hey guys on Fi's site I was lookin at their 12 inch IB3's and its not showing any cubic feet spec's for a ported box...... why not? I was thinkin about gettin those instead of the SSD's because they call for a lower rms and the xmax is more..... and they're a lil cheaper too.

hey guys I already have some Focal 5x7 CA1 door speakers that have the tweeter built in but I wanna get some seperate 1" tweeters and a crossover do you guys have any recommendations. Im not sure really about any brand as far as just tweeters go which is why im asking. i'd like to keep it around 100.00 if possible.... Thanks guys.

idk mainly for the crossover i guess. im going to get kickpanels with 5.25 and tweeters in them eventually.... will prob also be Focal

a mono ported box about 3.5-4 cubes(installed in bed with cutout going to cab) going to go with 2 12" FI SSD's and a Rockford T1500-1bd

is FI's SSD's a SPL or SQ sub? or a little of both?

what does it mean to have an "active" setup? i'm confused and wat is front staging...... sorry guys im a noob

why cant you judge a woofer by its xmax? i thought the farther out the cone came the higher spl the woofer would produce? idk im just a nooob but very interested tho. anyone got an answer?

ooo so i should prob just go with the SSDs instead of the IB3's?

I thought two one-ohm dvc subs could only achieve a resistance of either 0.5 or 2??? im a lilttle confused on this part, sorry guys. also when I get my 220A H/O alternator put in do i need to run a seperate 4 gauge power wire from the output terminal straight to the battery with a 300A inline fuse along with the stock wire going to the other battery? this part confuses me too and does it matter what amp i have going to which battery or how i hook them to gether or anything? i'm going to be running two yellow tops if that helps.....

Hey guys, I'm going to be purchasing three 10" FI SSD's soon and I was thinking about running them with a Rockford T1500-1bd but i'm not sure if I need dual 1-ohm or dual 2-ohm vc's and how I would go about wiring them up. This is also my first post and love the forum so far guys, keep up the good work. i'm open to all suggestions but am on a budget so plz try to keep that in mind. Also the sups will be in a mono ported box going in the bed of a single cab ranger doing a blow through setup.

no if i did i prob wouldn't be asking this question lol plz tell me

ok guys I can get the RF 1500-1bd for 429 shipped. i can get the Audiopipe 3000-1d for 315.00 plus shipping, i can get the sundown 1500 for 500.00 or the sundown 3000 for 650 refurb:( or the AQ 2200D for 389 shipped so I need to figure out which amp i need to get to run these 2 12" FI SSD's...... one thing I can say about rockford amps is they're always underrated and i'm not so sure about some of these other brands. not talkin trash just in-experienced with them. If I do decide on the RF 1500-1bd will it push these subs hard if i dont get bp power with a flatwind coil? or is the audiopipe amp really that much better? I already have a RF T400-4 and it pus out 520 so thats 120 over what its rated so i'm guessin the 1500-1 would prob do around 1750-1800 rms....... If you guys dont think it'll be enough to push them let me know but thats where i'm leanin at this point...... Let me know what you guys think.

I left my headlights on all night with my yellowtop on purpose and my truck started right up the next morning. i was pretty impressed to say the least.

ok that'll work. do i need any special kind/size wire to hook both of my optima's together?

okay the cap is def out. do i need another fuse besides the one by the batt. in line with the power wire? or just that one? i think its 100A but i havne't gotten my 0/1 gauge kit yet im still runnin a 4ga. kit right now......

it doesn't have any fuse's on the amp itself? do u think two optima yellow tops and a 220A alternaor would run it fine? or will i need a cap? im also running a Rockford T400-4 right now that i'll be keepin in there for the mids and highs.....

I think that audiopipe amp will fit nicely behind my seat too. what size power/ground connections are on the amp?

Audiopipe? never hreard of that. do u got a model number or something? how good are hifonics amps?

I didnt buy that rockford amp yet. I havne't decided on an amp but I just really dont wanna spend over 500 for one........

ok now im a little confused sooo I'm going to get 2, 12" Fi SSD Subs with dual 2-ohm voice coils' i think thats right so far. BUT if i run the rockford amp and only run 750rms each to the supbs(when their rated at 800???) i should NOT get BP Power? so basically I only need BP Power if i'm going to run way more watts they they can handle......this is confusing and save money its only 20.00 for BP Power....... and i never plan on selling the subs either. All I want out of this setup is the hardest hitting subs I can fit in a blow through setup on a single cab ranger since i've nver seen anyone do it before on a ranger. And I might go t a db drag or two just for fun to see what I get.......

Okay so im gonna wanna go with the 12" dual 2-ohm vc's SSD's with the flatwind coils and BP Power???? I think i got it right lol if this should work out good plz let me know so I can order the subs, Thanks again guys. I appreciate it.

well the reason why they're going to build it is because they're cuttin the hole in the bed and cab and everything then rhino-lining the bed after the box and enclosure are done so it looks nice and clean and will be sealed up good.

also this is going to be a regular mono ported box 3/4" mdf that Car Toys is going to make for me. should I go with a round port or a square port and wat airspace do u guys recommend for 2 SSD 12"s 2.5 cu. ft? bigger?

would u recommend a flatwind or copper coil? what are the pros and cons for a setup like mine

Wow okay lol. sounds complicated. Do you think im goin the right path choosing FI for my subs the SSD's? i'm not tryin to go insane i just want some good bump for a single cab with a blow through design that u dont see that often around here.....
