Professional Series Ported 15" Enclosure Fi Car Audio NEO 3.7 15 · Single 15" Ported enclosure

Fi publishes ported figures only for the NEO line, and with a Qts of 0.37 a sealed box would be overdamped. The slot is gated at 2500 W, Fi's own rating: the channel runs 22.2 m/s and the mouth 16.7, and the cone peaks at 11.8 of its 34 mm with the subsonic filter in place. Fi's own ported recommendation for its 15 inch NEO motors is 3 to 5 cubic feet. Tuning is chosen for in-car response rather than an anechoic curve: a vehicle adds roughly 12 dB per octave below about 45 Hz, and this tuning is where that sum comes out flattest across 25 to 60 Hz.

Every driver is run through the Performance Optimized wedge and down-fire before this chassis; the Professional box is where a driver lands when that smaller envelope, 30 inches wide and 18 inches deep with a triangular side port, cannot give it what it needs at its rated power. The NEO 3.7 15 does not fit that envelope at all: no tuning, width or depth inside it carries an 11.00 inch deep 15 inch driver at 2500 W. This box is the chassis with the width, depth and port to carry it. An under-ported box does not fail quietly. Air speed at the mouth rises with power; past the chuff line the flow turns turbulent and the port is audible on every note. The turbulence also chokes the port, so the box behaves as if it were tuned higher than it is, loses output near tuning, and lets the cone travel further below tuning than the design allows. This chassis is a full-size front-firing box on a 2.25 inch baffle built from three 3/4 inch layers with the woofer flush-mounted in the outer layer, a Fi Car Audio logo acrylic, and a port and excursion budget checked at 2500 W. It carries a 2 year warranty, against 1 year on the Performance Optimized lines.

Fi Car Audio does not publish the mounting hole locations for the NEO 3.7 15, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships. The threaded insert kit comes in the box instead: inserts sized to the woofer, the correct drill bit, 2.5 inch allen-head screws, an allen key and woofer gasket tape. You set the inserts when you mount the woofer, and this box ships with one kit.

Yes, at 28 Hz, 24 dB per octave. Below tuning a vented box stops loading the cone and excursion runs away toward DC. With the filter in place this cabinet puts the Fi Car Audio NEO 3.7 15 at 35 percent of its usable travel at 2500 W.

Not one we can show you. We do not build a sealed enclosure for the Fi Car Audio NEO 3.7 15 and Fi Car Audio publish no sealed volume for it, so the Performance Graphs tab carries no ported-versus-sealed chart: the only sealed box left to plot would be this cabinet stuffed and sealed, which nobody would build, and a comparison against it would tell you nothing you could buy. What a vented box gives up is the region below tuning, where the cone unloads and the 28 Hz subsonic filter takes over; around 35.0 Hz the vent carries the load and cone travel drops to its minimum, which no sealed alignment can do.

It is a vertical slot beside the woofer, the full height of the cavity, 4.00 inches wide and 66.0 square inches. It runs 10.25 inches to the back wall and turns once along it for 17.75 inches; the fold costs about 1.5 Hz and the port is cut for it. The channel runs at 22.2 metres per second at 2500 W, 33 percent of its turbulence limit, and the mouth edges carry a 1/2 inch roundover so the air leaves the face at 16.7 metres per second against the 17 metres per second threshold where a slot starts to chuff.

73 lb, 36.00" W x 18.00" H x 18.00" D external. Every Professional cabinet is priced the same way, by its size: this one is 6.75 cubic feet outside. Delivery to the 48 states is inside the price; it ships as a 73 lb parcel and checkout adds nothing. Do not add polyfill; it ships dry on purpose.

No. This is an enclosure only, cut for the Fi Car Audio NEO 3.7 15 specifically: the 14.125 inch cutout, the 11.000 inch mounting depth allowance and the 3.04 cubic foot alignment all come from Fi Car Audio's published parameters. It fits both coil versions (D1 and D2), and the cabinet was checked against both. Bring your own driver.
