General Fi

Would This Be good for a Bl without any options.

..own one 12 in FI Q which i bought used, getting ready to purchase another. Wondering if there is a way to tell if the speaker i already own has the bp option so i can have matching subs... any ideas?

Hello everyone, pretty new to the forum but not a complete noob in car audio. I just had a q 12 installed in my EXT cab f150 hooked up to a hifonics brz17001.d. Unfortunately the brz is a faulty amp(not surprising) but in the process of getting a replacement. My question is to balance out my sound stage I am going to be putting in 4 new infinity kappa 5x7s(not set on them open to suggestions around the same price) and was hoping to throw a pair of tweeters in too. I was wondering should i go with a 4, 5, or 6 channel amp. I understand that if I want control of the fade and balance I need a 4 channel for the door speakers. But should i wire the pair of tweeters to the …

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra and was wondering if anyone would be able to share a box design that they have in there Nissan Sentra for one 15" BTL? Room is not a problem because I don't use the trunk for anything but for my audio system. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Thank you. You can see my setup I have for now at http://www.carstereo.com/rwussow. Later.

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.

So i'm interested in purchasing one 12" BL subwoofer but don't know what to select for the options. It will be going into a 2008 Nissan Altima and being powered by a Clarion DPX1001.2 and the specs are: 250 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms 450 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms 500 watts RMS x 2 at 1 ohm 1,000 watts RMS at 2 ohms in bridged mode i am just wondering if someone could help me figure out what i would need to select for Hyper Pole, Cooling, Flatwind etc. This would be a daily driver and not spl, and pleas correct me if i'm wrong but would i need a dvc 2 ohm sub wired to 4 ohms and bridging it at the amp would bring it down to 2 ohms right? need anymore information, just let me kn…

I threw an e-mail at Scott a couple days ago, then went on the forum and read the sticky about e-mailing about questions and stuff that aren't orders, sorry. Anyway here's what I wanted to say... two things, my feedback from my Q15 and a question on a 18 BTL First of all, absolutely love the Q15 w/bp, an absolute monster, the ported box, 4.8cuft @28hz was just insane, I was blowing away everything else I heard, W7 on a 1000/1 built to "JL specs", and two kicker setups, one pushing 2kw to two 15L5, and one setup pushing 3kw on 2 15L7's!! Because they had significantly more power then me (rf p1000-1bd) the higher bass tones were close, but as soon as it dropped low, I abso…

Hey guys, I never registered because I always had problems with the email. Id sign up and I wouldnt get an email and it just never worked out. I always read posts in here, and I figured Id give it a shot, and it worked! So here I am. I should be around regularly now. Btw, I got my BTLs reconed today, and Ill have some bassrace numbers Sunday!

Welll I have already decided to go bigger(And i love building things)...So this box is up for sale. Its only been used for a week, but will stay in my jeep untill its sold...if its even sold. I didn't build this to sell it so I'm not asking much... 110 + Shipping... I will replace the carpet before hand as I ran out of carpet the first time lol so the bottom part isnt fully covered... 6 Cubes @ 32hz with 95.6 Sq/in of Port Area Box Dimensions are 16.5 X 45 X 24 Sounds AWESOME...

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

$500 is my budget including shipping and in a 4 to 4.5 cubic feet box powered by a hifonics brz2400.1d . I was looking at the 15" btl, 15" xcon, and the 15" zcon for $30 more. I'm going for spl, i just want it to be loud. also i look at 2 ssd 15 is a slightly smaller box then recommended. what are you suggestions/recommendations ?

hey gonna try and fit a 12 btl behind the seats of my crewcab silverado moved the seats forward I got the mounting depth cleared but want to know the measurement from the highest point of the foam to where the ring meets the wood to leave a lil space so the seat wont rub the sub at all when its running, thanks.

How come it drops off so bad at 60 Hz where other subs do not? http://bigbassman.realmofexcursion.com/sub/ssd.htm

I'm putting my first system in the backseat of my 2004 Ford F150. What I would like to do is put 2 BL12's back there and run them off of either a Kicker ZX2500.1 or 2 ZX1000.1's, but I have several questions. I want to wire them to 2ohms to get the full potential out of my amps, so will I need to get the subs with dual 1 or dual 2 ohm voice coils? As far as a box goes, I plan on getting a custom slot ported box made. I ran my measurements through a program and it came back with these specs: Net Airspace- 2.5 cu. ft. per sub Port Volume- 1.586 cu. ft. Port Area- 80.39 sq. in. Tuning- 32 Hz Will these specs satisfy these subs? Also as far electrical goes, I plan on doing th…

Got BL 15 and looking for a box for it for the past month any suggestions??

I know I saw an illustration somewhere on how to setup the wiring. Can someone post it here so I can get ready for the arrival of my 12 Q tomorrow!!! Thanks much appreciated! Mike

I plan on buying a BL 15 around the 3rd of next month will the magnets be there by then?

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

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 was on a plane from Montana and landed in Vegas so I could drive home to California and thought I would drop by and see where Fi was so I stopped at barnes & noble to get a thomas guide so I could find the location of Fi. I found it, but being the monday of a holiday weekend, I didnt get to see much. I didnt think Fi would of been there for the holiday so, it wasnt any loss for me to try driving through Vegas anyway. At least I know where it is now if I happen to swing by in the future. I'm sorry if this was a teaser, but I thought some might enjoy reading about what I did.

What specs should i use for customizing a box for a Fi Q 12"?

My paypal payment was accepted on June 6th and I was wondering if I was supposed to get a tracking number right away and they would update it when it was shipped..or do they give you the tracking number when it is actually shipped?

I see that the cutout for an 18" BTL is 16.75" when mounted normally. Is the cutout the same size when the driver is inverted, or does it have to be a bit bigger?
