    So i took everyones advice and ordered an Fi BL12 instead of 15 and i put it in the other day now my question is why isnt it as loud and punchy as my old Rockford P1 12" (at like 150W RMS) I put a Fusion d3000 on it (which is 1500W RMS at 1 ohm) and tuned it (and then tuned it some more) and i cannot get this speaker to hit like my old ones On rap and stuff like that its decent, but on stuff like Disturbed and Slipknot its horrible and like its not even there I already checked the wiring and tuned it a lot and still cannot get it to hit hard and it has enough power bc i just installed a second battery whats wrong?

    alright, so i've seen this sub on youtube, did alot of research on it, and seemed like it was the best sub for me, like my username says, i'm an sq freak, i'll take sq over bass any day,but i love both so i'm getting 2 monoblocks, first let me say this sub looks amazing! & this sub is massive! its as big as the hubcaps on my car! anyways not to get off topic or anything, so i have the new JVC Bongiovi Accoustics Headunit, the thing is amazing, and has the best sound quality i've ever experienced! i am possibly getting a JL Audio 1000w monoblock amp, and a Hifonics Brutus 1600 monoblock amp, should i use just the JL to power it?, or use both amps and get a capacitor? i…

    I had an 05 RE XXX 12D2 in 2.2 cubes @ 35 or 37hz on 1500W and it sounded great and pounded in my Sunfire. I swapped it for an Atomic APX 12D2 and although everything is box determinant I didn't like the sound of the cone, it's like it didn't matter what box it was in, it wasn't near SQ, how does the new BTL sound compared to these? I only have those subs to compare. The XXX sounded neutral & deep and the APX sounded like "cardboard". Does the cone sound smooth like it's designed to play a low octave? I didn't like going from XBL^2 to an SPL sub. Is the BTL somewhere in between or very similiar to an APX? Is anyone in the Hamilton, Ontario area willing to demo? See an…

    Im new to fi audio. A friend told me about them and i fell in love with them. Right now i have 2 JL 10w6d2 witch i ripped the cone on them with a 1000v1 arc audio pushing them. I want to get some fi subs but im not sure witch ones would be right for me?

    I'm toying with the idea of switching my low end to 2 18" Q's in a ported enclosure powered by 2 Kicker XS100's putting out 1300 watts RMS @1ohm (my current low end is 16 rockford P1 10's in a sealed enclosure) My goal is to play/demo loud and clean but still hit the same #'s I am currently doing (151 burp, 150.5 Street Beat) does this seem do-able with these subs? I've always been a sealed box person but there are so many 2 sub ported systems keeping up with me that I think I need an edge out there in the lanes.

    Well i know i want either a BTL or a BL, and im trying to think on which would be louder, since im pretty sure the BL's would sound a bit better. Run off a sundown 3000, would 2 12 BL's (1500 a piece or so) or 1 BTL (3000) be louder? im interested in the BTL a great deal but i dont have the money for 2 12" BTLs, nor the money for that kind of amp. oh and the box for either would be ~4.5 cubes at 34hz

    Looking for suggestions here. I have now 2 12" Qs in a sealed box, with separate chambers. Thinking they might be better off in a ported box. Not sure if they should be in the same chamber or separate. Not too sure what to tune it to, either. I can go as big as I need to for the box, though. Normally I would graph it in WinISD to get an idea how it would turn out, however that's not available to me currently. Any suggestions on this topic? Also, if someone is able to post some WinISD graphs I can look at, that would be very appreciated.

    Ok well with my b-day coming and tax season around to corner I will be coming into a few extra grand to play with. SO I was playing with sealing off the trunk of the car and firing the sub into the cabin, thinking of going with 3-10's or a single 18. right, now I have a single BL 15 on 2.5k. my goal for the project is to be louder and make my trunk more usable then it is now. Before I go and spend this kind of money I want to make sure I do everything the right way the first time so I call upon you guys for some suggestions on what to go with for the project
