    I am having a problem fitting my 15" Q in my trunk, I have built a box and there is just no way to make it happen...is there any chance I can switch and get the 12" Q? I know its a lot to ask, but I have the 15" Q, its never been run, and I still have the packaging so I can ship it back to you. Let me know what you can do.

    I ordered a 15'' BL dual 2 ohm. I have upgraded 4 gauge from the alt. to my duralast gold battery and i have a 120 amp alt. I also ordered an AQ-1200D. My boy is doing all the installation but he told me to get the dual 2 and wire it at .7 ohms. Will my voltage drop too low?

    How much do they weight, the weight for the 10" shipped from ups says the package is 32lbs, how much of that is the BL and how much is packaging? I am wondering because I planned on inverting my BL and I am hoping it wont be so heavy that it flips the box over. I am putting it in a 1.2 cuft box, I cant remember hox much it weights but it cant be more than 45 to 50 lbs. I plan on buying another BL, I am having a dual 10" box built for the 2 so I hope the combined weight of the 2 will not be too much for a 2 cuft MDF box to handle inverted.

    how much of a difference is there for output from a 12"btl to a 18",, i have a bl15 fully loaded and shes getting 900 rms, im debating on getting a btl and sell my bl15 but it would cost a lot to buy the btl and get a huge amp for it. should i just buy a bigger amp for my bl or get the btl, if the btl is really that good it ill save up and get it what yall think thanks.

    Which would be the better choice? Looking for very loud. Listen to mainly rap. Going in a ported box in my trunk tuned to 32hz. Running off of 2x saz-1500d's. ps. The 15 would have to be done sub up port back due to 13.5" of hight available. thanks =]

    I have a Hifonics 1505d amp and 8.8 CF of space to work with in my truck. Can i make a 18 work? If not whats the minimum i would need? The box is going to be down firing, as i measured it will be 4" off the floor. Lastly could i make a sealed box for these subs? Any pros/cons? Thank you.

    okay i have 2 amps strapped..........so if i strapped the 2 to a 1 ohm load it splits the load so that each amp is receiving a 1/2 ohm load? that makes it unstable if its a 1 ohm stable amp rite.......

    Well with the end of summer and working 70 hours a week at my summer job on top of building a car i will finally be back around more often after next Thursday. Just got back in and moved to college and we've got to wait until late next week before we will have internet access... Hopefully my presence will be more noticed in the next few weeks as i get back into the swing of things and not running every which way but loose.. I have not been able to answer any of my emails due to them being server based and without having an isp i can't download and reply to all of them...i had quite a few stored on my cell phone from last week and that has since disappeared due to a glitch…

    yeah. well I'm having a hard time getting the proper size enclosure setup for what i want to install in the future. so being that i have about 3k in power for my subs i was considering on taking up a BTL 15" now, i truly love my XXX and i love the low end of them but my downfall on them is the lack of upper frequencies. now my only other options that are in mind with my 2 XXX's is running them sealed. they will be 15's. (lol i can't use 12's.) well. i also feel that it's time to try something new. seeing all the good things that Fi has to offer and with the BTL i was taking this into consideration. with tuning up in 33-35hz i would assume it would hit some of the upper fr…
