    Bass question?

    are you clipping your system? after looking at all the equipment you have you might be sending a distorted signal to your woofers after the midway point.

    12"Q's or BL's and what options 6th order BP?

    that box looks sweet! more pics needed! what kind of wood is that, i'm using birch for mine.the q's should make a good bit of difference i would think. it might not be as dramatic as BL's but the increased power handling with the cooling option should be a big diffrence over the ssd's. i have the old ssd's that are rated at 800w and i have a crossfire vr4000. the ssd's are not going to be able to handle all the power i want to put out, i know i can tune the crossfire to put out roughly 3k-3500 and those q's should take it easily. i have 270a alt, two batcap 2000's, sealed grp 31 batt up front. Yea Thanks bro! I built it myself. Its a single layer of 3/4 MDF. Normally a single layer of MDF would not be able to handle this much power without flex, but my box actually is inside my false floor of my jeep for extra space and to make it tighter. The box has about 6 hours of sanding to about 220 Grit. Then i Stained and varnished it. I did however double baffle the front for the submerged FI symbol. Then i placced random screws in that so that it would have an old timey furniture look to it. All together i was very pleased with it. Also I realllllllly want FI q's just because they can go sealed. Im personally a very big fan of sealed enclosures granted they are not as loud. yeah sealed boxes are nice but i'll never go back to them i just love my boomyness too much lol. yeah i stained mine with a kindof rustic looking to give mine an old piece of furniture look i didnt go with the gloss stain more subdued. ill post pice probably tomorrow.

    when they do come in i will make sure to let everyone know what difference the Q's made and probably do a vid. people are impressed with just the ssd's so i can imagine the q's are going to step it up a notch lol

    2 fi ssd's

    kicker 2500 rated at 2ohms, just be careful tuning it and you are fine there is one for sale on caraudioclassifieds. org. there is also the crossfire vr2000 rated at 2k at 2ohms if you can ever find one for sale. soundigital and stetsom makes amps that do 2k+ at 2ohms

    dammit so bl's would have been better? man i knew i should have gotten those. peeps was sayin not to get the bl's because they needed big boxes. even tho the specs say they could be in boxes less than 2.8 cu ft

    i think there was a slight micomunication here. i currently have the ssd's in the box and was deciding on wether to get Q's or Bls. but since the q's work in smaller boxes i went ahead and ordered a set . now i see why people were saying i wouldnt get any gain, musthave thought i already had the q's and was tryin to go up to the bls.

    . here is a few pics of the box as it was being built. my bud haswon and placed in competitions in texas and louisiana with two 18" sundowns in 6th order in his blazer, so he has a bit of knowledge. il see if he remembers the diminsions and post them. he mentioned that he made this box with the qs in mind.

    Absolutely the only reason for a BP in car. For your needs 6 > 4 so nice work. Only problem here is that it MUST be designed for the driver being used. Change the driver, change the design. That being said you can model the difference.k well i guess i'll just stay with the ssd's in the current setup. it took a long time for my buddy to build this box it's rock solid, and i really hadn't planned on him making another one just because i got the hankerin for some different woofers lol. thank yall for helpin me out cause otherwise i would have bought the Q's or BL's and probably been dissapointed with them in the box. i reeeally wish there was another way to stick that box in there without havin to bandpass it.

    12"Q's or BL's and what options 6th order BP?

    yeah i know it isn't optimal because 4th and 6th order boxes arent as musical as a regular ported or sealed box. i know the difference won't be huge but the ssd's i have are not the newer ones they are about 3yrs old.plus the older ssd's are rated for 800w. they are a bit underrated but 1k+ apiece is maxing them out. i am going to need to get a different set of woofers so i can run my amp wired closer to 4k instead of the current 2k. i wanted the q's because the box requirements are similar enough to the ssd's that a new box isn't necassary, they can take the power and they work in smaller boxes. i just dont know what options i should get if i go with those or should i just go with them as is. i will just contact the guys at FI and see what they think also. thanks.

    oh well i was hoping that i could get away with just cutting and pasting different woofers in the same box. thanks.

    12"Q's or BL's and what options 6th order BP?

    thanks, i was lookin at the box specs for all the woofers and they are within the 1.5-2.5 range so i shouldnt have to build a bigger box. i was just thinking that the better power handling capabilities should give me a bit more output and control at the power i want to run them at.
