    Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update on our shipping. We have changed from UPS to Fed Ex. Now when you place your order, you will not get a tracking number until your order actually ships. Previously with UPS you would get the tracker as soon as your order was processed, so customers thought that there order had already shipped, when that was not the case, as we still had to machine all the parts and get it put together. Just trying to let everyone know, what is going on in the world of Fi. Thanks, Shawn

    I have been slowly putting my system together, and I'm about ready to add the mono amp, replace the subwoofer, add sound dampening, and bring my front stage up to full power. To give you guys an idea of what I'm working with: H/U - Alpine CDE-9872 Front Stage - CDT ES-620 6.5" Component Speakers, rated 150W RMS @ 4ohm Rear fills - Stock, connected to H/U, going to stay that way Amp - TMA T320.4, currently hooked up to the front stage, 60W x 2 @ 4ohm, and the subwoofer on 2 channels total of 120W (will upgrade this amp at a later date, its pretty low-end, even though its made by JL) Subwoofer - TMA T12S4P, rated at 150W @ 4ohm, currently running at 120W @ 4ohm The curre…

  12. I want to push 8-10kw to 4 (four) 1-ohm DVC 15" Fi BTLs. (I'm too scared to go much above RMS, you freaks.) What are my options? The subs can be wired to 2ohms. I was originally planning to go with two strapped Sundown SAZ-4500ds but they are now discontinued and unavailable. I then almost ordered a Warhorse but at the last moment read the manual and it's got some fucked-up wiring scheme that means you can't hook up 4 1-ohm DVC subs. After that my options seems few and far between for this much power. Please suggest some amps that actually look like they might be in stock somewhere...

  14. Could anyone give me the specs for a 18" Fi Bl ported box going in a Chevy Suburban. (Plenty of space.) 47 inches in width. More than that in length and height. I want a great port and the box to be tuned to around 30-35 hz. Please help me. Specs with pictures would really help. Thank you all. I am going for low freq's. along with decent mid freq's. I am talking about the box cutting specs. Please help me.

    From left to right: Standard pole cut out of bar stock prior to being turned down. Middle is a pole with a Pchamfer on it. Right is the 'Hyper pole' option on the new BL's. We do all of this here in house on either one of the CNC's or Lathes depending on the part...just an infinite amount of flexibility of what we 'can' do .

    I am plannin on probably going with FI for this venture. It is going in the trunk of a Dodge Charger SRT and will be set up according to what goes in there (i.e. plexiglass or not, ports, etc). Just gettin some opinions with this one. It will also be a daily driver. I listen to everything, literally, so I am open to what you guys think.

    Hey all. I'm upgrading my low-end from 2 12" Xplods and I've settled on 2 15" Fi Qs, with BP Power, pushed by an AQ2200D amp. I'm looking at putting them in a ported box, but I realize this box is going to be quite large (my trunk dims are 40" deep, 19" high, 48" wide). Fi recommends 2.8-4cuft so the box would need to be 6-8cuft right? I'm thinking about tuning it at 32Hz, from what I've heard from a lot of people with these subs. I listen to hip/hop and rap mostly, and I love songs that get low (like Gorilla Zoe or Young Jeezy songs for example). Is this a good tuning freq? I don't want to completely lose some of the "higher" bass notes but I want an extremely solid low…

    in case my subs dont sell, im wondering what a recone costs. the purpose of reconing 1 month old subs is simple...trying to make them dual 2 ohm instead of dual 1 ohm and want to see if it would be cheaper to buy the kits instead of selling my bl's and rebuying another set thats dual 2 ohms. two zip codes 91941 and 91730. if i could get a quote on a 18" dual 2 ohm bl recone kit i would appreciate it. oh btw, you can recone to a dual 2 from a dual 1 right? they dont have different dimension that wont fit do they?

    My gf asked me what FI stood for yesterday because she knows SSA is for Sound solutions audio and AA is ascendent audio. So I told her "I don't know, probably F***king Insane Car Audio since their speakers get so loud" But does it really mean? Is it like 2 people names? Or a phrase? I've never known.
