    So i'm interested in purchasing one 12" BL subwoofer but don't know what to select for the options. It will be going into a 2008 Nissan Altima and being powered by a Clarion DPX1001.2 and the specs are: 250 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 450 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 500 watts RMS x 2 at 1 ohm 1,000 watts RMS at 2 ohms in bridged mode i am just wondering if someone could help me figure out what i would need to select for Hyper Pole, Cooling, Flatwind etc. This would be a daily driver and not spl, and pleas correct me if i'm wrong but would i need a dvc 2 ohm sub wired to 4 ohms and bridging it at the amp would bring it down to 2 ohms right? need anymore information, just let me kn…

    I am not trying to ask "when can I expect my package, it has been 2 months", simply asking if everything is being built on time. If I can expect what the website says, then I will be patient and wait. If anyone knows if the factory is behind with the holidays coming up or anything, please let me know. Thanks.

    I have been building boxes for sometime and I notice that a lot of boxes have the same concept but are built a little different. When I build a ported box for two subs I normally direct the air out of the front (depending on the application) of the enclosure with a divider between both chambers. I have seen some enclosures with no divider coming out of the front, just a big hole. Does adding or taking away a divider give off a different sound? I also add one in the middle just to make the box more rigid. I am building two ported boxes for a van. Would it be better to port it in the front like I have been doing or to go another way. I would think that by porting it …

    While reading 'BL Enclosure Recommendations' I stumbled upon the word 'peaking'. Full paragraph below. Please someone, elaborate on this term.. Flatwind: The flatwire coil option simply helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil that comes in the

    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…

    So ive done a lot of searching around here at the forums looking for a good daily sub. I finally stumbled across FI's BL series and tried to do some research but just couldnt find the information that i was looking for. So i was looking into buying a BL15 with the pole chanfer and cooling options. So heres my questions. What would be a good size box and tuning frequency for higher output? Amp? And most importantly its output capabilities with spl oriented setup. everything will be going into a 93 Lincoln Town Car. any info would be greatly appreciated.

  25. 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.
