so i haven't been on here for awhile since been i have been extremely busy with my new house, puppies, and building my currect truck but now that summer is coming around it is time to relax, open up the windows and blast some tunes. so here is my question. i have a behringer 2500 for my sub duties in my home theater. i'm looking for a sub or subs that handle music well in a home theater application while sealed. i've tried ported applications in my house and with vaulted and peaked ceilings it makes it way to "peaky" and was not to my liking at all for all kinds of music. so what subs should i look into for a floor firing sealed applcation. size isn't a concern and i'll build the box myself so i can use whatever internal space. i'm just looking for an overpowering sub stage to keep up with rock and rap with my current 7 speaker ht set-up since i usually use all speakers in 7 channel stereo mode when cranking the tunes and working around the house. thanks for the help in advance hopefully i can order something this week since it's driving me nuts with no low end grunt at the moment

think that will be enough? do they make different ohm loads?

I don't want used really. I've had a lot of adire gear. I don't need anymore. The tune was in the low 30s. It was crazy peaky.I wanna stay will sealed for ease of box design also.....

Budget. Not really sure. I already have a few hundred it the amp and 50 feet of wiring and connectors. Maybe like 500 on the high end

i can use whatever as long as it performs with power and ohm load i have. i've considered everything from one high powered 10 to a stack of 18's........ but i've been out of the game for so long that i have no idea where to go look....

so i finally hooked up my new yamaha 661 with my new behringer ep 2500. just used my sub out to an rac to an rca.xlr adapter. just temporarily hooked it up to my ported kicker til i decide what ht set-up i want. now here's my problem. there is almost no output from my sub, with much more power then my speakers i can't even hear it because when i turn it up my new ep2500 almost instantly goes into clipped and kills the signal. any ideas? i'm such a newb to ht it hurts

actually, i think its actually my sub now thats sucking. to chitty of sub and to high of tuning. it should be putting out more output for the power its getting. hopefully i don't pop the sub haha. i'm lost now i played a lil john song and it was louder then chit. change songs with a different tuning and it thorughs it into clipping or has crappy output

i guess, i priced it out locally and i would of only saved a few bucks and it wasnt worth the hassle. screw needing a pipe bender for some of that chit

ive seen no problems with my short use of irragi's but that is if you can get ahold of him and get what you want. also fuse everything imo. not at 400 amps is it really a fuse since you'd probably burn your wire long before hand, but you can get anl fuses from 250-400 amps

whats wrong with knu

i love optimas and thats all i have to say

imo if he was going for every tenth he wouldn't be using 2 guage wire or a 165 amp alt when they make like 400 for those jeeps, hell i was gonna put a 300+ into my 96 cherokee and i didn't give a chit about the meter. get some 1/0 and pull the stock chit off. it's ugly and has asmall guage on those jeeps anyways and mine had some piece of chit termianls and terrible crimps from the factory. or if you need that tenth that may or may not exist use two runs of 1/0 for extra DBZ, or better straight bus bars. and yes i'm being a smartass

actually, not that i have a problem with my knu wire, but it is much smaller then my 1/0 monster cable and thats just comparing stripped knu wire to stripped monster cable wire

give him a hundred dollar gift certificate and tell him to go get his own chit

off topic but why?

also i'm gonna use it bridged at 4 ohms for the pair of 18's i pick and bridged at 8 ohms for the temperorary set up

so i was bored today and went to guitar center to play with some eq's and some of the rack amps and tower speakers i could never afford. well i remembered i want to look at the behringer ep2500 to power what i want for subs in my ht. i talked with a pretty cool actually knowledgable guy. asked about the amp. said he didn't have any in stock and went and look at em online. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringer-Euro...544-i1145402.gc , so we talked alittle bit and he pulled them up on the computer to see if any other stores stocked them locally, there wasn't but he found this. if i was willing to wait a week behringer would mail one to the store for $199, $150 off no questions ask. how could i turn that down. my amp should be here next thursday or friday. so just to figure out what adapters i need and i'll be ready to pound the walls. so if you guys want one and your guitar center would order you one they are 199

so i should only need one adapter then correct?

i'm just using for subs and i only need 1600 watts out of it. also i'm gonna use the adapters they have at guitar center when i pick it up. they have some sweet ones and thousands of types to choose from. as for the fan being loud i could care less as it won't be any where near me. as for a "preamp" i'm not really gonna use a strictly pre amp. i'm gonna steal the sub output signal from either my NAD receiver or my new Yamaha 861 reciever i pick up for x-mas. thanks for the link on the adapters thou. hopefully there is a bridged mode on the 2500 so one input source feeds both channels.

I'm not upset or anything. I just laugh how people say one product sucks then compare it another that costs atleast twice as much. It better be twice as good for twice as much. As for performance what do you mean. If its behringer or a damn crown they both out the power I want. I don't need any crossovers or filters, I don't need a fancy name or buttons. I just want power and the behringer can do that just fine IMO.

Sorry I guess next time ill spend hours searching online for used goods that cost twice or five as much without a warranty, have to pay shipping, rather then drive 2 minutes from my house for brand new, cheaper, warrantied goods that do the same exact thing. Sorry end rant

what kinda pre amp you looking for? get a matching behringer

looking to use 2 Mach5Audio MAW-15's or 2 mj-18's in a downfiring sealed box for my ht. power would be coming from a behringer rack amp. what size box would be recommended for either set-up . thanks

wonder how the spl 12 would do well in ht. like 2400 watts and sealed....

i just want stupid out put. i could go with 15's or 18's. but the 18's have more efficency and more cone area for not $ more. box size i also don't care. i'll just check out the ohm loads ....
