    Hello all. I just ordered a BL 15 Dual 2 with the Cooling, flatwind, daily Universal motor options...I am considering buying a Us Amps Xt4000d amp for this sub. The amp is rated at 1500 watts @ 1 ohm..Is this too much to put on this sub for a daily driver or should I consider something a little less powerful in the 1000 watt range?? Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thank you...

  7. Well on saturday it was such a nice day that I thougt Id work on my stuff, also the fact that my Fi shirt was coming got me in the mood! I was out to fix the fact that my box was above my window and the floor just looked like "poop" anyway.

    Here are some pics of my bros 12" BL. I told someone I'd post pics, forgot the topic and decided I'd post them here for the world to see. Here's the pics from it arriving, looking pimp on my hand made quilts Beefy, heavy, and all around looks great. Here's a pic of it compared to his old 12" Kicker L7. The pic doesn't show the difference that great, but it's tremendous. The L7 weighs a fraction as much, and just doesn't have the threatening feeling the BL does. We put the sub in at the college nearby, oh well The box is an old box that I made for my 12" alpine type-x. It's only 1.1 cube net tuned to 32hz. very small on the BL, but we haven't made his yet.

Should I e-mail them and have them add the copper coil? BTW this will be pushed with the Zed minilith amp. Just got done ordering everything the list = 2 x CDT 6 1/2" Classics with 25mm silk tweeter, Zed Gladius, Zed mini, Fi 12" SSD, Alpine 9881 cd player and lot's of 0/1 gauge with Monser microXLN interconnects and 100 sq ft of sound deadening all for her civic.

    Ok, so I'll start from the beginning. I bought this sub a few months ago, near the beginning of January. I bought a 12" Q, Dual 2. The people of Fi: Being local, I got to meet Scott, and one of his workers. Scotts a great guy, down to Earth, and just extremely outgoing and friendly. He answered all my e-mails, even though the poor guy must get like 200 of them a day. He showed me around the warehouse, how they assembled the subwoofers, and even put part of mine together right in front of me. I left the warehouse extremely satisfied with Fi as a whole, but how good are they at making subwoofers? I'll explain in this review First Impressions: The sub is pretty beef…

    Where do I start?... Well, I was looking for an all around awesome subwoofer. I wanted something that would sound pretty good, get low and be able to peel someones face off if commanded to. I had already been amazed by all the videos I had seen (especially Steve Meade's) and was looking at the different lines that were offered. I was looking more and more at the Q and BTL. I liked the looks of the Q along with the price but was abit unsure of how loud it would be in the end. The BTL was thought to be a better option considering several people said the sound quality from them was better than expected but I couldnt really see paying $100 more for a subwoofer that wou…

    Of course midbass and installation is VERY dependent. I was able to compare my car against another car (both Chrysler 300's) with very very similar installs and power. My car is running 2 12" Q's in a 2.8 cube sealed enclosure (about 2.48 cube after displacement) run by a Zapco C2K 9.0. The other 300 had 2 12" IDMax in a custom sealed box made to Image Dynamic specs. and ran by a Zapco Ref. 500m (one on each sub). I know the installers of his car and they are very talented and know their stuff. Of course I have more than double the power on tap but this review was for total sound quality only so really we only used roughly 400wrms of power during listening. His install…

    OK, so my brother just had me get a 12" BL for him, and while it is being made/shipped I'm trying to deside how to build his enclosure. He has a single cab truck with bench seat, which only has about 6-7" of space behind the seat at the largest part. It is a chevy 2500, if that helps. While he could put his seat up a little and fit it, he want it to be in the center of his truck, pretty much in the middle of where you'll see it. I was considering making something with the sub up at an angle, and the port forward at the floor. Would it be better for me to have the port and sub up-like where the wood bends at the top front of the box instead of the bottom? This is a quick s…
