questions: what do i do to get my 15 reconed? how much will it cost? and would it be kinda cheap?

I'm getting ready to build a box for a ssd18 copper coil. It's going to be in a 1999 yukon and I was wondering what would be the best specs and port design and placement for optimum bass response. I love the really deep bass, but don't want to lose too much sound quality( some is o.k though). Any help would definately be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody that helps me out ahead of time.

Ok i'm going to be building a box for a Bl 15 4.0^3ft @32hz. And I was wondering where would be the best place to mount the speaker in the box. Its going to be a slot ported box. Should i have it closer to the edge of the port or the other end of the enclosure? What about the top? I hope this isnt to confusing. I just want to know if there is an optimal position for the sub on the box.

I am curious how much of a difference there is between a 2ft^3 and a 2.5ft^3 box tuned to 32hz for a 12" Q. I've read that bigger is better for ported boxes, but 2ft^3 boxes tuned to 32hz are readily available on e-bay. Would I be giving up a lot of output or response for the convenience of an easily available box, or would this be a good buy? If it matters the Q will be powered by a 1000 watt MB Quart raa1000, and going in a 93 Saturn coupe.

Hi. I just purchased two 15" Fi BL's and im looking for a ported box that would meet the desired dimensions for the subs. Can anyone help me out and point me in the direction of a box i can buy. Thanks

Ok in 2007 i bought 2 fully loaded 18bls. and had them in my 95 deville. but now i have a 03 and the trunk is a little smaller. right i just have one in with a 6. 75 ft3 box tuned to 32hz. well my other one is just sitting in my room wanting to be build. Ive blown both of them but reconed one couple months ago. but i want to put both in my 03 .the max size in my trunk is 41x40x15. if i keep it at 32 hz the ft3 will be 7.55, i know many will say that would be way small for 2 18s but i already got might as well just make a new box and put it in. My question is would both of my 18s at 7.55 ft3 be louder then just one at 6.75 ft3?

I have a box design in mind (i just need a car to see if it will fit or not) which has two either 15 or 18 inch (depending on available room) BTL's or BL's. I am not sure though if these subs are designed to be able to share a box together. I was originally going to run just a single BTL 18" in a 7 or 7.5 cu/ft box, but i wanted a more good looking design, so, as an example, are you able to run two BTL's in a box of volume 14-16 cu/ft? Or the equivalent volume of the BL's? I'll try to draw what i want it to look like on a CAD program or something, but i would like to know if it possible first before i start buying materials. Thanks

ok here's what i got...99 mustang rear seat delete wanna do a bl 15 d1 sub up port back in a 4.36cf box@33hz(that's internal)...i was told on here that fi's specs for cf are after speaker displacement...internal dimesions for box are 15x15x33.5...as for the port i got 4x15x25.66....does this sound cool...btw that 4.36cf is before port/bracing deplacement..as i stated earlier i was told that the fi specs for speaker displacement are already included....if someone can confirm that this is all good i would greatly appreciate it

would a tline work for my bl 10 ive always wanted to try one

I want to get a a pair of Fi ssd 15's and i am building a custom sealed enclosure for them, fi suggests between 1.5 and 2.5 cu ft per woofer, does this mean that 2 feet would be the ideal? this is my first time designing my own encosure and i would like to have the optimum internal space. would a 2.5 ft^3 make them hit any deeper or will they sound better with 2ft^3 (these volumes are AFTER displacement of course) i am really going for a sq build here please do not try to talk me up to the Q,, i am sticking with ssd's with the bp power upgrade the standard coils that being said i would love to be able to hit the low note in "put on" with this setup i am not incredibly…

I see pictures of raw boxes with Fi 15s and up in them and they all have double thick (looks like) 3/4 inch mdf. So is this really necessary? And if it is, what about the sides, do they need to be doubled to? Also whats the best type of bracing to use?

I originally bought a FI Q 12" dual 1 hoping to run it with a JL 1000.1v2 so I didn't really think much or care if it was dual 1 or dual 2. Unfortunately for my plan the 1000.1 would not of fit due to space restraints where I planned to mount it in my car. I instead went with a Sundown Audio SAX 1200Dv2 running the 12" Q @2ohm with ~700 watts. I find that the bass is adequate but when I look at the cone I can tell the excursion is not what it could be since im running it underpowered. Im wondering if I should sell the dual 1 I currently own and instead buy a dual 2 and run it at ~1200. What amount of DB sound difference would I be looking at? How much am I losing out exac…

just want to know if you have authorized dealer in philippines. interested in bl or q and with upgrades. i will be using sundown SAZ-1500D

Hey guys, i am looking for a box design and was hoping one of ya could help me out. Its for 2 18" BL's powered off one rf t3000 going in a tahoe. I would like the dimensions no bigger than 28x48x22 if possible for daily driving tuned around 32hz subs up port back. I really dont trust myself designing one, but i guess thats one way to learn. Any help is appreciated.

what do i need to change on my cut list to have my box tune to 32hz? Tthis box is tune for 28 hz

hey guys need to know what kind of amp should i get for my fi btl 12 fully loaded at dual2... whats the max i can go with rms for this bad boy..its 2krms on the home page but it says that for every btl...can someone please help me...please

hey all. i want as big of a sub as possible but the only problem is that i will have only 16.5" of height in my trunk. thats means if i get a bl 15 my sub will be very close to touching the wood (height wise) in my subwoofer encloser. is it bad if the sub doesnt have a lot of clearance height wise in its encloser or does that only apply sideways in corelation to the port. just wondering if i should be ok soundwise with a tight box or will i sacrifise sound quality by doing this and just stick to getting a bl12. thx -phil

I've gone through almost 20 pages of this forum and still not sure exactly how I should build a box. I've got a general idea, done some research, but I'm hearing/reading different things. I plan on purchasing a fully loaded 18" BTL very soon, but want to get the box out of the way first. My max dimensions I'm working with are, 39" Wide, 20" height, and 24" depth. I want it to be sub up, port back. This is going in the rear of a Nissan Pathfinder. I'm also wanting to get it tuned to around 32-33hz, that's where I'm having trouble. After sub displacement, and a port tuned to that frequency, how much cubic feet would the box be if it was built to those max specs? Just from a…

I was wondering if anyone know the spec sheet to this enclosure at 2.5ft^3 32hz. 3-D diagrams don't hurt =D

i have a 10" ssd on order and am going to get started on a box was just wondering if someone cd look over my design. its a truck box its 35" wide 14.5" tall and has a 5"/9" angle / wedge. im using a 3" psp aero port that will be 17" long. running about 750 wrms. does this sound good? thanks brandon

i was wondering how much a 12btl, 15btl, and a 15Q weighed thanks in advance

My personal car is a 1991 Honda Prelude and I've been dreaming up ways of upgrading the system from its rather small old rockford p2 set up(old school black and red coned rockford p2s). The car is small, the trunk is even smaller, comparable to a mustang trunk. The trunk opening is much like a mustang, opens like a lid with rather small clearances. I'm thinking of putting a dual BL 12" set up in it, building the box inside the trunk to achieve hopefully around 4 square feet. The rear seats are gone, so there is an opening to the trunk, would it sound good to place the port in that opening? I know not to cover a port but I've never heard anything rather direction or place…

Does anyone happen to know the magnet diameter on the older style Q10? I'm working on a new enclosure and have some very odd space constraints. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks in advance, Mike B.
