I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils... they've sat in their original packaging for a while now, never used. I don't have the space for 15s, and want to go with 12s... and I've decided on the Qs now. Any way to trade in and add money for them?
-
Scott check your emails! The lineup is looking great, the Havocs are pure sex. I'm curious about pricing, and if my Kicker ZX1500.1 would severely underpower a pair of 12" Havocs. The birthsheet is only 1550.
-
Check your email dude, need to place an order... but questions need to be answered first!
-
You ordered at a bad time... holidays and new warehouse acquisition... Scott should be back in business tomorrow.
-
would you be interested in selling them? Yeah, $180 shipped each
-
18" RL-p, 4 cubes sealed.
-
Tell me about it. If my subs sell, I'll just buy your 18.
-
Hm... Looking at your 18, it says it will do well in a sealed enclosure ~4 cubic feet? That'd be awesome, thats about the amount of space I have to work with. Worth doing or should I just go with a smaller sub? Also, what are the power possibilities? I have a Kicker ZX1500.1... not sure if I should get a 2 or 4 ohm driver, impedances own me.

I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils, going to be running them off of a Kicker ZX1500.1. I don't have a lot of room to work with after I reinstall the back seats of my truck and all, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience running them in a sealed enclosure? What's the smallest I can afford to run?
-
Good idea, thanks, talked to him. Gonna try and squeeze 3 cubes sealed per sub, 2 cubes minimum.
-
Tom Rourke in PA? Maybe I'll give him a call if that's who you're talking about...
-
I used alcohol on the dust cap without any problems... but that's just me. I cleaned the cones of my BTLs with a magic eraser when CA glue fumes turned it white... cleaned the cone back to new, it was amazing.
-
Looks awesome, I loved that box in person... and you're right, not inverted looks better!
-
Good luck with the shipping! It's nice to see that Fi is catering to international bassheads.
-
The story of my life! The new universal option on some of the subs is a great option. I'm not sure about the Qs, I didn't think that you could recone them to a different impedance. If not, sell it and buy a new one.
-
Sucks dude The rebuild will be MUCH sweeter... just make sure you have access to the rear suspension in case you need to change a bag or something. Who's bagging it?
-
You didn't go Tom, did you?
-
And that thread says NOTHING about recommended port area. Sorry, I remember a thread pre-crash that had the recommended enclosure size and what they generally recommended for port area, I didn't bother to read that thread.
-
Not sure if my memory is correct, wasn't it manny?

There is a thread at the top of the forum... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7156

Scott, you're going to this? I know Shawn is.

Just thought I'd chime in... haven't been around any forums lately, and I haven't talked to Scott/Nick/Shawn for a couple of months. I'm glad to see business is still booming. I purchased my first 18" fully-loaded BTL in August I believe... waited for my 20.1 to come in. Got the 20.1... and we built a 10 cube ported box, tuned to 30hz in the trunk of my 1996 Chrysler LHS. I gained close to 6 decibels going from an 18" SX and an Orion 1200D to an 18" BTL and a 20.1. My buddies Tom (forceofwill) and Robin (iamamp3pimp) with the BTL: After a local show (not sanctioned): It was loud, lasted me a few months... but then I had the desire to do a wall. It started out as a small idea, but quickly things came together. I got together with my friends Ruckus and Tom and we started to build a wall. We didn't do enough research, and before the wall was finished, we knew what we did wouldn't be sufficient. I got together with Tom weeks after and following advice of someone else, we went to work on a 9 cube box for the wall. After it was half done, we realized how small that really was.. and Scott advised me it would probably be a failure. I had made the commitment to go to the CarAudio.com Florida meet on December 30th... and we were already quickly getting into December. I was talking to my buddy Jon Kent, the owner of Epicenter Designs in Bradenton, FL about my car and what my goals were. I wanted a 150 decibel daily driver, and I wanted an indestructible wall. He told me he could meet the deadline, so I got my car up to him and he got to work. I did a lot of research, and got advice from a lot of people... Shawn, Nick, Noah, TommyK, Scott... and I passed on everything I could to Jon. Jacob from Sundown Audio supplied me with a sponsorship and I picked up four SAZ-1500Ds from him. Scott got me the second BTL. I took a bus up to Jon's house and stayed with him for a few days and finished up the wall with him. I drove up to Shawn's place, bought some batteries from him and he helped me out with the battery box. We didn't test the coils, and wound up blowing a BTL... no one's fault, just a combination of things overlooked. Scott did his best to get me a recone quick, and I attempted my first recone. It was a success! I had reconed my first sub, and it worked great. I purchased a DMM and everything necessary to remedy the situation a few weeks later, and I got to hear the wall fully-functional for the first time. I took out the TermLab and tested different things... and, well, let the pictures speak... What happened? The car couldn't handle everything. The transmission started slipping and leaking transmission fluid, the power steering fluid was leaking, the rack and pinion needed to be replaced, the A/C was leaking freon, the sunroof was popped out from the pressure and the car had so much additional weight in the back that my exhaust was scraping the road. I sold everything, and purchased my dream truck... a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer, one I had admired for months. I just got my 15" SSDs (with copper coils) the other day, and I'm planning my next system. Let's see how loud a Blazer can get!
-
Yes, it was more then adequate. I had a dual 1 BTL wired at .5 ohms to the 20.1
-
Ha, Tom's Blazer is a little loud... I was in it! I want to see if when you're done with it Shawn, before Tom even knows what you're doing with it

Thanks, I've been a member for a little bit... had a bunch of posts deleted since the crash.
