General Fi

This will be the longest 7 days of my life. Thank you ahead of time! I wasn't the first in line so I know a few more of you guys got a UPS email today!

i have just bought two 15 fi bl's daul 2 used on cl. i knew one was going to need a recone so am planning on doing both. I'm running a mtx 81000d to one in a ported box i threw together just to see what each one sounded like box is little over 3 1/2 cubes, an tuned at 32. i get a clipping/slapping sound from the speaker when i turn my gain up past 1/2 way with the vol turned up on the head unit. an (h.u. settings are flat). question: could i just be clipping it? does anyone else get a leed noise? how can i tell what year it is for recone purpose? Thank you for your help any thing i may have left just ask doogie

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.

Edit: The option is up on the site. It is an extra $50 to go to the 4" coil. Brings RMS power handling up to 1500W per sub. We were sitting on this one until after the new year, but have decided to release it now given the amount of inquiries we have had regarding 4" coiled subs. We will be adding a 4" coil option to the BL Series by the end of the week. This allows for more thermal capacity over the standard 3" coil. Spec wise it does change things some, but enclosure recommendations will remain the same. In testing (about 9 months back and again last week) we saw some solid gains in the mid band with similar output near tuning to the 3" coiled version. The midban…

Post links to your Youtube videos in this thread..if you've got hair tricks..bottle tricks..cup tricks, whatever you've got post it up! I want to get these up on our Facebook page as well!! Thanks!

Ladies/Gents Looking for some cool new pictures of our products in your installs to put up on our facebook page! Post'em up!!

Well i got rear ended the other day. And when I got hit, my subs slid backwards and into my amp rack. Luckily the only damage was a pretty effed up dustcap. its got some nasty cracks in it, and a hole about an inch in diameter. For now, I just slapped some good ol duct tape on it, But these are almost brand new and id like to keep em looking that way. I emailed Fi and they can send me a new dustcap, But I wouldnt know where to start in the replacement process. So if anyone can tell me how to go about replacing the dust cap, I would greatly appreciate it!

Finished up all SSD back orders today..everybody should have tracking information and it will say in transit by around midnight PST tonight! Thanks for your patience!

I just ordered a couple of subs, order number I-15226/00 . I need to change both subs to DUAL 2 coils. I made a mistake in the order process. I tried calling the number, but I got some sort of spanish voicemail? Thanks!

Are there any issues right now with reconing IB3's? My 18" IB3 was delivered to Fi car audio 10/19/2010.

Ne one know the release date on the btl n3's?

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 just order 1 more fi btl 12 but not sure if it will fit. my trunk is long enough at 44 inchs width is the issue, at the tail end of my trunk it measures 57 inch in width for 23 inches in length then then the width narrows down to 32 inches width. i need help.. the height of my current box with 1 btl is 15 inch

Sorry in advance for what sounds like a book but i am not happy in the progress of the install....Here it is old school Eclipse competition cd player 3 sets of RE audio 6 1/2 components pushed by a US AMP md-43 4 channel....2 18in FI BTLS in a 6cuft box (ea) after displacement being pushed by 2 US AMPS md-3d rated at 2000rms @ 1ohm @14.4volts....I also have a 300amp alt big 3 done 5 optima batteries (looking to get XS POWER) and all 0 gauge wire.....Stinger volt meter that is ran to the sub at is ranging 14.7 to 14.0 (i know voltage drop isnt good im getting another 300 amp alt soon) It is loud and hits pretty hard (broke weld in tailgate that holds the handle so kno…

I have been reading plenty of posts and articles of sound quality, yet many people have different opinions on what a sound quality setup is. I have 3 Rockford Fosgate p2s sealed however, it is not loud enough. I am going to buy either a 15" Fi Q fully loaded or 15" Fi BL fully loaded. Both would be ported and in their proper enclosures with about 1200-1300 rms power running to them in a 2007 hyundai elantra gls.(I have enough trunk space) I have equipped my entire car with dynamat because I like to feel my bass more than others. I just don't want my sub to change the sound of my music when it gets louder. What does SQ truly mean? Does having a ported box mean I don't want…

This is the only black Fiday sale we are doing. Don't ask for anything else..this is it. We use a similar motor design for an OEM client, and now we've got a ton of them...so we thought we'd do another black FiDay sale since people were asking if we were. We're not saying a time frame of how long they will be on the website, once they are on and up they will be available to purchase, once they are gone they are gone. I will announce when they are coded and up on the website for purchase on this forum. Old X series 10's and 12's with pricing: $75 - 12" D4 for one (1) $70 - 10" D4 for one (1) 5 bucks off of each at two (2) 10 bucks off each sub at four (4) Plus shipping to …

It can't possibly work

If I have 4 BTL N218's with 2 amps with 3500rms will the amps blow the subs? Because the subs have 2000rms?

Friend of mind is looking hard at ordering a single 12" Q (dual 2 ohm) and running them on Leviathan in a sealed enclosure. He wants to run channel 5 & 6 on the Zed at 2 ohm giving the Q 500watts. Should he order any of the options (apart from high qts) or will just a plain Fi Q be enough? He's running a set of MLK's up front in his 2007 Caddy CTS Suggestions? Thanks

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.

I am looking for some votes to try and win this contest so I can get a few bigger amps for my BTL's. Please vote for me Justin Wilson #38 at http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/promotions/2010_WhatsYourVolume2.asp#vote Thanks for your time, Justin Wilson

First off I don't intend to violate any copyright via design or brand infringement, I was just bored and really wanted to visualize what is coming next from Fi. That being said, I decided to share: I just want to know if the NSG is to be similar to the Ascendant Audio supergauss woofer, with N3 motors in anti-pole configuration. Theres some scaling issues, didn't bother with the heatsink (tho I am sure it is probably the most delicately designed feature in the BtL NSG), ignore the spider location... I really just wanted to see it in its glory, decided to use SolidWorks to whip up a model (I spend enough money renewing my license annually might as well use it right?). …

i got a BL 18 with dual 1s and might be getting a sundown sax-1200D so do you think running it at .35 ohms is safe?

Ok, so iv decided with my price budget that it would be best to get one 18" Fi BTL. The only problem with that is I have a 2004 Impala, and the recommended box cutout is a little too big. It says the height should be 22.5" but i only have room for around 19" max. Would those couple of inches really be that big of a deal? or do you have other suggestions on how i should build my box? I have plenty of room for Width and Depth, its only the height that seems to be an issue.

hey guys, hope you all had a good weekend ! right now my BL is facing the rear and box is only out of .5 mdf because its all i had at the moment, but now im planing on puttin another layer on the sides,front and and top. Will that help with deepness and loudness? I know it stops the box from flexing a bit but dont know what that does for sound. as for the box facing rear, im planing on turning it around and hopefully sealing it off by putting two cut outs on the sides (one on each) going straight across. To fill in the gaps, is gorilla tape good ?
