    New System not as loud as I assumed or see on YouTube

    I thought I did. I have 47.25 sq inches of port area.

    Can you even get 5 cubes in the trunk of a car without building it inside it? The external dimensions are 31.5 wide, 16 high and 19 deep, a single inch in any area would cause it not to fit in the trunk. This box almost wedged. I think I'm limited there and my builder accommodated for that with...

    Ah ok. The guy who built it had rave reviews. Built out of birch with bracing and looked real good. Can anyone recommend a box builder so I can compare stats and see where this one is wrong? I need to see if my box builder is a member here to maybe post a rebuttal because I paid good money but...

    That's a mature thing to state.... May I ask what woofers you run so I can determine where I'm at on the fail meter?

    I see, so just so I'm 100% clear, you're officially stating that Fi does not know what type of enclosure is necessary for their subwoofer? Or am I misunderstanding?

    Ok, but how? It's built 100% to the spec on Fi's website.

    There's only one splitter, and it's at the head unit connected to the sub out because it's only one RCA, can I even do it without the Y? Using only one rca but 2 in the amp? And I have 48 sq inches of port area, which is basically right where Fi tech specs ask it to be. My box guy just made what...

    It isn't. But when you watch a sub flex on the same type of box and amp, you can tell that yours is no where near the same movement.

    Bass boost not on, and I turned my box inward because I have a spoiler on my Charger and the sub is breaking the spoiler at the base, so I turned it around until I could get some Second Skin to help reduce the vibrations that are cracking the spoiler.

    Correct. I have 1/0 from the battery for the power and ground into a 1/0/4 reducer running to the amp. $120 worth of power/ground/reducers etc.

    Well, I set the gains with the DD-1 which basically means I'll never put out 1600W until I am at the volume I set it at, which is 47. The gain is no where near halfway and realistically probably not even 1/4 up. I think I am going to re-set the gains with a multimeter to 40V which is what I...

    A $400+ Sony Headunit is "trash"? What? "Trash" puts out 2V, my HU puts out 4.4 and yes, it only has ONE RCA Sub out that people on this very forum told me to split when I inquired.

    I used the DD-1 to set the gains. I used the 40Hz -10db tone at volume 47 on the headunit. The gain is barely up but that's what the DD-1 had me do.

    Purchased a Fi BL 15 D2 and a Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP. Birth sheet has the amp at 1640W RMS at 1 ohm and 14.4V. YouTube videos of the Fi BL 15 with varying types of amps, not many over the rated power of 1500W, show it potentially flexing doors/windshields/etc. I know every vehicle is...
