General Fi

I have a tahoe and i was curious just to see what your opinions on my set up would be? I 'm looking to do 2 18'' ssd's, epicenter, my question is should i go with 2 old school punch 800's or a memphis mojo 2500? i'm looking to do 150-155 db

Meant to say single wall boxes but that just didn't happen i was too enthused at laughing about the basket making noise...even after all of that the sub still works.. Anyhow...keep your packaging. Don't send us this stuff back with a bunch of peanuts or anything in a single wall box and expect a 70 pound package to not be broken in 30 pieces.

hi i'm an old guy, got a fi q15 on an saz 1500d in my suv. my son wants to go to sound comps, so i figured on getting another saz1500d to stap and getting a btl for the weekends. don't need to win but want to at least be competitive enough to keep his interest and make it worth the effort so how much difference will the average user find between the old 2 slug btl and the new 1 slug ? and is the difference enough that i realy should be looking for a one slug. i get that they booth are going to be crazy but on the meter does it matter that much ? i've heard pepole say it wasn't worth upgrading but i don't own either yet . thanks

I plan on purchasing 2 12" Fi BTL's and I plan on having 2 Rockford T2500.1bd amps pushing each 12. Is that too much power for these subs. They are going to be daily subs and keep in mind that i will not be pushing them to the limits too see what they can handle...but I recieved a good deal on both. PLEASE HELP FELLOW BASSHEADS!!!

Ok i am gettin a 240sx do yall think a fi btl 15 or 18 wood blow out the windows of the car and if so what is a good kinda glass to get to keep that from happen

ok we hooked my friends BTL to a saz-3000 today and as we where playing different songs we heard it popping. is that because its too many watts for the sub?or is it just how its tuned. allso its at 1ohm what do you people recomend to leave it at 1ohm or up to 2ohms???

I blew my Fusion Powerplant 15" and now have a box and amp just sitting in my garage i want a new sub i can re-cone so which FI sub do i need, i have this amp: http://www.fusioncaraudio.com/north-and-south-america/car-audio-1/amplifiers-7/ppam300010-50-product.aspx 1300W at 2 ohm and 1500W at 1 ohm so which one does everyone recommend Thanks Patrick

I need to get more footage and create another video.. I was in a rush this time and everything that i filmed didn't come out very good but this reaction is pretty funny. Fi fans will enjoy!

Okay well I broke my sub (Fi BTL 15) in for about a week so I turned my amp up (Power Acoustik BAMF 4000/1D). It claims 2200 rms. When I turn the bass up high enough the sub will start making popping noises, I'm pretty sure my amp isn't going to bottom out a BTL so I figure my amps just giving a clipped signal. I checked my wires going to the amp none of them seem to be pinched anywhere. I'm running 8 gauge that I had to cram into the terminals on the sub. Do you think that is where my problem is that maybe the speaker wire is falling out of the terminals or messed up? I would look but taking my box out is quite the pain I don't wanna do it if I don't have too. My only ot…

Okay well i just made a pre-order on the sundown audio sae-1200 v.2 and wanted to hook it up to two 12 Fi Qs in my truck. From what i've read in some posts, I should order the dual 2 right? Or should i get the dual 1? Please help me out. Thank you.

Just bought a SSD 15 with copper coil. Had it for about 3 weeks before i was able to give it some real power. Originally i had it on about 250 watts, and it sounded very well for that. I was surprised really. So then i match it with a good partner, hifonics 1608d Hooked everything up and man did that sub slam. I gave it all of its 800rms and then some. And it still wanted MORE! Played very very nice, the more power i gave it up to its power handling the better the SQ got for me. I didn't completely turn up my amp but everything i threw at the SSD it took it with pleasure, it handled everything nicely and as much as i turned the gain up there was no distortion at all…

i just put my set of 15i bls in my focus' hatch and i just wanted to say that im beyond impressed. i replaced 4 12 w3s and its night and day. great products im very satisfied..thanks guys *]jl xr 6.5 components x2 sets [*]sundown 2000d [*]sundown 100.4 [*]jl tr 5.25 coaxials x2 sets [*]2 15 fi bls ..fully loaded [*]4 kinetik 800s [*]160 amp alt [*]2001 focus zx3

Hey Guys, i´m a newbie here, this is a thread that i´m starting for a friend who doesn´t speak any english, well, to the point. We are from Panama City, Panama; He doesn´t have a credit card so he asked me if i could buy him a pair of BL 15" and isaid yes, well, i contact Scott and he was very kind giving me the quotes and all stuff, when i was about to make the buying, this question got to my mind, Can i pay the subs with an international credit card that has a international billing adress??? i asked Scott on an email and he hasn´t answered and i need to buy these animals today because there´s a comp coming very soon and my friend doesn´t have any subs, so, what do you g…

I was originally looking at getting a SSD 18, but it seems like a lot of people have SSD 12s instead of the 18s. Is the 12 better or something ? I would assume that the 18 would get louder, and that is what im going for. Im not really entirely sound quality. I was also wondering if anyone had any good box specifications for a SSD 18.

CAN ONE OF THE MODERATORS PUT SAMPLES OF THE REST OF THE COLORS UP LIKE BRUSHED ALUMINUM, AND OTHERS UP BEFORE I BUY ONE I DONT LIKE PRECIATE IT

This is how it worked out... 28.6 pounds = 12" Q weight. 28.6 pounds = 12 972.7418 grams 15 grams per CD If you do the math you get 864.849453333333 = 865 CD’s. Tommy guessed 864 CD's... The next closest one was JakeTheSnake with 878 CDs Congrats to Tommy! Shoot me an email with your address and we'll get a sub built up for you how you want it. I've got a new game that i'm going to start in the next few weeks that I think all of you will enjoy.

OK so i have a few questions.... in my girls car i have a fosgate T1500-1Bd 1500 rms or so at 1ohm, so what sub should u get the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm? and how would it be wired? second setup is my car, i have a fosgate T2500-1bd and was wondering if i should get 2 subs rated at dual 2ohm or 2 subs at dual 1 ohm? thank you guys

Just need to know which port placement would be best

hi im going to be buying 2 of these beasts for my 79 gmc stepside. there going in the bed & ported of course because there is no way in hell there going to fit in the cab. im looking around for amps to power these subs and am wondering what rms @ what ohm to get. i need to know what ohms to purchase the 2 subs dual 1 or dual 2 and what kind of amp. i was thinking about audioque 2200d because fi says the 18's rms is 2000 watts. would two of these amps do the trick or should i look for something else? thanks

When will this be announced, it's been 2 days since it ended and still no results.

I searched for this but didn't see a topic about it......I'm looking at getting a BL12 or 15. Just not sure what ohm option to pick. I've got a Kicker 1000.1 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11553_Kicker+08ZX1000.1.html RMS is 1000 @ 2ohms Thanks!

I have 2 SSD 12"D2s, copper coils, wired in series for an 8 ohm load. I am using them in my house and have them wired as such to use with my Carver PM900 amp. The Carver amp is rated at 900 watts rms bridged and while bridged will not handle less than 8 ohms, hence the series wiring for the SSDs. THIS SETUP SOUNDS FANTASTIC, loud, clean, very tight. The Carver has a power limiting switch which I have enabled that prevents the amp from going into clipping so I am not concerned with that. The subs are in a sealed box with a partition between the drivers at about 1.5 cubes each. My question is with the subs/coils wired as such does that increase the power handling beyond the…

Been working with a lot of split coil stuff lately with SG3 (Supergauss 3 for those who don't know) and some Industrial applications..thought some of you would like to see some really big off the wall cool stuff that we do that you simply do not see anywhere else...The coil on the right is the original 4" XMX...the one on the left is a 3" coil that we are using for an industrial application. The quarter is in the picture for a size reference... Just another way we march to the beat of our own drum... Just another good Friday! Have a great weekend!

I'm ordering a Fi BTL 12 for my charger, and have been searching for which amp to get. Thoughts?
