really? thats is?
still waiting for a good answer
AND BY THE WAY, how do any of you guys even know how much neo is going up? id like to see your distributor price sheets.
What is a good answer?
You want somebody to agree and say that Fi is ripping people off? Shit well if that's the case then DD is gettin you up the ass with no lube.
If you want to attack one company because of their pricing (the CHEAPEST company...cmon now) then you have to attack them all equally. If you dont like Fi Car Audio anymore, I'm sure your business will be welcome at Digital Designs. They have plenty of Neo for WAY MORE MONEY.
EDIT: Where's your price sheet to prove us all wrong homie?

Im gunna get a volt meter and probably just keep the gain down untill i can get another battery...
This. Honestly, I never understood how people can run all kinds of power on a stock electrical system and just watch their voltage drop down to 12, 11, even 10. Shit when I drop into the low 13's I get nervous.
When it gets bad, turn the volume down. I have a buddy that just watches his lights dim and rpm drop. It would make me sick to my stomach to know my equipment was slowing going down the drain.
To the OP, as long as you have a way of monitoring your voltage (and I hope you're smart enough to lower the volume when you see low numbers) then I don't see a problem.

It's a horrible, empty feeling isn't it?.....
J/k, being bass-less does suck though.
I keep turning my bass up on the stock stereo trying to get some kick out of it. Lol
I even considered buying a cheap amp just to run in the mean time.
I had the same feeling when I was addicted to heroine--I feel your pain.
Apparently drugs mess up your spelling as well.
Heroic women are very addictive...Gotta love a chick that can save the day.

He is obviously talking to 16k but you got a +1 on your post count. So mission accomplished I guess.
Lol.
I asked because...why would he ask someone with the screen name 16K who has Soundigital in his sig who ALSO has a build log posted where he shows the amp...So make sure you know what's goin on before you assume that I'm just post dumping.

curious what personal experience do you have? Have you ever used one? Or stetsom for that matter? I've seen you pushing both products but never knew you to run any of them? Not starting a pissing match...just asking.Just seen this comment. roflmao. you must be located in a cave somewhere.nope my statement stands....
Are you talking to DreDay or 16k? Cuz...his name is 16k lol...

BUT NOW ITS 800 DOLLARS!!!!!!
as seen here
https://ssl.perfora....view.shopscript
now wait let me guess... this is what the reply will be
NEO cost has gone up (which is absolutely true)
cost of labor, other misc materials has gone up
and the original--WE innovate, we design, we are god, we created subs, we are the best (which is mostly true)
PLUS we CNC all our products here IN AMERICA (which is awesome)
well honestly none of this matters, thats great that you make your products and that you really do innovate new technology. But with numerous companies OEMing your products like lets say crossfire, ascendant, and ssa. You think you would take the cost off of the customer.
in-fact dont you guys machine other companies motors and entire subwoofers?
so why is one paying 300 dollars more now? thats almost twice the price then the original.
say what you want, honestly i don't take offense. In fact i would like an answer, and i hope you say "because we like to be exclusive and really ass rape our customers on price so we can get rich, and make sure the poor can not afford our products because we are the bugatti of subs"
you guys have blown up a ton, your customer service on the other hand? pretty soon you'll be just like kicker right?
if i get banned, or this gets locked, or i get a warning... i would like a serious explanation
please entertain me
Consdiering a 20 dollar hunk of neo previously is now 114 dollars..I wouldn't be bitching if I were you.
It's still cheaper then anybody else on the market, you can go pay 1800 dollars for a Z series woofer if you would like...that's known as raping the consumer.
The price is only adjusted to the cost of materials going up..which EVERYTHING has gone up. We ate it for quite some time while I was there and the reason was waiting until the SP4 and Team versions of the subs were available, or near available.
If you don't like it..it's as simple as not buying it. Go pay 1800 dollars for the Z series woofer or 1000-1200 dollars for the DC neo woofer.
(and no, i don't work there any longer)
First off...you seem like a genuine Fi fan, which is cool, but at the same time you seem like you REALLY don't like Fi. Which is it? I've never seen either Nick or Scott boast their product over another company's product unless directly asked "which subwoofer is better" in which case they reply with the FEATURES of their sub, not downtalking the other sub. I'm not sure why you think that the guys at Fi think they're better than anyone else.
Secondly...the price of neo has more than MULTIPLIED BY FIVE, and you're complaining cuz the price ALMOST doubled? Are you serious? They're making less and less money off of each sub and you're upset?
I ask you this question, as a serious question.? What do you want them to do? Make less and less money until they go out of business? Just so you can feel better? Look around bro...look at DD prices, look at DC prices. Not Team prices either, because you're not looking at the Team price for the N3. If you feel that Fi is trying to steal from you then just buy a sub from a different company and be happy.
EDIT: And if you think people are getting rich off of building subwoofers.....then nothing we say will change your mind.

So I did a little shoppin around and found these amps within my budget... Which do you guys like out of these the most....
Soundstream PX1.2000D
Precision Power BK1800.1D
Hifonics BRZ1700.1D
Hifonics HFi2000D
Hifonics ZRX2000.1D
That Picasso is entry level Soundstream. I'd rather you go for a Rubicon at least.
You know I want you to get the BK1800.1D
The HFi and the ZRX are the same amp.

Imagine that, FL.
It's VERY LOUD in Florida
Is that why they all require 64 mids and 18 tweeters per door in their systems?
Is that the cause of the loudness or the effect of the loudness? Maybe it's self-perpetuating lol

I will be running two batteries for the first time and have some questions. I have an energizer battery under the hood, and a yellow top for the truck. My question is will these two be ok ran together? I thought someone told me the batteries must be the same, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the input.
In a perfect world, the batteries would be the same. The reason for this is that batteries rest at different voltages and the one with the higher resting voltage will charge the other one until they equal out. This can cause the one with the higher resting voltage to die sooner especially if the voltages are way off (like one at 12.2 and another at 12.9).
The good part is...that most people don't leave their cars off long enough for the charges to fully equalize (like if you drive it every day, you should be good to go) but it can still shorten the life of your batteries. If you DON'T drive the car every day I would NOT recommend running two different batteries because one will go bad.
You can use a battery isolator but I'm not sure how reliable those are. Just google "battery isolator" and read up.
Oh and try not to mix Wet Cell and Dry cell because they usually have different resting voltages and wet cell batteries do NOT like to be deeply discharged and charged back up. They will go bad very fast. And then, when the wet cell goes bad, the dry cell will try to charge it until it dies too and you just lost 2 batteries.
EDIT: and Bigjon ninja's me with the quick answer lol

Didn't get to catch this deal because I ordered the B-stock but my order was shipped same day on a SATURDAY!
You have a new customer. Just gotta get some more funds together.

I just want to simplify my system but having one amp and running all my speakers and sub off of it. Thanks todd i'll take a look. Any more suggestions?
I don't mean to be an ass but you still have to:
Run 3 sets of RCA's
Run speaker wires
Run power wire
Run Remote wire
The only place I see that's simpler is that you don't have to use a distribution block to split the power wire and you only run one remote wire but those are easy to do. Finding a 5 channel with a 1000w sub channel is much harder and probably more expensive.

So as of now this is the best 5 channel amp I can find. By best I mean realiable and 1000+ rms for just the sub. I have not found one with higher rms then this one:

Help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
Why do you need a 5 channel?

Would you prefer precision power over hifonics
Definitely over the HFI series, I haven't tried the Brutus but I would be willing to put the Precision Power above those too. The Hifi I had was very light and felt like a dollar store toy lol. The trim is plastic too.
The P.P. amp is solid as a rock and heavy. Not to mention super cool looking in person. The top is brushed aluminum and looks great with the copper contrast.

Try this out and review it for us.
I have the 4 channel and it's VERY solid.

I think you should get D1 ohm subs not D2. That amp wont play .5 ohms for too long if not at all... Mayhems for spl use.. Zcons for daily ground pounding
This. You will melt that amp at .5 no matter what you do.

Sub up port back is generally successful in SUV's.

Thanks for the reply.Seems strange there is no way to tell between 1 and 2.Maybe they wanted it that way?
Might not be a significant enough change to be noticeable...Whereas the v3 is more of a "complete redesign" y'know?
Kinda like with car manufacturers where '09 to '10 is almost identical but the '11 is a new model?

nice!! man every one has a Zcon but me
hope upper ball joints are on that list... fords are known for breaking and yours looks outathere !!!
where in texas are you again ?
Yes sir I'm doing both upper and lower ball joints at the same time. As you can see in that pic the sway bar links are brand new (that's what I was changing when I was checking it all out). I might bite the bullet and replace the tie rod ends while I'm down there. You know you wanna try out a pair of Zcon 15's!
Oh and I'm in Waco about 2 hrs south of Dallas and 3 north of San Antonio.

YOU CAN TELL IF YOU LOOK IN THE MAGIC MIRROR AND ASK FOR THE POLITE WAY TO ASK GUARANTEED IT WILL ANSWER AND WHAT YOU SEEK YOU WILL FIND EVEN IF YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE IT IS THERE LOOKING BACK AT YOU ONLY WANTING TO ANSWER SOMETIMES IT'S CONFUSED WHEN WHAT IS ASKED IS OFF THE WALL INDIRECT SPELLED FUNNY AND YELLED AT THE pucking AUDIENCE BUT OBVIOUSLY IF YOU DON'T CARE TO ACTUALLY GET HELPED YOU CAN SURELY JUST IGNORE ALL DEVICE AND BE AN ASSHAT AND DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT THAT WOULD BE A SHITTY MANEUVER THAT WOULD MAKE THE MIRROR MAD
