Which Fi to get?

[Dangerous10k 0]

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

18 inch Q sealed

at 27 hrz no wonder your not hitting any high bass notes

Yeah a Q wud be straight ported too..

But ive heard good things about Q's sealed..

What are the box dimensions?

I would look at changing that tuning which will add net volume.

You could run an 18 or a pair of 15's in that airspace.

yup, ive done 18Q both sealed and ported. its up to you though

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

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

id retune to like 32-34hz and go bl it would love the power and hit the highs nice. dont go wider on the port just shorten it.

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

[slim2fattycake 85]

with your plans and upgrade, i'd go with the BLs.

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

[slim2fattycake 85]

same power, similar enclosure size and tuning? cone area wins?

[Dangerous10k 0]

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?

[slim2fattycake 85]

sure. i thought you were going to get 2000 watts for 1 sub.

[Dangerous10k 0]

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