General Fi

Web guy got a few new shirts and the hats up...he's working on the beanies and a few other things as well. Got a long sleeve shirt too

I decided to change my set-up. I want to build a forth order bandpass for my two FI SSD 12"s. I think they are the 2008 model. I am putting in my 1995 Impala SS. I plan on porting it through the back deck. Can anyone help me with the numbers I need. Such as the air space volume for the sealed and ported areas. Also for the port (@ 35 hz). I wanted the box to be tuned to 35 hz. I'm trying to get the MOST out of these subs but with All the sound pushed into the cab and not rattling everything aound in my trunk By the way I will be powering them with a Audiopipe AP18001. And if anyone has done any thing similar in my same type car please post pics. Thanks in advance!…

hello everyone just wondering if someone can help me and send me to the right spot i am looking for a oscope..can someone send me in the right direction thanks alot...

In about a month it's going to be time to purchase and I'm stuck on this last aspect of the system. The sub. Will the FiQ work well with electronic music(breakbeats,trance, drum and bass) and rock music? What size sealed enclosure for primo SQ(tight clean bass NOT boomy? Will be powered by a 1000watt rms Sundown amp. Sub will be in the trunk of a small 4 dr. sedan. Front stage and Deck Alpine CDA9887 Mids and Tweets- Hertz HSK 165 Front Stage Amp- Sundown 2 Channel

Could somebody please tell me the differences and or pro cons about these two subs? This is what I have narrowed done to to buy. FI is really busy now so I thought I could get some opinions before I order! Thanks

What's the fastest way to get a hold of Scott aka FiCarAudio? I used to have the number but looks like it's been changed. Scott if u see this, please shoot me an email or a number I can call you at. [email protected] Thank you

The foam on the top of the basket didn't have the mounting holes drilled in it. Also, the holes were a tad small for a 1/4" bolt. I saw a thread on here before where someone drilled theirs out to accommodate 1/4" bolts, but I've never heard anything about the holes not going through the foam. Is this normal, or did they just forget to put the holes in mine?

ok so i ordered my sub right around valintines day an it took over a month to get here an i finally got time to build a box this week end an hook it up! it never seen power till to day an i thought my amp was fried at first i couldnt get any sound or movement out of it at all.. so i hooked it up to a friends amp an it barely played so we put it back in my car on my amp. when we did that it finally started to play on my amp.. but it barely moves an you cant even here it hardly unless you get close to the sub. i tryed rewiring it a couple different times an it still just doesnt play hardly.. what is wrong with it? i know it aint the amp because i hooked my tens up an they …

I don't understand ohms at all. But I'm ordering a 15'' BTL with an audioque 2200 watt amp. So it will just be 1 sub, 1 amp. What ohm should I run? and can somone maybe explain what it means to me?

Alright.. first of all excuse my terminology.. probably use some 'wrong' terms in this post, bare with me here is some backround.. 1 18"BTL, 1 SAZ1500D, 2 Kinetik HC2000's, all 1/0 knu wire. Had some guy build a box for me.. thought he knew what he was doin.. i could have been wrong.. the box seems strong.. very huge. I dont know the exact Cu Ft of the box, he told me tuning was around 32hz. This is my first big system.. ive had tons of 12's but no 15's or 18's. Im going to set my voltage with a DMM here in a little while (post my math under for verification). 1) This BTL is insane.. the output blows me away.. hits so damn hard when it hits.. but as far as musical its j…

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

I am looking at getting 2 Fi ssd 12's. i currently have an audiopipe amp that pushes 1500 rms @ 1 ohm. would this amp work for my new subs? and if so should i get the dual 1 ohm or the dual 2 ohm?

I was lurking around through there website and found the Fi X and i want to order 2 but i dont know the price?

I'm looking to try a new driver in my home theater and after hearing nothing but good stuff about Fi I think its time to give them a try. I am considring the Q15 or Q18. The enclosure is sealed with a net volume around 7 cubic feet. The amp is a Face F1200TS and I will run the sub off of one channel leaving the other channel free for a second sub in the near future. I have a dcx2496 in the chain between my Marantz 7002 and the Face amp. I am open to suggestions if anyone has an opinion of a different Fi driver to try.

Howdy everyone. I have pretty limited experience with car audio and I was looking for some opinions on what I had in mind for my next build. (I just blew my old subs, not too sure how, but they were junk anyway.) I was looking at the SSD 15". I'm going to make a custom box thats going to be right around 4 cubic feet after displacement and tuned to 33hz. The amp I'm looking at is the Rockford Fosgate Prime R1000-1d. It's rated at 1000 watt RMS @ 2 ohms. I was thinking I would go dual 1 ohm's and wire it up to 2 ohms. Now would I have to add the flatwind coils since I would be putting it 200 watts over the RMS rating? Any criticism/opinions welcome, thanks.

I am running a pair of Q 15's on a PAI-2000.1 @ 1ohm sealed. It's deep and its loud, specially in a civic hatch. I don't want to lose my back seats if possible, that's why I opted to go with the Q's sealed from the get go. The box before displacement is 4.9cuft on the dot. Do you think I would get more output if I closed off one of the speaker holes and added a few 4" aeroports, tuning the box to 33hz and popping in a single 15" BTL D1 to run the amp at .5ohm? I am not sure how long the ports would have to be or how many I would need (3-4), so I am not sure if after displacement it would be an ideal enclosure for a BTL. I would be losing half my cone area (-3db) but …

I have seen a couple old threads about these 22 inch subs but I have not read anything of them in the last few months. Did they ever come out? Also what were their specs, price, etc...?

I have a few questions about the Fi BTL sub" 1) What is the difference between choosing the options Dual 1 and Dual 2? Ex. Would i have to buy a certain amp if I chose Dual 1 or Dual 2? or if i get 2 subs would i need 1to be dual 1 the other to be 1 dual 2 ? 2) Is there a warranty for the Fi BTL sub, if so how long is the warranty for? Thanks for your time regarding these questions, Alex

ok so i know this is probobly a dumb question but i have to ask. what is the best series of sub to buy for a daily bad ass bass machine? to fill it in for you here we go...... i have a 86 bmw 325E a friend and i did everything ti this car as a team effort. it has two mephis 5 1/4 on a 2 channle ads, 2 orion 6x9's on a orion 225 and (had) 2 soundstream t4's 15's in a 10 cubic foot box, round ported, tuned for 35 hrtz. the car has two huge glass matte batterys and a 320amp alt on it. now the subs were driven bt a orion d1200...... obviosly way under driven, but it purduced 130 dbs on a normal song ( blur berry yum yum by ludacris). so the one sub re burnt the voice coil and…

Lookin into putting together another set up for the spring and summer. Last year two 12cvr on (dont laugh) power acoustik BAMF1800 bha. Question is how much would a 15 Q running off say..... hifonics BXI 1210 d embarrass the kickers? Oh port facing back in town car ( big @$$ clamshell trunk)

So ive done the big 3 and upgraded alternaters. The big 3 is done in 1/0 awg. Its pretty dern strong. No more dim lights, Voltage drop isnt bad at all. im sittin at about 14.7 when the bass hits itll drop to about 13.9 But does anyone have any advice on how i can get some highs outta my speaker? ive got a jvc kdr 300. is there any settings on there that would help?

This is my first post here. im building a sub box for a 15" Fi SSD. it hasnt got here yet and i need to know the cutout diameter for the hole that the SSD goes in. the box is 4 cu.ft. tuned to 38hz

Just got my Fi SSD 15" and built my box. The box is 4.3 cubic ft. tuned to 42hz. i know thats a little high but it sounds pretty good. What do you think? I'll be doing a blow-through in my 83 S-10 soon and this will go in it. Heres a video of the build. and heres some pictures

hey guys, if you checked out my latest vid i posted a few days ago then you will know that people have been saying it could be hitting harder, but im confused here because on some songs the amp clipping light comes on so it would be sweet if people with more knowledge could help me out so if you guys could show me what the gains should be set to, to have the loudest possible beat that would be much appreciated here is the vid here are my current amp and H/U settings (the red dot next to each setting is where the gain is set to) Box = slot ported tuned to 32hz Amp = AQ2200d Sub = 18" BTL D2 Head unit settings Sub lvl = 13 (max 15) Bass lvl = 0 Tuned at 30 volume with 50…
