General Fi

I have two sealed subs 47L enclosures built around the Peerless 830500 driver. This driver is rated at 12.5mm xmax. Details here: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=297-608 Extensive details about my sub here: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/thor-intro.htm Bottom line is that I would like more output as I am bottoming my existing subs. I'm okay with building new boxes but ideally I would like to use the same crossover as it is tailed to work with my main speakers (Linkwitz Orion) Assuming that the 28mm xmax spec of the Q12 is one way rather than p-p, this driver should give me about 6-7db of headroom. I modeled my 830500 vs the Q12 in WinISD and the re…

Ok So I ordered my SSD 3 weeks ago through Paypal with my credit card and my bank account was deducted the second I finished the transaction.... but, Paypal is still "carrying out the payment" How long does this usually take and if this is normal then Paypal is a pretty shitty company imo because there's really no reason it should take them that long to make this happen!! I mean damn, 3 weeks. Anyways sorry, Im not complaining to you guys. I know FI has nothing to do with this order as of yet. But I just wanted to know if this is a normal thing. I'm going to call Paypal on monday and give them hell. They said up to a week if I remember correctly. Invoice number: I-1745…

got a big boner right now cant wait to get that beast in... igot the dual 1 flatwind,cooling,daily option... someone told me the d2 was better than the d1 just because the d1 has 1000rms and the d2 has 1500 how tru is that ? i know you got more wiring options with the d2 but it cant be that bad right?? anywho im going to be running at least 300 maybe 500rms over ,would you guy consider going over rated rms???

I have been competing in MECA for the last couple years, and due to the rule changes Im dropping out. So now Im headed back into a daily set up, no longer chasing numbers. I have both the ufo mag and n2 btl's and love both, I finally got a blazer and am looking for a just a monster daily system. Both my btl's are 12s, since I now have a blazer I will be looking at an 18. Question being....what would fit my bill better, going with a sp4 or just reconing one of my current btl's to an 18. Will be on a saz3500 with the proper electrical.

So im upgrading my system again, I first had 1 Q 15 sealed with the High qts option, then I wanted to go ported, so I bought another Q 15 with high QTS to be the exact same as the first sub. Im now going to rebuild my wall and run 4 FI Q 15s (later ill probably SP4s) the next 2 subs I get will have all the same options as the other 2 but should they still have High QTS since im running ported? I know high QTS is not optimum for vented enclosures, but should they all be the same when it comes to QTS?

My gf asked me what FI stood for yesterday because she knows SSA is for Sound solutions audio and AA is ascendent audio. So I told her "I don't know, probably F***king Insane Car Audio since their speakers get so loud" But does it really mean? Is it like 2 people names? Or a phrase? I've never known.

someone help mee!! where can i find the tracking #? i have two different numbers, i have the invoice number and a receipt number. which one is the tracking number, if either of them, if not where can i find the tracking number? thankss

Nick, what's your email address there, the two I have bounce back.

Definitely a stupid question but since it isn't specified anywhere I want to make sure that the address I ship my sub to for a recone is the one under the "contact us" link on the front page? 5450 Cameron St #104 Las Vegas NV 89118

Its been 1 month since I placed my order and sent payment and have not recived the shipping tracking number or my order

Just wondering what I would get if I order the xxx recone kit? I was planning on getting a basket as well. Does it come with the gasket, terminals, screws, etc? Just want to know what I need besides glue.

Does anyone have any idea when the SP4 12's will be released? im wanting to buy a pair. but there not up on the site yet. 2 SP4's with a DC 5k amp

hey guys, i ordered a btl 15 fully loaded and now im deciding my amp. I was wondering if it is safe to run the dual 2 ohm sub down too 1 ohm so i could just get a audioque 2200 or do i need to run it at 2 ohms and get a audioque 3500?

The SP4 huh? No tech info on this sub yet. When did this come out? Care to share some facts?

Alright, so months ago I blew my subwoofer. It was still under Fi's one year warranty though so finally, on December 2nd, I sent it in for warranty repairs (with all proper contact information and everything filled out). I contacted Fi shortly after this inquiring how long it might take for them to get the subwoofer back to me. However, this question was not even answered and I simply received back something along the lines of them saying they were very busy and had not even had a chance to look at warranty items (which was understandable considering my sub should have just arrived there maybe a few days before this and since it was right before Christmas). Now here's whe…

I made the box for 2 bl's I made the cut ID 11.375 I know it should be 11.125 Will that 1/4" be okay? Will the sub screw in?

I ordered a recone kit w/ basket for a Q. Wondering what all is included with this recone kit--push terminals, bolts for basket to motor, shim, CA glue, etc.? I'd like to have everything on hand when kit comes in.

I am just looking for a few different color FI ball caps.

I really need to contact Fi about an order I had, and I got an Email back saying their inbox is receiving a lot of mail, so it will take awhile for them to reply. So if anyone could tell me another way to contact Fi i'd appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

A friend of mine sold one of his 2 Xcons 15". He wants to change to BTL N2. He is ready to buy the first BTL. He will buy the second as soon as he sells the second Xcon. So I need a quote for one BTL N2 15" D1 fully loaded. We'll tell you the color for the dustcap later. Here is the adress : RUE DE LA DORSALE RES AIGUE MARINE; APT 33. BAT A1 97200 FORT-DE-FRANCE MARTINIQUE (FWI) I've already bought a 12" BTL N2 D2 from you in january this year, and will probably make some more purchases from you. I know it's not fun to fill all those international custom papers, but we love your subs ! Sorry !!!

Hey guys, sort of a newbie question here. Which of your subs (if any) would be best suited for home theater use?? Im looking for four 18in drivers to use in 2 sealed cabinets. Im hoping for a flat response from 8hz on up. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

Do you guys offer recones of any older Destijl subs? This one in particular is a Blueprint 1001. It doesn't have to be exact but I would like it back in working condition.

Was told on 11/28 order # I-17087/00 was scheduled to ship out 11/29. No replies to my emails asking for status updates. Please let me know whats going on....thats all Im asking for. Im in southern california, so if it shipped on the 29th (Tracking # I got 11/14 when I placed the order shows no activity) I shouldve received it by now. Please let me know whats going on!!!

Hi Guys, Ive been using my BL's for ...i dont know 3 years or so. Awesome drivers. BUT I pulled them out the other day and the motor is showing signs of rust. Not nearly as bad as the terminals on the shitty Samsung TV after a year, but its there. Now I live at the sea and things do go bad around here. How much would it cost to rust proof these things. Maybe can add a few extra options such as Powder-coating and using Stainless where possible. I could post pics, but the fact is they still play just fine and its not nearly as bad as this post might make it sound; just sad to see rust on my babies.
