    Hey everyone, I'm new here, but been in car audio for while. Figured I'd come over here and do a bit of research. I'm lookin for a new sub stage, and being that this is the official Fi forum, it seems I came to the right place to read up and learn. Right now my system is pretty much complete minus the sub Pioneer 880PRS Next Audio VRz4.400 Peerless HDS Nomex 7" mids LPG 26na Linear Power 2.2hv Right now, I'll hopefully be able to get an 05 xxx 15 from Shawn if all works out, or my other choice is the Fi Q 12". I'm looking for strictly sound quality before anything, either will be run off my 2.2HV which is anywhere from 1k to 1.5k watts of clean power. I'm just hoping…

    I have an 18" Avalanche that i bought about 1.5 yrs ago. Was wondering how much it would cost to get it reconed. Had it in a 13cu.ft box tuned to 30hz with 1200RMS and i loved it, but i assume it took all it could and is now making a scratching sound when i turn it up.

    Hi guys!! Searching in the internet I found this website. I'm a bass junkie and when I saw the brands that you promote it take my attention because where I live they only know Stetsom and Sundown. The other are new, not to me because I saw them a few years ago in youtube. Like you already saw my english is not that good but I will try to communicate with all of you. Thanks for this forum!!

    My name is Brian, Im from Wisconsin. Ive browsed this site a bit here and there, and only registered for the chatroom, but now it seems like it died off since you had to become a member to use it. I only comment on things I know for sure, I hate to be wrong, but when I am wrong I man up and admit it Ive been messing with audio systems home/car since I was 12 years old. I learned everything I know from a retired competitior that had many national records. I like expensive gear, usally imported stuff that everyone on the block does not have. Then when people ask what I am running I just simply say JENSEN because after I took all the time to tell them what it is, they will…

    Hello everyone. My name is Justin, I am 23 years old and I am pretty much a newbie on this forum as said under my name, I have been in the Car audio industry for quite sometime and I love it even though it is very additive. On my spare time from work I love to test products from the car audio industry and recommend them to friends and family as well as write a full review on the forums of what I thought of the product.. I am also into doing some pretty decent installs and have been planning to do a full blown mach 5 system when testing is done.. Well sorry about my long post, but I thought I would share some of my background.. Justin

    Hello all, My name is Chase. I've been into audio for about three years now ever since I got my first car in the 11th grade. Ever since then I've been through about five different systems and have just recently finished my first "real" system. I look forward to learning new things on this forum and checking out some awesome builds!

  18. I've been a member here for awhile, but I had not visited or posted very often. That will be changing. For those of you who don't know me, I am a 28 year + veteran in and around the car audio industry, and I have worn virtually every hat to be worn. As much as I love car audio as a serious hobby, I have grown weary of the industry as a profession. In short, there are much better ways to conduct business, especially in the competitve car audio "sound off" arena. A better way has been created: Car Audio Tournament of Champions™ (CATOC™) The CATOC™ "preseason" is starting this month in the greater Phoenix, AZ area. The Car Audio Tournament of Champions™ (CATOC™) star…

  20. Ive been out of car audio for awhile, probably the last 5 years. My Adire Audio Brahmas surrounding ripped away from the cone last night. The last sub I remember hearing about being compared with the Brahma was the RE XXX so I was interested in finding one of those to try out. Come to find out they arent around the $400 range anymore, but a whopping $1,200!! So I said bump that. But a guy on a different site told me about the founder of RE starting up a new company named Fi Car Audio. So here I am, trying to figure out which of these products may be equal to or better than the Brahma and XXX. Oh and trying to find a place to recone my Brahma as well. Any suggestions on …

    My Skar vvx 10 came in Thursday. I installed it in a 1.25 ported box tuned to 30 hz. It sounds great. Much better than the e5.19 I had. It couldn't handle the JL Audio 500 I use. The Skar lets me bring the amp up to the point that it puts out its max power before clipping. I was running it a quarter turn less to keep from blowing the e5.10 I'll break it in & see how it sounds.

    HI everyone I'm Kyle. I'm new to the forum and right now I'm currnetly running 1 spl15 with 1ohmdvc on a Alphasonic PMA600HCA. I haven't had time to get it on the meter yet but I might swap to new subs and go back to 12s to better fit my listening style. What would be better the RE audio subs or the FI audio? I want something that can take all the power my amp can give them. It pushes 1800rms at 1ohm.
