General Fi

Cudos to Shawn and the crew here at FI. I ordered 2 recone kits for my fully loaded BL 12's on the 26th of October and recieved them yesterday!! Thanks for the great customer service guys!!

that can only be done through you so when you see this please respond to my email sir thanks in advance Jybfan04

Im lookin for 2 15" recones for my shocker extreme motors. Had apx recones in there before which were somehow assembled wrong from the factory. If theres a number i could call to reach fi directly or if they could email me at [email protected] that would be great. Im hoping to have these by mid next week if possible. thanks

My 18' Bl comes soon i wanna start workin on the box.......i want that shit loud and heard from a distance while it still pounds your insides!!! hhahaha....anyways what should i build a small box medium or large for my needs...can anyone explain the differences in the quaility of sounds from differnt size boxes???and when i mean large im talking like the size of my lancers trunk which isnt that large but still nice...

Okay, here it goes. Please dont flame me. I tried searching and read through a bunch of posts before making my own thread. I have 2 BTL 15" 3 stack that I bought used and they are supposed to be fully loaded. One is pretty beat up so I decided a recone was in order soon. I got them cheap so I wasnt concerned and I knew they could be reconed. I had these 2 subs in my 95 grand marquis on 2 mmats 2100.1. I have 220 amp alt. Big 3 0ga and an Optima yellow top. The box was a little on the small side. I dont have the exact specs but it doesn't matter..... I was driving my car minding my own business when some dumbass with a dodge dakota towing a 27' camper decide he wants to c…

Hey Scott, i emailed you a while back and haven't heard anything,(i know ur a busy man) so i was told to come here and u might help me out a little faster. I was wondering is there is a way i could get some tinsel lead since mine split and im getting tired of seeing it cryin in the corner hurting. O the sub is a 15 XXX 04 model. Thank you for your time and have a great day. Brian

Yeah, this is last November's Black Fi-Day X 10" they had a sale on.. finally got around to putting some power to it as well as building my first box. In the video, I didn't want to push the sub to the limit to avoid blowing it, it seemed like it could take another click on the HU though. Obviously a video is what it is, but let me tell you that this sub sounded so good and flat, it was incredible.

I'm a beginner and I'm thinking of putting a competition capable system in. More interested in SPL.

Is scott around anywhere??

does any one have any suggestions before i make any purchases.... I will end up with two 12 bls loaded and would like some suggestions on what kind of amp to power these.....also any electrical upgrades I may nneed to make on the car, i.e. beefier alt., additional batteries, etc, etc, . any help woul really be apprec. Gary

Leaving now and going out of town for the weekend, email me if you have questions as i may have data service with my cell phone...other then that i will be back here Sunday night. Thanks! -Nick

Hey guys, need s'more help once again . I got a price quote from somebody online about having a box built for 2 Fi Q 15's... I told him the dims I had to work with (40" deep, 19" high, 48" wide) and the tuning freq (32Hz) and he came out with the rest. Is this a good setup? 30" deep x 19" high x 28" wide 6.1 cu ft tuned to 32 hz w/88 sq in of port. Thanks

i have a 3 inch by 12 inch port that goes in 9 inches which means its tuned to 32 hz ... if i maybe woulda made it thinner and went back farther could it of been louder?

do you guys think the 4 10 x series subs will handle 1500 watts???i was going to do the ssds but if i can get more cone erea that would be cool

my buddy was lookin was a Q or BL 15" which one and what amp would be better sub would be dual 1ohm

Myself and Troy (tejcurrent) attended a local competition today and I believe we respresented Fi nicely. I took 1st in the Truck/Suv 501-1500 class w/ a 146.5 @ 41hz, second in the StreetBass Unlimited class w/ a 142 something playing Gorilla Zoe - Do It, and was runner up in 139.9 BassRace. StreetBass is similiar to BassRace expect you run solo, are allowed to open doors & roll down windows, mic is at the bottom center of the windshield, and you average over 60 seconds. The BassRace was the most exciting since it was my first time doing BassRace. My first two rounds in elimination were cake, but in the finals I was up against Walt Johnson. Walt is the SC BassRac…

Ok the title makes it look a little dramatic sorry...but I do need some help/advice here. First off this is my first post and im not that experienced when it comes to car audio, so please no dogging just try and help please. So heres my problem... I got a BL 15 the other day will all the options besides extreme lead and universal. I got a custom box made thats 3.5 cubic feet tuned to 35hz. For some reason I just cant get it to sound that good...it sounds like theres something loose or something, unless thats the way its supposed to sound... like I said, not too much experience with this stuff. Anyways, today I took it out of the enclosure and listened to it just free a…

I was going to call Fi but damn they have no phone number listed . I have a 12" Q right now in a 2.58ft^3 @ 32Hz enclosure , built it for a smaller space . Now I have more room so I am steeping it up to 2 15" s . Already have my enclosure designed , 7.74ft^3 after displacements , tuned to 34Hz , 124in^2 port area . Going into a 1998 Acura Integra . Anyone know how much it costs? Or am I better off just buying new 2 15" s and selling the 1 year old 12" .

Hey I bought a basket off of another forum member but it didn't come with terminals. I was wondering how much a set of terminals is shipped to 08620 NJ and a boob style dust cap because the one I have is dented. Thanks alot...

I have a 12'' BL in a 2.25 or so cu. ft. box ported at 32 hz, and a Kicker ZX1000.1 running at 2 ohms and it doesnt seem loud enough, and i dont want to clip it to death. im wondering if a different amp can help? its a fully loaded bl so im sure it can take 1500 rms, what do you guys suggest? right now for electrical i have 1/0 for the amp and battery, ive done the wire upgrades for the grounding in the engine compartment, except for the alternator because of it being mounted by my chassis rather than near the hood. any suggestions there besides the alt positve wire?

What are standard shipping prices? Im looking to get 1 12" sent to 68510. Its not included in the price when you go to checkout is it? Any info is much appreciated

Well the user Jacob helped me out A LOT and i wanna thank him. but i like to know other peoples opinions too Alreaday have AF HU and AF Speakers Going to get 1) 1 15" bl 2) saz1500d 3) big 3 upgrade 4) amp kit 5) RCA wires **What kind of fuse would i want to get along with the amp kit?** Thank You

Also curious about this one. I have had some cheap subs in the past with horrible bass response. How do the BTLs stand up for bass response. I have a friend with RF P3's in their "special" enclosure (the plastic ported box) and I have noticed that a lot of the bass notes are jumbled together and don't stand out from one another. Since the BTL's are some big SPL subs, do they do this as well or are they a little better and letting the notes stand out.

Well I'm trying to place my order but, Hawaii isnt listed under the address section. Please help guys. thanks

Hi tech guys, I sent an email to shawn almost a month ago asking for information and I have not yet received any response. I saw the post in the stickies so I did not send it to the order line I sent it to the non sales related email. I did send an email last week to the sales email address and still have not heard anything about that one either. I have heard the customer service from Fi is top notch and I know you are all really busy, but I am not feeling the love Anyway I hope to hear for somebody Thanks
