sorry for the delay in my reply, i was waiting for FI to tell me if it was too late to change the option, they just got back to me yesterday...ok so i will go with ported, for height i can go up to 24''

i just sent FI email to see if they can change the high QTS option for sealed set ups, if they still have time i will go ported, id like the outside of the box to match my interior which is gray, i dont need it to look anything fancy..no shows or competitions in her future, just daily use..i can go a few more inches in height not a problem..the terminals i will leave up to you where you think they will best suited..i will be using only 2 amps a mono and a 4 channel, i hope i have given you enough info, if not please let me know and i will do my best, also i know with ported i will need more then just 6 cu ft per sub, they suggest 6-10 per sub, im thinking maybe 8 per sub? thank you

shopping around for some prices, need a enclosure for 3 18'' 6 cu ft each, sealed, going in a 2002 yukon denali, took the 3rd row seat out so im willing to use all the space i have back there

i know first thing everyone will say is why sealed, ive just been a sealed type of guy all my life, nothing against ported..but its not my taste..so i know on fi's site for 18's they suggest 4-8cu ft per sub..im having a shop make my box for me so its not like i can experiment with different sizes..so for a sealed application and for a mix of rap and rock what do you guys suggest in a box size for each 18? space isnt a issue its going in the back of a denali

thanx for the input, i forgot to mention i will be only sending 800 watts per driver

I dont have much experience with this so how would the sound differ if I went with the minimum 4cu per sub, the middle 6cu per sub, and the max 8cu per sub? Again im looking for a daily driver for rap and rock, I dont want it just to be loud and sound like ass lol, id like it to sound good

well i have the space to go the full 8 cu ft per sub that fi recommends, but whats the perfect balance for these subs? like i said mostly listening to rap and rock..no burps or competitions, just a daily driver..

3rd row seat is gone..lol so i have lots of space now, ive actually heard some good ported set ups, one of which was 3 audio que hdc3's i believe they are with around 2000 watts going to each and it made me cream my pants..lol but ive always loved that sound you only get from sealed set ups..

im going to be using a hifonics brz 2400 watt model amp, am i ok running just 1 strand of 0 gauge wiring to the battery or should i do 2?

thanx guys, i wont be competing at all, just a daily driver..but im of the mind set, if your going to do something then do it right..i want to make sure i have all my corners covered

hey guys, i ordered 3 Q 18'' subs which i intened to use in a ported application but for some reason not sure how the high QTS option was selected..and in the options it says this is for only sealed applications..so i sent a email thinking i would be ok since it says there is a 30 day wait time but i just got a email saying my subs have shipped so im not sure if they got my email in time and made the change or not, so my question is how bad will it sound if i still throw them in a ported box even though they say the option is only for sealed applications?

i was wondering how many of you guys use ipods over cd's and cd changers in your cars? do you get the same quality out of the ipods that you would from cd's? this may sound stupid and i know it doesnt make sense so please correct me here, but im under the impression that music will play louder and better from cd's over using a ipod...again i know it sounds stupid..but id like to hear some opinions from the ipod users here

i had a few shops tell me the best way around music skipping from bass is to use a cd changer, they said the cd;s will never skip provided they are not scratched..any truth to this?

you guys bring up a good point about the bass making cd's skip, you think i will run into that with my set up that im putting in my truck in a few weeks? 3 fi Q 18's with 800 watts to each in sealed enclosure? i actually do want to go the ipod route so i wont deal with cd's all over the place, not to mention the embarrassment of music skipping in public..

relax guys, no need to get riled up here, i dont want to be a a$$ and send a hundered emails, they are busy has it is, im hoping they just catch my first email in time or hopefully they see this thread..

im picking up a 12'' bl and i read the best tuning for is 32hz, can i get some box designs to hand to the audio shop thats building the box? this is my first time going with ported and i know nothing about vent area and how many sq inches of port..so i could really use some help..90% of the music will be rap but id like it to be musical not just a fart canon or muddy, it will be a daily driver

what dont you understand about my question? i told you the sub, the size, the type of music, its going in a trunk..what more do you need? let me know and i will do my best

that just tells me the size i need plans if you didnt read your build shows for multiple subs..doesnt help me at all

hey guys im going 3 cu ft for 2 level 3 12's what kind of tuning do you guys use for these for rap? keep in mind just cause its rap i dont want it to sound like muddy ass..lol id like it to be musical..each sub will be getting 500 watts..this will be my first time with ported and i dont know shit about port area, volume all that stuff..and im having the shop build the box for me and install it, so if you guys can give me some numbers i can write them down and hand them to the shop..by the way reason im going with 3 cu ft is cause on there website it says 1.5 per 12'' unless you guys know something that works better

phuck it im getting 2 bl 10's id love to go 12's but a 5 cu ft box is to big for my trunk 2007 cadillac cts..im already gona have a battery back there so i think 2 10's ported will be nice

after reading tons of reviews and watching a ton of vids on you tube my 8 month journey has brought me to fi tomorrow im ordering 2 15'' q's..i will be sending around 2000-2500 watts in total..now i need some help please guys..id like some suggestions on what size box to go for both sealed and ported..because im not building my own box im having a shop do it for me so i cant just try a few boxes i dont have the funds to do that..90% of the music will be rap and the other 10% will be a mix of all other kinds of music..going 15's i obviously want it loud but id like it to be musical..have sq to them..im not just looking to sound like a fart canon or anything..i hope this info helps with the box decisions and dimensions thank you

lol..this makes me laugh when i have read people sending these things over 1000 and people say oh they will purr nicely..but i want to send them rated people tell me they will blow only cause i have enough power on tap for a bl..but you guys dont understand i dont want a bl..i want a sealed setup

not sure why it would blow with 2000 watts when they are rated at 1000 watts each ive got a alpine Alpine MRP-M2000..im thinking going sealed at 5 cu ft total for both

according to the site i would go 3 cu ft tuend to 34hz..but i was wondering what some people have gone with and how it turned out..it will be 90% rap music

i may have to go sealed then if they like bigger boxes..im limited on space trunk of a 2007 cadillac cts
