    I'm Looking At Building A Ported 8 Cubic Foot Box For The SSD 18. Someone Couldn't Help Me With The Dimensions And Port Size, Could They? I'd Seriously Like...Appreciate It. Also Specs For A Square Port Or A Slot Port, And How You Make A Square One. I Suppose Its Just A Hole In The Box Panel? The Sub Is Firing Up, Port Firing Back.

    Ok, so my fully loaded 18" BTL should be here on wed., I want to get started on the box in the next couple of days. But I have no hands on experience with this sub, and I don't like relying on a computer program. So, I need to know what size box/tuning I should be looking at for it, all info listed below. 18" Fully loaded BTL, powered by an MA Audio HK4000D @ 1 ohm, so roughly 3500ish rms. I don't listen to THAT much rap, but still want it to hit the lows.I listen to stuff with a lot of double kicks, which I don't want to sound really sloppy/mushed together. So, cliff notes. BTL 18, 3500rms, and lots of double kick drums Also, PLEASE do not reply if you do not know what …

Enclosure reccomendations? About to order this shit tonight confirmation in the forum would be optimal

    12" BL D2 Daily Flatwind Cooling @ ~1200RMS. 2.25cuft @ 32Hz. Just wondering what the subsonic filter is recommended to be set at. Right now it hits all the lows with ease when set at ~25Hz. (Soundstream TRX1500D)

    I have an 18 SX that I would like to have reconed. What is the procedure to have the sub sent in and reconed? What would the estimated price and shipping to 30286 (Georgia) cost? I emailed Fi Car Audio about a month ago, but unfortunately, I never got a reply. I've sent a couple more emails here and there, but still, no luck. Anyone have any ideas of how I can get in touch with them? I would call, but I was unable to find a phone number. Many thanks, Mike

    Umm I'm having a bit of a problem. I need someone to go into bass box pro or whatever you like and design me a box. The external dimensions are 27Hx40Wx25D. I'd like it ported. Please don't tell me to get different subs or a different car, I just can't make that happen.

    So heres the deal: I bought 2 12 X's A few months back during the clearance, and I put them in a horrible prefab ported box with circle ports and after about 2 days, a blown out side panel. Supposed to get 1.6-2.2 cuft in a ported box, I think theyre getting 1 each. It sounds decent I guess, but if I get it past about 1/3 volume, I get the worse port noise I've ever heard. I just got back from Home Depot, and I bought a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 MDF. I'm planning on starting the construction of my new box tomorrow. I've decided on sealed, because to be honest, theres about 0 chance of me successfully building a ported box. Here are the stats for the X series 12's: Sealed box: .9-…

    Need help with deciding on building enclosure for (2) 15" FI BTL. Going for ~36hz This is the amount of room i would like to use: Width = 36" (Max width due to wheel.) Height = 24" Depth = 22" Would be sound better if the sub face up or sub face back. Also the same question apply to the port. All of this is going inside a SUV. What are your recommendation for the port? If the above measurement are small, please give me some recommendation. I would like to keep the box small but also sound good.

    The website says between .8 and 1.5 cu. ft. for a sealed enclosure. Could someone give me a more exact size? Or at least tell me what would be the difference in sound if it was placed in a .8 cu ft box vs a 1.5 cu ft box? I'm currently running an IDQv3 12 and was given an exact volume size for a sound quality setup. What do you guys suggests? I listen to rock and electronic music. Thanks in advance!

    I'm going back & forth between using 2 15" IB3's & 1 18" IB3, but am a little concerned about their output between 50-80hz. I'm going to use 8" pro audio midbass in my doors, but from what I've read they shouldn't be crossed lower than 80hz. Does anyone have any input they can give me on the IB3 line playing these higher frequencies?

  21. Started by Poundhardheh,

    Hey guys, my enclosure is nearly finished. The specs are.... It's 3.97 cubes before displacement, so I am guessing around 3.5 after due to the sub displacement and the bracing. The box is tuned around 33hz. I've tryed it in my friends vehicle and it pounds pretty hard. Not 100% happy yet. I'm thinking that's just because it's not broken in yet. I heard it in a Ford Expedtion, but the sub will be going in a 96 Cutlass Supreme. Hopefully it will get much louder. I'm powering it with a JL 1000/1. But what I'm wanting to know is are those good specs for the box? That's about the biggest box I could fit in the trunk. Help would be appreciated!
