Need some help tuning subs

[HI LIFE 0]

I just got 2 Fi Q15's with the BP power and put them on an Audioque

2200d amp. I have listed the specs of the system to see if everything is tuned right? Because the subs just are not hitting as hard as I think

they should.

Specs:

Box made of 3/4 mdf. The box is 8 cuft NET tuned to 32hz with 106sqin of

port.

external dimensions-

43" wide

30" tall

17" deep

Port on the far left -

28.5" high

4" wide

keep port 4" wide throughout.

The right port wall is - 28.5" high x 11.5" deep

The port wall to the right of that is 6.25" deep x 28.5" high

And here is a pic of the box. Shizzzon came up with this idea for us and it turned out great, he helped me a lot in doing this system.

The amp is an Audioque 2200d and we ran one + of the amp to the + on coil 1

and ran the - of the amp to the - on coil 2, and ran a wire from the - on

coil 1 to the + on coil 2. We did this to both subs to run a 1 ohm load

because we got dvc 1 ohm subs from you.

We tuned the amp as, LPF set between 100-110, subsonic filter set at about

30 hz, bass boost set at 0, and the gain set at 3/4, and then set the volume

on the head unit to 27 and turned the remote bass control till the clipping

light started to flash with the bass.

We can all 0 gauge wire to the amp and have a 1900 amp battery.

Does all this seem to be right? Because the subs just arnt hitting like I

taught they would?

If you need any more info I can try and get it for you.

can u make a video of 30fps?

Also, describe what it isn't doing that you are expecting?

If you are lacking lowend, try tuning the subsonic down just a little but i don't think that's your complaint though.

The subs are in their recommended enclosure - 4 cuft per sub @32hz...

I would go over the box and make sure you have absolutely no air leaks. Check and see if the clip light ever comes on... If it's not coming on, u need to crank it up some more.

Also, can u make a vid of the clip light? I know that sounds stupid but maybe you are being to safe... I try to almost scare people from clipping their subs because i figure they still might turn it up just a little past what they should...

We can go from there.

Also, post where u are located and of our members on here may be able to personally help as well.

I will try and get a viedo at 30fps and the clip light.

The prob is you can hear the subs coming down the road from about a mile away but when you get in the truck they dont seem to hit as hard as you think they would.

I talked to the guys at Fi audio and they said to pop test the subs with a battery, check the voltage drop, and turn the LPF down to about 80.

The guys at FI also said the box and port where perfect for the setup so that is not the problem.

It is my little brothers truck that the system is in but he doesnt know how to get on here so I do it for him. He is in hoover, al about 15 south of bham. But he will be coming down to Auburn, AL to see me this weekend.

What Im thinking is that those subs are crushing the low notes (you said you can hear it a mile away but cant feel it in the cabin) and not doing to good on the high end, which is what you guys are wanting. Right or wrong?

Yea but it just wasnt sounding like it should insides the truck. We did some more tuning to the head unit and and I got him some songs that are killin the lows. And maybe the subs still have to break in a little and loosen up more.

just a thought... it seems like your goal is to be loud, why did you go with Qs? why not 2 BLs? but you said you have talked this all through with shizz.. so im sure you have already gone over this? just curious

[iputon326 9]

like you said the subs still need to break in.

just give it a little more time and itll start gettin louder.

did u play with the bass boast yet, it's there for a reason

Yeah to not use it (will cause distortion and eventually may ruin the sub if not used correctly), please dont use it.

Yeah, It's There For Ignorant People To Turn All The Way Up So They Damage Their Equipment, So They Have To Get It Repaired Or Replaced. Leave That Shit Off, Unless You Like The Smell Of Rotten Eggs.

DO NOT TURN THE BASS BOOST UP!! Nothing like the smell of burning voice coils and throwing your money away
