    Ive got 2 BTL 15s and i wanted to make sure my calculations were correct before i started building. The total room i have to work with is h=23 w=24 l=39inches. Total internal volume is 10.5 cubes, and after all displacements i have 8.65 cubes. the port dimensions are h=22.5 w=4.5 l=18.4 which should make the box tuned to 33hz. can someone check this for me to make sure i didnt make any errors. Thanks Keith

    My space is 39" wide and I can go 20" tall. How deep do I need to make the box (and how long AND wide does my slot port need to be) to have a net volume of 4-4.5cuft and a daily tuning of 30-33hz? Power will come from 2 sundown saz1500's strapped at 2ohm. Thanks

    All of my subs I own have the positive terminal on the left and negative on the right. Whether they be single or dual they are always in this fashion. I ordered a 15 sexxx recone for a se and a claw basket. I also ordered new terminals and wanted to make sure that I'm not going to install them incorrectly. My glue should be here in a day or so(I hope) and would like to start when it arrives. Thanks CJ

    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)?

    Can I get someone to assist me with an enclosure design for dual SP4 18s. Max dimensions are 27L x 30D x 30H. I'm currently running 2 15s and wanting to go with 18s. Power is a non issue since I'm now using two Crescendo 3.5ks. If this is possible please let me know. Looking to order the subs this week.

    Im planning on purchasing a single 12" SSD not sure what to get DVC1 or DVC2, i have a 08 ZX 750.1 kicker mono (2ohm stable). Now for the axcual question i listen to rap/hip hop, trance, and alternative rock and i have no clue what so ever on the enclosure that i need to use for the type of music i listen to. I have no idea on tuning ports. I would really appriciate if poeple could help me out to get what im supposed to use. Im looking to get a ported enclosure and this will be used in a Blazer(SUV). BTW how many cubic feet would be good for the sub. Im not looking into getting a humungous box in my cargo area. THNX

  17. Started by Yowhobedat,

    I bought a fi q 12 last year. I bought it with the intention to put it in a ported box. I have a genesis, the box is wayy to big for my trunk. I kept the sub in my garage until now. im planning on making the smallest sealed box possible for the sub, which i beleive is .8 . I selected a whole bunch of options, cant remember which ones though. Are there any options on the fi website that says the sub would have to be exclusivly for ported boxes? I know they have the high qts option, for sealed boxes. Im not too good with all these subwoofer terms, lol. I just want to know if i can put the sub in a sealed box without worrying im going to mess the sub up.

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

    Does anyone have plans for a ported box for a Fi 15" Q? It will be in the back of my 06 impala. I can post the dimensions of my trunk later, but any help would be awesome. I was looking for something tuned around 30-35 hz. Basically, I want something thats gonna really make my Q slam because all I really listen to is rap. Thanks.

    Hey guys im looking to try out the maxx link but i have a question for ya. Im gonna be running 4 kicker zx2500.1 amps and 2 18in Btl dual 1 ohm subs. The zx amps are 2 ohm stable and i was wondering if there is any possible configuration to have the amps see a 2ohm load once strapped. Also would i be better without the maxx link and running each amp to each coil? What ohm loads could i see there. thanks
