Got the box built today for the 2 BTL 18s, went over to a friends house it is 12 cubes @34hz with 150sq in port, Hifonics XX Goliath @ .7 ohms It Beats:D ... hard ran into a problem, one of the wires came undone and i couldnt figure out what happened, we didnt think anything was wrong at first, it was still crazy loud,but got everything fixed now box weighs a ton, top baffle is 3 layers thick, and the sub is flush mounted in some pics during the box build and some bad night shots the tools and speakers along for the ride Final Turnout: Since i fixed it, i havnt even went on it yet, only to about avg listening volume, got a good bit to go tomorrow :up2somet: neighbors…

Wow so far these things are amazing. one problem...Only have one md2 working sucks but still amazing. here is some pics and a nice little flexing vid. Ill post some more in a little. Da VID...

will banana plugs fit in the push terminal on the bl's

This summer I will be looking to upgrade my system. I am strongly considering an Fi product, but I do not yet know which one. I guess my question is what the minimum and maximum power you would suggest running on the SSD, Q, and BL. I would not be purchasing a BTL due to power requirments. I certainly do not want to blow a new sub, but I do not want to underpower them either. So, what is the power range, as well as optimal for each of the three? Thanks

Ok, here's my question..FI is obviously amazing. I want one!!! I'm driving a 99 Malibu and I want to put a 15"Q in. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me to build an ABC box, a standard ported box, or possibly a CRX box. I want clean and loud...don't care about the complexity of an ABC as I find it fun. My only problem is that I deisng an ABC box at 3.5cu ft, 30 hz tune, with 50 sq in of port area. I'm not sure if taht's enough port area. I will be powering the sub with an MTX 6500d. Any help would be great!!!

I got my first BTL 18 about 5 months ago, fully loaded dual 2 ohm version. It was the fist 18 I'd purchased or even heard in person, so I was a bit skeptical because of the mixed things people say about larger drivers as far as quality go. The last two setups I had owned were a kicker L7 15 in 5cubes tuned around 32hz, and and alpine type-x 12 in 1.1cube tuned around 32hz. I had been trying to find a very loud woofer that still sounded half decent, and while the alpine sounded nice, and the kicker got loud, neither did both very well. The kicker was very loud though, so I was really trying to find something that could out-do it. When I started trying to find out about the…

Well I had been planning on doing this anyways, but now i suppose I have some incentive to get it done faster... My Current System Consists of Pioneer P5700 Head Unit Infinity Kappa 63.7i (3way 6.5) Infinity Kappa 60.7cs (6.5 Component) Alpine M1005 Alpine F545 Previously 2 Alpine 12in Type R's Currently 1 18in Fi BL I am using a 6^f box @ 32hz w/ 95.625in of Port Area I will be rebuilding soon. This box is awesome, but is about 3in to wide, and i want something that looks better(planning on fiberglass) The Amps(Excuse the Mess..it was when I first set them in there) Speakers Head Unit Remote Interface Subs!!!

Recently I purchased two 12 inch ssds from Fi car audio. I was looking for something loud yet retain good sound quality. I first built a box which is 4.5 cubes tuned to 33 hz. I have them hooked up at 1 ohm to a US amps Md2. At first i thought the low end was lacking so i contacted scott and told him and he told me about the copper coils vs the aluminum coils. Well the copper coils made that much of a differnce because i love these subs. They play the lows nicely and get loud. The sound quality could be better. But being that im a bass head it doesnt bother me at all. Compared to a sx which everyone wants to compare them to. I would say they are alike except more musical …

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...

I have 2 18 inch ssds dual 1 ohm with 2000 watts series parelell with the hifonics 2006d and when i turn it up i get a real strong glue smell. My gain is only just past half with the bass boost at 10 O' clock and i tried a couple different 1 ohm wiring diagrams, is it the smell of the box or are my coils burning?

Hi I just got my 12" BL and I'm starting the box for it. The box will be about 2.6 ft^3 and tuned to 33Hz I was just wondering if a 3" port would work or if i should use a 4" port. I'd like to know if there is any difference in SQ or output with a different diameter port.

i really liked this pic so i copied it, but now its gone well its back im pretty sure its a 12" Q any pics from before please share them here THANKS these are some 18" Q pics

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

I have a sundown 1500 that I will be getting soon, but I am trying to decide if I should go with the Sundown and a 15" BL fully loaded or if I should buy 1 10" BL fully loaded and wait probably 8 months for another sundown and BL 10". So can anyone tell me what the 10" BL sounds like, i have never heard a 1700 Watt 10" sub before...

Here my Review of the 18" BL. When i first seen the UPS guy drive up, i was very anxious. i actually ran up to the truck.It was Very funny to see the UPS Guys Struggle with the box. I Knew the box would be big, But this Box is very huge as you can see in the picture. MY first look i was like WTF? So i managed to get the box in my room i immediately Pulled out my knife to open the box. Once i opened the box i seen the Sub in the Plastic MY eyes GREW!!!! ive never seen an sub so big! even my mom was shocked. once i pulled the sub out the box i were even more amazed. the pictures on the website just doesnt give u any justice to how this sub really look in reality. it's way b…

Well to begin, I will report on my expierence with FI customer service! I ordered through the site and paid with my paypal account, the site was very easy to understand and use! Once I ordered, I began harrassing Scott with all kinds of annoying questions. Scott answered everything I asked as best as he could, without complaint! I even sweated Ndmstang a few times, he too was helpfull and understanding. So all in all customer service was top notch. Tracking was so so, UPS sucks in my honest opinion, that has nothing to do with FI at all though! They rarely updated the info for tracking, it always looked as if my sub was just sitting around. I am biased though because I l…

havent heard anything since the crash. but how is progress coming on those 8 inchers? i know yall are busy as hell and all, but are they going to be out any time soon?

Tprj5: my fi's NDMstang65: suck Tprj5: =(

moderator abuse nicks rigging my chances at getting fi stuff, thats not fair

Alright so I have had my system in for a couple of months now and I have finally had some time to really get to know it. Now that the hype of having a new system is over I am starting to listen to my normal music and not just rap, so thats stuff like 311, Eve 6, and Modest Mouse. And i have to say is that, it sounds amazing for being a 15. It keeps up with the fastest drum kicks and its clean and crisp. I could not be happier with the SQ of this sub. Before i had 2 10's and those were amazing for rock but this is just as good if not better, I got the benefit of being much louder and having lower notes but did not give up any accuracy! Now for the SPL side of the Q. This …

Well, around december i received my 12" Fi Q from my uncle who knew me too well i guess. It was given as a gift. So im going to break down this topic into the reveiw first, then into my ?'s Packaging, First Impressions: Upon opening the box, the sub was wrapped well and contained in a nice packaged box. only one of the blue things were somewhat worn, so it was slopped down a little, but as i said it was a gift, and probably not handled the best. But still was in perfect shape When i opened the sub up to take it out and expect at the house, the first thing i noticed was how nice the magnet frame was painted. No scuffs. Later, after more inspection i noticed how stiff the s…

thanks to everyone that has helped me so far, i am finally building the box for the tahoe and i had to change plans just a touch. it was gonna be 48 wide, 21 tall and 36 deep with a port all the way across the bottom so port was 5 tall 46.5 wide and 22 deep i changed the box size to be 48 wide, 35 deep and 23 tall this is for two 18" fully loaded BL's with 1600rms each how big should i make the port to be tuned to 30-32 range

I have had a 15" BL for about 2 weeks now, and all I can say is wow. The sub looks and performs great. I have it on an orion 2500D @ 1ohm and it has not failed me yet. Even though it is rated at 1000 watts, with the options im sure it could take over 3000. It gets alot louder than my RE XXX 15" and just about as low. I cant wait to put it on the TL and see what it can do.

I know SQ is rather subjective, but what are some opinions of BL compared to the Q. Maybe the easier way to do it would be rating each on a 1-10 scale, not sure. Either way, I would just like to know any and all opinions about the BL sound quality. Feel free to compare, rate, whatever. Thanks!

This may have been posted but I was wondering it was pronounced Fi (fee) or like (Hi-Fi) or just the individual F I... also any significance behind the name? Thanks, Matt
