    I just took 1st in class two weeks in a row with one 12" BTL fully loaded doing a 142.2 coming out of the trunk of my car. I rebuilt my box to 45 Hz instead of 33 Hz and gained 1 DB I think that we are going to wall of my trunk to try and get another 3 to 5 DBs out of it. Is any one else going to world finals for USACI in Omaha Ne this year or will I have to be the only one that represents FI this year? Also let me know what you think about walling off a 300.

    I know, I know there is no definite answer at all to this question. Again I know!!! LOLOL Currently running a 15" BL w/ a RF T10001BD amp. Ok loud not the greatest but the best I can do with my limited trunk space of a scion tc. I whined before here about loosing my trunk space currently! I am sitting here and out the corner of my eye sits a 12" RE SX sub that I just reconed with Fi parts. Originally with that RE SX sub it was in a 2.0cuft box tuned to 32hz and I hit 139db with a TL mic (amp running at 2ohm so roughly 900-1000watts). With my current box with that 15" it sits in a 3.5cuft box, and I don't have my spare tire anymore or any trunk space! With the 15" …

  9. I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I know nothing outside of Rockford amps. I am getting some BTL's fully loaded and am curious, what would be better to put on each one. The Kicker 2500.1 or the Sundown 3000D? This is for daily driving. Would the extra $400 be worth the extra 500 watts per sub? How good are Sundown, heard Kicker were good. Thanks in Advance

    I posted this question already in the technical category and only got an answer from JimJ ( thank you ) , and would appreciate more feedback so that i may place my order Asap , so i'm starting over in the general section hoping for more opinions , thank you . I'm going to order four 10 " Q's to be mounted sealed each connected to it's own Alpine PDX 1.1000 , ( all 4 were benched at 1200 RMS ) , my question is BP power or no BP power , i have seen posts where they were said to perform wonderfully under 1000 watts , and many more that stated they could take more , so i'm confused as to if i should BP them or nt please answer , thank you Dan

  12. I am planning on possibly doing 2 18" BTL's in pretty much the optimum enclosure to be put in the back of a Tahoe. Ported to the back, subs upward running about 2500-3000 watts each for daily. I am newer to all of this and hate to ask this stupid question, will that get loud as hell??? I would like to compete and wondering if this would be good for daily and competition. Wish I could do 4 18's, but I doubt I can afford that much power, LOL!!! As I said, I am very new to all of this and learning, so any info would be great... Thanks

    I'm deployed to Iraq (9 months done, 6 to go) and I was starting to get serious sub bass withdrawals. I just got a great deal on a Behringer EP2500 for my HT setup. I was going to order a Q12 for my car when I got back but I had an idea. So I emailed Scott and Nick to see if they could build me a small sealed box and ship the box to Iraq loaded with a Q12. Scott said yes so I placed my order. I was getting impatient because I wanted to know how much more Fi needed for the box and additional shipping. Then it arrived today and it is amazingly in 1 piece. I've had a smile on my face all day. It is jury rigged with 3 adaptors inline running of my laptop but it still so…

    Well today I curiously clicked on my tracking number to see if the sub had shipped not only was it shipped out before the holiday, its in my damn town and will be here tomorrow..... I find this amazing being that Fi has been flooded with orders, Scott was gone, and I had added the BP option. I placed my order on the 26th and wasn't even expecting it till like next week.... Amazing guys keep it up! Build pics will be up soon.

  16. I plan on putting 4 15" BTL's in the bed of a silverado with a blowthrough, not a wall. Out of curiosity, will there be any type of loss in pressure and sound by doin this? Also, if I make a small wall around the hole with sound deadener all under it, will that make a improvement on the loss if there will be any in the first place. I know that it will help with road noise, so i am doing it anyway, but am just curious.

    I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils... they've sat in their original packaging for a while now, never used. I don't have the space for 15s, and want to go with 12s... and I've decided on the Qs now. Any way to trade in and add money for them?

    So I got there to find out my alternator is dying, and won't keep more than 13.9v at idle. It was a great first show, I did bass race and truck/suv 1501+. I got 149.9 in bass race and took first place. I got 2nd place in truck/suv to todd hardwick (but he has a wall in his truck made just for spl, I have a daily setup. First run was 150.6@44hz, but I thought I peaked a little lower. Next run I tried lower- and got a 150.8@ 35hz. My alternator wouldn't allow for more than the initial burp, so I know redoing my electrical system will do a lot. Either way, a few people were fairly impressed with Fi. 1st place bass race and 2nd spl trophies: A vid of a hair trick, crappy cam…
