FI BTL 18 fully loaded DAMN!!!
:scpimp: ok not expecting everyone to know what a fi btl is but now you have been informed haha
holy shit this this is effin crazy!! it weighs like 70lbs and can handle 2000w RMS!!! New box on its way. so excited to hear this bad boy!! gonna be a long break in tho the spider wont move at all... pics will be up tomorrow!!:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: |
Sounds good man, get them up! Box specs? What all have you done for electrical? Those things are power hungry! Is this the newest BTL-N2 or the old style? I'm pumped to get some reviews on these. :)
|
yeah i heard of those they beat nuts!
|
Haha it's all good. I'm surprised they've kept the new neo pricing to just $20.00 more. Those BTL's though can take a beating. I have a buddy that runs his on 3k daily. Are you planning on using the mrp-2000? Big box tuned low?

|

|
very clean motor man

its possible. dampening sheets |
Damn, that's gonna be a fun build! lol My max dimensions I came up with were 37 wide, 16.5 tall, and 20 deep. She fit REAL snug for me. (When trying to go in from the trunk) Ended up being 4 cubes after all displacement. I will just say GOOD LUCK! :thumb: You'll figure it out. Worst case, try to get as much space as possible, then just compensate with more power down the road. You got the dual-1 option so you could throw a couple mono-blocks on each channel. :p We'll see how she does on the 2k+ first. An aero port would help save you some internal volume as well. Here's my 4ft^3 box in snug:

thats sick!! what subs you runnin?
|
^^^^ nice cashdollar
|
one thing tho our cars sound so much better with port facing back sub up!! and you will kill your amp being mounted to the box i saw 2 1000/1's go that way all of a sudden your amps just start goin crazy!!
|
i always lowered my back seats, they sounded real nice like that

Right now just a single 15" DC Audio Level 4XL on my Crescendo 3KWP. Right now she's only seeing about 2000ish. I had her on 3k for a competition then turned her back to 2K until I get some new batteries. Right now i'm probably sitting on a 144 @ 41Hz. The box is SO inefficient. (the guts of it, i tried to change a few things around with bracing/false walls/etc. Tuned at 32Hz and peaking at 41Hz should be a hint. :/..) New build in the works including getting rid of the 15" and adding some XS Power. :) I'm hoping for at least a 147 and some mini hairtricks from the trunk by next season. Quote:
P.S. My last name is Cashdollar and my girlfriend at the time wanted to help, so I figured what the Hell and let her make the name tag. I'm tuned into this build for sure man. Keep us updated here! |
^^ haha oh really? thats a bad ass last name! lol and tell her i give her props on the sticker. i like it haha.

thanks its only got 80k!! not for long tho average about 4k a month and i dont drive it for work lol |
Quote:
Haha thanks, and i'll let her know. It's actually on a piece of 1/8" balsa wood. I hit it with the same texture spray I used on the box. Put two coats of white on top of that. Gave her a brush with some black paint and she free-handed it. Then four penny-nials in the corners and she was on. I think it turned out nice as well. :beerchug: |
Quote:
haha cool yeah thats like... new clean from what it looks like in the vids. :coolio: |
Quote:
haha damn well she did a good job thats for sure, oh and i appreciate how you liked my picture for AOTM. :lol: |
Back on-topic. We are blowing up Aleromod. lol This place is always so dead anymore... There better be a build log for this. I really want to see how you figure out your box.

hahaha yeah very true! |
oh i will do ill try and make a vid of most shit and pics of everything else and heres a lil teaser of what a w7 can do lol not to mention what this btl will do
![]() |
Oh poor stock piece of shit. lol I can't believe it was taking that much pressure to do that!
|
:haha: :lol:
|
you should have heard the rattle that was making :| i thought i effin blew my sub!! i was trippin balls and i open the trunk every sounds good...so im scratching my head a lil thinkin WTF so i decide to rip apart the rear deck... nothing loose so bump some shit and it was hittin the fabric on the top so hard there was a rip in it haha so had to cut it open to see what had happened and got a good laugh so currently on fronts and got tweets in the back thats it thinkin about puttin 5 1/4 in the sides instead of the read deck not like i need them in the trunk to reflex the bass from them
|
to top it off it isnt blown if you hold the tweet it sounds great!! glued it up and using it in the garage in an old 6x9 box lol
|
so im thinking about 38x15x24 and its 5.95cf before bracing but im thinking im gonna use 1" with a 4x15 port still doin more measuring and math ill be on in a bit to let u know what i come up with
|
Quote:
LOL this happend to my stock 6x9. i laughed and then smashed it in the driveway. i want to see how this 18 will fit in our cars. ill be upgrading my audio as well within the next month |

If you are using 1" wood i'm coming up with a port length of 32 inches to achieve a 32Hz tuning. You're gonna have to make your port a bit skinnier in order to achieve the length to area ratio you want to get your tuning since 32 inches is gonna be impossible to get when the box is only 24 deep. Either way you are looking just over 4ft^3 after all displacement. This Torres calculator is about as good of a tool as you can get when building a box. :) ![]() Edit: If you were to go with a port of 4H X 10W X 15L you will get 31.95Hz and 5.22ft^3 AFTER all displacement. :) |
Quote:
yea i effed up the ports gonna be 4x13 still effin around |
this is what im doing i think i hope to god it fits!!!
