General Fi

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?

Hey Fi Audio, I ordered the wrong subs. I wanted the SSD 12'' instead of the IB3 12'' can you guys please switch my order and let me know how to pay for it. Or just use the money i already paid and switch the subs and not worry about the 20$ i owe you . Alright just let me know what i need to do to switch out the orders. I really want the SSDs

I want a sub that can be wired for 1ohm I ordered dual 1ohm 15 q with bp did i mess up?

whut do u think would be better 2 btls or 4 bls on a RF t4000 in a ford explorer ?

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?

ok so i have a dual2 ohm btl hooked up with a 1 ohm load so for it to be stable how do i need to connect it to my aq2200d, bridged or what?

truck - 05 chevy colorado amp - sundown 3500d elec - 2 kinetik 2000hc's. big three. box - 4.5 cubic feet tuned @ 32 hz. two 12 bls' or two 12 btl's? looking for spl. but i also want musical daily driving. i know bl's are more musical and btl's are more loud but i wanna know if one has a significant amount of sq or spl compared to the other. example (not saying its true) : bl's and q's are not much of a difference sq wise, but bl's get very noticably louder.

ok i have 2 18" BL subs dual 1ohm flatwind cooling and pchamfer these are the first model bl's. they are going to see a sundown 1500 to each sub what is the smallest box ported that will be ok for these subs. i want to keep the box under the rear deck in a 1995 fleetwood. between the hinges, theres trunk rods in the way. i'll invert the subs to get a lil more airspace if i need to. just need to know whats the smallest the box can be and sound good

Just bought a second hand 18inch single slug motor btl. I would like to know if you can Visual Check the Specification on BTL series. This is question is for newbie like me. all i can say there is an allen bolt found in the bottom of the motor. also flashlight thru the peek holes seems i only viewed the top vc former and a round thingy blocking the view of vc windings. I know the featured tech is described. but am asking for the VISUAL appearances of every each features with and w/o. Much appreciated if its drawn on jpg or actual pics. Sub guts style. Please answer the following Questions. P Chamfer: - 
Cooling: - 
Flatwind: - 
HiXmCoil: - 
Inner Heat Sink:…

I ordered the wrong subs how do I cancel the order

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

Need two 18's and have 3500wrms per sub @ 1ohm. Whats my options ? Want to smash my face in, so clue me up please. Will be walled, 16cuft a/d tuned to 35hz. Or should I wait for the Supergauss subs ?

Howdy, I'm looking to pick up the fully loaded BTL 12 dual 1 ohms. Simple questions: What amps would you fine folks push it with? Typically I'd go with a pair of subs, but I'm not confident a ported enclosure would fit in the back of an 09 Challenger without swallowing up the entire trunk. Any suggestions?

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?

I've been waiting on a response for a while now... I got one back saying what was my zip replied and haven't heard anything back. Its about to get cold out so im in no rush, just would luv to go ahead and get these recones. As well as make sure i didnt get sent to the spam folder lol thanks

Hey I'm just wondering when you guys swithced from one big magnet to 4 pie shapped magnet like on the new RE XXX's? Is thier any increase in power handling, and is thier anything internaly diff with them? Can they be ran with another new BTL that has the old style single magnet? Heres some pics not my sub I seen it on another forum. I remember some subs having pie shapped wedges between the basket and motor was that the cooling before and you switched to this or was that just a spacer for more excursion because some times i seen them on them and some times i dont.

I have a Q series 12 that needs reconed and I new to doing this is there a way to send it in to fi or is this something I have to do at home?

I HAVE GOT A FI BL 18 THAT EVERYONE TELLS ME TO GET A BIGGER AMP FOR IT, IM RUNNING A KICKER KX 1200.1 THAT PUTS OUT ABOUT 1300 RMS. I THINK THE BL 18 IS ONLY 1000 RMS SO I DONT BELIEVE I WOULD NEED A BIGGER AMP WOULD I? THIS SUB HITS 143 ON TONES IS THAT GOOD NUMBERS FOR IT?

scott or nick have you read my emails? i already emailed you but no reply yet. i was asking about the recone, and email me the delivery invoice.

bought 2 BLs last year and they finally blew out, last night i ordered a recone kit for them, but i was curious is it possible to use a BTL con on the BL to handle more power??

Is this a good combo, I chose PDX because I currently have it, I also have a sound processor for it to adjust the bass because the pdx doesn't have one =/. I am getting rid of my 1243d Type X. Also it is going to be in the Type X box at 2.0 ft^3, 33-36hz, 1.82 net. Is that good?

I have a 3500d series DD motor, that needs a recone, the basket originally was a 4 spoke 15, but was damaged and tossed, i still have the black plastic spacer but only one of the screws to connect the basket. so possibilities of turning it in to an 18? and cost? 3 inch coil, int. leads, extra spider, new basket and screws.

First off Im gonna get either a BTL or Kicker, cant make up my mind. Either a Kicker SoloX 15(2) or Fi BTL 15(2), the kicker can handle 2500RMS @DVC 2 ohms and the BTL can handle 2000RMS @DVC 2 ohms.. So would the BTL 15 be able to handle 2500RMS or higher with the P Chamfer, Cooling, HiXmCoil, Daily, I Heat Ring, and not universal options? Also Im gonna try to put these in a lincoln LS, and I cant determine if I want BTL15s or BTL12s, which would you guys suggest? p.s. the amp I will probably be using is a SPL FX1-5500D with 2500RMS @ 2ohm, 3200RMS @ 1 ohm, is that a good idea or anyone got any other suggestions? Thanks a lot, an obvious newbie

So, I'm going to Vegas for a vacation from the 10th-18th Sept. Any chance for me to see the factory? Seriously.

I'm on the way home from CES so I figured I would post some pics of some cool stuff around the shop. I talked Scott into letting me take some pictures of the new 22" basket as well as new proprietary speaker measurement system utilizing a laser and some other cool stuff hanging out at the shop. Here's the measurement system: It is attached to a 400lb 4" thick solid piece of solid granite.
