Posted July 20, 201114 yr Ok I'm a old db drag competitor since 97 to 02 .I want to get back in to it a little bit .I want to hit a 150db's on the new Mic's . I have a set of the old VFL'S extremes 15's.I want to change them in to FI BL's can that be done ? All this is going in to a Buick raininer.amps, are powerbass new 5000D's two or maybe four of them.

You could see if BL softparts would fit in the motor and frame (or buy a new frame) but you wouldn't have BL's then, you would have VFL's with BL softparts. Whether or not the BL softparts fit depends on the dimensions and geometry of the motor, and whether or not it's actually a good idea depends on the dimensions and geometry of the motor as well as how strong the motor is which will affect the resulting T/S parameters.If you want BL's, why don't you just sell the VFL's and buy some actual BL's?
July 22, 201114 yr Author Yeah bob built them to handle a lot of power way back then 8 years ago .but power is better now .the baskets are 8 spokes big magnets on them 3 inch voice coils .I have pics of them if u want to see .I just don't know how to put them up on here from my phone .
July 22, 201114 yr Author Well I finally killed the VFL'S and I seen on fi wed sit they have a reconing kit that will fit any sub out there and you can turn it in to fi's
July 22, 201114 yr You can not turn them into FI subs, you can use Fi softparts possibly as stated earlier but you will not have Fi subwoofers. You can slap Fi stickers on the dust caps too but they will still be VFLs. 10,000-20,000 watts is probably not a good idea for the VFLs or BLs either. Maybe a couple BTLs would be better?

You can try to turn them into VFL motors with Fi soft parts, but that's all it will be. And you will want to make sure the resulting T/S parameters and other performance aspects of the end product are appropriate for your intended purpose.

They are SJA (Atomic) built drivers.
