15" Fi BL Build ***NEW BUILD***PICS


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I got a 15" Fi BL D2 and now its just in a pretty decent prefab box tuned to like 40Hz. I have a autotek SS1900.1D amp playin on it at 1 ohm. I am gonna be starting a build on a box for this sub and for my car. The amp is just temporary for now, hope to be going to RF or maybe a crescendo 3.5k for sub amp. havent yet decided on a mids/high amp or speakers yet. I know I can only have 5.25" in the front doors and 6x9s in the back deck. i would like the fronts to be components, and have the rear deck speakers be matching. First off i have a few questions.

The box I have designed up for my car is 4.52 sq ft and has (4)four 3" aero ports. it is tuned at 32Hz. Dimensions are 17"H x 34'W x 18.5"D.Sub will be mounted on the 17" wall and so will the ports.

First question, is the port area too small for a single 15" BL? (remember im using aeros ports)

Should I modify my box and design to allow for (4) four 4" aero ports? if so Would a port firing sideways into a wheel well would be my only option to avoid bends in the ports?

Like I said I got the autotek amp now which actually probably puts out over 1500rms prob close to 1700rms. Could i run a crescendo 3.5k at 0.5 ohms runnign two 15" Fi BL's?

Also my last question is more of a comment. i'm thinking RF for mids/highs and amp. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The 15" Fi BL in the prefab, as you can see I have the 8AWG wires already for the sub when I make my new box.

The Autotek Amp Do you guys think it does anything close to the rated 1900rms @1ohm

First steps in making my trunk a solid piece. Atleast one more can of GREAT STUFF and then sound deadener.

I mounted my new volt meter nicely in the cigarette ash tray, The door flap works nicely and completely hides the bright blue light late at night when I want it dark.

Big 3 and runs to back battery all done in 1/0AWG with three 300A fuses protecting everything. Car was just detailed a week ago so thats why engine bay has shinyness to it.

Not bad for a 2000 Buick. I know its 12 years old but it has 63000 miles on it, looks clean, and is great on gas. Which is good for me since I have to drive a lot for work.

Has anyone ever had problem with the rear deck making insane amounts of noise. It sounds kinda like the rear speaker houosing for factory speakers is loose but when i inspect its not. Could it be the sheet metal on my rear deck flexing badly. I know its not the sub.

So looks like I might be picking up a Sundown SAZ-2500. Could I safely run that at close to full volume on my BL or should I only give it around 1500-1700rms?

I'd let it have around 2k max, but that's just me.

I'm gonna hate

So my RF T2500-1 is on its way hopefully I will have it by tuesday...Next step is to buy an alternator, so far im thinking about the DC XP270, running a Kinetik HC1400 or 1800 under the hood and a HC2400 in the back, would any body choose a different brand of alt or batteries
