i think with option 2 if im reading it right, you have 2 feet beside the couch? perfect place to build a tower (port at bottom, subs facing the same way as couch) with some quick math, i figured if the box was 24" x 16" x 5 feet you could do a decent box and you could go even bigger like 6 feet tall so you could make really low tunned port. then you could make a desk and not have to worry about your hard drive being ripped apart. im interested in a 2.1 system for september when i move into residence. what kind of receiver, amp, speakers are you using?

jim, i downloaded a whole bunch of tchaicovsky like you mentioned in a post a while ago cause i was looking for some bass but i couldnt find any, i downloaded the best of tchaicovsky. what other songs would you know of?

haha try canada our english has "colour" or should i say "flavour" haha just kiddin

ive been thinking of a setup for my dorm so this topic caught my eye, i was going to do 2 18" Mjs also but sealed so i could fit them under my bed in a 6 cube box. you could have the subs face out where a standard desk would have drawers, and then have a single port, 20" wide by 7" high so you could fit feet and itd be nice and breezy haha. generally i dont even go under my desk because my sub and computer are in the way (i rest my feet on the sub sometimes, 2 cubes only) but i could deffinitely fit 22.5 cubes total in the space of this desk. so you could easily fit 9 cubes

alot of those songs especially the techno and doe boy fresh just dont have good lows. "hypnotize" by jeezy "out the pound" by birdman and lil wayne are my favourites right now "leather so soft" by the birdman and wayne, cali dro is just a wicked song by them also "what happened to that boy" by baby aka birdman is a classic. "the boom" and "give em what they want" by dmx. "big black train" and "like this" by mims "Purple" and "high off the ground" by project pat "boy looka here" by rich boy "psst!" by the d o double G-izzle and jaime foxx "down for my ni**as" by snoop dog "oh timbaland" by timbaland "focus" and "white girl" by jeezy "badd" by the ying yang twins "shorty wanan ride" by buck thats some of the stuff in my cd player, which plays Music

^^^^^ agreed! but preferably 2 18"ssds simply because the cone area.

hey, im going to be buying a VW rabbit in a couple months cause i got accepted to my #1 choice university!!!! i got a scholarship so now i have about 10 grand saved up plus i'll take out a student loan and im gettin paid to go to school (1600 bucks a month). I currently have a Fi Q18 tuned to 28-30 hz, and i hit 145.2 on my first try with some music. Im looking for some help on deciding what the best setup would be for a hatchback. Im thinking 2 12" BTLs with about 5000 watts. im really excited to get this project goin. my goal is to break the 150 mark but music is what the stereo will play, no farting. any help is appreciated!!!! thanks

haha im seeing 170's!! but putting in 8 18" BTLS sideways is goin to be a feat in itself. Steve, all your work has inspired me greatly, you are my actual hero and good luck mayne! we all got to look out for your son cause hes gunna be killin competitions, and the next step to get even louder would have to be a nuclear warhead ported in the cargo area haha

but it has to be recognized!

do either the Pioneer deh p780mp or the deh p880prs have the ability to control a 2way + sub active setup.

if your into all types of music, you will want to build a box accordingly. the subs can play whatever you listen to, but the box is what determines how it sounds.

id set the wattage to about 1500 watts rms with the bass knob on full and the headunit up as loud as it goes clearly. that way you can drive around with the bass knob down and when you crank it up, you know your only sending a max of 1500 watts to the sub. i think the formula is: voltage=square root of (watts x ohms). use a digital multimeter to set your gains and you wont have problems. somebody will come by and correct my formula if its wrong

id also reccomend a fully loaded 15" BTL, just look at dopeys pic beside his post, its a beautiful driver. plus the 20001BD will put out much more than 2000 watts. the bl isnt rated for that amount of power. Welcome to the forum man

oh dear

oh this reminds me, what kind of electrical would be required to run a 3000D at 1 ohm daily?

A Q18 in a too big 11.6cube wall tuned to 30 hz, with 1000 watts Termlab: 145.7 at the windshield with Young Jeezy's Hypnotize Audiocontrol = garbage but i did a 160.6 at the windshield

Scott, youre way to pretty to screw anything up hahahaha

i never use win isd any more, i always got wrong port lengths compared to other proven online calculators, and compared to scott

sound deadening is one of the funnest parts of an install i find, i went with second skin

its easy enough to make, the hole cut out is 14.125" and the outer diameter is 15.625". just take some card board and cut out the circles. what kind of car?

Like it says up there, Ive always like the RE SX type dust cap/cone because it so seamless and seckserific. Just wondering if Fi plans on doing that and how many other people on here would like that option?

so your going to do a blowthrough!! sweet

as most people say, its in the install my Q18 sounds better than my old Kicker CVX 15 and my friends 12 type R sounds better than the CVX, both are generally good sounding subs. the Q is on a whole different level. and those are different installs, different tastes. theres no real way of telling you whats best because there are so many variables. I think because you seem fairly new to this, you may want to stick with 10"s, 12"s or 15"s because of the flexibility of the installs. if you got a big truck, throw some 18"s in that bish! haha just remember if it doesnt sound right, its most likely the enclosure

hahaha whats the cardboard sub for? i think im going to have to make one

thank god!! i dont think that basket is appealing in any way shape or form whatsoever
