    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.

  10. hey all i just ordered my first fi btl 18 . i choose all the options that were availible for it so i guess it is fully loaded right? anyways my real question is how THE heck am im going to fit two in my civic ? i know most might say i prob shoulda thought of that first but i will find a way to make them fit . my best idea yet was to actually take out back seats and extend the trunk into the car so when you look into he trunk it looks like its reall deep. than build THE box into the trunk extension . basicly you would open the trunk and the woofers would sit right were the back of the seat was originaly and the box would be ported on the inside behind driver and passenger…

    In another fourm Im being told I need to change my tuning frequency from 32hz to around 60hz. Im running a FI q 12 d2 with a Crossfire VR 1000d. It would be for outlaw spl only not daily. FI doesnt recommend going outside of there suggestions, could any harm be done to my sub by tuning it this high ? Would there be any gains ?

    I am going to be building a box for my 2 15" btl fully loaded, I am curious wat of the two would be the best and how big should i cut/make the port, Also let me know if I mite need to make the box a lil bigger. ( i am also using 3/4 inch mdf) And should I have a baffle in between the subs or would one large box be best? Box 1 height 19" width 39.5" depth 23" Box 2 height 16" width 39" depth 35" Any help would be appreciated.

    Hy, I need help with my new box, as the topic title says. My car is a Mazda3 hatchback; the sub-amplifier is USAmps XT4000.1 (on it`s box it says "CEA" ), I don`t know if my version is overrated or will provide 1500W@1ohm. I want my Fi to play loud, and as low as hell . I`m thinking at a box tuned at 28-30hz. Can anyone help me with a project? I`ll measure my trunk and i`ll post here the max. possible lengths for the box. PS: I`m gonna use the stock HU with a MTX Re-Q sound procesor...

    Looking at the BTL SPL vs Daily Option.. I would like to use a pair of 15"s mainly for SPL competitions, BUT i would like to squeeze JUST a song or two out of them every once in a while.. They are not to be used as daily play subs.. my question is, would i be able to get away with playing music for a short while with them, with the SPL option, or would i be better off using taking the daily option instead.. thanks

    so i want to keep as much of my trunk as possible, so what im woundering is. My old box was like a perfect square, if the new box is the same cubic feet, but more rectangle than square so it will stay in the rear of my trunk. How will that effect the sound?

    I have a dual 1 ssd sub with the copper coil option in a 1.1 sealed box powered by an audioque 1200d. And im wanting more deeper bass and louder but trying to keep inline with my sq setup. Would a sealed enclouser with more power? Do I port the sub and keep the same power? If i would port the box what cubes would u guys recommend? The space want to put it is 15.25H x 12D x 31.5W these numbers dont included the thickness of the wood and the double baffle. I could put it in a different place if i cant get it to fit.. And What freq would u tune the port? Thanks for the help in advanced.
