    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…

    I have been building boxes for sometime and I notice that a lot of boxes have the same concept but are built a little different. When I build a ported box for two subs I normally direct the air out of the front (depending on the application) of the enclosure with a divider between both chambers. I have seen some enclosures with no divider coming out of the front, just a big hole. Does adding or taking away a divider give off a different sound? I also add one in the middle just to make the box more rigid. I am building two ported boxes for a van. Would it be better to port it in the front like I have been doing or to go another way. I would think that by porting it …

  7. this vid was taken by someone out at the Cruise on Saturday nite......we were posted up i swear it turned into a straight side show.........sorry for the poor quality but it should be enough to pass the time OH ya i didnt have a converter for a .3g2 format to Mpeg so i had to use this freebie with the watermark. If anyone wants to convert it for me i can send the entire file to you..its a crap quality vid anyway... the good thing is that at least 50 more people, and their friends when they get home, now know who a little underground company called Fi Car Audio is It was pretty wild out there

    hey fi, i ordered a sub from you guys back in april (19th) it got lost in the mail. then you guys asked me to confirm my address to send out the 2nd and no reply since then. is it sent out? just let me know what's going on. i don't care anymore, im tired of waiting, i'll pay extra for faster shipping if that's what it takes. i'm going down to the states(jersey) the last week of july maybe you have some kind of dealer where i can pick it up. i know your not responsible for shipping... but we have to figure something out here. i paid you 400+$ almost 3 months ago and still no sub(bl 15). all i see is thank you's from people all over the forum for receiving multiple subs in …

    I am not trying to ask "when can I expect my package, it has been 2 months", simply asking if everything is being built on time. If I can expect what the website says, then I will be patient and wait. If anyone knows if the factory is behind with the holidays coming up or anything, please let me know. Thanks.

    Hello, I have a PT cruiser and I am looking at the Q12s or Q15s (4 of each) I have the back seats removed and have about 17.875 cuft to work with, the box would be: WIDTH is 39 in. HEIGHT is 24 in. DEPTH is 33 in. Would there be enough room in that box for (4) Q15s sealed? Maybe able to add 2 more inches to the Depth! I will running about 1500 watts rms to each subwoofer, will the Q12s or 15s without the power opt. handle that much power in a sealed box? thanks.....Brian

I also have a coulple of questions since i dont have the sub in yet. My main concern is i am wondering if the subwoofer is going to fit between the edge of the box and the L port. The distance between the two is 19.5 " is this enough room to fit the sub and the outside of the basket where the screws are. Also what do u think about the dimensions and the design.

    Well my avalanche is officially done. The suspension was getting loose as it was and I apparently smoked the coils. I was listening to white girl when my car suddenly started to fill with smoke. It kept playing after that believe it or not but it was alot quieter and now it's cutting in and out. I know on the main site it says you guys recone other companies subs and considering the fi and AA connection I know this is where to go. However I didn't see any links to follow. Who do I get in contact with to get a recone kit sent to me? Can I get a cool new dustcap? (i'd like a new AA one, but whatever, just sick of the plain black)
