General Fi

I am having the hardest time deciding on a sub/amp combo for my new car. I am putting this in a trunk so space is a factor. I'd like to retain some space. The poll lists some of my top choices. I'm also considering porting a Q 15 with one of the amps listed or even porting the SSDs if I decide I can live without a little less trunk space. So my question to you would be if you were looking for LSQ, which of these setups would you choose? If you would do something else, please tell me what that would be. Just FYI, the electrical you would be working with is a stock electrical featuring a 130 amp alternator.

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…

Pretty much decided on Fi for my next sub. Going for a single 12 in the trunk of a saab. The amp I have is an Elemental Designs Nine.1 with 1200 rms @ 1ohm or 900 rms @ 2ohm. Question is whether I should go with a BL and push the limits or underpower a BTL? I listen to mostly rap btw. Thanks for any insight!

if i have two amps that are 1600rms each and i want one amp to each sub what should i get the basic btl or the bl with cooling and flatwire

I have a 1994 jeep grand cherokee and i am having a bit of trouble right now i have 1 Q15 pushin 1500w at 1 ohm and im wanting to throw in another 15 but i dont have the cubic feet i need cause of my spare tire and im not allowed to take it out cause of my parents and i cant find a rack or anything for it should i go with the 2 Q15s or go with 2 BL12's on 1500 watts a piece? Please help and my dimensions are 19h 28d 35w with my spare tire in Price is no factor right now Casey

hey scott or nick or anyone that knows.. when ordering a sub is it possible to have the terminals on the sub swapped out with ones that have a bigger hole to fit a larger gauge of wire? cuz i wanted to use 8 gauge on my Q but it wont fit on the sub

do you recone l7's?

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

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???

Sorry for the noobness of the question, but I really don't know???? Does it go on top of the rubber rim or inside the rubber rim against the metal frame that the surround attachs to?

i have 2 fi bl 12's running on a crescendo audio 3k and the fi's are getting real warm...not hot.....just real warm....and i was wondering if this was normal?? also would a crescendo 3k be over powering them?.... im hitting around 140 db. and it sounds great in a 5 cft box tuned at 32 hz...its just getting warm and it worries me...

headunit: alpine 9887 front speaker: jbl p650c sub woofer: FI btl 12 amp: 2 jbl bpx2200.1 1 jbl px300.4 power plant: 2 kinetik hc1800 here's the preview: these was made for competition purpose only so the wires were all expose it hit 150db on emma bass cd

If I have 4 BTL N218's with 2 amps with 3500rms will the amps blow the subs? Because the subs have 2000rms?

best options for SQ and i wanna hit some lows. the amp will be a SAZ-1000D dual 1 or dual 2? hyper pole yes or no? cooling yes or no? flatwind yes or no? daily of spl? universal yes or no?

I'm sure you've done it before, but I'll have a DD 3500 motor & basket soon, wondering if Fi would/could provide a recone kit?

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]

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

im doing an install in a 2000 expedition im going to use a MM1400D and a MM100.4, the budget is kinda tight since he wants to spend $1000 for everything. it's going to be for everyday use only and never see a mic. should i run 4 kicker cvr 10's or one 12" Q ported? and why?

do I have to worry about window damage with two 12" fi bls?

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…

well, its about time I get a new subwoofer, my 15s are completely worn to shit (bet you've never worn a driver so bad you can make the cone bounce by pushing it in) they sounded so good 10 years ago, I dont know what happened. anyways, so I've got 4 computers imma sell to get a fi, that means 400 to 500 dollars for a new setup. What should I go for that wont kill my price limit? (Please note, Shipping is a factor here, and I want an 18, so subtract 40$ from the total money for wood. yadayadayada) Thinking about maybe a Fi Q 18 fully loaded... but could I get a no-option BTL for under 500 shipped??? (best to put it here, you people know how much these drivers weigh, and if…

Hey guys wanting to buy the 12" N2 looks bad ass. Just need some help with the box. Could somebody please give me some complete specs for the reccomened size the box should be. I am going to get a friend to build it lol. Thanks guys for any help. Rock on guys

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

What I have now: 2006 toyota corrolla Cadence TXA1000D (1000rms @ 1 ohm) I have about 6.5ft^3 airspace before driver and port displacement I want one ported sub ( a 15" or prefferably an 18" if I have enough airspace after port and driver displacement) I'm undecided whether to go with SSD, Q, or BL with my airspace and power. This will be for a daily driver with an occasional trip to local competitions for fun, so a little on the SPL side. Any help would be greatly appreciated Beau

I placed an order for the Fi SP4 15 on 2-14-14 and the order status says awaiting fulfillment, not quite sure what that means but the money has been taken from my account and I cannot get ahold of Fi. I have emailed them multiple times with no response and the only phone number I have when I call it says it's an old Fi number the mailbox is full and to email the store. Any help is appreciated.
