General Fi

i was just wondering how long repairs will take cuz i have a bass comp to dominate in a few weeks..i sent my Q in for repair and requested a dust cap to be sent bk with the repaired sub for my other Q

I have a 12" FI "Q" running off of a JBL BP 1200.1 amp. The amp is suppose to run 1200 watts rms and I am running it correctly wire wise. Do you guys think it would perform better with a different amp setup? A friend of mine suggests a kicker amp. what do you guys think?

well, its about time I get a new subwoofer, my 15s are completely worn to shit (bet you've never worn a driver so bad you can make the cone bounce by pushing it in) they sounded so good 10 years ago, I dont know what happened. anyways, so I've got 4 computers imma sell to get a fi, that means 400 to 500 dollars for a new setup. What should I go for that wont kill my price limit? (Please note, Shipping is a factor here, and I want an 18, so subtract 40$ from the total money for wood. yadayadayada) Thinking about maybe a Fi Q 18 fully loaded... but could I get a no-option BTL for under 500 shipped??? (best to put it here, you people know how much these drivers weigh, and if…

So, i put a temp amp in with my BTL. I put a hifonics 1610 in and OMFG. No words can explain how happy i am with this sub woofer. I just cant imagine what it will is going to sound like with my t 30001bd on it, it is going to be just NASTY. I am going to hook up a t10001bd up to it tomorrow to hear what it sound likes with REAL clean power not Rockford poop. Just letting you guys know i am a verry satisfied customer.

I have had my BTL for less than 1 year and it is now dead. I had it powered by a zx2500.1and it is in a properly sized and tuned box.. NO bass boost, subsonic on, gain 1/2 way up. The spider is ripped a little bit but I can not see any other damage. IT does smell funny. I am a responsible user and did not abuse the sub whatsoever. I have been installing and using car audio for years,. Does Fi have some kind of warranty, Can I send it back for a recone? I would appreciate any input. THanks

I have a sae 1200 sundown amp, I need dual 2 for a 15 inch Q right? Also, Knu's 4 gauge is big enough, right?

i have a fi btl dvc 2 ohm and was wondering how can i wire it to get the lowest ohm load thnks

Okay I have a new(to me) car, a 2001 saturn ls200. I want to get a system going but my 1 15RE SX isn't quite cutting it. So, should I get 1 18 or 2 15's. Either way, I'm leaning toward elemental designs 15/18 or FI SSD or Q for 15/18. I know it'll be a bit biased here but please be as objective as possible Thanks

I'm ordering a Fi BL 12 and want to know when it asks if I want a hyper pole, or want it universal, what does that mean?

hey, i was looking through brands of speakers on the web and came across this "Fi" brand that I've never heard of and want to know more about. What makes this type of speaker so special and if it really is so amazing, why is the price so low? I'm interested in building a new system with 2 18's and can go in my daily driver and want to get the most bang for my buck, literally. If anyone has any insight, please let me know.

well got a BTL today. and when installing it i couldn't decide whether to take the logo off the bottom or leave it.. i left it.. should i take off the logo on the bottom of the magnet? i have the cooling option and the hixmcoil option. it didn't seem like sticker i should've taken off.. i just played it for like 5+ hours and it was fine. then i looked at some BTL pics and none have it that aren't already used.. only just unboxed ones have it.. should i take it off or what? thanks.

So my last car got totaled and I am tryign to put together a solid system in my new 07 grand prix. I am working on getting the following Pioneer Premier f90bt ( I know its not the latest model but they have 4.0 volt outs compared to the new Pioneer 910bt) Inifinity Perfects 6.1 Infinity Kappa 693.9 Rockford Fosgate Power 400-4 *(Already have from my old setup) Old School 2003 Rockford Fosgate 150.1bd Amp (1500 watts rms @ 2 ohms) Now I am new to this high end of stuff. What would be the best Fi sub to choose and how big should my box be. I want the sub to be more powerful then the amp so its near impossible to blow. Since the amp is rated 1500 watts RMS at 2 ohms a dual…

Hey guys my buddy has a Fi 15inch fully load btl sub dvc 1ohm and he was wondering: "does the btl have a universal motor option? Fully loaded yes, but i'm thinking of getting it reconed to a dual 2" i guess he wants to run it as a duel 2ohm! i guess he wants to run it down to 1ohm rather then .5 or 2ohm load for his amp! Let me know Kenneth

Need help finding a good reliable h/o alternator, I'm currently in Iraq. I drive a 2002 ford expedition with a stock alternator, and im getting 4 15" icons in a ported box either powered by a sundown 4500.1 or two sundown 2000d, So whats a good size alternator that i should get and what brand do yall recommend? Thanks!

I sold my bl 18's and both my sundown saz-1500ds and thought I was getting out of audio for a while. But, that didnt last long. I have plenty of room, 98 expedition. I want at least what i had, would like more. I pretty sure leaning to gettin 4 BL 18s this time and walling right behind front seats. i already deadened whole truck, got all wire still in truck. Would 2 Saz-2000d's be enough for 4 18s or 2 audioque 2200d's? I know thats only 1000-1100 watts per sub, but I really dont want to run 4 amps like 4 1500d's. If I could find 1 big amp that would be good for all 4 I will do that. Any suggestions or just go with 1 of the 2 amps above?

Car: 2000 Ford Explorer 4Door Current system: Apline CDE-102 HU Fi 18in BL 09 1500D Sundown all 1/0 gauge knu wire. 8cu ft box. sub facing roof/port facing hatch. Tuned to 32hz I must say that I am very pleased with FI and their product, I am just wanting my system to be maximizing its output. My first hing which I plan to improve is running big 3, I am NOT having dimming in my car and is it really needed if it does not effect the output of the sub. I was thinking of making a better designed box that has both the sub and port facing the rear. I was also thinking about putting dynamat in the trunk door of the car to help with rattle. Any more suggestions would be great or …

Would it sound ok to put an Fi SSD in a 1.00 cu.ft. enclosure with a port tuned to 35 hz?

i have a crown vic wonderin if this box will work to get full range for the sub and able to get 32hrz 3FTby 2FT3"by1ft7"? any help i would thank if this box will not work what do u recommend i have a few inches give or take all around?

Power is a hifonics XXV colossus soo naturally ill have to order the dual 2 ohm version of the sub which options should i get ? Would i be better off getting the getting a base line btl? this will be for daily bumpage

Well, first post here. I'm a long time member of caraudio.com/forums, but browse here frequently. So basically, I just bought a BTL off ca.com and want to know if it'll still be able to use it. It has a snapped tinsel lead and some holes burnt in the spider (see pics below). I was wondering if you guys think i'll be able to just replace the tinsel leads and use it like it is. I asked quite a few people over at ca.com about it, and most seemed to think I would be able to get away with just doing that. Obviously, i don't know much about recones/repairing subs. I already regret buying it...I'm on a super tight college budget and when I saw the cheap price I couldn't he…

My friend has two Alpine Type R's. After hearing me mention the fact that Fi makes recone kits for a coupla companies, he asked me to find out if you guys could recone his Type R's. -Thanks -Chris

I order a 15" ssd on june 20 I just like to know the status of the order. I understand that you guys are so busy . just like to know if possible when i'm getting it

I ordered 2 Fi Q 12"s on June 6th and was wondering if there was someone to contact about how much longer it will take. I am not complaining because I understand that each of these are custom made and take time but I was just wondering if its going to be more like a week from now or possibly longer..

Alright. We all know i am always proposing new ideas for my future car. But I think I have my heart set on this. Money isn't really a problem, I am applying at a few local shops, and i have plenty of time to come up with my budget. My rough estimate is around $4000. Here goes: 4 - 12" BTL's 2 - Sundown 4500D's 4 - Powermaster D3100's 1/2 - HO alt's (Brand TBD) 4 - TB 6½" Speakers - Front/Back 2 pairs - Pioneer TS-T15 Tweets - A/B/C Pillars 1 - Sax 100.4 1 - Audiocontrol Epicenter Box: 8^3ft @ 30hz ________________________________________________________________ My biggest concern at this point, even with a proper enclosure, will 4 BTL's be able to breathe? My goal is high…

I ordered a BL15 today with all the options and a green dust cap. I'm going to order 1/0 wire as mine are 4 gauge right now. I have a ZX1000.1 for the sub. I have a guy that's going to help with building a custom fiberglass ported box. I have a '05 Mercury Mariner. Other than the bigger power/ground wire to 1/0 should I add a battery in the back? The other amp for the front Focal components is a ZR240.
