    enclosure for 12 inch fi bl subwoofer

    I emailed Scott@Fi for the box dimensions. Is it true that if i use those dimensions, its a prefab box? Someone told me. If i use FI's box dimensions, is that like buying a box right off the shelf?

    confused about enclosure

    I have my 3/4 thick mdf cut. Took me about 3 hours just to cut it. The only thing im confused about is putting 2 pieces of wood together. Would i have to apply wood glue to the 2 pieces, attach them together, and wait till it dries, then predrill, then screw? Im really confused. This is my first box. I dont want the edges to crack.

    confused about enclosure

    i got it. it wasent that hard, but at first i thought it was. What i did was pre drill one corner and the other, the right and left side, then i would apply glue, put back the sheet of mdf back then drill 2 screws on the left and right side. Then i would do the middle since it is now secure

    just getting used to car audio

    I just turned 17 and im getting a 2010 maxima next week. I ordered a 12in fi bl fully loaded and a sundown sae 1200d. I also ordered a stinger 0 gauge amp kit. Scott@ficaraudio sent me an enclosure that is 2.3cf and tuned to 33hz. I am planning on doing the big 3 upgrade, all 0 gauge and building the enclosure myself. This is the first time im getting a system. Is it going to be VERY loud for my very fisrt time having a system. The sundown sae 1200d is capable of producing 1500 watts rms at normal operating voltage, thats what jacob fuller at sundown audio told me by email. So is that 1500 watts rms going to pound my chest? I have heard, in my school, 2 mtx 7500's in a sealed enclosure. The amp was mtx it was about 800wrms. The wire from the battery to the amp was 4 gauge, and plus the enclosure was right off the shelf. Would i be able to blow this person away? I have also heard, from my best friend, 2 jl w7's the 12's. He has 0 gauge wiring, and the big 3 upgrade. He has 2 amps the 1000/v2. It sounded great. He did not change his alternator or get an extra battery. All he did was do the big 3. Will mine be loud like that?
  11. Does it really matter what RCA cables you use from your headunit to your amp?
  12. I have a sundown sae 1200d, which can handle 1500 at 1ohm..... I also have a 12 inch fi bl fully loaded. Would i have to get an extra battery or do the big 3. Will i be fine if i just do the big 3 upgrade? I have a zero gauge amp kit.
  13. im getting my system installed next week. Am i going to get bored of it after a while? Will it not seem as loud as it was when i first put it in because i got used to it? I am going to run 1500 watts rms. i have a sundown sae 1200d, 12in fi bl fully loaded, 0 gauge amp kit, and im going to do the big 3 upgrade. This is all going in a 2010 maxima
  14. solder the wire into the terminal so it will be nice and tight and it will give u maximum power...

    subwoofer and amp installation

    Yes, you should be fine with the big 3, like i said earlier get a dmm or a stinger volt meter and watch your voltage....this will signify if you need another battery or not I think thats what im going to do. Im going to have my system installed by cartunes. They will take care of it. If you dont mind can you send me pics of your system.. ur btl 18 and ur amp please

    subwoofer and amp installation

    My man my friend has a 12 inch jl w7 and a 1000/v2 amp in a navigator and it is loud as hellll broo. it vibrates the cars around us and sets off car alarms. Were in the back of the school and people could hear us in the front. I cant even breath in nhis car. I wonder what my 1500 watts rms with sundown sae 1200d and the fi bl is going to do...

    subwoofer and amp installation

    I live in the west bloomfield area.. By 14 mile and orchard lk rd. Now can you please tell me... Im getting my car in about a week its a 2010 nissan maxima.. Would i be good if i just do the big 3 with 0 gauge wire becuase the alternator is about 170 amps. Ohh and is the sae 1200d very loud.. Loud enough it will vibrate the cars around you and soumd good the same time..lol
  22. Today im going to build my 1st box for the fully loaded fi bl 12in. Im going to be using 3/4in thick mdf fiber board. Would i have to use braces to hold the box, its just one 12in, and also i have a Sundown sae 1200d amp. Is it capable of producing 1500watts rms. What would you have to adjust the amp to to have a good, loud sound? I have a Stinger amp kit 0 gague, and extra 25 feet of 0 gauge wire for the big # upgrade, and i also have a kinetic battery the khc 1600. Just recentley my friend got his system installed. He has the same equipment as i do, but he has the FI Q. Let me tell you, it is LOUD AS HELL, For just one 12inch... omg i could barely breath. To be honest it is wayy better than the 12inch jl w7.. Dont know why people waste there money on w7's.. So anyway isent the bl more (louder) than the Q?.. And is the bl a mix of both spl and sq? OHH and we both got our box dimensions from FI sales

    building my enclosure today!

    How would you tune the amp. The sundown sae 1200d? can the brace be metal or wood? Does it really matter?
