tmoney09 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Ok so here is the deal..I have a Nissan 370z so room is well very scarce. Before my Nissan i was running a 15 inch FI BL. After i bought the Nissan i bought a 12 inch Fi Neo Q because i just thought there was no way in hell i would fit the 15 in that small hatch. Being used to the 15 i hated the Neo Q it just wasn't satisfying to me. So I sold that and bought a 12 inch Fi BL and it was definitely better, not quite what I was hoping for but it was better. Months later comes a bright sunny day and out of boredom i just go to measuring to see if there was any way possible to get that 15 in there and believe it or not i came up with a box that would fit. Flip side to that though it that is bare bones minimum and there in no free space to make the box any bigger. After port displacement and speaker displacement it was around 2.95 cubes. I threw the FI in there and let her rip and believe it or not it sounds pretty darn good. In this car the enclosure is directly behind my head so it's pretty loud. My Fi is getting old and i was looking to upgrade. It did well on my hifonics brutus 2400 but i recently upgraded to the soundqubed 2200 and it seems to be a bit much for the FI (this sub is like 5 years old and has been through hell). So i was looking at the hdc4 2000 watt sub as an replacement. Seems to be a perfect match for the 2200 amp but iv'e read that it's a stiff sub and i'm concerned that if the sub is as stiff as people have said then being in a smaller enclosure may be a problem. Have any of you tried one of these in such a small enclosure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Soundqubed like larger enclosures. I would not put it in anything smaller than 4.0 cubes. Also port area will be key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I second the 4+ cubes net for a Soundqubed 15. Mine personally loved being in a little over 5 cubes even which is very large for a 15.

tmoney09 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Darn..how do you think the 12 inch hdc4 would do..I hate having to use a 12 just doesnt seem to have the thump of a 15..when I had the FI BL 12 I had it in a pretty small box too..maybe it would do way better in the box I have my 15 in???♂️?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 That would be big for a 12. What a bout a DC level 4 they like smaller boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoney09 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'll have to look it up. Not to familiar with DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoney09 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 So I've looked at some dc subs. The level 4 is only rated for 1400 rms. I saw that the xl is rated for 2200 rms. Seems the xl would be more ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
