General Fi

Well, just wrapped up a pretty decent showing at Slamology. Dbdrag in a trunk sucks but I did bring my strength in Bass Race to the lanes. I decided to run Street C for Dbdrag and ended up coming in 3rd with a 143.4db. For bass race, I took home 1st in the 129.9 class! I have yet to do a legit meter of me inside my car with my new alt for the SSNW class, but outside my car I snagged a 143.8, and I'll probably do a mid 144 when I sit inside it. Anyways, I made a flex vid with my phone of the low meter score, but ear damaging BTLs. Also, I have a Crescendo XST2s distance test off an Arc Audio FD2100.

Thanks to Godsmack, I found a new place to go which is much much cheaper than the place i would normally go to and although its longer millage wise, its a short trip time wise and much easie to get to as its in podunk and not the middle of a city. So i set up an appointment for tomorrow.. I just have a couple questions... What tones should I bring? Sine waves or what have you.. And do you guys normally do it with your speaker amp off or on?

I HAD A POST UP TO RUN 4 FI 18" BTL'S FULLY LOADED. WITH A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND DEBATE I MOVED DOWN TO THE BL SERIES. I HAVE ONE COMING ON THURSDAY AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY BATTERIES DO I NEED. HOW MUCH POWER. WHAT KIND(S) OF ALTERNATOR(S) DO I NEED. WHERE DO I FIND A DIGITAL VOLT METER THAT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A SQUARE THAT HAS BLUE NUMBERS? WHERE SHOULD I PUT THE PORT IN THE BOX FOR ALL 4 SUBS. SHOULD I HAVE ONE OR MORE PORTS. STRAPPED AMPS OR NOT? EPICENTER OR NOT? EQ OR NOT? HOW MANY 6X9'S SHOULD I GET. HOW MUCH DYNOMAT, DAMPLIFIER, OR SOUND DEADENER. I STILL HAVE THE 1994 CHEVY SUBURBAN 4WD.WHAT KIND OF AMP SHOULD I PUT MY 6X9'S TO. AND I WANT THAT BUTTON THAT MEA…

The website will be updated at 12:00 right.IF THAT IS THE CASE, that means the west coast gets to order there subs at 8:00PM if I'm correct. I doubt the site will be updated *could you please fix the Forum button too, It just refreshes the page.* Curt

I am having a Fi BL 12 Loaded shipped and will be using my current Rockford Fosgate 1000w rms amp to power it unless reccommended to use something more powerful. should i up grade to something more powerful? if so what? sundown is out of stok on the saz1500d until april. any thing else? If so, everything else electrical is stock in the car. Do i need to make any electrical or wiring upgrades at this time?

I WANT TO UPGRADE MY SUBS FROM BLS TO BTLS. THEYRE LIKE 3 MONTHS OLD. AMI S.O.L. OR DOES FI HAVE A PROGRAM. MIGHT BE A DUMB ? BUT MORE DUMBER (LOL) IF I DONT ASK ALSO WHO MAKES A GOOD 3 WAY COMP BESIDES FOCAL AND IS ANY ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE RD AUDIO COMPONENTS

I was reading the sticky "how long will it take to get my sub", and it was saying something about an e-mail i should have recieved from UPS. I ordered my Bl on sunday, so should i have recieved something? I did get an email from Fi giving me my invoice number in a confirmation email though.??

hey nick, i was unclear on what had happened to that sx15 recone with the power options. i got a message from you that said it had shipped last tuesday, however my tracking information never changed from "billing information received" that was on the 14th. i haven't heard from you by email yet so i figured i might try here.... -sean

I was tracking the UPS shipment but I noticed this message today: 02/06/2010 13:15 RETURNED TO SHIPPER 02/06/2010 12:15 PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / RETURNED TO SHIPPER Is this means that the package was returned to shipper again?! The shipment date was not posted anymore but it was supposed to be delivered this Friday.

so i have been tracking my shippment and it finaly got over the border and into windsor. but all of a sudden it is back in the states no in ilinios? what does this mean and am i going to have to pay more dutie on top of this?

I still haven't received my subs!! A tracking email was sent to me on Monday, March 5th and the delivery date was supposed to be Friday, March 9th and it is now the 13th.. Anybody else have a similar problem?

I really need to know this fast. Will the Powerbass ASA-1500.1D handle the load that an Fi Bl 12 with Dual 2 ohm coils give (.75 ohms actually). A fast answer would be appreciated!!! http://sonicelectronix.com/item_10084_Powe...SA-1500.1D.html

I ordered a 15 q dual 1 ohm with cooling on 2/13. I work at best buy and get a great deal on kicker amps. Today the kx1200 dropped in price and is now in my price range. Problem is it is 1 ohm stable and the amp i previously picked out was 2 ohm stable. So i ordered the dual 1 ohm. I need to change my order. I need a dual 2 ohm instead. Is this possible?

So i ordered a sub for a buddy of mine for his birthday. Literally 24 hours later he impulse bought a sub himself from a friend of his. In short, I ordered a sub 24 hours ago, payment processed, order just got switched to awaiting fulfillment...so I know there are another 10-15 business days before the sub is built. I needed to cancel and refund this order ASAP so I dont end up with a sub for nobody. I have sent sales an email, but I have seen issues about response time. Has anyone had experience with refund/returns/cancellations? If so, how did you go about it?

hey i have a couple last minute questions! i need to cut a hole for the sub to fit in! On the Fi web site i have a Bl 15" does the CUT ID: 14.125" mean thats the size of the hole across i cut?? and for the port i should screw those into the box on the top and bottom not just glue right?? Thanks! -Ryan

Would This Be good for a Bl without any options.

I just took 1st in class two weeks in a row with one 12" BTL fully loaded doing a 142.2 coming out of the trunk of my car. I rebuilt my box to 45 Hz instead of 33 Hz and gained 1 DB I think that we are going to wall of my trunk to try and get another 3 to 5 DBs out of it. Is any one else going to world finals for USACI in Omaha Ne this year or will I have to be the only one that represents FI this year? Also let me know what you think about walling off a 300.

Right now in my truck I have a ported enclosure with 2 12" Rockford P3's, 500 watts each. I am new, so to me this is really nice and loud....actually produces a decent amount of SPL, made my rearview mirror fall off a couple times. Anyway, do you think 2 12" or 15" Q's sealed can compete if not beat these. I know they will kill the P3's in SQ, but I dont wanna lose all my SPL. I keep reading these things throw out a nice amount even sealed. THANXXX

I've been considering buying a Fi sub(s) for my '02 Ford Explorer, but I can't decide whether or not I should get a single Q12, Q15, BL12, BL15, or a pair of SSD12s. I like listening to artists such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Armin van Buuren, and some rock. I'm leaning towards a more SQ system that can get LOUD! Which Fi would you recommend me getting and what type of enclosure will sound best in my Expo?

ok i am a big time noob to box's, but i do know ported is more spl and sealed is LSQ. For a BL you need to go ported. But for a ported box which would be the loudest out of the 4 combinations, small box small port, big box small port, small box big port, smal box small port? all i am concerned about is spl/loudness. (it is for a 15 BL.) thx.

dropped it to .5 ohm today and holy chit... only have the 2 videos that i made today with it at that load, this one and the one where my cd player is skipping all over the place. http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb197/1...nt=SNC10101.flv

2 FI BL 18's with 2 sundown saz-1500d strapped, powermaster d3100 in back, 98 ford expedition, about 19.5 cubes before sub and port tuned to 33hz. may try to do a hair trick or something this weekend.

hey guys, just did up a quick vid of my system, some people requested it yeh noticed my amp was clipping, and i mean i tuned it to 30 volume and max is 35 with all bass settings down, to 44 volts using the chart, and now i tuned it again with the bass knob out, and sub lvl at 15 which is max and bass 0 as it always is, and at 27 volume this time and i just miss the part where you cant breath, mann, can someone help me tune this thing perfectly lol, i dont want people to breath in my car lol, jks but yeh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9hZV71aZTw Please rate and comment, not rly necesary to comment lol, but a rating wud be nice 5* for Fi Car Audio

Soon to have one more 18... Check these videos! Besides the little problem I had with communication, Fi ROCKS! You Tube shrunk the videos and made them a little blurry but you get the pitcher.

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
