    A while back I posted a topic about one of my subs having a softer suspension than the other and I knew this would happen because one was bought like several weeks before the other but figured eventually they both should level out to have the same stiffness of suspension but that isn't the case. After doing some testing last night a couple of buddies of mines who happens to be a serious competitors bought it to my attention and said it may cause somethings such as cancellation or something then again it may be nothing but you never know. Again I have bought this up to FI and said it would be fine and eventually level out but I am worried that one of the subs may have a be…

    I am having the hardest time deciding on a sub/amp combo for my new car. I am putting this in a trunk so space is a factor. I'd like to retain some space. The poll lists some of my top choices. I'm also considering porting a Q 15 with one of the amps listed or even porting the SSDs if I decide I can live without a little less trunk space. So my question to you would be if you were looking for LSQ, which of these setups would you choose? If you would do something else, please tell me what that would be. Just FYI, the electrical you would be working with is a stock electrical featuring a 130 amp alternator.

    so i got my new btl 18 and i love it. I was not expecting it to have so much output but still keep its sound quality. Love it guys so keep doing what you do. So here is the box i built for it this last weekend. 7 cubes with disp tuned right round 34 htz. Most corners 45 with fiberglass with double baffle. The sub is ran off a Hifonics gx3000, and the set up is in a 1998 chevy astro... more 18s to come soon

    Hello, i am wondering if FI car audio can sell me a voice coil. I have all the neccessary parts for my 15" dayton audio MK3 recone but the vc. pierceaudioproducts sent me the wrong one, and when i reordered they didnt get it in. anyway the simpl specs are 2.5" diameter, 3" height, 2" winding, Dual 4 ohm impedience. i would also be fine with single as long as it is powerfull. I emailed FI but i havnt recieved a reply yet, so i thought i would try here. I am trying to get the caliper measurements for it. ALSO, i have various 2.5" voice coils and various spiders, baskets, etc., if anyone is intersested please say so. Thanks

    We are putting the Fi Team Shirts up for sale to forum members for a limited time. Simply put, Im not going to stock these and they will be made to order... once this is done, we wont have them again. $43 shipped for Small-XL $45 shipped for XXL $48 shipped for XXXL and XXXXL (will receive confirmation on availability of these for such a small run on Friday) These are rather expensive to make given front and back logos and the stitch count... and Im sorry to have to charge this much... but you too can look as dapper as Steve Meade when an eyeball falls into your lap 2 weeks to order, then another 2 weeks to get them out to you.

    I am hoping that all of you with more experience in the car audio world can help me out. I am designing a home theater installation for a friend. My friend has never heard an I.B. (Infinite Baffle) sub but he plays guitar and has mucho experience with car subs. He is of the firm opinion that 15" and 18" subs cannot hit like 10" and 12" subs. I am recommending an I.B. sub installation, using 4 Q18's in 2 manifolds mounted in the attic, with each manifold having 2 drivers mounted on opposite sides but facing in the same direction and wired out of phase, for that extra 2nd harmonic cancellation. I had to sell my house (divorce) and am leasing now so I can't demo an I.B. sub…

    hi Guys, I havent posted here in a while, but i am in need of some guidance. I just ordered 3 hifonics BX1606d's or whatever the numbers are.... Now i have to order some subs, I can't decide between Q's and BL's. I have no idea what all the options are for on the bl's and if someone could explain all of them that would be awesome. I was planning on putting 1 of the hifonics on each, and i also need some advice on box size, tuning etc. SQ is not really a concern of mine, and i have made all the electrical upgrades to the car so everything will work with the power. The Truck is a 2001 GMC Sierra EXT cab, similar to the red one with the 4 15" SSD's in it. My other quest…
