what exactly is BP power option????? also i what is the flatwire and copper options too??? looking at getting an SSD12

what's the best way to mount a sub box to the trunk

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

Have a show coming up next week and at the moment I have a DE3000 powering two BL 18's fully loaded. I was wondering as I have another DE3000 lying around would the BL's be ok with taking 3.5k each for just a day (providing everything is set up correctly and I don't play them like a A hole) ??? BTL's are coming soon but was just curious if I should do this or not.

Hey guys, I have a question about horizontal mounting a subwoofer. I've read various articles on it, looked at the sag factor tech page from adire, and etc... still, i've heard some convincing things about it still not being good. Here's my question for you: I have an 18" BL full loaded and its horizontally mounted. I ran the sag factor equation from adire and it meets the "criteria" of mounting horizontal. however, iv'e heard also that with gravity...it doesnt matter because gravity pulls down on it more and therefore i get more distortion, etc. whats the low down on this? Am i in some bad shape with having my sub horizontal? normally I mount my subs in the typical, firi…

I know you guys are going to SBN, but when you get a chance can you check your emails. I have another "order" to place with you for the custom IB subs I am working on. Also, is there an easy way to get ahold of Chad K. (I've tried the phone recently - to no avail)? Thanks and have a great time in the sun & sand. JP

I am ordering 2 q's soon and need to wire it to a 2 ohm load so i would want the dual 1's or dual 2's?

i really liked this pic so i copied it, but now its gone well its back im pretty sure its a 12" Q any pics from before please share them here THANKS these are some 18" Q pics

hi, got a quick question about the shipping: does Fi ship internationally, even if it is at extra cost? sorry if this has been discussed before, but i couldn't find any info about international shipping.. thanks, damstachizz

Well I just bought a used Fi BTL locally and now I want to rep it with some pride. Im thinking of buying a hoodie since i need one, but does anyone if they run large or small? If you have purchased one let me know. Just curious as what I need to get. To Fi. get some zip up hoodies I'm fairly confident this would be the right place to put this. Also im getting a sticker, where doi u think would be the best mounting point. I am thinking bottom driver side back window. I have a silver 07 grand prix. So i was thinking sticking with silver. Just a light thread no need to crunch numbers etc. Just some opinions.

I wanted to know if you could send me the pdf of the Fi sticker so I could have them made to put on my windows in my van. I am new to Fi but from what I understand had something to do with RE. I wanted RE and a friend told me about Fi and I must admit the price is a lot cheaper. I want to know if you have a 5X Fi shirt available. I want to be in full effect when I make my debut again in my town. I am hoping Fi will lead me to victory. I am puttting a lot of time in making everything go together right. I hope you all fulfill my desires as an audio enthusiasts. This will also be my demo vehicle for my business.

I hate to start a post like this. I have already emailed you regarding my order. I ordered an fi btl 18in. and i got the dual2. I need it changed to the dual1 considering the amps i picked up only do full power a 2ohms. Once again sorry for the hassle, but i figured since it hasnt started being made it shouldnt be to big of a deal.

i bought this chevy asto last june. this demo car will join the Manila Auto Salon 2008 @ SM Mall Of Asia and IASCA IDBL on Nov. 2008 this is the one responsible for my car paint and airbrush astroboy make over. what's this??? sundown and fi logo DC and FI logo(that's me on the right)

had some little problem, scott and paul got everything fixed so fast it was unreal. you could not asked for a better company and for someone to stand behind his product like scott does thank you, scott did not know me at the time and i bought my subs used not from fi when i was playing my subs before i went up and paul saw something wrong he started working on it

Hello everyone its me again as u may already know i like to ask a lot of questions but thats how i learn, now i need to know if the new btl is a lot better than the old one???i need people with experience who have owned both???

Thanks guys. You were nothing but helpful through the whole thing. Everything came in. Packaging was awesome. I can't wait to put it together. I look forward to hearing my 15" FiRE SExxx

Just built my enclosure for my 12 that is going to arrive on tuesday. Vented box is 2.48 cu ft tuned to 32.2hz question is which side of the face should i place the sub in? furthest from the vent possible, in the middle, near the vent? I havent cut out the hole yet, so i figured ide ask while i have time also, how much volume will the sub consume so that i know exactly how much cu/ft i am working with? little interested to hear the sub, every thread i keep reading tells people to buy the BL if you want any kind of spl. Im not going for spl at all, i just enjoy loud low bass with no intention to compete. Beginning to think maybe i should have opted for the BL instead..…

So, never owning a car in my life, I am getting my first one very soon....big change from trucks and SUVs. I love SPL and am not entirly sure what to do. I was planning on either doing 2 12" Q's ported or 1 12" BTL ported, this is gonna have to be a tough decision for myself. If you have an opinion on what you would prefer, go ahead, be nice to know what other people think. But here is what I need to know also, which way should the subs and port face? They will be going in the trunk of course. Is it correct in saying that the bigger the box is, the smaller the ports need to be and vice versa or no? Just heard this the other day. Any advice at all as well as the an…

Fi BL 15" w/ cooling option only... rockford t1500 or sundown saz1500d which will last longer? which puts out more power?

i just want to let the people at FI and all you bass heads know that this forum is awesome. the people here are a lot nicer so far and i get quick and knowledgable answers to my questions( and there will be more) and most of all i havent seen any of the petty bickering and put downs that i see on another popular excursion forum. i am glad i found this place. see now ive gone and gotten all emo on ya.

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

I sent in a BTL to be replaced and it has been months with nothing sent back. It was said to be in the process of being replaced. The last email that I got back from Fi was on February 11th. I'm just not sure what else to do. My emails for the past month have gone unanswered, and you guys don't have a phone number. Please email me at [email protected] whenever you get a chance.

hey im looking to order a SSD10 from you guys in the near future. i was wondering if you could get me a final shipped price on one to Edmonton, AB, T8N6W8, Canada. thanks guys.

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.

I am getting my new FI Q 12" on Tuesday and want to have everything set up and ready to go when it comes so I can hook it up and go without fiddling with settings on amp or cd player. I need to tune my amp and will not take it to a shop to get charged for something I can do. My question is how to properly tune my amp without an oscilliscope, or hooking my sub up. I want to be able to somewhat tune it with the sub unhooked as I want to properly break the sub in and cannot do that by tuning my amp with the sub hooked up. Once I have the sub broke in, then I will fine tune my amp to the sub w/ it hooked up, but until then how will I have it tuned pretty close w/ hooking …
