Doctor Q

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7158 Sticky section haha thanx. i saw that but it was earlier before i bought the sub and i never really thought about it but that answered all my questions... would it be safe to say that by next weekend that i should have it?

old post im bringin back becuz i have a similar question incase i end up going ported at the last minute... would 3.6 cu ft. @ 31hz be good? Also a 15" Q and im limited on space.

im wasnt worried that anything was wrong but i ordered mine last friday i believe?? i cant remember but i got an email saying that the billing info had been received and i was just wondering about how long does it take to make the sub? it said on the email from UPS that they shuld be here by Feb. 2nd and so i assumed by this friday i should have them since its already the 4th..... i got one 15" Q. No rush, i just wana make sure the order worked and that nothing is wrong.

oh nice... well good luck with that. should be awesome. leme know how it goes

Yesterday i received the amp wiring kit and the 10ft of power cable for the "Big 3". Today i received the 25 ft of speaker wire and the headunit. The sub and amp should be coming in shortly and then ill be installing it... so now i gotta decide quickly on my box ideas. I have decided to get a sealed box... i guess about 2.6 cu.ft. there is only one thing left to decide --- which way the sub faces and where to put the amp... in terms of sub direction/placement, i was thinking of doing something like like having the box in the trunk and when i open that armrest thing the sub will be facing towards the cabin....i was thinkn like when u opened the trunk itd be like sealed off... like a wall... so basically the trunk is just not as deep and there is a big wall which is the back of the box and then if u go inside the car and lay the seats down there is a big wall with the sub in the middle... does this make sense to u guys??? how would this sound? thanx in advance. w/o you guys i would not have made it this far!

oh sweet,. what kinda car u puttin urs in?

i ordered a 15" Q with BP and a Red Dustcap. and its dual 2 And my setup would look identical to that bmw with the 15" Q firing thru the armrest in the backseats. im going to seal off the trunk so that if u open the trunk it wuld just look like a normal trunk just smaller and then if u go inside the car and fold the seats down it'll be a big wall with a sub in the middle and idk where im guna put the amp.

i dont have room right now for a ported box.. i need my trunk so scratch any ideas with that... and im not giving up my back row for my subs... then id only have 2 seats???? and that first video is the same thing i was diong, he just has his seats folded down. mine would be down whenever im not driving ppl around but up when ppl are in the backseat but put the armrest down to have an opening into the cabin area.

??? any help guys ???

My amps coming soon and my sub probably sometime next week so i want to have my plan before i get all my stuff so i cant install it ASAP... any comments, suggestions, advice???

i was also thinking (depending one cost) to make it so when u open the trunk there is a wall of fiberglass so u can see the magnet part of the sub... maybe not the whole wall but atleast part.. i think that be cool.. then maybe neons later down the road

I got quite a list to but can always use more.. mind sending me a message with a list or maybe even in this thread because im sure others are interested as well.

how much room would i have left if i put a box about 3.5 cu ft or so in my trunk (1999 volvo s70). I may port this sucker if i do i am aiming for about 3.5 cu.ft. and tune it 30-32hz?? idk any suggestions.

Ok so this is probably not the best place to post this but i needed a final "ok" from some people who know their stuff and i know most everyone on here does so that is why im asking. I am ordering my stuff, probably before the 24th since there is a sale on the amp i want, and just wanted to make sure im making the right choice and wont regret anything and that this will work... This is what im buying: - 1 Fi Q 15" 2-ohm (im assuming DVC so i cant wire it to 1-0hm?) ($304) - 1 Sundown Sae-1200D amp wired to 1-ohm ($310) - Alpine CDA-9886 ($300) - KLM 1/0 Amp Kit ($53) - KLMX 1/0 Silver pwr. wire. 10 ft. for the "Big 3" ($18) - Streetwires 12-gauge speaker wire 25 ft. ($42) And then the guy at the audio store is making me a custom box. It will basically shorten the depth of my trunk and big one big wall with the sub in the middle and then on the other side when i flip my seats down i can get access to my amp. 2.6 Cu ft. sealed... box is about $300-350 Does this sound good? Is the box a good price? and am i missing anything or should i change any of it? Thanx for the help guys... im looking foward to poppin my "Fi cherry".

yeah i just saw some cars similar to mine with a 15" Q ported and theyre car is gettin torn up so i think im going to seal it this time and go from there.... so how should i have the box made so that i get more sound into the cabin with less trunk rattlin'?

i think im going to either seal it at 2.6 cu ft but idk how im going to do the box... or im going to port it at 3.5 cu. ft. and port it through the middle armrest whole in the backseats with the sub facing either up or to the trunk and tune it 30-32hz OR port it to the side with sub facing up but wouldnt that rattle the trunk alot? so out of those 3 options what do u think would be the best idea... for someone that likes it loud and listen to mainly all rap/hiphop. but i dont want it so loud i cant stand it driving. i also dont want to tear apart my car yet, thats why i wanted to seal it now and maybe this summer or next christmas get a new custom ported box....

im afraid i dont have that kinda trunk space to sacrifice right now... at the MOST probably 4 but i think im going to seal it first and then port it later down the road.... now i gotta figure out how to make the box and how i have it set up to be the loudest...?

i just read some more stuff on 15" Fi Q's and i think ill seal it this time and maybe this summer or something port it if im not happy... so for a sealed box.. how should i set it up to get it as loud as i can will also keeping SQ.. apparently my original plan would keep alot of sound out of the cabin and make the trunk rattle so i dont want that.

ok one question... what did u mean when u said.."I'd say sealed facing ported ONLY if you will have the seats up." that didnt make any sense to me (sealed facing ported???) but i think ported would be better for my kind of music.. and i have a 1999 Volvo S70 but idk the alternator size...

how would these options work... 1) sealed with sub facing backseats 2) ported with sub facing trunk and port going thru the backseats 3) ported with both sub and port facing the trunk

so what if i had the sub face the trunk but ported it thru the backseats? would there be less trunk rattle and more sound in the cabin i want the least amount of rattle and i want a loud system but to still retain good SQ.

two questions.. 1) how does it seal all the bass into the trunk any differently than a normal sealed box 2) when u say fire into the cabin i assume u mean like have a port that aims thru the middle armrest thing in the backseats?

I caught it an NONE else did........ really? If it is a 2ohm DVC, that is dual 2 ohm coils. wired in parallel (sp) it brings it down to 1ohm. But then he had it right? O_o woah man you scared me haha.

fishers will do a custom box for about $150 sealed for the size i need... but it wont fit flush to how my trunk looks... it will just be a box right?
