I sent your desired plates out through USPS as priority mail, the tracking # is in your PM!

AAHH, bummer maaaan!!! It's all good though most of us have damaged more than just one woofer! Just know this the next time around...You MOST CERTAINLY can fit a 12" with spec volume and I would tune it too 32hz depending on the sub of course, I have a WAAY smaller trunk opening and am using a 12" woofer and box. Here is the box I chose for my fully pimped out Fi BL12": http://www.fatboxusa.com/products/1-mdf-12-fi-audio-btl-subwoofer-sub-enclosure-box.html I can tell you want more bass than that 10 can safely produce anyways Also that box will work with all kinds of subs as long as their cutout diameter is 11.124" and their demanding specs fall with in this enclosures specs! ...not that this expensively built and shipped enclosure needs purchased specifically but all in all i think it is a great design and it's built like a tank!

I will PM it to you...

I live in utah. Don't quote me on this but I think you and I are on a very short list of people in this area that even know about any of these " underground" audio companies. I have been trying to spread the word tho. Same here, NO ONE in my town has any of these drivers from SSA, the car audio shops in this town havn't even heard of them, let alone the car audio croud! I just can't wait till mine shows up so I can really get the word out

I looked and the best looking ones for a collection is a white 68 and a green 67 will this be fine? So that will be 35 plus shipping ...12.35 I believe for flat rate USPS priority mail so $47.35 I decided to list these plates elsewhere and are selling really fast but I will hold these ones untill I here from you!

One nice thing is that I live in Idaho which is very close to Vegas, comparatively!! So shipping will be nice and quick!

ok, the montana sold, but I can get you all of the others. For the Idaho ones do you prefer a certain year or prefer the best pick of the lot? the 58's are sold, other than that you have your pick. For shipping these will fit in a USPS flat rate package just fine and is a flat shipping fee, that you would need to pay which is $12.35 and payment needs to be thru paypal to protect both you the buyer and me the seller, and also the package. PM me your desired shipping address and I will reply with the paypal email, and ship the same day.

I wouldn't cancel my order...it was just an early morning on the fly remark...I am an but a squire in the school of patience, lol...I don't know Fi, as well as you Alton, but there are few replies and testimonials like yours that are what makes me trust in them and their product. As for "crying", lmao, and not knowing what business days are, I think some have misunderstood my integrity and knowledge of how the world "works". Also I don't care if they answer emails or not, I have not even sent an email nor have I sent a message thru my order page since I made the order as I do know that they are nearly insurmountably busy. I want to also mention that I never said Fi has bad customer service, I am sure that since it is common knowledge they don't email back as soon as people would like that ALL of their customer service that I desire is going into the craftmanship of the driver that I ordered. I am, on the enclosure side of things, also experiencing some extreme delay's in getting my box finished and shipped from FATBOX USA, due to the same "tax season" work load...but I do have the confidence in both company's that they will send quality products at their earliest convenience and when they are satisfied the product is good enough to ship to their customers. Thanks for calling me out on my previous post though. Fi won't lose this customer...I have built my whole rear end of my car in and around the anticipation of this specific order.

I don't mind waiting a month but I will probly cancel payment if it takes much past that. It says 7-15 days to build, account for them being busy = a month, 60 days is just out of hand. my order is just above the OP's by not that far and he got his in a month...

most prefab enclosures made by local shop vendors are too small to begin with and also don't take into consideration port and woofer displacement and are tuned around 40hz...23hz is faaar below that and if you have an ssf filter adjustment on your amp it needs to be set at or right around 36-37hz untill you get your box you want that better suits your good woofer, be carefull what your doing at this point, any odd noise out of the sub could be damaging to it. And that is a very nice woofer.

$10 a piece for the old ones and $5 a piece for the newer ones ~clearly they are old, and the dirt on them is most likely also Vintage, lol!

32hz is always a good tuning for these heavy duty subs I believe, however, I don't know what the XCON wants in terms of space and tuning, or rather, what it desires for best performance. If 32hz fits right around the middle of reccomendation, I would surely choose 32hz and use the max internal volume INCLUDING SUBWOOFER AND PORT DISPLACEMENTS!!! listed under vented specs. To quote Alton... " As Brendan mentioned you have to factor in the volume of the sub itself to the volume of the enclosure. So say you're going to build an enclosure that is 1.5cuft NET, be sure to add the .16cuft of driver displacement for a total box volume of 1.66cuft total." Your number's may be different but the same practice still applys. Your subwoofer's website/manual will list it's volume, or someone on these forums will know specifically.

I'll post pics of the ones your interested in, if you would like...

Also don't forget there is a break in period of nearly a month on those subs before they reach their full potential of excursion and loudness, just go easy on her for a while and she'll start to open up for ya, and if your going to stick with a that particular sub look into getting the max sized volume within spec tuned to the lowest hz within spec

Ok...I have for Idaho: (and these are matching sets) and all 1/B for Bannock County Years: '58, '59, '61, '62, '65, '66, '67, and '68 these years vary between green and white. $10 a piece Then I have a matching set of Blue Callifornia's and 1 white California, a yellow Alaska, and a white Montana $5 a piece Let me know what you think!

defintely interested. Let me know what you have. Will do I am heading to the shop here in a few minutes and will get back to you shortly after.

Update: Ordering a Maniac Electrical Motors H/O alternator doubling my amps to 180

I have done months and months of research and years of trials in car audio installs and have become intermediate in my knowledge. I am Interested in putting more muscle in the trunk of my 95 Mazda Millinia. My setup includes: A stock 90 amp alternator connected with premium 0/1 gauge to my Oddesy 65-PC1750 Battery that is also grounded with the same gauge. A Kenwood Excellon KDC X493 head unit with true 4v pre amps A Hifonics Zeus ZRX1000.4 amp powering Kenwood Excellon XR-1800P Components in the front and Kenwood Excellon KFC-X693 6x9's in the back. In the trunk: 175 farad "BatCap" and a 1 farad SWX capacitor A Hifonics Brutus BRX1600.1D amp for the trunk powering a Rockford Fosgate T1D212 in an OLD pre-fab box that is completly wrong for the sub. All of my wire is 0/1 gauge of OFC wiring I am very excited now since I found Fi a few months ago and started reaserching their woofers, and am eye-balling the BL 12" Dual 2 for Daily Driver. I also have researched and found a good box built to spec from Fatbox USA(I don't have the tools), and am in the process of verifying that it will fit thru my trunk opening, if it does it will be a perfect match. I look forward to chatting with and learning from everyone, and possibly helping where I can! Thanks for Having me! ~THX_Elite

...any reply on how you like your sub now? We all put alot of thought and suggestion in

If your still interested in old plates, my parents and I run a antique and automotive shop and we possibly have a few to a lot of OLD plates, we're talkin' 40's 50's 60's....I will look into it if your still around and looking. Just let me know.

Thanks for clarifying that Alton, at the moment I, personally, do have improper port tuning and internal box volume for my T1 and still have little to no port noise, however I do fire it all backwards, (other wise i'm sure I'd here a bit of it) but that is going to be rectified when my Fi BL and it's fancy new enclosure arrive! I'm a lucky one as for trunk rattle as my Mazda Millinia doesn't have that issue very bad at all..wonder if it has to do with being the "L" version...anyways.... Thanks also for making note that since the OP prefers the sound and feel of the forward firing design to make sure and keep anything from blocking the driver and port. I don't have the option to fire forward as my back seat is two pieces, the bench and the back rest, and the back rest does not fold down. So instead I have a nearly 1 foot square hole in the deck below my back window that air shoots thru when I'm poundin' It's sounds great and you can really feel the air come at you still. I hope the OP can fit his desired enclosure design in his trunk opening while keeping the same volume. (learning as I move a long in these forums is my intention!)

You will get the most of your sub when you fire it and the port towards the rear in most CAR applications...this way you don't get "port noise" from the air, let's the sound waves reverb off of the rear of the car then the dash/windshield before it hits your ears and it gives the listener more of a physical experience, IMO. There are videos on you tube about how to get the most, measured, spl out of your setup when positioning your enclosure. You would gain spl by facing the sub and port to the stern I know that for sure(in a car).

I understand, I realize I posted in a way that is non desirable to myself or to others. I like my Hifonics but at the same time I would most certainly enjoy a few certain brands over what I have now for sure..Specially some that are connected with this forum. I love this place and mean not to sound ridiculous.

Niiiice choice in both woofer and Battery!!! I have an odyssey in my install, a pic of it with the big 3 is in my profile pics and the model is in my signature.

ya, I don't disagree with that by any means, these are just what I know to be reliable amps that are cea compliant and have nice and accurate rms ratings, at a good price, and run at cool temps. I wouldn't mind running a RF1500BDCP but those are 700 bucks and at least 500 used. There are many options out there and I am sure quite a few good sellers in this forum who might have better choices in amps for sale also. I have gone through many amps and the ones I found to be the best were RF and Hifonics as in term of lasting for ages. Heck my brother has been using and abusing a Hifonics Titan for over 6 years now and it still runs cool and clean, where I have had many Fosgates' die on me in a lot shorter time, not to mention they run A LOT hotter. Since I have found SSA though, I now have more desire to branch out into some different brand amps I have been seeing and researching! I don't like tootin' horns on specific brands as "to each their own" is an important factor here, and just wanted to offer a person on a budget, like me, a suggestion I am familiar with is all. I know there are a lot better amps out there, for sure
