    I just purchased a 3D printer and I've seen some tutorials on how you can use your camera phone and/or an Xbox Kinnect as a 3D scanner.

    No kidding?   I have an iPhone 12 Pro. I will look into that.  A coworker has a 3D printer as well.  I would love to know how to work with fiberglass. That would be the best option. However, the video I watched on YouTube took the guy forever to finish an enclosure. Also not sure about the quality/efficiency to run that q in one.

    Well, I understand Home Depot will actually cut the wood for me, so I can dot it myself.  How it would turn out with the correct aero port and tuning is more of a concern of mine. I would really like to figure out a way to utilize the upper space between the back seat and rollbar and go out approximately fifteen inches or so from the edge of the wheel well. Also keeping it short enough to fit under a Tono or cargo cover (15” or so). This will deter the transients around my place of work from trying to yank it out. 
     

    if I had a 3D scanner, it would help a ton. 
     

    the JL audio stealth box made for them is similar to what I have in mind. However, they only use the upper space, which ends up being a very small enclosure. It also sticks up too high for a cargo cover.

    I believe the Q has a range of 1000-1200 watts rms. I’ve heard many say they will take the higher end all day without issues. Anything in that range that won’t give up any time soon would be great. Others have suggested the Orion xtr 2500, sundown sia 3500 and sfb 3000. 
     

    I would like to spend less than a couple hundred bucks after trading or selling the Taramps and mount it under one of the seats, which is pretty small. (Taramp fits)

    I’m considering changing the amp for my FI q 12.

    may sound picky, however, the fan is kind of annoying. Even when I had it mounted all the way in the back of the old Jeep, it was noticeable. I am planning on mounting the amp for the q under the driver or passenger seat in this build and would like some input. I’m sure it will cost a little more. Not sure how much I can get out of the Taramps, or if a trade of some sort is possible somewhere. Seems to have plenty of power though.

    I had an enclosure built and waiting for it to arrive. I am impatient and wondering what you guys think about the demensions.

    I got a basic 12" Q D1.

    Sealed enclosure:

    Width= 14.75"

    Height= 12"

    Depth= 15"

    Which is said to be 1.27 cubic feet "net volume"

    I am planning on facing the sub upward toward the roof in the back seat of my truck

    Wire the coils in series..

    - of one side of the sub to the positive of the other side of the sub.

    Then you ook your positive and negative from your amplifier accordingly..you should have 2 terminals left with no wire in them. Hook the wire coming from the amp to those, positive, and negative respectfully.

    Thats what I thought. Thank you.

    I have my Q in a ported enclosure right now (2.3 @ 32Hz I believe) and I'm in the process of building a sealed enclosure (1 cuft). I should have it done this weekend so hopefully I can let you know what I think about it. It's just hard because I'm in college right now so my time is limited.

    I would go 1.1-1.2 gross, per, for the 12Q. Works great for me.

    2ea 12Q's firing forward into the rear seat in a mid sized four door car.

    it would sound better faced toward the trunk

    Louder, yes. Better(SQ Comp), no. And turning them around would also make aligning them with the front midbass a real PITA. Then you have all the trunk rattles. If I stop competing then i probably would turn them around.

    is a $100 too much for a custom built box?

    Email or forum contact only.

    I have emailed them twice. No response. I will send a third and try contacting on here.

    Now I feel like an idiot. I read the information regarding the process of building and shipping. Disregard this request. I can't wait to get the sub.

    I am planning on putting the box in the access (extra ) cab of my 06' Tacoma 4x4. Most likely behind the passenger seat.

    I have looked around for a custom box, and found one for $100.

    I have read a little about recommendations for size of sealed enclosures for the Q. Does anyone have some examples that they have built or used?

    I am not really sure how to figure out the cubes either. I know that sounds stupid, but I left math back in college.

    One last thing, what does "tuning to x-hz," mean?

    Thanks,

    flame all you want, just a new-B here
