ok guys i need to get this reconed to a 12" please pm me info and pricing if you can. i can ship it out either thursday or friday. i also have the owners manual in pdf if that will help. thanks!!

how long does it take for the btl to break in? ive heard the subwoofer break in is a myth

The customer service is horrible first off they dont have a working phone number 2nd they dont reply to any emails that you send im thinking about canceling my order getting my money back and orderin dc subs

I need to get more footage and create another video.. I was in a rush this time and everything that i filmed didn't come out very good but this reaction is pretty funny. Fi fans will enjoy!

Hey all, I had to make a new username I guess because of the crash..anyways The dustcap on my Q is getting very warm. I am using my BXi-1500d, which probably does an actual 1000w @ 1ohm. I have the Dual 2 coils. The gain is set 1/2 way on the amp, the sub pre-out is @ +6, which basically uses the full voltage (2.2v). I don't think I can be overpowering the Q. And there is a funny smell, not sure if it's the VC glue or the VC melting itself. What should I do, because I don't think I am overpowering the Q with this amp. Here is a video BTW:

So I was on my way to work this morning and saw a dude in a lancer with some fi stickers and a sundown sticker. Might you be on SSA?! Otherwise I live in Keller Tx, home of everyone with an alpine type r, or wants an alpine type r. lol... Speaking of... Just recently had a owner of two 12" type r's ride in my mazda 6 (3.5 cubed box @ 33hz 15" fi ssd running 1k rms). He pretty much was "not impressed" bahahhaa. He said mine was crystal clear, but not very loud. The only thing I have going against me is my sub is pointing straight up at a panel, until I can get a box that fits. I did not plan my build properly at the time B-). Anywho, random post, but was just curious!

This may have been posted but I was wondering it was pronounced Fi (fee) or like (Hi-Fi) or just the individual F I... also any significance behind the name? Thanks, Matt

I currently have 1 08 ZX750.1 kicker mono amp(2ohm stable) and 1 12"L7 kicker DVC 4ohm. I was looking into getting somthing better than the L7 that i have.i want to upgrade my SQ and SPL. I want a LOUD sub!!! What do you guys recommend along with the enclosure specs

I got in touch with you guys about a Recone for my 15" Fully loaded BTL, I talked to scott and was told the price, i then proceeded to Paypal scott teh monies and that went through on January 11'th. On January 14'th I received a UPS Notification from FI saying that my orders Billing Information has been Received, and from the 14'th until today the 21'st it still only says that my orders Billing Information has been Received, it has not said any other tracking number details or that they have even received a package from FI in the first place so far. Just looking to get info on when my order is shipping out / when will it be here, paid on Jan 11'th and it was just a recon…

Hey guys. I found a BL 15 for $230 and couldnt pass it up. Anyway I have a BL 15 with the cooling and daily option. The new one has the flatwind and SPL option. Would putting both of these in the same box cause problems? Would playing music through the SPL option sub be an issue?

Hey everyone! New to the forum but not so new to car audio. I thought I knew a good bit before about audio but after browsing this site for a few weeks, I have learned a lot and am continuing to learn more. I've been looking to upgrade my sub for a while now and after checking out some different brands I keep coming back to Fi. Here's what my setup consists of right now in my 04' Civic Ex Coupe: Kenwood KDC-X792 h/u (looking to upgrade too) Kicker 1/0 power cable to the trunk big 3 upgrade Kicker KI45 4 channel rca cable Kicker KI25 2 channel rca cable Kicker 08ZX650.4 2 sets Kicker 05RS65.2 components Kicker 08VS10L72 10" L7 AQ1200D Duralast Gold under the hood and a D…

Hi, im about to order a fi btl in the next few weeks. Im deciding between a btl 15 and a btl 18. I have a hyundai elantra with a 220 amp alternator, 2 batteries and a soundstream rubicon 2500d. I listen to almost all rap and im looking for the loudest system i can build for the lows. I can only fit a 6.7 cube internal volume ported box which is 5 cubes net. I dont know which sub would be louder in this size box. But i really want the 18.

I have a saz3500 and i was wondering will that be enough to power to get these bad boys moving?

ok, i have two q 15's w/ bp power and I was just wandering what the actual power handling of these is with the bp power? I want to power these with an IA 40.1 if not too much and my box is 8.18 cuft. tuned to 27hz. I also have two optima 34/78 yellowtops in the rear and a red top in the front with dual runs of 1/0 to the rear and dual 1/0 will be going into the amp also. thanks

Posting for a friend..he's had his BTL for week....and we are both kinda curious how this happens and if there is any type of warrenty, figuring the VC is still 100% fine, the sub still plays and all. P.S. I can't seem to get a response from Scott....I still need a shim to align the gap and one screw to mount the basket to the motor (had to use an easy out on one of them).

How long does warranty work take ? Not sure what happened but my sub looks to be screwed right from FI. Not sure what happened here. I tried to call but mailbox is full and Email hasent been responded to yet. No Apperant damage durring shipping, Box is in perfect shape

I'd like to get two fi bl 15s. But I don't know what options to get on them. Also have no idea on what amp to choose either. Going in a 2003 chevy trailblazer ls

Been a member since I ordered my 2 stock spec SSD 12's a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed most people tend to go for BL's and BTL's. So all you fellow SSD owners let's see what you got and how you like them. Pics and videos would be nice too! Info on spl numbers, what kinda box you're running, auto make and model, etc.... Anything you wanna share. Mine come tomorrow so I won't have them in the car for a couple of weeks while I run new power wire and build the box. Def taking some pics though. So show some Fi SSD love people! Let's put all these BL and BTL threads to shame!

It's been over a month now.. I haven been waiting for my fi bl 15 I can't wait no more fi let me know what's going on

any fi subs....any amps....i just want to know how hard fi owners are hitting... list subs amps and db.....box if you feel the need....

ok so the amp set up i have is a soundstream rubicon 2500 running to 1 fi q 15 1500 rms sub. i have the sub wired this way from amp.. negative to negative positive to positive. and then on the other side i have positive to negative.. is that a 4 ohm wiring?? my amp is only 1 and 2 ohm stable.. is it ok for my subwoofer to be wired that way?? my imput level is up to about 80% and my bass knob i dont go pass half the volume. the only reason why my imput level is up that high was becuase when tunning it it was at the only level that it picked up good bass.. will this kill my sub??? the FI Q has all the bells and whistles.. its fully upgraded.. Class D Rubicon Mono Channel …

I fried the coils on my Crossfire BMF XT15 and cant seem to find a place to get a crossfire re-cone.... I was wondering if Fi could/would recone it. Please let me know if someone can help. Thanks, Cody

So i ordered a sub for a buddy of mine for his birthday. Literally 24 hours later he impulse bought a sub himself from a friend of his. In short, I ordered a sub 24 hours ago, payment processed, order just got switched to awaiting fulfillment...so I know there are another 10-15 business days before the sub is built. I needed to cancel and refund this order ASAP so I dont end up with a sub for nobody. I have sent sales an email, but I have seen issues about response time. Has anyone had experience with refund/returns/cancellations? If so, how did you go about it?

I have a Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000-1bd amplifier and I am looking for a good quality subwoofer. What would be the best 12" subwoofer for me to get for around 1000 watts rms if I am looking for sound quality with decent spl? I have a bassworx 12" ported subwoofer enclosure that is tuned at 42hz and is about 1.65 cu ft. I want to get an Fi Q 12" subwoofer but the recommended tuned frequency on it is between 28 and 33hz with a recommended minimum volume of 1.75 cu ft. I was wondering how much this would affect my subwoofers performance and its quality?

Does anyone know when the new 2010 Q's will be available on Fi's website. It says March 1st, and nothing. I'm getting antsy...
