General Fi

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

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.

How much room do I need to have between bottom of box to the floor of truck? I am building a downfiring sealed box (may go ported with 10's) for crewcab chevy. I have just right at 3.0 ft^3 airspace after displacement which is exactly what is called for for the 12" Fi Q (x2) if I have the legs on the box at 1.75". I just needed to know how much room to clear sub. Thanks in Advance!

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.

i got tons of pics and vids......im exausted though so ill leave you guys with 2 quick teasers. Lets just say i had fun Man the BTL's held up so good.......slammin hard as HELL too!! oh ya, warning HOT chicks involved here http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/videos/tremendous12.wmv http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/videos/tremendous11.wmv enjoy, pics and vids all week........gotta go thru all of em

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?

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

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?

Anyone else besides me loving their new site?

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.

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?

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

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 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…

Hello i took my btl 18 out of the box today just to change wire size and when i looked at the spider it had like4 small cracks on it what could cause this??? i use to own a bl 15 and the spider got cracked too. i was wonderig if this is a manufacture fault cause the spider is so stiff?? i added some goop it glue to each crack just to keep if from getting all messed up..

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…
