Fi Technical

Was wondering when Fi will have them posted here. Also, does anyone have any for 1 15" BTL @ about 3.5cf with a slot port?

I am toying with the idea of putting 2 12" SSDs in a ported box. My original plan was to seal them, but I don't know what kind of output I would get. Could someone help me design a ported box for these subs? I am totally new to ported boxes so I don't know where to start. I'd like to maintain as much SQ as possible and gain as much output as possible. Dimension wise, my trunk could accomodate a box 39" across and 17" high. Depth is negotiable, depending on the size of box needed. Thanks in advance for the help.

Anyone or ficaraudio, could sketch me a rough design for a single 15" Fi Q w/out bp power, d2 off a 1200watt @ 1ohm Vented enclosure Here is what i got to play with, for space *truck* 35" Width 20" Height 17" Depth Open to whatever tune, i want it to be low/loud but sounds good at the same time. Listen to rap/reggae mostly. Gonna use .75" MDF Thanks in advance! I wanna get started building my enclosure. Currently using reaudio box design software on their site...

If anyone has tried this could you tell me what you think of it? I'm trying to build a wall that is all funky shaped. Trying to smash 4 18's into a Ford Explorer. found this program but would just like to know if anyone else has used and what you think of it. The bottom is 37" deep x 52" wide then go to 33" deep x 18.5 " high. Top is 33" deep x 52" wide 18.5" high Grand total of 37" tall x 52" wide and the depth. Trying to utilize every bit of room I can so I can still have room for batteries and amps. Plus the ports gotta go in there to. Any help on any other programs or any ideas would be appreciated. Got it drawn out on paper. Kinda to scale it down to where it will …

for 15" btl fully loaded. i cant get my comp. to take a screen shot, but the dims are... 4.1^3 45^2 inches of port ~33 hz going to be double baffled. but i have a Q, how far away from the back wall does the motor need to be, sine btls dont have a pole vent, i wouldnt thik it would matter as long as it isnt touching, am i correct?

Hi, I have bought 2 Fi BL's and I am in need of some advice for a good box for it. It will be going into a 2010 Dodge Charger and the space I am working with is 18" H, 32"W, and 32"L. I would like to tune the box to around 33 HZ. I will also be hooking this up to a Hifonics 2000 for right now...hope to move to the sae 1200d later on. Any comments on dimensions for a box and port would be greatly appreciated. Also an idea of where to point the subs and port to get a decent bout loud sound. Thanks!

I have a 04 Ford Expedition, i have built a enclosure behind the 3rd row seat, what i have is 2.46 cu ft, I would prefer a sealed enclosure, I know this is large for sealed, but i can shrink it if needed, my question is: should i go smaller ? It is powered by a Crossfire VR 1000d, I listen to mostly music like: Slayer, Exodus, I also listen to alot of classic rock, metal, punk, etc...ever so often I will play a few bass cd's I have from the days I did dB Drag shows. Thank you for your help.

I got a baffel cut for my 12" box so I could convert it to accept my BL 10", I have a box uilt to spec for the BL only its for 2 BL's. I have not got around to ordering the 2nd (money) so I had to put it in something else until I get the second. My dual box is common chamber, so I cant run it that way without the other sub. So, I put the BL in the 2.15 cuft box powered by my 9.1, 1200 rms, its very loud and low, only, I know its not good for the sub to be in a box thats too big. I hear it will make the sub super efficient (spelling) , I am thinking to add some MDF to the box to shrink it down or run the sub at 4 ohms (450 rms) until I can get the 2nd one for the dual inst…

i have a 15" btl fully loaded. i want to compete in bassrace and maybe just for spl burps wise. i have about 5 cubes to work with. i kind of want the box to move alot of air for shirt tricks and hair tricks. is it possible to get high numbers with the two i want to compete in and still move alot of air like others do with this sub. just curious

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.

I just bought two 15 fi Q's with BP and a aq2200 to power them at one ohm. Running 0ga and doing the big three also plan on another battery and a HO alt soon. My question is with the box setup,its my first time buliding one and would like to do it right. The max demensions are H 16 W 42 L 28,.(ported) i was thinking around 32 or 33 hz.. But i could be wrong? i want the lows and alot of bass but sound good aswell. my other question is should i put a divider and run a port for each sub or have them both to one port? Any input is helpfull thanks

Hey guys, im from maximum threshold, my team captain has been waiting for a reply from scott about recones for my MT that we need for db drag world finals. Is there any way one of you can speed up the process a bit or maybe we can talk to another one of ya about it? We are in dire need of the recones and our trip to finals depends on it. Its a dual 1.4 ohm recone for an MT. Scott will know what im talking about as he's been emailing back and forth with Peter for a while, but as of late the emails have stopped. Thanks for any help you guys can give us. Don Doyle Team Maximum Threshold

Does anyone have the specifications for the last model of the Q 18? I no longer have my saved WinISD profile, so that would work as well. Thanks!

I was interested in the AA Carbon fiber mids. will they fit in a 6x8 space? Do they have an adapter ring. Plus do they come with a passive crossover and tweets... Right now I have the Pioneer 720PRS components which are pretty nice and have been reviewed very well. Have you heard them? If so how do they compare? And prices.. or local dealer to 11703? Thanks. Mike I tried to send this PM but it wouldnt let me

well I have a single BTL18 now and was wondering the smallest box that 2 could fit in or if I might want to look at 2 15's. I have 36X30 for a box now and wondering how tall I would need to make it to fit either 1 more 18 or 2 15's also would like the tuneing around 35. If someone can help with this it would shure help. Thanks

Need help with box specs and design for an 18btl. It will be going into a 2002 jeep grand cherokee. The space that I have available is 40x23x16 (w,d,h). I want the box to be tuned to @30hz. Sub will be powered by a planet audio bb2400.1 I would like the sub to be facing up with port firing back. Any input that you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I finally ordered knukonceptz wiring today, and it should be here within a few days, and i'm planning on making one last trip to the hardware store. I was planning on screwing the sub in, but i really dont want to anymore because 1. not sure if it will be sufficient and 2. the image of silver bolts coming out the sides of the black sub seems badass So what size (diameter) bolts should i ask for? The hole is 3/16, but do they make a bolt that size? Thanks for reading, Mitch o btw, the sub is 18 bl, doubt it matters though.

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?

Hey im new to the forum and new to Fi. I have been looking around to put a new system in my car and decided on Fi. I plan on purchasing 2 10' SSD with the copper coil and i was wondering if yall had any suggestions on an amp. I was looking at A planet audio RXD-1400 that puts out about 1400 rms and 1900 peak but i wasnt sure. Any help would be great thanks.

Hello everyone well I just orded 4 Q15s dual 1 ohm and bp power the box im building will have 2 seperate chambers, with 2 subs per chamber, with about 5 cuft per chamber,is that enough space?this is a sealed box. Also i will be using 3/4 inch MDF board to build the box, I will be putting double layers on the baffles, should I double layer all the other sides of the box or should I just brace inside to the single layers? thank you .................Brian

Ok, I give up. I need some more direction in building a ported enclosure for my Q10. Right now, it has about .5ft^3 in a sealed enclosure and I really love the way it sounds, I would just like it a little louder (or alot haha.) But anyway, this is in an extended cab S10. I have to admit, its alittle underpowered with my Sundown sae-1000d because it wired at 2ohms. So it gets about 600rms. Any ideas? I would like to use tube for my ports if possible, not really a fan of slot ports, but i'm open to anything. Thanks, Mike B.

first off i have an 18" fi q with the bp power option and a hifonics 1610d amp. its in a focus, and it will b in a 7 cubic foot box hopefully, but my question is that i want to use pvc ports instead of the normal slot port, i used the winisd program, but either im an idiot, or its really hard to use. i put in my t-s parameters for the q and then i set it to 7 cubic feet and put the tuning at 28 hz. then i changed the porting to round and put in that i wanted to use 2 4" ports. it says they need to be 9.25" each. is there nebody out there that can check that for me to make sure its correct? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx.

Ok guys heres the situation. I ordered a BL 15 with cooling and flat wind dual 2 ohm. I'm building a box myself and having trouble on what to do with the port. The box is planned at 3.76 ft^3 with the woofer displacement added in. Its recommended to have 12-16 sq in of port per cube so i need anywhere from 45-60 sq in of port. I want to just maybe slap a 3x6 aero port or maybe a 4x6 aero port. The 3x6 is 42 sq in and the 4x6 is 75. Both not in the range i need. Also looked on amazon and found precision ports 3 in and a 4 in round. Doesn't say the length on them tho . Reviews say there adjustable somehow. Help would be appreciated. Also wanted some recommendations on ampl…

ok i order a 15" fi btl fully loaded with a dual 2 ohm. i have been researching a lil bit and im confused.... i will be using a sundown audio saz2000d for this sub how do i wire the subto my amp ??? should i have order it dual 1 ohm?? im confused///

I sent my sub off about a week ago to yall to have it reconed i was just checking the were abouts on it. . . i sent it to the address on the fi website. . . just tell me if yall have received it yet.? Thanks, Charles
