im curious on how long does it takes to recieve a recone kit? its been 3-4 weeks already and i still have no recieved my recone. They sent me the Recone glue, and Decals i ordered, but how much longer for the recone? im Travis Jones, maybe someone can chime in and let me know whats taking long? Thanks Guys!

first off i love to bump. but i also love the truck i got right now. i wanna keep the rear bench seat also. so my plan is to do a build that will be loud but also compact. now i measured it out and ive got around 1.2 cubic feet under the bench seat to work with i would like to do 2 10s. i dont plan on burping at all. now i planned on goin with making sealed enclosures for them but would i be better off with a ported. if i have to im sure i could maybe get 1.5 cube out of it if i really make the box fit perfectly. also would i maybe be better off with going with a different series. i would still be stuck with only 10s tho cause thats all the bigger the gap is gonna allow.…

I'm trying to figure which I would be better off doing a 15" N2 in 5 cuft box after port displacement or a 18" N2 in the same size box and same power tuned to 32 hz. What are some of the opinions of what I would lose/gain over going with the 18 as opposed to the 15 other than more cone area? I was thinking I might lose a little low end and get higher box rise on the 18" but then again I'm not 100% sure. I'm doing a build on my friends car while he's away. the car is a 04 sebring convertible. As far as power goes it'll be 1.5-2.5k. Not sure what I want to go with yet as he is not a very responsible listener and I'm probably going to have to glue the gain down to keep hi…

I would like to purchase a Q series 18, however, due to some issues with unauthorized use of my paypal account, paypal has locked my account and blocked my card number from being used. Are there any other ways that I can order with this card?

I ordered a Q 15" but got a 12" same options and dustcap color but in a 12". Is there a phone number i can call? How long untill i get my 15" once i return the 12" ? Thanks

I recently clamped my amp for my two BTL N2s, impedance started at .7 (no box rise ftw) and ended up at 4.5 ohms!! That's a huge jump. Dr. Boom also has bad impedance rise, he's only getting 5k out of his 6 SAZ-3500s. Maybe it's just coincidence but I was comparing the BTLs specs to other subwoofers specs and BTLs have a much lower Qes that any other I seen. They still get extremely loud on low power so maybe they are very efficient due to low Qes. Can anyone chime in? Oh, box for mine is 4.2 cubes, 33hz, single 6" aero. Dr Booms, dont know volume, but tuned to 33hz also.

which one would hit more

i made a post 10 days ago about my sub not being sent out yet. i was told to wait 1 or 2 more days.. its not been 10 and its still not sent out. Is there any unknown delays i dont know about?

i ordered a recone but there is no n2 recone but there is a new single magnet recone so are the soft parts on the btl saucer the same as the new btl n2?

3 15 bl fully loaded on 4k fosgate watts would this do a hair trick in a nice box

hey whats up fellow bassheads, i had bought my had a 12" re seX for christmas and he has loved it in a sealed box. Ok so he needed to use my car the other day for a trip so he let me use his truck for work. So i was checking out his settings on his amp to see if they are where they should be and the bass boost was on a little bit so i turned it off. ok so i went back to check out how the sub was doing and i gently pushed down on the cone to see how stiff it still was. when i pushed down easily i felt like a scrubbing or kind of a gringing against something?? I have no idea what this could be or could it be blown? i thought it was not normal but then again it doesnt sound …

Ive spent a lot of time looking for an amp for the FI BL 15 that's on its way to my house. I don't want to spend much over $300 for an amp so do you guys know any good amps for about $300 or less? I was kinda looking at the Power Acoustik BAMF5500/1D but i really dont know how good of an amp it is.

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 ordered my BTL 15 thursday the 19th. It is now the 31st. i got the email from UPS about them having my shipping label but its still not sent out. I know im kinda jumping the gun but im anxious and just wondering if there is any delays on these woofers as of now or when i can be expecting it to be sent out. Thanks a lot.

Hey guys. I sent in 2 12" Qs (older double stack mags) and that was a few weeks ago to get recones to D1s... I got an email from UPS saying they would be here last wednesday. Just wondering if I could get an update? My name is Jonathan Bowers. I asked for the black Fi dustcaps. I have sent you guys a coupl emails. But no response. I know you guys are busy, so I figured I post here. Thanks Nick and everyone else at Fi. Jonathan

Compare the BL 10 to the SSD 10 and the ssd has the same xmax so wouldn't it move the same air therefore being the same. and on the website it say the bl has 18 mm xmax and the ssd has 21mm so wouldnt the ssd be louder then?

Hi guys, Im looking into adding a sub to my 2008 altima (with Bose) Im not looking for anything extreme in RMS liike when I had my RE HC a few years back in my older car. The sub I am looking at is either a 10 or 12' X. I have to admit im confused with the BP option. How much RMS does this add to the sub? The amp I was considering was a Diamond 300.2 that I can get at a very good price. Can someone also recommend a box for this sub? Preferably ported and if someone can let me know how this sub compares to something like a Diamond D3. I know its a lot of questions, but I do appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

I'm probably going to get a Bl 15 soon so i was reading the "tech" section on the fi website about the BL's. One thing i didn't understand is why they said that they recommend getting the P-chamfer option when they don't even offer it for the sub as far as i know. If you look at the bl's that option does not show up.

I ordered the glue from Fi with my recone kits and it arrived with some sort of activator. Any ideas on how to use this in the recone method? Thanks

ladies/gents if you've emailed us in the past 5 days or so i've been unable to reply in a timely manner due to praying to the porcelain gods via a flu virus...trying to play catchup right now thanks for your patience.

I want to push 8-10kw to 4 (four) 1-ohm DVC 15" Fi BTLs. (I'm too scared to go much above RMS, you freaks.) What are my options? The subs can be wired to 2ohms. I was originally planning to go with two strapped Sundown SAZ-4500ds but they are now discontinued and unavailable. I then almost ordered a Warhorse but at the last moment read the manual and it's got some fucked-up wiring scheme that means you can't hook up 4 1-ohm DVC subs. After that my options seems few and far between for this much power. Please suggest some amps that actually look like they might be in stock somewhere...

so i have 2 18" fully loaded BTLs waiting to be put in with 2 2400 watt rms hifonics amps....1 amp for each sub... but i need to know how many batteries do i need ?? also what brand / model ?? also how many amps does the alternator need to be ... i know i need to upgrade the alternator.... what brand ?? where can i get the alternator ?? im not a beginner to car audio so i know a little about what im talking about this system is going in a 91 honda civic hatch btw

I just ordered a BL 12 ohm duel 1. I am not very savvy at all with any of this stuff but know i want good stuff and it to sound good. One of my friends is selling a class D amp rated at 5000watts, I do not know the name of the amp right now, but hes selling it for 150$ because he needs money right now. Of course I dont want to push out 5000watts on my sub lol but I could get a capacitor for it and bring it down to what I want it to be at? I dont really know what im talking about so some help would be much appreciated! And yes, I am having a professional install the sub for me when I get the sub.
