Default Decided to go with FI Audio

Ok so I decided to go with FI, for my subs.

Im using the MTX 7801 (1200wRMS x 1 @ 1ohm)

So question I have from someone that has used their woofers before. What size sealed box is going to be needed for their BL series 10? It doesnt have a recommended size. If I cant go sealed with this sub I might try to get 2 SSD 10's, but feel I would be underpowering them a little bit (About 200w a piece)

BL are kinda beefy and do better ported than sealed

if you trying to do BL sealed i suggest emialing or calling Scott at FI to discuss your plan

get his input

Q or SSd are better sealed

if you trying to throw 2 subs on 1200 watts that is not enough for 2 each FI subs


you'll need double that to get full benefit form a pair of FI's

i am also fairly sure that his subs are DVC 1 or DVC 2

you would need 2 x DVC 4 ohm to see a final 1 ohm load , if your doing 2 subs off 1 amp

So do you think that getting 1 Q10 would be pretty sufficient 350Zspl? Q10 also takes 1000wRMS just like the B.

I didnt see that they made a 10Q when I was looking. On their main page it shows that they only make a 12 and 15. I guess looking around a little bit more could have helped

Yea I wanna go FI for sure. They are based out of Las Vegas So I can save even more by going and picking up my sub from their plant. Plus any warranty issues are going to be easier to deal with

And Yea I just saw they had a Q10. On their main speaker page it says they only make a 12 and 15, so I didnt see it before.
