General Fi

what dia. T bolts do you use to mount a Fi sub ? The wood screws I've been useing keep breaking so I need something different.

Ill be out of the loop to a certian extent during 06/30 - 07/08. We are setting up a new warehouse for Ascendant, getting production ready, holiday, and various other Fi shop upgrades during this period. We will still have staff at Fi building subs, but there will probably be an extra 2-3 days build time during this period. Most likely Sales@ and Scott@ emails will not be answered and will have an autoreply. Hate to do it... but Ill get back to them on 07/09. If it is an emergency, please post it to the forum or email [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks for your understanding and patience. Scott

I know, I know there is no definite answer at all to this question. Again I know!!! LOLOL Currently running a 15" BL w/ a RF T10001BD amp. Ok loud not the greatest but the best I can do with my limited trunk space of a scion tc. I whined before here about loosing my trunk space currently! I am sitting here and out the corner of my eye sits a 12" RE SX sub that I just reconed with Fi parts. Originally with that RE SX sub it was in a 2.0cuft box tuned to 32hz and I hit 139db with a TL mic (amp running at 2ohm so roughly 900-1000watts). With my current box with that 15" it sits in a 3.5cuft box, and I don't have my spare tire anymore or any trunk space! With the 15" …

For people that have purchased products from Fi, particularly there Q 18 D1 with the BP option, how long did it take from purchase to receive your subwoofer. I know Fi is a good company and greatly approve of there products but I am getting fed up! I bought 1 Q 18 w/ the BP option on the 22nd of last month. I received a receipt when I bought it but never a confirmation. So I then emailed them and they sent me a confirmation. So I was happy

Hi, is there anyone in charge that can look up to see where my sub is in the delivery world? Theres no phone number to call them

I am planning on possibly doing 2 18" BTL's in pretty much the optimum enclosure to be put in the back of a Tahoe. Ported to the back, subs upward running about 2500-3000 watts each for daily. I am newer to all of this and hate to ask this stupid question, will that get loud as hell??? I would like to compete and wondering if this would be good for daily and competition. Wish I could do 4 18's, but I doubt I can afford that much power, LOL!!! As I said, I am very new to all of this and learning, so any info would be great... Thanks

I posted this question already in the technical category and only got an answer from JimJ ( thank you ) , and would appreciate more feedback so that i may place my order Asap , so i'm starting over in the general section hoping for more opinions , thank you . I'm going to order four 10 " Q's to be mounted sealed each connected to it's own Alpine PDX 1.1000 , ( all 4 were benched at 1200 RMS ) , my question is BP power or no BP power , i have seen posts where they were said to perform wonderfully under 1000 watts , and many more that stated they could take more , so i'm confused as to if i should BP them or nt please answer , thank you Dan

hey nick you have time to start a chat about some amps for the btl's? i sent you an e-mail under the name dbanner... Thanks, Brock

Is it possible to have some pics of the compression plug & axial cooling channels?

I'm deployed to Iraq (9 months done, 6 to go) and I was starting to get serious sub bass withdrawals. I just got a great deal on a Behringer EP2500 for my HT setup. I was going to order a Q12 for my car when I got back but I had an idea. So I emailed Scott and Nick to see if they could build me a small sealed box and ship the box to Iraq loaded with a Q12. Scott said yes so I placed my order. I was getting impatient because I wanted to know how much more Fi needed for the box and additional shipping. Then it arrived today and it is amazingly in 1 piece. I've had a smile on my face all day. It is jury rigged with 3 adaptors inline running of my laptop but it still so…

Well today I curiously clicked on my tracking number to see if the sub had shipped not only was it shipped out before the holiday, its in my damn town and will be here tomorrow..... I find this amazing being that Fi has been flooded with orders, Scott was gone, and I had added the BP option. I placed my order on the 26th and wasn't even expecting it till like next week.... Amazing guys keep it up! Build pics will be up soon.

well had to rebuild the box for the BTL the lash one shall we say sprung a leak and without much testing was able to do 144 on street beat and take first by 2.5 DB or so. what a combo a beetle and a BTL thanks for makeing this sub.

I plan on putting 4 15" BTL's in the bed of a silverado with a blowthrough, not a wall. Out of curiosity, will there be any type of loss in pressure and sound by doin this? Also, if I make a small wall around the hole with sound deadener all under it, will that make a improvement on the loss if there will be any in the first place. I know that it will help with road noise, so i am doing it anyway, but am just curious.

Was just wondering what are the warranties on Fi Subs?? All models?

So I got there to find out my alternator is dying, and won't keep more than 13.9v at idle. It was a great first show, I did bass race and truck/suv 1501+. I got 149.9 in bass race and took first place. I got 2nd place in truck/suv to todd hardwick (but he has a wall in his truck made just for spl, I have a daily setup. First run was 150.6@44hz, but I thought I peaked a little lower. Next run I tried lower- and got a 150.8@ 35hz. My alternator wouldn't allow for more than the initial burp, so I know redoing my electrical system will do a lot. Either way, a few people were fairly impressed with Fi. 1st place bass race and 2nd spl trophies: A vid of a hair trick, crappy cam…

due to a drunken night i completely ruined my Fi shirt. i poored cranberry juice all over it, and somehow got a hole in it. it was my favorite shirt, and now i need another......is there any way i can purchase another one? feel free to pm me with details, or ill contact by email if need be.

I am buying a bass maximizer from audiocontrol. I needed to know if I needed two sense I was getting two amps or would one be enough.

Looked at the technical posts on SSD's did not find any explanation on this extr , what is BP power , what does it do ??

Newly converted to FIcarudio products by xconcepts from caraudio i am wondering what is the min power requirement for the SSD's i will be replacing a pair JL Audio 10w3v2's in a sealed enlosure of 0.625 which are both being powered by a JL Audio 500/1 , and being unfermiliar with the FIcarudio subs , i'm wondering will a pair of 10 "SSD's work properly being connected and boxed the same way ?? The Jl's were rated 300 W each , will the amp be sufficient for these two SSD's to perform properly ? i,m also thinking flat wind and copper , is it a good idea to add these two add ons with this amp and enclosure set up .? Will also be adding a pair of 10 " 2 ohm BL's each connecte…

The web site FiCarAudio does not list Le (or alternatively Ls and Lp), the inductance parameters. Anyone know the values for the Q15 and the Q18? TIA =>><<=robobob

im in need of a q18d2 recone! whenever you get a chance shoot me a price shawn nick or scott thanks guys! p.s. keep up the GREAT~! work

Driving home from work today minding my own business, turning onto another road. Went to give it some gas....hmmm car not moving, look down at gauges ok well everything is at zero....hmmmkay. Stereo still running, ac fan still running. Ahhh tried to start the car while moving but it didn't start......Stop the car, looked around puzzled, looked back in my mirror I see a little smoke, look at the hood oh there is more smoke. First thing that popped to my mind I have no fire extinguisher, and second thing that popped into my mind is that I have no more warranty!!!!! Popped the hood open, and I see a crispy ground chassis wire. GREAT!!!!! Onto picture, sorry camera phon…

I have been building boxes for sometime and I notice that a lot of boxes have the same concept but are built a little different. When I build a ported box for two subs I normally direct the air out of the front (depending on the application) of the enclosure with a divider between both chambers. I have seen some enclosures with no divider coming out of the front, just a big hole. Does adding or taking away a divider give off a different sound? I also add one in the middle just to make the box more rigid. I am building two ported boxes for a van. Would it be better to port it in the front like I have been doing or to go another way. I would think that by porting it …
