RedJay Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Does anyone have any experience with a Fi SSD in a sealed box? I've never owned a Fi but know that they're solid. I'd love to get a 10" Q but I dont have room to mount it in my truck. The downfiring box I have has 6.5" from the outside bottom of the box to the inside top. The SSD has a mounting depth of 6", including the thickness of the wood. Is there enough room to make this work? Does the SSD have a pole vent? And if it does is .5" enough space for it to perform well? Box is .95 ft^3. Sub displacement is .12". Fi suggests between .6-1ft^3 for airspace so I'd be right in the middle. Powered by an AQ1200d. Would this work? Quote 2007 Black Tahoe AudioQue HDC3 15" AQ 1200d
fox_racin4 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 there is no pole vent on the SSDs i have mine in 1.1 ported and they seem to like it! Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole
CleanSierra Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 They have the high QTS option when building them, I'd order it like that. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Skullz Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Don't get the high QTS option as your only limited to sealed boxes and can even make selling one with that option tough down the road if the need ever arouse. Going for a sealed box for the time being will be ok till you can get a really good design to fit or another vehicle. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
CleanSierra Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 I wasn't looking into the future, but obviously that makes sense. It can still perform just fine without that option in sealed I imagine Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
RedJay Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 What does the QTS option offer? How does that affect it in a sealed box and how would it make that much of a difference in resale? Quote 2007 Black Tahoe AudioQue HDC3 15" AQ 1200d
DustinBolt Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Before you buy the sub make sure to contact fi about the mounting depth, i recently bought a fi ssd 12 and my sub is closer to 7 inches when it states its 6.5 inches on the website!

RedJay Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks for that. That'd really suck if that happened! Quote 2007 Black Tahoe AudioQue HDC3 15" AQ 1200d
