    OK well, apparently the I didnt have a clean enough cut and the glue didnt hold my 1in thick dowels very well. The bass eventually flexed the fudge out of them. One came off and the other, well snapped... I noticed ever since around that time, the sub hits, but not as hard. Like its loud, but i used to have trouble breathing in or talking. Now I dont. Could the bracing have something to do with this since the box is flexing so much without it? Just a question is all. Didnt plan on replacing it.

    A buddy of mine has an Orion amp, I'm not sure on the model of it but it's a 2400 watt amp and the yellow ecp light I think it is comes on and there is no output from the sub so I'm just kind of wondering what the ecp light is for and why it is on.

  11. So i just ordered my 15" BL sub, and im getting it soon and cant wait, but im kind of stuck on what amp to run it off. I was looking at the Kicker ZX 1500 amp, using all Monster cables to power it. however, before i spend my money on this amp, i want to be sure that it will be the right amp? is there any other amp that could be better for me to get around the same price as the kicker amp? i rlly want my sub to pound, but sound good at the same time. thanks alot to anyone who helps me out

    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?

    i have the base model q18 and a 1kw amp that has been tested to put out 1200wrms. i have my q in a large box behind my seat in my truck and i can smell the coil a little if i blast it for a couple mins. the amp was set correctly with a dmm so i know its not clipping. so i was wondering if there was anything i could do to improve the cooling so it doesnt get so hot. could i add the bp optioned vent plug to the pole or would i need to sent it in to get work done to it. i dont want to void any warranty so if you could help fi guys that would be cool.

  19. Started by ganesh21,

    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.

    I just ordered my dual 2-ohm Fi Q15 last night and will be ordering the Cadence iA7 today. I was hoping that one of you would be able to point me in a good direction as to where I should buy an enclosure for this, or where I could have one built. I plan on going sealed, is there an ideal size besides just 2-2.6 cubes? Any other suggestions? Thanks guys
