I coulda swore i posted the price up for that, hm...hard to tell. Anyhow, the 15" ssd recone is 70 bucks for the standard one (aluminum is 20 extra, copper is 5 extra, can't do both) and a basket/gasket is ~32 for the 15 iirc.

All of the info is on the site... Sub OD: 18.500

eh?

Each series of subs no matter frame size uses the same motor. The BTL is compromised of 220oz slugs, while iirc (cant remember off of the top of my head sorry) the Q uses ~125oz, 20mm slugs. There's no sense in making any 'bigger' motors than what we have now for the appropriate series of woofers, we are getting the preformance that we want out of them, and everybody that has them seems to be pretty satisfied . You run into issues like saturation and many other things when you keep going bigger and bigger (not to mention shipping would be more...and at the end of the day it would cost the end consumer more money, for something that yeilds very little to no benefit at all what so ever). By using the same motor on a particular series of woofers no matter what 'size' you choose for them to be, it makes it much easier for us to customize the sub for you as well. It's no huge deal to turn a SSD 10 into a SSD 18, simple basket change and a recone and your good to go. Hope this helps a little.... -Nick

it may work with 1/2" material, the 3/4+ it wont work, it just sweats it and busts .

depends on how far you are from the back of the box, i dont have a box program here so i can't calculate the proper length to tune to the given frequency that your looking for

Use a 4" aero and tune it accordingly.

Just bring it

Steam won't work with MDF...not a good idea

Just one given scenario and one given install...only reason we did the 12 challenge is to give a basis in a given application for all different woofers. Put that same box in your car, it'l act completely different.

looks good man!

Awesome, post install pics whenever you get the chance!

Another review by DosOne, Thanks man!

New Q Options for 2010! Cooling: The 2010 Q now features a solid pole piece that allows the addition of the Helicool cooling system that will allow an additional 200-500 watts of power handling depending upon install and scenario. Bottom line this option increases thermal power handling capacity over a “Stock” Q. P Chamfer: This is a chamfer on the end of the pole, it helps to bring the air down around inside of the motor and helps cool the coil better. It also helps relieve the pressure underneath the dustcap. Please note if you select “Cooling” this option is included in the cooling package. High QTS: This option is for users who intend on using the new Q series woofers in only a sealed enclosure. Spider: This option adds an additional spider to the spider pack to help with mechanical power handling and keeping the moving assembly under control. I Heat Ring: This option is a machined aluminum ring in the gap that lowers the inductance of the voice coil which allows it to play up a little higher in the frequency range and have better overall transient response. Please note that you can NOT select low Qts and the I Heat Ring options together. Past Q options: The 2009 and earlier Q series woofers allowed for a “BP” option which was a machined aluminum compression plug to the pole which helps channel all of the air under the dustcap around the coil for better cooling. To aid with this increased airflow we also added 6 axial cooling channels in the top plate. Along with increased thermal capacity comes the addition of an extra spider and a changed spider pack. All of these features increase power handling from 200-500 Watts depending on the application. We no longer offer this option with the 2010 Q series woofers. This is simply for reference for people who want to know what past options were offered. Enclosures: Q 10 – We recommend using a sealed box in the neighborhood of .2-.6 cubic feet of volume (after all displacements for those wondering). For ported boxes we recommend using .5-1.2 cubic feet from 28-33Hz tuning with 12-16 square inches of vent per one cubic foot of enclosure. 
 
Q 12 – We recommend using a sealed box in the neighborhood of .8-1.5 cubic feet of volume. Ported box we recommend using 1.8-2.5 cubic feet @ 28-33Hz (I personally think that a 32 Hz tuning is optimal, and has the most output and is still the most musical daily driving). Use 12-16 square inches of vent area per one cubic foot of enclosure volume. Q 15 – We recommend using a sealed box in the neighborhood of 2-2.6 cubic feet of volume. Ported box we recommend using 2.8-4 cubic feet @ 28-33Hz. Again use 12-16 square inches of vent area per one cubic foot of volume. Q 18 – We recommend using a sealed box in the range of 4-8 cubic feet of volume. Ported box we recommend using 6-10 cubic feet @ 28hz tuning, you can tune a little higher if you wish but we recommend keeping it under 32hz. Again the same 12-16 square inches of vent area applies per one cubic foot of volume.

They'll make another appearance.

you broke rules foo

uh huh. no shirt fo you

aw tom, come now.

you tried to cheat

Cone geometry on the BTL 10 is horrid...the BL's use close to the same suspension as the Q does, basically its a spaced spider setup, instead of the sandwich.. So no the BL 10 shouldn't have the issue, we figured it out with the Q.

haven't seen this yet, looks good man, progress!!!

i ordered tweeters yesterday better watch out...all your sq might am are belong to me

done

changed your title a little bit, saying 'off' instead of 'of' funny story, thanks!
