  1. Started by truly_giftd85,

    I just down sized with my new vehicle so im thinking of running 2 15" Fi Q's sealed to help conserve trunk space. I want to keep using my T2500 but my question is will this be too much power to run these subs sealed? i plan on using an enclosure that is approximately 3^3ft per chamber. The car is a 2006 Impala SS. Any help would be much appriciated. Thanx.

I have a Autotek Street Machine 1500 watt amp that I was planning on using with them put I was curious if they could handle it.I did not get the BP power or flatwind coil when I placed my order.I got dual 1ohm instead of dual 2 ohm voice coils so im planing on running the subs at 1ohm.Any advice or help would be greatly appreicated.Let me know if any more info is needed and ill post it up.Thanks

    Ok I have a 07 Saturn ion I'm going to put in a q18 in the trunk. The box from the cut sheet for a ported box won't fit.... My trunk is 14.7 cf so getting a 7 cf box in there can happen I'm just clueless on how to go about it. My opening is 19x40 Ball parking that. of course there is the angle too... Any tips or ticks to get this built and in there would be very helpful. Also I hope I posted this in the correct spot.. Also I feel havering the sub firing tends the trunk lid would be my best bet

    Hey I'm hoping to have a Sonic FX Q 12" very soon (assuming DHL can find it ) I was wondering if you guys could recone it in the worst cast scenario were it gets blown??? It is very similar (practically the same thing) to Incriminator Audio's Death Penalty series, (in case you don't recognize the sub). I was just wondering what soft parts you would use in reconing it??? BTL, BL, Q ???? If you need more info on the sub let me know and I'll try and find it for ya. Thanks! Jon

    I read the recommendations for each speaker, but still have a few questions. First, I'm going to be ordering a dual 2ohm fully loaded 15BTL, Its going to be for daily with roughly 2500rms to it. My question is, is going fully loaded the right choice? Or will some of the options hurt the power handling instead of help it? For instance the universal option because of the gap size? thanks for the help

    I should be getting my new ssd 12 soon and a alpine amp that pushes 1krms at 2 ohms. I was wondering if the sub will handle 1k without any problems. I usually dont have my radio blasting 24/7 (but like to show off for a song or two) and most of the time im listening to rock/metal. It will be in a sealed box and i got no options on it but Hqts. So the real question is can i run the amp all the way up (gains set correctly) or should i run about 3/4 level. Thanks for the help.

    I'm looking at a BTL15, because I've heard good things. But until I get enough, I would probably be running 1 Sundown 1500d on the BTL15. If I got it optioned out, would it be able to handle a pair of strapped 1500d's? How much can a optioned daily driver BTL handle?
