Well, i've figured out that I can fit a 5.5 cu box in my trunk, now i was originally going to go with two 15" btl's but after taking measurements, it seems like my trunk would be more suited for two 12" btl's. My question is, which would sound better/be louder/hit lower freq's better in a 5.5cu ported box? they will be tuned at about 32hz Any help would be appreciated, thankss

I was told I can wire this in series to achieve 2ohms. But when I looked up a diagram for the wiring, it didn't make any sense. can someonen post a link of a good diagram? The amp is rated at 1200 watts @2ohms. rms. I figured this would be a perfect match for the Q. Thanks for the help.

Well I just recently bought a Q and since I was eager to listen to it, I put it inside the only box I had. The current box is a sealed box with about .9 ft^3 after displacement. Since its on the smaller side I threw some polyfill in the box as well. Now I want to build a ported box and I honestly have no clue as to where begin. I read through several pages, and found some plans but they don't suit my needs. I also searched online for calculators and only came across the RE calculator. I don't know how accurate it is but it kind of gave me an idea how port length affects tuning frequency. I'm a little tight on space and have a maximum of 30"w x 16"h x 16"d. Matter…

I am loving those FI x specs, and it has a strong BL as well I wonder why these didn't sell as good as the others.. It almost seems like its a good as a subwoofer as a ssd but cheaper. Im no expert but looking at teh specs it has a stonger bl. more efficient, lower fs Did we miss out on one hell of a woofer? or I know I did. IT has a nice xmax as well.

ok so one night i was sitting around thinking up some new box ideas. i really want to have my sub facing forward into the cab of my car, and have the port be on top of the subwoofer. so i was doing some concepting and came up with this, Box idea. I just want to know if it will work. i forgot to put notes so.... notes: 1. double baffle front plate 2. round port edges 3. 2.8 ^3 feet of airspace after all displacement 4. 3/4" mdf or particle board used. its going to be firing forward with the trunk sealed from the cabin. thanks, Anton Miller

I was just wondering if pictures and/or cut sheets would ever be available on the forum. At the very bottom of the Pinned BTL Enclosure Recommendations Thread it says that "Pictures and cut sheets for some enclosures [are] coming soon," however that has been up for many months now and I was wondering if they would ever be up. I just got my 12'' BTL reconed and am wanting a more simple design this time for my box, however I have not found any actual standard recommended designs posted up by Fi, and was just wondering if they would ever be made available. Thanks

Is there like a list of subs that you guys can recone? or is it just american sizes? or what? Are there any rf's able to be reconed? or are they all foreign motors of some kind??<----T1's????? i want some ssd's soooooooooo bad but i need some $$$ and ive got 2 toasted T1's sittin here, jw wonderin if i can do anything with them instead of sending them to rf for $104 each plus shipping which is like $40 each, each way---- $400+ haha Thanks

room wise im stripping everything out of the back of my car and starting again.. the box in there is 3.5CUft with displacment to give you an idea on how big it is, i need some ideas of port and sub postioning which way to face them, where to put them? and general box design also some advice on the actual sub will be using for : Daily use 2000RMS @30Hz so what options would be best for the sub? Vw lupo thank you

Hey guys. I plan on purchasing two 12" Fi BL's. I will be powering them with two NINe.1 amps.....those are my plans. any other suggestions for amps are welcome. But the NINe.1's fit my bugget perfectly. I need suggestions for a box.... Ive been messin around and came up with this box. I will 45 all of the corners and seal her up tight. Should this box pound alright, but still sound dec.?? thanks here's the link http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...;Fs=27&CE=0

I have 2 fully loaded BL 12's that are dual 2ohm and want to make them dual 1ohm. How hard is it to get them switched over? I have no skill at recone myself so do i need to send that back to FI? They are 3 months new.

i bought 2 bl 18's d2's in 2008, one in october, one in november. Now i am wanting to run 3 18's but was told not to mix those 2 with newer bl 18. I got these 2 with cooling, flatwind and universal options. Do you have any older bl's in stock or stuff to build one? Or could I run a new one with those? thanks

last wee end i was playing around with my system and i was play with a cd that went 1 to 100 cycles and sweep. i thnk that i might of found my sweet spot for my explorer around 46 to 48 hz. i was look at get 2 fi sdd 18 and i as wondering would 46hz to48 hz be to high to tune a box to?

Hello, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to assist me with my first enclosure build. I created an enclosure in Torres that seems to meet my needs, but I am not quite sure if there is enough port area for these subwoofers. Being a long time lurker, I know the people here are quite knowledgeable, so I figured I would throw it out there to see if it will work, or if it needs to be changed up. Here is the screenshot for what I have worked up so far in Torres: Does that seem good enough for port area? This is going in the trunk of a 2004 Toyota Corolla. The dimensions for height and width are the max that I can get away with for front firing subs. If …

what kind of enclosure am i looking for? i have a 1995 lumina, and now im seeing what kind of box i should go for. ( i have a very large trunk. ) i think my MTX JH55 is a 4 cube box. and i still have room for a little more, could someone post the exact and best enclosure for the FI BL 15? and is there any very good box builder for xp or vista? also could i get exact specs for the 15bl with cooling, daily, universal, and a red dustcap. ALSO would a hifonics 1200ixd amp wire at 1 ohm be ok to power this amazing sub?

I had an enclosure built and waiting for it to arrive. I am impatient and wondering what you guys think about the demensions. I got a basic 12" Q D1. Sealed enclosure: Width= 14.75" Height= 12" Depth= 15" Which is said to be 1.27 cubic feet "net volume" I am planning on facing the sub upward toward the roof in the back seat of my truck

how big of a box should i build for 2-12 btl? It will be powered by 2-40.1, i was thinking 4 cu at 35hz bad idea?

ok so the ssds are rated at 1000w ... so if you have them fully loaded ... what would that do for the rms power handling?

I have an 18" btl in the mail it should be here tomorrow, I totaled my truck a few days ago that it was going to go in so now I have to put it in a 98 mitsubishi eclipse for a month or so i'm looking at making a box L34xH24xD17 wich I think is about 6.9ft cubed so I would need about 75 square inches of port. how do I tune it to 32hz?

scott or nick, or anybody else that knows i have a question. i have two 12's that i bought in germany and being the dummy that i am i dropped the box they were in and one of them completely broke the basket all the way around! the woofer is still good i was able to line it up and push down and the voicecoil isnt damaged all the surround and wires are still attached. the speaker looks like it has almost the same basket as my fi 12's is it possible to take the woofer and replace the basket so i don't have to buy new woofers yet?and if so can you guys do it? or can only certain speakers be re-attached like this?

I'm trying to decide on a sub for my car, and design an enclosure for it. I listen to a lot of drum and bass, so due to the wide range of frequencies, I've already decided to go with a sealed enclosure, and I have a Hifonics BXi 1606D to power the sub. My original plan was to go with a 10" Q, as I figured it would be more than loud enough, even sealed. The issue I've run into, however, is that I want to mount the amp on top of the box, to keep things more compact (take up less trunk space), and to make the box and amp easily removable for autocrosses. The problem I'm having is that once I make the top of the box large enough to hold the amp (~11.25 x 14.5), and make the b…

I got two 15 inch BLs and I would just like to know how to tune the enclosure port to 33 hz? Is there some sort of program that could show me how?

Hey i was wondering if you guys could recone a Rockford Fosgate HE? I cant find any recone kits.

My new box will be 4 cubes at 30hz, with sub up and port facing the tailgate in my blazer. (5 inchs port to tailgate) My running it with a sae-1200d So my question is, is this box too large?

Hi, is it possible to convert a btl from 15 inch to 12? And what would be the price? More than a new 12 Q? I'm from germany so it's not possible to send this thing in.... Thanks Patrick
