    so im looking to build a new box for the blow through in my truck. trying to think of some new designs to make it interesting. is there any benefit to having the subs angle towards eachother? i was thinking having them facing eachother down the center with plexi on each end so you can see the inside. thoughts?

    I am in need of two 15" recones and baskets with screws for my RE SX's at the moment, I will need two more at a later date. I need dual 1's with some slightly bigger tinsel leads, not the spl ones from the btls, if that is posible. I need the total price for all of that shipped to 47987. Thanks; Andrew

    Hey I own a 03 Tiburon GT and am planing on putting in 2 12" BLTs with 2 SAZ-3000ds. I want to compete in SPL but also want to be able to listen to music (not as important). What type of box should i get ported or seal and should I get a wall or will it just be a waste of wood. I don't want to do a wall unless it will boost me db. Thanks for the help, I don't have a clue what to do.

    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.

I'm in the process to get 2 Bl 12" d2 and I need the know if the HIFONICS BRUTUS BXi2608D will be a good option (cheap one) in a 5.0Cu. Ft. This will go in the trunk of a Toyota Yaris 5 door. My budget is pretty tight, that the main reason why I decided the BXi2608D. Here are the pics of my trunk Visit My Website

    So if I get a DVC 2ohm BTL that means there are two voice coils, which just ONE can handle 2kwrms correct? So if I hook up 2kwrms to each, shouldnt that work? Or lets say 1500 on each coil for less heat? Yes yes I understand Im retarded, but you never learn if you never ask P.s. figured out my other question..

    I'm going to run 2-18'' BTL's each in there own box with 2500 watts to each sub. I would like to know if 6 cubes each would be good for the power that i'm running or should the box be bigger to reach full xmax? And do you have to add the ports size to the size of the box or not? I know you add the sub displacement to the box so do you add the ports to??? Want to run 2-6'' Precision Ports pre sub tuned @32hz. Does this sound like it would work? Want LOUD DEEEEEEEEEP BASS. And what is the disp. of a fully load BTL? Any help would be great.

    what does Universal option do to the sub frequencies response? will it make the SPL lower since the motor is not optimised for the coil impedence chosen? or does it give the 'peaky' effect like flatwind?

    I have a mazda ext cab pickup and have about 12cu feet to work with. I really want the FI Q18's. I have never owned a pair of 18's and that's what i want. I want to kind of do what Steve Meade did in his honda and build the enclosure inside of the truck. If i can't do that this is the space i have to work with 30in high x 49in wide x 14in deep. If i built inside i think it would be a little bigger. I was wondering if I can't fit 2 of the Q's, should I just use 1 of the Bl's?
