diagrams on how to build?

Got a customer that is considering going with either a q10 or ssd 10. Customer mainly listens to rock, metal and other types of music along those lines. If i stick with the 1.5 cu.ft. net spec and tune alittle higher around 35-37 hz, how will that sound. Also, customer requirements is the sub has to be dual 2 ohm 1000 watts continous per what he stated. The vehicle is a1998 single cab Dodge Truck and the enclosure is replacing the center console with the both the sub and port firing back at the cab rear wall. Space from baffle to cab rear wall 6-8 inches. Phil Woodlawn Cabinetry

I have a Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000-1bd amplifier and I am looking for a good quality subwoofer. What would be the best 12" subwoofer for me to get for around 1000 watts rms if I am looking for sound quality with decent spl? I have a bassworx 12" ported subwoofer enclosure that is tuned at 42hz and is about 1.65 cu ft. I want to get an Fi Q 12" subwoofer but the recommended tuned frequency on it is between 28 and 33hz with a recommended minimum volume of 1.75 cu ft. I was wondering how much this would affect my subwoofers performance and its quality?

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 …

are ported boxes ok for rock music too? i have the room an would like the extra output from my ssd 12. but mostly listen to rock. could i tune it higher or lower an be good? or should i just go sealed. an be plenty loud enough with sundown 1000 at 1 ohm. any opiniones,help? appreciated

I Have looked on the Fi site and will be using 2 12" BL in a corvette run by a kicker zx2500.1. I was wondering if anyone has put them in a sealed box. I know there are no specs because it is not reccommended, but would it hurt the sub to be in a fiberglass enclosure with the correct airspace?

i need to order just an 18" 12 spoke basket is there anyway to do that??

See i ordered 2 12 Fi Bl but the more and more i look around...a 15' btl or a 12' Btl would do so much better...well i have not gotten my tracking number yet...so is it possible to change??? to a fully loaded btl???instead of the bl

so i was talkin to one of my buddies that sells car audio in a retail store, and when i told him i got a FI BL he goes so did you get it at the shop in rockford? (rockford, IL). and i go no... i bought it factory direct, the only way you can buy it new. and he said o well theres a shop in rockford that sells Fi. so either hes misinformed or someones buying factory direct then sellin it for a lil more. if this shop is actually doing this, is that illegal?

i really liked this pic so i copied it, but now its gone well its back im pretty sure its a 12" Q any pics from before please share them here THANKS these are some 18" Q pics

I hope that am in the right section for this post, if not, am sorry admin. I have been trying to post a drawing up so that i could get some feedback on it with no luck. Can someone steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for the help.

I am looking into putting two 10' BLs into a new Camaro. My question is this: Will a Memphis PR1.1000 or MC1.1100 be enough to get them off the ground adequately? I know it's not going to push their peak, but I was looking at using two 10' Memphis C3s instead of the BLs, but I'd rather have the BLs because I'm sure that they will outperform the Memphis subs. Any help or input would be great, thanks!

Need a solid amp, roughly 4-5000w, around $1000 to power 2 18" BTLs. Ideas? What electrical am I going to need? Can I get away with 1 HO alt and a few batteries?

OK, so i've had 2 hifonics bxi2006ds for my 2 btls, but I've been wanting more power. I just purchased one of the bxi's not too long ago, and I take real good care of my stuff so my bro bought it for almost what I paid. To replace it I just purchased a SoundStream 10000d from another member of this forum. I was thinking I'll just go buy another one to match, but I'm considering waiting for the 2nd amp to do side-by-side comparison of different amps that claim to put out a lot of power. I want to put 4-5kwatts per btl for daily and maybe a few comps, but mainly just groud-pounding, so one amp per sub. Whatever I find to be the best sound/spl combo I'll get 2 of. As I do th…

I've had a family member offer to give me two identical Cliff Designs amplifiers from one of his old setups when I mentioned that I plan to get a Q12 setup going. I had previously been looking at a Hifonics HFi1500D. He is rather insistent. As I don't want to offend him, I'm wondering how practical it is to use one amplifier per voice coil. I could get 1000W out of it the pair theoretically (500W x 2 amps @ 2 ohms) by doing that instead of only 700W (700W x 1 amp @ 1 ohm) that the gear can provide otherwise. I know not if the amplifiers themselves can be strapped, so it would have to be this route if I wish to use them both. I have an oscilloscope that I could use f…

If you read my other posts, you pretty much know what I want. I am doing a blowthrough in the bed of my truck. To save some room, I am debating on doing either 2 15" BTL's or 4 12" subs. I know no matter what I do I am gonna need an upgrade electrical wise. I have already decided on a 300 amp alt no matter what I do (wanting to be extra safe) and big 3. Here is where the question kicks in. If I do 4 12" BTL's, how much more ($$$$ wise) would this costs in upgrades (batteries, etc) than if I did say 4 12" Q's/BL's or 2 15" BTL's???? Also, SORRY 4 BEING A PAIN, but does anyone know if Hifonics amps are good, mainly looking at the Brutus at the moment. Not bad price, …

Hey I was looking for some subs that wang, and I came across FI Audio. The SSD seems to suit my needs, but I haven't seen a price. What would 2 of these subs run me about?

Scott, How much would 8 Q18's modified for IB (home theater) use be? (shipped to 75409) You know, with the cult discount added in!

so i want to use it for daily and some contest and either a kicker kx or zx 2500.1 goin to be put into a 2dr sebring so what options should i get and how much will it cost to ship to Wasilla Alaska 99654

Was wondering how much 2 BTL 18's setup Daily with Dual 4 coils would be after the first of the year? That 350 shipped deal from Meade brand new was sweet. I'm a noob to them so I honestly don't know if it was one...lol but after playing with that one I wanna get 2 thats for sure! I cant get a hold of anyone and heard this forum is the way to go. Thanks Guys.

Definately not talking bad but I know RE started out at very nice prices then jacked them to just retarded high pricing.... Now please don't take any disrespect scott. But are the FI's temp pricing or should they try to keep within relation to inflation of cost? AGAIN and AGAIN this is no disrespect to scott. just doing a wall in the next year and have to decide which subs . please don't take this as an insult. just to the point

I just got done setting my gains with the DMM, my main issue and area of concern is the subwoofer and the Hifonics Bxi1606d amplifier. The component set is working and sounding fine and so is the Sundown SAX 100.2 amplifier. The Hifonics amplifier and subwoofer on the other hand are just being a pain in the ass to get sounding decent. To give you all the information I can on the subject we'll start here. I want that 15" Fi Q sound that we see and hear in videos, the smooth rumbling bass on all frequencies, well-reproduced, very loud, and sounding very good. To achieve this I have done the following. I had the following set on my amplifier and head unit. Amplifier: SSF: 25…

I ordered 2 fully loaded btl 18, sent out emails about shipping or when there are to make it to me no responce back. Any back up, delays for any reason please let me know Thanks

I have an audiopipe ap1500d running 2 fi ssd 12's. when i turn my music up and the bass sounds really good it will just cut out and will turn back on when i turn it down, any ideas?

The dude wanted something different, doesnt care anything about sq really, and definately doesnt care much about spl. He just wanted it to be loud and look good doing it. Hes going to be running an orion 2500d. We hooked it up to mine tonight just after we got done and are going to have to use alot of althread, this thing flexx's like a mother. But it did turn out looking good! Just for you guys info, its an 18"
