Whats the average wait time for a couple sp4 15's?

I have two sealed subs 47L enclosures built around the Peerless 830500 driver. This driver is rated at 12.5mm xmax. Details here: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=297-608 Extensive details about my sub here: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/thor-intro.htm Bottom line is that I would like more output as I am bottoming my existing subs. I'm okay with building new boxes but ideally I would like to use the same crossover as it is tailed to work with my main speakers (Linkwitz Orion) Assuming that the 28mm xmax spec of the Q12 is one way rather than p-p, this driver should give me about 6-7db of headroom. I modeled my 830500 vs the Q12 in WinISD and the re…

In a week or so i'm going to be ordering a 15" Q. What are some amps you're using for the Q. These are what i'm looking at, at the moment. Alpine PDX 1.1000 PHOENIX GOLD RSD1200.1 Hifonics Brutus BXi 1608D

being that the BTL is more spl oriented<<--- or does it matter if a sub is spl oriented? how does it handle the lows?

Can i put a a sundown 3500d on a single 15 fi bl?

The replacements:

Hey can someone help me find a sub grill that will work for an Fi Q 12"? The one for my old type R works but im worried about the edges because the FI has that rubber rim that sticks out quit a bit.

Went to my first SQ comp today and took home 1st place (IASCA) Running 2 Fi Q's Bass score was 16 out of 20 possible points. Would have been better score but the judge said I could have used a bit more power on the subs. (ran them set to Eric Holdaway's ears and some judges like more or less here or there) Way to go Scott da man, judge looked over the install after the SQ judging during my presentation and smiled when he saw Fi subs, said he was happy Scott was going strong (exactly his words). Damn Scott everyone knows you! I will admit I scored 26 points behind 2nd place for SQ due to front stage/imaging issues but stomped ass in install by 48 points. I will get …

ok so how loud could a 12" BL get with daily music? in let say about 2.5cuft and 1500 watts???

i have a fi btl dvc 2 ohm and was wondering how can i wire it to get the lowest ohm load thnks

Hi there i have an 18" BTL the older style one with the tripple magnet and while taking out the whole system so i could design a new box i pulled out the sub from the old box and spotted that the spider on the btl was ripped in about 2-3 places 1 of them being a noticeable rip and the other 2 look like there about to rip and also i found out that where the spider is glued to the cone the spider was coming unglued in a few places. I wanted to know does this mean that i need a re-cone or is it salvageable, pictures are below, the pictures below are of the major rip one Thanks

I was wondering if someone can give me a qoute for Fi BL 12 shipped to Hawaii.(zip code is 96792) I want to order 1 next month

Okay so i went to Freemans Audio today to give the guy my idea of what i wanted to do with the box. I arrived with the intention of sealing off the trunk and having the sub faced towards the cabin.... the guy said that it would be better to have it in the trunk facing the trunk becuase it would resonant off the trunk, if it fired into the cabin, i would be the first thing it hit... For "my way" wouldnt there be less trunk rattle and it be louder to there ear? versus "his way" would have more trunk rattle and some of the sound would be sealed in the trunk??? I dont have to long before i have to tell them my final plan... tommorow they will most likely start working on it a…

My old gasket is all raggedy and ugly, where could I order a new one from?

Doing some counting...we set the limit at 250 for the Q's. Currently have 37 of the BP options left for FREE! Take advantage of it It won't last much longer!

CAR: 2002 Grand Prix Sub: 1 Fi BTL 18" (Second Gen) Amp: Waiting for the Crescendo 2k Battery: 1 XS d3400 and 1 d925 up front Stock Alt. 110 More 6 Cadence 6" Mids and 6 crescendo tweeters Ran off a crescendo 4 channel Stay tuned!!

just wanted to know if anyone on here has one and what would the mounting depth be and displacement on a fuuly loaded 10" BTL. also, how much power would i need? thank you in advance.

hey im considering getting a 12" q with an alpine m1000 would these two work well together.? and do i get a d1 sub or a d2 sub to wire it at 2 ohms. thanks ~mike

Lets hear from some people that have had good servce from Fi. I did but its was back in 2010.

I havent been on this forum in months so I did a lil update I am currently running 2 btls on 2 audioque 2200's. The subs are D/2 fully loaded. I have a 220 iraggi alt. The big 3, 4 kinetik 2400 batts and 1 yellow top under the hood. Here is a couple pics of the equip stripped from the car getting ready to upgrade. Now the question I was going to run the subs just 1 sundown 3500 wired to .5 ohms (just til I get the money to buy a second amp).But I read in another thread that it is hard on the subs. I didnt know that i thought it was only hard on the amps if your electrical couldnt back it up.

I was in street B, and got 2nd place with a 140.5db run. Another guy from here "chapter 2" got 1st with 145.9db in street B. We were both running 15" BL, except his box was bigger than mines and he had a bigger amp... :-( Charles another guy on here took 3rd in street B with 137.6db with 2 12" SSDs. Charles man, BIGGER Box!!! I took 1st in bass race 130-139.9. Another guy on here Tom took 2nd with 152.2db in Super Street 5+, he lost to a guy that had 20 15" RF T1, thats not fair. Tom also took 1st in bass race...140-149.9....Tom did end up doing a 151 or so in bass race, that was not recorded. This all took place at USaudio, which Fi sponsored it by supplying tro…

Today I met a guy (goes buy oldschool on termpro) who does like 155.9 with two twelves in db drag. Well personally I wouldnt want to compete with him *street b* so i was looking at doing a street a setup but i have heard that the 10" btl's are not musical that they are just for burps only. So a few questions: 1> How musical are they??? 2> How much power can they handle??? (looking @ 2000 watts right now) 3>Would doing one 12, or 3 8" be better???

i would like to apologize to the fi and ssa forums for my outbursts at other users language and additude it is not my style.....i got a bit mad and lost my head....i do not like being called a liar for no reason... to doubt me is your right as an individual.....but to just bash me and slander my name is equally wrong but none the less i offer my apology to all that i offended...

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?

so im at the am/pm pulling out of the parking lot and some guy is egging me on to bump my chit......i dont know him and i dont have anything Que'd up (watchin TV) so with traffic backin up i had to bail. So i end up at the Shell station to get me some gas and before i know it, its a sideshow.....some guy heard me rumble by a few months back and came up and introduced himself to me and wanted to see it. So i show him and its cool, then someone else sees the back open and wants to check it out so he pulls over. So the nice guy i am, i decide to pull up and let him actually hear it from inside instead of across the street from Hollywood Video. You know me, i had to make som…
