    I was wondering if 140in of port is to small for 2 of the Bl 18's? When I build my box the port would be 20h x 7w x 12d that would be 32hz. The box would be 40h x53w x14d. Should they be tuned lower or higher? Thanx Jason

    I scored 2 15"q's of ebay for 405$ So im in the process of designing a new box for them. My box total after speaker and bracing displacement is 11.488cuft. So i need about 137-183 inches of port area. I was thinking a 9inx20in port 25.84 inches long for 30hz. That would leave me 8.798cuft after all displacement with 180 inches of port area. Does this sound good? If not what would you reccomend?

    Ok, I am used to building the everyday run of the mill square sealed boxes. I have a 4 door truck with the 60/40 split seat, which I will be removing the 40 section and building a box with an upward firing sub...but I am thinking of porting this one. My question is, can I run ports out of PVC that sit about 2" inside the box and run external under the other part of the seat? Trying to think of some options to possibly install a 15" BL instead of a 12. And the volume of the pvc pipe should be equivalent to the total recommended port in the BL specs correct?

    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.

    Can someone tell me if this port size is right for what I want. Box size is 12.91 cubes after subs and port displacement. the port size is 23hx7wx14.56d = 32Hz. Is this right? 2-18'' Q's will be used in this box. Looking for it to hit really hard and will this box hit loud and hard? the subs will see about 6.45 cubes each. Is this box good for the Q's to hit really hard in?ready to build today....

    well i started my box today for my 15" btl fully loaded, and i almost finished it (i had to work 1-9 today) my sub is going to be facing forward, and im kind of worried that the basket might break, or that it may mess the box up. i didnt double baffle it today, but tomorrow i am going to, im more worried that when i hit bumps and stuff the sub will torque the box and break the screws. also, is there a way to build a support for the motor, i was thinking just building a half circle out of mdt to fit under it with some sort of support to hold it up...

  16. http://imgur.com/a/lNcLR#0 i have two sets of images its this album. a 33hz tune and a 36hz tune. i intend to build the entire box minus one side (leaving it to be held on by only screws) and change out the port as i test the subs volume. once i have things set ill glue on the final side. i would greatly appreciate it if someone would check my math and offer and criticism on what i have laid out here. thank you very much.

    I don't compete and would like a SQ/LOUD SOUND QUALITY setup and am having the hardest time designing a box to use. Obviously Fi recommends a sealed enclosure and that's what I was going to do originally until I started playing around in WinISD. Now I'm completely unsure so I figured I'd ask you guys. How do you guys think a 12" Fi Q would sound in a 2.3 cu ft enclosure tuned to 24-25hz as opposed to a 1.3 cu ft sealed enclosure? I can't upload the WinISD output on my current connection but I will after midnight when I get home.

    I notice that on the Fi website that u have options that u can add to your sub before purchase. What does these options mean? Flatwind coil? Copper Coil? and BP Power? Can i purchase this sub without this stuff. If i dont then how will the sub perform in daily uses? Oh yea, is there a big difference in hard hitting bass with the SSD 15 and the Q 15? Thanks.
