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?

Although not done yet, it is installed and I've had a coupld PM's from people asking to see pics of install, so here it is. not really a build log, sorry shoulda taken more pics of me and my friend beating on the trunk floor with a tire arm to get the box to fit. also have a crappy quality vid up on youtube, it was done with cell phone but at least shows some of the flexing power LOL click on the guy who made the comment, then click on his vid on his facebook or myspace or w/e very funny

hey everyone. I currently have a 1 15" BL, but im getting a new car in a bit, so im looking at getting 2 12" ssd. I had a debate between SSD or the HDC. I know a big!! difference but im running them off a aq1200d that i have now so i figured i wont be upgrading power in a while. And if i got a aq2200d do you think i would be safe with the 2 12" ssds still ? Im guessing the ssd would move more than hdc with only 600 rms on each? Do you think the 2 12" ssd will be louder than the 15 BL because of cone area? thnx guys, sorry if they are stupid questions lol

I am getting an enclosure built this coming friday. I was wondering what the optimal enclosure size would be. I want it tuned to 32hz after displacement. Should it be double baffled on the face? I plan on going with a hatchback style box (sub up port back toward trunk). I was offered the option of "milkshaking" the box (resin mixture inside to seal better), it is 50 dollars more for that, so I figure I don't really need it. The Sub: Fi Bl 15" Fully Loaded. Amp: saz 1500d. my trunk measures: 15hx33dx36w I measured height from the trunk bars, so if it can fit between it would be roughly 3-4 inches higher.

Really want an Fi hoodie but am always skeptical about buying clothes I can't try on first. Anybody know if the Fi hoodies run on the small or large side? Not sure whether to order a M or L...

you know the one who is from a little place called the UK, who goes and does the fourth loudest score in the world in street max at the worlds ooh yeah, that'd be me top service from scott and am from blade ice in the UK fantastic subs that sung off my four atomic d5000.1 amps and hit 164.1 several times at the french regional

how come the shipping is so high for stickers?

I just wanted to say that I am amazed by your subs. I haven't cranked it up in a while, but I did yesterday, and was bewildered again. I was at Circuit city yesterday, and all of the guys who work there showed me their equipment. Kicker, MTX. A customer had a JL W712 on an alpine 1000. They sounded ok, but my bros bl 12 just kills the JL spl wise, as well as another guys 2 kicker comp 12s. The lows the the BL are just nasty- sounding strong and authoritative. I have 2 18" BTLs w/ 2 memphis 4ks, and I noticed on strong hits I'll hold 12v at the front, but at the amps I was droppping in the 8-9v range. I have 3 batts (2 yellowtops and a starter) and 1 run of 1/0. Well Circ…

Hello, I'm inquiring on the current status for the Q12 and I ordered on 03/09. I need to know the status/ETA because I'm moving at the end of next week. Please let me know what's going on. Steven

Whats with people always bashin on sealed boxes, when subs like SSDs and RE SEs do so well in them for daily pounders? Its seems people are so narrow minded and think the ONLY thing that is important about the box that if its ported or not. These people need to hear some loud sealed groundpounders!

My pre-09 SSD motors have "custom sealed" written on the top of the motor. Does this mean they have the high qts option? They are also copper coils. Any input?

I was wondering what happened to Sean from FI. I placed my order with him a little over 2 weeks ago(supposedly straight through him on what he told me was his personal cell phone number) anyways i've been calling him just about everyday since because I wanted to change the color of the logo on the dustcaps but I am unable to get a hold of him. Also he hasnt even taken the money out of my bank account for the order yet. I'm local to them so I was told I would be able to pick them up(really doesnt have anything to o with my issue)but he doesnt answer any of my calls. Can anybody on here get a hold of him and let him know that I want to change my dustcap color for me? If not…

Ive been in contact with FI and they barely respond to me. I shipped my sub to them 2 months ago and i have confirmation that it was received and signed for by them from UPS. They said they never received it and were questioning me if i sent it. the address is correct btw. They lost my package and have not contacted me back about it after emailing them.... IF....i get my subwoofer back fixed, i wont be doing business with them again....ssa only for now on. Thought id share this with everyone incase this has happened before, or maybe an FI employee might see this and email me.....

hey guys.. new to the site, and ive been out of car aurdio for about 10-15 years... im from the days of orion amps on strokers LOL i have a 63 impala and im going to build a box or get one built for the area in the trunk under the package tray.. its very important to me that you cannot see the sub itself, or the amp the area i have to work with is about 10.5"tall x 26" x 26" give or take, im gonna get better measurements today in the interest of $$$ and all, i want to atleast use the amp i have now to get started... its in my daily now cause i got bored and a friend gave me his old 12" cvrs in a kicker ported box for $50 LOL.. its a old school MTX thunder 2150x .. it pu…

Props to FI,as i said we are getting ready for a 3x dbdrag in Pa. so i slapped a box together to give me a starting point,lol,,and i didnt expect much out of it because we hadent tuned the encloser in yet as to my suprise it burped a 148.3 in the zx3...enough said i couldnt ask for a better starting point...i think if i can stabalize my voltage and build a few more boxes i should be able to run into the 50s.

Got my new BL 15 today, its so pretty I wish i had the box already built so I could just install it and hear it.

i been looking at this forum for a while know and i see a lot of people asking to get a recone. is it users fault or is their something wrong with the series of sub?. most people say this about the Btl im

Just wanted to say thanks to those who have already been on the website and placed orders for the X's.. For everybody else that hasn't...the website is live and has the new X series up. We're doing 10's, 12's, and 15's in Single 2 and Single 4ohm coils...check it out! https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154c4729770dde1/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0045_X/product_overview.shopscript

so how do i go about getting a small window sticker logo thing? apparenly they send with the subs but they must of ran out when they got to my Q15 thanks..

Simple question: Did the first generation Fi speakers (specifically the Q model) have sewn in leads?

Ok so i have a 2002 chrysler 300m. i want to get one 15" BL but i dont kno what kinda electrical upgrades i will need. i dont have alotta money to be jus spending so if i dont need somethin i rather not get it. so what do i need to get and i want to get a MB Quart DSC 2000.1D. i need to kno how much each will cost so if u cud help me with all this, itd be great. Thank u so much.

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!

Well to make it easier and shorter let me just paste the link so you can see what the problem is....: http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/354626.html And since im on this forum now, my other 18" has never been able to go to 1 ohm load. I am hooking it up correctly it just doesnt even turn on when i try to parellel it. What could be the problem?? Thanks, Thomas
