  1. Started by latorgator,

    I just got 2 more 15 fi btl to put in a 91 blazer. The box I am going to build will be 38" wide 31" deep and 20" tall. I want both subs facing straight up with the port also straight up. I was wondering how big I should make my port. I am looking to get around the 32 hz mark. Also I will be bracing with 1 1/4 inch wood dowels and will be using 3/4 inch mdf.

    Can a BL 15 with flatwind coil, and p. chamfer take 1000 watts or so rms for an hour or so at a time, and 1700 watts rms for spl burps? Or does the sub need the cooling option? In 3 ft3 enclosure tuned to 48hz.

    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.

    What size ports are you guys using for your Q's? I'm building a custom fiberglass enclosure for my standard cab and i need some info on what people saw was the best result. I will be using round ports. To sum it up, what size diameter,length port do i need to not have port noise and have excellent sound. I was going to build it exactly to 2.5 cuft with displacement and port. Should i make the enclosure smaller? what are peoples views on this-Thanks

    What would be good for getting the most volume out of my 10" Fi Q. I want it to go ported for some more output, and it'll be running off of a MD1D at 1 ohm (1200 rms). Thanks a bunch

  11. 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!

    when people talk about tuning their ports to 33HZ and stuff is that based on the size of the port. Also could i run 2 12" SSD subs on a hifonics amp putttin out 1500RMS or should i get one that puts out 2000RMS.

    I just ordered my 12" Fi Q (w/ bp option) and i could never be more excited for it to come. I'm upgrading from a JL Audio 13TW5, mainly for loudness issues. I have a couple questions however... 1. Will the Q be much louder than the JL? The JL is running 500watts @ 4 now off a Kenwood 9104D amp. The Q will run off the same amp for now, getting 900watts at 2ohms. I'm upgrading cause the JL is shallow, only 13mm excursion and barely moves any air... And I loveeeee SQ subs, but also want pretty loud... 2. Now before you bash on me and tell me I should have gotten a BL instead, I must state that i drive a scion tc, with an open hatch area, which is where the sub will be sittin…

My box is very small for these subs and I drive a big car (Crown Vic) so I know a new box is a good idea. My current box dimensions are 48" Width 17" Height 17" Depth, measured OD......Port is 4.5" wide divided with .5" 15" deep 15" height, measured ID. This car is CLEAN CLEAN so with that in mind I don't want to go tearing it apart...totally. I dont mind ripping out the metal behind the seat or cutting the rear deck. Here is my goal: I want this system to BANG and does already but my trunk sounds…
