General Fi

ok guys im in houston and need a custom box. got a f150 single cab and have a 12 bl. specs say at least 1.8cuft. went to frys electronics and those idiots wanted to charge me 450 for a ported wedged box. thats a ridiculous amount of money. and then they have never heard of Fi car audio. so i was like man i need to leave this place. if ur in houston and know of a place where i can get a good ported box please let me know. really wanna start bumpin by beggining of summer

i just recently bought 2 BLs and got them installed last friday and only 2 days after having them one of them blew. i couldnt tell u how bcuz i wasnt playing them near loud enough. i tried blaming the store that installed them bcuz they did such a sh***y job lol. do i send an email to [email protected] to report this and send it back to them?

ok so i have a 2006 chevy silverado krew cab and im going to remove the back seats and install front seats in the back(without the center console) now i know for a fact that i will be running only 1 and i want the BTLs but i dont know what sub to go with 12 or 15. also i was going to use a MA HK4000D amp to run the 12 but i wouldnt be sure what to run the 15 with if i decide to get that. im a do it your selfer and i have the time and the space to wire everything and make the box im just stuck on that issue.i listen to rap/metal/rock.

i have finally landed on fi as my sub. now i want (2) 18's and i am working with about 10-12cubes in my trunk. they will be powered with a zx2500 and ample electrical. i want to try a new sub so this is what my infatuation with 18's is. i dont think that the bl's would satify me but have also heard that powering 2 btl's with only 2700 watts would be a waste. i want to get the most bass possible from my setup with what i have and want. what would be the best suited sub for me considering that i want 18's?

ok so i ordered my sub right around valintines day an it took over a month to get here an i finally got time to build a box this week end an hook it up! it never seen power till to day an i thought my amp was fried at first i couldnt get any sound or movement out of it at all.. so i hooked it up to a friends amp an it barely played so we put it back in my car on my amp. when we did that it finally started to play on my amp.. but it barely moves an you cant even here it hardly unless you get close to the sub. i tryed rewiring it a couple different times an it still just doesnt play hardly.. what is wrong with it? i know it aint the amp because i hooked my tens up an they …

I currently have a pair of Q's each running off 1500 watts. I wanted to do a sound quality setup but now im wishing I would have gone with the BLs because all i really wanted to do is get loud. is there any way i can exchange my pair of Qs for a pair of BLs. Thanks Keith

I was just wondering how backed up you were.... I know it took almost no time to get 2 sets of bl's 3 months ago. Was wondering if it could possibly be the same this time around . I did email, and no reply. But no worries, same thing happens to emails I receive. Some info would be appreciated... thanks BTW.... order email is [email protected].

Hey everyone, I've had my fully loaded bl 15 for about 5 1/2 months and i love it. But now all of a sudden im having some wierd issues. One morning when i got into my car and was driving i noticed i had no bass at all so out of curiosity i turned it up to listen closer and all of a sudden the sub kicked in but when it did it was distorted sounding. Now ever since its been the same way and not to mention its not very loud now. Even when i first got it and was using my stock battery it sounded louder and better. Could my setup be clipping? Any thoughts? All help is greatly appriciated!

hey all I was wondering in your installs with Fi subs 1. What gauge speaker wire do you use for the subs ? 2. What gauge power wire for the amps powering the subs...?? 3. how many watts going to you subs (per sub) I am in the process of finalizing my system and was going to do a look over all my wires.... thank you all i appreciate it Cliff

Ok can someone please explain in detail what the differences are between a 15" woofer and a 12" woofer in playing ability, frequency, and tuning

its so stiff right now i can barely move it with my hand, the coils on the dmm read .7 ohm's and .5 ohm's. regardless of how i wire the VC's it ends up at .5 ohm's, not sure if its my dmm failing or if i just fail at life, any help? final ohm load should be 2ohms FI says .7 ohm's for D1 set so it should be ~1.4-1.5 ohm's

I went outside this morning to work on my alternator that has been giving me problems and when the garage door opened up the was a fedex guy digging through his truck. Since he was on the other side of the road I just didn't think anything of it. When he dug out a box, struggled to pick it up and then started walking to my house I freaked out. Without any shipping info or warning at all my BL 15 came in the mail today!!!!!!!!!!! I am order #1624 ordered on April 2nd and got my sub in perfect condition today April 26th. Don't even have a box made... Thought it would take a lot longer to get it here.

thanks to scott and FI.i just won the NSPL amature 1200 amp - 2400 amp current draw class and set the world record with a 163.1 dash and a 163.9 hardcore with bad batteries.FI rocks,great subs.voltage droped to 10.3volts when i burp from 16.7 volts so i'm happy with that.i know it will do a 165+ with these subs.4 -btl's 18's fully loaded and poweracoustik a3000db amps.again thanks scott and FI.

How could i get some Fi stickers like some 4" ones or so

i know a guy just made a thread about a tc9 recone but i didn't want to jack his thread. so yea im wondering how much a dual 2 ohm 15" recone would be for a TC-9+ motor, i already have a 15"12 spoke basket for it. shipped to zip 55407. Thanks -Lance

what happened to missing link audio..the number on the website is wrong its an illinois number and they say their in vegas..i need a module for my car because i just put an alternator in and my battery light stays on..thanks any help would greatly appreciate

I currently have two 1ohm stable amps, soon to have my two dual 1ohm subs, I wanna strap my amps to have a final 1ohm load per amp, I understand that that when strapping final load is split in half, so when I wire it, would I wire each sub individually series/parallel so each sub is 2ohm? Just wanna make sure I got this right first time strapping So basically Step 1= series/parallel Step 2= + of each sub to + on master Step 3= - of each sub to + on slave Final ohm per amp 1ohm.........I think??

ordered on may 1st im just curious if my subs are getting close to ready i dont wanna rush no one just asking

Hey there, I would like some help with dimensions for a box for my SP4 18 subwoofer. The SP4 18 will be powered by a crescendo 3500D. I only have very limited space inside my trunk, but I want a ported box in every case and I want it tuned to 34 Hz. The maximum dimensions are: Width: 86 centimeters Depth: 47 centimeters Height: 65cm (I want to stay at max of 60 centimeters if possible) greetings

do they make 8s and if so does anyone know howmuch they are? i kinda am stuck between 2 12s 2 10s or 4 8s. i dont know what to choose if you guys could help out that would be great.

I've been trying to figure out some theoretical expectations from a few subs using Winisd. I want to use a sealed enclosure, but I can't figure anything out with the SSD (12 inch Dual 2 ohm) until I know the higher qts. Does anyone know what it is? Hopefully I'm not being dumb and just can't find it. I know the Qts is figure by using the Qes and Qms numbers, so which ever changed would be helpful too.

I have a Q 12 in a sealed box powered by a Cadence TXA-1000d. I'll listen to some bass heavy music for a bit, then when I get wherever I'm going I will check the sub on occasion and the cone is pretty dam hot! what would be causing this?

just wanted to know if anyone from here was goin to scrapin the coast in biloxi, ms at the end of june. 23-24 curious to see how many fellow Fi'ers will be there. me and the crew are going, im sure there will be another SPL show like they had last year. my truck will be finished being bagged by then and i should have sub ready too. ill deffinitely be entering the SPL comp.

Sold my Current system this pas week, along with a old fender amp, and cashed in some savings bonds, brought me out to 1124$ I have spent about an hour to 2 hours picking out what I'm gonna get and I've pretty much narrowed it down after looking over multiple options and I've finally got it down pat! Subwoofer: Fi BTL 18" fully loaded Amp: Massive Audio P1500.1 3000W Class D Pro Series Amplifier Capacitor: SPL CP5.0 5 Farad Capacitor In all left me with 179$ which, I honestly didn't think I would come out with that speaking shipping etc. So, I'm hoping to use that to buy a box or have one made, so tell me what you think!
