  1. Im considering on buying one of these head units and would like to know if you guys have any opinion on which one you think is better. In terms of sound quality, functionality, features, ipod use

    I would still like some figures would a 1.8 ft.^3 or a 2.5 ft.^3 or some where in between the two and tuned to 32hz higher or lower
  6. the port should be 12 in.^2 per ft.^3 so that would be 60 in.^2 for a 5 ft.^3 enclosure tuned to 35hz
  7. I've seen that page already, i'm looking for numbers that i cant work with i've heard that 4.5ft.^3 @ 34hz should sound loud be i'm looking for more opinions on what you guys think is a good spl enclosure for a 15 L7
  8. I currently have my 15 L7 mounted in a 1.5ft.^3 sealed enclosure powered by a RF Power 1001db 1000watts @ 2ohm in my brothers semi truck it's a international 9400i with a bunk bed sleeper, it has mb quarts 6.5 components up front and 5.25 coaxial in the rear powered by a zapco ag360 with a clarion dxz 575 head unit. My goal is to get real loud and maybe enter competition in the future and upgrading to two L7's or even 2 fi 15 bl's and space is not problem. i listen ti wide range of music but mostly reggae, hip-hop, r&b, rap, pop, and some classics, its my first time building a ported box but i have experience in building sealed, so it would helpful if you guys could help me out with the enclosure volume turned to what frequency with the port area and should the sub displacement be subtracted from the volume or is it included. Sub facing up or forward and should the port be facing in the same direction, do i need to brace the enclosure, Thanks guys!!!!

    I would say ported since you threw loud in there, what are the max dimensions you have to work with (height x width x depth). About 36w x 15d x 24h i would think, i dont want to take up all the space, what fz in how many ft^3 and what port area Speaker facing up or back and should the port be facing in the same direction as the speaker Ported box: 1.8-2.5 cuft @ 28-33Hz. As with what direction to face the sub and port, its all guess and check. Could you be more specific, it's my first time building a ported box and does it needs to be braced using a 1" face board an 3/4" for the rest of the enclosure.

    Bought a new Fi Q 12 and i was wondering if you guys could help me out with the enclosure, i have a hatchback its a golf with Cdt es-520 with upstage up front and cl-61a in the rear powered by a Directed 1100d5 and strapped to 600d for 1200watts @ 2ohm for the sub. i listen to wide range of music but mostly reggae, hip-hop, r&b, rap, pop, and some classics. My goal is sound quality but i would also like it to be loud at the same time without sacrificing sound quality and with that said would a sealed or ported enclosure best suit my hatchback. Thanks guys!!!

    Any one think there is a better quality and sounding sub out there for the price.
  15. rap, hip-hop, r&b, reggae mosty, its hooked up to a lanzar mx252 now but im planing to upgrade to a rockford fosgate power 1001bd one of the older ones that is 2ohm rated because its a dvc 4ohm L7
  16. Its a hatch back, vw golf, and i wold like it to get loud
  17. What size enclosure would best suit a 15 L7 for spl and tuned to what frequency
  18. ipod i would like to play cds thought
  19. Thinking about upgrading my head unit to something that is ipod friendly with good sound quality and high pre-amp volts. Eclipse Cd 5030, Jvc Kdr 900, Clarion Dxz 785 are some of my choices, my brother say i cant go wrong with the eclipse, suggestions and opinions will help very much. Thanks alot!!!!!
  20. I have a Soundstream Reference 500sx rated at 500 watts in 1ohm & 2ohm, is there a difference in sound quality in the different load and what about subs, does it make a difference in sound quality if you have a dual 1ohm or a dual 4ohm sub wired at 2ohm load are there any differences in sound quality.
  21. Im going to upgrade my amps with a Soundstream Reference 500sx for the sub and a Zapco Ag 360 for the components. Considering to upgrade to a single 10 or 12 for now in a sealed enclosure(i can make myself), looking for sound quality, something that makes your chest rumble at the same time. $300 shipped is my budget Rli-10, Rlp-12, 10w3v3, 12w3v3, IDQ 10 & 12, Re sex 10 &12, Fiq 10 & 12, Icon 10 & 12 these some subs had in mind. And do you think a sealed enclosure would match the type of car i have, any suggestions and opinions will help very much. Thanks alot!!!!
  22. Are Reaudio se or sx any good.
  23. I currently use a Lanzar Mxa252 2channel amp to run the dual 4ohm 15"l7 in a 1.5 cu ft. sealed enclosure. Looking for a amp to run the L7 1000rms@2ohm under $300 shipped, Soundstream Picasso PCX1500D for $287 on ebay or HIFONICS BRUTUS BXi1610D for $232 on ebay both are 1100@2ohm. Any other options would help.
