Hey guys I'm trying to decide on a sub. I'm looking for SPL but able to play higher freq for some rock and rap songs. I've narrowed it down to a kicker solo baric I think. I'm using a MTX 1501D amp (1500rms at 1ohm, 1000rms at 2ohm). I can't decide on these 2 12 inch Kicker L7 solo baric or...

Hey guys I'm sitting on Kicker L7's or Alpine Type R's. I have 2 boxes that are cut out for round 12" speakers so if I buy the L7's I wanna be sure. I see that the L7's are a total of 14 inches and are 150 rms watts more but I've heard a lot of good things about the type R's. I am purchasing...

Whats the difference between SQ and SPL?

The box is approx 1sq foot, maybe a little more. Almost exactly what it requires. I'm pretty sure that I don't have the wires crossed because I can still put my old Orion back in under a 4ohm load and it will rattle the windows of my house from the driveway. The Pioneer won't even rattle the...

Hey guys I'm in some need of a new sub. My old one was a ORION P12d2 (1000/500rms). It absolutely rocks!!!! I want something in that range but to be about 1500rms watts. Please don't anyone tell me a Pioneer Premier SPL because I tried it and it F*$@ing sucks!!!!!!!! Oh yeah the amp is a...

Hey fellas I am having some hella trouble with this subwoofer. My current setup was a ORION P12D2 dual 2ohm (1000/500rms) 12 inch subwoofer. My amp is a MTX 1501D (1500x1, 1000x2, 500x2). Head unit is a Pioneer DEHP5900. Anyways the ORION was wired into a 4ohm load and absolutely HAMMERS my...

Ok guys I just confirmed this crap. I grabbed my old Orion (only 500rms) and threw it back in there. Man....that thing will rattle the brain!!! I had the truck parked in the drive way and it rattled the windows on the house. With the Pioneer you can literally stand beside the truck and hear...

The head unit is a Pioneer DEHP5900. The LP and HP filters are set at 125 hz and the loudness, bass, etc is all zero'd out on the head unit. The amp has a frequency controller which is set at the highest level. The amp also has a equilizer for bass boost and is turned completely down. I get...

I have been using a Orion P12d2 12" 1000/500rms dual 2 ohm for the past 5 or 6 years and have been incredibly happy with it. However after about a year the wire that connects the voice coil to the connector breaks and I have to solder it back. Well after a few years I decided I wanted to get...

Yeah I'm gonna throw the old one back in tomorrow to see how it sounds. The only think I can think of is that the old sub was in the back of my 02 Camaro and this one is in the back seat of my 01 4dr Dakota. I know that will make a difference but not like this. Literally 90% of the music i...

I have both filters set at 125hz. The box is sealed and is approx 1sq ft in size. The same box AND amp were used for both speakers. The smaller speaker was wired at 4ohms but this larger sub is wired at 1ohm. The MTX is a mono amp but it has 4 terminals for convenience. I have the speaker...

I don't think the sub has any filters. However the head unit does. It has high and low pass filters but I thought that was only for the door speakers?

The same box was used for both speakers. Its about 1 square foot or maybe a little more. The settings were set for the orion by the dealership but I made some small adjustments for the new one. I didn't check voltage but I did my best to adjust it at full power. I can play the radio at max...

I currently have installed in my truck a 12" Orion P12D2 (1000/500 RMS) dual 2ohm subwoofer. I am powering this with a MTX 1501D amp (not sure the specs). Anyways the sub and amp is about 5yrs old now and it keeps breaking the wire for the voice coil connector. So I decided its time for a new...
