General Fi

Well today we had a gathering amongst friends in Honolulu Hawaii with a Term lab to play around with.... Fi was killing the scene.... TL meter..... DB Drag setting... peak hold, sweeps and sine waves then music... We got to show off a 10" BL a 15" Q and an 18" BTL on a sundown 3000D.. I have to say Philips 10" BL is so damn impressive... some of the new guys that showed up were amazed at what that 10" BL could put out (numbers wise and sound wise)... Not many 10's on this island can boast a solid steady 142 on a TL with a single 10... The 15" Q first run was right up there with some of the other DD set-ups that were veterans.... He put up a 142 with a single 15 Q on an …

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

whats the difference between the fi btl and the fi bl ?

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.

ok well i accidentally sent scott an email about this, my bad, but ill post it on here for you all to read. can you recone a soundstream T4 15. its D2 coils right now, and i think they are 3 inch coils. one seems to be shorting out and smoking up the trunk. if so, how much for a kit shipped to me and how much to send to sub to you to do it? thanks.

Well, first post here. I'm a long time member of caraudio.com/forums, but browse here frequently. So basically, I just bought a BTL off ca.com and want to know if it'll still be able to use it. It has a snapped tinsel lead and some holes burnt in the spider (see pics below). I was wondering if you guys think i'll be able to just replace the tinsel leads and use it like it is. I asked quite a few people over at ca.com about it, and most seemed to think I would be able to get away with just doing that. Obviously, i don't know much about recones/repairing subs. I already regret buying it...I'm on a super tight college budget and when I saw the cheap price I couldn't he…

Ugh, where is Fi Mang? Ive been trying to get a recone since December and still have no real responses yet, how hard is it to send me a email with paypal info and a price ya know? did they take a month off or something I need a Recone For a Dual 2 / Fully Loaded / 15" BTL shipped to 03110 Ive sent off Emails to Scott@fi / Sales@fi and Nick@Fi and have gotten little progress, i just want it done and over with ya know? they dont even have a # u can call them at for fast service u gotta send a email and hope they check it in the next 6 weeks

I ordered two 12' Fi BL's a week ago and it said they were still processing it. They won't respond to my emails and they don't give a phone number to contact them with. This cost me a lot of money.. when can I expect to see a tracking order? Or a full refund if I don't get my subwoofers.

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...

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'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

The SP4 huh? No tech info on this sub yet. When did this come out? Care to share some facts?

this really should be a commercial or on the intro page to fi's site, only thing is it's ascendant woofers. oh and yes, I know the system isn't the loudest out there but the way the t-shirt happened to stay there is badass

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!

hi nick, my team here is eagerly waiting for the subs, pl inform where and how to contact you and transfer monies to book. manish.

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!

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 am going to build my box for the sub before it arrives but not complete it fully until I have made sure it fits etc. Now I need some help with the dimensions. I have this plan who someone sent to me and I am wondering if it should work pretty good. Base is 24depthx24heightx36width port is 5" wide and 27.25" long 22.5" height. Is this correct with 8cu ft box and 1.77 cu ft port? so 8cuft tuned to 32hz? any input? anything will be gladly appreciated.

i have one ssd 10 and i was wondering if a 2cubic foot box would be too big if the recommended size is 0.6-1.2 cubic feet

Last month I asked for advice on what subwoofers to get for my Yukon. FI suggested SSDs with copper coil. I was going to order these asap but my wife asked if i could wait till after Christmas. I was all butthurt for a day or two but I agreed. Yesterday morning I get out of bed and two huge boxes are sitting under the tree that we not there the night before. You guessed it the wife found a way to order them ( yes she even got the options right) with out me having a clue. The subs look great thanks FI. Lance Alexander
