    FI 418s 4th order single reflex bandpass design!!!

    Enclosure can take up entire rear of 1st generation S10 Blazer. No back seat. In my s10 minitruck back in 91 the box came back to about 3/4 way through the wheel wells and all the way up to the topper walled off with fake panels connected to the big port firing into the cab through one big port that was about 20"x34"x4. I know this box will need to be slightly different as far as airspace used and port area. But I'd really like to know which sub to use to stay as close as possible. Don't have my truck here but I'll get some numbers for you. Having a new 350 put in and 700r4 tranny!. I do know this. If you read my box description and understood it in the 1st post. The center chamber was equal to both rear chambers combined. Thx again NDMstang65 and all helping with this totally informative forum. Joe Rod FI418s

    Hey lil John. Yes I'm the guy from Tampa. I do live an hour north of Tampa now. We definately remember you and the 16 - 12 SSD's. You saw how excited I was we talked and questions were answered but I forgot to ask your name in my bewildered head.. Thanks again for giving such a clear undistorted demo. My world rocked and as you can see I'm trying to catch up. Thanks to FI, SSA, and everyone like yourself reppin FI with an old school flavor and not the same old SPL box everyone is copying. I call it the washermachine box that always needs to be shut to run. The program used to build our 418s boxes actually came from Audiomotion in Altomonte Springs. Mark, Doug Denardin, and Jeff Blair were a big help back in those days to push the envelope further. They had a red nissan mini with 12 Lanzar 18's in 1991. Sold me and Kelly Boy at a show at the "old sombrero" in case your not from our area that's the old Tampa Stadium that was torn down when the Bucs moved nextdoor. LJohn is Big Mike the guy that used to have the 40 10s back in 91. There was a big Mike that had that settup in Tampa he built with Bill from Mild2Wild. I had 3410s then and I know him pretty good. Talked to him Sat night at SBN at the glowoff while Tommy (another Tampa homeboy) was doing SPL's for the crowd. Lemme know if it's the same Big Mike. His 40 10s were in a white Isuzu mini lj do you know Kent's settup? models, amps and batts. So I can make note of what I actually heard in person. Thanks, Joe Rod Scott I'm going to need some really red stickers. Torch Red if possible. Or maybe chrome - how bout both haha I'll overlap them - sweet CAN'T WAIT

    again I am NOT the least bit concerned about SPL. was leaning towards BL but also looking at the Q

    How did you guys find SSA???

    I just got back from Daytona's 21st SBN's and was surfing this trail on my new FI board. Those subs are sick. I heard Kent's and the 16 12's by big mike. Both really cool guys. Thx This is my 88 Blazer that will see 4 FI 18s soon. Not sure which ones to use yet. Would like to build a single reflex bandpass just for making some air move. Gonna keep on reading this site. Thx everyone in advance!
