M80 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I had a guy at a shop tell me that he never heard of DC or FI and that i should get a RF T2 subwoofer bc they were better bc they had better specs...but said he knows about meades system which had FI's but still swore that he never heard about FI. He also said that its better yo use brands that people have heard of like rf and jl.hahahah EDIT: but thats not saying much since i own rf subs but they were my first subs Lol are u talking about the car audio shop in Palatka?

bkolfo4 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Port area should be based on box volume. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

kirill007 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Sigh...facepalm. I don't know if its the cold or our seperation from the rest of America that adds to some of our...more stupid rumors. Guy had mattress stuffing in his box because, his science explained to me, the loudness of the subs in a box depend on the soundwaves vibrating off of the inner walls of the box. So putting all the stuffing inside fooled the sound waves into thinking they were in a larger box since it took longer to bounce off the walls, meaning the soundwaves vibrated more and longer making it louder and more powerful..... You do know why people use polyfill?right? It makes an enclosure seem larger, thus the sub will play lower and maybe louder. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Hes actually correct lol. The poly fill does slow down the sound waves, kinda like when people say it makes the box seem larger But I dont know about it being louder and more powerful. That all depends on the driver, power, and enclosure. DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 JUST HEARD THIS 25 MINUTES AGO! My friend just got 2 15's installed and a rockford t500 amp. The dealer guy said that he can't play ANY bass testers or lil john on his system because of the bass LOL! And from what my friend told me the guy also said that the t500 puts out 1000w! I looked at the birth sheet at it's rated 659.1@1ohm :lol: :lol: EDIT: The dealer also said he can't use his Punch EQ knob unless he's showing off AHAHAHAH! EDIT2: I also hear engine noise coming from the subs and I told my friend those RCA's are too close to the power wires... He said they said they are fine and I look back where the amp is and the RCA's are zip tied to the power,remote,ground Rest In Peace mother.

raolito1980 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I went to a local "pro" shop, initials C.T.'s..Anyway I asked about a custom enclosure. I told them I wanted it for a Fi BL 15. They were like where is it at? I was like I havent ordered it. They were like 'dont because when there custom enclosure maker finished with another Fi 18" box that the 18" sounded flappy!!' That 18"s are no good cause they dont sound good inside a vehicle. I was like okay. I left and never looked back.
