across a deal on 2 Polk MM6501 Woofers rated at...

    Buying online and installing at local shop questions???

    Easy, ask what they charge to install up front before buying anything, then compare to other shops to see if they're price is in line. Shops here give lifetime warranty on installation/wiring. Look at what gear they have in the store, then inquire about purchasing and ask whats the best price...

    12w3 poppy noise when turn up gain

    Easier test, take the speaker out and just add a board inside to cut down the internal vol... Piece of 2x4 or a MDF board should do nicely. I seriously doubt it's the size of your enclosure. I had a 10W3, look on JL's website for it's optimal recommend RMS power range, 300 Watts. 500+ is in...

    Going for SIMPLICITY On This Build

    I'm running the JL 300/4 and 500/1 similar to your setup but am running Hertz Audio 3 way components up front, coax in rear, and a 10W6 in a custom ported enclosure tuned to 31 hertz. Full dynamat installation. I'm extremely happy with the setup... I tried a 10W7 but to me for SQ the 10W6 was...

    Enclosure Tuning frequency

    Not really missing anything, just wondering if I can improve on what I already have as far as SQ. Note my questions on the initial post. I'm just considering tuning the box lower which will flatten the curve a bit in search of improved sound quality. I've heard a flatter curve will give you...

    Progressive insurance renewal to include stereo equipment.

    Just a heads up. I called progressive today while renewing my car insurance policy, explained what I had done to the new car and how much the equipment costs where for my stereo gear installation. (over 3,000 totaled up should I have to replace it). I was able to purchase additional insurance...

    Enclosure Tuning frequency

    I agree with the cabin gain, unfortunately don't have tools at my disposal such at an RTA or other method. Just looking at software and listening to it. The enclosure I built sounds incredible with most music but just wondering if tuning lower etc would give better sound quality...

    Enclosure Tuning frequency

    I have a JL 10W6 with a 500/1 amp, recently built a custom enclosure with 1.89 cubic ft internal vol and tuned it to 31hz. It sounds really good but I'm wondering if I can improve on it and flatten the curve on the graph out a bit to get a little more SQ. Looking for a bit of advice. Box is...
