    i have an original style (stamped basket) AA assasin 8 that needs a recone. would it be possible to: - get the newer style 12 spoke basket (8") - recone the sub to D2 or D4 instead of Single 4 - add another spider or something to stiffen it up a bit. if these things are possible, or if they aren't, but you can do a straight recone, how much will it cost?

    Which size q would sound better for rock/metal fast double bass music? Would the 10" hit the higher frequencies better?

    I was on a plane from Montana and landed in Vegas so I could drive home to California and thought I would drop by and see where Fi was so I stopped at barnes & noble to get a thomas guide so I could find the location of Fi. I found it, but being the monday of a holiday weekend, I didnt get to see much. I didnt think Fi would of been there for the holiday so, it wasnt any loss for me to try driving through Vegas anyway. At least I know where it is now if I happen to swing by in the future. I'm sorry if this was a teaser, but I thought some might enjoy reading about what I did.

    Alright hoping someone could help me out I need some measurements on a 10" Q. I need total height from bottom of magnet to top of surround and I see the mount depth is listed as 6.5". Is that depth listed the actual depth of the sub or does it include airflow room. If so about how much clearance do I need behind the magnet. I need to know because I plan on building some custom enclosures in my new magnum. I want to fit them in the rear pockets and still leave room for the lower tray to open. Anyone done these on here before and have any tips? Thanks guys.

    I see that the cutout for an 18" BTL is 16.75" when mounted normally. Is the cutout the same size when the driver is inverted, or does it have to be a bit bigger?

    Hey im selling my 15 Fi Q with BP Power in a 4 cubic ft. box and (4) 3" aero ports wrapped in ultra suede and tuned to 32hz. I wasn't selling on here unless someone desperately wants it but i was asking how much do you think i should ask for? I've had the stuff since march and never abused. The sub cost me like 350-360 i think and i have no idea what the box was though. i think it was like 300 or 350. thats where i got ripped. i told one of my friends 499 for both but for other people im thinking about raising it some? or is that a god price? i need some advice ASAP because im trying to selling this immediately so that i can take part in the Free Enclosure deal from Quent…

  20. 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.
