    I will be running 2-18'' BTL's off of 2-MTX TE4001D's. I would like to know if this power setup is good for what I need to run my amps. Yollew top for the starter with a 200 amp alternator, 200 amp isolator, and 2 yellow tops in the rear for the sub amps. How would I wire the 2 yellow tops in the rear. + to + and - to - ? Ground each battery or only 1? Any help with this would be great and where and what battery,alternator,or isolator I should use? And what is the Big 3? Thanks Fi buddies...

    I have a toyota ex cab truck and I was wanting to know what is the biggest sub set up I can fit in the back? The space in the back is 19'' deep X 22'' tall X and 53'' wide. I want to do a ported box with either 2 Q18's or 2 Q15's. Given this amount of space what do you think I could fit back there? -Alex

    I've been playing with my max dimensions and the biggest/best box I can come up with will be 12.33cu ft w/ 192.5sq in of port tuned to 32hz. I would like 13-14cu ft but the only way I can get any more box volume will be to shrink the port. Will these specs do okay for a daily driver that does part time competitions? Primarily it is a ground pounder. Thanks

    Hey guys. Im about to pull the trigger on a 12" SSD. My question before I do is can I reverse mount the sub? The space is kind of tight for the setup im trying to achieve and this would be my best option. Also I have a Diamond Audio amp already on hand. It can push 800rms @ 2 ohm and 1200rms @ 1ohm. Which would be my best option.? I was thinking of getting the 12" Q if it is a better option but was hoping to go with the SSD. Im already pushing 300rms to my DLS comp. up front. from a seperate amp. Im looking for an LSQ setup. Sorry for the winded post and thousand questions. Thanks for your help......

  11. I am not entirely sure about box dimensions and all. I want forward facing subs. I know 15's will work, but wonder if I could manage an 18. These are going in the bed of my truck with a fiberglass flat shell on top. I am pretty sure the depth of the bed of the truck is 20 or 21". Would I be able to build a box that will fit in this for 18's, or is it way to tight?

    I believe I will be running this amp at 1ohm to my dual 2 ohm sub. Will this sub handle what is said to be 1500w RMS from the SAZ (which I have heard is under rated)? I am not planning to pin the gain or anything, I just do not want to blow the sub.

    I was wondering if any one knows the true RMS rating for the Earthquake PHD5000, Kicker 1200.1, Massive audio P3000.1, AUTOTEK MM4000D, MA AUDIO HK802SX, Orion 2100, and Hifonics bxi2006d or Hifonics bxi1606d? I am just trying to figure out witch amps to go with when I run my stereo. If any has tested any of these amps please let me know. Also I would like to know if any one has ran one 12" BTL daily in a trunked car and had it metered to music? If so please post your scores on here along with pics of your installs or your car getting the score. Once I get mine I will let you know what it does with a bunch of different amps. Hopefully I will have it posted on here by next…

    So is a 3.9^3 box too big for a single Btl N2 12" on a Saz-2500? I know that the spec sheets say 1.75-2.5 cubed. It was professionally designed and the person who designed it says that it still falls within the thermal/mechanical specs for this sub, so they dont understand why i am questioning its size. I don't want to damage the sub with over excursion though, so any input would be great. Thanks!

    Hello Im building a box soon for a Fi BTL N2 15, and its going in a honda accord. But im tired of thinking that all the sound is in the trunk, so i was planning on removing the backseats, and build the box so the sub and the port would point forwards. (So the sub and port would be right behind where the seatback's should have been and the box inside the trunk. (kinda like this: What do you guys think? Would i get more sound pressure in the front seats this way? Or would it be better with the sub in the trunk and maybe port up the parcel shelf? Any ideas what would give me most pressure in the frontseats? Thanks alot

    Im currently using the RE Enclosure calculator (http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html) and after putting in the dimensions I can fit in my trunk and Im playing around with port size and what not and I was curious, the "tech" section on the Fi site says the recommended tuning is 33hz, I can only get my box to fit if I tune it around 34hz, is this an issue? would it be better to be lower than ideal if you cant get the ideal 33hz like 32hz instead... Or am I not even gonna notice? Also, again refering to the "tech" section, for the 10s it recommends 15 square inches of vent per cubic foot of air space, is it a major issue if I can only work around 12 square …
