I want to purchase 2 of the Q18's for an attic mounted IB line array in my home theater. I am a member of the "IB cult" and AVS forums and I understand you guys can do some custom mods on these to gear them specifically for IB installations. I will be running them on a Behringer EP2500 amp and using the DSP1124p feeback destroyer pro. For 2 of these in an array config, what ohm rating, voice coil type, and wiring config would you guys suggest I use? I sent a few emails over the last 7-10 days, but cannot get a response so I thought I would post here. Any feedback or help would be much appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks in adv…

Sorry for the noobness of the question, but I really don't know???? Does it go on top of the rubber rim or inside the rubber rim against the metal frame that the surround attachs to?

I am thinking about running 3 Q 12's in a boat. I had already made boxes that are .95 cubes a piece when I ordered some Brahmas. Due to Adires current situation the brahmas will not be coming. Anyway, can anyone tell me how the Q works in a sealed box, and if possible how it compares to the brahma. I have not ordered an amp yet, but was hoping to give each sub about 800 watts. Is this enough or do I need to find a larger amp? Right now the only other line I am looking at is TC. I am between the TC-2000, TC-3000, or Q. I also thought about a SSD, but it seems the Q puts out more spl as well as better sq, which would be perfect as I am looking for a LSQ install. Th…

I have an 18'' Q and I saw that you recomend 6 to 10 cubic feet. What would be the difference in having a box that was 6 cubic feet rather than 10 cubic feet. I was going to tune to 28hz and I listen to country, rock, and rap about all equally. Will the smaller box change on how the sub performs and sounds? Also what's a good idea on how much port area to have. I always get told different answers. Some say 10 inches per cubic foot than some say 12, 15, 16, etc. Thanks

Alright, so tonight i was planning to sit down and order all my wiring, connectors and terminals for my upcoming install. Eclipse CD7000 Hertz High Energy comps 2- 12" FI BL's 2- Sundown 1500's 1- Sundown 4/100 2- Kinetik 2400 220 Amp Iraggi Alt. 2006 Grand Prix I started mapping out my runs and trying to get figures for wiring, terminals etc when i realized i wasnt exactly sure how i should wire everything. I plan to finish the big3 as im installing my alt, thats no problem. Then run my 1/0 runs to the trunk where my 2 kinetiks will be. Here is where im confused... i know i need to run the batteries in parallel. This is as far as i got... Should i use dual battery term…

Got my Q15D2 put in the truck yesterday..... heres the system: Pioneer Premeire P590IB Elevation Audio 6.5" coaxials in front doors (to be replaced tueday with Autotek MM6.5" components on Autotek MM75.4) Fi Q 15D2 Autotek MM1400.1 @ 1 ohm ~3.0cu ft tuned to something like 32-34Hz. pics later.. that sucker is loud.. sounds nice.. mmmmm how do i get a sticker? someone said it'd come with the sub but i didn't get one

hello- was wondering if you can do any recones on a motor with a 4"coil? have a few motors laying around, would be nice to make working subs out of them....

Okay here is the setup. 10 inch SSD in a 1.7ft^3 enclosure w/ 6" Aero ~26" Effective The goal is to peak around 48 - 52hz. I have a 20.1 for power (D2 SSD). Vehicle is a 1998 Explorer TWO QUESTIONS 1 - Do you think it will be effective? Or a GOOD place to start? 2 - Do you think it will take the 20.1 for burps?

my brother just placed an order for a 15" Q with dual 1 ohm coils with out telling me. and he doesent know much about car audio. hes running a soundstream 1500D, do yall think the sub and amp will be alright running at .5ohm? or should i try and change the order to a dual 2 ohm coil?

Hmmm...What could this be?? New Sub From Fi? I think so...But how big? This Big... I have a Shoe Size 15-16 Should have it up and running either friday afternoon or saturday morning...

Well today i recieved the Dustcap for the Fi X 10 i was going to write a review on, (thanks Scott) and went out to the garage to glue her on so i can get some listening in tomorrow. Welli get out there and my CA glue is rock solid, i havent used it in probably a year so i guess it was time for it to harden up. So i guess i gotta wait now til i can make it down to Hobbytown or somethign to get some glue, as i dotn wanna play it at all without the dustcap because that wont be a "fair" review. Thanks again for the dustcap and the decals Scott, i'll be sure to post up my thoughts when i get it together finally lol. Also whats the price a Fi X 10 goes for normally so i can kn…

Ok got the cut out.. Now I need to know how the hell to install this thing. The rubber surround comes off(the part with the holes on top and bottom...So i pulled on it...and theres no holes through the basket..I dont want to go drilling through the sub so im wondering whats going on...

What is the weight of a standard BTL 15? Thanks.

Hey Scott I knew there was still some kinks to work out with the framing???? on the woofer ......but I see them on the site set to sell.... I picked up one of the 12" SX hybrids a while back...and never installed it....I realize that I need a 10" and something that I can probably seal and still sound really good.. car in question... gotta love that matte black paint job....the birds sure do. woofer in question...I love this cone reminds me of the W7 cone......and lets face it its sexy as hell

I have a 15Q and i made a box for it. The box is 3.146 cubic feet. I have two 3" tube ports and i need to know how long they need to be to achieve a tuning of around 33-35 hz. Thank you in advance.

First i'm from over at ca.com and do amp repairs over there.Everyone over there is great and added to come over to fi and talk to scott about picking up 3 drop in recones for re's sx 15's.So my ques. is can i have 3 re sx 15's drop in recones for them and the price plus shipping.Really i just want them as close as everything from the org. as possible with 3 layer spider,dvc 2 ohms with the fi soft parts and tensel about the same.I have a btl 15 that i reconed and before i did the install i put it in the re sx and fit perfect.Please let me know,thanks.

Recently a memeber of ROE stated that someone (a dealer) was trying to sell him FI SSDs at an inflated price. When i saw this, it put a red flag up in my head. http://realmofexcursion.com/forum/showpost...amp;postcount=1 Its a place called "Pure Pressure Audio" in Gainsville Florida, I just did a quick google and it came up http://purepressureaudio.com/default.aspx "- Install by Step Harris of Pure Pressure Audio" was in his signature. So I'm assuming thats the guy who's trying to sell him the subs. And he said Step, so it seems to me someones trying to make a quick buck off FI

So I went through the elaboration of the two and am still confused. I will be running a DD Z1 on 2 - 12" BTL's...... I will be using them for daily street beating, and competing on the weekends. I will not be changing anything around (besides port frequency).... Options that I have chosen thus far: 3rd Magnet HiXmCoil So, do I want the cooling or P chamfer??? in advance

I'm torn between the 2 really great reviews currently for the SSD and the Q. Primarily, I want an SQ setup as I think it'll get plenty loud in my Suby wagon. Been running 750w bridged to my 2 Diamond Audio 12s sealed and while I would go with the copper coil config with the SSD, the price difference in going to the Q is really not that much. If 750w to the SSD would be pretty loud, I don't think I would upgrade my amp any time soon. But since the Q is touted so heavily, many are happy with their SSD with around 500w but 1000w seems ideal for it. Thanks!

How much do they weight, the weight for the 10" shipped from ups says the package is 32lbs, how much of that is the BL and how much is packaging? I am wondering because I planned on inverting my BL and I am hoping it wont be so heavy that it flips the box over. I am putting it in a 1.2 cuft box, I cant remember hox much it weights but it cant be more than 45 to 50 lbs. I plan on buying another BL, I am having a dual 10" box built for the 2 so I hope the combined weight of the 2 will not be too much for a 2 cuft MDF box to handle inverted.

Pwnt! , that is all.

Went to lunch today and when I got back to the office there are 2 big boxes on the doorstep. I didnt realise anything until I saw the USPS logo on the boxes and I know that is may package. As I carried it onto my desk I realised that the sub nearly fell off. After opening it I saw the packaging was terrible. I'm not sure whether it was originally packed that way or the someone else opened it to have a look as there were signs that the box was already opened. Well I am just grateful that the sub make it without any cosmetics defect though. Anyway thanks Scott for the subs and I cant wait to built a home for it. I'll post pics tommorow. This sub will go into a 3.5 cu. ft. a…

So i built a box and everything was lookign good. I ordered two 3" port tubes. I tried to put the box in my car without the face board on and it fit. However with the front board on it did not. I had to therefore inset the board changing the demensions of the box a bit. The box demensions are now 25.5 X 17 X 16.75. How long do my 3 inch port tubes need to be to achieve a tuning of 33hz. The woofer i have is the 15Q so displacement is .19 cubic feet. Thanks for the help.

There're Here. ssd12's

Sooo...Didn't realize that this is recommended as a minimum(not sure why its not included then) and I would have gladly paid the 10 bucks to add this.... But I didn't know.. Anyways, What do I have to worry about without this?
