General Fi

Hey guys, if anyone has sent me an email or pm over the past 5 days, I was out of town in Daytona Beach for Spring Break Nationals. I just got in the door about 5 mins ago, and still have to unload the van and trailer. I wont be able to give you guys a reply back tonight, but will do it tommorrow night. Thanks for understanding. Sincerely Shawn Fleming Fi Car Audio Tech

I would like to buy a FI audio decal for my car (as big as i can get) and a 4X FI T-Shirt!!!! Please anyone let me know if this can be arranged. Thanks, Russell AIM: giant ass ant

just wanted to let yall know how our lil car audio club did at a local comp this night. we almost swept up the competition but we wound up taking 2nd, 3rd, and 4th we were all in portwars/outlaw (weird classes) second place was my buddy murk with a single RE MX 12 on an orion 2500D stock alt and bat. with 160.8 third was my buddy robert with a singl 15 BTL fully loaded on an orion 2500D stock alt and yellow top 159.9 fourth was me with a sinlg 18 BTL fully loaded with an orion XTR pro 2400 200 amp alt and 2 yellow tops 159.2 (we all played 43 hz tone) first place was some guy with a wall of 4 L7 12's with a 162.* another guy i knew won the legal truck class, with a sing…

Since HawaiianBassHead prompted me in my last post and I'm running a true 900 to 1000WRMS to each sub with less than .70cuft per sub in a my sealed box .....I added this bracing. Whats the concencus boys....good move or OVERKILL????? BEFORE AFTER Also my new terminal install. I like better than the terminal cup!

Heres the install vehicle. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3306527 Heres the problem. These brackets each have 2 8g runs coming into them. Anyone else ever have this issue? The battery bay is rather small, so choices on aftermarket batteries are limited. Help is greatly appreciated.

I'm sick of my mediocre system, and its only been about 3 weeks. My DD m1 did eventually turn on, but is emitting a lot of rf noise. So yay for new amp. I am looking for 1200-1500 watts @ 1 ohm. My budget is 600 dollars. To power a 15" Q. Current prospect amps: US xt4000d DD M1a Diamond D6 1500.1 Electrical Upgrades: None yet. eventually a 180 amp excessive amperage alt and a kinetik power-cell. Power wire is currently 4 gauge with a 150 amp mini anl fuse 8" from the battery. Big 3 is not done yet, it has been too damn cold. The internal Box dimensions will be: 14" tall x 20" deep x 26" wide. 48 sq inches of port (4"x12") 25 inches long Box will be constructed out of 3/4…

i was wondering if they could do a 18" BTL with dual 4 ohm vc

Just purchased a 15" D2 Q Can't wait!

the topic pretty much says it all... i have 2 XXX motors and i'm converting them from 15" XXX to 18" Fi/XXX hybrids. i e-mailed sales@fi about a week ago and haven't heard anything back yet. is there any other e-mail address or phone number i can use to place an order? thanks!

ok well i accidentally sent scott an email about this, my bad, but ill post it on here for you all to read. can you recone a soundstream T4 15. its D2 coils right now, and i think they are 3 inch coils. one seems to be shorting out and smoking up the trunk. if so, how much for a kit shipped to me and how much to send to sub to you to do it? thanks.

as i had anticipated. Of course i still need to upgrade to the big 3, and running a bxi1606d at 1ohm. It's in my 99 Denali and i made the box to 7.5 cu ft tuned to 32 hz. I double bffled all the walls to a total of 1.5 inch thick. Do i need to upgrade to 0 gauge wiring? A bigger amp? I noticed that the BTL was SUPER stiff! Mayb i need to push 3000w to it instead 1600

Everyone else is doing one so I figured I would too. I am only going to show pictures up to right before the final install, since I am re-doing that Wednesday. The HU, love this thing been a very nice HU to me. Some pictures of the equipment 2 12" BLs, flatwind and cooling 2 Sundown 1500.1s All the equipment + my old subs 75 Feet of 0 Gauge (not including the 25 feet already in the car) First off, building the false floor. Had to raise it up on 2x4s to make clearence for the batteries. Running the 0 gauge, I actually managed to fit 3 runs of it down one side of the car Everything just about wired up Carpeting the Floor More pics coming Wednesday Nig…

ok i have two 1000 watt rms ams and not lookin to buy new ones just got these and i need two 12s and id like for them to get lower and louder the a w7 12 and yes the box will be disigned well but im need to know from the FI guys what would be the best sub for daily use to handle 1000rms and beat a w7 thanks i was lookin at the FI Q and BL ones but someone let me know and i want to power them right not under power them

Im sick of changing my mind lol.. Basiclly, I found someone else with the same jeep as me and he says that side firing is the best for ours because the port needs room to load, and it doesn't have the room it needs firing directly into the rear hatch. Any truth to that? How much of a difference is it going to make going from 6 cubes with 96sq/in of port area to 8 cubes with 128 Sq/in of port area? Can someone help me design the box. I mean I have the basic design down, But I need to know how to do the port. Cause I am lost.

Just thought I'd chime in... haven't been around any forums lately, and I haven't talked to Scott/Nick/Shawn for a couple of months. I'm glad to see business is still booming. I purchased my first 18" fully-loaded BTL in August I believe... waited for my 20.1 to come in. Got the 20.1... and we built a 10 cube ported box, tuned to 30hz in the trunk of my 1996 Chrysler LHS. I gained close to 6 decibels going from an 18" SX and an Orion 1200D to an 18" BTL and a 20.1. My buddies Tom (forceofwill) and Robin (iamamp3pimp) with the BTL: After a local show (not sanctioned): It was loud, lasted me a few months... but then I had the desire to do a wall. It started out as a smal…

I ordered an SSD and a BTL on the same order. The SSD showed up today and man is it beefy...but there is no BTL. UPS said there were two packages...but only one showed up. Do the subs ship when theyre done, or do you hold one to wait on another that takes longer? Thanks,

Hey, just seeing if it would be ok to have your logo etched into plexi for my trunk.

ok i know im going to buy a couple 12" but which should i take im between the BL and the Q. i need some advice. ok ive got two DB DRIVE PLATINUM PD1200.1 and they are strappable. so id be getting around 2000 rms i want to be loud and still be able to sound good and pick up lows. i will be building the enclosure my self at about 4.5 cubes tunes to 32Hz. any input will be greatly appreciated thanks guys

Here are the recommendations for an SSD 12" so you don't need to open another window or tab, for you Firefox users for reference. SSD 12

Hello everyone, im new to Fi and have decided to try out one of their drivers, however i need some help. I just recently ordered a 12 BL D2 w/ cooling on the 18th and went down to a local shop where im getting the box made eventually and showed the guy the BL's specs which i had written down so he could get an idea of what he would be building. He took a look at the driver's FS of 37.8hz and thought i was crazy for getting a sub with such a high FS...saying it would suffer in lower frequencies. So i starting thinking perhaps i should of got a Q instead of a BL. Ive got a Nine.1 @ 1200 rms to throw at it for Daily Driving...not SPL comp/burping, etc, just a street beater …

wondering if there is anything you guys can do for a TC9 motor? Just thinking for the future

Hey guys, I thought it would be a good idea if we could have a place to check the status on our subs upon request. With the new contest, I thought it would be a great addition to the board. The UPS tracking number is one way to check, but when your in my situation, about 4+ days for an SSD, I think it would be nice to know how your sub is doing, and when it will ship out. I know the guys at Fi are busy, and although this would be a great addition to the forum, they have the final call if this thread is a go. So I will start. Please include your name, e-mail, day payment was recieved, and type of subwoofer.

Thought I would share some of my install pics on my Chrysler 300. This was built to be a SQ car and the whole theme was to make the car to appear as factory as possible and able to return the car back to factory when that need arrises. There are only 2 factory pieces that will need to be replaced to return it to that form. the dash bezel, A pillars are the only thing modified that cannot be returned to house the factory equipment. the doors were not cut into, actually the factory speaker grills were plastic welded in place and we can simpliy remove the buildouts and reweld them back into place. There was not a single factory wire cut in the car, if one needed cut a n…

Hey I was wondering what you guys could do with a DD9515d. Advantages? Price? Thanks

Sent an email w/ the details. Thanks. Troy
