What is the best way of getting a hold of Scott? I tried calling but it goes to voice every time. Thanks Jybfan04

So right now i have a 15" Q in a 4 cu ft ported box... sometime late this year or early next year i was thinking of upgrading to either another Q so (2) 15" Fi Q's or (1) 18" Xcon? What do you guys think about this? I am willing to pretty much give up my whole trunk so basically i want some SQ but more focused on getting loud... i like the lows ALOT... i want enough SQ so i can listen to some real rap and underground stuff that has quicker fast hits so i want to be able to listen to stuff like immortal technique and be able for it to sound good... but want to listen to jeezy and be loud as chit... so basically compromise between the two but more focused toward being loud.…

i just wanted to know before i ordered, is the cooling option important to add to the 15"btl for a daily sub?

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

I have a 99 navigator that I just got and am getting ready to put a system in. I am strongly considering the FI BTL 18" sub and would like to get a fosgate t40001bd amp. However, the price increased from last time i looked so the t20001bd is probably in my price range moreso then the t40001bd. I will be getting the sub fully loaded and am fairly unexperienced with high quality subs and amps. My first question is how does a single 18 sound and should I go with dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm coils. Will the t20001bd (2000 watts rms @ 1 ohm) be enough to power this sub and make it hit the way it should, or should i go with a different brand of amp ($700 budget)? Finally, would I n…

heres my frankenstein box in action lol with a few different songs. i added a slow song by bebel gilberto called winter also. this song has nasty bass and it even adds a kick over the already playing bassline near the end of the song (sorry couldnt catch that) well enjoy the latest from fi ssd 12's in the old school benz!!

first question: What would be the smallest enclosure you all would reccommend for two fully loaded 18" BTLs seeing about 3500watts(rms)/sub, tuned to the low/mid 30s and mainly for daily driving (with maybe the occassional competition)? second question: i know on your site it says the btl comes in a 10" size, but i thought i remember some problems with it so you all quit making them as 10s. im basically wanting to know if u all still make a 10" BTL that is built for pure spl? thanks, andy mods: u can move this to the FI technical section if u want...didnt know where to put it.

I am about to order a recone for one of my 2005' XXXs and had a few questions about the recone itself. I know you have reconed alot of these woofers over the years and was wondering if you change the recone composition at all(besides your cone) when compared to the stock XXX composition? Will the woofer still have it's 1500-1600rms capability? Will the recommended enclosure change at all? I was able to effectively salvage the original XXX full face dust cap. Can it be re-used with your recone? In addition to the woofer I am about to recone, I received another misaligned 2005' XXX motor in the purchase. Do you have the ability to re-align the motor and would you be willing…

First the system: Right now I plan on doing 2 12's ported or 2 10's ported, Q's of course. 2k watts total. I will be running lots of mids and highs for "look" purposes as I am hoping to compete in shows, so I imagine around 1k watts, depending on stuff. I have a 160 amp alt and the stock battery is a 730 ampere battery. I already plan on doing big 3. I will probably throw in an extra battery as well. Will I need a bigger alt or will a 160 amp alt work? I know it brings a lot of other factors in. My amps are more than likely gonna be RF amps cause I can get a little deal on them. Any other suggestions or ideas to ensure I have adequate power would be great.…

A year or so ago, I sent a Crossfire XT motor into Scott for a recone and he was unable to find a coil that would work for daily bumping. Anyhow, I ended up purchasing two BL's that same week and basically told Scott whatever on finding a coil for the XT motor. So my question is; Where is that motor now? lol Let me know if Scott still has it, because I wants it! Thanks, Matt

Scott, any updates on finding a proper fitting coil? let me know. Thanks, Matt

Magnets have been cleared today and we should have our container in on Monday. Orders will start shipping out on Monday in the order that they were received. Thanks!

It's 3 cuft tuned @ 33 hz and it's going in a 2001 Dodge Durango. I'm getting the plexi etched at my laser shop and it should slam. This is my first install w/ Fi products and let's hope it's not my last.

I don't exactly know what this statement means on the BTL ordering page: "Current lead time is 30 days as of 11/30/09. Free cooling and sticker pack for all that order during this period." As I recall, cooling is usually a $40 option. And I would like to take advantage of it, but would like some clarification first, thanks!

i was wondering if they could do a 18" BTL with dual 4 ohm vc

I might pick up a blown w7 for cheap and was curious to see if you guys could get some type of custom re-cone for it.

Hi Guys, Ive been using my BL's for ...i dont know 3 years or so. Awesome drivers. BUT I pulled them out the other day and the motor is showing signs of rust. Not nearly as bad as the terminals on the shitty Samsung TV after a year, but its there. Now I live at the sea and things do go bad around here. How much would it cost to rust proof these things. Maybe can add a few extra options such as Powder-coating and using Stainless where possible. I could post pics, but the fact is they still play just fine and its not nearly as bad as this post might make it sound; just sad to see rust on my babies.

I just wanted to say that Fi Car Audio has without a doubt the best customer service of any other car audio company i have ever worked with. I would just like to say that i will be recommending Fi audio to everyone i know. Thanks.

This might seem really horrible to start a forum about, but I feel like it is needed. I emailed FI through there contact tap asking questions about the Subwoofer I wanted to order. I waited a couple days and got no response(still nothing today). So I figured maybe it didn't send, or you know something happened and they didn't receive it. So I went ahead and ordered 1 18 inch SSD, about two and a half weeks ago. I have been checking my email everyday to see "awaiting fulfillment" go away and have a tracking number so I know it shipped. It has been 18 days since I ordered it and so I decided to email them again, hoping to get a response since I actually ordered something. I…

I've ordered a lot of equipment from many various companies and never experienced such concise, respectful, and businesslike as Fi gives.I made several mistakes when creating my online account and ordering and they fixed all they could, next business day... astounding! Can't wait on my sp4 to come in... if the same work ethic goes into the making of my product that goes into customer service, I expect I will be more than pleased.

just like it said up top, what size do i need to cut the holes for the 18" bls thanks

I was just reading back on some topics and i think that i dont need the Universal option if i get dual 2 coils is that true? Will the dual 2 coils definitely give me a 1ohm load?

Well this past week i finally finished up my install so i thought i would post a few pics now and ill upload the rest later on. This was my first attempt at a somewhat nicer audio system and damn did i learn a few things the hard way... lol. Here's a quick rundown of what all i did. 2 layers of deadener in trunk, doors and floor Optima yellowtop up front Kinetic 2400 in back 220 amp alt by iraggi (dom was awesome, and i got my alt in just over a week) big 3 - knu 1/0 Eclipse CD7000 2 sets Hertz high energy 6.5 comps 2 FI 12" BL's loaded 2 sundown 1500 1 sundown 100/4 First box didnt fit as i was hoping to squeeze a bit more out of the trunk ...go figure. Final box w…

When i Had a problem about a month ago my Sub would make a burp sound once in a while and i was wondering if that damages the Sub
