Here is my vid of my 2 RE sx that scott reconed... Scott did some custom work added a pole chamber and cooling to my sub.. also the btl tinsels... Well the box specs are 9 cu before sub and port displacement... 7 cu @ 35hz after sub and port displacement.. Thanks again FI CAR AUDIO... Scott ill get in touch with you about the recones for my mt's

Just some pics from Tom's shop he wanted me to post....Running 6 BL 18's and 6 Crossfire 4000d's...many many more to come for finals!!! hmmm...wooood Little bitta wall space Hmm...could that be a bandpass?!?! Beginnings of the amp rack... More to come~!!!!

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?

Initial impression is WOW! Haven't built my custom box yet but had an extra one that's 1.4cu ft so just plopped it in. Didn't change any settings on my amp but man, it sounds like there's 2 12s in there. NICE! Just did a search, looked up a few suggestions on what to set my amp at and will bump it when I go to school later. Thanks all for the help and will post pics later this weekend (papers and finals coming up). -Sunny

Here is a link to my box design. Have only ran a Lanzar 1200vibe on it so far as I am not convinced of tuning. Seems to get least cone motion at 33 hz when playing sine waves, so should be close. A bit inconclusive though. Actually the speaker is great, I am not impressed with the vehicle itself for bass. Does not sound as loud as my focus did with a lot less sub, but I know the focus probably loads bass a lot better. Box is 57w, 16.25 deep, and 20 high (6.5cf). The port is 14.75x7.5 and 28.75 long(area 110.6), firing up behind driver. The sub is facing forward on other side. This is supposed to be tuned to 35hz. link to box design I will be switching to my Lanza…

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…

Alright 4 Fi Q 18s. I need a amp/s to do atleast 4kw rms, sound good, wont get hot easily, and no more than $1200. I dont want to buy used anywhere, I need *WARRANTIES* so if there are any link yall can provide I will highly appreciate it. Im looking at prices currently on wooferetc.com.

I have an Elemental Designs motor, I was told there is a recone that fits perfect for this motor.. I need a basket + a recone.. I'm just trying to get quoted as of right now, I AM going to buy it though.. Model number of THE motor: 12K44, May 2003. Pictures: Someone please get back to me ASAP, I've sent 2 emails w/no response.. thanks Fi.

im just wandering if its possible to fit 4 18's ssd's in a non-wall explorer XLT? granted, i know you cant just go out try it out, but i know alot of you guys have big suvs, and might have an idea. right now i have a range rover and i know i couldnt fit 24 cubes in there. any input is appreciated and i dont mind taking the backseat out but i really dont want to do a wall. the explorer XLT would be a later model like mid 90's if that changes anything

45 Bucks an hour on the Term Lab at a well known shop. They have won alot of the USACi comps... They leave me alone or come out with me and they will help me with settings and what not to decide what the best setup for me is for DD and then give me the settings for SPL comps. The guy I talked to(My friend used to go to him as well for SQ comps) said that we will be done in way less than an hour...but the extra time is nice to screw around with things.. Any thoughts on that? I thought it was a good deal

Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, I think I

this is for scott or any of the fi reps... heres what im wanting to do- im working on a show car, and im wanting to powdercoat my subs to match certian parts on the vehicle (baskets to match the exterior color, and top/bottom plate of the motor to match certian trim in the interior) after i order and pay would it be possible to send me those parts so i can get them powdercoated, then send them back for assembly? thanks! (btw- i was going to order 2 tc5200's and have this done, but they have the absolute worst customer service i have ever recieved, i.e.- they dont EVER respond to emails, or pm's on their own forum, and they are generally clueless) Scott has been more than …

my pm's I've sent don't show up in my outbox/sent folder... is there an error on the site? I send one to shawn about the contest and a shirt/stickers thing, and actually pointing out I'd rather have Scott write reconed by sign his name and @ FI on the recones I'm getting but since it won't happen I'll take the shirt/stickers instead... unless of coarse scott does want to sign my cones instead in which case I'd pay for a shirt and stickers instead and may end up keeping the subs lol... unnLESS I could get him to sign other complete FI subs down the line... so people can complain as it adds dBs and that's why it's loud lol eh, 1am here, wife's pissed so I gtg... thanks…

I was wanting to get a Q but then I looked at the new BL and it looked pretty much the same. But do they have the same SQ? I would put the options of cooling, flatwind, and universal.

Hey I am going to be getting 4 of the Fi Qs ( come summer ) and I was looking at getting 2 Soundstream 3500ds to power the 4 18s. What would be the best ohms setup to get on the Qs?

who here compete's with FI subs? doesn't HAVE to be sanctioned, but if you do local stuff post your numbers and on what mic they were scored. and does anyone who runs FI do bassrace or street beat? I know meade does, but I mean anyone on this forum. looking to add some numbers to the FI count so noobs can see what the subs are capable of... and 3 year noobs don't count foo's! Tom

Put my order in around 12:45am (eastern) Saturday morning. can't wait to get it in. look for my build log coming up as soon as i receiver the woofer and router my flushed hole for the woofer. the box is already mostly built and the rest of my setup is nearing completion. i just need a 6ch amp and a $150 run to parts express

Hello There. I don't know if you all remember me, however I had started a log a while back for my subwoofer...and was wondering if I could make another here. Or would I have to make it in the "logs" section of the sound solutions forum? The reason I want to post it here is because I have taken some really great high-quality pictures of the full install and I think more people would find it here.

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

Using 2 sundown 1500d's. Strapped. 2ohm for daily, and .5 for comps. I'd also like to build another box and possibly compete. Wanting loud with decent sq. Will be going in a hatchback. I have 8ish cubes. I'll be using recommended enclosures.

I read th eoptions explanation for the SSD but i was wondering if the copper coil increases the thermal power handling of the SSD i know flatwind bumps it up to about 1200 but i was possibily thinking about 4 SSD's + copper running off of 4000 rms

hey guys, ive been browsing around the forum for a while and i really like it. anyway i was wondering if you guys would add some pics of your Fi woofers as well as your own setup in this thread. thought it would be cool for everyone to see. thanks

The dude wanted something different, doesnt care anything about sq really, and definately doesnt care much about spl. He just wanted it to be loud and look good doing it. Hes going to be running an orion 2500d. We hooked it up to mine tonight just after we got done and are going to have to use alot of althread, this thing flexx's like a mother. But it did turn out looking good! Just for you guys info, its an 18"

Just another episode that happend today when one of my potnas' "felix" came by with a friend of his. Had to give him a quick drive around the block. I think he said his cousin had hella beat.....but this was beater than beat beat beat LOL........hit the link and go to the bottom. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/index.php...3&Itemid=42 enjoy

just like it said up top, what size do i need to cut the holes for the 18" bls thanks
