    ok so im about to buy the bl15. been kina back and forth between that and the sunshade but anyway. i was wondering how to get the max potential out of this sub (ie: box size, amp size, what options should i get on it, things of that nature). im not going to be competing, as of now anyway. i will be getting another 15, bigger amp and alt and that later though. but like i said im just wondering how to get the best and deepest bass out of this speaker i possibly can.

    im just curious will a 12" BL fail thermally or mechanically first? cause it takes the 1800 watts i throw at it at comps like a champ, but im not sure if im hurting it mechanically? the signal is clean and everything, i use a oscope to set gains and to monitor the signal every so often, and i use a DMM to find out how many watts im putting to it. so i just want to know, cause im sure you guys did some fail tests... right? Thanks, Anton Miller

    Alright, Im looking at getting an SSD 12. I would like to have 2 12s but i think with my amp (kicker zx 750.1) they would be way under powered. now i have read that u CANT underpower a sub, but in all honesty, would it sound good at all? So i want ur guys opinions on my amp paired with this sub. dont be afraid to tell me its a POS. i want to know. -should i stick with just one? -POS amp? -what amp would u suggest if i decide to go with two? Ive also heard many people say that one Fi sub would sound like two of anything else if its done right. True?

    i finally got the call from my house saying i have a very heavy box waiting for me on my doorstep. i rushed home and quickly umpackaged this beast of a sub and was immediately amazed by how this thing is built. picking it up i knew it would be a monster. after a an hour or so of wiring, fitting and tuning i finally got to turn it on. it was instant gratification. im very happy with this purchace, and get even happier every time i turn it on. as everything gets loose and starts to open up, i can really appriciate the tones this thing puts out. it sounds better every time. i only have 4 awg powering it right now because im waiting to put the 1/0 in my future car, but the SA…

  5. Hi all. I've been lurking on these forums for a while doing as much research as possible, but I still have a few questions. Let's start with some info... I currently have two mtx jackhammer jh55 12's in an mtx ported box (about 4.8 cubic feet). They're being pushed by an mtx 600xd...600 watts at 2ohms. So each sub is getting 300 watts. They're in the back of my Toyota FJ Cruiser. It was my first setup that I got about a year ago. So anyway, I'm looking to upgrade. I'm selling my subs and amp on Monday...luckily getting $400 for them I'm on a tight budget(18 year old about to go to college haha) but I really want some nice Fi subs to bump in my FJ =D Originally, I was thi…

    I am running 2 15" BL'S with a Crunch GP3000D PRO In a 1989 Crx My box is like 4.5 CF Interchangable ports tuned to 36 hz for daily and tuned to 53hz for Comp. I know that the box is a little small for the subs but I could not go any bigger and still be under the window line. I'm hitting a 148.1 outlaw and 147.7 legal. I want higher numbers. Would it be dumb to build a wall? I have to powermaster xs 925 and My voltage stays to about 13.5. Any other help would be great. Thanks all

    I currently have a bl 15 i know its rated at 1000 watts but i have a rockford t1500 and the sub can only be wired to 1 or 4 ohm. can the subwoofer take the whole 1 ohm load from this amp. if i turn the gains down on the amp does that reduce the amount of power going to the sub or will i still feed it the 1500 watts+ either way.

    I recently sold my old setup and im looking into getting a 15" Q and an audioque 1200 amp. will i need to get the bp option if i use this amp or should it be safe without it. The sub will be going into a 3.3-3.4 box tuned around 30hrtz. Also my old setup was 2 12" pioneer premiers tsw3001d4's hooked up to a crunch pzi 1500 in a 3 cuft box tuned to 33hrtz, how do you think the q will sound compared to those?

  18. I had a thread open in the general section but I think this would be a better place for my forth coming questions. I have been doing a TON of research and such and I think I got down enough info to do this correctly. I still need some opinions from others with more experience. First off, budget is a concern however I don't have one. The more it costs the longer I am willing to wait to do this correctly. I don't want to take any short cuts. Currently I have the following...
