151+ @30hz!!! on 2 BTL n2 12's ....from teh trunk

[Skillz 3]

What's up everyone! So you guys are probably used to me posting stuff on Team Sundown Russia with everything being pretty much 100% Sundown gear with a few Skars or Obsidian thrown in to the mix. This time we went a little out of our way to pick up some awesome Fi BTL n2 12's (Thanks Scott! thanks Am!!)

here we are unboxing, busting balls over how stiff the spider pack is and generally bullshitting in Russian

We plugged them into our in-shop Audi A4 sedan, which has lately become our test mule for just about anything we can get our hands on.

It's not sealed off, subs forward, 6" port firing to the side....it's usually used for door open demos at meets and what not, so we set it up to meter that way..it generally peaks 29-30Hz and is within a db from 28 to 38hz, dropping less than 2 at 25hz. Does great on all types of music, moves quite a bit of air and is generally a surpise to most folks..... anyhow, enough rambling.

Fi BTL n2's in the box

we usually have a Sundown SAZ3500D in there wired to 0.5 (BTLs are also d2's), but since they were obviouslu begging for moar powa we let 'em have it and uleashed a brand new Sundown Audio NS-1 amp on them ( we have clamped upto 9k from one on a big 12v battery bank, but here we are likely pushing closer to 6k considering how it drops to mid 11's) ...still, plenty power for sure

Electrical can use an upgrade from the stock alt....should be able to fit a Mechman unit on there soon. all the batteries are XS Power - 2 d5100's, a d6500 and the top secret D2250 (120+ Ah)....almost 300Ah worth of bats and a mixture of Shok Industries comp 0awg and XS Power cable

so far we have 151.1 on a tone

and 150.9 playing Gucci Mane's mi casa su casa

and some random footage

Subs are taking the power great, no problems at all. we're gonna see if we can clamp some power figures tomorrow and see what the box rise is. Maybe tweak a few things to up the score some

Nice! I always thought it was best to seal from the trunk when firing forward.

yah, that is usually the case, but we tried it a while back with some other subs and it didn't really do what we wanted

You guys would know!

Is this d2250 an xs power batt or a hawker type batt?

sealed off forward firing trunk boxes are very sensitive to box positioning (front/rear baffle, etc)....we could probably get it to work and be loud, but would have likely been much peakier

I think I need to plan my next vacation to come over and visit you guys. You could teach me more than I would ever know.

XS Power ....not running datasafe's - they just don;t last in the longterm

[Shogen 325]

nice stuff!!!

[edouble101 314]

That is a weird orientation on those battery terminals. You guys do big things over there. Proven by the fact that XSPower sends you proto batteries

So... How is the Fi doing compared to a Sundown driver? (NS, V.3)

haha, yea, maybe )))) ..... actually the teriminal location is one of the reasons I like this model - great for buss bars with the location in my truck

the n2s are great subs.....I wouldn't really want to go into comparing the two brands, especially considering the differences in spider pack stiffness and what not...it would really take two totally different enclousures to get the best out of either.

I was pretty baffled at how stiff my n2s were when i got them too. After a few months of loosening them up they got much louder. Id expect y'all to pick more bottom end up in the coming weeks.

very nice !!

I <3 My N2s

[BILTD 60]

Sorry they took so long, good results!

[SubSam 21]

I love my N2s too! I'm jealous of your NS-1 tho. I do a 148.2 @27 Hz with my D212s tho. Love that low end! I need more power however

Sorry for the shirt placement fail

[Skillz 3]

found box pics finally! sorry for the typo in the first post, port is 8"

box size is just a tad over 4 cubes net

it was initially made for Sundown z12v2's, hence them in the pics

[Skillz 3]

more pics

pic of the n2's

[Skillz 3]

we also went back a few days ago and tested them on a Sundown SAZ2500 and 150.1 which may indicate that the suspension has loosened up, or.. and this is more likely, the box runs out of breath and we need to change it up to really unleash the beasts of subs the n2's are

[SubSam 21]

Now I'm jealous of your aeroport
