    tequila besides patron anejo?

    i was wondering what else out there is good besides patron anejo? trying to stay under $40 a bottle and a fifth of patron at $55.99 is getting expensive
  2. i had a excessive amperage 300amp alt installed and its charging but its not sending the signal the computer saying that its charging so the battery light keeps coming on, but the battery never drops below 14v's, i was told i can only use a pulley from the makers of the alt which is EA, do you know if this is true? i think the guy said i need a 1.5 or 1.75'' pulley for the alt

    need a pulley for alt

    happens during idle and driving at all speeds, its a 2002 yukon denali 6.0L , not sure how its wired i had a shop do it that has done previous cars of mines and other families with no issues
  4. i thought i ordered 3 fi q series in the dual 2 ohm series, but some how i got the 1ohm instead..not sure if i made that mistake or if FI sent me the wrong ohm load..and im not here to lay blame..it is what it is not a big deal or something for me to cry about..my problem is this..i was going to wire them to my Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D 4 ohms: 850 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 chan. 1 ohm: 2400 watts x 1 cha the guy doing my instal said with these subs im looking at a little under a .5 ohm load, but when i check with the 12volt web page it says 0.67 so not far off i guess, my question is, can i try running this amp at.5 ohm? anyone have any experience with this particular amp? its the new series thats CEA-2006 compliant and i think i have read some people running these at .5 ohm..but i still wanted to check with your opinions..im really strapped and just dont have the funds to buy a different amp..the guy said 1 solution is to buy 3 amps that will do 1000-1500 watts in 2 ohm..but that will run me no less then $600 and im strapped has it is..so please let me know your opinions..thank you

    Delay on Q's?

    i got my 3 Q series 18's 2 days ago and took everything to the shop today...cant wait to get my truck back and see what FI is all about also thanx guys for the free t-shirt, while i was there the owner told me he has done a few FI set ups and hes been impressed by all, the last was a guy who did 2 18'' in a ported setup and his main goal was spl number just a all out monster for 60 seconds..not sure which series..im going to guess it was either bl or btl's..but he says this will be the first sealed set up hes done with FI and hes really anxious to see how they sound..so i felt more at ease hes dealt with these subs before

    Ok, I will check in the morning, sorry for being a burden I just got real pissed when you told me to check tracking and I waited like 4 hours and still nothing. I don't know who wouldn't be pissed. Alright I will post on this topic tomorrow sometime if I haven't seen any updates. i can understand your worry, but this is FI, so i wouldnt let it keep me up at night..they will take care of you, i been waiting around 57 days for my subs..lol but from everything i hear, its well worth the wait..they shipped mines out yesterday and i cant wait to finally hold them in my hands..lol

    Delay on Q's?

    I ordered mine May 17 and they said they should be shipping my sub late last week. I might be getting it I'n the next few days... I hope. I ordered mine on May 1st and they just shipped out today on June 7th. It seems like they got the backorder issue resolved so most orders will probably ship very soon if they haven't yet. did you get a tracking number telling you they shipped it?

    has anyone who was on back order received there orders yet?
  14. ive read people saying to use the fuse rating to get a idea of how much rms power a amp will give you, can someone explain this to me? is there a formula to multiply or something to get an idea of this?
  15. superman814

    fuse ratings?

    how does this pertain to my situation then, my amp is rated at 2400 watts at 1 ohm which is also CEA-2006 Compliant, not sure if that matters, the fuse rating is 250A x 1, so how does this come into play here? can i say i will only get 2400 watts at 1 ohm provided i have the electrical system to power it which i do, a 300amp high output alt and a kinetik hc3800, or can i expect to get more then 2400 watts out of this amp which happens to be the new line of hifonics brutus amps Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D
  16. if your current set up was giving you around 600 watts per sub into a sub with 1000 watts rms handling, but for $550 you could upgrade to a different amp that would put around 844 watts into that same sub would you spend the extra cash to do it? i mean can one even tell the difference by listening to a sub with either power going to them? not sure if it matters but the system consist of 3 18's..im looking for opinions to see if its worth me spending the $550 and only adding about 200 watts per sub if even that..
  17. what are your opinions on these models?

    going from 601 watts to 844 watts per sub

    the set up is 3 fi q series 18's on a hifonics brz 2400.1, the new ces-2006 compliant amps http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23550_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ2400.1D.html what i was going to replace it with is this http://www.crescendoaudio.com/product.php?productid=17515&cat=249&bestseller=Y the 3KWP Monoblock Amplifier, which will really only give me around 200 watts more per sub by the way this is not a competition truck, just a daily driver for my own listening pleasure

    fi q series with high qts

    i understand the high QTS option is for sealed setups, but has anyone throwin a Q series with the high QTS in a ported box? how did it sound and would you see a problem with doing this?
  24. heres my problem, i already have my amps in hand, in question is the mono subwoofer amp which is a hifinoics brutus BRZ2400.1D RMS Power @ 1 ohm 2400 watts x 1 channel i also already ordered my subs which are 3 fi q series 18's, someone brought up to me that with ohm rise i really will only see around 500 watts per sub, and to me thats a waste when thats only half there rated power..so i have 2 options to go from here, by another fi q and end up with 4 18's and buy another brz 2400 watt amp which would really put a strain on me budget wise, or stay with the 3 18's and use the brz 2400 watt amp on 2 of the fi q series and buy a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D for only $209 and hook that up to the single 18, how does that sound? i mean id love to go with 4 18''s but i just cant swing it at the moment..so really my only choice is to buy another amp and have 3 amps in my system a 4 chnl, and the 2 mono amps a brz 2400 for 2 of the Q's and a brz 1200 for the other Q..please let me know how this sounds..also in order to pull this off i know the single sub would have to be 2ohm dvc and the other 2 subs would have to be 1ohm dvc for both to get the 1 ohm load i want to see from the amp
