General Fi

As title states, I orded my 18, and now I'm thinking of how I'm making a box, it's going to sit inside of a 2000 Four Runner, last box I made was for 2 12's at 5cubes, 33hz Can I make a box at 6.7 cubes and tune it to 28 hertz? or will that sound bad.. I like low tuning by the way Thanks guys! Also, do you think a Audioque 2200D is perfect for this sub?

Big Fi sticker I saw just after I got off I-9Five this morning.

I have a 91 S-10 Blazer 4dr... Right now I have a full JL Audio setup with a JL 300/4 powering my JL speakers and a JL 500/1 powering my 12W7 in a sealed box. Now I want to upgrade. I have a buddy with a single BL 12 which sounds good...but I think I want more than that. My problem is this, I want bass...lots of bass, like to the point that you turn on a bass track or a decent rap song and it's hard to breathe or swallow...lol...but I want it to sound decent (had a ground zero nuclear 15 once...bass was brutal but sounded like crap...) I know that you can't have SQ and SPL together... I want SQ, just SQ that moves you...lol. I listen to all types of music but mostly…

Can't remember if you guys did black friday deals last year or not..... If so, I'm curious if you guys will again this year. I was wanting to pick up another SSD 18, and if there's a sale it would be a perfect time for me to get one.

Hey guys, I am getting 2 Fi Q 12"s and need to build a box for them. I want to get the most output out of the subs as I can with still having decent sound quality. Ive never built a ported sub box before and would really appreciate some help as I cant seem to find any for 2 12" subs. Thanks, Luke

Ok so i have a 2002 chrysler 300m. i want to get one 15" BL but i dont kno what kinda electrical upgrades i will need. i dont have alotta money to be jus spending so if i dont need somethin i rather not get it. so what do i need to get and i want to get a MB Quart DSC 2000.1D. i need to kno how much each will cost so if u cud help me with all this, itd be great. Thank u so much.

I just ordered 4 of the X series 10's to replace a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ 12v2's. I am curious what size vented enclosures have worked well with them. Thanks!

Hey guys! So I just bought a brand new 2010 cobalt Lt 2 door and I am lookin to throw a 12" BTL in it! One problem is the trunk is Small!!!! My old sub box wont even fit and its not as beefy as an Fi it was an Orion hcca 10" But I really want this sub so I was thinking of getting the Fi built into the trunk Like Fiber glass or something. You guys are really helpful so I was wondering does this seem like a good idea to you? any other adivce perhaps? I would give you the trunk specs but its drark right now I can get them tomorrow. Has anybody tried na Fi in a custome trunk? thanks for any help!

Just wondering if i can get a flat dish style dustcap with my 15" RE SE recone. I'm not really into the "boob" style dustcaps as they blow off too much lol. Also what is the power handling with the integrated leads and d2 ohm flatwind coil?

Where can I find an accurate list of Fi or AA dealers ? I found a dealer on ebay, just in my island ! IT seems too good to be true, but did not find no prices. Btw, I live in Martinique (FWI) Can this dealer be legit ? Some people are interested in the BTL here, and I would not like them to have any problem.

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"!

So I just recieved my BL 15" fully loaded last week i got it pretty much broken in and today i noticed my box had slid around in my trunk almost sliding its way into my back seat and since my back seats were folded down the rubber rib of the sub actually got wedged against the ceiling of my trunk which is about 3-4 inches shorter towards the opening then in the middle of my trunk where it normally should sit. I tried my best to carefully get it out but i failed and ripped about a 2-2.5 inch slit in the rubber rib( bassically it looks like someone took a razor blade to it). I listened to it and theres no difference in sound or SQ that me or anyone could notice. Im wonderi…

I was interested in purchasing the BL 12 subwoofer with all additional options. I currently drive a Honda Civic 2 door and don't have a lot of trunk space to work with, specifically 16" height X 32" depth X 30"+ inches of width. I wanted to know what the smallest possible enclosure dimensions could be for a ported box, with the box tuned at 33 hz with roughly 2 cubic feet. I am planning on running a Kenwood X1200M, which is 1200 watts @ 2 ohms, which should be sufficient for the sub, right? Also, is there an advantage in running my sub at 2 ohms instead of 1? Specific dimensions and instructions would be appreciated as I am a rookie in the field of car audio. Thanks.

I was just wondering if any one could help me out. I was thinking bout getting a Fi bl 12 for my Crewmax. Im going to rip off the back panel behind the back seat and make a sub box with an amp rack. The box it self is going to have 2 - 2.4 cubic foot of airspace and tuned roughly between 30- 33 Hzs. The amp i have right now is a Diamond d6 1000.1 which does 1000 rms at 1 ohm. So i was just wondering if anyone thinks that this would be good or not? And also if the sub would beat kickers subs? Cuz wea i live everyone likes kickers.

I've had a family member offer to give me two identical Cliff Designs amplifiers from one of his old setups when I mentioned that I plan to get a Q12 setup going. I had previously been looking at a Hifonics HFi1500D. He is rather insistent. As I don't want to offend him, I'm wondering how practical it is to use one amplifier per voice coil. I could get 1000W out of it the pair theoretically (500W x 2 amps @ 2 ohms) by doing that instead of only 700W (700W x 1 amp @ 1 ohm) that the gear can provide otherwise. I know not if the amplifiers themselves can be strapped, so it would have to be this route if I wish to use them both. I have an oscilloscope that I could use f…

How will my bl12 sound in a BIG box?

Huge thanks to JBLCAMRY here on the board for helping us out with sketchup and making the drawings for us. If they don't fit your vehicle..sorry. These are simply general boxes for the average install for a musical daily driving scenario. If you are looking to chase numbers you are on your own. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/forum/68-fi-technical/ Check it out! More to come later

Hi, I'm looking at picking up a Sundown Audio SAX-1200D to match it up with a single Fi Q 12" with plans to run a ported setup. Being new to car audio my question is, will these two work together? Everything I've read seems to put these as a perfect match up. For options on the speaker I'm assuming it will need Dual 2 Ohm and cooling options. Is the option for an extra "spider" needed? I'll be ordering the amp in the morning, should you guys give the OK, as there is an amazing deal on one of the internet retailers. Thanks for the help.

i got a re mt motor that has a shifted top plate. can i send it to you guys to align it, and on top of that, have you guys recone it back to specs? i already got a 12 spoke basket and ill be willing to send that in for minor but minor cleaning. thanks

This is my first system. I'm not sure how many speakers to get to compliment my subwoofers. I was thinking four 6 1/2" component speakers for the doors (amplified of course). Is this enough or will the subwoofers over power the mids/highs? The speakers are Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-S.

i just recently bought a bl 12 dual 2ohm with cooling added, and was wondering what the actual rms handling is? i've seen plenty of videos and read plenty of posts making the 1000wrms handling very unbelievable. it seems to me they can handle MUCH more, even without the cooling option added.

Ok i just installed my system yesterday... Its not hitting at all. They guy at the shop said that it needs to break in a little bit before he adjusts it? I have a sundown sae 1200d and all 0 gauge wiring. Is it not hitting becuase its not adjusted right? I know that 1500 watts rms is ALOT of bass and should be LOUD, but its not hitting. So is it because the adjustment on the amp?

hey everyone. I currently have a 1 15" BL, but im getting a new car in a bit, so im looking at getting 2 12" ssd. I had a debate between SSD or the HDC. I know a big!! difference but im running them off a aq1200d that i have now so i figured i wont be upgrading power in a while. And if i got a aq2200d do you think i would be safe with the 2 12" ssds still ? Im guessing the ssd would move more than hdc with only 600 rms on each? Do you think the 2 12" ssd will be louder than the 15 BL because of cone area? thnx guys, sorry if they are stupid questions lol

ok so today i was on my way home and my sub just quit working. i checked the ohms for the coils and its 1.25 . i checked the wire running from the box (there wired to one ohm). So i thought that it was ok. so i then checked the voltage of the speaker wiring coming from the amp and the volts were jumping up and down. so i then hooked up a ten and it played fine. So my question is what is wrong thanks for the help. my amp is sundown audio 2000d my sub is fi btl12 MY HEADUNIT IS pioneer avic n4

Just wanted to stop and say thankls to all the guys on here and the guys from Fi just got my 2 18 btls in chevy trailblazer 15 cubicft tuned to 34 hrtz sounds like nothing i have ever heard before thanks to all who helped me reserch on this forum and persuading me into buying Fi best subs around hands Down Vids Coming soon
