Trying to buy some recones but, it keeps redirecting me to a blank page. Anybody else have this problem ? Hit "checkout " key and takes me here ...

so heres the deal, i have a 15" powered woofer in my apt hooked up to my pioneer ELITE 7.1 receiver, here are some of the specs, powered by a built in (Bob Carver) 500 rms sunfire amp Specifications ( Brand) Acoustic Research (model) ARS500 Driver Complement High power handling 15" Woofer (110oz magnet) Frequency Response 18Hz-120Hz±2.5dB Crossover Frequency 50Hz(24dB/Oct.)~120Hz(36dB/Oct.)

So back on 12/7 i received my two 12" Qs and one of them was damaged from UPS! Called up Fi and Scott answered the phone. He told me to just set the damaged sub outside for next day pick up and he would start making a new one. All I have to say is wow, because Fi has already shipped the new sub to me and its only been two days. Thanks Fi your customer service ROCKS!!

hi ! i would like to know wich FI sub would match the better with my amp to get the most out of it... ? I would like to go with 1 12", the enclosure size will fit on my back seat, that's why... so my amplifier is a kenwood KAC-9105D rated at 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (900 watts x 1 at 2 ohms) and 1ohm stable, the output regulated at 900 watts... and the last sub i got is a fck'n kenwood excellon who is the top of the line of kenwood and in 1 month i cooked the coils... : ( the sub was a 12" 600 watts rms and 2000 watts peak and is a dual 4 ohms. I am on my way to make a new setup : i would use a deep cycle battery and plugged the amp only on it and the amp to the subwo…

Ive heard how dominant the fi subwoofers are so i was curious do they plan on making any type of door speakers/tweeters and other sound equipment or are they just going to offer subwoofers

Just wondering if production has begun on the BL's with 4" voice coils? Ordered my 12" on black Friday so I've very excited about its arrival. Haven't seen anyone posts, pics or info about them on the forums so I'm thinking no one has them yet. I know priority was for the N2's because of the extra machining, it would be great to get an update. Thanks, Jupiter

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that a package soon would be there. Everyone was nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Subwoofers danced in their heads. To awake in the morning to a box sealed with tape, and inside a woofer that really sounds great. Merry Christmas to everyone at Fi

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 would like to give a public Thank you to Scott and the staff at FI Car Audio. Once again they deliver excellent customer service. By this i mean, Scott taking time out of his schedule and calling his customers to give them a notice about their woofers! Thanks again FI. Keep up the great work, and continue making the best Woofers Money can buy! Austin Hart

I spoke with a delivery driver with UPS today. He told me that internet sales have increased by one billion dollars in the last couple weeks. He also told me that due to the increase of shipments from online purchases to expect shipping delays. In some neighborhoods you may see drivers delivering packages on golf carts. Everyone buying their christmas gifts early offline has increased shipments being handled substantially. Now you may get your items on time with no delay, but to expect them anyway because most shipments will be late due to the increase of volume in shipments. Now it will take even longer to get my fantastic Fi subwoofers I cant wait for them to get here…

Can someone tell me what flatwind coil, BP power and QTS Thanks in advance! Hope to be buying a 12" soon

anybody got any download links for different continuous frequency bass tones for competition use maybe 35-40hz

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.

I am about to order a recone for one of my 2005' XXXs and had a few questions about the recone itself. I know you have reconed alot of these woofers over the years and was wondering if you change the recone composition at all(besides your cone) when compared to the stock XXX composition? Will the woofer still have it's 1500-1600rms capability? Will the recommended enclosure change at all? I was able to effectively salvage the original XXX full face dust cap. Can it be re-used with your recone? In addition to the woofer I am about to recone, I received another misaligned 2005' XXX motor in the purchase. Do you have the ability to re-align the motor and would you be willing…

i have 18 cu to work with after displacements, and im wondering if that is enough air space for 4 bl 18s or do i need to step down do the bl 15s?

ok i ordered two 12" black "Fi"day x series woofers. should i put them in a ported or sealed box? i can locate the recommended volume. if ported would be better what should i tune the box to. also what should i set my crossover frequency at. i will not use bass boost at all in fact my bass on my headunit will be -2 and 0 on my amp. depending on what i tune my box to i will set my subsonic filter 2hz less than that. i just want the most output possible from the woofers without risking damaging them

Ok can someone please explain in detail what the differences are between a 15" woofer and a 12" woofer in playing ability, frequency, and tuning

I was leaning towards getting the Sundown Audio 1200 for when I purchase two Fi Audio SSD12 subs. But came across the Audioque AQ1200D. Is the Audioque AQ1200D a suitable amp to run for the SSD12 subs? AQ1200D: 510X1 @ 4 ohm, 870X1 @ 2 ohm, 1200X1 @1 ohm SAX 1200D: RMS power, 1 ohm mono 1200W x 1CH RMS power, 2 ohm mono 720W x 1CH RMS power, 4 ohm mono 360W x 1CH

Added free cooling on lines that have it (N2, BL, Q) For today and tomorrow only. Saves $30... Thanks, Scott

I had time to get things rolling, so the old style Xs are back up in D4 coil and 10" and 12" sizes. 10" D4 $65 ea 12" D4 $75 ea Starting with a cast aluminum basket for a rigid foundation, it uses a double stack motor with a 2” copper voice coil wound on a black anodized aluminum former. A poly cotton spider and curvilinear cone with multilayered foam surround keep things controlled under the toughest of conditions. Far from entry level, the Old School X Series provides deep, detailed, and powerful bass from both sealed and ported enclosures. 250W RMS and 16mm Xmax. Great subs in smaller systems or monsters in multiples for cheap Discounts of $5 per sub on orders of 2-…

ok , i have 2 15'' fi btl's and i want to do a 4th order .... i cant remember where i read that btl's are not made or not good for 4th order designs .... its this true?? can somebody explain...

Hope everybody has a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be spending time with the family...so we will not have an official fireside chat tonight. Stop in next week!

so i have decided to go with fi subs and audique amps for my next setup. it will be going in a 99 grand prix gtp. budget is 1500 for the bass setup. it will be playing mostly hard rock and metal, with a little rap on the side. goals for this system are mostly output, i obviously don't want it to sound like complete crap, but the main goal is output. also this is my daily driver, no comps for me. so after a little background info on what i'm looking for, back to the root question... which setup would have more output? option 1: 4 fi ssd 12's running on an audioque 3500 option 2: 2 fi btl 12's running on 2 audioque 2200 plan was to go ported to 33 hz on either option. opt…

Just got a question, trying to find a suitable enclosure that would fit in the trunk of my charger and would be good for 2 SSD12 subs. Would this one work?? http://www.zenclosures.com/Dodge_Charger_Subwoofer_Box_p/chargerrecessface.htm Mounting depth - 9.00" Mounting hole - 9 1/8" for 10" subs & 11 1/8" for 12" subs (Adjustable by request) Total volume of airspace - 2.46ft^3 Adjustable by request (we can only reduce the airspace) Airspace per chamber - 1.23ft^3 -Spencer
