Hey Scott, Im finally in the process of my build and I was wondering what you recommend for polyfill. I ended up getting 1 12" Q with high qts option. The box Im installing it in is 1.2 cu ft. From what Ive been reading I should stuff it with 1 - 1.25 lbsof fill per cu ft of volume. So 1.2 cu ft box, sub displaces .16, internal volume 1.04. I was thinking 1.25 lbs of fill should be good. Thank in advance, Mike

Hello all, Havent been on the forums for a while but Im doing a new build and need some recommendations. I was thinking of purchasing 2 Q10" subs and installing them in .8cu ft enclosures. These enclosures are Subthump stealth boxes that fit behind the wheel wells of a 2010 Camaro. I have a few questions. 1) Whats the diameter of the magnet on the 10" Q? The max magnet diameter of this box design is 6.75". Will it fit? And do any of the build options change the magnet size? (cooling option. pchamfer, etc.) 2) The specs on Fi's website recommend .2-.5 cuft after displacement with the high qts option. The boxes I'm looking at are .8cuft. I see people on the forum talking about much larger sealed boxes. 1.0-1.5 cuft (maybe these were the older Q's without high Qts)? Basically I want to make sure the enclosures Im looking at are going to do the subs justice? There's no point in spending $600 on subs and not putting them in recommended enclosures. My other option is to run 1 12" in a sealed enclosure that's 1.2 cuft which falls right between Fi's recommended enclosure sizes. But im afraid 1 12" may not be enough. I had 1 10" Re Se in the back of my old Camaro which was a hatchback and I was happy with the sound. But with the new car subs are now in the trunk so that's why Im questioning if 1 12" sealed is enough. I will be using a Sundown Saz-1500d to power whatever I decide. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah I already have 4 guage run to the back of the car. If its sufficient Im trying not to run a 0/1 guage wire. Ill have the 4 guage going to the distro block and then (1) 4 ga to the sae and 1 (8) guage to the PPI. Now you spoke of a fused distro block. The block I have is not fused. I only have the 1 fuse in the power wire 8" from the battery. So If I get a new fused distro block, I should install a 90-120 by the battery and another 90-120 in the distro block?

Hello All, Im finally going to install my amp I bought a few months back and have a few questions. Let me start by telling you were Im at. Im going to be installing an Sae-1000D amp powering an RE SE 10" rated @ 600watts @ 2 Ohms. I also have a 4 ch PPI amp bridged 160 watts running my front components. The car currently has 4 ga wiring. Would 4 ga still be enough to run the 1000 and PPI amps. Also what size fuse should I use for the power wire. Thanks in Advance, Mike
