    My girlfriend has a Sundown SAE-1200D and wants a single 18 that'll pound in 4 cubes sealed. She prefers the sound a sealed setups. These are the ones that caught her eye.

    Right now I have an Icon 15 in 3.5 cubes tuned to 34hz being powered by a JBL GTO 1200.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms. What I'm thinking of trying is a sealed 18 in 4 cubes and powering it with a Sundown SAE-1200D. It's just a thought. I have had sealed setups and liked them before and never tried an 18 before. So far I'm looking at either a Fi Q 18 or SS RL-p 18.

    ok I'm planning my next system right now. (last one got stolen) I'm thinkin 2 RE SR10's ported going under the back seat of my '02 Ext. cab silverado. Realizing there is almost no room back there I figure the best plan would be to build two different enclosures for each side. Doing so would give me about 0.88 ft.^3 per sub after sub displacement. But to make these vented I'm thinking could make external ports over the transmission hump. Does this seem like a bad idea?

    Hey everybody, Currently Ive got a Image Dynamics ID12v.3 in a 1cuft sealed enclosure powered by and Alpine M500 in my Subaru Impreza. I find myself wanting just bit more impact. Im curious about an IXL 10 in a sealed enclosure... What do you guys think? Could it do it? What kind of power would be needed? 1000watts? Will more power but less cone and less XMAX be able to do it? Anyway just looking for experience and opinions on this. Thanks!

  9. There seems to be a lot of misconception about an infinite baffle, so here goes my stab at it with a link to a forum that has a lot of dedication and experience to them. What I have gathered: A baffle is a board a speaker driver is mounted to. When a speaker is not attatched to anything, and the front and rear wave are completely allowed to go around the driver and are not in any way isolated or coupled, it is free air. When it is on a baffle, the sound waves are forced to travel further to intersect. The smaller the baffle, the higher waves (upper frequencies) are no longer cancelling out as the baffle separates them. As we increase the baffle size, the longer it gets, …

    Hello, I've been planning an in-car IB set up for about 3 months now, I finally ordered and received a Fi IB3 18 a little while back. It's going to be hard to get an 18.5" diameter in a trunk opening to the cabin... but I'm creative. I need a bunch of pics and vids for some inspiration and some ideas... please help! Thanks in advance. Krypto

    Well, I thought I had my mind made up on (2) AQ HDC315-As. But now I'm seriously looking at a pair of DC LV4XLs (15s) Customer service is definately a big factor and they both seem to have it from what I have read & by talking to the owners. Then they both are very close to price & can both take comparable power (I believe). These would be used for daily & VERY FEW comps. I do know it is mostly installment that determines which will sound better so I guess that's not what I'm asking. Just which do you guys suggest? These would either be powered by (2) AQ2200Ds, or a single SAZ-3000D (also very close in price, it just mainly depends if the sale is still g…

    Well I have 2 Alpine Type R's in 2.2CF @36Hz each seperate enclosures with a Hifonics Brutus 1600 and I am thinking about making a smaller setup with equal or better sound level, what do you think would sound better the Alpine's or a single FI BTL12? would it be as clear? I am planning on tuning it to the same Hz cuz I like that tuning, what do you think would it be as good or better? I plan on upping the power to the Brutus 2600 soon if I go the BTL. Any ideas? Thanks, Oh yeah this is in a crew cab Duramax Chevy truck if it matters. I am still a noob at this stuff, this was my first build with the Alpines.

    Aight. So I am looking over the course of the next year to find my dream sub. I'm not dissatisfied, I will just be upgrading. Now I have been looking around and there are so many options, and there are so many subs I do not know about. Anyway... details... -15" sub... budget of ~500-600 dollars -NOT an SPL sub, but I want it to handle around 3000-3500 watts all day -Fs under 30 hz (low resonance) -Xmax of 25+mm (above average excursion) -Good motor strength (average-above average) -Good mech. handling (I'll put in as big a box as I can) -It'll be ported for sure. Probably tuned around 28-30 hz. Now a fully loaded BTL w/ everything is 470 shipped. I figured my budget is…

    I could get my hands on a pair, 3, or 4 RE SE's rated 600, but we all know RE can take the extra power so they had 1200 on them. Hes letting them go cheap, should I cash in on them, or get what I was planning on doing 15" Fi BL.
