    Does the copper option affect (lower?) the power handling? Since the flatwind increases power handling, decreases SQ, and the copper increases SQ a bit, the copper must have some kind of trade off, which I was thinking was a loss of power handling. Just wondering, Trevor

    Could one of you check my port length for me? 4 cubes @ 32Hz with 2.75" wide x 20.5" tall port is what I'm aiming for. I used an online calculator and it said the port needed to be 29.5" long... but someone else told me it needed to be like 36.5"? Thanks a lot

    Can I get a recone for 2 jl 12 w6's? My boy just smoked them and gave them to me. The only specs that I could find was, 300 watts rms, 2.5 inch coil, 11.1 xmax, and they are dual 6 ohm coils. And the dust cap comes with the recone? And what would be the new spes with the recone?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to build my own vented enclosure (my first) for a 12" BTL fully loaded. I have looked at the box builder programs, but am having trouble. Would someone please design on for me? The maximum dimensions are 15"H x 34"L x 30"D. I plan on making it double baffle, and adding a magnet holder. But I guess before finalizing a design, I was thinking that it should be tuned to 35Hz, what do you guys think? Thanks for the help in advance, Justin

    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

    I have 2 12" Fi Q's and im probobly going to order a subthump box for them, because I hear subthump makes one of the best prefab boxes for Camaros and Trans-Ams. However, these boxes only have a total of about 2 cu. ft. and after diplacement that would only leave me about .85 cu. ft. per sub. These boxes dont take up the whole rear well though, so if you guys think it would be worth it, I could cut out part of the bottom of the box and add some space down there. Thanks, Ben

    I have a excursion w/2 -18 Q's and want to know if i can tune them to 30hz instead of 28hz? and should i have the port and subs firing to the rear or facing up? all my boxes always had the port and sub on the same side.I would face them to the rear. I would face my box up and the bass cuts in half. Will this do same if i face the subs up and the port to the rear? I want to get the most that i can get out of subs and box. Any input....

I was messing with re box calculator and having a few problems getting the right size, i have limited space in the trunk of my civic. I am going to run it ported at around 32hz and would like to get as much cubic feet as i can out of my trunk, any help would be appreciated. Box can not be wider than 34 inches, can not be taller than 16 inches, and can not be deeper than 18 inches, any help would be a appreciated. The cubic feet part is easy to me but the whole port part and how long the port should be is confusing to me. thanks Also on the re box calculator site which number do i use to figure out the 12-16 s…

    I posted on another thread about needing the addy to send a motor in for recone, just didn't want to assume its the website address.. Also is it possible to do a full poly cap on a 3hp 18" recone along the lines of the 10" full FI logo one I saw in a earlier thread, or maybe from a HAVOC 18" plain?? I just prefer the look over the small boob/inverted one.. just wondering if its possible thanks, Joe

  24. Hi, I have been looking at FI for a while and I am thinking about getting 4 Q 12's. I will be running 2 MTX TA92001 amps which put out 3000 watts rms @1 ohm or 2000 @2 ohms. would 1000 watts (2 ohm setup) be enough to max out the sub or should I run a 1 ohm setup and just turn it down a little bit and give it more power. also, I have about 10 cu ft of trunk space and i am probably going to run 2 cubes ported for each sub. Should i seperate each sub in its own 2 cube box with its own port or just build a big box with no seperaters and one big port. and one final question for those of you who have had experience with the Q's and the BL's. How much louder will the BL's get …
