General Fi

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?

I have a 09 accord coupe. I want this to bump but not rattle like crazy. Which do u guys prefer? I would like a 12 not a 15 lol. Im kinda a noob so any help would be great. Thanks. The trunk space is pretty small.

Would it be ok to put the subs forward and port back into the car through the arm rest in the back seat. I was thinkin of doin sealed, but think i am hooked on ported enclosures. i will be doin a small cut-through behind the arm rest in the back seat where it could port into the car. what do you more experienced installers think??? Also, would I be better off using aero ports pointing into this opening or just use the basic port?

Hey guys, so my sub arrived today safe and sound after a few hicups with shipping, it ended up getting here without any problems, Just want to say a huge thanks to Fi and their team especially Scott and Nick for helping me out and replying to my emails, your company is just incredible and your products, i dont think there is a word to describe them absolutly marvelous should do it hehe UPS first said it would come on 02/02/10 but then when it didnt show up they changed the date to 04/02/10 but then on the 3rd i hear the truck reversing into my driveway and was like , opening the box wasnt easy without destroying the packaging but i managed, then unscrewing the top w…

Like the title says, one of the magnets on my 12" Fi Q split in half. Don't know how, but I noticed the woofer was making strange noises a week or so ago, and took it out to investigate. I heard that this wasn't exactly a unique case, as other Fi products seem to have split magnets as well, possibly UPS is dropping them? At any rate, who do I contact for help? I have emailed Fi with no response. Is there anyone on the forum that could help speed this up? The sub is still covered under warranty, if this issue is covered under warranty...

does anyone know if turning my sub around and mounting it to the box upsidedown harm the sub does it affect the sub sound?

I am going to be purchasing a 15 Fi Q, and powering it with a Sundown Audio SAE-1200D. I wanted to ask what ohm sub I should order and if the BP option is a good choice. The amp does 1200x1 @ 1 ohm. i was going to build a 2.5ft sealed enclosure, suggestions? im rollin a 94 s10 blazer. thanks homies.

hey guys this is a great and informative site!. I have a 2003 mercury Grand marquis stock everything when it comes to electrical, system wise i have 2 15" kicker cvr's in a sealed box powered by a 1400.1d autotek amp, and truth be told i want to upgrade my subs. I was looking at the FI selection but cant figure out wich one best suits me i mostly listen to hip-hop and was wondering wich Fi sub would be louder then the cvr's i was thinking maybe a 1 15" in a ported box or maybe 1 12"? Thanks for your help n time oh BTW i have about $350 to spend thanks

Hey guys new here .... Just wondering if someone can explain to me what the different options are that are available ... P chamfer, cooling, flatwind, Hixm Coil, 3rd magnet ..... etc When are they necessary? ... anybody have pics to go along with it? I'm interested in buying a loud setup probably 2-12" BL's that still maintain a little sq TIA

Okay I have a new(to me) car, a 2001 saturn ls200. I want to get a system going but my 1 15RE SX isn't quite cutting it. So, should I get 1 18 or 2 15's. Either way, I'm leaning toward elemental designs 15/18 or FI SSD or Q for 15/18. I know it'll be a bit biased here but please be as objective as possible Thanks

Hi, I've placed an order on the BL 15 on December 4th, and on the link in the email you sent, it still says order processing. The money has been taken out, and it is now the 23rd. When can I expect this?

Im trying to see which sub is a good "SQL" sub. I had a 10w7 in a ported box and it rocked. Im looking to put 2 10's in my nissan titan in a ported box, its gonna have about 1.3 cu ft for each chamber, powered by a sundown 2000d.

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…

1. Ups is the only option it has for shipping, is it okay for me to send it to them through FedEx or is the shipping that is included in the checkout for incoming and return shipping? 2.What address do i send it too? 3. Expected time before it is shipped back? Anything else i should know? Thanks in advance can't wait to have my sub working again.

The Question(s): BP,Basket,and Send in sub are some of the options.. 1.Can i get the BP power option if mine didn't originally have it? 2.Basket? do i say yes or no? Not sure what this option means exactly i have the sub is this paying for a new metal basket where the sub sits in?? sorry probably a really newb question but ya.. 3.Send in the sub? I want to send it in since i don't know how to re-cone and don't really wanna risk messing it up. but will i be sent a box to send the sub in or do i just send it in? Hi new to the forums don't know too much about car audio but a fairly good amount. So, my sub stopped working all-together so i pulled out the sub and saw one of t…

I was wondering the full weight of the 18 BTL with all of the options added?

The rubber lip around the edge of sub is not aligned properly to the holes in the metal. I was just curious if it would damage the sub for me to peel the lip off and align it correctly. The only reason I would do this is so the people that install the sub dont slip up and just drill right through the metal instead of the holes designated. Thanks.

Just placed my order on Monday. Scott got payment Wednesday. My 2 Bl 18's should be on there way shortly. I guess christmas is coming early this year Thanx Scott, and Nick for all the help with my choice. Have a great weekend, Jason

My name is Sean Martin I Oredered 2 12" Fi SSD

hey guys, im just using a temp ported box now that i made using the RE calculator. Its at 3.3 cubic feet for a 15" BL and according to the RE Calculator its set at 32.42 hz. I know its a little unnacurate but what would be safe to put my subsonic filter at. I currently have it set around 30hz ? thnx guys!

i like how i get my first 18 and it doesnt come with a template for the size hole... i built a box for it before bt it was way off and i just lived with it ... what is the best way to cut my FI SSD to fit in the hole like a king ??? any suggestions would be appreciated

what is the average wait time to receive the subwoofer when you place a order. I ordered my sub Nov. 3rd and it still says " awaiting fulfillment "

I got my new woofers today. They are two Black Fiday 12's. I went to a shop nearby and had them build me a sealed box. It is one cubic foot per woofer, and its separate chambers. Problem is I didnt think about the wiring when I had them build it. So there is terminals on each side of the box for each woofer, and since its separate chambers it makes wiring difficult. So how would i wire the woofers in a series down to 1ohm having to use the two terminals.

I have a 91 S-10 Blazer 4dr... Right now I have a full JL Audio setup with a JL 300/4 powering my JL speakers and a JL 500/1 powering my 12W7 in a sealed box. Now I want to upgrade. I have a buddy with a single BL 12 which sounds good...but I think I want more than that. My problem is this, I want bass...lots of bass, like to the point that you turn on a bass track or a decent rap song and it's hard to breathe or swallow...lol...but I want it to sound decent (had a ground zero nuclear 15 once...bass was brutal but sounded like crap...) I know that you can't have SQ and SPL together... I want SQ, just SQ that moves you...lol. I listen to all types of music but mostly…
