General Fi

box is sealed each sub gets 2.3qf will get 2nd sub soon.. or should i go with single box 4.3 qf and a single BL ?? i like my hair to shake its relaxing.. but was wondering if 2 fiq 15s will sound louder and clean bass vs 1 15bl on 4.3qf.. i have a pretty good front stage.

I have not really got a direct answer yet, so figured I would post here. Would 2x12" Q's in a sealed enclosure move more air than a 12BTL ported? I prefer low bass ~30Hz. So far, I like how deep my 12BTL gets, I don't want to lose any of that. I haven't heard many systems, so I need to ask alot of questions sometimes..lol

is there a certain distance the driver wants to be from the back of the enclosure or is it fine anywhere as long as the correct amount of volume inside the box is present? also, is there any advantage to buying a dual voice coil sub over a single voice coil?

Disappearing for a while from the land internet..I won't be here or around email for a while..so if you email me and don't hear anything back..that's why. Thanks!

would a alpine m1000 be a good amp for a fi bl 12? i was going to get the SAZ-1000D but i can get the m1000 for cheaper. there both 1000 rms so i think it would be good

I am getting my new FI Q 12" on Tuesday and want to have everything set up and ready to go when it comes so I can hook it up and go without fiddling with settings on amp or cd player. I need to tune my amp and will not take it to a shop to get charged for something I can do. My question is how to properly tune my amp without an oscilliscope, or hooking my sub up. I want to be able to somewhat tune it with the sub unhooked as I want to properly break the sub in and cannot do that by tuning my amp with the sub hooked up. Once I have the sub broke in, then I will fine tune my amp to the sub w/ it hooked up, but until then how will I have it tuned pretty close w/ hooking …

i want to hear a fi sub. someone in kansas city wanna give a demo sometime???

hey guys, so im new to car audio but have been doing quite a bit of research.. i first planned on getting two 15" jls but then i found fi and would really love to get to 15" bls and two amps to power each. ive got a 93 ford explorer with completely stock stereo, all four speakers are blown so i need all new speakers and an amp to power them. i also need a head unit. so i basically need everything new. i plan on doing the big three upgrade and any other things necessary to have a clean install, i also plan on making my own box. if anyone has any suggestions or anything to say about my plans id love to hear about it! another thing is that i see people giving bls 1500 watts…

its so stiff right now i can barely move it with my hand, the coils on the dmm read .7 ohm's and .5 ohm's. regardless of how i wire the VC's it ends up at .5 ohm's, not sure if its my dmm failing or if i just fail at life, any help? final ohm load should be 2ohms FI says .7 ohm's for D1 set so it should be ~1.4-1.5 ohm's

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 know someone has pics of the new style 2010 ssd i wanna see em.

got my box in and everything is gravy...... will have pics of head unit under the hood batts amp ect.... coming as soon as i get them

Whats going on, I'm need to this sound world but I was interested in 2 Fi BL12 which would be powered by a Sundown 1500D. Is that enough power to make the subs sound good? If not what do you recommend? It'll be in a dodge charger which has plenty of trunk space.

I bought my 15" BTL around winter of 2008 And dont exactly remember what options i ordered on it. Im getting ready to order another BTL either today or tomorrow so that it will arive around the time i finish my box an i wanted this BTL to match the one i have. I do know it is * Dual 2 ohm * Daily * Not universal I Do not know if it Has * P chamfer * Cooling * High XM coil * I Heat Ring Could Someone Tell me where to look for to see if mine have these? Thank you

I recently purchased my two new Q 18's, and they arrived about a week ago. The UPS guy dropped the boxes and he bolted to the truck. I went outside to bring them in when I noticed a box was severely torn, retaped, and then ripped again. I know this was UPS, since my previous experiences with Fi, as well as the other box, have always yielded nice packing. The subs seemed fine, but I also ordered a T-shirt and banner for my car. The banner fell out of the hole in the box, I am guessing, and the shirt had a hole in it. I contacted Fi about the problem, informing them about the shipping problem, and Scott got back to me the next business day. Without asking any other q…

anybody know some good software i can use to make enclosure plans?

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.

best options for SQ and i wanna hit some lows. the amp will be a SAZ-1000D dual 1 or dual 2? hyper pole yes or no? cooling yes or no? flatwind yes or no? daily of spl? universal yes or no?

im about to get a fi bl 12 and i was looking for a amp but im not sure for what amps are good. btw im new to car audio

i need help making a box for a fi bl 12. i have 97 honda accord so not that much room in the trunk. i would like it to be ported but i dont know what to tune it to or how big to make it. if i could get some plans that would be lovely

I know that because of the weight of the bl15 i need a double baffle box. But what if any is the best way to secure it to the box? (via regular screws bolted in etc)?

now thats great customer service just got a phone call update on my 12" btl and it's going to be a little longer on the wait but that don't matter to me i'm going to stick it out till the end b/c i know it's going to be woth it. thanks for putting the effort into calling make me feel good to know that you guys accually care about your customers thank you fi

Honestly in your experiences does the FI Q work/sound better in a sealed or vented enclosure? and does this seem to change with size? (ex. a 10in Q sounds better vented while a 12in. Q sounds better in a sealed box) Just wandering what everyone's opinion is

I Have a fully loaded BTL 15" Running on an SAZ-3000D my question is will getting another one make that much more of a difference? since they will both be running off the same amp. Eventually i plan on getting another SAZ-3000D when money will allow but since i only have 1 3000D will sending 1200-1500 watts to each be louder than if i sent 2500-3000 watts to 1 ?

Hello everyone, I have a 15'' BL fully loaded daily dual 2 ohm, better wires and better cooling. I followed the recommended specs for the box and tunned it to 31 hz, with the right amount of cubic feet, forgot how many cubic feet but i just remember the box is good, and ported obviously, i dunno how else you could tune the hertz on it if it were not ported... My wiring is good 4awg for the power and ground cable. The amp is good, got it new, works well, hifonics brutus 2000 watt amp, the gains on it are optimized to work great with the headunit, the other settings for frequency i dont rem the technical terms for them but i remember they are set so its between the low 29 …
