the spider came apart all arround and it seems to be tearing close to the cone and i dont wanna put glue 2inches thick from the cone the would make the sub imposible to move thanks for ur comments though.

anybody knows the phone number of fi audio so i can give them a call cuase seems like they dont wanna answer my question...

anybody knows if this is covered?

hi ive owned a fi bl 15 fully loaded for like 5 or six months I love it. last week I notice a weird noise coming from the sub and today it stop playing, im running a fosgate p8002 amp witch is around 900 rms and a pioneer head unit gain is set half way , well I took the sub out of the enclosure and one of the tinsel leads broke I have a soldering gun and I fixed it back but the problems from the noise is the spider that came loose from the cone so since I have a one year warranty on the sub what do I need to get it repair,,, please help I love the my bl a lot better than my other Rockford fosgate t215d2 right now i have Extreme Leads on the sub and thats was eating up the spider a little bit so if my warranty is valid can i get normal leads? thanks again. this is my sub,,,,,,,, fi bl 15 fully loaded ohms= 2 cooling=yes flatwind=yes daily or spl= daily Extreme Lead=yes.... but i dont want them so if i could get them changed to normal would be great. universal =no

im glad ur ok after all that man and im glad for ur family im sure they would have been sad if something wouldve happend to u, now be safe

so is 2-3 db increase a big difference?? is it worth changing my fully loaded fi bl15 for a fully loaded fibl18?? whats everyone here thinks. thanks scott.

hi its me again, i currently have a bl15 great sub, Ive seen people seem to like more the 18 inch subs better than 15" are 18 that much better, i see they need a big box but would the output be that much better if yes what percentage increase do you guys think i can get with a 18". Now my other question how can i make a box for one that is going to be in my caddy devilles trunk i cant go higher than 19 inches tall for the box and i dont think i would make it becuase the sub is 18" plus box material .75, so can i make a box facing up and port facing to the back of the trunk?? would that sound good in a car?? thanks again and comments are apreciated.

hi, im in the process of making another box mdf wood, my question is i dont know if they sell mdf wood 1" thick but if they do, is it better to buy a thicker mdf wood per say 1" is better than 3/4???

im trying to do the same thing, is it better just to buy a yellow top battery or to get another auto parts battery like my stock and put it in the trunk??? what would be the good of adding a second battery without an isolator?? do both batteries have to be the same size cause ive heard that if one is biger than the other both can drain each other is that true??

my bro bought one once, it was ok i guess it was making a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee noise coming from the inside of the amp, so now i would not buy refurbished amps i would rather buy a used but not refurbished.

can i ask you how the heck u got so many posts????,,,,,, 281446 you must be 100 years old and started posting at the age of 1 lol just having fun.

these are the comments i hate, its like particle wood is chit, ignorant people i would at least say its 70% good compare to mdf 100%

yes i will, i will be using mdf wood netx time i make another box i just found interesting what this above article said, especialy with everybody here saying that particle wood is a peace of sh** material to use, i searched about this cause my power enclosure for my t215d2 rockford 3.25 cu ft net particle wood sounds great and ive never had enyproblem at all for almost a year.

my point is that everyone here says not to use anything that isnt mdf woood,,, as u see the artilce says the particle board plywood and mdf are good material to build a box, and everyone here says nothing but mdf wood.... thank you very much

OK I FOUND THIS SEARSpeaker Box Construction Speaker boxes can be made of anything rigid enough to not vibrate and cause losses or distortion; the most common materials are Plywood, Particleboard, and MDF. Plywood is more impervious to water and probably the strongest and lightest, but Particle board and MDF being much denser have (possibly) better sonic properties, and MDF makes the nicest looking boxes and is easy to work with

yes but why???? i tought if an amp doenst have enough juice to suck from it just shutts off. ok do i need an alt or a better battery??? my stock alt is 140 amps

fry??? that dont make sence,,,, ive heard an amp can fry from too much voltage but not from low voltage. Ok since I AM A be running 1800 rms i have a 140 amp alt, should i replace the alt or get a yellow battery?? im kida low on money right now so i can only do one of the two.

what could happen it the amp doesnt have enough juice from the battery and alternator????

resuts from two different subs,,,,,,, i just finished putting both my subs and amps in and installed, and it sounds really good i dont see no bass cancelation, now my windshield shakes pretty good i like it the only problem now is my electrical system it sucks I AM A be upgrading it prety soon.

i think you didnt read this but i cut 3 inches from the depth of the box now it does closes, my cu ft went down though now its only 2.95 cu ft after sub and port displacement, i will try and let you all know what happens i could not do double buffle becuase of the space in my trunk ooo well i will try it tomarrow.

there it is my finished work I AM A try this box first and if dont like it i have a friend that needs a box and I AM A sell it to him, I AM A try it first to see how it does if it does good i keep it if not sold. i will have videos pretty soon.

ok pple i have another one, go to best buy enlcosures at best buy are made of particle board, i tought of that becuase i bought one a long time ago and it was particle board, buy the way i paid 100 dollars.

good opinion, I AM A be making another box soon, this time is gonna be made out of mdf wood, i learned a lot here yes i thank you all for ur great help.

There is quite a difference between 3 cubic feet and 4 cubic feet. Generally speaking, the smaller the enclosure is, the less efficient it becomes and the more low frequency performance you give up. Going from 4 cubes to 3 cubes is quite a big difference, especially for 15" subs. Also, it becomes harder to tune the port to a low frequency: if we assume the same cross sectional area of the port, a longer length is required to achieve the same tuning as the enclosure becomes smaller. Not sure exactly what you're asking with the second question, but MDF is not particularly expensive. You can get whole 4' x 8' sheets of 3/4" MDF for less than $20, and that would certainly be a step in the right direction. OK THANKS MAN, well my box is now 3 cu ft do u think that is enough for a fi bl15??? or should i make my box to 4 cu ft thanks for ur help.

thanks man u are completly correct. now is there a big difference between a 3 and a 4 cu ft box??? my finished box is 3 cu ft now, i was wanting to get as close as 4 cu ft as posible but now i only got 3 cuf ft per chamber, is there a big difference?? i see everyone wants to make this huge boxes especialy for the btls is the a good for a big box. HOW MUCH IS MDF GOOD?????
