General Fi

... FINALLY WORKS! I rewired the LOC to the rear speaker wires past the factory amp instead behind the deck and it all works now! Apparently the radio puts out a signal no matter what, and the factory amp is what controls the volume. So that's why I was getting output at 0 volume. All I have to say is it sounds amazing! It gets the output and clarity I wanted and the 10 is loud, but beautifully crisp. Amazing products from the guys at FI.

Yo Scott can you help me with those recones or no? I haven't heard from you. Thanks

hi, i've sent a few emails to Scott ([email protected]) but haven't got reply. I intend to get subs but perhaps my email got spam blocked? my email is [email protected] thanks

Is the p chamfer option included with the cooling option or separate. Also what exactly is the "spider" option

I was wondering, I'm from Kuwait and i like to order a Fi BTL 15" subwoofer from their site.. How's my ordering system should be if they are asking for the state? I have a friend here working in an US army base he can provide me his address there so that i can order to the website.. the problem is the state what should i put there in the field?

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 ordered last Monday the 22nd and I just got a tracking number in my email. Does this mean they shipped it out or what?

ive got a 15 inch RE Destroyer that ive been lookin like a mad man to get a recone for. RE will not do it for me so i must look elsewhere, which i would rather FI do it anyways. Scott or nick please help a brotha out.

i need 1 18" basket to recone my MT to an 18. shawn, since you're closest, if your around tampa one day, maybe i could get it from you? let me know how much one is either way, even including shipping to 33603.

I know the recommended power for a standard Q is 1k watts RMS. If I had two Q's setup for IB purposes, about how much power should each see. I was told once use half the power and I have a Rockford 1000 amp, so would 500w RMS work or is that still to much for IB subs, I have no clue???? Don't wanna destroy the subs before I really get them going.

Buddy is torn between these setups. Obviously one requires 2k more power. Aside from that, everything else is pretty close. I think that the ssds wont be much louder for all the extra work - any other opinions?

I don't understand ohms at all. But I'm ordering a 15'' BTL with an audioque 2200 watt amp. So it will just be 1 sub, 1 amp. What ohm should I run? and can somone maybe explain what it means to me?

While reading 'BL Enclosure Recommendations' I stumbled upon the word 'peaking'. Full paragraph below. Please someone, elaborate on this term.. Flatwind: The flatwire coil option simply helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil that comes in the

I plan on putting 4 15" BTL's in the bed of a silverado with a blowthrough, not a wall. Out of curiosity, will there be any type of loss in pressure and sound by doin this? Also, if I make a small wall around the hole with sound deadener all under it, will that make a improvement on the loss if there will be any in the first place. I know that it will help with road noise, so i am doing it anyway, but am just curious.

Whats up people new to the forum and wanting to buy a 12 inch fi q. I just had a few questions should i chip out of the bp option? Im not looking to push the sub i just want clean bass, I drive a scion hatchback so i figure no matter what i do this thing is going to fill the cabin. What amp are you guys running on this? Im looking for a good price and good quality?

Which size q would sound better for rock/metal fast double bass music? Would the 10" hit the higher frequencies better?

I spoke with Shawn last week due to difficulty placing an order online. And he took my info and card # but my bank isn't showing the difference. Shawn please contact me. Want to verify all is good and my order is being made. Thanks [email protected]

i have the last generation BTL (15inch). and i am thinking about buying a second 15inch btl. will it be a problem if i have the new btl, and the old one in the same box?

So i got my FI Q back from a recone like 2 weeks ago. and since it's been hooked up i hear like a rattling type of sound when the bass hits during the majority of songs (some sound fine usually the loud bass songs) i went next to the sub to hear where it was coming from and it sounds like it's coming from the sub itself any idea as why this would be happening? Also if i put my back seats up (my box sits flush with the back seats so the sub faces the cabin while i drive so with the seats up the sub is touching the back seats limiting it's excursion) the sound dissapears and it sounds like clean bass on any song but since it is limiting it's excursion it is noticeably quiet…

There are a couple of sealed videos of the Qs on youtube but I'm looking for more if possible. I particularly want to hear what 2 12s sound like sealed. Thanks a lot if anyone can help

how much would it be for a recone on a bl 15? i want a 2 ohm with flatwind. when i ordered my sub i got a 1 ohm and i have a saz 1500d so i need a 2 ohm. i didnt get universal so can they make it a 2 ohm? and whats the ELW option? oh and im gona send it to fi.

that is all.

I was thinking about getting 2 BTLs(12s) but i would like to get some feedback on their quality and what is recommended to power them.
