    well starting to think of a set up for next year going to maybe wall off the bug. Not sure if I want to go with 2 BTL18 with 2500RMS each or 2 15BTL on the same power. I compete in street beat and with 1 btl18 I do 145 but want a little more. With the 2 15's I would stay in the same class and should be louder box would end up at around 12-16cf before displacements. so from the experts here which would seem better I am leaning to the 15's. Is it possiable to recone a 18 to a 15 if I go to the 15's this would be nice.

    Looking for some dimensions for a 15Q. It will be powered by a sundown saz-1000d. Its going into a 2008 scion xb. I would say I have about 2'x2'x4' area to work with. According to specs it should be 2-2.5 cubic feet. So probably stay around the 2.5 to account for displacement. I know you guys are miracle workers. I tried to remember to put as much info as possible I know people leave stuff out all the time.

    I was flippin through the new issue of Truckin and had to ask this. why is it that in all these magazines, with these amazing trucks, the subs in the bed of the truck point towards the tailgate. I am assuming cause they do this there may not be a blowthrough, never really could tell. even if there was, what would be the point of pointin the subs this way? is it just show?

    ok i am a big time noob to box's, but i do know ported is more spl and sealed is LSQ. For a BL you need to go ported. But for a ported box which would be the loudest out of the 4 combinations, small box small port, big box small port, small box big port, smal box small port? all i am concerned about is spl/loudness. (it is for a 15 BL.) thx.

WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / RETURNED TO SHIPPER Is this means that the package was returned to shipper again?! The shipment date was not posted anymore but it was supposed to be delivered this Friday.

    So, never owning a car in my life, I am getting my first one very soon....big change from trucks and SUVs. I love SPL and am not entirly sure what to do. I was planning on either doing 2 12" Q's ported or 1 12" BTL ported, this is gonna have to be a tough decision for myself. If you have an opinion on what you would prefer, go ahead, be nice to know what other people think. But here is what I need to know also, which way should the subs and port face? They will be going in the trunk of course. Is it correct in saying that the bigger the box is, the smaller the ports need to be and vice versa or no? Just heard this the other day. Any advice at all as well as the an…

    Can you guys at Fi build passive radiators that have stupid amounts of displacement on a 12 or 15" frame? I can get some 18's, but they're too tall for my purposes (I think). I don't have my new car yet, so I'm attempting to draw out something insanely different

  23. Just wanna say thanks and great build on my fully loaded 15" BTL. Everything looks great and top notch. Shipping was fast, packaging was great and I think it goes without saying the sub is awesome. Did you just recently start putting the little black felt pads on the bottom of the cone for the tinsel slap? Thanks again for the service and the sub.

  24. Started by truckaudioman,

    So I have been checkin out his posts and now I am curious. What would be "louder" in an overall sense....4 10" Q's sealed or 2 12" Q's ported. I have no exp what so ever with sealed enclosures and would like to know the answer to this. I know the 10's win with overall surface area, but will the ported cause much more SPL than the 4 10's? Any advice on this would be great cause I have been thinkin about it for quite some time now and it is driving me nuts. Side Note: Probably use a RF4000.1 to 4 10's or Kicker2500.1 or such for 2 12's. THANKS
