i have a kicker zx1000.1....1000wts rms at 2 ohm planning on getiing a dual 1 ohm 10 inch or 12 inch bl for an 2001 eclipse need the recomended specs for the 10in bl and 12 inch bl.. which sub would be better for my setup and car?

I have a custom box already built that i have a 15 in at 3.5 cubic feet. I was wondering how a 12 inch btl would respond to 2k watts in that overly large box? P.S. its tuned to 32 hz

could someone give me advice on a box for 2 BTL's 12?? it'll be powered by a 3500D or 2 2000D's. thanks

Whats up, Can anyone give me advice on how many cubes my sealed enclosure should be and what it should it be tuned to? I will give it hopefully 1300 rms with a hif1606d. I listen to about 80 % rock/classic rock/metal/blues/acoustic live chit and about 20% rap but I will probably listen to more rap since I will have a sub. The sub needs to play 80hz and below. My goal is pure sq not spl Thanks for any input Captain SSD(lol and its gonna be a q)

Will 12-gauge speaker wires work with a Fi Q 15 D2? I hope so because I already have those wires installed with my current sub which is going to be replaced

i recenly got a 12inch bl and i just got it installed today and it is clipping i have an Alpine MRP-m1000, And the faceplate is an Pioneer - Model: DEH-2200UB i have the gain turned down but it isnt hardly hitting at all it is in a 2000 dodge intrepid and when i do turn it up you cant hear the clipping cant hear the clipping inside but once you open the trunk you can hear it clear as day here are the options for the sub Ohm: dual 1Hyper_Pole: noCooling: yes +$30Flatwind: yes +$15Daily_or_SPL: DailyUniversal: noDustcap: white

Hey guys I have a question about the Q series woofers: a 12 Q in a ported box or a 15 Q in a sealed box is what I am debating now given a 2.5 ft box for either one: 1.) which will be louder? 2.) which will play lower? 3.) which will have better SQ for rock?

I just got a 12 Q D2 with BP power hooked up with a JL 500/1. in a sealed 1.5(20*13*15.5) after sub displacement. is the amp to little for the sub? i set the amp to JL specs. and then i get clipping. i've used the same amp on others subs and get better sound and more power out of it. but with ported boxes using the same JL specs. how should i set it with a sealed box?

hey guys... i am trying to find out the T/S Parameters of the Copper Coil Option. i was looking at the Fi site and thought it was weird that the BL rating was so low when compared to so many other drivers. would a very low BL rating not be ideal for Porting? i was considering doing a PR or Porting the box, but i was told by the guys at AE Speakers that a low BL # leads him to believe that it is not a good candidate for porting or a PR. does anyone have decent experience in porting the copper coil SSD and what results have you had?

Before i purchase the new baskets and recones i would just like to have some info or how to swap the motors from my 12'' q's to the new 15'' baskets? what kind of tools will i need and is it easy to do?

Hey everyone. I am a new member but have been reading a lot of threads here for a while. I recently purchased a 12'' SSD with the copper coil option for my 03 S-10 ext cab. I plan on throwing the recommended RMS or more at it. I am now struggling to figure out what type of enclosure to build for it. I have read good things about sealed and ported for this subwoofer. My goal is to have a good sounding setup that has the potential to be loud if I felt the need. I want to build a ported enclosure but am afraid of port noise seeing the enclosure is in the cab with me. I can build a sealed enclosure also pending peoples thoughts on this. If anyone with knowledge on desig…

ok so the ssds are rated at 1000w ... so if you have them fully loaded ... what would that do for the rms power handling?

ok so what im gunna do is put a single 12" BL into my f150....i have a bench seat in the rear so im gunna fold the short side, which is behind the passenger, and put the sub box there....i have approximately, 18" wide 16" deep and about 20" in height...the height is flexible tho....i have a kicker zx1500.1....can any one please help me design a box? thank you

I haven't ever designed a ported box before, but I did alot of reading and sat here for a few hours and came up with a design for my enclosure. You guys wanna check and see if I did it correctly? will be using 3/4" MDF. Outer dimensions: 29.5" width 15" height 15" depth Inner dimensions: 28" width 13.5" height 13.5" depth Volume = 28 * 13.5 * 13.5 = 5103 cubic inches convert that to cu.ft 5103 / 1728 = 2.95 cu.ft before sub/port displacement Port dimensions (which I hope are correct): 2" width 13.5" height 20.53" length Port volume = 2 * 13.5 * 20.53 = 554.31 cu.in convert to cu.ft 554.31 / 1728 = .32 cu.ft so... 2.95 minus .32 minus .15 (sub displacement) = 2.48 cu.ft I…

placed an order this weekend for a 12" BL that will be running off of a hifonics 1606. i've drawn out plans for a box thats 2.33@33hz w/33 sq. in. of port area (haha). will the hifonics be enough to push the sub? i can go bigger on the box to let it use the power a bit more efficiently, but whats your guys' opinions on this? anyone w/experience as to exactly how much power the hifonics is capable of putting out?

I was wondering if anyone know the spec sheet to this enclosure at 2.5ft^3 32hz. 3-D diagrams don't hurt =D

12" BL D2 Daily Flatwind Cooling @ ~1200RMS. 2.25cuft @ 32Hz. Just wondering what the subsonic filter is recommended to be set at. Right now it hits all the lows with ease when set at ~25Hz. (Soundstream TRX1500D)

Alright first off sorry for so many topics about all the subs. Im just in the process of deciding and im all over the place lol. But i think i have narrowed it down to either 1 12" Bl with BP Power and Flatwind Coil or 1 15" Q with BP Power. Both will be ported. I will use the US Amps MD 1D (underrated 1200w @ 1 ohm). I drive a 2004 Ford F-150 and will be taking out one of my back seats so i have about 7cuft to work with. As of now i am leaning towards the Q because it is about $70 cheaper and because i also listen to not only rap but country alot... Just want to hear some thoughts and opinions. Thanks

I was wondering if any one knows the true RMS rating for the Earthquake PHD5000, Kicker 1200.1, Massive audio P3000.1, AUTOTEK MM4000D, MA AUDIO HK802SX, Orion 2100, and Hifonics bxi2006d or Hifonics bxi1606d? I am just trying to figure out witch amps to go with when I run my stereo. If any has tested any of these amps please let me know. Also I would like to know if any one has ran one 12" BTL daily in a trunked car and had it metered to music? If so please post your scores on here along with pics of your installs or your car getting the score. Once I get mine I will let you know what it does with a bunch of different amps. Hopefully I will have it posted on here by next…

I was wondering if you could send me the exact dimensions, that would be the best for the 12" BTL that I just bought from you tuned to 32HZ? The biggest size box that fits in the trunk of my Chrysler 300 is 32"wide by 35"long by 15"tall, that is the biggest size box that we can fit in there. If you could help me out that would be great. This is the exact sub that I bought: BTL12 Ohm: dual 1 P_Chamfer: no Cooling: yes +$40 3rdMagnet: yes +$30 HiXmCoil: yes +$20 Daily_or_SPL: Daily Inner_H_Sink: not available Universal: yes

so, i got an enclosure built for my 12" BTL (single slug motor) but the magnet refuses to fit into the cutout. i was wondering what the cutout diameter would make it fit. i can't trim the cutout because its only enough for the cutout itself since the box is 14"H with only .25" clearance on the top and bottom.

Hey guys, I'm looking to build my own vented enclosure (my first) for a 12" BTL fully loaded. I have looked at the box builder programs, but am having trouble. Would someone please design on for me? The maximum dimensions are 15"H x 34"L x 30"D. I plan on making it double baffle, and adding a magnet holder. But I guess before finalizing a design, I was thinking that it should be tuned to 35Hz, what do you guys think? Thanks for the help in advance, Justin

Just currious if the new 12" BTL would be better suited in 2.5 or 3 cubic feet? Would tuning at 32 work or would I be better off tuning higher? Any info would be appreciated

Whats a good port length for the BTL as a daily driver tuned around the recommended 32 hz and 14in^2 per cube? 2000rms power. Enclosure will be glassed into the side of my trunk and I have around 4600in^3 before any displacements to work with. So should be around 2cuft after. Trying to see if I can make a ported enclosure work or not. Thanks!

Could somebody tell me what the diameter of the magnet is on the 12" BTL. And, what is the mounting depth of the same sub is. And one more thing, if I build a box that is 5" at the top, 11" at the bottom, 20" tall, and 40" wide, will that be enough room to fit a 12" BTL with just cooling(will it be deep enough)?
