  1. I ran 2 bl 18's in an expedition for over 2 years off 2 sundown 1500d's strapped and then changed to a sundown 3500d. Then I have ran seems like everything since then so I figured why not go back to what I was happy with at first

    Just curios, mind sharing what else you have used and how they compare in your opinion? I have a set of loaded 12 BL's and was contemplating in making them into 18's. Or just getting a BTL Neo.


  2. I would start buy graphing different box sizes and tunings for each subwoofer to determine which enclosure parameters gives each sub their "optimal" response, then i would compare those drivers to each other in their graphed "optimal" enclosure. i put optimal in quotes because that is based on preference. The recommended enclosure specs are generic, you want to find those specifications that will net the results/response YOU want. Of course cabin gain plays a huge role so it might be necessary to build several boxes in order achieve the exact sound you want, but that depends on how particular you are.

    Dont bother he already made up his mind. Something about a 6x9 with the tweets covered in masking tape.


  3. Sub and port are both back already. I thought that was kinda obvious in the picture. You'd be surprised at the music that goes to 30 and lower too, LOL. Lot of rap these days seems to enjoy dipping down into the 20s.

    Yeah was meaning to say sub back port up :( in fact If I was you id sacrifice one of those rear seats as that opens a whole new world for you. I do understand that this is simply not a option for most people. With one seat down Ill do a a 18 4th order BP and with two seats down...well you get the point. (dreamz)

    A box tuned to 32 will easily play a 30HZ or lower. If you set your infrasonic filter a wee bit below tuning before breakup becomes a problem you will be happy with it 99% of the time. I am not saying you should not do it. however in a car I will not tune lower then 30HZ personally. In fact these days I almost always go 32-35 for music.

    Any how all the replies you see here will be options based on personal opinions. All you need to do is to pick one if you can not decide for yourself.


  4. You could likely get 200 bucks for the W3. Try sub back port back. As for your options I say buy a Fi q and get a bigger deep-cycle. batt for the back. Do the Big 3 while you are at it and you should be good to go.

    O and try to build the box your self

    (design and build its not too hard)

    ...also your tuning is somewhat low. Try for around 32-35HZ for music honestly you will gain output and wont miss much at the bottom end.


  5. The soft parts are the same for the most part, spiders are different now on the most recent versions. The motor/cooling technology is significantly different then the previous Q. It is simply a continuation in more advanced design that happens over a period of time :).

    How can that be..? I thought the Q was the best and now its even better. :)
