  1. So you are saying since they are a slight different ohm they will fight each other? and This is how i would hook them up: One set of wires going from amp inside the box, all the subs are s.v.c. so then postive from the 1st sub to the last then same with the negative. This is how my power-wedge box is wired for the 3 jl W0's. So This will not work when i add the ID4's?
  2. The subs are fine, You obviously do not know JL subs. They are 3 JL 10W012 nominal independance of 12ohms and dc resistance of 10.39 So the coils are just fine.
  3. I didn't really disagree with anyone. I simply wanted more information on HOW it would be wrong and effect the out come and performance of the system. I'm sorry if i upset you. It just kinda upsets me when older people come on here and bash me because i'm a youngster and have questions. Like this is the whole point of the FORUM,to help people learn about things and UNDERSTAND. So I am really sorry if i upset or offended anyone, in anyway possible. Sorry. I just really needed the facts.
  4. Thanks alot stevil, You actually explaned to me what the problems instead of bashing me and saying i'm only hitting 125db...I'm all about the science behind subs. I'm not an idiot that thinks just cuz i'm running fi or some other brand i'm going to be louder than the guy running 3 lil 10"s. Thanks alot man for EXPLANING! And So your saying that adding those other 2 subs with the different loads, that they will not be symetrical with the other 3? or they will be drawing more power? How is this when they are all linked together? Sorry i just need to understand, cuz i can't leave things unknown.

  6. Umm? I do know what I'm doing. They are all getting chained together. Why is this a problem? what is going to happen? tell me please
  7. Enplane to me why this is a bad thing? Taking three 10.39 ohm woofers baby chaining them together so they would be at a 4 ohm load then baby chain the last one to the 2 7.20 ohm subs to give me a 2.5 ohm final load. All the ohms are is resistance. Seriously someone needs to enplane in a professional way to me why this is sooooo bad? Just don't laugh at me and say oh your fucktarded and can't do that....that does not teach me anything!
  8. Ya man I couldn't agree with you any more. The tripple JL W0's sounded amazing..I was just thinking it would be kinda kool to have 5 tens in the back of my S-10 when i get it!!!!!
  9. Why is it a bad thing to run 2 different ohm woofers together? They are all svc woofers so they will be baby chained together and adding the 2ib4's to the W0's will just give it less resistance.
  10. You really think it would be a great noticeable difference? And also baaudio might be rite. They are really low wattage subs, and they are real OLD-SKOOL JL subs.I was planing on making a big box For all 5 woofers.Baaudio may have a good point. JL woofers sometimes only sound good in sealed...IMO...I have put my JL 12"s in a sealed and ported and they liked the sealed way better,and they also sounded alot better in the sealed. Maybe not as loud but sounded nice at high levels.
  11. Why? There is no harm in putting different subs together? What would be wrong with that? They are almost the exact same sub....Diff mags and a little different motor. Same foam, same cone, and same kind of basket. Almost same kind of coil too. Just The dub0's i have are 10.39ohms and the 10IB4's are 7.20ohms. And i like this because only running the W0's would give me like a 4ohm load and when i throw in the 2 IB4's It brings it down to a 2.5ohm load...Perfect for a daily bump.
  12. Hey I have 3 10" woofers and I am in the process of refoaming them. They are JL dub0's They sound nice and hit pretty hard. I'm just curious if i add my 2 JL IB4-10"s will it make it any louder..I know it will make the displacement bigger and I will be moving more air. Therefor you would think i would be louder but will it be noticable. Someone told me it would be a wast of my time because it would only give me like 2-5db maybe if i'm lucky...IDK? Give me your feedback. Thanks alot
  13. well i already know there is a problem with the sub....it does not play!!!!!! what is this testing?
  14. Hey everyone. I got a bud that bought a used RE SX15 of ebay. Well he got the sub and hooked it up to 1ohm to the elemental nine.1.(elemental desighns biggest amp on the market) The amp is rated for like 1200watts. I think max would be like 1500 on it. Anyways he hooked the sub up and he said he was bumpin it and it just quit. He let me check it out and all the leads are intact, sub moves in and out free with the touch of your hand. The subs v.c.'s both read the correct ohms also. Soooo my question to you guys is what could possibly be wrong with the sub? We hooked it up in several different vehicles whith different amps and setups: same thing no sound out of the sub...None of the amps go into protect or shut off, and all the amps have sufficient power and are well grounded. Please help! I noticed a slight spot by the terminal on one of the v/c's it lookes like melted a smidget. barley noticable. maybe from the factory? no black burnt colors on the lead though? So J/W what you all may think? And my freind was also wondering if it would be possible to take a RE SXX recone and put that in his SX basket and magnet? He was curious if that would work? I don't know much about Re at all so thats why I ask. One more question: Has anyone had problems with the RE SE, or any Re subs + lead wire breaking? I have seen 2 diff RE SE15"s with either 1 or both + lead wires snapped.
  15. I built a passive radiator system with 2 12"s facing back in the trunk and an 18" with the coil,spyder and everything gutted out except for the cone. It worked great. It was really different than other systems. The sound was kinda cool. Alot of work goes into them though. Idk if anyone really understands how to make a box for passive radiators? Someone may say they know but I think they are a big mystery. Trial and error. It was defanitly cool to see 2 12"s and an 18" in a box together! haha...lol...Also i did NOT have any problems with leads breaking or snaping off. I also did not have ANY damage to the 18" sub. I am actually currently rebuilding it for power usage again.
  16. Ok, thanks for the contact info....Ya i was just wondering what you meant when you said he made you some....lol Ok..got it now..lol and do you remember how much the recones costed from him? jw..lol thanks alot man! When i contact Rusty, should i tell him i know you?
  17. .....<So in your opinion the RE.SE hit alot of notes that the SX. Could not? Do you think the SX could get louder than the SE in some situations? Or no? JW your own opinion? I have a buddy that had SE's then he bought a SX and they look almost identical. Same spider,leads,cone,...I also think the baskets are the same, idk don't qoute me on that one though i only seen it for a second. Only noticable difference to me was: the SX's magnet was slightly larger?
  18. ......Also, do you know for a fact if fixmyspeaker.com has recones for a eclipse titanium 15"? jw...lol sorry for the stupid questions. I am a senior in H.S. and I have been into car audio since i was 14. I use to set the big kids shyt up when i was a freshman...lol. Ya hit me up again and let me know if they do?
  19. I'm sorry i don't know who Rusty is? any contact info? And When he built you some recones what does that mean? You sent him your old one and he put a new coil,leads, and spider on it? or he just made you a complete new one? Also what do you guys think a blown sx shud cost? Sub in pretty good shape, just unraveled that coil.
  20. Ya seriously, people that get caught up with having to have name-brand stuff, sometimes are not the brightest. I've had a few freinds run thick ass house wire through there car...haha...lol I laughed so hard after they texted me and told me to come over and see there new 0gauge. But you know what? It still powered the amp efficiently and did not clip. It didn't melt or anything either. It was impossible to work with and really hard to strip the insulator coating off it but it worked and it was free! They found it at a old house that was getting gutted.
  21. Hey guys, I have a few questions that i need some answers for. Does anyone know if there is a recone for the Eclipse Audio Titanium 15" woofer? And if so, where can i find it and what is the price of the recone? Also has anyone experianced these drivers? Good,Bad about them? I am also wondering if anyone knows where i could get a Re.SX recone for cheaper then $100 bucks? JW? And I am wondering if there is a big sound difference between the RE SE's and RE SX's? Thanks alot you guys...Big Help!
  22. I could not find any comps in wisconsin.
  23. Thanks alot man. I will check them out today and let you know if i find anything?
  24. Hey I'm from the wonderful state of Wisconson. I am finally deciding to make an appearance at a car audio comp. I am just wondering if anyone could supply me with the locations of comps, rules of the comps around here, also what audio association hold the comp? I am from the mid-west portion of the state. Thanks alot guys! Also feel free to add how you did at them.
  25. Is Thug mansion the name of the song? what is the artist?
