General Fi

hey guys, im purchased a 18 inch fi btl n2...i need an amp thats stable at one ohm and is under $300..i was looking at some hifonics amps? are they any good? thanks, ben

i was just wondering if you can still get the older style btl's?

I have been looking around and I was curious to see some pictures inside the FI facility? Scott or Nick do you have any cool pics of the place? I think it would be cool to see it.

Now that we have established the new direction we are taking with the trying to re-iterate the importance of having manufacturing (instead of manu-packering) here in the states it reminded me of something I learned of in history class years ago. FDR was famous for his "Fireside Chat's" back in the days of nothing but a radio to talk to the people on a personal level...so this is what we are going to do. Join us in the chat Wednesday nights at 7pm Pacific time (10pm eastern). We'll be having random contests and give away things while we are live in the chat. If you have some technical questions we definitely don't mind helping you out. Scott and I will be on there and try …

SOOO just got N2 last night figured I would share pics with you guys and side by side shots of the n2 and gen 2 btl, lmk how you guys like the blacked out look on the N2 N2 left, gen 2 right Then heres my family portrait (minus my ole double stacked Q which is in my car) THANKS GOES OUT TO FI FOR AMAZING WOOFERS

Just noticed they are up, but why no 18?

Any update on the Blue Print Audio home theater line of subs?

Hi guys, I installed my 12" BTL N2 2 days ago. The box is ported to 32 Hz, 2.1 ft3. I run a Sundown saz 1500 at 1 ohm. Last night I took time to test this setup and I was surprised to hear a strange sound at the highest volume. I kept the exact same settings than with my previous setup (1 ssa xcon 15" on the same amp). On a certain note on a song from Mike Jones a weird sound is coming from the sub, and not in the port. On low bass notes there is no problem, but on a higher note the sub reacts badly : how can I describe it ? Like a sheet of paper moving ! It's scarry. I need to turn down the gain on the amplifier. I checked the inside of the box, nothing was loosed, …

Will a 12 bl sound good in a box 1.9 cuft tuned to bout 33 hz? Or should i get a q n put in a 2 cuft box sealed. Which louder? Im thinking of running 2 bls on a Aq2200.

I am gonna move back into the SPL ring again and I need to get some subs that don't weigh too much relatively speaking. How much do the N2 18's weigh?

I was wondering if someone can give me a qoute for Fi BL 12 shipped to Hawaii.(zip code is 96792) I want to order 1 next month

I just sent you an email,you can pm me here or by email,thanks.

I am currently in the process of building my dream system in my dream car (1970 olds). My experience with sound systems is limited to small amps and subs, never anything as big or expensive as I am attempting now. I am purchasing 2 12'' dual 1 ohm BTLs (as an spl driver) with all the trimmings and the option in the recommended enclosure shown in the cut sheets that are provided in the Tech forum. The amp I'm going to be using to power these beasts is a T40001bd. T40001bd - 4000 watt 1-channel amplifer 1500x1 @ 4 ohms, 3000x1 @ 2 ohms, 4000x1 @ 1 ohms. I just ordered a 270 amp alternator that does 120 amps (or 170) in idle from dc alternators (as recommended from someone…

was watching tv ton and seen this, just wondering if they were actually sponsored by FI? wife and husband team, she drives, he yells a lot and tells her where to drive lol

Any timeline on the N3's except the 2 weeks on the website ? I'm ready to buy a 12

I have a new 15in Q that will be going into roughly 3.5cu after port and displacement. Would it be ok to use one 6in round port with flared ends? Looking for 28-29hz tuning. I can do 43.75sq in with a 3.5 x 12.5 slot port but the box will be much more difficult to build. Which would sound better? This will be a console style box, sub forward and port will fire into the side wall.

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.

Dont know how many of you guys have seen this yet. But its the new demo/bassrace van I have been building with the help from Kicker, Kinetik, and of course Scott. Scottie J. will also be coming aboard from Powermaster. Ok enough talk on with the pics. This is what the van used to look like! Couple rolls of wire

i was just wondering if we could just pick up our subs, instead of shipping them?

I love the fi sub line up, the only thing i don't like is the outdated dust cap. Hate to say it but the domed dust caps just look ugly. The visible glue, the rough cone material combined with the dome cap make the sub unrepresentable. Do you guys ever think you would come out with dish style dust caps that cover the whole cone? maybe in the blueprint line up? I plan on purchasing a ssd15 in the near future and just hoping you'll offer dish caps, or mybe i'll just wait for the blueprint subs and check them out.

As stated in the other threads, I'll just condense it to this one. We have had an issue with one of our suppliers in either ordering or receiving the wrong size material for the 'side blocks' of the N2 motors. Long story short, we are having to machine down all of these surfaces, which simply takes 1-2 hours per speaker. We did not plan on this happening, but it happened and we have to deal with it. We'll be calling everybody as we have time and are able to and let everybody know the scenario in-between changing parts in the CNC's. We are trying to get them finish machined, in paint and assembled every day. We are hoping to have quite a few more going out by Thursday, Fri…

I just ordered 4 of the X series 10's to replace a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ 12v2's. I am curious what size vented enclosures have worked well with them. Thanks!

hello, i have a couple questions about my setup. first thing is i have a cd player, an alpine cda-105 its a 2v rca out. now my question is would the alpine power pack that give 4+ volts through the RCA make my sub louder or increase performance in any way?? also i would like to kno if i should upgrade my electrical and if so what would you guys recommend to bring all my products to there full potential.. hes my setup , nothing special cd player : alpine cda-105 speakers : alpine type S all around amp : Power acoustik 3000DB Sub : Fi audio BL 15 fully loaded in i believe 3.5 cub. with a 31hz tune roughly wire : all monster cable , 0g power/ground & RCA thats about…

So i have looked at the ported box design at the top of the page for an X 10". My question is how will this sub perform sealed in about .75ft^3? I know ill get more output out of the ported box and a little tighter bass from sealed. Is that 32hz tuning ideal for the X 10" I would assume since the fine folks at Fi posted that diagram and they know their speaker better than anyone. Once again im powering it off the back two channels of a JL J2 320.4 so around ~180 watts. Vehicle is a 1998 explorer so space isnt the issue at work here.

Have a friend looking for two 10" Xs, wanted to know if the old FI X subs are still available? I know they are online, just making sure before he orders them. Thanks!
