Sorry to thread jack but how many layers for a Q18"?

Yeah I guess so. Reconeable woofers is what sets all the great woofers apart from "normal" woofers. Shipping shouldn't take too long sence I live in Sacramento. I think my past woofers only took 3 days to recive them. Looking forward to the recone so I can hear my system with 2 18"s for the first time!

Long ass time for just a recone kit

Just found out my gf has Paypal so I just bought the recone kit. Had a few problems with Fi in the past so I really hope this goes smoothly!!!

Well, I hope it doesn

bump

Ok, so I

Is paypal the only way? I dont have paypal...

So I have 2 designs to choose from. Both designs have a total of 11 cubes and tuned @ 31Hz. This design fires into the side of my Xploder back by the hatch... Subs up, port up... What you guys think? EDIT: Big thanks to AMATT85 over @ SMD! I will be running the Qs off a MTX 92001

Hey J Black. What size did you cut the top piece so ur subs have the inset look?

My X is a 4 door. I don

It was 4" from the back wall. The port was 6.5 W x 19 L x 19 D and wasn't round off either (Forgot to before I put the box together)! This was the sub up, port back box. I had it metered with that box and hit a 147 on music. It was my first time doing it and I didn't know what I was doing, could have played a better song, tuning was off, etc. I think I could pull off a 150+ easily now. I got one thing working against me, FLEXING!!! Losing alot of pressure because my roof and side windows flex to much. That one Q of yours pumps bro!! I know your going to be really pleased with 2!!! Yeah I know 2 will slam 4 sure! I

I would love to have the box redesigned for maybe 29-30Hz but I don

You said on your build log "Oh yeah! I think it's going to sound better and louder than my old enclosure. My port was to close to the back wall in my old box, giving a puffing noise when I would really pump it cause there wasn't enough space for the air pressure to release smoothly". How far was ur port from the back wall? Have you ever metered your system? If not, what do you think ur around?

Yeah I remember that build. So subs up, port up hit harder? I thought anything but port up would hit harder! I have the same measurements as you. My box is around 13 cubes too, but after all the displacements its around 10 cubes.

Ok, so I already have a Fi Q that I have been bumpin for about 4 months now. I am planning on getting a second Q after X-mas. Should I recon my broken in one before throwing it in a box with a new woofer? Also, what would be the total price for a recon kit with is being sent to 95677. The sub is a Q 18

Ok thanks! I had people telling me I need to recon it cuz one is broken in and the other isn

anyone?

Nice!

Yeah pictures!!!

Yep yep

Soon to have one more 18... Check these videos! Besides the little problem I had with communication, Fi ROCKS! You Tube shrunk the videos and made them a little blurry but you get the pitcher.

Find the tuning
