  1. I just realized those are D2 subs which mean I can only get a 2 ohm load. Thats gonna mean only around 500W a piece. Dammit, what to do, what to do?
  2. Does a downfiring ported box = a bad idea? It would be both subs down port firing up toward front of truck. Im trying to think about all the different ways of mounting the subs in my truck.
  3. I'm glad you said that because the ones im buying do have the copper coils. And I think with a little creativity I should be able to get a little more than 3 cubic foot. Its gonna be a center console box so the only thing im really worried about is cupholders. my current console setup doesnt have them but I lost a lot of cubic foot to do my 7.2" monitor mount. When I finish the design in google sketchup Ill post a pic to see what you think.
  4. well Thats probably whats going to happen and Im gonna sell the hybrid to a kid from my hometown whos looking into a new system. Scott, do you think 3 cubes is enough? The box will be ported. Any suggestions?
  5. What do you guys think? One Fi/SX 12 hybrid or 2 SSD 12's. The amp is a elemental designs nine.1. Box size would be about 3 cubic feet.
  6. Bump on the badass video.

    No those arent dark grey. They are almost tan. Its a really light gray color. I have the free white tee shirt and 3 of my friends bought the "dickies" shirts. I have to say we were all quite disappointed with the color. I think ill make my own.

    It only flexes bc ur truck = poo.
  10. i have it hooked up to an ed nine.1. ANd i never turned the gain all the way up.
  11. Hey scott, nick, or shawn, What box size and tuning frequency do yall suggest for my sub? The box I have it in now just isnt working. The sub sounds like it is bottoming out on certain frequencies and i only have the gain about a half of the way up. Its currently in a 2 cu. ft enclosure tuned to 33Hz. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  12. Cool. Thanks for looking out man.
  13. Im looking for a bigger one too. I need one bigger than the small one's Fi sends so i can make a license plate before scrapin the coast.
  14. Yea i didn't know what it was at first either.
  15. Well a video of my sub wouldnt help you since its not an X. I got my RE SX12 reconed by Fi. So actually mine is around the equivalent of your Q.
  16. Nah i'll do it by ear. I got it sounding pretty good and no clipping.
  17. No LittleMatt, not yet. Ill probably make one Friday or when I come home this weekend. Why do you ask?
  18. well Ive been playing with it all day and I think I got it about right. I can adjust my sub levels from my cd player all the way up with no clipping and its still really loud so I think that should do the trick. Ill be sure to post my vid and pics of it inside and outside the box this weekend. Thanks for the info Nick.
  19. I'm just following the instructions from the HOW TO on gain settings. Im just trying not to clip the new sub. I think may be what damaged it before you guys fixed it.
  20. Hey can anyone help me? I am trying to figure out the voltage for my amp/sub so I can set the gains using my DMM. I read the how to but how do you take into account a dual voicecoil sub for the ohm. I have an Fi/SX 12 and an ED 9.1 which does 1200x1@ 1ohm at 12.5 volts. My sub used to be 1000rms but i'm trying to find out from scott if it is any different since it was reconed.
  21. Hey Scott, Are the specs the same on my subwoofer, power handling wise? Is it still 1000 rms or is it more now? I'm trying to figure out the right voltage so I can set the gains on my amp with my DMM. Oh and the shirt is awesome, thanks alot for the shirt and the stickers.
  22. Thanks for the info. Ive been anxiously awaiting getting my speaker back and I just didn't wanna do anything that could mess it up. BUMP FOR AWESOME PRODUCT!!!
  23. I just received my Fi/SX 12 hybrid in the mail. It looks awesome and ill be sure to get some pics up and a video soon. How long do you suggest i play it low before i turn it up? I have the gain about 1/2 way up right now. Just wondering how long before I can cut loose on this bad boy.
