You can't change them into BL's.....they are different subs. You could see if BL softparts would fit in the motor and frame (or buy a new frame) but you wouldn't have BL's then, you would have VFL's with BL softparts. Whether or not the BL softparts fit depends on the dimensions and geometry of the motor, and whether or not it's actually a good idea depends on the dimensions and geometry of the motor as well as how strong the motor is which will affect the resulting T/S parameters.

If you want BL's, why don't you just sell the VFL's and buy some actual BL's?

You can not turn them into FI subs, you can use Fi softparts possibly as stated earlier but you will not have Fi subwoofers. You can slap Fi stickers on the dust caps too but they will still be VFLs. 10,000-20,000 watts is probably not a good idea for the VFLs or BLs either. Maybe a couple BTLs would be better?

No, you can't turn them into Fi's. You can try to turn them into VFL motors with Fi soft parts, but that's all it will be. And you will want to make sure the resulting T/S parameters and other performance aspects of the end product are appropriate for your intended purpose.

Bob didn't build those! They are SJA (Atomic) built drivers.
