Im with Tirefryr, looks almost or alot like a paint chip or crack, not so much a sheet metal crack.

, pic of box ok so im building my new box, its going to house 2 15 inch Fi SSD's. Im putting a plexiglass window on the front and need some pointers on how to flush mount it. I have some ideas but dont really know what would be the best way. I will be using 3/4 inch MDF, and the window will be 3/4 inch think 12x24. Any pointers? thanks, in advanced

window. the inside will be red and the outside will be linex (truck bed liner black) and its gonna have some led lighting on the inside.

ya thats not all bad of an idea, just more weight that i dont want to have. I might have to try that, i have not thought of doing that way

BTL for loudness, Dcon for SQ, dont get me wrong the Con will get loud and the btl doesnt sound all that bad... either way you should be happy with your setup

stefanhinote?... its up to fiveoh, you may starve the sub and lack output or u can spend the extra money get a bigger amp, its personal preference.. i just prefer extra power just so i don't have to run my amp wide open. anyway regardless of what you do amp wise it will sound good.

wow, after looking at your link, i never wouldve thought that was the correcct way to tune an amp. i got some tweaking to do later

i just ordered a LED lighting kit for my interior, http://www.ledunderbody.com/7-Color-4pc-Expandable-LEDGlow-LED-Interior-Lights-Lighting-Kit.aspx It comes with a microphone that makes the lights pulse to the bass, i know it does not work good because a friend of mine has the same kit. So my question is, is there anyway you can hook this directly up to my HU or amp so it will work perfectly? Thanks, in advance

thanks for all the help guys, im going to look into yall's suggestions. I just dont if i want to tie up another 50-80 bucks in the mess.

ya i went to the midnight premier as everyone was walking out the packed theater i waited and sat for it to clear out and that when it showed letty is alive

not to thread jack but Alton... how did you get the Fi on your box. it looks sick i been wanting to do something similar like that to mine

iv heard plenty good sounding Jl's and Fi's, they are both amazing drivers when it comes to SQ in sealed enclosure. just from the past experience of my W7 and how broken in it gets, and my friend with his w3's i just rather SSD that is all i meant by it. If i had to go anywhere beside fi it would be sundown then JL they do make amazing drivers i just find Fi has a bit more to offer when it comes to Loudness without the sacrifice of SQ. Iv stated my honest opinion about the matter he was asking. It may have been in favor of Fi and explain why, unlike others that just put Fi and have never owned or hear JL before. its an opinion, they got people out there who swear kicker makes the best and loudest sub woofers in the world and that's there mind set..... you cant argue with them its an opinion

What you've noticed is that the people you know don't know how to build a box for a JL. 100% operator/installer error, don't blame the subs for that. The w6 is a GREAT driver. Personally I'd much rather have them than the SSD's, but the OP's goals may (and most likely are) be different from mine. I say get 2 SSD's. I have a single SSD 12 and it sounds amazing and gets extremely loud. And JL is way to overpriced. In this case your argument is backwards. Overpriced should relate to cost of ownership. Buy the SSD's at $360 and sell in 3 years and compute your loss, then do that with 2 JL W6's for $385 and I guarantee financially the W6's will be cheaper to own. But again, these answers are STILL UNRELATED to the OP's goals which he hasn't shared yet. Perhaps the whole idea of a sealed enclosure is even wrong for him. Throwing up useless subjective opinions is not helping him come to the right conclusion, but for that we need more information. OP please give us some goal related info, car info, other equipment you have and so on. Then we can help you decide. ummm, why would i ever put my W7 in a box not correctly built and tuned for it? it sounded great, but my SSD 15 was louder and had just as much SQ. so no i didnt notice people not knowing how to build a box. i build for me and plenty of other people. He asked for an opion in this case Id had a w7 and SSD so i was comparing them both.

id deff look into recone, they are really easy to do by yourself, also it would be a fresh start like having new speakers, thats the only reason id do it, if your worried about the hole, just leave it unless theres a sound diffrenece

both very good amp, for price-AQ if thats not a problem id say sundow, i run AQ just for the price never had a problem with it its a beast amp, i really would like a sundown one day though

yes, they sound amazing and have amazing SQ. iv heard an SSD running sealed perfectly on the AQ1200 also if your looking for a good amp. just build to the specifications that Fi recommends using

ya i do agree its a nice looking sticker the ones that came with my amp where simple just AQ. i put them on dry i didn't know you could put it on by wetting the sticker first. Also i ordered the 5x11 sticker i just emailed them and they sent it free. it say audioq and then under it it has there AQ logo like the smalls ones that came with my amp. if you want more all i did was email them and told them i wanted a few they sent me 12 smalls ones and 2 5x11 lol

ya that's what i was thinking if there is a way it will be complicated. the bigger more expensive kits come with the microphone and direct wire hook up you just jump off a door speaker wire. but this one does not. I just thought maybe someone might know if you can modify the microphone or something to tie into the HU or a speaker lead. But thanks any input is appreciated

Ebay also has the stinger voltmeter for 25$ shipped never had a problem with mine.

i got one, iv never had any problems with it besides its very bright and hard to drive with at night. All i did was cut a piece of limo 5% tint and put it in there, its perfect to see in the day and night now. Like they said ^^ don't forget to set it with a DMM the knob to set it is under the front cover (easy to remove) and is turned with a Philip screw driver, eBay i got mine for 25$ free shipping.

i have been running my AQ1200 on 1 Ohm for awhile never had a problem with it, i could never even get it close to warm, very good amp for price

well knowing your going ported im assuming your not putting this behind the seat, i have a friend on here we built his box for a 2004 silverado single cab his name on here is xlogan225x go check out his pictures, he has a center console box for a FI ssd 12. the dimensions are 13x16x36deep. after port and displacement of sub-woofer it gave him 1.8 cubs. You will have to remove the whole center console. The passenger seat wil also need to be removed to install the box and then put the seat back after. assuming you have a near close model truck to him 99-06 model single cab those dimensions are perfect it fits tight and the height is perfect to still put you arm on. If you needed more than 1.8 cubs the only way is to build the box higher. i would give you the port dimensions for his is tuned to 32hz but i forgot them, just use a box calculator. Check out his pictures and measure your truck just to make 100% sure it will fit then calculate the port using a program and your on your way.
