I am looking at making a Home Theater setup... I am thinking about 2 Fi Q 18's in a ported box.
My question is: How good would it sound good on the lows if it's underpowered. I don't want 2kw rms in my living room, for obvious reasons. So, would they hit the lows nice on 300 watts each? How about 500 watts each? I saw
and it seems to be very nice at 350 watts rms. So how would two sound with the powers mentioned above?Please remember this is a HOME THEATER system. It is totally different from a car, so I don't need the same amount of wattage.

if you already have 16 ga, then just double up on your wires.. if that makes you happy
NO, I'm planning. I plan to have 16 for my speakers.
-
why not just get 12 gauge? they are qs you arent going to be running 10kw through them. Alot of people over due it on the speaker wire for no reason.
Because my speaker wire is going to be 16... So I think my sub wire should be bigger...
-
They should fit 8. You might have to trim it a little.
Should I get 8 and possibly trim it, or just get 10?
-
Well, I am in the planning stages right now. I want to get 1 or 2 Fi Q 12's. I am looking at wiring right now. Will they take 8 AWG? 10 AWG? Please answer so I can continue my planning.
-
okay.. I'll be "that guy". how do you stab somebody with that? it looks like an awkward ass angle but what the fuck do I know?
Well actually, I think it's for sticking in someone's stomach, and pulling up. Rip someone open real deep.

port noise galore
From what I understand, port noise is caused by not enough port area for your box size?
And I see where you got that. I made a mistake in listing my specs. I didn't double check the specs. I listed specs for the 10".
The real area is 2 cubic ft. So would I still have port noise if I used 24 - 32 sq in of port?
-
Do a kerfed port, it will sound grr-eat and it is sexy
That is a good idea.
bend the port...
I could do that, but the port is long. It is somewhere between 2 and 3 feet. So there would be like 3 bends.
-
The issue I have is the crossovers make for some crazy final ohm numbers, so wiring is a bitch.
I've always wondered that... What would that come out to for the 6.5 components?
-
Why not do a slot port? You wouldnt have to go as long if you went wider and taller. Also i dont think those triangle ports are gonna sound good at all. I wouldnt use that idea imo
Everyone has a slot port. I am using this in my house, so I want it to look good. They are supposed to have 12 - 16 in of port fer sq. ft.
The port I listed would add up to almost exactally 13; more specifically 12 4/5.
-
That is my idea for a box for a Fi Q 12. The triangles are 4 X 4, so they have an area of 8 sq in each, for a total of 16 inches of port.
The problem is that when I calculated the port lenth for tuning to 32 hz, it is like a few feet long. This box will be about 1 foot wide and deep, and 1 1/2 feet tall. Is there any way to make this port, or do I have to scrap the idea?
-
if you dont have dimensions, why are you trying to draw up a box design on calculators?
is it just me or does that seem retarded? or am i confused as to what you just said...
I think your confused... I know that I need 10 cubes for the sub. I don't know how much the port takes. I need to tune that10 cubes to 28hz. Once it is tuned there, it is actually a 15 cub box from the outside. I didn't design a box because I needed to add the size of the port.
-
In the calculator I get 4.34 for 6 X 24 X 40. That tunes to 27.88, which is close enough. After sub and port wood disxplacement, it's going to be damn close to 15 cubes. I have a very rough box designed (dimensions in paint so I remember the shape).
-
and that is correct. with your port dimensions to get 160 sq inches, port volume is about 5 cubes just to get a tuning of just under 40 hz. with a net volume of 10 cubes. so a gross volume of 15 cubes is needed
Well that's bad, because I'm trying to get 28HZ.
-
Oh my God! I just realized that a 10^3ft box with that port and sub displacement is damn near if not over 15 cubes! I can't possibly be right, can I?
-
I think I've got it... I set the Desired Net Volume to 10^3ft. and the port to 6 X 24. 40in. long gets me 27.88HZ., so I guess that's about right?
-
I downloaded the calculator... And I want to smash my head in with a mallet.
I don't have dimensions... Because I need to add in the size of the port to see just how to fit it in...
-
I found a nice port length calculator on the internet... I just want to double check to make sure that it calculated right.
Box: 10^3ft. (10 cubic feet)
Port: 160^2in. (160 square inches)
Tuning: 28HZ
Port Length: 40in. long (39.59416767123559)

Anyplans for this one steve?
Hit em with a little black and yellow man.
i will pass on adding any yellow to this car but i respect your opinion if black and yellow is YOUR style......hook your car up with it! i wont mind a bit
Yeah... Yellow wouldn't look very good on this car IMO. I think that blue would be perfect on this car... But the black looks awsome too. It's your car... I'm just throwing out ideas...
And P.S.:
You NEED to take this thing to a track! You said you would, but we don't have a video yet!

Have it there for future upgrades:)
Damn straight!

Well, I guess I can get the T1500-1bdCP and just dial it back... I just fear the "Birth Sheet" and it's power ratings... If I get a 1500 watt amp that can put out 2000 watts, I'll have to dial it back to a little over half... I guess it's always better to have some excess there than to have not enough...
-
I am looking into 2 12" Fi Q subwoofers. I am wondering what a save daily RMS Wattage is. I am looking into either the T1000-1bdCP or the T1500-1bdCP; one each for both subs. I am wondering if somewhere in the range of 1250 - 1500 Watts RMS would be ok for these subs, or should I stick to 1000 watts?
-
I am getting two Fi subs. I would liek different colors, but I want them to look good together. They will be apart, but in the same room. Can you huys list some color combos that go good together?
lol..
wtf is the difference?
And Nick, you made it way to easy.... put all of them in 1 place, and can click on each one and make it bigger.
Lets turn this thread around.
Hows my 15 looking nick?
How Would This Sound?

Cool, but I'm already sold on the 18's. I don't wanna deal with those stupid t-line boxes. I just want a simple ported box that is tuned low (18 hz im thinking right now) that will sound clean. So does anyone know how a Fi Q 18 performs when underpowered?
