    FI Q12" Box help

    Gday all I am running two FI Q 12" D2's in a daily driver with a box that was built for it by a local car audio installer using a single round port. Sounds reasonable but no where near as loud as I expected from these speakers. I am driving them with a Hifonics 2k rms amp Boot mounted Optima inline with another optima under the hood. Also have a 2.5 Frd Cap. This is a boot mount install in a Aussie car Called a XR6 Family sized four door sedan.. ATM I have the speakers behind the back seat pointing into the car and the port facing the same way. Metered this setup at 132.5 before i upgraded the batteries seen alot better scores out of single speaker setups with similar sized cars.. Was looking at getting a Decent box constructed by a Local installer am looking at a Slot port box or even Sealed Always had Ported boxes guess I am scared of going to Sealed and losing even more volume that it has now IE 128 or lower DB.. I know we all say I wanted SQ more than SPL numbers but in truth I probably should have gone BTL and not Q but at the time thought the BTL's were only good for single tones IE bass racing guess we all learn something .. So the installer knows he needs 2.5 Cub foot per speaker and 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume, but he isnt sure of Slot port opening sizes IE 3" or 4" Any Help or insight into this lol... Thought things like this would be easy to work out IE 4.5 - 5Cubic foot of air needed for the speakers and say roughly 30 Inches of Slot port would be calculated by Opening size Vrs Length of the port to get the right amount of Inches needed by the port.. Maybe I am missing something. Thanks in advance to any help Trevor

    Q's or BL's ?

    Guess a Mixture of Rock and metal 60% time with a good mix of floyd thrown in to confuse things... But I still want to be able to turn up the gaine and shake the car. I am guessing FI Q15's should be able to do that for 1 or 2 songs in a row sustained bass output without melting down. Songs like Sorrow from the pulse album rattle my current car and make your eyes blur a little with vibration... I guess I want High Quality but in a nutshell I still want to be able to have someone sitting in the car say oh chit wtf are you running ! lol.. Trev ps been known as Sanfu for as long as I can remember kinda fitting now since i lost a leg in a accident last year lol ..

    Q's or BL's ?

    Hi done alot of snooping around looking at setting up FI's in my car will be in a Ford XR6 Turbo (aussie car Large 4 Door sports / family car) currently running 2 x P3 12's rockfords and a P1.6 600w rms Alpine D amp in a ported box.. I love my sound quality but also like Db's.. If i run 2 x 15Q's can they be ported or should they be sealed for best Quality.. Or should I just go a couple BL's ported.. These will be Trunk mounted. Also what amp should I go ... See alot of people saying Sundowner Will 2 x 15" Q's or bl's handle 2 SAE-1000D strapped together ? or just run 1 Amp. I like a varied range of music from Rap to Metal and pink floyd ! lol . Will be over in Nevada come November was thinking ordering a couple 15" while there shipping em back ot Oz.. Thanks in advance for any contructive answers still on steep learning curve and always willing to take Genuine advice ! .. Thanks Trev
