Got Fi Q 15" Want somethung louder (DC?) but can't upgrade power, T1500.1

It was my first box, and I really don't like hearing that I should remake it...very saddening. Anybody wanna buy a box for a 15"? LOL

Port can't be changed. It's a 3" aero and I couldn't even use the foot long pipe it comes with because my port had to be super short. It's just a flared end with a coupler to the other flared end.

1 3" aero for a 15 box? Holysmallportareabatman!

[Team_DC-Derrick]

with as much room as the aero took up... why not slot port it?

There is your problem mate, you need a ton more port area. Let someone on here design you a new box, because it sounds like you are in need of a rebuild

[Robert8252]

What's your port? Is it one 3" aero port? There's your problem. You need a new box. I would do ~4 cubes net volume, 65^inches of port area and tune to 33-36hz. Torres calculator will help you make a box design and plenty of people can be willing to help design it correctly.

Damn, so nobody recommends the aero? LOL my first box! Fuuuuuuuuuccccccc

[Supercharged DCs]

Your aero is incredibly small...

Inb4 that's what she said

[monkeyleg]

Hahaha thanks. I screwed up. I bought it before I bought the sub or made the box. OK I`m just gonna build a new box. Just need to know if I should do Aero or slotted.

I don't think it's that anyone is necessarily against Aero ports. The problem you have is that you just have way too little port area. I have a Q15 and I tuned it to 27 Hz with a slotted port because I love the lows. That small of a port area you are practically choking your sub. I know it sucks to have to redo the box but it makes the biggest difference having the correct port area, enclosure, and tuning to get the output you are looking for.

I trust you guys so I will do it, but obviously I suck at this. I can build it to be indestructible, but I guess I don`t know the theory behind it. I played some test tones and the high 40hz`s were the loudest. J-Lane, with yours tuned so low, where do you peak?
