General Fi

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

why cant i post pics? Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed whats that supposed to mean?

this is a fi comparison thread to mainstream subs i was thinking this would be a good idea for people who are coming from mainstream products (like me) to fi's line of products this will help alot of people make up there minds on which fi sub best suits them. im going to need lots of help on this (: FI SSD- ... The SSD Series of subwoofers is our all around daily sub. Double stack magnets with a heavily bumped T-yoke allow clearance for high excursion. Along with pair of heavy weaved progressive spiders, a multiplayer foam surround attached to a fiber impregnated kraft pulp cone helps keep things under control in high power applications. A 3

Ok before anyone says it yes i used the search and other forums. I just cant find some of the answers to my questions. Here is everything im workin with. I am tomarrow buying a 00 Nissan Pathfinder, i have all of the cargo area to play with {which is not under 30 cubic ft} just need room for the amp and room for it to have ventilation. My equipment is as follows 1 Kicker zx 1500.1, Kicker 2 way active x-over, 1/0 every where, big three, Audio control overdrive line driver, Kinetic HC 800, and as for a head unit my friend sold my truck for me and i told him not to sell it with the h/u well guess what im in the market for a new h/u nothin more than 300. My dilema is i dont …

Not in a rush Scott I know your busy but the prices shown at Fi aren't as exciting as the one I purchased before...lol I'd PM this but.... Do you know or remember the setup of the sub I purchased?(Meade's build) I'd like them the same but Dual 1's. I know the previous one was set up for Daily and thats it. I'm new to the BTL's and I'm hooked and wont use nothing else man. I want 2 of them.

i need a recone for a tc2k+. would you guys be able to do that for me??

I was wondering if anyone has managed to put one or 2 15" FI audio subs in an extended cab ranger. I have a 95 that I would like to upgrade. I currently have 2 Jensen competition series 12's in a deathbox II and its just not enough for me. I have seen 15" subs in rangers before, but I would worry about fitting a big enough box so they sound nice, and FI subs seem to need slightly larger boxes than some other 15s BTW, If anyone is selling USED amps or subs that are in good shape, I would love to know!

So this last weekend I came home for spring break. I have a 15" Q and my brother has a 12" q. Saturday night my sub quit playing and I was a little drunk so I didnt worry about it. On sunday we built a new box for my brothers new truck(he unhooked in perfect condition 3 weeks ago) and by the time we installed it we realized the top magnet was cracked all the way around and shifted about a 1/8 inch, so the coil was grinding and sounded awful. We ghetto fixed his by beating the magnet back into place with a rubber mallet and siliconing it in place, now it sounds fine. The next day I went to diagnose my problem. I blew the sub when I was drunk when I turned my deck and b…

getting ready to place an order for my Fi Q series 15's but not sure what amp to use. I havw a Jl1000/1 i'm useing currantley. I know that this this is not going to be enough to power the two subs,but will a fosgate t-2000 be enough or should i look for something bigger? Need to figure out what amp to go with befor i can order my speakers.

Hit-up (2) shows this weekend and finally got myBTL 18 metered. Qualified with a 147.4 and hit a 147.7 in the finals. The sub is pushed by a Colossus II in my 99 Explorer Sport. Eletrical is stock for now. Qualifying round...didn't get the pic of the 147.7during the Finals (I have the certificate though ) Getting ready... 170DBs...

First off I should say this is a great site, especially having the manufacture forums. Back early on in high school I was in a friends regular cab truck, with what I later learned was 500 watts going to the subs, and I guess you could say it left a footprint in my mind about car audio. Scroll ahead to me being 23 now and after spending a couple years in performance and looks category I have started to piece together my first car audio setup. I have been trying to learn as much as I can for what seems to be close to a year now, I know some of you must be thinking 'what's with all the wait?' I have learned with especially performance it is not always the best of things jus…

does any body know which Fi sub series are almost the same in pawer as the kove armageddon i am planing to use fi's because it is hard to find the kove armageddon that are new.

Need some help, I have an 09 Silverado ext cab truck, and currently I have 2 type r 10's and a PA BAMF 2000/1 amp, the box is tiny, fits under the back seat and down fires (sealed .6cuft each sub) . My buddy with the exact same truck, just put in the same box with JL 10w3's and a JL Slash 500/1 amp. His system KILLS mine!! My type r's sound terrible. I thought it was the small box but a local shop told me it was most likely the crappy amp that I have. So, I have decided to throw my current set up in the trash and do it right this time. My question, should I go with the SSD 10's or wait for the new Q's? The amp I will use to power them will be a Sundown SAE-1200D (unless …

My order #999 was a Q18 Dual 2. Dual 2 is important, because I'm only running 1 woofer and I need to be at a 1 ohm final load. I received my speaker in the mail a little under a week ago, and brought it out lat night to do some wiring. I hooked up the multimeter to the terminals, and...what in the world? Both voice coils read 5.2 ohms. Dual 4 isn't even an option on the website? How did I end up with what appears to be just that? I sent Shawn an email through the sales email, hoping to hear back today. I'm at a 3.2 final load, which is no bueno. I've got 1500 watts on tap at 1 ohm, and I'd like to use them all.

You may see me browsing but i'm not going to have time to post i'm not ignoring you, i've got the wake tonight and the funeral tomorrow and after that it's work on the truck 12 hours a day... I will be slow to reply to emails because i will be up and down the road all week...just have patience Thanks -Nick

I was talkin to a box builder last night...He gave me some good advice. My main goal is a LSQ system...He said go with a FI Q 18...i was like have you heard one...he said yeah...in a sealed box. He said it would sound better than the same woofer in a ported. This is what he relayed to me from an installer friend of his. I was like ok... He said go 18 inch Q sealed 4 cu ft.....i was like how bout 7 cu. ft ported tuned to 30 hz... I was thinking would it make a BIG NOTICABLE differance on an 18 inch Q...in those box dimensions...its an 18inch sub...thats pretty big... or should i go with the 15...?(for LSQ)

so i talked to my friend and he said when he gets back in town he'll hit me up to buy my amp and sub.. but i am going to try to talk him into buy my type r's along with my amp and kicker sub for 950 or 1000 dollars. hopefully he does and that way i can order everything at once.. alrighty thanks guys.. so as soon i as i get word ill put an order in on a 15 standard BTL. thanks again. oh yeah.. what would shipping be to Wasilla Alaska 99654 one more thing.i seen a guys 15BTL on steave meades website forum. and he had the problem with tensel slap or something and it went right through the spider. did that get fixed?

Soon to have one more 18... Check these videos! Besides the little problem I had with communication, Fi ROCKS! You Tube shrunk the videos and made them a little blurry but you get the pitcher.

i ordered a btl about a month ago and its status has been awaiting fullfillment this whole thime. I have not got any emails or updates on my sub and in my account it says i have no completed orders with fi audio but the mony has been taken out of my bank account. has anyone had a problem simmilar to this? also i cannot get any return e mails or messages on my order. any help would be apreciated. thank you.

Hey guys I was emailing with Nick about a recone for my SE to a sexxx 15. I'm not sure if my latest emails are going through because my site and my host have been fouling up lately. If they have and you are just busy sorry for sending them twice email is josh @teamzx2.com -Josh

To those who are currently on the BTL back order you will be receiving a call tomorrow (Yes, Saturday) in regards to the current back order status. You will be receiving a phone call somewhere between 9 and 5 pacific standard time tomorrow. I'm sending an email out now to those who have emailed in regards to this matter. Thanks! Nick

I wanted to see what my Qs sounded like in a sealed enclosure and I must say I love it!!! Here's pics of the build!! Box is 10.46 cu/ft dual chamber, so 5+ cu/ft for each sub!! Power Plant!!! Test fit

I JUST RECEIVED MY ib3 12 sub which looks better than imagined and alot heavier too!! i read that its 550@20hz. i was looking into getting an alpine pdx 5 for my car wich is 350 rms at 2 ohms. does wattage affect output in a free air sub? does the 550 @ 20hz mean i shouldnt give it more than 550 or would 550 be the minimum power. i dunno, its a bit confusing. some help on this would be appreciated im not much of a noob in the audio world so scientific explanations are welcomed! haha

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?
