heres a vid i took of an RE rep (other brands too) that was in town and wanted to hear the Hoe for himself. I drove him around the block when i met up with him at lunch yesterday. Its just a short clip that wasnt really good enough for the video page.....was good enough for youtube though

hey guys, im currently running a 10" MTX 8500 series sub with a JL Audio 500/1 amp, in a Pro Box. Its already pretty loud, but i dont think the sub would last that much longer, i was listening to a couple songs on the the way home from work and when i was a block or two away from my house i smelled something funny, went home and popped my trunk and the smell was coming from the sub, the cone was pretty warm from only 10mins of music and i had the volume at 14 on my alpine headunit. The sub is rated 500watts rms, and thats what the amp put out or a little more, but i didnt know it could heat up that much. Im looking to sticking to a 10" sub if possible since the box wasnt …

anybody know some good software i can use to make enclosure plans?

Haha joining the club of topics about emails I know you guys are busy..but I sent you guys an email about a change I'd like on my sub before it gets made. I need a dual 2 not a dual 1. Just piping in just in case it got overlooked...subject was included when I sent it. Invoise number I-12521/00. Like I said I know you guys are really busy so I'm trying to not be a pain in the balls...Thanks again.

Wanted to announce this new skin in your section. To all your die hard Fi fans, thanks for joining SSA! Screen Shot of Fi's new skin

Hey i'm getting a 15 fi bl but i only have 17inches max height check out this plan is it any good? http://www.subwoofertools.com/calculator_d...mp;sheet_size=0

I have a 15Q and i made a box for it. The box is 3.146 cubic feet. I have two 3" tube ports and i need to know how long they need to be to achieve a tuning of around 33-35 hz. Thank you in advance.

I'm wondering when to order my 15" SSD. I want to order it after Christmas I figured just wait until the 29th, the Monday after Christmas. ???

I have a Hifonics bxi 2006D amp would it be able to push a loaded BL 12" or 15"? or do u have any ideas to what i would want? i would use it for daily music. amp runs 1 ohm: 2000 watts x 1 channel . im in a transition of cars (last one got recked not my fault) but im getting a 4 door bmw. so if i could get an opionion i would appreciate it thank you.

ok i am a big time noob to box's, but i do know ported is more spl and sealed is LSQ. For a BL you need to go ported. But for a ported box which would be the loudest out of the 4 combinations, small box small port, big box small port, small box big port, smal box small port? all i am concerned about is spl/loudness. (it is for a 15 BL.) thx.

I think I finally decided on the Q. Now I just don't know which options are going to work best. I don't have an amp yet, but plan on getting something that is around 1200-1500. What I'm looking for in a sub, is one that will work best in a small sealed enclosure (around 1 cube), has great transient response, and can drop low. It is an old, old sub now, but my favorite by far has been the MASS 2012, and I just can't find a sub that is equal or better. The fs of the Q kind of makes me nervous, as the MASS was around 25 and the q is 34. My front stage consist of a DLS up6i set, being powered by an amp that is 150x2. The front stage sounds quite good for my taste. I've setup…

the BL costs $244 and it will be shipped to anaheim ca. i just want to make sure about the cost, will the $244 be the total cost? or will there be addt'l payment needed?

A year or so ago, I sent a Crossfire XT motor into Scott for a recone and he was unable to find a coil that would work for daily bumping. Anyhow, I ended up purchasing two BL's that same week and basically told Scott whatever on finding a coil for the XT motor. So my question is; Where is that motor now? lol Let me know if Scott still has it, because I wants it! Thanks, Matt

Hey guys my buddy has a Fi 15inch fully load btl sub dvc 1ohm and he was wondering: "does the btl have a universal motor option? Fully loaded yes, but i'm thinking of getting it reconed to a dual 2" i guess he wants to run it as a duel 2ohm! i guess he wants to run it down to 1ohm rather then .5 or 2ohm load for his amp! Let me know Kenneth

Hello all, Just wanted to take the time to thank everyone here for indirectly helping me choose my sub. I say indirectly because I haven't posted any questions, rather just took some time to look at everyone elses threads to find a listening style similar to mine. I ordered a 12" Q dual2 last wednesday and I got an e-mail saying that it will ship today.....can't wait! I already built a sealed box for it at around 1.3 cu.ft. I'll see how that sounds at first but have plenty of MDF left over if the need for a new enclosure arises. I will be powering it with a RF T5001bd. It's rated at 500w but the actual rating from the birth sheet is 985w so it should be fine. The insta…

I RLLY neeed help i just hooked up my brutus to my fi ssd 18 and all its doing is go thud thud thud thud thud thud thud nonstop kinda quickly with no music bass coming from it idk wtf is wrong with it if i take the RCA out it stops please help.... i hooked it before and it worked fine but someoone broke into my car and ripped everything out but they caught them and i got it all back so idk just any suggestions

my customer have 2 FI BL 15 on a 2.8 cubes each box tune @ 41hz using 2 4inch round port. each enclosure. we did a 148.4db on TL.the car was a toyota rav4. sub up port rear position. any idea how to gain it's db? i'll post pictures later.

I posted here since I figured more than one person probably has a blown one so I may help answer for the next guy . anyway, my buddy blew his assasin 10" and I was wondering if we could get a recone kit instead of ship the sub in? don't think the sub is worth that much lol

I was flippin through the new issue of Truckin and had to ask this. why is it that in all these magazines, with these amazing trucks, the subs in the bed of the truck point towards the tailgate. I am assuming cause they do this there may not be a blowthrough, never really could tell. even if there was, what would be the point of pointin the subs this way? is it just show?

I paid for my RE XXX to be reconed and then the 47 dollar return shipping fee for the XXX, and my UPS tracking number says it will get to your place tommorow. But I was emailed a UPS shipping notification from you guys yesterday saying you shipped me something. I am assuming you shipped me the recone kit accidentally. I emailed you guys a copy of this email with my full name as well. Please let me know what is going on, thanks!

What would be a good amp to run 2 10 inch ssd d2. Also what would be a good one for 2 older 12 inch cvrs d4.

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…
