  1. The gain is not a volume nob its there to match preamp voltage from the HU.imo 80-100hz is good on low pass

    thank you for correcting/detailing what I meant by "full gain", I did not mean to run it all the way : ) but in fact just to the H/U's output voltage.  I would hate for someone to have misread that and clip their sub to death in minutes!!!


  2. What do i set bass boost at on amp? and lowpass? i always crank lowpass all the way

    a good practice is to not ever use the bass boost knob on the amp.  Yes it is safe to run 1ohm right away, and also is even safe to run full gain(meaning matching it to your H/U's output voltage!) if you pay mind to temperatures and smells, you dont want any frequencies above 120hz max running through your sub woofer so on these hifonics amps you want to run the low pass between 11-12 oclock positions.

    no offense taken...I simply decided to order one from them : ) they are close to me, I know they do good work and wanted to try them out! A return question from me would be:

    Why would you never ever own another Fi sub?

    ok first off tbe price doesnt match the quality.. the n3 slammed on burps but nothing else.. but thats what it was designed for so no complaints from it really... the team fi... supposed to be some kind of god send.. not so much.. it was loud but sounded like shit while doing so.. reminded me so much of a orion hcca I bout puked.. im sure fi isna decent product but im just not buyin it

     

    So far the sound quality of my BL is amazing and I have no problems or issues with it's performance, it gets loud, it is accurate and tight both up high and way down low and moves a ton of air.  I am a happy owner so far for sure!

    no need for amp upgrade at this time : )  I have my box at 2.5^3 and 32hz also LOVE IT!!


  6. ok so I get home a few minutes ago from work and there is a big ass box sitting on my porch.. im thinkin holy shit my zcon has gotten here I record time! got it in the house opened it up.. fuckin 8 pairs of fuckin shoes.. fuckin shit

    LMFAO...icon_roflmao.gif


  7. K so wire them together at 1 ohm and use one channel or "bridge " the channels?

    in your case you want the left speaker on the left positive and negative and the right speaker on the right positive and negative untill you get an amp with one set of terminals or actually most mono's are set up with 2+'s and 2-'s meaning they are internally bridged.


  8. Yes, by wiring them together and using the one channel.  It's basic electrical knowledge taught in classes world wide.  I could link you 100 sites that have information on that very subject.  1200 watts would be applied to the circuit as a whole (i.e. both subs) but each one would only see half of it.

    that being well said, here is the most popular and easy to decipher sub woofer diagram link:

  9. what is a fair price too you?  If you can't find what your looking for here on SSA... I picked up a very nice brand new set of components for 99.00 on ebay: Kenwood Excellon XR1800P's.  Couldn't be more happy with my purchase

    (they sell locally for over 300 dollars!)and people do buy them at that price it's nuts...


  10. Mark,

    Is anything being done for those ordering from APO addresses?

    J

    I think he means "is anything being done for those ordering from an APO address?"..as in, did shipping charges change for them too?  or any changes period?


  11. I too placed my order weeks ago for my soundquebd hsd3 12's when i. ordered them they were in stock next day i check on my order and says backordered till March 31 then it says now April 28th and I've been trying since last Thursday. And they aren't responding to me or nothing I've asked them for them to call me cuz i dnt know where to find their number but seriously i need to know what's goin on here with my order and when steps are gunna be taken to make me a loyal customer feel happy and want to come back here when i order my wifes setup for her birthday

    Just be patient you guys...These companies are literally SLAMMED with business during tax season, so much so, that they have very little time to answer emails as quick as they would like too, and they usually do when things are a A LOT less hectic.  You All will receive your orders and you ALL will be dang happy you made the purchase BELIEVE ME!!  These companies are working VERY HARD for ALL of their customers to build your product first and answer your questions when there is time. :)

     

    The wait is a very hard one.  I personally know this.  And personally just went through it.  And I am happy as a fly trap hung in the cow barn!!!
