8 Fi Bls Enclosure..

[Neo_frog]

The specs say for a ported enclosure, the 10" Fi BL needs .5 - 1.2...

If I did eight of them on a wall, I seriously only need 9.6 cu.? That sounds ridiculous. It would almost be hard to build that small! And do they really take 1000W RMS? What's the * for on the website?

.5 is i think theile small perameters lol dont do it that wouldnt be as loud your right might even blow em lol

[Neo_frog]

I figured. But does anybody know the 'real-life' application? These numbers just don't work.

Id go larger, for SPL maybe 1.5- 2cf each, and a large port?

[AI James]

if your looking at only giving them 1k each id throw them in 1.75 cubes per driver

I would say 1.5 to 2 per. Smaller boxes need more power to push them. 1000 watts you should go for box size effiency. I will ask Scott tomorrow what he thinks a good # for the power should be. For best answer I ask the sub designer FTW.

Ok...that sounds like a better number.

With that, I'm gonna build it about 16cu internal before port and drivers. I haven't been up to speed to calculate port tuning, but I would have max front face port dimensions of 12x12. I want to tune to 33hZ.

Could someone point me in the right direction for port tuning?

Alright thanks!

Love the sig.

theres a port calculator on carstereo.com

Here's what i came up with: 16cu. and 15x15x22.5 port

I guess I could reduce to 12x12x12, but I apparently wouldn't have enough port area.

I don't think this will work...I need to make the box bigger. I just don't want to sacrifice sound for the box to work. I gotta make it about 20cu at least before displacement for proper fit... But each sub would get 2.5 with that.

Reason is, my front face must be 36x36 for all subs to fire forward.
