General Fi

i remember there being talk a while ago, about some 22" BTLs and i think the BLs too. are those still coming soon or are they out of the picture now? i havent heard anything about them in a long while...

Whats the major diff between a 15" FI BTL and a 15" Ascendant Audio Mayhem? Features and Nitche market.... I mean, I thought I read that the same guys designed and build both.... Both look pretty sweet... I would not mind owning either... Just real quick as I'm at work, was crusing the net on break but the biggest difference I saw besides cosmetics was the Mayhem has Silver 8AWG Push terminals 2500W RMS vs the BTL Did not see anything about the terminals listed on the site for the BTLs 2000w RMA Looking at all the Parameters most of the specs seem pretty close... within a digt or two... I'm sure there are others, but thats all I saw in the time I had.... Just curious …

Last month I asked for advice on what subwoofers to get for my Yukon. FI suggested SSDs with copper coil. I was going to order these asap but my wife asked if i could wait till after Christmas. I was all butthurt for a day or two but I agreed. Yesterday morning I get out of bed and two huge boxes are sitting under the tree that we not there the night before. You guessed it the wife found a way to order them ( yes she even got the options right) with out me having a clue. The subs look great thanks FI. Lance Alexander

Hi, I emailed sales of ficaraudio because I wanted to order 2 18" Fi btl (fully loaded) but seems no one is replying to my email. Can you pm me the contact/email of Scott of FI? Thanks, Cj

Hey guys, new to the forums here. I want to place an order for a sub (18" BTL) but the dilema is that I live down under in australia.... I have already emailed FI and got details on the shipping, which they actually do ship out here WHICH IS GREAT!, thank you FI!, and the cost for shipping the beast of a sub is $281 >_> which is cool by me cos its worth it to get the sub lol, so I emailed them again asking whats the best way to do this, but havent recieved a reply,, are they really busy or something because of the holiday season?. and their email is always full and have to send it to orders@... instead of sales@... so yeh thats pretty much it, thanks guys.

hi i ordered a fully loaded 15"btl on november 28th and i have tried to email both scott and fi sales with no reponse from either of them i was just wonder when an approximate shipping date would be i know there was a 30 day lead time

I heard that the price on the site is +shipping. So how much did you guys pay for shipping (12" if the size matters)? Georgia in case that matters. Thanks. blake

Thanks to everyone at Fi Car Audio. So much for 3-7 days lead time...Ordered Saturday and was shipped Mon or Tues. Decided to go back from the Aq Hdc315 to the new 09 Bl 15. It's great to have the Fi SQ back. And god does it just absolutely slam and hit the notes with absolute accuracy. Especially, during rock double bass. Ive seen little about the 09 BL so I thought I would post my thoughts and pics. This is my 3rd Fi sub and every time, I am happy about the money and time spent. Can't wait to put more time and it and see how she does after break in. Sincerely, Mike Giessen Mike Giessen Racing inc.

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 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!

Here is my install of 4 Fi X12's. Not any pics ome building the box, I was kinda in a hury but I have the finished product. Installed in a 1990 GMC Sierra ext cab long box, KnuKonseptz 1/0 gauge wire from batt to dis block, 4 gauge from dis block to amp. All 8 gauge inside sub box (I know, it's over kill.), Box is 8.2 cu ft after all displacements, port is 6.5"x16.5"x19.5" deep, tuned to 33 hertz. I will be installing Pioneer 6x9's and a Kenwood amp that I have. The head unit is Kenwwod. The amp is Power Acoustiks "4000.1". All stock speakers for now.

So i have had my btl for a while now and am very pleazed with it. I had a few questions though. 1) i currently have a saz 1500 d sundown to it and was wondering if i got a bigger amp (of course another sundown) if it would really be any difference. 2)what is the best way to tell the subsonic filter is set at because i think its around 34 hertz but i am conserned because of what i read about poorly set sub filters. thanks for the help

I noticed my sub isnt working at all. I thought there was a problem with my amp, or maybe the speaker wire came off inside the box. So as i checked all the aforementioned things, i pressed down on the cone and got a little burp of bass, but nothing else constant. Did i blow my sub? Is there any way to determine whats wrong? Any solution as to fix it?

Im asking this question on here because i cant seem to get fi to email me back, but im wondering before i order, is a 7 cube ported box too small for 2 btl 15s? if not, what HZ would it need to be tuned to?. i figured it might be a bit small so ill probably have to get 12's but i have never played with these subs..thanks

I ordered subs at the begenning of the week for my son. I was wondering if there was a timetable for these to be completed? No rush, just wondering if they would be in for Christmas? I checked their website for my order status, but it just said they were getting the payment from paypal? if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it!

I had a RE HC rebuilt by Scott awhile back and when he did it, he did provide me with break in t/s parameters. If I provide the parameters could you give me a recone kit to match?

Whats good guys just found this board and decided to join. At any rate, been thinking of upgrading subs to FI but not sure which ones. I currently have 2 RF p2's powered by a RF P500.2 with a cap and am pretty happy with it but i want more. I found FI and have heard nothing but good things. Keep in mind i have a Chevy SIlverado with a sealed box under my rear seats. What FI subs could i use with this box or would u guys recomend another box? Really looking into the BL's but not sure what will fit and such. Any help will be appreciated

I could get a saz-2000d right now for my 18'' BTL fully loaded Should i take the 2k or wait maybe for a 3 or 3.5k one. Would there be a big difference? Thanks

I Have looked on the Fi site and will be using 2 12" BL in a corvette run by a kicker zx2500.1. I was wondering if anyone has put them in a sealed box. I know there are no specs because it is not reccommended, but would it hurt the sub to be in a fiberglass enclosure with the correct airspace?

I ordered 4 Fi x12's for thier Black FiDay sale, that was eleven days ago. The order status still sez, "Your order is being processed, payment is being carried out by paypal". They debited my paypal account last week, the subs were premade, just wondering when they will update the shipping status. My fiance doesn't like ordering off the internet and she's freakin out like i'm gonna lose almost $300. I know this sites legit, I 'm just very anxious as I have all the stuff to hook up the new system besides the subs. If any of you Fi Guys can look into it for me that would be great. Thanks.

hey guys so this will be my first box build. I have 18in fibl dual 1ohm with a jbl gto 1200.1 watts 1114 watts rms at 2ohm. my max demsions are 37L by 20W by 15 Depth. Im using Re enclourse calculater. But i want to know whats a good port area size and port width and any other factors that i should be looking for liiek what it should be tuned at. I want it to sound loud, hit lows, and have good air flow. If you guys could help id appreciate it

Hey so i recently ordered an Fi BL 18in dual 2ohm. And i made a huge mistake. I treid to contact Fi at [email protected] to see if theres anychance for them if they hadnt start building the subwoofer if they can change it from dual 2ohm to dual 1 ohm. if any of the Fi car audio workers see this plz help to see if i can get that changed

I have been a fan of Fi for a while now and want to put a system in my 07 corvette. I will have enough room in the hatch for 2 12" subs but I am unsure of which ones to buy. I will listen to hip-hop and rap music. I will dynamat the entire car also before the install. I want the bass to be louder than piss, yet still maintain the highest level of cleanliness. I dont like bass that gets distorted when it is turned up. Which would be the best sub to go with? I guess this could also mean, if i get the BTLs can they be tuned to be super clear and very responsive. I will never put this in a competition unless its in a parking lot with a buddy and a couple friends watchi…

Got a BTL 18'' and not sure where to make it face. Should i make it face the roof or make it face the back?

I currently have a 12" L7 kicker DVC 4ohm With a 3.75^ 3.0cubic feet at 35hz enclosure. Im loooking into getting a subwoofe that has good sound quality that can possibly get loud and sound clean. The amp ihave is a kicker mono amp 08 ZX 750.1. It is 2ohm stable. Accoriding to its birth sheet if i can remember correctly, it was putting out 823 rms watts I was looking into the 12" JL audio W6 v2. BUT I was looking at the 12" Fi Q So i was leaning towards it... My car is daily driven and im not sure about the options for the Fi Q sub. I am a noob to this car audio stuff and dont really know what is what. Since i am looking for SQ i dont know wether i should go sealed or por…
