Hey guys I'm running (2) 12 btl on 4000rms tuned at 35hz. My low past freq is set some where between 75hz-80hz but no high past filter.I ordered an pfmod adjustable subsonic filter but I'm not sure should I set it at 30hz or 35hz. I would have preferred setting it at 33hz but it not an option on the filter that I'm useing. Fi recommend setting 2hz to 3hz below enclosure tuning thank guys.

So after being bassless for months now my FI BL 12 is on its way. I drive a 240sx now so i do not have much trunk room, I need help with a box design that would be optimal for the sub. Thanks for the help in advance. Trunk Dimensions: Height Sloping from 20" - 17" at the back. Length: 15". Width: 36". Simplicity is key since i do not have access to many tools.

Does any one know what the QTS becomes on the option of raising the QTS? I plan on getting a pair for sealed, but want to know what the QTS are. Also Plan to run a 1500 rms to each, should i get a extra spider? just dont want to lose the low end making it to stiff in a sealed box. input would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering, because after measuring the space available in my small hatchback with the rear seats out, this is whats available to fit a box in. Was planning to make a box of about 8ft^ net after port and driver displacement, but just asking Have anyone tried something similar? This is for daily music playing, low(ish) power - about 2kw in a nowall setup in a very small hatchback. BTL N2 18" fully loaded is ordered and paid for, just sitting here and waiting for it to arrive. Been a month now

Hi ive been running my 15" Q in a 2.2 cubed box for over a year now with a SAZ-1000d mono amp, and its been awesome! now making the boxes isnt a problem as i designed and built my last one! but im looking for something different and maybe a bit louder without changing much and spending alot! so i thought ill port it! i looked at the cut sheet in this section for the 15 ported in here but its slightly too big at 3.8 cubes and was wondering if anyone could adjust it to maybe 3.2-3.4 cubes for me :/ being a complete noob with port sizes and stuff! max height is about 17 1/2" really! Thanks Pez! sorry for being a pain

Its almost time and Planning has started. I still need to find out if I can make a slot port work if not maybe two square or even aero ports. Suppose will have to do some maths and cross-checks. Draft box (not to scale) Let me know what you think.

I have two BL tens and I was looking to recone them but I can't figure out if it has a flatwind coil. If it doesn't can I upgrade to it without it being a problem? How can I tell if it has one or not cuz I need it but idk if it'll work with it

-How many spiders are there in the N2? -Can we have super Gauss in the N2 or is it not required/superseded no longer relevant? What are the benefits and is it worth it? -AA SMD is designed by FI right...price and power handling aside which is a better driver for loud daily? Unfortunately I live on the other side of the world and have no way to listen to either of these. Thanks

Alright, im kind of tossing the idea around between two setups in the trunk of my Crown Vic. Setup one is (1) FI BTL N2 18" in 7 cubic feet net tuned to 32hz. Setup two is (2) FI BTL N2 15s in 8 cubic feet net tuned to 32hz. Here is my problem and question, the first setup with the single BTL will slide right in my trunk with no issues using the box design and cut sheet posted on this forum for it, but the second setup is the issue. Can I run the BTL 15s in a smaller box than 4 cubic feet net each and still get optimal performance? Id like to shrink the box and bump up the tuning to 34-35hz if thats possible. 3 to 3.5 cubic feet per sub would be a much easier fit for …

Hello all, I purchased a Q12 years ago and unfortunately for the life of me cannot remember if it is the dual 2 ohm or dual 1 ohm. There doesn't seem to be any markings on the sub or coils...how can I tell what I have? I could have sworn it was the dual 2, so I wired it in parallel to put a 1 ohm load on my amp. It sounds great, but the amp is going in protection mode when I turn it up. The amp is 1 ohm stable. So I pulled the sub out, wired it in series...which would put it at a 2 ohm load (if it was in fact a dual 1). No matter how much I turn it up, it stays on just fine. Problem fixed, right? Wrong. The sub sounds like crap now! As if the polarity is wrong or somethin…

hey guys, I have a wedge box that goes behind my bench seat in my truck. its about 2.8ft3 before sub and port displacement. right now i have a 4in round port that is about 7-7.1in in length. so that puts me at about 35hz tunning wize. however i just upgraded my amp and bought a SSD. so i want to mkae sure for port is good. i will be re tunning to about 33hz so that will make my port longer. however should i upgrade to a 5in round? i dont know much about what would make a good port. i thought as long as it was tuned to the right hz it didnt matter. please offer any advise. i cant wait for the SSD to get in!

Im purchasing 1 fi btl n2 18 inch, and im not sure whether to choose dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm. I have a 4000 watt mono amp with a lowest possible rating of 1 ohm. I used to have 2 12s but im moving to this 1 18 inch and wish to have it running at 1 ohm. Ive read around and from what ive heard, i should go with the dual 2 ohm sub, but i wanted to be sure before this purchase. thanks for your help

Rather then stay up until 3 in the morning for firechat due to time differences i though id ask here... Need a sub for my HT. Currently I have two BL's in my car. I want something that that plays lower with more depth then the BL's. I love low lows with presence. IB is not a option in my current place. What is my options and what options should I select? is there something else I should specify? Sealed ported whatever I can build the box and consider my self a bass-head intermediate but this whole HT thing has me baffled. I know Scott has his finger in other sub companies as well, which makes me think why Fi and not any of the other companies he has a part in? I ne…

New Fi Q15 owner here. Fresh to these forums too. I just wanted to share about my project and also had a few questions and was hoping for some feedback/opinions. Recently got my hands on BB6 pro and built a pretty bitchin' (and simple) PR setup for my buddy's Saturn ION that piqued my interest to try it again, but bigger and with more power. I used a Resonant Engineering SEx10 paired up with a TC sounds VMP12 (stock 390g mms) in a prefab 1.8cf sealed 15" box. Made a speaker ring adapter for the 12 in the 15" hole, and then cut a hole in the side of the box for the 10". We were very pleased with the amount of LF output this little bad boy has, and still being super clean …
