Ssd/q

[Brick2560]

Okay so the new car was a no-go (sorry for wasting everyone that helped me times)

But now I'm back to working in a restricted area under the back seat of my pickup.

I'm looking at a Fi SSD or a Q, I know the Q's are the sound quality subs of Fi, but I was wondering if anyone has worked with the SSD's

also, I know the Fi subs can take alot more, as its rated at 800 RMS, could I run it off of a 1000 watt or even a 1200 watt amp safely?

Oh, and for reference, I'm building a custom ported box that is 1.8 cuft., which is what Fi suggests for the ported enclosure on the website, but I'm wondering how much port area I should use, and also how to tune the box.

yup, they are good, i wouldnt go over 900rms without adding cooling

this is for a 12" right?

12*1.8= 21.6sqin

14*1.8= 25.2sqin

16*1.8= 28.8sqin

and since it will be in the smallest box recommended i wouldnt do more than 25sqin

tuning is decided by the length of the port into the box

u can give me or any other member who chimes in ur max dimensions for ur box and we'll give u a design if that makes it easier

I have the design, I'll post it here in a minute, I'm just needing port dimensions

[Brick2560]

Edit, I'm looking at 32 sqin of port, is that to much?

Edit #2: I'm gonna go with a 10" Q...

Also, how do you upload files from google sketchup to photobucket?

You open the sketchup and take a screenshot of it by pressing the Print Screen button to the right of F12 and then go to paint and press ctrl + V and save it as a jpg or png and upload.

The port is 5x4x21, so I've got 24 sqin of port, is that enough, or should I go 5x5x21 which would be around 30 sqin of port?

two problems mounting depth is enough the sub take 6.5" but really you'll need 7" b/c of the pole vent.... the other problems is your need more room the 3/4" of an inch for the sub to mount to isn't enough the sub will take atleast 1/2" for the gasket and surround and soon as it hits it will slam the cone against the floor....so I would say you need atleast 2" there to keep the sub from hitting the floor.

well shit, thats a big problem, cuz thats the biggest that box can be, raising the seats isnt an option and I've only got 7" to work with, so I'll be needing to find a different sub, any suggestions? I need it 10" and could handle 1000 RMS, at least thats what I'd like, I could handle a little less, so yeah, thats a bummer.

[wL<3bass]

so you need a sub with a 4.5" to 5" mounting depth able to handle 1000wrms.......good luck with that I would look for two 10s or 8s....
