    I was just curious as to why it takes so long. Ive been waiting 6 weeks so far on one, email, 4 weeks on another, and 3 weeks on my last email. I've been trying to get information before I place my order but I'm pretty reluctant to order now with NO customer service. Is there no phone number?

    I now have my 2nd 18inch fully loaded btl, This time am planing to build it for my large home theater room setup powered by a home DIY amp that can produce 2.5kwrms. in our country we use 220vac. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u72/pilyo168/schematics/5000W_power_amplifier.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------- As for car design. From Fi tech recommends: Fi 
BTL 18 – Ported box we recommend using 5-8 cubic feet @ 30-35Hz tuning, you can tune a little higher if you wish but we recommend keeping it close to 32hz for a daily driver. Again the same 12-16 square inches of area applies per cubic foot of volume. ---------------------------------…

    Are they really backed up right now, If I order today when should I get my subs? I'm looking to get 2-12" Q's , just wondering if it takes a long time to get the subs. And Would 2 RF 1500-1's be good on these subs for a daily driver. Want subs to sound good on a variety of music (rock, rap, some country,metal ). Would get the 2 ohm version so I could strap amps together at 2 ohms.

    Sup guys Given i have limited space in my ride i was wondering which of these boxes would be loudest: ported 5.3cuft after displacements @ 31hz or sealed 6.88cuft after sub displacement I could tear out the backseats which would give me plenty room to make huge boxes (16cuft) but im not really eager to do so. But i will if there's no real option. Im also just wondering if this will be louder/lower than my previous setup : 2 12" RF Punch HX2's ~ 4.3cuft @ 33hz PS. This is on a 1000wrms

    The reason why i ask is i currently have 4 RE SE 15" running off of a T40001bd,, they sound great but im only hitting a 148.3 with them so since i want to brake into the 150's I want to get a second T40001bd and some stronger subs,, thing is i like the way these SE's sound so Im trying to get something strong but that can sound atleast as nice as these SE's..

    Looking for some dimensions for a 15Q. It will be powered by a sundown saz-1000d. Its going into a 2008 scion xb. I would say I have about 2'x2'x4' area to work with. According to specs it should be 2-2.5 cubic feet. So probably stay around the 2.5 to account for displacement. I know you guys are miracle workers. I tried to remember to put as much info as possible I know people leave stuff out all the time.

    so i was talkin to one of my buddies that sells car audio in a retail store, and when i told him i got a FI BL he goes so did you get it at the shop in rockford? (rockford, IL). and i go no... i bought it factory direct, the only way you can buy it new. and he said o well theres a shop in rockford that sells Fi. so either hes misinformed or someones buying factory direct then sellin it for a lil more. if this shop is actually doing this, is that illegal?

    Title says it all...I have a Crunch GP3000D and would love to move up to an 18" Fully Loaded BTL but I'm concerned it may not be able to handle the power...box is still up in the air, I have MORE than enough space to work with (almost 9 cubes) Right now the electrical is a 235A DC Power alt, big 3, and yellowtop under the hood. So before I proceed with any plans, with an 18" Fully loaded take 3kw daily without problems?

    Just got the BTL fully loaded 18" in. it's in a transmission line box in the back of my envoy XL. taking up all my trunk space along with the removal of the third row. being powered with Audio Que's 2200D amp. was wondering what comps i should be looking at for my doors and im putting a row of 6x9's facing forward behind the headrests of the second row on top of the box for some extra midbass. was wondering if anyone could give me a hand? not looking to spend over 300 for each set of comps and ill drop probably around the same for the 6x9 pairs. i've been looking at the kappa perfect 6.1's by infinity and audioque's component sets. thanks for the help. -d.kish

    i have an original style (stamped basket) AA assasin 8 that needs a recone. would it be possible to: - get the newer style 12 spoke basket (8") - recone the sub to D2 or D4 instead of Single 4 - add another spider or something to stiffen it up a bit. if these things are possible, or if they aren't, but you can do a straight recone, how much will it cost?
