Will I be doing a great injustice to my Q10 by only have 600 on it? It will be in a .6 sealed box. Amp is an Arc XDI600. I was trying to sell the sub but cant seem to get it sold, and am tired of it sitting around. So I finally decided screw the weight gain and am going to put it in my T/A. Thoughts?

I have looked through pages and pages of forums and cant seem to find anything explaining what the purpose of the space spider on the sp4 is. could someone please help?! i ordered a sp4 yesterday with the space spider and would like to know its significance.

* Rated RMS Power = 200 watts * Mounting Depth = 4.25" * Outside Dia. w/gasket = 8 5/16" .........(inside the lip is 8 1/8") * Inside Dia. 7.000" * Sealed Box: 0.280 ft^3 w/ F3 of 50 Hz (Qtc = 0.707) * Ported Box: 0.60 ft^3 tuned to 30 Hz F3 of 25 Hz * MSRP - $99 T/S S4 **: RMS: 200 Re = 3.37 ohms (4 ohm nominal) Fs = 34.9 hz Qes = 0.5323 Qms = 6.93 Qts = 0.4943 Vas = 7.6 L BL = 13.3 N/A Mms = 127.7 grams Cms = 162 um/N Xmax = 12mm one-way linear (70% BL method) I made an album with measurements of anything I could think of that you may need to know in order to find/build a recone kit for these... I'll need maybe 12-14 of these. thankyou!~!!…

I ran 2 fi bl 18's 3 or 4 years ago off 2 sundown 1500s in like 15 cubes net. Now I am looking at running them again in a scion xb. I have a box already that is 12 cubes net @ 32hz, how well would the bl 18's do in this box off sundown 3500d? Would it be too small, the site says 5-8 cubes each. thanks for any help

I've decided on the 2 12" ssd's. Really excited for it! NOW..... the box Ive always wanted to try an aeroport so i can adjust tuning and uses less space. But heres the catch. I dont know what to do lol. The box dimensions im looking at are: Height: 15.5" Width: 31" Depth: 16" According to RE calculator (which i know is off a bit) is about 3.5 cubes with no port. With those dimensions above or similiar, what aeroport do i get!? where do i put it on the box? I want it to be tuned to 32-33 hz thnx guys !!!

How much is one of those shipped to 68510? Also before you build it is it possible to have you guys put the biggest lead wires on there (like the ones you shipped me), because When I took mine apart to fix the wires it worked fine but the copper wire broke right next to the coil, and now I have no copper wire to solder the lead wires to. let me know if there is a way to fix this problem. Also would it be possible to send you the sub I have and get 2 10" Q's and a little bit more money in exchange? I think that I am going to go for sound quality this year, since I have a bigger car now. thanks Chris [email protected]

I was really hoping some one could help me out with blueprints or a layout for the idea enclosuer for this sub int he space i have to work with. car is a 96 cadi fleetwood brougham rwd i measure it out and The max demensions are H 16 W 42 L 28, i would like a box with 45's in it if possible. i only listen to bassy rap and r&b jezzy,gucci mane, etc for examples. ported obviously tuned to 32hz? again this if for a 15 FI BL fully loaded help woul dbe GREATLY appreciated.

I recently hooked up 2 Fi BL 10's to a pdx 1.1000 connected to the battery by 4 gauge wire. Within ten minutes of playing i had blown the fuse coming from the battery to the amp. I was wondering if attempting to run this setup off 4 gauge wiring is hindering the ability of the system and if it would be beneficial to up the wire to a 0 gauge. Thanks in advance for the help The fuse was a 10GA stinger fuse, switched to a 25A raptor ANL fuse & holder after burning the fuse. I switched because the stinger fuses were too spendy.

Hey i have a fi q 15 dual 2 and i have it in a ported box about 3.25 cubes tuned to 33hz and i wanna try to make a 4th order bass reflex box but i havent the slightest idea how to make one. i know its more math but i havent found a how to go on how to make the and which formulas to use to calculate the box sizes and ports. Im pretty good at car audio but i just need to get pointed in the right driection on how to make it. A local car audio installer whos a wizard with boxes is trying to teach me how to make one but he is just too busy right now to help me with my box.

I want to buy Q 10's. I am looking at ported box specs and there is a pretty wide range. I am looking for flat response and good SQ with a punch. I listen to metal and rap mostly depending on the day. They will each get 1000 watts in the trunk of Grand Prix. i was looking to do 28.75 sq inches of port for both, will that be enough, or will i benefit from upping it to 31.625

I have a 2001 PT Cruiser with a alpine 9887 hu: I used to have to pussy type s subs in the hatch and just didnt cut it at all. Saw the FI Q and fell in love.. So here is my questions if a get the Q 15 with BP and a Bxi1206D amp and then a PDX100.4 what do i need to do to so i have adequete electric power to have it all run???and if yall have any product suggestions please feel free...but i am only 17 and just graduated high school so i aint the richest kid around.

so this sunday, at a local comp i heard rumor that a guy was using a BTL N3 for a daly setup. I ended up seeing his name on the record board and couldnt believe it was true. The guys setup was a 18" N3 box 5 cubes tuned to 35hz, and he metered a 150.7 outlaw in a SUV. i was most impressed. I had the thought that the n3 could NOT play music daily, untill i heard his tonight. It sounded very good. i messaged nick immediately and he got back to me within a couple hours "as usual" and notified me that they can play music, BUT that him and scott believe the motor force is too great and will actually decrease SPL. so in other words you guys, the n3 can be played daily, however …

Hey guys, sorry if this subject has been brought up in the past. Search engine is not working well for me. I am getting a 15" IB being built for me and want to mount it properly. I am going the T-nut route but do not know what size screws to get? 1/4in enough for 3/8? I dont even know what size the holes are in the sub frame. thanks for your help! Ralph

This is what i am going to do: 2002 Impala 12" Fi Q dual 2ohm w/o bp option Kicker ZX750.1 2.5 cf^3 at 32hz ported box tubeafter displacement Kinetic battery under the hood Cap Big 3 upgrade **NO ALT UPGRADE** Is all this fine & should anything be changed? Better amp for a cheaper price? Any other suggestions or comments?

What is the recommended amount of port area for an SSD with copper Coils? Think I need to build another enclosure but I want to get everything panned out before I do so..

This is my original plan and am wanting to make sure this is my best option for Loud and clean bass. I was used to running 1 Audioque 15" ported at 29hz in 7.5cu ft box off of 1400w, it was ungodly! Current setup - 1 Audioque 15" Sealed in 2.2 cu ft off of 1400w. It is a little less loud in the low frequency area due to a lot lower group delay as well but like how it sounds as well. Anyways, my current project is to have 3 12" Qs off of 3 optidrive 2000ds. Each q would be wired to 0.35ohms all in a common chamber sealed box roughly 2-2.4cu ft stuffed with polyfill (emailed fi about this to see what they say bout the polyfill). Now, these amps are rated at doind 1,600w at…

I am looking at getting a 10" Q. Would a Crunch GP2250 be a good choice of amp if I got the dual 2 ohm? I would bridge the amp and wire the sub at 4ohm. If I'm not mistaken then that would be 1000w rms, right?

Ok I'm picking between the lanzer opti 2000 or 1400. Based on the specs at a 1ohm load with the 2000 I would be getting around 1600 watts "give or take" running to the sub right? With the 1400 the max is about 1300 but I would expect like 1000 or a little around 1000 like 900 something at 1ohm. Which one would u guys pick between the 2? Just for reminder I have the Fi Q 15 with bp option Man reason I'm asking is I don't wanna over power my sub.

Well I am gonna be going for my first recone attempt. It will be a BTL. I am feeling pretty confident but have a couple of questions. First thing How do I properly clean all the excess stuff from the original BTL. Like the surround on the basket and where the spider is glued down at. I was told just a heat gun to get it loosen up so I can just pull it all off? Second I hear alot of people talk about the "Triple joint" and how well that is glued. What is the triple joint? Also I am confused on how to properly "shim" it. Is it that the shim alligns it properly so that it doesnt rub? If so that means the paper shim is only making like a hairline gap? And wheres the best pl…

So would I be better off gettin an Ssd or bl? I'm jus getin one fifteen and I'm not lookin for sound quality jus wanna shake houses and go deaf and also I hav a Pontiac grand am.. Wuld the subs be better firing up.. In the cab? As of now they are facing outside(ATM I have 2 12" inch kicker cvrs powerd by 1000 watt kenwood in a pretty big ported box takes up most of my trunk)

I'm looking to recone two LA storm X1 10's. I want to use 12's instead. So what I need is two 12in baskets, and two recone assemblies that fit in the 3HP gap. I haven't been able to find out anything about the gap, other than its a 3in coil. But I saw at CA that you guys reconed a 3HP neo. What series coil fits? Thats the question. As it is right now, I have a Fosgate 1000D on each sub, so dual 1.4 or 2ohm coils would be what I want. I can say that they will be going in a 5cu ported box. (thats the largest I can fit in my car.) And I'll be using them for daily.

I wanna get a box built for my civic but don't know wtf to look for. Ok some info I plan on getting 1 fully loaded 15" btl when they update the site, and I wanna run at the most 2000w to it. Right now I only got an 800w amp but I plan on upgrading to a rockford fosgate t20001bd within a month. I also wanted to go ported instead of sealed on the box and I'm not to sure what Hz I should go with. Damn I feel so loss but I guess we all gotta start somewhere. So I'd appreciate the help and if more info is needed I'll give it. Thanks in advance

Hello, I was wondering what kind of screw I should use to mount my 12in BTL in 3/4in MDF? Thank you

do you think it would be fine for a 15 fully loaded btl to handle 2 sae 1200 on each coil at 1 ohm i did this with a solo x 12 before it hit hard

hi i have a 2nd gen btl i have a 5cubic foot box tuned a 33 hz i want to tune my amp but i dont no how to figure out how many volts each ch can take can anyone help thanks im runnning a hifonics brutus brz2400.1
