    I'm looking at buying 2 15" Q's with the bp option and just using it for daily driving no competitions. I wasn't sure if it is worth paying more money for the SAZ-3000D or if the AQ2200D is just as good of a fit for my application. I have been through a lot of bad amps and want to go with a good quality and very reliable amp that I won't be afraid it will break after a year of use. I don't know if anyone has or heard a setup like this with either amp but any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all! I have a 2004 Dodge Ram Quad cab. These things are impossible for trying to put in subs without pulling out seats and all kinds of stuff (not interested in). Found a guy who makes a specific "molded" box that goes underneath the rear seats. I really want to go with the Fi Q 12", heard really good things about the Q's and I prefer 12's over 10's for the notes they hit. However, this box has a single chamber totalling 1.8ft^3 in a sealed setup for a 12". Will the .9 - displacement per sub be enough to adequately run? How much polyfil should I use? He also makes a 10" vented @ 36hz and 10" sealed. The airspace would be the same as the above box. Would it rea…

    Can someone give me the screw hole diameter of the 15" Fi BL? I saw the outer diameter was 15.625" but did not see a screw hole diameter. I am working with limited height and don't want the screws to be lined up on one of the boxes wall. Hoping I can save around a 0.5" inch on the height just having the outer surround overlay on the outer 3/4" edge of the box. Thank you for any help! I would measure it myself but I am ordering the woofer in the next few days and want to start the build now.

    Hello, first of all please excuse my english, I am from Romania. I just received a fi Q 15 ( no options ) and I am trying to calculate my speaker enclosure. I want to go for sealed enclosure because I don't have much space in the trunk ( BMM e46 sedan ). Recommendations for fi q box is 2-2.6 cu ft. With my calculations I am about 2.5 but I want to be sure I calculate it right before I give the blueprints to the box builder This is my result, I am happy because it fits inside the trunk perfectly. I made a dummy box to see how it will fit inside the car. Wood is 1 inch thick.

    I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils, going to be running them off of a Kicker ZX1500.1. I don't have a lot of room to work with after I reinstall the back seats of my truck and all, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience running them in a sealed enclosure? What's the smallest I can afford to run?

    Ordering one x12 4 ohm sub today with BP Power option. It will be running in the 320 to 400 watt range. The specs call for a box .6 to 1.1 cuft. Why is there such a range and what is the difference if i built a box at .6 cuft versus building it at 1.1cuft? I have the room to build it to the max dimensions, just would like some more info? How do I figure out exactly what size I need to make it sound great? I listen to mostly older rock, 70's and 80's, but some newer stuff to as well as a little rap if it is a good song.

    Hey guys right now I have 2 12" ssds running off us amps 4000.1 (1500 rms) and the subs are in 2.5^3 ft per sub @ 33 Hz. The box is just soo big and so hard to deal with and I want to build a sealed box and see which i like better. Is it normal with this large of a ported box i have a very weak upper end?? I want to put the ssds in the best suited sealed box. I have an avalanche and the box goes in the bed so i have plenty of room. I was thinking somewhere a long the lines of a sealed box around 1.1-1.3. You guys know these subs the best so if you were going to build a sealed enclosure what deminsions would you build it to. I have plenty of room so it doesnt matter how wi…

    I'm getting away from a ported box with my X 10" and going small sealed like .6ft^3. So what kind of power would get it rocking pretty good. I'm thinking around 300 but currently have 160 on it and love it. I want more sq and not so loud as ported. I love the sub and don't want a different one just different sound.

I have the space for the ported enclosre (6.2 cu.ft)and i also have the space for the sealed enclouse. I love both sealed and ported enclosures. But which encloser would be the best for good sound quality and will also get loud. Any input is welcome. thanks

    My 12" Q should be delivered tomorrow according to UPS. I'm trying to decide on either a sealed or ported box to go under the rear seat of my Extended Cab Silverado. I've never run a sealed enclosure in my past 2 setups, and I'm skeptical as to whether I will be satisfied with the output of one. Any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!
