well its gonna be getting pushed by 1200 watts rms I got the bp power ones will that be good for daily or is 1200 watts not going to push it to its potential? this is pretty much just for daily so I want these subs to last Amp is a JBL GTO 14001 claimed to put out 1200 watts @ 4 ohms and 1500 watts @ 2 ohms subs are dual 1 ohm does this amp really put out this wattage it is CEA compliant or do you think this is an inflated number?

Noone is puttin in there 2 cents

We'll I see from Port calculators that in order to have the required 12 square inches of port per cubic feet i would have to raise the tuned freq up to 34 hz or lower to less than 12 square inches of port per cubic feet pro's and cons needed, Now maybe the Port could be Folded to achieve 32 hz I dont know im not a enclosure builder what is the pro's and cons of 32hz (which is what you recommend) vs something higher like 35hz? With 35 hz is there gonna be certain notes im not gonna hit or are low notes just not going to be as loud vs 35hz I noticed the BL's are rated 32hz to 37hz what is the difference between it and the Q that make it's recommended tuning freq higher than the q? or maybe I should just skip all these complications and go sealed but I really want ported correct me If I'm wrong but doesn't the tuned freq have a 6db boost?

i think i'd be able to meet the minimum recommended ported box so sound wise 5.6 cubes ported @ 32hz vs max sealed 5.2 cubes how will it sound different I know the ported box would be a lot louder but what will be deeper, be able to hit more notes etc?

that would be 5.6 after the port do you think its really nessary for 1 inch thick mdf or do you think just the sheet that has the subs and the rest 3/4? also what kinda power handling will it have with say 5.7 ported compared to 5.7 sealed? like if you build the box to max specs how will the power handling be compared to the min specs?

I went to a car audio place and they basically tried to discredit fi and say theres no way a sub of less than 600 can handle 5000 watts how does a fi Q w/ bp compare to a Re Mx and a MTX Thunder Square 750s

fully loaded btl but i went there to ask about gettin an enclosure built for 2 fi 15" q's and of course i had to hear about how great the mtx 9500 is and how fi cant compete with RE im sure RE are good subs the diamond audio's they played knocked but even if i was gonna buy there brand of subs i would order it off the net tax free and like 300 cheaper

no 2000 watts total i dont want to have to get some crazy electrical system for my system

Im looking at which one to get my box is 6.3 cubic feet ported at 27 hz, according to recommendations the btl is the only choice but i only have a weak 1500 watts RMS at 2 ohms and don't want to get 4 batteries and 3 alternators I don't really care about sound quality as long as it sounds better than my kicker cvx 12's i got right now and I want it to hit all the notes right now it only hits low notes and pretty much doesnt even play high bass that you hear in most songs

yea same power same enclosure size same tuned freq with 2000 watts powering two subs 1000 each do i really need the bl i mean the q w/the bp option is 1500 rms each that should easily handle the amp right?

what about 2 15s vs 1 18 i know the 15s have way more cone area but which will be louder?

bl vs q how different do you think it will sound for power im gonna be using at first my jbl gto 1400 which puts out 1400 rms at 2 ohms not sure what it puts out at 1 ohm then later im changing to a soundstream taruntula that puts out 2000 rms at 1 ohm

yea it's a double slant box like trapezoid shaped i want to make holes for 2 15s instead of 12s and redo the top so it has a monster port thats like 24" x 6" by whatever height it takes to make it tuned to 32hz and hopefully that will take the box volume down in the 5 cubic feet range i just blew 2 kicker cvx 12s that were in this box for about 2 months i know the box was way to big for those subs i specifically told the guy to make it 4.5 cubic feet and tuned to 32 hz when i checked out the deminsions i realized he had made it like 6.2 cubic feet and tuned to 27 hz which is so low most songs are a lot quiter than my old 3.0 cubic feet box the 3 cubic feet was tuned to 29hz

yea im thinking about having the front recut for 2 15s the box is something like (off the top of my head) 39w 24d and 19h something like that i know its 6.2 cubic feet if i cut the port and made it a inch shorter it would bring it up to like 30 hz
