Love the amp! Got it dirt cheap on ebay and it fit perfectly on my amp rack between my Hifonics amps. I've been surfin around on ebay looking for a second matching amp, but all I can find is the zx250 in white. If I do end up finding one I'll need to redesign my amp rack. This was my setup before getting a matching Perfect VQ and ported box. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on my box specs for the BL15? Should I try to stick close to a 4 cu ft box or can I go smaller, like 3-3.5 cu ft?

Hi all! Finally came to the decision to go with Fi but not sure what model or size to go with. Just trying to get a little input. I'm a daily driver and listen mainly to rap. In the past I've entered in a few local SPL competitions when I had four 12" Diamonds but nothing serious. I'm trying to keep the price around the $300 range. Currently I have two 12" Kappa Perfect VQ's, each in its own 1.75 cu ft slot port box and each powered by a Hifonics Brutus 1505D. 0 awg power wire. 5 farad cap. Exide orbital battery. There is roughly 9 cu ft to work with in the back of my '97 S-10 ext cab and I'm willing to devote both amps to powering one sub. Right now its a toss up between a 15" or 18" and either the BL, SSD or the Q. Basically... I just wanna go louder! Any opinions are appreciated.

For a daily driver, should I just get the flatwind coil and cooling options added? Lastly, my buddy and I are going to attempt to build the box. This is what I came up with using RE's enclosure calculator. Do the dimensions and port size look about right for the BL15D2?

MemphisMzd, The Hifonics Brutus 1505d is rated at 1500w @ 1 ohm. For now I think its just gonna be one BL15D2 that I'm planning to order at the end of the month. If I end up selling my two Kappa Perfects, then I might get a 2nd BL15.

Thanks johnecon. If it comes down to it, that might be the route I need to go. Yes, you are reading it right Scott. I didn't know if just the one amp would adequate. Believe me, I would definitely upgrade to a BTL but its a step or two out of my price range. So do you think I should just use one 1505 and get the BL15D2 instead?

How do I know if the amps are strappable? From the looks of it, the only model of the Brutus series that is strappable is the new BX2607D. I suppose it would not be optimal to run an amp to each VC then, huh?

Well I have come to the conclusion that it's gonna be a 15" BL. Now my next question, should I get the dual 1 ohm or the dual 2 ohm? I'm planning to get the flatwind coil and the cooling option but don't know if one amp to each VC @ 1 ohm would be too much?
