General Fi

I placed order dec 11 its been 5 weeks waiting fulfillment on my status,#757, i know fi's off hollidays, i sent email on fi site no reply i just want to know how much longer i have to wait?

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'm stuck between these anyone have any experience with any of these or can give me some advise: 1. Specs say volume is 1.21 but really it's 1.13 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_951_Si...e+-12SQTC-.html 2. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7596_S...-+1H12-1.4.html 3. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8387_S...AY+CARPET-.html Price wise they are all the same, so I just want the best sealed enclosure for good SQ bass.

Im looking into buying 2 15''s from Fi, the BL or the BTL. The only problem is since BTL is regarded somewhat as a SPL sub, Im curious if sound quality is lost in the process. So my real question is, do the BTLs have decent sound quality (in a well built box of course) and also how do the BL's sound?

ok so my order status has changed to awaiting fullfillment. I may be a dumbass for asking this but does this mean my sub is in the process of being built?!? Just want some clarity on the subject.

any input would be nice..if you had to pick, 4 q 12s on 6k ported or 6 12s sealed on 9 k?

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

I came across this on the other side of the net. Could this be a sign of things to come? The back plate and basket spacer are different than that of the original ufo. Lets here it Fi, inquiring minds want to know.

My dad used to be really big into car audio and dbdrag's and stuff back in the day I'm talking about back in the early 90's when cerwin vega and JL was top of the line.and he is going to be helping me with my install. I was telling him about my 15" SSD and running it at around 1000 watts @1ohm. He said running your amp at a 1ohm load is bad for the amp because he said it will overheat allot quicker. He also said I will be going through amps like tissues if I run them @1ohm As long as I have my gains set right and I don't clip my amp won't overheat and crap out will it?

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!

im doing an install in a 2000 expedition im going to use a MM1400D and a MM100.4, the budget is kinda tight since he wants to spend $1000 for everything. it's going to be for everyday use only and never see a mic. should i run 4 kicker cvr 10's or one 12" Q ported? and why?

I just want to thank Fi car audio for all the help they have given me. For those that dont know the story here it is.... At WF 06, I needed my atomics reconed and didnt have the materials to do it, so Scott and the guys said that they would no problem. I dropped off my sub at their room/workshop. About 10 minutes into the ordeal Scott informs me that the coil, cone and other parts are wrong. I was, needless to say, screwed. They said to hell with that. asked what freq I burped, what power I had and what class I was running. I didnt know why they asked since I in no way brought enough money to purchase a sub from them on the spot. The friend that introduced me to them sai…

does anyone know the rms of a 12" ssd with bp and fw, d1 ? would it be able to handle a hifonics 1608d amp?

Would it sound ok to put an Fi SSD in a 1.00 cu.ft. enclosure with a port tuned to 35 hz?

Just as the title says, I'm looking at the best amp for my money to power my single SSD 18. Currently I will be using my 700W receiver as my amp untill I get a new amp for christmas. Sundown seems to be super duper popular, and apparently the best amps around. But the problem is that for the money, I won't be able to get 800W RMS if I go with sundown. I know its probably not recommended at all, but I found a Boss Audio amp rated at 750W RMS at 4 OHMS for $155. It didn't have any bad reviews from what I read. But I know boss audio doesn't really make quality products (at least from what I have read). Hopefully there is something better for the money. I really want to ths s…

Alright guys i have an old box for 2 15's. Its 10 cu.ft tuned to like 33 hz. Im wanting to get some new Btl N2's. But im not sure if i want to stick to 15's or cut the holes out bigger to hold 2 18's. What do you think i should do? Never had 18's. So Im trying to squeeze the most spl's out of it as i can. Also i will be using my Memphis Mojo 4kw amp.

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.

Hi guys I was wondering if any of you have any tips for buying a H/O alternator? Currently I'm thinking of purchasing an Iraggi 260 amp dominator series alternator for my '03 Chevy Tahoe to power my 18" BL. The BL is being ran off of a kicker 1200.1 with kinetik hc 1400. Will the 260 amp H/O alt be enough for my BL?

So just bought a sp4 15 was wondering if anyone has done. 4th or 5th order with them and if they sound any good an opinions on boxes

I am gonna be ordering a 12" BL soon and i can't decide what i should power it with. Any suggestions? What are you using to power it? Moneys not really an issue but i dont want to send "too" much. Maybe in the 400-500 range. I was thinking maybe going with Earthquake amps (recommended from a friend) but i dont really know. I know alot about subs, absolutely nothing about amps. Thanks, Tyler

Thanks fi can't wait to install.

Hi, im about to order a fi btl in the next few weeks. Im deciding between a btl 15 and a btl 18. I have a hyundai elantra with a 220 amp alternator, 2 batteries and a soundstream rubicon 2500d. I listen to almost all rap and im looking for the loudest system i can build for the lows. I can only fit a 6.7 cube internal volume ported box which is 5 cubes net. I dont know which sub would be louder in this size box. But i really want the 18.

I'm just lookin to listen to some. Please.

Is someone from FI going to email me back? been waiting 2 days.
