BL 12 or 15?

Recommended Posts

Since both the Fi BL 12 and BL 15 are 1000 watts RMS, and I have about 1200 watts to play with, which should I get? Would there be a huge difference?

And on a completely unrelated note, how do you guys go about bolting down your enclosures in your trunk? I have a 06 Sentra and below the carpet in the trunk is the spare with a piece of cardboard over it. Now there is about a foot of exposed metal running down both sides of the trunk. Just curious about how it's done.

*Guess I should have asked first, will a box for a 15" BL fit in the trunk of a Sentra?

Thanks.

15 has more cone area so it will move more air if your going for loud this one will be louder not sure how much but it will be louder

Only you would know that. This is not a Sentra forum. lol

I would doubt it, but go measure your trunk and come back.

Just measured and got these numbers. (Not exact by any means)

39" wide (between the wheel wells)

29" deep

15" tall

only way it would fit is if you had it upfiring or down firing, considering this is going in a trunk I would do down firing so your trunk lid doesn't rattle as much.

But you may gain or lose output from down firing, only way to know is to test it out. So a 12" facing the rear may be a better way to go.

Alright, that's fine. The 12" was the original plan anyways.

Building the box scares me though.

Cool, got it.

Any tips on building this box.

I've researched a lot. Done the calculator, etc. Yet people say don't use the calculator.

I've heard that I can get someone to design/build a box for me somehow?
