    How do you guys go about breaking your sub in? Do you let it break itself in overtime or do you play a nice tone to help exercise its suspension? Well I should be receiving my 15" full loaded BL today and I can't wait till I get home to get it so im looking to exercise the suspension so that it can be broken in for the weekends upcoming local comp event.

    I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD FIT 2 15'' BTL'S IN MY TRUNK. IF NOT COULD I FIT 2 12'S? I wanted to build a ported sub enclosure tuned to 32 hz. I ALSO WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMEONE I COULD PAY TO DESIGN ME A SUB ENCLOSURE? AND I ALSO WANTED TO KNOW IF HAVING 1 AMP POWER BOTH SUBS IS ANY BETTER THAN HAVING ONE AMP PER SUB (FOR EXAMPLE 2-2,000 WATT AMPS AS OPPOSED TO 1 4,000 WATT AMP? IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME OUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, THANKS, IM TERRIBLE AT MATH. My trunk mesurements are in the following link, I wasn't able to figure out how to post the picture. Trunk specs

    Right now i currently have 2 boxes around 5.4 cubes per box @ 34 hz. I know i really could get the BL's to slam the lows alot louder if i got around 7 cubes per sub. SO with that being said im going to make 1 ported box*walled* and tryn get my max dimensions. I was going to get crazy and fiberglass all the nukes and cranny's but im really not the best with just winging it and figuring out port lengths and cubes when its not a regular rectangle. On to my question... Do you find the Sq. inches for port area before or after all the displacements. EX. I have 15 cubes to work with total 45x34.5x20 external dimensions for 2 18" BL's Do i multiply 16(rule of thumb) sq inches x 1…

    Hi guys ! I was wondeering if can all help me out.. I purshased 2 12' Fibtl Fully loaded and after all I descided to try on with 1 first . I hoocked it up to a Hifonics Colossus XXV and wired it a 1ohm ...after like 5 minutes of playing time...the sub was working on and off. To me it looks like when it gets warmed up the sub completly stops working...but if I leave it cool off..it will work for a minimal amount of time. My amps never lost power and always stayed on. Do you guys think I blew the sub ??? or should I try to rewire the sub to a higher ohm ??? Thanks for all your inputs and help on getting my problem resolved !

    I have two Fi X 12's and the tensil leads slap really bad. I have about 450watts on each.. i know the RMS is 300 watts.. but the sub is still putting out clean sound other than the leads... i noticed that the tensil's aren't aligned with the pad on the back of the cone. if i were to relocate the pads do you think this would solve the problem? THANKS

    Could a X10 with the BP power option be put in a larger box than .55cuft sealed? I have a box that is ~.75cuft and another that is ~1.2 cuft. Both sealed. Just curious how/if it would work in one of the larger boxes. With the BP option, what rms can I expect to run in the .55cuft box? And if poss what rms in the larger boxes? Thanks

  23. Started by QuestionMan,

    Well i asked quite awhile back what i should tune to if i wanted a loud daily listener, and most people stated 33-35 hz. It turns out that the box i've made is 34.97xx, so i just want the final word from people before i seal up the box and have to live with it. I mainly listen to rock and rap, and want it to be loud, but won't be visiting a TL anytime soon. Edit: Sub: 18" Bl. Box: 6.3 cu ft, tuned to 34.97xx. amp: would love sundown, but may have to settle for a bxi2006d (which would be alright for me, just would prefer the sundown)
