DRauck Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 In the back of my jeep, I plan on putting a Fi BTL 18 in a box that is 17" in length. I know the Xmax is 28mm, which is roughly 1.1 inches. Is this still the case with the daily and HiXm coil options? I'm asking because the box, at 17 inches, will be within 3 or 4 inches of my tailgate and I'm worried the sub might hit the tailgate. Do you think I'll be alright, or do you think I should lower the length a little?

baaudio Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 as long as the box is mounted so it doesnt slide i say you're fine.

bassl0va Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 How much distance between the highest point on the surround and the tailgate will there be?

DRauck Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 With the SoloX 12 that's in there now, it's about 2.5 inches from the tailgate I think. I'm not sure how much difference the Fi BTL would make Quote 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen 12" Kicker SoloX Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate t20001bd Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Head Unit Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassl0va Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 It should he fine if it is 2.5"s, I don't think BTL's are able to get 5" peak to peak, they would bottom out first, or break something else. You should be fine. Quote My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.

OldsBoomer Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 It should he fine if it is 2.5"s, I don't think BTL's are able to get 5" peak to peak, they would bottom out first, or break something else. You should be fine. IIRC from talking to Nick i dont think they can bottom out the tinsel or the spiders will break first. and the BTL only has 28mm of xmax with the HiXm coil. The standard coil only allows for 18mm but you'll be fine just make sure your box in mounted ver well Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
