[QUOTE="irish350, post: 6543129, member: 574489"] So, my current (and recently melty) setup is a hifonics bxi2608 and an fi q 12". I had been running this setup at 4 ohms (800w, per hifonics), but i cranked the boost knob and blew the sub (stood up to an alpine m1005 and a kicker 1200.1 previously). Ive gotten in touch with the guys at Fi and it sounds like 1) the q isnt made to withstand the kind of power i wanna give it (id like to throw 1 ohm, 2600ish watts down), and 2) none of their subs really like being in a sealed box. Where that leaves me now is with a box that needs to be ported, a sub that needs to be purchased, and an amp that needs to be feeding a properly matched driver. I need to know if ill be able to port this box with any degree of accuracy, or if thats out of the question (and i have to leave it sealed), what kind of sub i should be looking at to handle that power and still sound good (one thing i loved about the q). I dont remember the volume of the box (1.8-2.5cu), but im thinking the irregular shape will be my downfall here (i think theres space to expand if it can be tuned). Disregard the ugliness, its fiberglassed, then was bondoed, then foamed in prep for vinyl, then it was decided that the contours of the box would only allow for carpet (well see). What do yous guys think?
