On this hu, the FantomFace XL Mechanism, is that saying it just folds back so where it is just a black front, or what exactly is that!?!? sorry I **** at the explaining

I just purchased two JL 12W3's last night and have them running off my Lightning Audio S1.1000d. According to the wiring charts off of JL's site wiring the 4 ohm voice coils in parallel presents a 2 ohm load to the amp. With the way I have it set up, that would give me around 500 Watts RMS...

Depends on two things I'd say. 1. Your budget 2. Your ears If it were me, I'd go with the Power HX2's. If you have the ability to listen to each sub, then do that first. If that is not an option, I'd recommend the Power HX2's

Hello all out there in car audio forum land. Had a question for those of you familair with the Alpine SWR-1221D's (Alpine Type R 12" 2 Ohm Subwoofer). For my upcoming system I decided to go with the Alpine Type R's and was wondering what you consider to be a little overkill as far as...

Alright guys, let me give you the run down. I had my two MA Audio 12" XE's hooked up to my Lightning Audio S1.1000d Amp in one of the worst sealed enclosures ever. I noticed I had one sub definetly NOT hitting at it's potential. The other day I get a new box (due to the quality of the old...

Sounds like you blew a fuse bro!! Check fuses at your distribution block, under the dash, and I know I've got a couple fuses on the back of my h/u! If this isn't it be sure to let us know!!

Most of the time a company is usuall known for making more spl subs or sq subs, or a balance between the two. As far as telling the difference between the two I believe that comes down to more of a listening session. Of course, I'm always open to stand corrected! The HE's are going to be...

Most companies have very similair head units that they release all that include the same manual. Often, the most feature bogged head unit is the one that has a manual made for it, then the "lower-end" of those head unit lines are shipped out with that manual. Hope that made sense! If not...

Alright, you've got the first thing you need - a desire to improve your current stereo system in your car. May I make a recommendation though for getting the proper equipment or best recommendations from the user's of this board. I would recommend giving a total amount of money you want to...

I second that the silver/grey amps are good amps! I just purchased one and it came in last friday. Definetly pushes my subs very nicely and not a problem to install!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I got the amp yesterday (friday). Had it hooked up and pushing my 12's in less than 30 minutes :-) So far so good!! Thanks again for your help!

I figured I would pass this link along for those of you who don't feel like thinking much. The following website contains volume calculators for rectangular/square boxes and also has calculators for two basic design of wedge boxes! Hope this helps someone...

Hey guys, looking for opinions on Lightning Audio amps, this one specifically http://www.woofersetc.com/showitem.taf?item_id=2688 it puts out what I need, 600 watts into 4 ohms and it's a class d amp. What do you guys think taking quality/price into consideration! Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, finally decided on buying the jbl 1200.1 to push my 2 12" MaAudio XE's http://www.maaudio.com/productcatalog.cfm?class=268 I understand that this amp does not have a sub sonic filter. I would like to put the subs in a ported box just because I'm a high SPL kinda person. I didn't...

With the JBL 1200.1 you will be looking at ~240.00 if you purchase it online. JL amps are definetly good amps and will push your subs but from what I've seen they seem to be a bit pricey. They are quality amps though, no doubt about that. On a side note they will both push your subs without...
