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.

i ordered a recone but there is no n2 recone but there is a new single magnet recone so are the soft parts on the btl saucer the same as the new btl n2?

I'm sick of my mediocre system, and its only been about 3 weeks. My DD m1 did eventually turn on, but is emitting a lot of rf noise. So yay for new amp. I am looking for 1200-1500 watts @ 1 ohm. My budget is 600 dollars. To power a 15" Q. Current prospect amps: US xt4000d DD M1a Diamond D6 1500.1 Electrical Upgrades: None yet. eventually a 180 amp excessive amperage alt and a kinetik power-cell. Power wire is currently 4 gauge with a 150 amp mini anl fuse 8" from the battery. Big 3 is not done yet, it has been too damn cold. The internal Box dimensions will be: 14" tall x 20" deep x 26" wide. 48 sq inches of port (4"x12") 25 inches long Box will be constructed out of 3/4…

Hello. I was looking for a 12" sub that has good SQ, and quite a bit SPL. It will be going in a regular cab truck, with a box that will have between 1.1 and 1.6 cubes. The amp (still unsure) will probably put out 1000 rms, or more. I was not planning on doing any kind of electrical mod (extra battery, etc...)( maybe the Big 3?). I was thinking either the Q or the BL. Could someone tell me there opinion on wut they think would be good for me?

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

Well got a show coming up on May 18th and would like a recone before then. So how much shipped to area code 33027 for a 18" d1 Fully loaded BTL recone shipped here before the 18th?

OK well i had this box i made in my single cab pick up for my single cab pickup and well atm its tuned pretty low....i hit lows real badass...but the highs suck. SOOooo i am going to go ahead and make a new box that will be tuned differntly. What do you all prefer i mean i want loud bass that can be felt and heard. THe lows can be felt nicely and i can do small window shakes but i was told if i tune the box higher it would hit harder but of course lose sq.... I was thinking of tuning my box to 36. The subs btw are 2 Fi Bl 12'. Well the question i am really asking i guess is what would i achieve if i tune the box low(30) compared to high(37) My videos here http://www.youtu…

Hi all, i know that 1/4-20 will work, but will 5/16-18 bolts work? i will be using tee nuts and bolts to hold the sub in. the sub is the Fi Car audio BTL 12". basically just want the biggest bolt that will work. im sure there are plenty of people out there that can measure the mounting hole size and the rubber seal c'bore size. I just want to get the stuff on order and installe din the boxes before the sub gets here so its a quick intall. also i would assume the 18"s have the same sized mounting holes and c'bore in the rubber seal? Thanks in advanced, Anton Miller

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 have a single 10 right now and will be upgrading with a second soon. I would like to know if these subs can handle maybe 900 watts for a daily driver? Dual 2 ohm DVC and box at 2 cubic feet.

i was gettin ready to do a few things last nite on the caddy and i wanted to make sure everything was still working good so i tossed in a Metallica CD. Dont worry bassheads, there will be PLENTY of low-end, deep bass playing in this thing soon enough. I just cant get over how this thing sounds on rock so i had to make another vid veBR01pIejE its hard to get that sub excursion when kick drums move so fast but you can tell if you look they are doing there thing and very much under control too video does it NO justice, once again lol.....i have to say that because the camera mic does not show how good this thing sounds....at least my new camera doesnt distort as bad from…

ok we hooked my friends BTL to a saz-3000 today and as we where playing different songs we heard it popping. is that because its too many watts for the sub?or is it just how its tuned. allso its at 1ohm what do you people recomend to leave it at 1ohm or up to 2ohms???

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

How can i chk to see whats going on with my sub or if its shipped yet I ordered my sub on the 9th of august should be shipping soon The link i was issued stopped working today

alright so I have a fiberglass sub box that is shaped very weird .. its cut out for a 10 was thinking about an fi q .. I currently have a kicker cvr in there that is just not cutting it, will I feel the bass better with a q or will it not be as loud?

hi i need to know how much wattage max that a fi audio q with the bp power up grade

I like loud and yes the 4 Q15's Sealed in LOUD!!!!, but I think I may change up so I don't have such a huge box in the back. When I was running only 2 Q15's ported in my magnum, my boy was running the single 18" BTL ported in his Impala and we were hitting identical #'s. He was pushing the BTL with a Power Acoustic 2000 and I was pushing the 2 Q's with a US Amps MD2. We both metered 152.7 legal on an AC mic. Once I stepped up to a 4 pack of Q15's and an IA 40.1 @.5ohms, I got about a 5 db increase and alot of air movement, which makes for nice hair videos..... I guess what I am wondering is....with an 18" BTL in 8cubes ported properly and tuned to 32hz and the sam…

I would like to know how can I get a Fi audio tech specialists to contact me, thanks.

After helping my father with my dying stepmother(cancer), she pasted away on July 9th, and I have been helping my dad with everything. But now I have time to spend helping Fi and Ascendant again. I'm sorry I was gone without a trace, but I was going threw the family thing. Im am back woriking for Fi and Ascendant on a part time basis, while going back to school. As soon as my Magnum SRT-8 demo vehicle is done, I will be going to dealers in the southern states. So just wanted to say "Hi" and "I'm back"!

It's been bout a week now I haven heard anything bout my subs and recone when are they going to be shipped

How can I tell the difference between a regular sp4 and one that is fully loaded?

I currently have a 12" L7 kicker DVC 4ohm With a 3.75^ 3.0cubic feet at 35hz enclosure. Im loooking into getting a subwoofe that has good sound quality that can possibly get loud and sound clean. The amp ihave is a kicker mono amp 08 ZX 750.1. It is 2ohm stable. Accoriding to its birth sheet if i can remember correctly, it was putting out 823 rms watts I was looking into the 12" JL audio W6 v2. BUT I was looking at the 12" Fi Q So i was leaning towards it... My car is daily driven and im not sure about the options for the Fi Q sub. I am a noob to this car audio stuff and dont really know what is what. Since i am looking for SQ i dont know wether i should go sealed or por…

lookin at buying a new vehicle and im wondering what the best vehicle would be for 2 18" BTL's ?? iwas thinkin Grand cherokee but i dont think theres enough room, what vehicles do you suggest i check out?

Was tired driving home from finals, and about an hour or so away from home....swerved to avoid something that ran across the road (deer?), and rolled the focus at least 3-4 times. The winshield shattered and caved in, front half of the roof crunched, windows shattered, amps and batts were thrown from the trunk, and i guess scattered a good 20-30 feet from the car. I probably wouldnt be writing this if i had not had the wall built in the car, acted like a wooden roll cage....you'll see what I mean when/if i post pics. The car is completely totaled, not sure on teh condition of the speakers. Not sure how, but i was able to get out of the car with just a couple bruises and a…

Ok so this is what im getting Sub: Fi BTL 15 inch, All the options cept cooling cause i got p chamber (it said not to get cooling if you got that so i dont know lol) And its Daily Amp: ROCKFORD FOSGATE T1500-1BD (T15001BD) MONO 1500W POWER Series AMPLIFIER Component speakers: KICKER DS680.2 (DS6802) 6" x 8" 90W And a 1/0 gague wire and a Capacitor (ROCKFORD FOSGATE RFC10HB 10-Farad Digital Hybrid CAPACITOR w/ Digital Readout) Would this hit hard enough to shake the chit out of my van? And i know your going to tell me to get a battery but i just want something small and light and not take up so much room. So you cant talk me out of getting it lol.
