General Fi

So is FI going to be selling AA stuff on their website sometime in the future.

This kid claimed to do 139.9db which I don't mind...he was running 2 12" MTX 5500 subs, with a kenwood amp. Next thing I noticed is that he had a sticker on his back glass that says "135db+ at the head rest". I was like why dont you meter it at the dash, he was like if I do that I will hit 145db, and when I do the db comp I dont burp because it would kill the competition. Thats what he told me.... Those subs was in a pre-fab box probably 1cuft per sub ported.... Then I let my system wang for a little bit, lets say the people on the other side of the parking lot managed their way over to my car to see what that noise was or where it was coming from. They thought it wa…

If you read my other posts, you pretty much know what I want. I am doing a blowthrough in the bed of my truck. To save some room, I am debating on doing either 2 15" BTL's or 4 12" subs. I know no matter what I do I am gonna need an upgrade electrical wise. I have already decided on a 300 amp alt no matter what I do (wanting to be extra safe) and big 3. Here is where the question kicks in. If I do 4 12" BTL's, how much more ($$$$ wise) would this costs in upgrades (batteries, etc) than if I did say 4 12" Q's/BL's or 2 15" BTL's???? Also, SORRY 4 BEING A PAIN, but does anyone know if Hifonics amps are good, mainly looking at the Brutus at the moment. Not bad price, …

Just ordered a couple loaded BL 18's and was wondering if anyone has any pics of installs using this sub - just trying to get some ideas. Thanks guys. Dan Soundmekanix SPL Design Team

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums here; first post. Let's see, I have a 1986 Camaro Iroc. I'm building a box to fit in the well of the hatch(if anyone is familiar with these cars). I do not think I have room for a ported box, the design for the box yields a little over two cubic feet. So basically I just need help on what subs to buy. I've heard, and it seems like, that Fi is a quality brand so I'm pretty sure I want to go with them. Anyway, I'm looking between two SSD12s or one Q15. I have had two DB Crossfire 10s before and one 15" solobaric Kicker L5 in my car before. When I bought this car I had to get rid of the Kicker in order to be able to store the t tops. The K…

Well to make it easier and shorter let me just paste the link so you can see what the problem is....: http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/354626.html And since im on this forum now, my other 18" has never been able to go to 1 ohm load. I am hooking it up correctly it just doesnt even turn on when i try to parellel it. What could be the problem?? Thanks, Thomas

First off I should say this is a great site, especially having the manufacture forums. Back early on in high school I was in a friends regular cab truck, with what I later learned was 500 watts going to the subs, and I guess you could say it left a footprint in my mind about car audio. Scroll ahead to me being 23 now and after spending a couple years in performance and looks category I have started to piece together my first car audio setup. I have been trying to learn as much as I can for what seems to be close to a year now, I know some of you must be thinking 'what's with all the wait?' I have learned with especially performance it is not always the best of things jus…

How much do they weight, the weight for the 10" shipped from ups says the package is 32lbs, how much of that is the BL and how much is packaging? I am wondering because I planned on inverting my BL and I am hoping it wont be so heavy that it flips the box over. I am putting it in a 1.2 cuft box, I cant remember hox much it weights but it cant be more than 45 to 50 lbs. I plan on buying another BL, I am having a dual 10" box built for the 2 so I hope the combined weight of the 2 will not be too much for a 2 cuft MDF box to handle inverted.

Does Fi offer a Military Discount? I'm broke...but I need some Fi in my life. I even had a dream about that 15" SSD...god it sounded good.

How much are they shipped to 26851? I want one for my old e12k. The old e cone has a little damage to it, running it inverted now. Also, where could I get the glue needed to put it on? Can I buy the glue from FI?

man sorry i forgot to include the Fi forum in my announcement of a few new vids.....im not used to coming around here too much but ill try to come around more. Its hard to keep up as you guys probably understand "Sactown Car audio" and "Tapout" are the latest......the Sactown one having some decent Excurt' on the subs.... scroll to the bottom.......theres 75 or more vids total http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/index.php...3&Itemid=42

so im at the am/pm pulling out of the parking lot and some guy is egging me on to bump my chit......i dont know him and i dont have anything Que'd up (watchin TV) so with traffic backin up i had to bail. So i end up at the Shell station to get me some gas and before i know it, its a sideshow.....some guy heard me rumble by a few months back and came up and introduced himself to me and wanted to see it. So i show him and its cool, then someone else sees the back open and wants to check it out so he pulls over. So the nice guy i am, i decide to pull up and let him actually hear it from inside instead of across the street from Hollywood Video. You know me, i had to make som…

Ok heres the deal. I have a 04 Crown Vic, front stage only no rear fill and the rear speakers removed from the deck. I have been seriously looking into getting a pair of Q 15s for the last few months but a few things have come up with the family that has side tracked me but Im on point now. I have a pair of Orion 1200d for power but heres my question. I see the new options for the Qs and was considering selling my Orions and picking up a Hifonics XX Thor. I also considered a pair of fully loaded BL 15s with the power I have but I just dont know. I am coming from a background of mainly sealed boxes and this would be my first in my own install. ( I have assisted and listen …

Ok, well i sent and email to [email protected] but i figured that i might just post up on the forum to share with everyone else this information. I apologize about not posting on here first as i read the sticky AFTER i had emailed you guys. 1. Do you sell Recone kits? (soft parts excluding the basket unless i need it and does it come with glue?lol) 2. What Recone kits do you offer (BTL, BL, SSD, Q, RE SX? ______________ and what else?) 3. How much are each of the Recone kits shipped? 4. Do you have a Shim i could maybe purchase? 5. Could you include more information about the recone kit? ( what size 2" 2.5" 3" do you offer 4"?) 6. How many layers do the Recone kit co…

Alright first off, thanks Scott for the help. But I am a newb when it comes to working on the actual subs. How exactly do I chance these leads? PS: These extreme leads are pretty thick compared to the regular ones lol

hey guys, as the topic states i need recones for 1 mt 12 and 2 mt 15's all in dual .7. Can you please let me know how much they'd be shipped to toronto ontario canada? Thanks alot Don Doyle

I know this is a car audio forum so please excuse the HT question. I tried to get an answer out on the main forum but I wasn't getting any responses. I've heard great things about Fi and want to get a pair of 18s for my HT setup. I was told over on the Cult that some tweaks can be made to make the drivers IB friendly. So, the question I have is, what diffence could I expect between the SSD series and the Q series? I expect it to be loud, but I'm looking to hit the bottom octave with some authority. Opinions?

I need to order 2 Q15's for an IB system. Just want to make sure I get the correct build. Need a 2ohm load on each. Scott or Shawn...can you help me with this. Ready to order immediately. Thanks [email protected]

Well, I am making my own "Fi Car Audio" decals for my windows and I need a pretty big copy of the Fi logo. The decal is 6x4 inches. Scott can you give me a copy of a big sized one?

Hey Scott, Are the specs the same on my subwoofer, power handling wise? Is it still 1000 rms or is it more now? I'm trying to figure out the right voltage so I can set the gains on my amp with my DMM. Oh and the shirt is awesome, thanks alot for the shirt and the stickers.

I just received my Fi/SX 12 hybrid in the mail. It looks awesome and ill be sure to get some pics up and a video soon. How long do you suggest i play it low before i turn it up? I have the gain about 1/2 way up right now. Just wondering how long before I can cut loose on this bad boy.

right now i have a loaded 15" BTL (dual 2) and am going to be getting a second one soon. as of now i have a ma audio hk4000d on the BTL. im looking to get either one or two amps to use for the BTLs. im looking for something that will give me around 3500-4000 watts per sub, but not cost an arm and a leg. what do you guys suggest?
