RedJay Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share 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.

CleanSierra Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJay Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share 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?

DustinBolt Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share 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!
