davo

and what about the orientation will forward forward be ok so i could keep them outa the direct sun or just quit being cheap and limo the back half and go sub up and port back?

and also instead of facint the sub up just spending the dollars to have tint done ?? i live in tx and as far as i understand behind the B pillar i can run as dark of tint as i want

so you would reccomend the ssa then Teg??

there are several im considering the obsidian audio 12 the fi-x series the ssa gcon and the incriminator audio lethal injection

thas nasty civil im interrested in just a single 12 behind the back seats i have no tint or cargo cover or garage to park in i was wondering about sub front and port front so this would also keep my sub out of the direct houston sun i could go with a bigger box but lay down my back seats so i can enjoy the loudness if both are forward as this is my current DD, but im not sure one of the members on here drew up a box design but if i puth the port back then i only have 3 inches of clearance between the port and the back of my car with a 2.5 inch port width will this be ok?? also i

i am also interested in the obsidian audio 12 does anybody around here know these subs. up till now the best sube that i have enjoyed were 10" mtx thunder 6000s the first year they came out, and 15" rockford fosgate punch classics now i have owned several others such as q power audiobahn 12S sum jl w3 10s and kicker cvrs im looking to take my sub to the next level and so i am trying to learn about subs i have never actually heard or seen in person.

why in particular would u choose the gcon?

how much space between the port exit and the back of the car??

I forgot to ask how much room do i need between the port opening and the nearest wall in my car such as the back of the seat or the back of the hatch space? I didnt leave but about 3 inches betwen the box and seat or back of the car when i gave the measurements erlier. fail

hows it goin ereybody i have put in plenty of systems in my frineds and my rides but i recently had to start over again that being said im currently running a 07 cvr 12 d4 and a re audio dts 1000-1 for power i have noticed a rattling in my speaker and decided to shop for a new one when i came across the fact that FI has affordable and rebuildable subs i have never heard any of these but am seriously thinkin about takin the next step and going to a better speaker such as the FI bl3 12 or an obsidian audio 12 just would like some more info on these if anybody has any input id love to hear it

Btw man i was lookin at that box u did for the van that thing is effing SICK looking!!!!!!!!

I thought it was s.o.p. for a 12 volt system to charge at 14.5 thankyou for confirming this. I found that it wasnt my cvr but my amp that was rattling thats why im gonna rma my dts 1000.1 and change up to the 1500.1 but i want to run it at 2 ohms as u advised my bass boost is maybe 10% up not much at all I didnt realise that it would cause that much of a problem with the 8 ga for a ground as i was told by the re audio tech guysto use 8 ga. I thought that sounded fishy to run an amp of these power ratings on and also i ran out of connectors so used my old ground that i was using on a lanzar vibe 210 P.O.S. amp but it got me through lol So ill just go grab some connectors tomorrow and make a 4 ga ground.

sound stream refrence 405s this was the best i had it pushin 2 mtx thunder 6000s man man they hit

I have done the big 3 upgrade but i did it with 4 ga wire, also im running 4 ga to my amp and 8ga ground. My factory 60 amp 12 v I was told thats all it was built to put out any way alt croaked and when i was lookin for a deal i found a 130 amp 14.5 volt for a bill and put that in. I'll be dropping in a red top optima asap my lights dim more than i like sadly. I do hav a 3.5 f capacitor but im not sure if it'd help

Thanks for the welcome im kinda sneakin in some time on here as im at work so if i dissapear u know why lol

lol Sorry about the punctuation writing has never been a strong suit of mine. But the dimentions i have are 34w 16h and 15 d i could go bigger but if i have to get to my spare it will be a b*&ch. As for the port and sub placement ive always ran sealed and pointed twoard the back. I currently have my box pushed up against the back of my seat and playing into the open space created by the back of the seat being on a slant and my box being a 90 degree angle. It sounds the best with my current setup that being said i have no idea what the benefits to where i place them ( port and sub) on the enclosere will be or the drawbacks.

well ittl be a couple months before i can even order a new sub got my oladys b day xmas and our anniversary coming up over the next 3 weeks and im gonnna have to recoup a bit hahahaha but any help on the box situation would be most appreciated i guess i really just need to pick which sub im gonna upgrade to and go ahead and build the box and as u said i could always drop in the cvr but i did get my rma info on my amp and they said they will let me just pay the difference and get the dts1500.1 so im just gonna have to go without and beat in my ride till i get the amp back my main thing is im lookin for a great all around daily sub i drive acouple hours a day at the least do the gcon and sa12 have to be built by order and can they be rebuilt the abuility to rebuild is the main reason im interrested in getting a better sub

well i have my cvr in a prefab as of now id like to go with a slot ported box since im in a hatch theres alot of room back there i have been trying to find how to build one but the re audio box calculator that i had my plans all put in to i have since heard is not accurate and also ive never used a ported box so im alil gun shy to just build off those plans i was wanting to just build the ported box to see how it affects my good ol kicker but also im worried if i do that it wont be able to be used for anything else thanks for the reply alton also i checked it out alil better today and im sure its not my speaker thats rattling it sounds like my amp rattling bummer!!! but its still under waranty so im gonna rma it and see if i can go up to the dts 1500-1 since i do like the amp so far and am thinkin about getting a beefier sub i prefer to run more power than i really need by a lil so it cuts back on how much i have to turn up gain since its a cheap amp to begin with

hello all i found this site while trying to find out more info about the fi line of speakers im just about ready to leave the big box realm of bang and take the next step
