mtxcivic07 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I used to own (3) 12" JL W3v3s powered by (1) MTX 7801 Amp and ran them @ 900 watts in a custom box tuned to 36 hz in a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I want to do (2) 12" FI BL's. I am kind of hesistant because my JL's were extremely loud and I don't want to buy something that is going to be less loud just because thats not my style and I couldn't stand paying so much money and then they turn out to be less loud... My question is do you fellas think that the (2) 12" BL's, each powered by it's own MTX Elite TE1501d @ 2 ohms (around 1300 watts or more most likely per sub) be as loud or louder as the (3) JL's??? I have heard that FI's get extremely loud, but I need opinions. They will be put into a custom box tuned to 32 hz around 2.5 cubes per sub. Most likely installed into a 2003-2004 Honda Accord Coupe. Thanks in advance fellas. I look forward to hearing your opinions. Quote 18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #...

Aaron813 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think that they will be as loud if not louder the reason being is that yes you jl's had an open area but now you are talking about alot more power but then again it is going in a trunk.

Jman08 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 bl's should be louder in the proper enclosure. Quote Youtube.com/J Hutch22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait to get this underway.... it is going to be a little while, but I am going to try and be patient. I don't want to spend money and find out that I could have gotten something better for just a little more money. I am going to go with these amps for sure... As for the subs are concerned....its either going to be (2) FI BL 12's or (2) FI BL 15's.... I would like to go with the 15's because they are going to give me alot more output and can probably take a little more watts, but I am worried about space... I'm thinking to change my mind on my car choice again though.... I was looking for a 2003-2004 Honda Accord Coupe, but now looking for something like a 2001-2002 Accord Coupe because the trunk size in these things are a lot bigger and it seems that I will be able to get a bigger box in the 2001-2002 which would probably allow me to get (2) 15's in there...... Check out the pictures and they will explain themselves.... 2005 Honda Accord Coupe Trunk..... 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Trunk..... Let me know what you think fellas......

littleitaly1990 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 BL's will be way louder, especially 15s....your choice on the car though... Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the727kid Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 From looking at your car I would try out some 15" Qs with BP power sealed. My trunk is larger than yours and I am starving my BLs for airspace, and since you won't be giving the ton of power to them, they won't get as loud as potentially they could be. Really hard to say becuase going from a open area to a trunk decrease dBs a lot. I would think it would be louder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galacticmonkey Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Go with 4 SSD 12s in a sealed box, about 7 cubes or as big as you can fit. With 600-750rms each that would slam in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have more than enough power and then some. Quote 18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtxcivic07 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 As soon as I get the car I am going to get some measurements and fill you fellas in.... But I already do have 2 plans for the box......(2002 Accord Coupe) One would be subs up, port back (don't say trunk cars don't sound good that way, because I did an install in one of my friend's 2000 civics who moved away w/ JL W3V2 15's like that and it absolutely pounded) If I decide to do it this way I would most likely make the box 14" tall (give or take) x 30" wide (give or take) x 35" deep (give or take) = ~6.91 cubic feet before bracing And if someway the 15's will fit subs back, port back.... I am thinking to make the box 16.5" tall x 30"wide (give or take) x 30" deep (give or take) = ~7.05 cubic feet before bracing. I am going to be constructing the box out of 3/4" MDF with plenty of bracing inside.. Opinions?? Quote 18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #...
