    I just got my bl's today and had my local shop make a box . The dimension's are 4.5 cuft 43=wide 19=deep 15=height port is 4=wide 12=height and he said its tuned to 32 htz. does that sound right? I am currently running a kicker zx 1500.1 to them, my question is, do i need to let them break in or can i pound on them? I know im way under power, but im not sure.Any and all replies are greatly appreciated.

    If someone could show me a cut sheet for 2 12" Fi BL's it'd be perfect. I took a look at the single 12" cut sheet but I would like one for 2, just so I'm sure on the demensions and what not. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to building enclosure's so help would be appreciated!

    im trying to stay with an enclosure that is 3cf or less and trying to decide whats better, 2 12s sealed with 3000watts (buy a new sundown 3000 amp) or 1 12 ported with 1500 watts (keep my mtx 1501d)? if the sealed subs would be louder, how much louder? last option is 2 10s ported. looking for LSQ, basically the loudest set up i can get with the space available. appreciate the help!

  7. Hey all, I've got two 12" SSD's coming in the next few days and I decided to get a headstart on building my box. I've raped the search tool and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. If anyone has some spare time and wouldn't mind doing a fellow enthusiast a HUGE favor, it wouldn't go unnoticed. I'm hoping to get a cutsheet for 2 12" SSD's (ported) for my 2008 Mazda 6 sedan. Here's the preferred specifications. W: 42" (MAX) H: 16" (MAX) D1: 21" preferred D2: 16" preferred Tuned from 30-33hz I'm thinking it'd be cool to have the subs forward-firing at an angle with the seats. Then I could just mount my amp on the trunk side. The angle would take much more advantage o…

    hey guys, im gettin either 1 or 2 amps, here are my options, 1 of these bridged http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12212_...+BXi+2608D.html or 2 of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12210_...+BXi+1208D.html these are mono d class amps, now the bridging of the single amp is my concern, i ordered dual 1 of the BLs, would this diagram work? the subs are 1 ohm correct? so would this diagram still be somewhat valid? and if this does work, how would i design the box, because currently im planning to separate the chambers, unless one of you can direct me in the right way or i can jsut get the 2 smaller amps

    I was wondering if this box would be big enough for two 15" fi btls. The box is 38 length X 25 width X 23 height. After displacemnt of everything its around 7.5 cubes at 31hz. The port is 6 wide and 25.5 long. It would be for daily use and each ran a sundown 3000d. thanks for the help

    I am a noob set on getting 2 15" BTLs but I don't know if i should run them at 2 ohms or 1 ohm. The problem is that there are not many amps that support 2000 watts unless at 1 ohm. If there are any suggestions for an amp with adjustable subsonic filter, that can run @ 32hz+, for 2 15" 2000 watt rms subs, PLEASe let me know. Thanks

    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.

    assuming both are in 8^3 ft @ 32 hz with 3kw to split between them @ 2 ohms with equal installs. which ones would be louder? my main concern is, do these subwoofers basically take power the same way and just 1 gears it more towards an SQ aspect and the other a SPL aspect. or is basically just the power applied that will determine which is louder? i mean both are rated @ 1kw and the only thing that seperates them are the power options that apply to the thermal side of power handling. but mechanically, as far as power handling goes, are they the same? same stiffness spiders etc? i have been told by one guy that his 2 15" q's were louder off 1.2kw of power than his bl 15's t…

    I'm looking at picking up 2 SSD's (15"), the box will be roughly 7 - 7.5 cubes. I would like to find out what the optimal size for the port. Still deciding between slot and aero, might need some suggestions there. Let me know the dimensions of the port you would use for mainly SPL in a 7.5 cube box. Thanks!
