Hey guys,

I am getting 2 Fi Q 12"s and need to build a box for them. I want to get the most output out of the subs as I can with still having decent sound quality. Ive never built a ported sub box before and would really appreciate some help as I cant seem to find any for 2 12" subs.

Thanks,

Luke

Just build to the optimum specs on fi's site and I would to to maby 30-32 hertz

argent audio here on the forums makes very nice custom enclosures

SSA and Fi have free box plans on here, find one and build it.

Any links would be helpful. Thanks

Thanks guys!

A couple more questions. I need to get an amp or some amps to power these. Should i get 2 amps at 1 ohm or get a more powerful amp at 2ohms? Would 2 Hifonics BXi1210d's do the trick? Anyone have any good recommendations? And also, will making an enclosure with divided chambers improve the sound at all or make the subs louder?

Thanks

There's plenty of amps that are 1ohm stable, thus allowing you to run one amp to power both drivers at 1ohm.

I don't remember the rms rating on the Qs off the top of my head but sundown audio has a sax1200d, or the older saz1000d, saz1500d.

Check out the SSA store, they carry quality amps that will work for you, if money is an issue you can always check out the for sale section.

I'd rather buy a quality used amp then a brand new cheap amp

I'm getting the 2ohm versions of the Subs, I didn't think you could run two 2 ohm subs at one ohm?

Well I didn't know that, you can either wire both subs parallel for 0.5ohm or parallel/series for 2ohms. OR you could wire each sub separately to it's own amp to 1ohm and match settings with a dmm.

I don't suggest wiring to 0.5ohms...

Wiring to 2ohms would be easiest i suppose and just find an amp that makes the amount of power you want at 2ohms.

Why not get dual 1 ohm and one amp.

How much $ do you have to spend on an amp?

x2 we need WAY more info....

I already ordered the subs. I might be able to call fi and get 1's. Anyways I have around 450-500$ to spend on the amp/amps

$400-$500 on an amp? You could get a Sundown 2500 (pre order) if you're not in a hurry.

1500 should be enough for 2 Fi Q.

Try to change them for DVC 1, so that you can use them at 1 ohm on an amp.

Called Fi got them changed to dual 1ohm. Solves my problem.

Thanks

you will be one happy camper if you get that sundown amp i have the 2000d and it absolutly rocks!!!!!
