General Fi

How much is recone for 15" btl and basket shipped to FL>? How long would it take to get shipped out after payment has cleared? thank you.

do the recones on the btl come with woven tinsels?

i am new to FI audio and ive been searching and watching videos. i have become very interested in this brand now. i want to probably just get one of the new 18" btl's and i didn't know what options to get for this sub. it will be used daily but i still want to know how many db's this thing will put out with just having one of them. and also what is the best amp for one? thanks

Okay so, I'm ordering my BTL 18" friday and wondering if this is what I should go with, I'm going to be using a SAZ-3000 everything electrical wise is hefty due to my old system. This is what options I'm wondering if I should go with: dual 1 cooling HiXim daily induct heat ring Give me some opinions.

hi i ordered my btl on nov. 28 and was wondering if all the btl back orders had been completed yet and if i can get a tracking number for invoice number I-13385/00 .. thank you to everybody at fi you guys are the best!

hey just recently got my btl 12 (quite the beast lol) and everything was all good until i got this dude to build my box...he "supposedly" contacted fi and got the box layout for my car which is a 92 camaro but i have my doubts...so its hooked up and the car shakes a lil bit but i can barely hear any bass...not sure if that makes sense but its kinda like its free airing even though its in the box...another thing is when i turned my amp up (aq2200) it made a like tapping noise like it wuz bottoming out or something, not really sure thats why i posted this also but is that another affect of the box cuz the impression i got from all the reviews was that the btl would take the…

i am running (2) 15"D2 Btl's in 6 cub. ft. @ 32hz right now. the amp i am using is a zx2500.1. what is a safe or optimal freq. to turn the amp to? is this something that is done by listening or is there a general rule of thumb. i am just noticing that the higher notes in almost all the songs i listen to, are almost not even audible. the lower notes are def there but what would correct this "problem?"

Just picked up one my BTL motors, plan on getting another soon. And I am working on a new box as well. I will be giving a Sundown3000 to each BTL, my question is can I safely tune the box low? I wanted to tune around 29-30hz but I have been told tuning that low with that much power on them is not a good idea.

im getting an explorer XLT and im wandering how 4 18" q's sealed would do VS. 2 18" BTLs ported. which would get louder which would sound better? im thinkin that the Q's would win both scenarios but i thought id come here to see what everyone thinks...

I just registered over here, and Ive seen some of you on other forums that will know my setup, but Im sure alot of you dont. I got 4 18" BTLs, 8 Sundown SAZ-1500Ds, 10 Kinetik HC2400s, and a 300amp alt. The enclosure specs is 6.5ft, 35hz, 100sq in of port. Sorry, this video is real crappy. Its kinda hard to make a good video when I have like 20 seconds left on the camera and the battery is going to die.

hi i ordered a fully loaded 15"btl on november 28th and i have tried to email both scott and fi sales with no reponse from either of them i was just wonder when an approximate shipping date would be i know there was a 30 day lead time

Here are a couple of pics of the N1 motor. Little odd looking compared to most designs, but form followed function. This is rather close to final version, except that material for top and bottom plates is a little thicker (for future profiling) and I wasn't paying enough attention when I wrote the code and wrapped the chamfer all the way around when it doesn't need to be where the spacers/end caps mate.

This is the standard replacement for the Gen1 and Gen2 BTLs. It has similar power handling and options. The heatsink/inductance ring which was an option on the Gen2 is now integral to the design. We spent quite a bit of time testing the sinking and cooling to ensure that the Neo magnets used would not suffer degradation due to heatsoak (a problem which plagues other designs). Form followed function with the motor and is why these new versions are a fairly radical departure from the last designs. Weight loss is significant compared to the 11.25" diameter magnets used in the Gen2 motors. More info to come both on the site and here. We are trying to get pics for the N…

We have the BTL N2 subs up on the site for sale with specs. As mentioned there will be about a 4 week lead time on the first orders of BTLs. This is due to waiting for the balance of steel and heatsinks to arrive. N1 will be up late tonight. Thanks, Scott

Does anyone have Pictures of BTLs? I would like to see them Email me at [email protected] thanks, i just ordered mine and im anxious to see it

Anyone want to post experiences with each model, how much power, results? exc. I want an n3 like a crack head needs his fix. Seems like the BTL is what really put Fi on the map as far as spl and woofer building respect. When all this was happening I had bought my first pre-09 Q motor.

It's finished for the most part and I will try to have a video up soon, the equipment used is listed in my signature. Please give me comments and criticism and take in mind this is my first ever install and I'm still a 16 year old in high school, haha... so nothing to harsh =] thanks to all on SSA forum who were here for me while i was gathering everything for my install and during the actual install!

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?

Im looking at purchasing two BTL15's and I'm leaning toward the Sundown amps. The SAZ-3000D is rated at 3000RMS and I've read that it's underated at that. Is this amp too much for a fully loaded BTL15. I plan on strapping two 3000D's to two BTL15's at 2ohms which should be 3000w per sub.

hey guys i know this is a spl sub, but alot of you folks do use them for daily drivers..how do you like them? i really want to try a few but im worried that they wont sound right..and by that i mean im comming listening to w7's for 6 years..and i know after that many years on 1 sub your ears get accustomed to them..so are the btl's something i listen to all kinds of music like rap and rock daily and still enjoy or am i barking up the wrong tree and should maybe look at bl's? also i have a side question, say you have a 12'' spl sub and a 18'' of the same spl sub, would the 12 sound better and be tighter cause its smaller or no truth to that?

Well i've got my friend hooked on Fi. He wants to build a setup with my help. He is looking at a 12" or 15" Fi BL Powering it with a Directed 1100d, old model. He listens to mainly rap, and it will be placed in a Grand Am. What options should he look into with this amp power. I told him to just get it fully loaded if he ever plans to upgrade someday. Just need some opinion. His main concern is what size to go with, what is your opinion, I personally went with the 15, and love it.

hey im brand new to building and i just had a few questions. i've been trying to read up and take in all the material i can get my hands into online. i have a 2000 honda cr-v ex and im looking at getting either the BL15 or the BL12. i wanted to see what everyone thought would be better for an suv. i would be putting it in a ported rectangle box. and it also seems i would want to get the dual 1ohm but what else would i get that is optional? sorry for being such a newb haha. any help is appreciated. i just wanna have all my info done before i buy and ship it ot my house back in the states so i can come back from iraq and install thanks!

Everyone else is doing one so I figured I would too. I am only going to show pictures up to right before the final install, since I am re-doing that Wednesday. The HU, love this thing been a very nice HU to me. Some pictures of the equipment 2 12" BLs, flatwind and cooling 2 Sundown 1500.1s All the equipment + my old subs 75 Feet of 0 Gauge (not including the 25 feet already in the car) First off, building the false floor. Had to raise it up on 2x4s to make clearence for the batteries. Running the 0 gauge, I actually managed to fit 3 runs of it down one side of the car Everything just about wired up Carpeting the Floor More pics coming Wednesday Nig…

I am not trying to ask "when can I expect my package, it has been 2 months", simply asking if everything is being built on time. If I can expect what the website says, then I will be patient and wait. If anyone knows if the factory is behind with the holidays coming up or anything, please let me know. Thanks.

im doing a single 12 ssd on a rockford 1200.1d in a pontiac vibe and want the best bang for my buck... does anyone have any plans they may be willing to share? i dont want to use the re audio calculator cause i know thats not very accurate. and im also thinking abou buying a custom box from "dave the box guy" but thats at least 6-10 weeks so i will have to build something for the meantime... any thoughts are appreciated.
