General Fi

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

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?

Hey there Scott or Nick. Today My 12" BTL that I purchased in late April started to smoke today. I have the subwoofer in a ported box around 3cuft to a Crunch GP3000D Pro. I was driving today and out of no where my subwoofer started to cut out and I thought that it was probably a wire coming loose or something so i just turned it down. Then I smell this awful burning smell and look back and the back seat of my car is being filled with a whitish smoke. I am assuming that somehow the voice coils burnt up. What would I need to do to have this fixed? A recone? And what does the FI warranty cover because I wasnt really pushing the subwoofer as hard as it could go. It was about…

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.

Q 12" next an Alpine Type-E 12" HA I'm 21, never done much wood/mdf work, and this is the first time I've ever attempted building an enclosure. Fortunately, it's going in that narrow little trunk hole in the rear of my 4th gen Camaro, so the shape of the enclosure is pretty simple. (Also, only pic of my girlfriend who was there helping the whole 3 days for this project. If you can't tell, I'm a terrible person.) ↓ All done with a jigsaw. The planning/drawing out and cutting of the pieces took the best part of two days. Liquid nails and countersunk screws Flaring the pvc on a bowl in some boil…

I am ordering 4 BTL N218's and was wondering what amp or amp's I should use with these speakers.

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??

thanks scott. i just got the shirt and it looks good. thanks for the sticker as well.

http://www.myspace.com/ficaraudio Slowly working on it...more pics and such will get added as i get time and what not. so yeah, instead of "Does Fi have a website?" its now..."zOMG does Fi have a myspace?!?!" Let's see how many people are proud of what they run...add us and post pics!! :fing34:

this goes straight out to you guys at Fi - nick, scott, whomever. so what's in the works for 2010? i know you have your secrets and stuff but please do shed some light

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 purchased a new pair of 10" RE MT recones and the surround is about a full inch from the surround landing on my 12 spoke baskets. I've only seen RE MT subs built with 12 spokes so my question is are the recones faulty or are there different size 12 spoke baskets? Mine are just black 10" 12 spokes with the correct size spider landing (8.25 I believe) I e-mailed about this on wednesday and haven't received any response. Just want to know if i need new baskets or if i need to return the recones.

I am currently beginning an installation for my 2002 Ranger super cab. I will be running two BTL 12's in this install. I would like some opinions on this setup. Some people may think im crazy for putting this into a small space. But I live by the rule get loud or go home. Let me know what you all think about how this will turn out and how hard it will be hitting.

is 1100 watts at 2 ohms too much for a 12in d1 ssd? with bp power.

I talked to you about a month ago about my tinsel leads being snapped in half on my 12" ssd and you asked for pictures, and then for me to send it in along with all my contact info and what coil i want in it. I sent it off on 5/29 and the tracking info said it got to you at 6/3 and mike signed for it. I sent you a reply email asking if you wanted the tracking # before hand, and didn't get a email back. I'm just hoping to hear some sort of update on this. Thanks

hi today i was playing deep bass for like 20 minutes and after i gave the sub a break i touched the fi cap and it was pretty warm is this ok?? if i had played it for a lil longer would the sub had blown up???or do i have to break in my sub???im running a rockford fosgate p8002 amp and its sopuse to put out like 950 rms only. I tought a fi could take more than that if i got all the options thanks.

Hello. I have 1 15" Fi BTL for now and I was looking at getting another in the future. I found a pretty good deal on an Ma audio HK4000D. My electrical will have the Big 3 done and I have 1 Kinetic 1400 battery but also soon to be at least one more. Would this amp be worth the money to push 2 15" Btl's daily (Rap) to their full potential or is it overrated?

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…

I blew my Fusion Powerplant 15" and now have a box and amp just sitting in my garage i want a new sub i can re-cone so which FI sub do i need, i have this amp: http://www.fusioncaraudio.com/north-and-south-america/car-audio-1/amplifiers-7/ppam300010-50-product.aspx 1300W at 2 ohm and 1500W at 1 ohm so which one does everyone recommend Thanks Patrick

I am looking for some votes to try and win this contest so I can get a few bigger amps for my BTL's. Please vote for me Justin Wilson #38 at http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/promotions/2010_WhatsYourVolume2.asp#vote Thanks for your time, Justin Wilson

hey everyone i'm looking to make an upgrade. i currently have 3 12's a crunch gp3000d pro amp which is suppose to be underrated at 3kw rms at 1ohm. i also have 0 gauge wiring a 300 amp alt fatmat throughout the entire vehicles i think two layers in some place but atleast one layer throughout the entire vehicle. i have an optima red top under the hood and a kinetic hc1800 in the back for the subs. i have a 1997 ford explorer sport (2 door) and i am interested in either 2 fi btl's 15's or 1 fi btl 18 n2 model i have enough space to run the 2 15's or the single 18 with no problem now my question is which would give more output. i love lows so im looking to have the box tune…

I ordered a sp4 15 on sept. 12th, order number #176 just wondering how long it usually takes to ship? Thanks

I saw a picture of an N3 motor but I can't figure out how much of the motor is actually neo. So there are three lobes tot he motor and then there are a few blocks of material per lobe. The top plate, then two thin pieces side by side, then one big piece, and then the bottom plate. Is the neo just the thin pieces that have two side by side per lobe or is the block underneath that which is much bigger made of neo also? How does this compare to other neo woofers out there like the DC or the DD 95z or 99z?

Just curious why I am being jump all over for the situation. No where did I talk down about FI. I did make a neg comment about the forum after I was attacked, for which I will apologize for. SSaudio and denim, I am sorry for saying that I would not tell others about the forum. Also thank you two for putting the time, effort ,and money into this forum that you do and have for years. Again sorry. I have no idea where godsmack got that I was e thug but whatever. I guess some people forget I am a customer. and was asking Scott a question, but got some helpfull replys and some slandering me. Scott please get ahold of me

Ne one know the release date on the btl n3's?
