Hello today is my first day on here and I hoping that maybe some of you guys on here could tell me of

a better sub on the market that would be louder than my hifonics goliath 12" sub. here are the specs for you:

quad coil 2 0hm

2400rms and 4800 peak watts

foam surround

aluminum cone

3"voice coil

160 oz mag. it weighs 38 lbs

it is n a ported box think it is n like 2.5 cubes

and I have a hifonics bxi 2608 amp

Welcome to the site. And before you get to beat up i would suggest you mention what kind of goals you are looking for? Not just a better sub. What are you looking for it to do? What kind of budget? What size's can you work with? Well GL with it all anyways!!

Welcome to SSA!

Before you look at buying a new driver, look at building an enclosure to optimize your current subwoofer.

I want it for compatition and I only want one 12" or one 15" sub. I think I have plenty of power for ne sub of that size

If you already have a decent sub, why are you wanting to change? Can you explain the reason for needing to change? What is your budget? Have you thought about redoing your current enclosure? Is it gonna be a one note wonder, or a daily also? There is alot of questions that you should help answer first. This site is great for helping, but we need to know what we are trying to help first.

Straight SPL competition ??? Street beat ??? Power Class ??? These things Will make a VERY big difference in determining tuning frequency.

Welcome ....

Try building a new enclosure to maximize the woofer you already have. If you still don't like it then change it out!

I want to change because when I really turn up my music and straight blast it my sub starts to give off a funny smell. Is it about to blow? all of my hifonics speakers make that smell. I thought that it was bad and that i am about to fry them. I run them for about 2 mins after I first smell the coils then I turn it down for a minute or two then go at it again. and what kind of box, how big and is the goliath quad coil sub sub ne good that i have? is a L7 better? or solo x better? what is a louder sub. or am I about maxxed out in the 12" range. I want to be able to listen to my music and turn it up ass loud as my lil ears can handle it.... maybe I just need one bad a** box

what kind of enclosure? how big and what kind of port?

Hello,

Let's start this way by asking you what kind of box are you running now sealed or ported??? For you to be gtell us about your box now and we can go from there....getting a smell from your coil most likely the box is not the right size and your amp may be clipping ...

That's not how it works hawk.

If you are smelling burning coils your pushing the thermal power handling of the woofer, your enclosure is pushing larger than recommended airspace, that can cause some problems.

you're not suppost to let the smoke out ...

may i ask how you have your woofer wired to a single bxi2608?

a quad 2 ohm woofer can only be wired to 2 or .5 ohms... which a bxi2608 puts out its most power at 1 ohm nominal.

It is hooked up to my amp at .5 ohms. All pos to pos and all negs to negs the amp can handle it fine but im sure if I had 2 dual 2 ohm subs wired down 1ohm each then to .5 ohms both together it would

prob be shutting off bc of all the resistance from both magnets. but one magnet does not create enough energy to hold back my bxi. I think I need to find me a better box. it is hella loud boud I am just

trying to get a little bit more out of it.. you may email me if you want. I have a hard time on this site I could not hardly find my post again lol [email protected]
