    Two blown JL 10w6v2 subs out of warrenty - what should I do with them?

    hmmmm thanks for the advice I guess I will try to sell them. How much you think I could get for them? The subs look totally fine and you'd never know they're blown unless you hooked them up. I still have the original boxes/packaging. Thanks for the M3 comment, supercharger mod coming soon

    Two blown JL 10w6v2 subs out of warrenty - what should I do with them?

    Well as the topic says, I have two blown JL Audio 10" subwoofers model 10w6v2 that are out of warrenty. They where connected to a JL 1000/1 amp and put thru "excessive volumes" and now both have a severe rattle/pop to them. Probably a burnt voice coil. Should I send them in to get fixed or...

    How to keep subwoofer from shifting in trunk (pic)

    Actually that's not a bad idea, screwing something from under the carpet into the box. But I need the box to be quickly removable since I occasionally remove it to accomodate luggage, boxes, etc. that require more trunk space. The M3 is fast and fun but I still need it to be practical. Ha I...

    How to keep subwoofer from shifting in trunk (pic)

    I can move the box around if it will stay, so long as it's touching the back seat, I don't care where it is.

    How to keep subwoofer from shifting in trunk (pic)

    Ok this problem is starting to get annoying. My subwoofer in the trunk of my car keeps shifting and bouncing around inside my trunk. It is pretty small and not that heavy so that's why it keeps happening. I tried keeping it down with velcro stick pads. That helped a little but not during...

    Is connecting a 1ohm speaker load on a 2ohm amp that bad?

    Sorry for all the confusion, I did put speaker in the title but sub in the message body. Anyway back on topic, I'll just hook up the sub in series I guess for a final of 4ohm impedance.

    Is connecting a 1ohm speaker load on a 2ohm amp that bad?

    As the topic says, is connecting one dual 2ohm sub (in parallel so 1ohm total) that bad for the amp if it gives it's max power output at 2ohms? I want to do this because the amp I'm gonna get is 600 watts @ 2ohm but only 300 watts @ 4ohm. Can I just turn down the gain? Let me know your...

    4ohm or 2ohm sub into a JL 500/1 amp?

    I am going to replace my 10" sub with a Rockford Fosgate 10" HX2 sub. Power handling is 500W RMS and 1000W max. It is a dual voice coil sub. Now my question is, should I get dual 2ohm or dual 4ohm? If I get dual 2 then I will wire the voice coils in series and get a final impedance of 4ohm...

    Yay For Fiberglass

    Nice, show us the finished product. I'm thinking about making a fiberglass enclosure for my bimmer. Did you use fiberglass weave or chopmatte stuff? How many layers are you putting on?

    I just tested 106.8 dB, is that good for my setup?

    i C, that is a bit much since i'm just going to test my vehicle for curiosity sake. I'll just go to my local car audio shop and pay them to test it or something..

    I just tested 106.8 dB, is that good for my setup?

    Ya i thought it was a bit low. I mean it can really shake my organs and burn my ears when i turn up the volume. I tested with some cheap SPL meter that doesn't even have a brand name on it and sometimes i have to turn it off/on really quick to get it to work. I held the unit just above the...

    I just tested 106.8 dB, is that good for my setup?

    I just tested my Jeep with a dB meter playing a pure tone 40 and 50Hz and the max was 106.8 dB. I have two 12" RF P312D4 subs in a vented box powered by one JL 1000/1 amp. Is that a good SPL for my current setup? I mean i can rattle the glasses in my kitchen when i turn it up in my driveway...
