    Hello, I am a new fan of FI CAR AUDIO and I just placed an order for a single BL 12" woofer. I also added the dual2, pchamfer,and the flatwind options. I plan on using it for daily "pounding" and at this time no SPL applications (maybe later with different project car!). The amp I have is a Rockford Fosgate 1000rms amp. I will definately upgrade to (2) speakers and possibly a second RF 1000rms amp when money permits!!! My questions are these: Should I have also included the "cooling option" in the purchase of my BL 12? and can I still add it now? or is it too late? If poss. (and it is recommended) then I would like to do so. Please inform me to how. gary

    For as long as I've been in car audio (not long), sub break-in has been a topic I haven't had a clear answer in. My question is, what T/S parameters will change once the woofer has had adequate break-in time, that is if any change (this would make me think its a myth). I've heard that the Fs of the driver lowers because the spider(s) loosen up, and if that is true would it also affect Qms of the driver? The reason I ask this question is regarding the Maw 15, would the break-in of this woofer affect which enclosure to stick it in? I have been modeling this woofer in WinISD and the woofer looks optimal with a 32hz tuning instead of a 30hz tuning you guys suggest(this is wit…

    damnit...i modeled the IB15 in a 16 cu ft. sealed enclosure on BBP6 and it looked really really good...very flat, no peaks or dips and a very mellow roll off with an -3db point right around 20 hz it doesn't model much different from having 160 cu ft of airspace at all...a slightly lower f3 could i just do the IB15 in a big sealed enclosure and still benefit from the advantages of an IB install? but Robert...seriously? sounds like you will have a bangin' sub set up when you are done! i hope to see a build from you in the near future!

  18. Prices dropped on all items listed currently! One-of-a-kind speakers for sale here. The X12 will provide exceptional SQ and output sealed (if nobody buys it soon I might use it). The Konaki hybrid will provide a good response sealed OR ported. The TC-9 based sub would make a good burp sub tuned relatively high. It would also do well in a moderately high tuned vented enclosure (like Digital Designs spec ported) for daily beating. You can re-cone this with just about any parts you want... if you buy a re-cone elsewhere be sure to mention the extra spacers added so the re-cone will have the voice coil aligned properly. I can acquire re-cone parts for any of these drivers in …

    well I recently got an SPL 12 and I was doing some "breaking in" with the wall outlet. well the top layer of paper on the cone started seperating from the rest, and the cap eventually came off during regular use. My question is: Do I recone using mach 5 parts, or should I look for a tougher recone? Also, until I recone I will continue to use the woofer (gluing the cap back on) until I've decided. One more question directed at Mark. Is there any way that you could get different cones in?

    Haven't built anything in a few months, so I've got the itch. Decided I want to do an MJ18 to add to my set up in the gym. Simple 2 channel set up with some Klipsch Legends and a Denon receiver that mostly plays 80's metal or 80's old school/dance stuff to get me fired up. Looks like 4.5^3 @ 30Hz is pretty popular for music, so that's what I plan on doing. Don't need any low freq stuff, just some nice punch for kick drums, etc... Box will be slot ported and downfiring and will also have a TV stand built on top of it, so it's functional. I'm used to building car boxes and normally do 12" of port area per cube of box. How much port area do I need for the MJ in a 4.5^3 box…
