Any suggestions I have 2 box one black slot port specs are: 3.6 net after displacement tuned to 32-33 hz 2.5" port width 48 square inch of port area, both box are the same size 20d x 26w x 21h, and the aero box specs are: 4.5 net after displacement tuned to 32-33hz, 3 4" aero port 38 square inch of port area, wanted to put a sp4 v2 15 which would you guys prefer to used, I'll do a dual 12 or 15 on my other upcoming car but for now is single 15"

I have a sundown x10 in 2cubic foot box aero port tuned to 32 hz now. Amp is skar sk1500v2 car is 2011 Toyota Camry sub and port are rear facing towards trunk lid about 1foot away. Looking to go with fi ssd fully loaded 10 in same box for better sq and still maintain a nice punch. Would this box be to much for this speaker? I love the x 10 from 32hz to about 45 hzeverything else it seams to struggle with? Would more power be the solution or should I go with something like the fi?

nevermind..

I can get a Fi SSD 12" or a IA Lethal Injection 15" for about the same price. Which one would you recommend for a small sealed box with 1100x1 @ 2ohms which is what my boston gt28 amp puts out. ???

Fi SSD 15 . Copper Coil How much RMS will this take without any chance of blowing. Says 800rms, but how much will it take to really slam, safely, (my box is 3.5 cubic feet. 33hz)

I just ordered (2) FI SSD and I'm wondering how big I should go on the box. I want to get the most I can out of the subs. They will be powered by my sundown SAZ 2500d. The biggest dimensions I would like to go are: 44w x 36d x 25h. The 36d gives me about 7 inches from the hatch door. The FI website calls for 3-4 cubes a piece at 33 hz. How big do you think I should go? What tuning frequency? Any help is appreciated.

Does someone have all the specs to the old SSD's? I want to have them just for references because Fi took them down off of their website. Thanks is advance.

Just finished an install today on a friends car (1994 Toyota Corolla) It consists of the following: Alpine CDA 9884 2 10" Fi SSD (brand new, no options) in a 1.35 cubic foot sealed enclosure BIG 3 (4 AWG) Stock batt up front, Motomaster Elimintaor in the rear 4 AWG wiring throughout Memphis 16-MC1500D @ 2 ohms For some reason, after no more than 10 minutes of test tones (from 25hz to 40hz) at around 75% volume the amp goes in and out of protect mode. All we were trying to do was loosen the woofers up a bit. Car was started, and gains weren't even at full potential. Fuse holder w/ voltage display states that the voltage was around the 11.8V range before it went into prote…

how do they compare, my buddy has 2 15inch re se and he wants something louder, so i was looking at the ssd's do you think they would be just generaly louder?

I'm trying to get some bass in my 2013 Tahoe and wanted to know what's a good amp to push 3 15 Fi sub's I'm not worried about price because I'm going all out with this.

I keep telling a buddy of mine to go with Fi instead of a Circuit City MTX Jack Hammer Box with 2 12" subs. Please give me some advice or videos for me to give him. Fi BL 15" vs 2 12" Jackhammer series MTX subs. I am giving him my Hifonics Bx1606d amp so he has power and he has room for both. Any advice would be great. If you have a 15" Fi BL vid please show it off. Thanks.

Hey I'm doin a build for a guy. He wants a fiberglass console. I am trying to see what materials I am going to need. (mdf, resin, and fleece.) Is that all? Also when I build the box do I just bulid the skeleton, stretch the fleece over it, and paint on the resin? I've bbuilt several boxes but never done much fiberglass so all info is appreciated.

Lately I've been looking into Fibeglass subwoofer enclosures and I'm just wondering if they function any differently then an MDF enclosure? I've done some research and wouldn't think it would affect the sound if it was properly constructed but alot of people online have said that MDF is the way to go. Is that just because MDF is so much easier to work with or does fiberglass really affect the output of the woofer? Also, after looking around the site alot of people here use fiberglass for speakers and midbass drivers but not many use it for Subs and that got me worrying about it too. If any of the Guru's here could shed some light on the subject it would be greatly appreci…

ill be fg'ing some a pillar pods as well as sealing large (roughly 2' by 1.5') holes the 2 fronts doors. the A pillar pods are for one 3" fullrange driver (on each side). im looking for a good site or store to buy the amount of products i will need to complete these projects? later ill be posting question on how to do the fiberglass since this will be my first time.. i have a rough idea of how to do it but im sure ill run into problems... so im just just looking for some rough figures on how much shit i need to buy to get this done, as well as, a cheap retailer. thanks

So last weekend our teach put us in groups of 5 and give each group a topic. all the topics are related to electrical components and what not. My group was lucky enough to get FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS(FETS) and then we broke it up into sections for each person to do, for the part i have to do "research applications and why they are used" and then i started to think doesn't car audio amplifiers have fets in them? or rather called mosfet? so i was just wondering if anyone could start me out or lend a hand on where i should be looking for information and maybe recommend a creditable site? also i was thinking about dropping db-r an e-mail asking him but i don't know if that …

when can i get this bitch? i know its not available, but when are the magnets coming in? i want fi, no more jl

ok so here what I've decided on for total system for my 94 Sundance: H/U:Pioneer 9800BT FRONT STAGE:Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS REAR STAGE:Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS SUB STAGE:Treo SSX15.22 F/S AMP:Soundstream PCX2.440 R/S AMP:Soundstream PCX2.440 SUB AMP:Soundstream PCX2000D Wiring:Xscorpion Batteries:Kinetik HC1400x3 Alt: Ohio Generator 300amp All comments thought and things that should be changed in your opinion would be greatly appreciated thanks.

So I finally got my Time alignment and my 2 way active set up going. Man oh man what a difference in the sound now that its all dialed in. I have switched out my dual 5.25 for a single 6.5 in the doors with the Tweets in the A pillars. Decided to stay with Polk audio. Got the Momo 6.5 comp set. Sound excellent. My buddy and I worked out the details for the tuning Saturday night. The Dodge dash and cab are so wide that it took some dancing with the settings to get a good center stage area. Tweets are crossed over @ 3.5 khrz Mids @ 63Hrz to 3.5 khrz Subs @ 80 and below We tested with the both the Meca Cheskiy CD and the Iasca SQ disc. Along with some Dire Straights and …

ok here is what I have planned Alpine Type X SPX 177a tweets RE 6.5 midbass/midrange----both fully active from the P9 combo ran off of the MS1000TA (340x4) the Brahma 15(3.0 cubes sealed) 1 ohm off the Revolution 1500.1(1580x1 @1 ohm) alittle under 3K watts of SQ what do ya think?

Been having a hard time locking in a sub stage. Was all set on the AQ HDC312 D2 to run off a MB Quart DSC2000.1D, when I decided that it was not going to be enough. They are great subs that get loud, don't get me wrong. I would recomend them in a heartbeat, but I just don't think I will get what I'm looking for out of them. I am going for a daily ground pounder that gets low, but can still get loud. I believe I have finally found it. Incriminator Audio Death Penalty 12D2 MB Quart DSC2000.1D 2.9^3 Net @ 31Hz This is it! Got everything I am looking for. Killer lows, but still gets loud, and sounds good doing it! You will be glad to know there will be no more this…

I was at a car comp at Michigan Tech today, took 1st place in Street B with a 143.6 on the TL playing Outkast - Speakerboxx. I also took first in amateur SQ.

Did a 149.4 on music sealed on dash Iasca style. Did a 152.4 outlaw on music and burped a 152.9 at 39hz. Did all that with a 29hz tuning on hdc3's!

After what seems like forever, I finally got my box finished today, and got my BTL in my truck and hooked up. I've never heard bass like this before! This thing f***ing POUNDS! I've still not put in my upgraded alternator yet, but the T-1500 seems to be doing fine so far.
