Can I run 1500 RMS safely through a Fi Bl?

Well, first post here. I'm a long time member of caraudio.com/forums, but browse here frequently. So basically, I just bought a BTL off ca.com and want to know if it'll still be able to use it. It has a snapped tinsel lead and some holes burnt in the spider (see pics below). I was wondering if you guys think i'll be able to just replace the tinsel leads and use it like it is. I asked quite a few people over at ca.com about it, and most seemed to think I would be able to get away with just doing that. Obviously, i don't know much about recones/repairing subs. I already regret buying it...I'm on a super tight college budget and when I saw the cheap price I couldn't he…

Im interested in buyign 2 btl 12" subs i want to no wat the 3rd magnet does also if i could use a massive 3000.1 to run them both?

my alternater is http://www.autozone.com/selectedZip,78570/...g/selectZip.htm would that be a good alt to power my system...that is around 2k...

this great 12'' challenge review everybody seems to be talken bout?

I've been waiting almost a week to receive my paypal invoice so that I can pay for my sub. I think they forgot about it. Can a rep please email me, I'd rather not give my to JL.

hi guys ive been trying to communicate with you guys for over 2 weeks now via email and got no response i send you guys a message via facebook which responded stating you guys responded however until now i have not since received any responses can someone please get in contact with me, or help the situation please. thank you.

I had a pair of Q 12's sealed and wasnt a fan. Loved one ported but had trouble selling single. I got good deal on a BL 10. Whats optimum tune for daily. I read 32hz. If I tune it to 30 would it be noticeable difference.

I see people that may not be checking the review forums coming here to get information/reviews on Fi subs. Is it possible to copy my review back to this forum for reference purposes? Just a thought to make it easier to access the information.

like the title said can you guys make a basket and recone for a american bass vfl sub

Hey Scott, i emailed you a while back and haven't heard anything,(i know ur a busy man) so i was told to come here and u might help me out a little faster. I was wondering is there is a way i could get some tinsel lead since mine split and im getting tired of seeing it cryin in the corner hurting. O the sub is a 15 XXX 04 model. Thank you for your time and have a great day. Brian

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra and was wondering if anyone would be able to share a box design that they have in there Nissan Sentra for one 15" BTL? Room is not a problem because I don't use the trunk for anything but for my audio system. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Thank you. You can see my setup I have for now at http://www.carstereo.com/rwussow. Later.

I'd like to make an order for an SSD for my co-worker. Now the thing is I cant order off the website, so how can I order it? I know how much it is, I've got the shipping quote I just need to make the order and send payment. How do I do it? Thanks

How do I place a Canadian order with Fi Audio using a credit card? No respond to email so I though I would try and get an answer here.

so i was hoping to order a pair of btls this friday and went to go check out the website ordering, and am unable to put a canadian address in, i emailed for a shipping quote last week but have yet to be responded to.. any help would be appreciated -thnx

Hey Scott/Nick, I ordered a sub awhile back and you guys were pretty gracious in helping me out. Now I have another question, does shipping to Canada usually take longer then expected? Ya'll emailed me that my BuzzLightyear shipped on Nov 16 with 6-10 days wait. It's been a lil longer then that. I was wondering if customs gets held up around this time of year, and if you've ever had problems like this. Thanks guys.

So a couple months ago i discussed my sub fryin on me with you guys, sent it in was talkin to Scott at Fi got speedy responses from him couple weeks later i talked to him asked how things were lookin said they would have my sub shipped out by fri which supposed to be 4-10, i understand they are busy with things goin on but ever since that last message from them i cant seem to get any answers from them, anyone know what might be up. is Scott on vacation or what cuz i understand chit happens but i just wanna know whats goin on you know

i have been trying since monday to get my order in with fi car audio sales and scott for a fully loaded btl 12 and after 5 days of anxious waiting he emails me back saying that it'll be 501 shipped out here to hawaii well that email made me happy.....mind you that was at about 630 am our time he says that he will call me later on on the after noon our time and get my information so i can pay... well ive been waiting by the phone all day and no call currently 900pm..... so far ive waited 5 days now to place my order and i am becoming irratated as their is a little comp coming up and i would like to enter with the btl... plus its a birthday present to myself......im just ve…

First off I don't intend to violate any copyright via design or brand infringement, I was just bored and really wanted to visualize what is coming next from Fi. That being said, I decided to share: I just want to know if the NSG is to be similar to the Ascendant Audio supergauss woofer, with N3 motors in anti-pole configuration. Theres some scaling issues, didn't bother with the heatsink (tho I am sure it is probably the most delicately designed feature in the BtL NSG), ignore the spider location... I really just wanted to see it in its glory, decided to use SolidWorks to whip up a model (I spend enough money renewing my license annually might as well use it right?). …

Well I hate to announce it before it happens but since Scott's private message box is full....here is what I sent you. Been awhile since we chatted. I FINALLY got a call from the photographer today to set up the photoshoot for Car Audio and Electronics. We will be doing it this month between the 17th-19th. He will call me tomorrow for the actual time and date and location! I will keep you posted. Yes fellas you WILL be seeing Fi in a featured car, but then again with my chitty luck I will be in the "Choices" section.

my girlfriend recently*well like 2 months ago lol* scuffed her rim on a curb, now i don't see any bend in the rim or what not but there is visual marks on the rim for sure. Now for the past i'd say 2-3weeks she has been leaking air, the curb job wouldnt cause that would it? The rim would have to be bent for it to cause the tire to leak correcT?

This is how it worked out... 28.6 pounds = 12" Q weight. 28.6 pounds = 12 972.7418 grams 15 grams per CD If you do the math you get 864.849453333333 = 865 CD’s. Tommy guessed 864 CD's... The next closest one was JakeTheSnake with 878 CDs Congrats to Tommy! Shoot me an email with your address and we'll get a sub built up for you how you want it. I've got a new game that i'm going to start in the next few weeks that I think all of you will enjoy.

I'm on the way home from CES so I figured I would post some pics of some cool stuff around the shop. I talked Scott into letting me take some pictures of the new 22" basket as well as new proprietary speaker measurement system utilizing a laser and some other cool stuff hanging out at the shop. Here's the measurement system: It is attached to a 400lb 4" thick solid piece of solid granite.

hey guys i need you're help! im planning on buying a fully loaded bl 15(dual 2 ohm). i hear the sub can be pushed to 2000watts no problem but im pretty new to this whole sub thing so i'de like to have the sub running at around 1500watts. i was hoping you guys could help list me a couple good quality amps that won't cost me an arm and a leg (im a student). my budget is around 350$. at first i was leaning towards the hifonics bxi1606d but i heard they put their specs a little too high, so now im looking into kenwood(KAC-9103D), power accoustik(psi 2000d), and refurb kicker(ZX1500.1) amps which all fall near my budget. i know some of the amps i named seem a little high for t…

I updated the sticky section just now, and after sitting here for a few hours i'm taking a break lol. It explains all the available options with the subs and whatnot, hopefully ill be able to get some pictures and some "cookie cutter" boxes done soon. Thanks for your patience while we re-build the forum Thanks! -Nick
