    Hello I have a jeep srt8 with two rockford fosgate 1500.1 bcd's and four rockford p3 15s in a custom box tuned to 35 hertz. I want louder now. I've been hearing alot about the fi subs. I wanna keep my amps but get four fighteens that will do great with my amps. Both amps comined will do 3900 watts rms. I've been looming at the fi bl line. They are rated at 1000 watts rms 2000 peak. So if I had four Of them they would be 4000 watts rms , I would only be shorting them 100 watts. My question is can these amps slam the bl pretty hard and can I use my same enclosures I have now with 12 cubic ft and , 6.1 per chamber for two subs on each side and tuned to 35 hz. Basically each…

    I ran 2 bl 18's off 2 sundown 1500d's for little over 2 years with no problems at all. Those bl's had cooling, flatwind, daily options. Now they offer to have a 4" coil for extra $50. This time I will be running either an aq or sundown 3500 on 2 18's. With the 3500d should I go ahead and get the 4" coil, Im pretty sure the 3" would be fine since I ran the others with no problems that long. thanks for suggestions

    Well,I just ordered a Q15 dual 1 ohm sub for my car. I had a 12w6v2 in a jl spec sealed box but after hearing the Q10 in a sealed boxed that I bought for my wife's car (hers goes lower and sounds better than my 12" ,just not as loud)I decided to go Fi also. I have a 06 Jetta and I wanted to run a sealed enclosure.I have lots of trunk space. I know that the spec sheet says 2-2.6 ft3 but is there anyone running larger and how does it sound. I want to focus on sq and very deep lows.

    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 just got rid of my suv and bought a car and I plan on putting my Q in my car but don't want to use the same box because it's just too big. Right now it's in 2.5 cubes at 32. I was thinking about going sealed for SQ but then again I want it to be loud enough for the sound to come from the trunk into the cabin of the car. I'm a low end feind, so I definitely want the lows. For a mixture of SQ and SPL while retaining some trunk space I was thinking 1.8cuft (FI recommended minimum) tuned low to like 28-30. How would this work compared to going sealed in 1.5 cubes?

    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

I am thinking about building my own box at 4 cubic ft. tuned at 32 or 33 hz, but i do not know how to correctly port a box. anyone that could help talk me through that would be appreciated. 2. An option i was thinking was facing sub forward but i didnt know with 17" depth if i would have enough space between the box and the magnet. (Mounting depth for Fi BL 15 is 8.250") Also if i faced it forwards my depth area would shrink …

    Ok right now I have the Q 15's and I've gotten used to them so I want to upgrade to the BL series. My question is, ok i want the same freqency response as the Q's have cause I like how they perform down low, but I need to know which options in the BL should I go with to have a good daily woofer? I was thinking of going with the cooling, flatwind, daily, and universal options because I am not looking to do any competing just some really bad street beating. But Im a little skeptical about the cooling option because it says that there is less metal in the motor thus making it a little weaker? So should I just go with p/chamfer, flatwind, daily, and universal because I dont w…

    I really need a ported enclosure design for a 15" FI ssd. since it is going into a pretty small trunk the sub will have to face upwards. other than that i have no clue on to which way to face the port, what size the box should be .....................if it helps my trunk is only about 15" tall, so my box really cant exceed like 14" tall, wheel well to wheel well cant exceed 30" and same for the depth. I would greatly appreciate a nice design for it.

The box is 2.5 cuft AFTER sub and port dislacement, tuned around 32-34hz (can't remember exactly off the top of my head) I have upgraded the BIG 3 with 1/0ga wire, ran conduit along the frame rail with 1/0ga to the amp. In my grand am I LOVED it, but now in the blazer it seems to be lacking... not sure what exactly, but it doesn't seem to rattle my noggin like it did in the grand am. My question is should I look at building another enclosure that would work better for the blazer? If so, how many cuft? tuned to? how should the sub and port face? Or is the blaz…
