General Fi

I'm wondering if anyone know if I have to upgrade anything if i just want to put a 12" FiQ in my trunk. I want to conserve trunk space so I'm not looking for a full out system just something for quality. Is this the right sub or should I get something else? Any suggestion on head units I been looking at pioneers and soud storm. Suggestion will be nice and ill look into them. I'm going to make a box and should be at about 1.8 Will post pictures when all done. Might not be up until later this year since im going on vacation :]. Switching from JBL to FI btw.

i was wantin to know what subs would be the best to do ..i want something that is goin to be loud but not to loud...and what size amp i should do an all that stuff.. if uyall could help me out that would be great... thaxs

what size and type of wire should i connect to my sub i'm using 4 12" Fi Q on 2 crescendo bc2000d. and i've been using some speaker wire i got from an audio shop. but i wanna do this right. so what size should i use Oxygen Free Copper or Copper Clad Aluminum / should i do copper for pos+ and aluminium for neg-, or go only copper or aluminum. i'm gonna get all my wiring from knukonceptz

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...

I am currently running a 10" Alpine type R off an Alpine M450 Amp. The type R is in a large ported enclosure. It sounds terrible with the type of music i listen to (hard rock). It will play pretty low and get loud while listening to rap, but I hardly ever listen to rap. I only put this in my Jeep as a quick fix (paid 100 for amp, sub, and box) and now I finally have the money to do a whole new system. My local shop keeps trying to get me to do a JL 12W6 in a sealed enclosure running off a 500/1. He says "It will hit hard (tight) and be loud enough for me". I do not want to go with JL especially since he wants 650 for a 12W6 and a box. I would like to go with (1) 15" in …

Just got my woofer in and wondering whats the right size wire to use. 8awg?

Hi! thanks to the amazing forum i put together my first system and havnt looked back so far! for the first time today i had my car measured at the modified nationals in peterborough, UK i have a reasonably small system compared to many on here Consists of; a 15" Fi Q, Sundown 1000-d amp, knuconcepts wiring (4AWG), apline H/U the box is sealed built by me i hit 138.0 music Just trying to get some idea of what i could aim for or if this sound pretty decent Thanks pez p.s if you need to know anymore just let me know

OK so i have a few questions.... in my girls car i have a fosgate T1500-1Bd 1500 rms or so at 1ohm, so what sub should u get the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm? and how would it be wired? second setup is my car, i have a fosgate T2500-1bd and was wondering if i should get 2 subs rated at dual 2ohm or 2 subs at dual 1 ohm? thank you guys

ok so i know this is probobly a dumb question but i have to ask. what is the best series of sub to buy for a daily bad ass bass machine? to fill it in for you here we go...... i have a 86 bmw 325E a friend and i did everything ti this car as a team effort. it has two mephis 5 1/4 on a 2 channle ads, 2 orion 6x9's on a orion 225 and (had) 2 soundstream t4's 15's in a 10 cubic foot box, round ported, tuned for 35 hrtz. the car has two huge glass matte batterys and a 320amp alt on it. now the subs were driven bt a orion d1200...... obviosly way under driven, but it purduced 130 dbs on a normal song ( blur berry yum yum by ludacris). so the one sub re burnt the voice coil and…

I am buying this box and want to know which Fi sub will sound best in this encolsure. I want the best output/best sound combo for 1 12" or 10" I have about 300 watts of clean old school AB power that I will be pushing it with. Here is the link to the enclosure. Subthump

i have a rockford fosgate t30001db a 200 amp alt. a yellow top in front and a kinetiks hc2400 battery in back ive been buyin piece by piece now its time for the subs i want to buy sum fi's but dont know wich ones... is this amp not good enough for 2 15" BTL's fully loaded?? if not what would yall suggest?? thanks for the support

truck - 05 chevy colorado amp - sundown 3500d elec - 2 kinetik 2000hc's. big three. box - 4.5 cubic feet tuned @ 32 hz. two 12 bls' or two 12 btl's? looking for spl. but i also want musical daily driving. i know bl's are more musical and btl's are more loud but i wanna know if one has a significant amount of sq or spl compared to the other. example (not saying its true) : bl's and q's are not much of a difference sq wise, but bl's get very noticably louder.

I am currently running two Rockford T15's off a Rockford T20001at 4 ohms. I'm thinking about getting 2 15" Fi subs and run the amplifier at 2 ohms. What pair off 15" subs should I get, BL, Q's, or SSD's? Also what options should I get? Thanks

I was flippin through the new issue of Truckin and had to ask this. why is it that in all these magazines, with these amazing trucks, the subs in the bed of the truck point towards the tailgate. I am assuming cause they do this there may not be a blowthrough, never really could tell. even if there was, what would be the point of pointin the subs this way? is it just show?

Im thinking about going with 4- 12" ssd's, ive got around 6 cubes to work with and 3000 watts, do you think the subs would get off like they are supposed too?

Whats good guys. So I'm new here as you can tell and I'm planning on getting a 15" Fi bl in my 03 civic. Lookin for some advice here, since i cannot get it at the 3 local shops as they all asked me what Fi is haha. Alright so I cant decide between the Audioque 1200d and the Sundown SAE-1200D. Just saw the Sundown here for $315, but I dont know whether or not this site is legit: Sundown SAE-1200D - Amplifiers - Power Max Electronics LLC If i get the AQ1200d, i would want it to do 1470 watts but it says it will have 5%THD, so will that not sound good?. I've heard the SAE-1200d could do 1500watts and sound good. If the AQ1200d will sound fine at 1470w i will get it, since it…

Right now im rocking a 1x fi q 12" in a 2.5 @ 30hz box, it gets pretty loud, but i feel i have to strain a little to get it to my likings. I want to upgrade and have a few optinos that im asking you about I plan on buying a second sae - 1000D and strapping them and producing 1800 - 1900 @ 2 ohms. So that what i have to work with. Here are my options that im intrested in. I have a LSQ oriented system as you can see in my sig Option 1- buy another fi 12 q and sealing both of them each in a 1.3 sealed box or both of them in a 2.5 sealed box. I could build an amp rack Option 2- buy another fi 12 q and porting them in a 5 @ 32 hz box. could not build an amp rack Option 3- i co…

I have a 18" bl and one of my tinsel leads recently broke. How do i go about fixing it? I'd prefer to send it to Fi if possible but am having trouble getting a response. Hopefully scott stumbles upon this. Thanks -Jeff

I was just turned onto fi and i love their chit. where can i get like an 18' btl. how much is it gonna cost?

Im deciding between 2 fi Q 12s sealed, or 2 15 Qs sealed... If I went with the 15s I would be a little under the space per sub, but which do you guys think would be better to get?

I have a Hifonics bxi 2006D amp would it be able to push a loaded BL 12" or 15"? or do u have any ideas to what i would want? i would use it for daily music. amp runs 1 ohm: 2000 watts x 1 channel . im in a transition of cars (last one got recked not my fault) but im getting a 4 door bmw. so if i could get an opionion i would appreciate it thank you.

Hey guys what would hit harder? 1 15 BTL - fully loaded. or two 15" BLs With everything except full cooling option?

So I have been checkin out his posts and now I am curious. What would be "louder" in an overall sense....4 10" Q's sealed or 2 12" Q's ported. I have no exp what so ever with sealed enclosures and would like to know the answer to this. I know the 10's win with overall surface area, but will the ported cause much more SPL than the 4 10's? Any advice on this would be great cause I have been thinkin about it for quite some time now and it is driving me nuts. Side Note: Probably use a RF4000.1 to 4 10's or Kicker2500.1 or such for 2 12's. THANKS

I'm gonna be ordering 2 of the Q15's dual 2 ohms fully loaded, and wiring them both to a AQ2200D, and I want to know what would be the best enclosure I can build for SQ? I've heard sealed is the best for SQ, and aside from that the carpenter building the box for me doesn't know anything about tuning a box, so i'm pretty sure ported or bandpass is out of the question. Would I be right to assume if I use the max 4^3 feet per woofer it would hit the deep note better? If so, what would be the best way to put both of those into a 43inx40inx17 (LengthXWidthxDepth). I believe i'm gonna mount them from the top unless someone could provide a good option that would allow for otherw…
