General Fi

Hi all! Finally came to the decision to go with Fi but not sure what model or size to go with. Just trying to get a little input. I'm a daily driver and listen mainly to rap. In the past I've entered in a few local SPL competitions when I had four 12" Diamonds but nothing serious. I'm trying to keep the price around the $300 range. Currently I have two 12" Kappa Perfect VQ's, each in its own 1.75 cu ft slot port box and each powered by a Hifonics Brutus 1505D. 0 awg power wire. 5 farad cap. Exide orbital battery. There is roughly 9 cu ft to work with in the back of my '97 S-10 ext cab and I'm willing to devote both amps to powering one sub. Right now its a toss up betw…

The Foam surround ripped apart on my fi Q 10" After 6 months of play. I have no idea what would cause this. Fi customer service is lacking to say the least. Does anyone know how to get in touch with someone at fi? I have been e-mailing the [email protected]

I really do hate asking this question, but I am curious. I only really see everyone running 15's and 18's, not 12's. Does anyone know how the 12" BTLs sound?? Or at that size would it be better to go with a BL or Q?

I just wanted to say thanks for the Fi apparel! I received the shirts days ago, Monday or Tuesday, but with my work schedule this week I haven't had a chance to get online to post the pictures yet. Scott- it's much appreciated, they fit great, and for the time being fits these guys as well

do you recone l7's?

how long does it take for pay pal to Carrie out a payment ?

Recieved my subs the other day from Blade Ice (European distros of Fi and AA) Piccies here: http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?p=3664884#post3664884 Major thanks to all involved, great services as always (previously has BL's) and the subs look amazing with the chrome dustcap ! Also have to say a personal thanks to Scott (who probably wont read this but still) who got my alternator to me in time, a burden which originally had nothing to do with him. Thats the kind of thing you don't see anymore in the world. Gay as it may sound I really am touched. Keep it up guys, no one can come within 1000 miles of your service. Thanks So

Ok, well i sent and email to [email protected] but i figured that i might just post up on the forum to share with everyone else this information. I apologize about not posting on here first as i read the sticky AFTER i had emailed you guys. 1. Do you sell Recone kits? (soft parts excluding the basket unless i need it and does it come with glue?lol) 2. What Recone kits do you offer (BTL, BL, SSD, Q, RE SX? ______________ and what else?) 3. How much are each of the Recone kits shipped? 4. Do you have a Shim i could maybe purchase? 5. Could you include more information about the recone kit? ( what size 2" 2.5" 3" do you offer 4"?) 6. How many layers do the Recone kit co…

Recently bought a 15" bl and a fosgate 1000bd and am getting the big 3 done on thursday. Is one battery enough if its a yellow top?? Or should I just keep my regular battery and add a second cell in back. I would rather just have the one but not if its not gonna be good enough... Please help

Hi, i currently own the Q15s w/BP. The SQ is exellent but i would like more output. I have heard BLs dont get a lot louder than the Qs and the BTLs are way louder than both. My question is... Would the BTLs get louder than the BLs on 1500 watts. I dont see anyone running a BTL on 1500 watts. Also, the amps im running are MTX TA8001 1500 watts at 1 ohm (birthsheet says around 1900 watts at 14.4 volts so im might be getting around 1700-1800. Thanks Keith

The reason why i ask is i currently have 4 RE SE 15" running off of a T40001bd,, they sound great but im only hitting a 148.3 with them so since i want to brake into the 150's I want to get a second T40001bd and some stronger subs,, thing is i like the way these SE's sound so Im trying to get something strong but that can sound atleast as nice as these SE's..

so my fi bl 18 is on the way along with my 2400watt amp,,,my cars alt only puts out 105 amps so ill be needing a 2nd battery...i dont wanna do the big 3 tom uch money so how can i hook up a battery??? -can i put the 2nd battery in my trunk??? -if so am i supposed to hook it up to the alt or do i just once in awhile recharge it??? -wtf?

Well..given the direction we are taking with the trying to re-iterate the importance of having manufacturing here in the states it reminded me of something I learned of in history class years ago. FDR was famous for his "Fireside Chat's" back in the days of nothing but a radio to talk to the people on a personal level...so this is what i want to do. I'll hop in the chat in the evenings when I have time if you want to shoot the breeze. I would rather not to get into a technical debate or an enclosure Q&A as well we have the forum for that. But if you'd like to come in and shoot the breeze go for it. I'm in there now for those who have never been in, it is at the top of…

Was thinking, and wondering if Fi has contemplated making some ear buds? I know myself, and many others i'm sure would be all over them. I have no doubt they would sell like hotcakes. I would love to see some high quality buds in the future. With awesome drivers, and a better cord then {others} with maybe a "Fi" logo built in anyways, those are my thoughts.

I got rid of my G35 and bought an Explorer which I decided not to keep, so I got myself an '07 Dodge magnum. I have a pair of Q15's and a US Amps MD2 running off of a hi-lo converter on the stock system, and it still sounds tremendous. In a couple weeks I am installing a new HU and some mids and highs, but mu question for you is....What subs would you run in a Magnum if you were going for a LOUD daily ground pounder that would meter well. Meaning, not an all out SPL setup. Stick with the Q's? Get a pair of 15" BTL's? A single 18" BTL? My new baby...

i have two fully loaded fi btl 18 dual 1 ohm subs cant decide on wich amp/amps 1 rockford fosgate t4000.1 bd 1 sundown audio saz-4500d or two rockford 2500.1 ANY Ideas???

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 had tried and tried to remove this dust cap on my other Q cuz i have one with a cracked dust cap but works fine and i have one that looks perfect but the tinsel lead is fried i wanna replace the cracked dc with the good one so when i send it in both are ready to roll when i gets it back.... i CANNOT for the life of me get it off its like freakin godzilla glued to the cone ....100% relentless swear to god any tips?

Curious as to what would get louder. Figure the 2 SSD's would get louder but I have always wanted a BTL. I have tons of space in my man van to use, if I remember, roughly 40 ish cubes for a box. Subs would be powered off a Crescendo 3k. My current electrical system is a stock 90 amp alt, which will be replaced with a 270 amp alt. Have a kinetik HC1400 for the front and a HC2400 for the back, probably pick up another HC2400. So, roughly with that information, and lets say that the BTL and the SSD's are in boxes tuned to 32ish hz, in there ideal space how much louder would the 2 15"s be? Thanks, Luke.

running 900rms to it, should i get the bp power option? should i get it just in case i ever run more power to it?

I recently had 2 12 Q's and am upgrading to 2 15 Q's and was wondering will I lose a noticeable amount of SQ? Both applications are sealed boxes. Same amp & location

:clap: i finally received my subs on monday the 15th and got them installed the same day but today the 19th i finall finished the install and cleaned it all up so it looks proper. just added my 2nd battery and did the big three with stinger pro 4 gauge wire. it sounds amazing and u feel every note with authority. i am a Fi customer for life now. http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac202/owenmakenna/005.jpg

some strange man left a box outside my door... Fi Q 12" 2ohm DVC, Loaded (BP Power) pretty much everything's ready to install... just gotta buy some rca's and a small amount of speaker wire... i'm freaking excited thank you fi for prompt shipment and great customer service

Just had my system installed yesterday the 26th. I finished my custom box, carpeted and everything. Its 2.3cuft tuned to 33hz and its ported. I have a stinger amp kit, all 0 gauge. I also have a 250amp fuse. My system includes one 12in fi bl fully loaded, and a sundown sae1200d, which is capable of producing 1500 watts rms at 1ohm. This is my first system. OHH and i also purchased a line driver from jl that was like 200 bucks. Anyway my system HITS HARDDD Aas HELLLL. It freaken vibrates the cars around me. I annoy people alott on the street. People think i have 2 18's in the trunk of a 2010 altima lmaooo that wouldent even fit. What the hell i dident no my system would be…

so how do you "break in" a ne sub? i relly wanna know thanks in advance
