General Fi

Right now I am planning on running 3 10" BL or Q's in a ported enclosure at about 3.2cuft or so after displacement and such, ran off a Sundown 3000. I am not entirely sure which to use, BL's or Q's and would like to know the major differences between the two in order to help my decision. Thanks

Steel is in hand..we will be working through the weekend coating parts and rolling along. Subs should start shipping on Tuesday in the order that they were received. Thanks!

lookin for some pics of a 12" bl side, top, and bottom and a review if anyone has one on the 12 thanks

From today (10/18) through the end of the month (10/31 for those that cant remember ) if you buy a BL with the flatwind option you will receive the full cooling ($40) for free. All orders will be automatically upgraded. Just a little thanks to the forum and customers that have helped Fi make it through its first year. Thanks, Scott

How much do they weight, the weight for the 10" shipped from ups says the package is 32lbs, how much of that is the BL and how much is packaging? I am wondering because I planned on inverting my BL and I am hoping it wont be so heavy that it flips the box over. I am putting it in a 1.2 cuft box, I cant remember hox much it weights but it cant be more than 45 to 50 lbs. I plan on buying another BL, I am having a dual 10" box built for the 2 so I hope the combined weight of the 2 will not be too much for a 2 cuft MDF box to handle inverted.

Alright, So I Have a couple of questions. Currently I am running 1/0 to a saz-1500d and a 15" Fi BL with p chamfer. My question is i'm considering buying my friends 15" BL so I can run them both, his sub does not have a p chamfer, Is that going to be a huge difference in power or sound? My friend sugested that with the right electrical set up I could possible run my 1500d at .5 ohm. I'm not sure about that. Any suggestions and Info would be appreciated. Thanks

Today as i was listening to my music, my bass shut off. i turned off all power and parked my car at the house. I came out about half an hour later to find my car filling up with smoke and when i opened my trunk i found my port spewing smoke. After i was finally able to get the box out of the trunk, i examined the damage. The voice coil is pretty messed up along with the spider. I was curious if anyone had any clue what would cause that damage? today was an extremely hot day but i wouldn't think that would be enough to push my sub over the edge.. I've also been listening at that volume since i got the sub in september of last year. Also, will the BL recone kit on you…

Since this is where I usually get replied to(I've only ever gotten one reply to an email) I figured I'd put this here. I know you guys are busy putting out the new BTL line, so I'm not faulting you here I just want to know: What is the status of my recone? It's been a month and I havn't gotten any word. And as far as I can tell your normal turn around is 2 weeks on recones. I packaged my motor well and included what I wanted done printed on a slip of paper, and even emailed you the same info. Name on the package/paper is Richard McCraw and it was from Pittsboro NC. Any info would be helpful, thanks guys.

Well it's time for a recone, beat the hell outta of my 15 d2 BL. Tensil leads snapped and burned up, oh well time to fix it lesson learned... I need some info on everything I need to order from Fi to get this done.. Like I said its a dual 2 ohm fully loaded..... I got mine back in February is mine a 2009 series? Can I recone it to a dual 1. Been Running a crenshendo 2250 @ 1 ohm...would I be better off going .5 if I can recone to dual 1?.. Thanks for all in put... Fi I must say you make a badass product yeah I clipped the living hell of this sub many many times , guess you can say I bottomed it out not 100 % sure but sounded like the dust cover smacking the vc 100's…

do i need to send the driver back to vegas or can i order recones and do it myself?

Title is self explanatory. What is the star (*) for on the RMS wattage on the BL series?

ok im fixing to order in a few days so i was going to get some opinions on what i have come up with what im looking at... i have been kind of stuck between the btl and bl....but i've finally decided on the bl i will be going with two 12"" on the options im going with dual 1, cooling,flatwind,daily, as far as the universal i dont plan on needing to change the impedence..... going to giving them around 2500rms in a 6 cu ft enclosure before sub and port displacement @35hz how does this sound....

Hey guys, I am looking at getting 4x 10" woofers (hopefully from Fi) and it looks like I am stuck between the BL and the SSDs. I like the SSDs because they can be put in a smaller box, but I like the BLs beucase they have better performance than the SSDs. My question is how much better? I dont think currently I will be able to toss 8k watts at all four 10s like the BLs require, but I will be able to eventually. I have the electrical to back it up as well. I am trying to switch from a single 15 to 4 10s and have the ability to probably almost double my power eventually. I am pushing a single 3500D with a 350 amp alty and three huge bats.

How they compare head to head?

Whats the difference? Also for a mono block amp i should buy a dual 2 ohm fi?

Im hookinh up my BL that I got back in 2008, what Sundown amp do you guy recommend? SAZ-1000d SAZ-1200d SAZ-1500d or SAZ-2000d? thanks

i was wondering if a BL with pchamber (sp?) and SPL package will do nice daily (not daily 2k beating 4 hrs a day) maybe....20 mins of play time a day? this has probably been covered also but how much port area would you recomend im going to be going about 6.5-7 cubes tuned to?

Hey do you guys know when they are going to get the BLs back up and ready to order?

Is it a typo that the BL only pushes 1000 watts or what. Thanks

Whats good guys just found this board and decided to join. At any rate, been thinking of upgrading subs to FI but not sure which ones. I currently have 2 RF p2's powered by a RF P500.2 with a cap and am pretty happy with it but i want more. I found FI and have heard nothing but good things. Keep in mind i have a Chevy SIlverado with a sealed box under my rear seats. What FI subs could i use with this box or would u guys recomend another box? Really looking into the BL's but not sure what will fit and such. Any help will be appreciated

ok here's what i got...99 mustang rear seat delete wanna do a 15 bl d1 sub up port back in a 4.36cf box@33hz(that's internal)...i was told on here that fi's specs for cf are after speaker displacement...internal dimesions for box are 15x15x33.5...as for the port i got 4x15x25.66....does this sound cool...btw that 4.36cf is before port/bracing deplacement..as i stated earlier i was told that the fi specs for speaker displacement are already included....if someone can confirm that this is all good i would greatly appreciate it

Will there be a black fiday sale this year?

well i made it to my first show may 16 . < tnespl , rockyhill ct. > i came setup to play music, but ended up in woofer cooker class. so i did what i could with what i had setup. i had 1x btl 15 2x saz1500d ford explorer I got a 147.9 <still had some left> i am verrrrrrrry happy for my first try. now knowing what class i'm in i will build a fart box and do better. most important to me is that my kids wanted to compete and thats why i put this together. they had a great time, and want to do it again. thanks for the great deal on the recones. i was the only one with FI subs at this show, sparked a little interest after i ran.

Hey guys we will have the new X series up for Black Friday, as well as some other things! So keep a lookout! -Shawn

Yeah, this is last November's Black Fi-Day X 10" they had a sale on.. finally got around to putting some power to it as well as building my first box. In the video, I didn't want to push the sub to the limit to avoid blowing it, it seemed like it could take another click on the HU though. Obviously a video is what it is, but let me tell you that this sub sounded so good and flat, it was incredible.
