Test 1, 2, 3...

circular reasoning? are you in politics?

wow in all this im surprised nobody offered the idea of a nice fiberglass or carbon fiber enclosure. they look incredible painted to match the car are very strong if done properly and the lightest enclosures you can make

Alright...decided to go with the 12" BTL N2, fully loaded daily. Can't wait to get it! Went with the 12 strictly for space purposes, 4-5 cubes isn't realistic with my current setup, and I still would like to use my trunk on occasion. Gonna build a 2.5 cu. ft. 32hz box and see how it does with 1200w for awhile. Anyone have specs for an enclosure this size?

it depends on the box as in the tuning of the box for example 32 hz. ask your friend what hes gonna tune it to

ill be buying two more in by the 19th... would 4 12s in 7 cubes after all disp. @ 35 ideal with a 1500 on each one... the goal is 150 in a trunk car but will mostly be used as a daily system.

IF they are overrated they arent THAT overrated. I hear if you have the newer amps with the "80" fuses they put out pretty close...i have my Hifonics 1606D powering my Fi Q 15 to the MAXX. And i have my gain set to 3/4 to avoid clipping, but its still putting out AT LEast 1000 watts instead of 1200 at 3/4 gain

looks sick! Who did the design?

you are lookig at msrp prices bro ... not retail ... Call Ray for real prices if interested. Click on the Linear Power link on my sig for TIPS number ... Thanks, Randal ...

Sean, I noticed your comments on the BMW thread. I have the same problem with my vehicle. The rear seats dont fold down nor a ski hole. I was questioning whether or not to cut out the ski hole, still havnt made a decision.

I will try to take some pictures tonight and post them so that you can better understand what my trunk looks like.

I swapped out JUST the amp today, couldn't resist the temptation of trying it out. All I can say is why have I not made this purchase earlier. Sundown Kicks ass. And of all things its made about an hour away from my house. I might have to make a trip to see them in person and shake their hand. If anyone has any thoughts of getting one all I can say is DO IT. The Hifonics I had in here before just does NOT compare. Sorry guys the rest of the build will have to be put off for 2 weeks, gotta wait for another pay check to fund the rest of the supplies needed. But More will come.

going in a seat similar to this

I LOVE IT!!, I can't wait to put my SA-12's in that box.

Changed my mind, I want to do a middle T-shaped port now. Here are the new specs and diagrams. 3.65cf net per driver, which is within Fi's range of 3-5. Port area is 16.41 in^2 per cf, above the 12-16 recommended by Fi because there are TWO drivers sharing the same port. Modeling with WinISD puts port velocity within the range of the 23-30 m/s I'm seeing with Fi's recommended enclosures, so I think port area OK. Also, I'm going to be using a Sundown SAZ-3500D, so I'll be running with 3500 watts at least, not 3200 as in the thread title. Opinions please before I potentially waste a LOT of money on materials? I cannot change the outer dimensions, that is the max I can possi…

Rec specs say 1.8-2.5 cubic feet @ 28-33Hz, how's it too big?

wow..... well it sounds like you have it all figured out huh? yeah thats always my first target... ITS GOING TO BE LOUD.... ps.. how do i make it loud? you make me LOL.

actually are you still able to order these new? if so, hmm im still not sure on box design, this will be for daily use, could someone model me up a box, i was able to get my max dimenisions, 40" long, 12" deep and as tall as it needs to be, preferably not too tall though, i was thinking subs up, ports forward tuned to roughly 35hz. thanks guys!

For a box that will yield a .47 cu ft overall I got these dimensions: 12.5" W x 11.5" H x 9" D (outside measurements with 3/4 thick MDF). Anyone care to double check my #'s to make sure its good before I have my box built? edit: 12" x 13.5" x 8" looks good. Looks like I've got 2 possible boxes to work with.

How would it not be stable? Its working right? I forgot that you really wouldnt run an amp at a ridiculiously low ohm load in a daily setup.

DEL:ETE

my stomach just dropped fml.

I explained port size so ported...

$100 extra dollars and jumping from 600wrms to 1500wrms amplifier is going to be even more.

i wouldn't throw anymore than 3000watts with the proper electrical daily...also thats with proper tuning too
