  1. Im considering on buying one of these head units and would like to know if you guys have any opinion on which one you think is better. In terms of sound quality, functionality, features, ipod use
  2. I currently have my 15 L7 mounted in a 1.5ft.^3 sealed enclosure powered by a RF Power 1001db 1000watts @ 2ohm in my brothers semi truck it's a international 9400i with a bunk bed sleeper, it has mb quarts 6.5 components up front and 5.25 coaxial in the rear powered by a zapco ag360 with a clarion dxz 575 head unit. My goal is to get real loud and maybe enter competition in the future and upgrading to two L7's or even 2 fi 15 bl's and space is not problem. i listen ti wide range of music but mostly reggae, hip-hop, r&b, rap, pop, and some classics, its my first time building a ported box but i have experience in building sealed, so it would helpful if you guys could help me out with the enclosure volume turned to what frequency with the port area and should the sub displacement be subtracted from the volume or is it included. Sub facing up or forward and should the port be facing in the same direction, do i need to brace the enclosure, Thanks guys!!!!

    New FI Q 12

    Bought a new Fi Q 12 and i was wondering if you guys could help me out with the enclosure, i have a hatchback its a golf with Cdt es-520 with upstage up front and cl-61a in the rear powered by a Directed 1100d5 and strapped to 600d for 1200watts @ 2ohm for the sub. i listen to wide range of music but mostly reggae, hip-hop, r&b, rap, pop, and some classics. My goal is sound quality but i would also like it to be loud at the same time without sacrificing sound quality and with that said would a sealed or ported enclosure best suit my hatchback. Thanks guys!!!

    15 L7 spl enclosure

    the port should be 12 in.^2 per ft.^3 so that would be 60 in.^2 for a 5 ft.^3 enclosure tuned to 35hz

    15 L7 spl enclosure

    I've seen that page already, i'm looking for numbers that i cant work with i've heard that 4.5ft.^3 @ 34hz should sound loud be i'm looking for more opinions on what you guys think is a good spl enclosure for a 15 L7

    I would say ported since you threw loud in there, what are the max dimensions you have to work with (height x width x depth). About 36w x 15d x 24h i would think, i dont want to take up all the space, what fz in how many ft^3 and what port area Speaker facing up or back and should the port be facing in the same direction as the speaker Ported box: 1.8-2.5 cuft @ 28-33Hz. As with what direction to face the sub and port, its all guess and check. Could you be more specific, it's my first time building a ported box and does it needs to be braced using a 1" face board an 3/4" for the rest of the enclosure.

    New sub setup

    Im going to upgrade my amps with a Soundstream Reference 500sx for the sub and a Zapco Ag 360 for the components. Considering to upgrade to a single 10 or 12 for now in a sealed enclosure(i can make myself), looking for sound quality, something that makes your chest rumble at the same time. $300 shipped is my budget Rli-10, Rlp-12, 10w3v3, 12w3v3, IDQ 10 & 12, Re sex 10 &12, Fiq 10 & 12, Icon 10 & 12 these some subs had in mind. And do you think a sealed enclosure would match the type of car i have, any suggestions and opinions will help very much. Thanks alot!!!!
  22. Thinking about upgrading my head unit to something that is ipod friendly with good sound quality and high pre-amp volts. Eclipse Cd 5030, Jvc Kdr 900, Clarion Dxz 785 are some of my choices, my brother say i cant go wrong with the eclipse, suggestions and opinions will help very much. Thanks alot!!!!!
