General Fi

Good evening all! What frequencies does the SSD12 with copper coils play the best? I have it in a 1.5^3 ft sealed box and I'm not sure what to set the subsonic filter and the low pass crossover at? I'm powering it with a soundstream rubicon 702 which also has another kind of feature, hawkins bass control. I think it's a combination subsonic filter with booster. Any advice would be great.

I havent really seen anyone hook 3 subs up to one amp, is this possible without causing big impedence problems. If it is, what would be a good amp to run 3 1ohm subs, or should i get the 2 ohm version?

So i recently bought a basic Q 12 and thouroughly enjoy it. i have a mono ma audio amp that runs at 800 rms. Question is ... would it be beneficial to upgrade the amp? could possibly get a deal on last years brutus 1206d or look for something different. dont think i could swing a sundown. what rms would you run a q 12 at?

so i posted this question in the other forum aswell didnt know witch to put this but i was anting help on these 2 fusion amps i have and was wondern if they are good enough to power 2 15" bls fully loaded here are the specs: Product Specifications 465 Watts RMS x 1 Channel @ 4 Ohms and 1% THD+N 750 Watts RMS x 1 Channel @ 2 Ohms and 1% THD+N 1150 Watts RMS x 1 Channel @ 1 Ohms and 1% THD+N Linked Power Ratings @14.4VDC 1000 Watts RMS x 1 Channel @ 4 Ohms and 1% THD+N 1800 Watts RMS x 1 Channel @ 2 Ohms and 1% THD+N Max Power Rating: 2000 Watts Max Current: 100A Full Rated Power Distortion (Max) 1kHz: 0.45% THD @ Rated Power 1kHz/100Hz: 0.3% Frequency Response Hz (-3dB): 1…

In a week or so i'm going to be ordering a 15" Q. What are some amps you're using for the Q. These are what i'm looking at, at the moment. Alpine PDX 1.1000 PHOENIX GOLD RSD1200.1 Hifonics Brutus BXi 1608D

right now, my set-up is what i got in my sig... i was thinking about getting another ssd. i was lookin for reasonable priced amps that could power two ssd 12"s. i was looking at the SPL DK-3400D and the SPL FX1-5500D. It says their THD at Rated RMS Power 0.50%... I read that good amps have <.1% THD... Is .4% difference that much? And I know that the rms wattage is a little different but these two amps are fairly close in price, why is that?

would a alpine m1000 be a good amp for a fi bl 12? i was going to get the SAZ-1000D but i can get the m1000 for cheaper. there both 1000 rms so i think it would be good

I know this has been gone over, but i was just wondering how a single 12" BTL ported at around 2.5 at 32hz...would stand up to two 12" RE se series sealed in 2.5...on an aq2200d. Could i expect any sound quality? any other things you need to know...just let me know. i also thought about inverting the BTL...any concerns or comments on that would also be helpful.

my buddy is goin with a 12inch fi ssd d1 fw coil, bp power, would it be worth upgrading to the 1608d or will the 1208d be jsut fine?

Just purchased my sp4 15 from Fi on November 15 and recieved it on December 7! They even slapped on a carbon fiber dustcap for free!! Terrific customer service, and I will be buying from them in the future! Keep up the great work guys!

This is my basic wiring diagram for my pair of D2 10" Q's. I have a dual chamber box w/t .60 cuft in each chamber. Since the terminals are on the left and right side of the subs and I have to connect the subs in both chambers (run wires thru commom middle wall and seal with silicone).............I was wondering is it OK to let the wires just hang free in the box or maybe secure them so they don't just flop around???? I noticed there are little tabs on the baskets, both on the top and bottom. Would it be alright to zip strip the +/- DVC connecting wire that will go over the top of the subs basket to that tab? Or should I just let it free hang?????? Just want to do it righ…

P Chamfer: no Cooling: yes 3rdMagnet:yes HiXmCoil: yes daily:yes Universal:No are those good options for daily driving but serious spl

Trying to get in contact with anyone at Fi is impossible, so maybe someone can help me out. Scott emailed me about 2 months ago saying that it was 75$ to re cone my SSD and add a few little upgrades. Now, can my SSD be re coned into a Fi Q? And how much would it be. I know the baskets are the same. When you send the sub back, do i have to pay for Shipping both ways? How does this whole thing work. I'm not going to pay for the re cone up front because what if they don't send my Sub back and i get screwed. Will they send me a bill in the mail of how much it cost for the re cone and for them to ship it back to me? Sorry for the questions, im Very new to this. Thanks Rulayd

I know you have old parts laying around from subs you have worked on in the past. Any chance you have any RE RE series voice coils laying around? Yes I realize they are cheap subs and probably not worth the recone. I think I bought them for 56 shipped each(4). But if I get bored one day it could be fun. Anyway, let me know. If not no big deal

hey um e-mails not working again or something.. im getting an avalanche motor and 15" basket wondering if a Q recone will fit in that motor. assuming its a yes, how much would a 15" q recone be, with 1 stiff, 1 soft spider, dual 2 ohm (just the soft parts)

Hey guys, I had sent an email awhile back concerning a recone kit for a 12" RE SX (D2) - I'd seen that you had been able to send kits out earlier, and was wondering if you can still do it (and if so, at what price?)... Preferably with that sexy new dustcap I saw while browsing the forum (the one that looks like the original SX cap, but with a Fi logo!). I live up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Thanks, Ryan

dont know what to call this one...synthetic hair trick vid? a lady at my work had a birthday the other day and had decorations hanging by her desk.....i was like happy bday and all but can i have that All i saw was a new video being made.......its pretty light so its pretty easy "trick" whatever kind of "trick" this is but since i was bored i figured id post it.

Does anyone out there have an idea as to when these drivers are going to be in production. I contacted Fi two months ago and they told me it was a month away and they would be at a new web site blueprintdrivers.com. It has been quite a long wait and I'm starting to think that I might just go a different route. One can only wait so long before you start to look else were. I hope someone can give me some hope to hold out just a little longer. Thanks

I should be getting my 12 inch BTL in about a 1 week and half. I'm going to be powering it with RF T2000BD. Just wondering if I could a real life demo before I set mine up.

since fi makes such wonderful and accurate woofers are you guys working on mids at all? i would surely purchase these without hesitation.

Does anyone have any idea when the SP4 12's will be released? im wanting to buy a pair. but there not up on the site yet. 2 SP4's with a DC 5k amp

Looking into getting 2 sp4 18s or 2 team 18s....whats the wait time if i ordered either one?

I was just wondering today if you guys were planning on expanding outside of the subwoofer market and venturing into component sets or midbass drivers anytime in the foreseeable future?

i was talking to scott a few weeks ago about my re-cone's and now im ready to get them and im not getting any e-mails or anything back.

Anyone going to a show or comp in northeastern ohio running Fi subs? I've only seen & heard 1 and considering the set-up it sounded ok (1 Fi 18", kid doesn't even know the model or the rms, bought it used with a big ass Boss amp hooked to it in a sealed box). After doing some poking around the net and alot of reading on here I want to hear some in better systems. So if someone's out my way and doesn't mind me having a listen drop me a line on here or e-mail me at [email protected]
