General Fi

Alright plan on re-building the box and I may try this. Remember my trunk is extremely sealed off, I have computers and what not all on behind the rear seat and with the panel off it doesn't let much air intot he car. Anyways, I want to face the subs the same way, towards the back and have the port facing up and into the car. It would be built so the port goes directly into the rear deck. How you guys think that will work?

Like it says up there, Ive always like the RE SX type dust cap/cone because it so seamless and seckserific. Just wondering if Fi plans on doing that and how many other people on here would like that option?

Is there any possible chance that I could get a re-cone (and basket) for a 3" Aurasound NRT motor? Internal diameter is 3.185" External diameter is 3.254" Depth is 2.380" Bolt pattern is 6 x 4.912" on center Back Face

we all have review of the Fi products... but i felt we didn't have a solid review of this company... So i decided to review the company or more so it's employees.... I have been on this board since November of 2006 which is when i became interested in Fi products.. If i recall (Scott, Nick or Shawn may correct me if I am wrong) but Fi was started in the later half of 2006 I believe around August.. So i have been around here shortly after Fi birth... I have dealt with many direct companies before... JL, RE audio, Us Amps, Kicker, Mb Quart, Alpine and A/D/S to name a few... Some have left a really bad impression on me and some have made a lasting impression on me.... Fi is …

hello, I have some questions about getting an 18 inch fi sub for everyday driving. I see that the Q line is built for SQ and has a hefty 27 mm xmax, but whats the real sound difference of a q 18 compared ssd 18s? and whats the freq response in a moderate sized enclosure for a Q 18? and does the 18s sound floppier than the 15s or do they have the same characteristics, but just move more air? Whats the magnet weight of the 18 Q? I know its a lot of questions HAha. oh and also what are the differences between Q and a BL that is customized for daily driving?

Ok My max dimensions are 15" x 36"x 22" these total up to have an external dimension of 7.18 cu ft and I come up with internal dimensions of 13.5" x 34.5" x 21.5" that comes out to 5.79 cu ft internally I want 32 hz tuning so I came up with a port of 4" x 13.5" x 22" This enclosure is for 2 FI qs with the bp power option once I sell my beloved ssds of course. I am looking to do subs facing my trunk lid and the port unloading to the side with a flair of course so please somebody help me to let me know these numbers are correct and what is the total sq inches for the port.

looking to put a sub in my DD just to add some kick to the stock system. I'v been looking at the Q and the Bl, Both 10" and 12" models. I like realy deep tones but the thing doesn't need to get really loud, i could never meter it. I have limited Space seeings as i got a 2006 Mustang and the truck is a bitch. Thanks Trey.

Well after two weeks checking the post office everyday, it finally came lol. my first thoughts of this sub is my god it is huge...built like a tank. it is pretty damn heavy to say the least. i have never owned a sub larger than a 12" so as you can imagine i am very excited to have this. thanks for everything Scott and the rest of the guys at FI. Im not sure there is a car audio company out there that can match your customer service, and of course top notch build quality for an affordable price. here are the pics i took so far i will start a build thread over in the build log section too.

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

Scott, I don't mean to bother you, but i sent a 15Q to you and it arrived 3 or 4 days ago and i was just wondering if you got it or what. I know the email is down so it's hard to communicate so i'm trying this forum. Please keep me updated if at all possible, thanks. -Mike Weisner

Went to my first SQ comp today and took home 1st place (IASCA) Running 2 Fi Q's Bass score was 16 out of 20 possible points. Would have been better score but the judge said I could have used a bit more power on the subs. (ran them set to Eric Holdaway's ears and some judges like more or less here or there) Way to go Scott da man, judge looked over the install after the SQ judging during my presentation and smiled when he saw Fi subs, said he was happy Scott was going strong (exactly his words). Damn Scott everyone knows you! I will admit I scored 26 points behind 2nd place for SQ due to front stage/imaging issues but stomped ass in install by 48 points. I will get …

Im interested in buyign 2 btl 12" subs i want to no wat the 3rd magnet does also if i could use a massive 3000.1 to run them both?

Hey guys, i was searchin the forum for a little bit and found info on the "team shirts".... I was wondering if Fi has anything like a basic white t-shirt (not the 40 dollar button down one) for sale or anything like that with a logo. Also, where do I go to order some Fi stickers, i couldn't find it Maybe i wasn't looking hard enough, sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times, a little help would much appreciated, Thanks guys!

Im looking to upgrade to 18's by the end of summer, and was wondering if you guys could recone my RE HC 12's into 18's. Right now they are being powered by a Ampman Revo 1500.1(which Im sure you are all familiar with) @ 2ohms cause I let the magic smoke out of the other 1500.1(I had two). Anyways if I got them reconed by you would they be ok getting 1500w+ each? Also could you reccomend a reputable shop that would fix my other Revo 1500.1? I havent found anyone local(Jersey) that I would trust to fix it. Sorry for the long rambling questions

i will soon be getting 4 15" btl's can anyone tell me what would be a good amp to run these with, i want about 2-2500 watts to each. would like to have amps that are 12.5 to 13.8. this is going to be a spl set up and need good clean efficient amps. also if you know where i may can get a good deal from would be helpful also.(batteries also) thanks shane b.

I know you rarley check this, so it's kinda for Scott and Nick too. But could you PM me your #, I would like to head up there Monday and I know you rarley check the forum lol.

i have a maximum of 42" wide x 12" high x 19.25" deep i can use keeping everything else stock. The amps will be mounted on top of the box but an extra Kinetik battery in the back WILL take up some of this box room. After some calculations, i came up with 2.8-3.0cuft NET after displacements for the 2 following setups- 3 10" Fi Qs SEALED off of 4,000w or... 2 10" Fi BLs PORTED at 34hz off of 3,000w I wish i could do 12s but i do not think subs and port up would sound good. PS- i dont have room to do 12s unless i aim them up and can only do them if i port up as well...i have no boxes to test how that would sound either...)

Hey, I just recently purchased a 15Q from Fi, maybe like two months ago. It always worked flawlessly and sounded really great. The last few days the sub would cut in and out while a song was playing and it turns out a wire came undone on the inside of the box so i unscrewed the sub and put everything back together. Today I turned the music on and there was a wierd sort of popping sound on some of the notes when it played and it would only play some of the time. It sounds as if there is something inside the sub itself that is rattling. I checked all the wires about 50 damn times and made sure everthing was perfect. The sub would cut out and i'd flick the dustcap and it…

Ok guys...I'm getting really close to making some things happen and I wanted to know if 6 SSD 18's sealed in the Cargo area of my Tahoe would rock.......I thinking 2 cubes each? I probably need Nick or Shawn on this one. Each sub is gonna get 1200-1500 watts rms if that helps. I'm also gonna have 3 alts and 5 batts so electrical should be ok....Let me know what you think......GO FI AUDIO GO!!

So, I have been debatin on a lot lately what to go with on 4 15's.....Q, BL, BTL. I love lots of vibrations and tons of SPL, so not real sure. My wife who rides with me a lot loves lots of vibrations to, but onlike my current truck, actually wants to hear the music with it...lol. I have no exp at all except watchin video, but you obviously cant tell from that. So, what would you guys suggest. For this install, money is not a very big issue....but like anyone, the more I save in the end the better, lol. Lookin for you guyz' ideas and input. If you haven't read my previous post, it is going in the bed of a truck with a blowthrough.

To get the word out, I think it would be helpful to understand where you first heard about Fi and of course how you ended up visiting their forum at SSA. For me it was right here on SSA, and I am glad that they chose their home here!

im looking for 3-4000 watts its going to be for 2 btl or bl's 2+2 coils. im re-modleing my house right now so cash is kinda tight im looking at 2 pca 2000D's, 2 autotec 2000D's or 2 bxi 2006's what do you guys think i should get? or if anyone has a hook up that will work let me know.

I've got some subs sitting here at the house needing recones. I was wondering if Fi has recones to fit them. First up is a 15" Kicker CVR (2inch VC), next is a 10" MA Audio MA100XE (2inch coil), and finally 2 Mass Destruction Sidewinder 12's (2inch coils). So does Fi have any kits that I can recone my subs with? If not, where can I look to find a kit? I can get further measurements if needed just tell me what I need to measure. Thanks alot!

Ok, well...here this goes, hopefully yall can help. My current truck has 6 6x8's in it by RF, the power series. Gets loud. My new truck, on the other hand, is set up for some components. I will also be making a custom console to allow room for more speakers. What is a good brand that gets loud as hell and can stand up to the 15" BTL's I will be pushing. Also, what size speakers should I put in the custom console??

I know you have old parts laying around from subs you have worked on in the past. Any chance you have any RE RE series voice coils laying around? Yes I realize they are cheap subs and probably not worth the recone. I think I bought them for 56 shipped each(4). But if I get bored one day it could be fun. Anyway, let me know. If not no big deal
