Fi.SSD15's in sealed boxes???
|
Bronze Member Username: BoomtankPost Number: 13 Registered: Oct-06 | The Fi.Q15's say that recomended seald box size is 2-2.5 cu^ft, Where the Fi.SSD15's dont have a recommended seal box size. I was thinkking about running 2 ssd's but would they be really bad in a sealed box. Should i just go with the Q's. Little more pricy for 2 of the q's but are they worth it. Also im going to be running them off of the Orion2500d when i can get one but for now i heard the HiFonics Bxi2006 is a decent amp for 2 Fi's is this true? |

After a lot of research ive decided to go with just 2x15's and leave out the 10's so i bought a 92' Dodge stealth (same car for those who dont know) Which i will be makeing a box like i have now in the hatch and leaving the interior as is. her are a bunch of old pixs ill have more soon. www.cardomain.com/ride/2432248/2 The dual 15 box is 7cu^ft (3.5 per sub) sealed. Im gonna try and use some fiberglass this time and get around 8cu^ft ported for both my 15's. Subs firing up with about 2 inches for xmax(oneway) before they hit my hatch. And ports firing back. So will the 2 SSD's be fine ported or should i go with the Q's? |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7927 Registered: Aug-05 | if i were you, i wouldn't try to squeeze so much room out of my hatch that the subs are only 2 inches from the glass, that will sound like poo. the Q's will get louder and sound cleaner than the SSD's, but they also require more power. if i was going to do 2 Q's i wold give each 15" about 3-3.5 cubes ported to 30hz. with about 13-16 sq. in. of port per cube. the lower you tune the more port area you need to achieve the same loudness that will be one bigass box. |

I was only thinking to switch out the subs and get a bigger amp but use same style sealed box. |
