General Fi

i just found the IB series from Fi today. i was looking around and found a site called bladeice.com. they carry AA and Fi subs. i checked out the IB series and wondered why the Fi site didn't have them. was this just news to me?

Hi, I am completely inexperienced with electrical stuff and have a question about which amp would be better. I have a F-150 extended cab and am planning on getting rid of the back seat to open up a whole lot of a room for a box because I am tired of little systems and am looking to go "all out" this time around. I want to get 2 15 inch BTL's and am not sure which amplifier would be the best for them to get the most out of them. This question is assuming I get all the required electrical upgrades. I have read a lot of things on these forums and most people seem to like the Sundown amps. However I have had my eyes on the Memphis MOJO 16MCD 4kw. Also the Rockford Fosga…

hey i have a 15" BL and im in the market for a good amp.. i was looking at the Hifonics amps. are the alright?? they put out alot and they on the cheaper side..or should i just go big and get a good alpine or kicker i was looking at the Hifonics BXi2006D it puts out 1300wrms at 1 channel is that good enough heres the link i found it http://store.realmofexcursion.com/ if someone could help that would be great any suggestions or anything like that =Thanks

I already have a set of cdt cl61A's and tw24's amped with a RF 4002 with a 4 gauge kit from kk installed, and am going to get my SSD shortly. I need to know what kit to go with for the next install. Do you think I'd be fine with 4 gauge or do I need to go with a 2 or 1/0 kit? Thanks

I have the choice of buying a Hifonics 1210 at a discounted price, a Kicker 1500.1, or my personal fave the Audioque 1200D. The kicker isn't 1 ohm stable and I have a dual 2 ohm Q coming in. The hifonics isn't reliable at one ohm from what i've seen/researched Audioque, I heard nothing but great reviews for. Thanks guys

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I know nothing outside of Rockford amps. I am getting some BTL's fully loaded and am curious, what would be better to put on each one. The Kicker 2500.1 or the Sundown 3000D? This is for daily driving. Would the extra $400 be worth the extra 500 watts per sub? How good are Sundown, heard Kicker were good. Thanks in Advance

will this amp http://www.lanzar.com/itempage.asp?MODEL=MXA282 handle good with 1 fi bl or btl 15' i just plan get one of them and bridgeded it. for temp until i get newer amp that match up... i know my amp is small but im so curious. are this box will be ok with suit well ok with? i cant afford a real custom box.. so first one link of box i wasnt sure of it gonna fit my car since its more than 18' height my car is honda civic 1995 2dr.. http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Co...r_by/sell_price or http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Co...r_by/sell_price hope hear from you guys soon thanks

i will be using a single ten in my truck and i want it as loud as possible, i will be using 1500 watts which line will perform the best??

I recently sold my two Alpine type X 12's and now I want to "upgrade" to a single Fi woofer, 15 inches. I have a string of questions for you all expierienced with Fi products: I have a single Alpine MRD-M1005 to power whatever driver I end up choosing. This amp puts out 1000 watts @ 2 ohms RMS cleanly (amp birthsheet actually states closer to 1100 watts). I see THE the SSD would almost be a perfect match for this power rating, but I feel like im selling myself short. Id really like to get either the Fi BL or the FiQ. If I understand the specs correctly though, these are 1500 watt rms subs. So assuming I dont get any extra upgrades done to the subs, do you think im askin…

Im looking to buy a FI 15". The sub will be in a jeep. Which application would be the best? I was thinking about the BTL. For the most SPL which options should I add? Also what type of amp should I be looking at? Im not trying to spend a ton on an amp. I found a nice Planet Audio thats 3000@1ohm. Me and a buddy will build the enclosure. Let me know! Also...is the BTL alotttt louder than the BL?

HI im a newcomer to fi i wanted to know wich fi speaker would be best for me. i am a daily driver no competions and i listen to everything. Somone told me to get the bl but wanted a wider opinion!! ps. i have a regular cab truck and i seen ppl put em behind the seat wat is the debt counting speaker and box ( dont trust spec. from past experiences)

Hey everyone. I am new to not only this forum but to FI as well. I have always had "eh" subs that are sold in my area. I currently have 2 10" RF T1's in a 3 cu ft enclosure....I am lookin to upgrade to something louder and better and am not sure of which sub to go with. I listen to 75% heavy rap, 10% techno, and 15% heavy metal. I like SPL mostly, but want to retain some SQ. Are the Q's or BL's a better replacment for what I have?

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!

What I have now: 2006 toyota corrolla Cadence TXA1000D (1000rms @ 1 ohm) I have about 6.5ft^3 airspace before driver and port displacement I want one ported sub ( a 15" or prefferably an 18" if I have enough airspace after port and driver displacement) I'm undecided whether to go with SSD, Q, or BL with my airspace and power. This will be for a daily driver with an occasional trip to local competitions for fun, so a little on the SPL side. Any help would be greatly appreciated Beau

I wanna go with a 15" For sure. Debating if i should run 1 or 2. I have a DLS A6 1200watts @ 1ohm. I would like a nice low end, maintain loudness but sound good at the same time. Daily driver, not competing etc.. Vented Application, truck install. I figure go with a single FI q 15" w/out bp power, and call it a day. Any opinions, would be great! BTW - i been trying to contact ficaraudio, past few days, for a shipping qoute! No response. If i can't get a qoute, i have to look elsewhere soon!

Hey whats up fellow members...not really liking my setup need more power but my question is would 2 audioque 2200d amp be better for my FI 18 btl fully loaded...I have 2 USamps MD-3d right now running on ea..have the big 3 done all 0 gauge wire 5 optima batteries 300 amp HO alt voltage is running from 14.5 to 13.8 on certain songs dont get me wrong its loud just not enough so which amps are better if i left anything out let me know thanks in advance...

Hi! So I´m planing to buy my first BTL 18" in summer. The amp that i´m going to use is Alpine MRP-M2000, because I dont live in America, I live in eastern europe and amps like hirfonics or sundown are hard for me to get (only at ebay, but this includes high transport costs and i´m not very rich either). I´m right now upgrading my highs and mids and gona buy soon a new alternator so everything is getting slowly ready by the time. But one thing is on what i´m not so sure jet: should I get dual 1 or dual 2? is there all in all any big diffrence? and how i wire them? I´v read many topics on this forum already, but haven´t got any exact anwer. My amp, what i´m going to buy: 2…

my friend has a RF T2 15 2010 model, and my other friend has a JL w7 13, and im going to be a proud owner of the FI BL 15 fully loaded... we were wondering which would be a good quality all around sounding woofer? i prefur FI but i would like to get more opinions on this topic...

So, which of the two would you do and why? About how much SPL will the 4 Q's produce. I am open to just about anything, and really do listen to EVERYTHING. I ALSO FORGOT TO ADD ONE MORE CHOICE, BUT OH WELL. 4 Q'S PORTED.

I have been a fan of Fi for a while now and want to put a system in my 07 corvette. I will have enough room in the hatch for 2 12" subs but I am unsure of which ones to buy. I will listen to hip-hop and rap music. I will dynamat the entire car also before the install. I want the bass to be louder than piss, yet still maintain the highest level of cleanliness. I dont like bass that gets distorted when it is turned up. Which would be the best sub to go with? I guess this could also mean, if i get the BTLs can they be tuned to be super clear and very responsive. I will never put this in a competition unless its in a parking lot with a buddy and a couple friends watchi…

Ok, im looking into get a pretty nice system, but i cant decide on which sub to get.. 1. new orion hcca 15" OR 2. 1 fi btl 18 was going to run them on a hifonics BXi 2607D at 1 ohm.. what you guys think, im kind pressed for money.

I have a dilemma of which set-up to go with. I already have all the stuff, except batteries and maybe a high output alternator if I was to need one. I need the extra space in my trunk, 96 honda accord coupe, for battery/batteries/mid-range amp, and space for me to get to my spare tire. So I can only use about half the space for the box. I bought the two 12" SSD subs because it was a good deal but then right after I bought them, I also found a good deal on two 10" SSD subs. But here it is: Two 12" SSD subs, bp option, copper coils, D2, with an IA20.1 amp at .5 ohm in a minimal recommended box of about 3.5cu ft. tuned to 34hz. I would probably get a deka 9a31 and maybe a hi…

i have a maximum of 42" wide x 12" high x 19.25" deep i can use keeping everything else stock. The amps will be mounted on top of the box but an extra Kinetik battery in the back WILL take up some of this box room. After some calculations, i came up with 2.8-3.0cuft NET after displacements for the 2 following setups- 3 10" Fi Qs SEALED off of 4,000w or... 2 10" Fi BLs PORTED at 34hz off of 3,000w I wish i could do 12s but i do not think subs and port up would sound good. PS- i dont have room to do 12s unless i aim them up and can only do them if i port up as well...i have no boxes to test how that would sound either...)

so i have decided to go with fi subs and audique amps for my next setup. it will be going in a 99 grand prix gtp. budget is 1500 for the bass setup. it will be playing mostly hard rock and metal, with a little rap on the side. goals for this system are mostly output, i obviously don't want it to sound like complete crap, but the main goal is output. also this is my daily driver, no comps for me. so after a little background info on what i'm looking for, back to the root question... which setup would have more output? option 1: 4 fi ssd 12's running on an audioque 3500 option 2: 2 fi btl 12's running on 2 audioque 2200 plan was to go ported to 33 hz on either option. opt…

This will be going in the bed of a truck and using a blowthrough. After much consideration, I decided to downgrade my system a little, well, halve it to the above. All 3 will be in a ported enclosure obviously. I listen to everything, but mainly rap and love some good SPL. SO, what would you do and if you want, why...... Would go with 4 15's all around, but dont wanna lose my entire bed of the truck. 4 12's can fit straight across with ports on the top.
