Love it. You guys are awsome. So do my SSD's have the plain slug on the left?

Plexi won't scratch as easlily as the Lexan will Its harder. Lexan is more flexible , which helps with its bullet resistance.

I have used 2 different ported boxes and 1 sealed. I personally hated the sealed. if you like some boom, i would go with FI's recomended specs. I listen to rock with lots of double bass and i can't stand muddy. So a slightly undersized and tuned higher box is what I am using now.

SSD will do it, I have about 1100 on each of mine. I personally wish I moved up to the Q series.

I have a module - they work great, My module is doing 14.9V-15.1V . For specifics as far as the "will it damage my car" I think that is coverd on missing links site missing link audio Chris is the guy to talk to. I haven't heard much from him lately. I think my module had been in for about a year now. I also have the charging optioned module to charge slow charge the battery from the wall. Really smart guys.

you can do 15's. Just barely but they fit. You should have 15.5" available in box height. I have an '89 thunderbird and have been though about 6 boxes. If you angle the front of the box that will give you more height to the baffle to mount the speakers. Either way. I have (2) 12ssd's, I have run them sealed ( 1.6 cu ft each) hated it. Ran the ported at 2.25 cu. ft. each tuned to 33hz and it was pretty darn lund but a little too muddy for the rock i listen to with a lot of double bass drum. I now have another ported box with 1.75 cu. ft. per woofer ported through the rear deck tuned to about 39 hz and it pounds the rock. it has a ton of impact. It doesn't play a tone as well as the large ported box. I have removed my trunk carpet so i have been able to (outside dimensions) 39" side to side and 15.5" tall. The front to back depends on how much box you need. For a wedge shaped box I have found that 25 degrees matches the slope of the rear seat OR if you make the top dimension 6.5" shorter than the bottom diimesion it will be darn close. i am not a pro at boxes but i can certainly help you with the bird specifics, i have had mine for about 12 years. here is the old ported box new smaller ported box unfinshed

sqjeep, from my earlier post , i use to have a ported box and it was a little sloppy IMO. It played rap and tones awesome. I rebuilt it and went to a 1.3 per speaker sealed box and lost a ton of output. I knew it would but it's not really what I expected. It's really tight and sounds nice but it has little output IMO for having a rated 1000W on each woofers. I am having to beat the amps up to get the output i was hoping for. I listen to rock music with double bass drum so I had a shop model my old ported box for me, my current sealed box , and a smaller, higher tuned ported box. It COULD be my answer but i won't know until I try it. I don't listen to rap and rarely play tones. this new box is 1.75 per woofer tuned to 39 hz.

I have only the copper coil upgrade and i thought i was good to about 900w to 1200w if im careful. Playing rock, I will probably be fine, if I bass raced probably not.

i like mine. I have only put 500w on mine so far, i am building for 1000w now the reviews on 1000w read well but i haven't tried it myself. 4 of them on 4000w should be awesome. I went with the 12 instead of the 15 because becuase i thought it might be "faster" for my rock music

they are pretty stout speakers. They weight almost 25Lbs each the SSD's are not joke.

According to Scott, they are in #108 now. Had a different UPS driver that day. . . yeah - I know, and UPS billed be for being stupid.

mine were 12's

oh - man they were fast. I think after they finally got it I had it in my hands in 3 days. Even with the UPS blackhole it was in for a day or so I think it was 5 days total. BUT... mine was JUST a recone. Only soft parts. I bet your is a different deal than I had and I am only 6 hours away from them.

We listen to similar it souund like. Pantera, Atreyu, 5 finger death Punch. The ported just didn't do it for me. I would do a 311 really well but not fast, tight, bass drum. They newer metallica was junk in it.

I didn't know until I tracked it. I did catch their normal delivery guy while he was on vacation but I don't think FI is in some special place that someone with half a brain couldn't find.

I don't know what you listen to but have a pair of them ported and I just scrapped it to go sealed. My ported was about 4 cu. ft. not including the port. I had a little over 5 cu. ft total. It's a pretty good sized box. I listen to rock and it was a little to muddy for me. It played a tone really well and rap music really well. I just built a 1.2 sealed and its going in in a week or so. We will see how I like that.

I used that address for my recones (same as Nick gave me by the way) and UPS are a bunch of idiots and couldn't find it , UPS added Suite 107 to the address and sent me a supplemental bill for $8 because they suck. FYI

looking for opinions. I think I like it and the wife likes it. what do you guys think? A special dust cap.

GOT THEM BACK Ice Blue cap -which is a vinyl logo this time, my first logo was screened on the cap. some fancy new tinsel leads boy the suspension sure is stiff when its fresh.

Scotts aware of it. But we will see when it delivers. I had the address correct. I think it got on the wrong truck. Who knows. UPS = "it's not my package" I hope they get it soon. thanks

thanks nick. I got a responce from Scott also. The address above was typo I had the zip correct. Scott said you guys have 5 suites in that building and they should have been able to figure it out. My thought is, and its happened to me before, UPS loaded it on the wrong truck and that driver didn't want to go out of his route to deliver it. SO they basicly lie on the tracking. I have a neighbor who is our UPS driver for my house and it happened on an amp delivery to me.

hey Nick incase you don't see my e-mail, if you have some magical way to get a hold of Scott can you please. I sent him a PM but I bet he gets a ton of them. UPS couldn't deliver my recones to that address you gave me. I got that address from you and someone else and they matched so I doubt its the address, So maybe UPS is screwed, I don't know. Here is what is in my tracking 5480 Cameron St. #108 Las Vegas , NV 891118 LAS VEGAS, NV, US 03/20/2009 6:08 P.M. THE RECEIVER HAS MOVED. UPS ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE RECEIVER TO COMPLETE DELIVERY, NO DELIVERY WAS MADE / A POSTCARD HAS BEEN SENT TO THE RECIPIENT REQUESTING THAT THEY CONTACT UPS. 03/20/2009 11:04 A.M. THE RECEIVER HAS MOVED. UPS ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE RECEIVER TO COMPLETE DELIVERY, NO DELIVERY WAS MADE can you help me out?

I have seen that pic but its so fuzzy. It was kind of an educated guess

hey, there he is. Whats not silly loud ? just a ball park. Are you running 1 or 2 and how much power on each. I am not looking crazy loud. IF I metered i'd like to see a 145db or so. I had 143db ported with my JL's ported on ONE of the Studio amps at 6 ohms mono nick have you see nthe Ice Blue dust caps in person? are the close to my birds color? Thats what I orded for the recone

ported purely for volume? I am going for the most control and tight I can get. Also my Zapco has a nice dampedning factor
