My other question is: i have read one place to get the hixmcoil only on spl series, then another place said put it on the daily option. i bought a 15 btl with cooling, daily, hixmcoil, dual 1 ohm, and induct ring, with universal option. going into single 15 probox approx. 3.5 cu.ft. after displacement (is anybody using this prefab box). i will be powered by an audiobahn a2300hct amplifier 2400 watts rms. im going to hook up 2 15s to this eventually. depending on how 1 absorbs the power. i am als…

    I have a Alpine Mrd-m1005 Amp (1000W Rms 1800 peak) amp in a 4.0 cube 35 hz box (aero port) with Alpine Type R 15. Going to purchase a Fi woofer but really unclear as to which sub I should use. Also unsure to what my setup would compare to an Sq/LSQ/Spl setup. Bassically, I love how my current setup shakes the tip of my nose and the hair on my head when I play good bass songs. Seems to hit the lows reallllly well. Also, moves a decent amount of air. I am leaning more towards that setup but something that will take it to the next level. Should I go with the SSD or the Bl 15? Knowing that.....My second option is to run my US Amp 2000 (2000W @ 2 ohm) amp to which Iv…

    A guy wants to buy my SSDs. I really see no future use for them. If I end up getting a car I will probably just put my bl 10 in. So they are 12" with copper coil, and 1 ohm coils. I used them for ~4 months with a hifonics 1606 amp, never clipped the amp so I know the drivers are in a-1 shape. Thanks for the input.

    car is a 02 cadillac deville, 1 15 d1 btl on strapped saz1500ds, subsonic all the way down to like 15, gain at a little lower than half. box is a chambered t line built by rich which i think is in the neighborhood if 30-36 hz tuning. i have a EQ with 8v preouts, HU is a max675vd. i think i need some guidance to set amps before i order a recone or try to replace the lead itself. volume on the hu 27 out 33... but the volume on the EQ is almost all the way up.

    Hey Nick or Scott ... need some help with an MT, I need a recone by the 4th for a local sound off (if I can get it next-day'd or 3 day guarantee UPS or whatever) but was wondering what options I'd have when it come down to the recone ... I'm throwing ~4k at the sub for burps, I want a dual .7 instead of the dual 1.4 it is now so I can run it at 1.4 or .35 for burps, but suspension/coil wise could it be upgraded? Also as far as the spiders are concerned upgrading to like 5 or 7 layer woven? I sent Nick an email yesterday or the day before ... just need this quick, so I hope it didn't find the spam filter

  15. Right now i have my 18 bl in a ~6 ft^3 box (before port and sub disp.), tuned to 34 hz with a 3.75 x 20.5 in port (was supposed to be 4 inches, but i had a lil cutting error ). Anyways, i'd like to try a few different boxes, some higher, some lower, some smaller, some bigger. Fi has 30 hz as the lowest recomendation, and i'd like to see what the people who tuned to around this (or people who have heard a bl tuned to this) thought about it. They also have 37 hz as they're highest, so have any of you tuned to that, if so, how'd you like it? I realize a person who tunes to 30 hz is going a different path than someone tuning 37 hz, but i'd just like to see how each individu…

  16. I'm going to order a SSD10 and plan to load it in a sealed box w/ .63 airspace (after displacement) and power it w/ a Sundown SAE-1000D (are there other recommended amps for the SSD10?) Questions: 1. I'm guessing I should get the dual 1-ohm coils and wire them in series to get 2-ohms (600w) ... since dual 2-ohm coils wired in series would result in 4-ohms (only 300w) and dual 2-ohm coils wired in parallel would overpower the speaker (1-ohm, 1000w), correct?!? 2. Since this is going to be a daily driving setup and I'm more interested in SQ, should I consider any other options besides the copper coil upgrade? Mucho thanks for any help / insight.

    Ok i am obviously looking into a FI subwoofer but am confused and having difficulty choosing which one i should get. I heard the BL has more output but the Q hits lower. I want to push my sub at around 1000 wrms. I have a pontiac grand prix and want something that is gonna rumble and turn heads but be able to put out power. The main thing i want to do is put my friends to shame who think their 10" audiobahn is the stuff. Please help me decided. I need opinions. Thanks !!

    A year or so ago, I sent a Crossfire XT motor into Scott for a recone and he was unable to find a coil that would work for daily bumping. Anyhow, I ended up purchasing two BL's that same week and basically told Scott whatever on finding a coil for the XT motor. So my question is; Where is that motor now? lol Let me know if Scott still has it, because I wants it! Thanks, Matt

    I talked to you about a month ago about my tinsel leads being snapped in half on my 12" ssd and you asked for pictures, and then for me to send it in along with all my contact info and what coil i want in it. I sent it off on 5/29 and the tracking info said it got to you at 6/3 and mike signed for it. I sent you a reply email asking if you wanted the tracking # before hand, and didn't get a email back. I'm just hoping to hear some sort of update on this. Thanks
