General Fi

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

Ok guys, looks like we lost a lot of the information we had, I will work and get all of the enclosure information back up, explaining the options and everything else that we previously had. I apologize for any inconvience this may cause you. Feel free to post questions and register for the forum if your account has been lost. Once again i'm sorry this happened, but it did and we need to build this place back up to what it once was! Thanks! -Nick

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

Can you make them? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

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

Hey guys, I had sent an email awhile back concerning a recone kit for a 12" RE SX (D2) - I'd seen that you had been able to send kits out earlier, and was wondering if you can still do it (and if so, at what price?)... Preferably with that sexy new dustcap I saw while browsing the forum (the one that looks like the original SX cap, but with a Fi logo!). I live up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Thanks, Ryan

I'm buying 2 BTL 15's today and I just want to know what this option is? And what its purpose is. Thanks

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

Hey, I am new to the forums and car audio and general and have a couple of questions. Firstly I have a budget of about $1000.00 for a sub/amp/amp kit/box. I am planing to pick up either a Fi Audio BL12 or the Q12. I am planning to on matching either sub with the US Amps XT-2000D http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=5309 Anywho, I listen to rap and house, and I just want an upgrade for my daily driving. I understand the Q has superior SQ, and the BL has superior SPL. Which sub would be ideal for my listening needs?? Also theres alot of mods you can have with the Q and BL that I don't understand that I would greatly appreciate some clarity on... For the…

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 can't get a stright answer. I am tried of getting different stories every time regarding replacing my RE subs. I was told by David, formerly at RE audio, that in June all productions of US assembled products stopped and that the factory shut down. All, Re audio products are now made in China and even sub assembly of SX and MT in the USA has stopped. I have been tiring to see what is going on with my subs. One day, I talk to someone, the next day they are gone and some else says they will help, now a girl that has no ideas what is up, is making things worse. I called a few of the shops listed on the RE audio web site but manny no longer carry the brand. One shop says th…

I've had a lot of people here recently ask what BP power was...so I figured hey...might as well show some pictures right?

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..

So I got there to find out my alternator is dying, and won't keep more than 13.9v at idle. It was a great first show, I did bass race and truck/suv 1501+. I got 149.9 in bass race and took first place. I got 2nd place in truck/suv to todd hardwick (but he has a wall in his truck made just for spl, I have a daily setup. First run was 150.6@44hz, but I thought I peaked a little lower. Next run I tried lower- and got a 150.8@ 35hz. My alternator wouldn't allow for more than the initial burp, so I know redoing my electrical system will do a lot. Either way, a few people were fairly impressed with Fi. 1st place bass race and 2nd spl trophies: A vid of a hair trick, crappy cam…

I sent you an email but waiting for a response. dominick420123 at hotmail.com Let me know thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums here; first post. Let's see, I have a 1986 Camaro Iroc. I'm building a box to fit in the well of the hatch(if anyone is familiar with these cars). I do not think I have room for a ported box, the design for the box yields a little over two cubic feet. So basically I just need help on what subs to buy. I've heard, and it seems like, that Fi is a quality brand so I'm pretty sure I want to go with them. Anyway, I'm looking between two SSD12s or one Q15. I have had two DB Crossfire 10s before and one 15" solobaric Kicker L5 in my car before. When I bought this car I had to get rid of the Kicker in order to be able to store the t tops. The K…

Ok, so after talking to others, it has come down to these two. I want to compete, probably only ever gonna be local comps. I know i prob will not beat my friends ranger (a wall with RE 18's, cant SX's I think) but I wanna beat these guys the say Kicker are the best subs ever created. At the moment I have a RF4000.1 sitting around I got from a shop that closed down for pretty much nothing. I am doing a blow through in an 08 Ford F-150 FX2. Here is my tough decision. I can run this one amp and push 4 12" BL's or I can get 2 15" BTL's when the new models come out, and when money is good, do even more electrical upgrades and get a 2nd RF4000 for and seperate one RF4000 …

I've been waiting forever to hear back from PSI with an invoice for a recone and I'm starting to lean toward just buying one straight from Fi. I have a 12" UFO BTL that has been reconed once already. Is the Xmax coil option an option that you can add regardless, or do you have to originally have an Xmax coil to get it? I'm not sure what the sub has/had. I just don't want to order a recone and it not work.

This is my basic wiring diagram for my pair of D2 10" Q's. I have a dual chamber box w/t .60 cuft in each chamber. Since the terminals are on the left and right side of the subs and I have to connect the subs in both chambers (run wires thru commom middle wall and seal with silicone).............I was wondering is it OK to let the wires just hang free in the box or maybe secure them so they don't just flop around???? I noticed there are little tabs on the baskets, both on the top and bottom. Would it be alright to zip strip the +/- DVC connecting wire that will go over the top of the subs basket to that tab? Or should I just let it free hang?????? Just want to do it righ…

So I've emailed all three emails at Fi, and I can't message Nick so hoping to get a response here. I know I'm a broken record about this but ... I was reading some of your production process. It said the day after the order I should have gotten a UPS Tracking number. I ordered my recone march 5th. I emailed [email protected] a couple times after the initial time I was told of 12 to 15 business, being as its now April 1st, and I have got no tracking number, no email replies, and no recone. It was an AA Havoc 15 d2 to Mathew Gardewine. Wondering if I could get an update. Thanks, Mat

i just recently bought a bl 12 dual 2ohm with cooling added, and was wondering what the actual rms handling is? i've seen plenty of videos and read plenty of posts making the 1000wrms handling very unbelievable. it seems to me they can handle MUCH more, even without the cooling option added.

Can someone tell me what flatwind coil, BP power and QTS Thanks in advance! Hope to be buying a 12" soon

Hi i will be buying 2 fully loaded bl 15's and i have a 2001 blazer extreme i plan on making the box around 8 cubic feet and about 32 hertz and a 200 amp alternator with 0 guage wire and i was wondering which amp to go with ehtier 2 of the Hifonics BXi 2008D or 1 Pioneer Premier PRS-D2000SPL so if some one could help me out or tell me which amp would go good. my price range for amps is about 400 to about 800 max so i would greatly apperiate it if some one could help me out thanks

First post go easy -just kidding you can be brutal if needed. I have been curious as to the Fi product and have always wanted to hear and see 3 12's across the rear seat opening of my mazda 3 06 there is enough room and the boxes are built. you build it they will come. I am not happy with my box size but well in range at 1.1 ish after displacement each, there are 3 seperate boxes it was the only way to get in. I may redo the boxes to achive more like 1.3-1.4 after displacement but unsure as of now. each sub will have a 1000 watt amp on each. i plan on crossing over the middle sub at 80hz range and the 2 outer subs at a lower hz to be determined maybe around 40-50 hz to c…
