just courious, when Fi was just starting... was it like in the garrage like RE started? Btw before it was called Resonant Engineering .... I remember it has some other name.

I recalled back in this forum someone said the Q was reviewed by CA&E. Anyone knows about the score or even better a copy of it. Also with the review of the mags. thanks Wynold

I would say with same box allignment the L7 will put a good fight. The Q was not actually built for high SPL capabilities.

at least he's smilling

BL 18 with 7 cubes. Get loooooow on them

errmm.... the only thing that you tune on your amp is the subsonic, LPF and gain. Tunig of subs totally dependent by the enclosure they go into. If its sealed enclosure will depend on volume and if ported is much more complicated. The term best is too general.

Can I assume that if I would go for 33 Deep 14 and Tall 20 port dimension would be 3 wide 12.5 tall and 28 long at 30hz? Planning to do my box next week. thanks Wynold

I dont think woven tinsels are the solutions for tinsel slap problems. I recalled Dan Wiggins mentioned last time that woven tinsels will make the spider weaker as you are punching holes into the spider. Over time this will weaken the spider when it comes to high excursion. IMO woven tinsels solve one problem while creating another one.

I voted for 2 BTL because I always liked 15 than 12 and also a one amp to one sub setup... if that matters to you. But if you would go with 4 BL and 2 RF4000.1 than I wanna vote again.

I dont think any new lines will be available at the moment. But new option will be a big possibillity. Q 3rd magnet or even square cone would rocks LOL.

that looks soooo kinky

errmmm.....help?

I would say that it depends on how much power are you going to give them. Below 1000w RL-p, 1000 - 1500w Q. I myself had to pick either one but would love to have both. In the end I pick Q simply because it can take more power. As far as being cute, its hard to tell between mike and scott

you mean this http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/American_Bass_VFL_400.1/ noob. I didnt see VFL there. BTL + 8000w = Pornstar

errr... 800w + BTL = ???

I had 2 12" CVR prior to my 15Q. Guess which sub wins by a mile....

Thanks Scott I was thinking to redesign my box into a smaller ones as I found it a bit impractical on my current box. I plan to reduce box size but was wondering whether I should go lower than 30hz. my questions would be: 1. If I were to opt for 28hz, would I have significant loss in the 45-65hz region? Sometimes I would play some trance song. 2. If I plan to go by box dimension of Wide 33 Deep 14 and Tall 20. What would the port dimension would be if I would go for 30hz. Sub will be firing rear instead of upwards. So my port dimension would be 3.5 wide X 18.5 tall and port lenght would be at 30hz?? Wes Would love you use your design but its going to be 24 in tall. Even with my current box height of 22.75 in is already half of the backseat headrest. thanks Wynold

If you are wondering the max box size I can go: Net Volume: 3.65 cubic feet Tuning Frequency: 34 Hz Port Width: 5.25 inches Port Area: 86.625 Square Inches Port Length: 47.5 inches External Dimensions: 34 wide x 18 tall x 22.75 deep may look at this to get some idea http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wynold/DSC01284.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wynold/DSC01283.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wynold/DSC01282.jpg Seriously no extra space to go.

Wes I see you sig and we are using the same sub there. Shoot me with your plan at [email protected] actually my initial plan is to tuned it to 30hz but after playing around with it I realised that my port is too long to fit into the box. After 1 week of trying I decided to increase tuning freq. to shorten port lenght. Might be not a good idea though. thanks Wynold

Scott / Anyone I had emailed Scott about this but I'll post here. Basically my questions is as below. I would like to seek help on my Q15 enclosure. I had builded a 3.65 cu.ft @ 34hz for the Q15. My specs and measurement as follows: Net Volume: 3.65 cubic feet Tuning Frequency: 34 Hz Port Width: 5.25 inches Port Area: 86.625 Square Inches Port Length: 47.5 inches External Dimensions: 34 wide x 18 tall x 22.75 deep Now, after installing and basically setting the amp crossover, subsonic filter and gains I found that the bass was muddy at times and lacked the lows. So I checked my amp setting even using scope just to make sure it does not clipped or distort. After listening to some song, it sounded a bit better, louder but lacked the lows and not clean. I crossed my LPF at 80hz and my HPF at 60hz. I always depends on WinISD for building my enclosure but facing problems when trying to key in the Q specs. So I relied with http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...mp;Fs=&CE=0 for my designs. My question is: 1) Does bigger port area makes the sub muddy? 2) Does my tuning freq. is too high? 3) Does my enclosure design is totally wrong? I planned to build another enclosure for it. The max I can go is 34 wide x 18 tall x 22.75 deep and I would tuned it something like 30hz. Any idea on the port dimension (width, height and lenght) ? Thanks Wynold

That a good price. How much does the SAE1500D cost?

14 inch round PVC port???? You better post pics for that.

I dont think its hurts the sub to have more port area than recommended. Might shorten your port lenght for higher tuning freq. Btw whats your objective? Increasing tuning freq. for more SPL?

I'm confused. You going to get the MT or you are trying to decide between the MT vs BTL? Both are proven subs. I'll go with the BTL as its loud and does sound good while at it.
