Hey so i jsut bought a dvc 2ohm 15q. Now i was wondering if the gauge of wire i run inside the box to the sub matters? I have some 8 guage wire layign around but the spring terminals on the subwoofer itself will not hold 2x 8 guage wires which would be necissary to wire the sub to .7ohm. ..... http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learning...mpedance=DVC2x2 If anyone knows if i can use liek 12 guage or like 16 guage for this let me know, or if you have any ideas of how i can get two 8 guage wires into the spring terminal.

Hi, im jay, i was wondering about the SSD15, I noticed it is 800W RMS if i wired it @ dual 2 ohm to make it 4, AND put it on a [XLS crown802] which would give it 800W@4ohm perchannel, and 2100@4 bridged, Do you think it could power it? and if so how about 2 of em from the bridged? thank you and please respond respnd back if possible! Also what would i need to tune it to to listen to NUTTIN but low, around 28-32herts? thx! -jay

It's been a long time since I've been back to the FI forums. Good thing the registration only took all of 2 minutes to complete. I like the new layout too. Ok, first I'll describe what's in my 2004 Mustang: 1) Prototype 12" BTL standard (in a ported custom fiberglass enclosure 32hz) 2) Reconed 12" RE HC (I swap these out every 2 months maybe because I do get picky with sound quality sometimes) 3) RF P800.2 4) and pair of JL 5.25" coaxials on a small 60rms mtx amp Also just got some thick Kicker 1/0 gauge wire which I will be upgrading from 4gauge wire. After the rewiring, I'll be upgrading the amp to possibly the T20001bd or similar output amp. I will post up the pictures…

order 2 BL 18's recently. got them both and i got a FI card and 2 Fi stickers but no receipt. i was wondering if you guys ship your subs with a receipt or not? if not its cool, i am just used to getting one in paper form as well as email form. George

Hey, I have a 18" FI Q and wean i got the sub there was a little hole on the outer cone. can someone plz help me? I got your email Scott, about sending you some pictures and i sent them and i haven't heard back from you yet. PLZ HELP ME!!!!!! Thanks for everything FI!!!!! Thanks, Quentin K

I know people say it takes about a month of (break in time) before the suspension loosens up so... currently i have about 1 hour of play time Is there a limited amount of power i should be feeding it before i give it the the 1,200 watts daily i planned to? ** Setup ** Sub: Fi 15 BL Enclosure: 3.8ft^3 @ 32hz (ported) Amp: Saz-1500

sorry i dont know but what is the big 3?

hey nick, i was unclear on what had happened to that sx15 recone with the power options. i got a message from you that said it had shipped last tuesday, however my tracking information never changed from "billing information received" that was on the 14th. i haven't heard from you by email yet so i figured i might try here.... -sean

So i got my FI Q back from a recone like 2 weeks ago. and since it's been hooked up i hear like a rattling type of sound when the bass hits during the majority of songs (some sound fine usually the loud bass songs) i went next to the sub to hear where it was coming from and it sounds like it's coming from the sub itself any idea as why this would be happening? Also if i put my back seats up (my box sits flush with the back seats so the sub faces the cabin while i drive so with the seats up the sub is touching the back seats limiting it's excursion) the sound dissapears and it sounds like clean bass on any song but since it is limiting it's excursion it is noticeably quiet…

hey scott the solder job you did at world finals are holding up im still run an amp at .7 on each set having to problems sound stream say it about 7000 watts to the pair thank you very much nice meeting you

Definitely a stupid question but since it isn't specified anywhere I want to make sure that the address I ship my sub to for a recone is the one under the "contact us" link on the front page? 5450 Cameron St #104 Las Vegas NV 89118

Anyone got pics of em?? Looking at ordering some to compliment my Q

Tomorrow will be the last day to capitalize on the sales, get the deals while you can.

Where can i find a High Output ALT?? I would like about 400 A

hi i need some help picking an fi sub for my amp i have a shift 1000rms 2000max at 1ohm i keep blowing subs and i want an fi sub can some one help me choose one that wont blow plus i want one that will shake the windows witch one would you recomend for playing loud and for long pereods of time?

Ok My max dimensions are 15" x 36"x 22" these total up to have an external dimension of 7.18 cu ft and I come up with internal dimensions of 13.5" x 34.5" x 21.5" that comes out to 5.79 cu ft internally I want 32 hz tuning so I came up with a port of 4" x 13.5" x 22" This enclosure is for 2 FI qs with the bp power option once I sell my beloved ssds of course. I am looking to do subs facing my trunk lid and the port unloading to the side with a flair of course so please somebody help me to let me know these numbers are correct and what is the total sq inches for the port.

I'm gonna be ordering 2 of the Q15's dual 2 ohms fully loaded, and wiring them both to a AQ2200D, and I want to know what would be the best enclosure I can build for SQ? I've heard sealed is the best for SQ, and aside from that the carpenter building the box for me doesn't know anything about tuning a box, so i'm pretty sure ported or bandpass is out of the question. Would I be right to assume if I use the max 4^3 feet per woofer it would hit the deep note better? If so, what would be the best way to put both of those into a 43inx40inx17 (LengthXWidthxDepth). I believe i'm gonna mount them from the top unless someone could provide a good option that would allow for otherw…

I sent you an email with my info, could you let me know if it went through. I didnt get the tracking info emailed to me yet so I just wanted to check if you got my email with the info. Thanks man

is there a certain distance the driver wants to be from the back of the enclosure or is it fine anywhere as long as the correct amount of volume inside the box is present? also, is there any advantage to buying a dual voice coil sub over a single voice coil?

so around this christmas im debating on wether 1 btl 18 or 2 bl 18's would be louder, i want LOUD. I know that the btl is fi's loudest sub but 2 18's have more cone area, ill be running 1 saz3000D either way i go. what do yall think?

wondering if there is anything you guys can do for a TC9 motor? Just thinking for the future

I would like to know the difference between the dual 1 and dual 2 voice coils? thanks...littlematt

fi btl 18 daily or spl ??

I want a sub that can be wired for 1ohm I ordered dual 1ohm 15 q with bp did i mess up?

i have just bought two 15 fi bl's daul 2 used on cl. i knew one was going to need a recone so am planning on doing both. I'm running a mtx 81000d to one in a ported box i threw together just to see what each one sounded like box is little over 3 1/2 cubes, an tuned at 32. i get a clipping/slapping sound from the speaker when i turn my gain up past 1/2 way with the vol turned up on the head unit. an (h.u. settings are flat). question: could i just be clipping it? does anyone else get a leed noise? how can i tell what year it is for recone purpose? Thank you for your help any thing i may have left just ask doogie
