Original Fi Q recone request

Recommended Posts

Hi

I got a pair of the original 15 fi Q (without any options) in 2007. Now I'm planning to use it as my home theater sub. Would it be possible to build a recone (15") that can have a response between 20-100hz and power handling is between 800-1000w. Each sub must have a dual 4 ohm impedence. This sub in mainly for sub duty so I will be looking at strong lows. Other details would be:

i. Both sub are placed in a ported 10 cu.ft tuned at 20hz

ii. Will be powered by a crown xls2000 PA amp

iii. Mostly for home theater (movies) where lots bass as low as 15hz

What wold be the cost drop in 2 sets of recones for this

thanks

You aren't going to get a roll up to 100Hz with a box tuned to 20Hz.

Most home theater applications start cutting things off on the top end in the 50-55ish range or so.

Not a problem reconing them, standard recones will work on the website fine (you need dual 1ohm coils). The problem you are going to run into is you need some sort of other speakers to cover the 60-100hz and up range. A subwoofer especially in a home is not made to do that.

and don't waste your money on a PSI recone if he gives you some stupid shit saying that you can achieve the 20-100hz range. Get something else to do the work for the upper range.

Thought PSI were the way to go...?? See alot of ppl talking bout them..

So it would be better to get a oem recone as opposed to a PSI recone..?

Ive read alot that psi overrates their products and suspension starts to sag after a while..
