    Alright so heres my situation. I currently have 2 12"alpine type R's. They are dual 4ohms and i have them wired up at 1ohm on my mtx amp. My amp is a ta7801 which is advertised at 1200w rms at 1ohm. But the birth/dyno sheet with the amp is 1663rms. I am pretty happy with this setup but just like everone else, you always want something newer and louder. Well a buddy of mine just offered me 300 for just the subs and custom box i built. Considering i payed 115 a peice for the subs this really got me thinking. Well through a couple people i know and just seeing on the internet Fi audio makes some good stuff. So here is my real question and goals. What would be the best sub fo…

    here's a small vid since I never got around to it before http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u175/ha...igherresvid.flv ok, I have no IDEA where to start, 1st I'd like to thank Scott and the guys at FI for helping me while in a helpless situation! OK, these weren't your average recone, they had to machine adapter plates to get the 12 spoke baskets even compatible with my motors because the bolt patterns aren't the same... they had to tap them so the 12 spoke basket could be screwed into the spacer/adapter and drill through holes so I could bolt the adapter to the top plate of my motors.... THEN, there was a mishap in shipping and the original recones/basket/parts and my FI…

I coulda turned it up more but i just wanted to see what it would do. somehow i got 1st place..maybe cuz there were only 3 other people in my class. one of these days im goin to see what it hits in the port cuz it pushes alot of air for just a 12. but yea its a beast and i havnt had any trouble at all with it. THANKS Fi heres some youtube videos of it

    I did a Google search for Brahma recones, and this was the only real result I got back. I know Fi's not Adire Audio, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm pretty sure I blew one or both voice coils on my Adire Brahma, and I was wondering if you sell recone kits, so I could take the sub to a local shop to get it reconed, or if I could ship the sub to you and get it reconed. The sub is a 15" Adire Brahma, Mk I or Mk II, I can't tell the difference, it's got the four spoke basket though. Dual 2 ohm voice coils. The cone and surround are absolutely fine, I'm pretty sure i just cooked one or both of the voice coils (sub still plays, but only plays quiet, sound…

    Right now I am planning on running 3 10" BL or Q's in a ported enclosure at about 3.2cuft or so after displacement and such, ran off a Sundown 3000. I am not entirely sure which to use, BL's or Q's and would like to know the major differences between the two in order to help my decision. Thanks

  14. Sorry to say that there will be email and "some" order delays from today through Monday 10-16 due to several of the Fi staff attending the 3 dB Drag world finals shows through the US. We will have 2 people on staff running some production but the balance of the shop will be "closed" through then. We will resume normal production and emails on Tuesday and get things back up to speed and make sure that all orders are filled ASAP. Sorry for the delays, but we will try to keep you all posted on the shows as well. Thanks, Scott

  18. Hi, I have a strange issue that seems to be getting worse. Ill start from when I think it happened. My friend and I built a 4CF box for 2 FI SSD tuned to 30HZ. When we put the box in my cobalt I noticed that the wire terminals were upside down. I didnt care at the time I was just wanted it done for the time being. This was back in 2010. A few weeks later I decided to have my other buddy help me remove the box and put it in the right way.and reposition the subwoofers so that the labels looked the right way. When I was reorienting the subs I unhooked one completly to show my buddy,turns out when I hooked it up I wired the coils out of phase. I didnt know until I was on my w…

    From today (10/18) through the end of the month (10/31 for those that cant remember ) if you buy a BL with the flatwind option you will receive the full cooling ($40) for free. All orders will be automatically upgraded. Just a little thanks to the forum and customers that have helped Fi make it through its first year. Thanks, Scott

  22. Hi all, I have built two 120 L cabinets two drivers per box in a dual opposed configuration (drivers facing out) I have been told that the std Qts drivers can sound peaky ? Can someone explains to me the term PEAKY. I have four Fi Q 15" first two orderd was dual 1 ohm but the second set I orderd later was dual 2 ohm so I will be having these changed back to dual 1 ohm as this suits my inuke amps. So it it worth having all my drivers changed to High Qts or is there not much difference between them ?? Thanks for any input

  25. First show with the BL18's finally playing in the wall, didnt do dbdrag, but managed a 148.3 for bass race....I was pretty happy considering we still havent done any testing on it Lots of work to do yet, the baffle (5 layers thick) was still flexing like a mofo, so we def. need some bracing. Still have to tune the wall as well, woofers getting a little warm and smelly :-) Love the subs, def seeing a 150+ bass race in the near future!! I'll try and post pics soon...
