General Fi

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..…

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

For the BL 15's it says 4 cubes max for each sub, so if I have 2 it would just be 8 cubes, no strings/formulas attatched? Also, the more cubes the better, correct? And lastly, I was thinking of tuning to about 33, anyone have some advice on this? Thanks

heres my frankenstein box in action lol with a few different songs. i added a slow song by bebel gilberto called winter also. this song has nasty bass and it even adds a kick over the already playing bassline near the end of the song (sorry couldnt catch that) well enjoy the latest from fi ssd 12's in the old school benz!!

P Chamfer: no Cooling: yes 3rdMagnet:yes HiXmCoil: yes daily:yes Universal:No are those good options for daily driving but serious spl

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'm about to order a Fi 18" and was wondering, (and this may sound dumb) If I needed to add these and what they where; P Chamfer, Cooling, HiXmCoil, Induct Heat Ring, Universal. Would appreciate the help a bunch, Thanks, Dover.

Running it on a 1500D sundown. ordering the sub on friday and I am in need of advice for options, im poor so what is need for that thing to hit hard handle most of the amp.

So I've been bumping two American Bass XD 10's powered by a mmats 1400.1 amp. I think I just burned up one of the subs so I obviously want to replace. I want something louder. My system hit 153.2db and that's with two 10's. I like American Bass's products but the VFL's are 1500wrms each and I don't want to buy another amp. I'm looking at the Fi subs and specifically the IB3 12's. Anybody have them? They're 50wrms each more then XD's (500wrms each). The amps 1400wrms @ 1 ohm so I don't want anything that's more then 650wrms each. Reccomend another sub? Thanks =)

Howdy, I'm looking to pick up the fully loaded BTL 12 dual 1 ohms. Simple questions: What amps would you fine folks push it with? Typically I'd go with a pair of subs, but I'm not confident a ported enclosure would fit in the back of an 09 Challenger without swallowing up the entire trunk. Any suggestions?

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 …

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

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 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.

Sent scott an email, but I understand he is super busy so I figured I would post up a topic here too. Ok I have a RE MT motor, that I need a recone for. Need everything but the dustcap, (recone, gasket, and a 12" basket). I really need this recone by next friday ( a week from this friday). What is the usual turn around time for a sending a recone out? And also I left out in my eMail I would also like a 2nd day air quote for shipping, because the sooner I get the softparts the better . shipping would be to 71052. Thanks again.

I just ordered the 15" Q along with the Sundown 1000 amp. I have had the Ascendant Audio Atlas 15 for the longest time. I thought to myself, maybe it's time to move on, so I did. Saw the awesome deal on this site for the amp, jumped on that. I did have one question, I was looking at getting some 0 gauge wire. Looking at KnuKoncepts wire. I just need to figure out the fuse size. What size should I get? I was leaning towards like 150~200A Thanks Sunny

Im really set on getting a 12 Q but as i saw pictures of it i saw it in very big boxes.I was wondering if one 12 would need the same box size as two(like the picture at the bottom)..this question sounds stupid even to me a newb,but the reason i ask is because i saw a video of a 12 Q with the same box as the one in the picture below the only diffrence is there was only one 12 in the box and not 2.The picture at the bottom is a 2001 maxima just like mine so if you look at it you can roughly tell how much space im working with(kinda since the box is covering the whole trunk)..Also im pretty sure im going to get the 12 Q so i was wondering what would be the best amp for it? i…

What other subs does the SSD compare too??? Just wondering what subs from other companies are comparable to the SSD. A friend of mine who i'm tring to get hooked on fi was asking me...any input would be appreciated.

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

I was wondering if you stopped making the BTL kits, cause i need one very badly, and on the ASAP.

Couple quick and dumb questions. This is my first SQ vehicle and I am not sure about a couple things. I know I will be going with Q's, keep hearin these things are amazin. For SQ, what is better, sealed or ported. I was thinkin about maybe 2 12's or 4 10's. any input is good though. I want something that can possibly give me the opportunity for little competitions.

I'm going to order a SSD10 and plan to load it in a sealed box w/ .63 airspace (after displacement) and power it w/ a Sundown SAE-1000D (are there other recommended amps for the SSD10?) Questions: 1. I'm guessing I should get the dual 1-ohm coils and wire them in series to get 2-ohms (600w) ... since dual 2-ohm coils wired in series would result in 4-ohms (only 300w) and dual 2-ohm coils wired in parallel would overpower the speaker (1-ohm, 1000w), correct?!? 2. Since this is going to be a daily driving setup and I'm more interested in SQ, should I consider any other options besides the copper coil upgrade? Mucho thanks for any help / insight.

How do I get the shirts and stickers somebody please tell me I havent been on this forum in a while and last time i checked they didnt have any yet.

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 …

hello, just trying to get some input, use to bass race a few years back, then "lost" all my stuff, so i'm now finally getting back into it. This will be strictly a dd set-up/bass racer. Tell me what you think, input is much appreciated. My set-up consists of the following: 2001 Chevy blazer Alpine 9857 200amp HO alt Big 3 done in 1/0 optima yellow top under the hood (3) kinetik 2400's in the back (2)Fully loaded BTL 15's (2)Audioque 2200d's strapped at 2 ohms 9.5 cubic ft. net crx style using 3 6" aero ports tuned around 34hz Does this sound like a good setup? Is the box a good size?? What kind of numbers can i expect with this set-up??? Thanks in advance, Daniel
