I have always done sealed boxes before and I ordered a 10 inch dual 2 ohm bl and am struggling with the port dimensions. Different programs I use come up with different numbers. The recommended dimensions are 1.2 cuft with 15 inches of port. I am assuming thats 15 square inches. I have the room for width of 16 inches wide by 13 inches tall and 19 inches deep outside dimensions. Which according to my calculations using 3/4 inch wood is 1.97 cuft. But I only need 1.2 cuft. The 13 inches is the most important measurement. I don't want to go higher or lower than that. The depth of 19 inches is what I want to shrink the most and I only want to go 15 inches wide at the n…

will it be safe if i'm smart with my gains? is bp power a must? i plan on not using the full 1600w. because my electrical will crap. 2.24cuft 34hz thank you

I have one SSD10 D2 with copper coils in a sealed box with about 600 watts rms coming from a Phoenix Gold Ti600.2 I know going ported will give me more output but i'd really like to stay with the sealed box I have because it fits perfect in the truck. So, i've been looking into getting a 1000 watt amp like a Sundown 1000 or Alpine PDX 1000. Would this upgrade be worth it or should I stick with what I have?

I'm the one with the konaki motor ! Please recone it. I've sent you guys emails and nothing yet. Its been almost a month. Give me dual 1 18" with the strongest softparts available . K-thanks bye. My email is [email protected]

what add ons should i get on a 15" BL if i plan to use it daily powered by a sundown 1500?

ok so i was thinking of either getting 1 or 2 fi q 12's or 1 or 2 fi q 15's because i want a little more sq, but i like listening to rap sometimes and i was wondering how low a q 12 can play

hey guys, im gettin either 1 or 2 amps, here are my options, 1 of these bridged http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12212_...+BXi+2608D.html or 2 of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12210_...+BXi+1208D.html these are mono d class amps, now the bridging of the single amp is my concern, i ordered dual 1 of the BLs, would this diagram work? the subs are 1 ohm correct? so would this diagram still be somewhat valid? and if this does work, how would i design the box, because currently im planning to separate the chambers, unless one of you can direct me in the right way or i can jsut get the 2 smaller amps

Is it possible to order just a recone kit and diy? If so what are the prices on 12" and 15" BTL's anyone know? Also is there a way to contact Fi directly other than e-mail like a phone number?

I was wondering which setup would fit better. i currently have a kicker 750.1 and i was planning on gettting a fully loaded 12" duel one ohm sub and running it at 2 ohm. I was wondering if that amp would be enough. If not then I plan on getting a fully loaded BTL 12" duel one ohm sub and running it with a Lanzar2000D. Thats supposed to put our 2000watts @ 0.5 ohms CEA rated. Which setup would work out better?

Which would get louder 1 15" Bl in a ported box or 2 12" ssds? They would be powered by a saz-1500d. im wondering which would get louder and sound better. any help would be great.

How do these box plans look. I plan on using them for my 15 inch SSD. It is going in a trunk of a 94 Honda Accord http://flickr.com/photos/8063442@N08/sets/72157605256765339/

Well here it goes, I am planning on running 2 18" Q series Fi's in my daily driver(2000 GMC Safari). I need box design ideas for this aplication, I want it to be more aimed at sq then db. I am running a Alpine pdx 1000.1 to each 18 at 4ohms at 1000watts rms. The room I have available for the build in the back measures 50 inches wide by 34 inches deep by 21 inches tall. plan on useing 3/4 mdf for box. Pritty much need to know everything what hrz to tune it at, How many ports, what size ports, slot ported or round. Let me know what you think any ideas would be a great help. Also when are the Q's going to be available to order.

I am going to get a 15" Bl and i am going to power it with a sundown 1500 and i was wondering what i should get it with besides for daily.

hey, im ordering 2 BLs, i kinda have a design for a box, but need some help since this will be my first attempt at making one here is my plan i got a question on the length to the second port, i used the re enclosure so it game the the first, but does the second port wood need to be directly or close to the center of the subwoofer? and to separate the 2 woofers, do i need 2 pieces of wood or jsut 1? thanx

Well right now im running one 15 Fi Q in the trunk of my civic. The box is around 3.2 after displacement and tunned around 33. I got it ran off a memphis 1000D. It sounds pretty good but i was thinking about doubling my power and getting another 15 Q. Problem is i barely have enough room for one in my trunk. My civic is not my daily driver and i was possibly thinking about walling it and running 2 15Q's off of 2000rms. I was just wondering everyones opinions on this? Would it be worth walling with that power and how do u think it would sound in a good built box. Any help or sugestions would be appreciated, figured i would get some opinions before deciding on this, thanks

I sent my sub off about a week ago to yall to have it reconed i was just checking the were abouts on it. . . i sent it to the address on the fi website. . . just tell me if yall have received it yet.? Thanks, Charles

Hey, I sent you guys a konaki motor about a month ago with an invoice of what I wanted. Just wondering what the statis of it ? The name is Jason Leonard if that helps. I left the invoice in a pouch outside of the box will my contact info, email address, payment options and what I wanted. If you could just reply to this on the statis of the motor/woofer. Here is the tracking number --> 1ZE4E0710335401132 Thanks -Jason

yes, i searched. my sincere apologies if someone has asked this before. i am planning on buying a single 12" D2 SSD or Q... which one is yet to be decided the amp is a hifonics 1206d, an alleged 1200w rms but closer to 900-1k probably. stock electrical + big three already built the box, ported 2.25cubes@34hz so.... i want to make sure the sub sounds good, i know both of them will get plenty loud for my tastes, but my main question is, if i get the copper coils does that reduce the rms rating of the sub? do the CC's really make taht big of an SQ difference? the reason i'm asking, is becasue the FW coils improve the power handling at the expense of some SQ, so i didnt kn…

i sent my woofer in for a recone and spoke with nick via email briefly, but havent heard a response in a while. i need to get the sub back asap, im not sure how much to pay them for it with shipping to 85259. if anyone can contact them via phone, that would be fantastic as i would love to have the sub back by thursday or friday for a road trip. i know its 75 plus shipping, but im not sure how much the shipping is and if it can be back to me by then. he said it can be done within a day if need be. Thanks, anthony iocca he can reach me at 480-648-6785. my email is down right now.

Hello, first of all please excuse my english, I am from Romania. I just received a fi Q 15 ( no options ) and I am trying to calculate my speaker enclosure. I want to go for sealed enclosure because I don't have much space in the trunk ( BMM e46 sedan ). Recommendations for fi q box is 2-2.6 cu ft. With my calculations I am about 2.5 but I want to be sure I calculate it right before I give the blueprints to the box builder This is my result, I am happy because it fits inside the trunk perfectly. I made a dummy box to see how it will fit inside the car. Wood is 1 inch thick.

Ok well i built a box for an 18" Fi BL the specs are 42" wide, 22" high, and 22" deep. The port is 5 inches wide and 15.5 inches long. tuning it in the upper 31hz range. The box was like 8.3 cu ft. before woofer displacement. is that too big for a 18" BL with flatwind coil? Because the box doesn't sound good at all. and the woofer gets pretty warm on zx1000.1. I feel like its too big but i could be wrong.

im running 2 fully loaded 15" btl's D2 of of 2 ia 20.1's. each amp is seeing a 1 ohm load and it doesnt seem as loud as it should be or as loud as what i was expecting. my box is 9 cubes after displacement, and is tuned to right about 34 hz. im wondering if my port area is to large, im running right now with 157.5 in^2 of port area and used 12 in^2 per cubic foot when designing it. box is 12.73 cubes before displacement. this is in an extended cab 06 silverado and it pounds the lows dont get me wrong, but i expected it to be louder then what it is. i can always make a port plug but have never done one and am wondering if i do need one, what would would you recommend me to…

ok well i have a 18 q im going to put in my trunk .theres plenty of room . my box will be about 8 cubes tuned to 28. the problem is i can only mount the sub on top because the trunk height is only 19 inches...is itgoing to sound right with the speaker up close to the trunk lid...besides major outside rattling would there be any other problems?.thanks

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
