    I was tracking the UPS shipment but I noticed this message today: 02/06/2010 13:15 RETURNED TO SHIPPER 02/06/2010 12:15 PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / RETURNED TO SHIPPER Is this means that the package was returned to shipper again?! The shipment date was not posted anymore but it was supposed to be delivered this Friday.

    I think i will be ordering 2 of the 12' fi q's soon. My question is will these hit harder then my 2 kicker cvr's. I want something louder that hits harder but ive read the q's are more of a sq sub (which i want better sq too) so i didnt know if i should go with the Bl's or the q's My goal is louder than the kickers with better sound quality so any opinions?

    nick.. i called scott and spoke with him for just a second.. he said he thinks he may have a VC stilling around some where.. but wasnt sure.. so i figured i would ask you to see if you had an idea>? also that would be the cone and surround aswell correct? with a dustcap? im sure it wont be the OEM but just a cap. im not sure how this works but it has the adjutable coils on it?? im not too sure i need that if there is another option anyway thanks for your time in advance.

    The 2010 FI Q 10" just arrived. It is definitely heavier than I was expecting but looks really good. I guess I can start building my custom sealed box soon. I haven't figured out how I will attach a grill to it yet. The 28mm Xmax and the fact that the cone sits higher than the lip will produce a challenge to protect the subwoofer. The only thing that pissed me off is that FI shipped the subwoofer using UPS. $60US shipping to Canada and then $92CAN for Brokerage and Customs. This is why I try and get everything via USPS.
