General Fi

I'm not entirely familiar with Fi. What I've read however is that they are a high quality semi custom subwoofer. I've noticed the watt ratings are very high for each aside from the IB3. I realize the Q series will probably not fit behind my bench. I have a 2003 f150 regular cab. That leaves me with the SSD our the IB3. I will only push 600 rms to each so 1200 total. JL HD1200.1 The box will be custom made. I have close to 12.5" of room at the floor. One thing that is holding me back its the fact I'm reading allot of revive posts in the forum. Do these subwoofers experience problems or break frequently? Any input would be greatly appreciated and rewarded with fond 'nonsex…

Hi everyone, i just came across 2 fi Q's. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on an amp for them, its gotta be around 2000w rms @ 1 ohm. I found a Hifonics Hercules which is 2000W @ 1 ohm but i was wondering if there were any better choices.

I read th eoptions explanation for the SSD but i was wondering if the copper coil increases the thermal power handling of the SSD i know flatwind bumps it up to about 1200 but i was possibily thinking about 4 SSD's + copper running off of 4000 rms

I just took 1st in class two weeks in a row with one 12" BTL fully loaded doing a 142.2 coming out of the trunk of my car. I rebuilt my box to 45 Hz instead of 33 Hz and gained 1 DB I think that we are going to wall of my trunk to try and get another 3 to 5 DBs out of it. Is any one else going to world finals for USACI in Omaha Ne this year or will I have to be the only one that represents FI this year? Also let me know what you think about walling off a 300.

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

i was wondering how muc amplifierpower i would need and whatkind of amp to get?

Will 2 6" Aeros be enough or should i do 3? The external dimensions of the box are 48.5W x 20D x 16H. Looking to tune to around 33hz or so. Help me out here guys need to order the ports from PSP-INC pretty Soon.

I need to know how to go about getting some Fi stickers. I have posted a review on the Q and several other threads on the Fi Q. I know there was something about posting reviews and whatnot to get a free sticker and shirt if I remember correctly. I dont normally do the sticker thing but I have my first show coming up next month and I am going to "label" up for it.

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?

Hi, this is Logan from ecoustics. This is my FI BL 15" Dual 2ohm. It is powered by an Orion 2500D @ 1ohm. I have it in a 3.5cuft enclosure @36hz. This sub is by far the best I have ever had. It get way louder than my RE XXX 15" on the same amount of power. http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/5/330070.html

yep, another recone question. i have a pair of blown 12" eclipse ti's. i don't want them reconed to their previous specs, instead i want something different. maybe bl/btl like? what do you think? can it be done? how much? what can i expect as far as perfomance, both output and sq? thanks in advance fellows.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok guys...I'm getting really close to making some things happen and I wanted to know if 6 SSD 18's sealed in the Cargo area of my Tahoe would rock.......I thinking 2 cubes each? I probably need Nick or Shawn on this one. Each sub is gonna get 1200-1500 watts rms if that helps. I'm also gonna have 3 alts and 5 batts so electrical should be ok....Let me know what you think......GO FI AUDIO GO!!

There is a problem with my Q 12, and I need to send it back to Fi to work on it. I got an email from Nick that says: "The only thing I can think that may have happened is the coating that is on the top side of the cone body has delaminated. One out of every 1500 cones or so will run into this issue. Print this email off, place it in the box and send it in to us. When we get it back in I'll check it out or another tech will check it out and see what's going on." So do I not need a return authorization number? I just send the box with the email in it and that's it? Also, does it matter how I ship it? Is USPS fine?

is a 4000 watt pyle amp gonna put a huge load on my battery, i drive a 2004 f250 superduty im just wondering should i get a 6 cell optima and new alternator or what?

I would like to give a public Thank you to Scott and the staff at FI Car Audio. Once again they deliver excellent customer service. By this i mean, Scott taking time out of his schedule and calling his customers to give them a notice about their woofers! Thanks again FI. Keep up the great work, and continue making the best Woofers Money can buy! Austin Hart

Well, I went to a dbdrag today and competed in Bassrace. It was so damn hot outside! It was closing in on 120 degrees! Noone was metering... Just about everyone was down 2.5-3.5dbs. I was such a dumbass I played my subs when I got there and ended up having to go meter with drained batteries and my subs were pretty warm after demoing for like 30 minutes. My score sucked balls, only a 151.5 in bassrace. Oh well, it will be better when the conditions are better, and it might help a LITTLE when I know where my car peaks, and Im not playing some random song. Should also be louder when I play with my amps. My gains arent even 1/8 of the way up, the SSF is set to about 40-45hz (…

Just noticed they are up, but why no 18?

Hey Guys I have a 03 Yukon Denali that i would like to build a system for. I'm debating on whether four 15 BTL will be better ground pounder then two 18 BTL? I do know that power has one thing to do with it and i will be running two Sundown Audio SAZ-3500D, i will have a big 3, with 2 Alts, and 2-3 Powermaster 3100 and a smaller Powermaster up front. All the subs will be fully loaded, and as far as a box i will have Fisher Customs make a box or Pound that Sound. I am open for all suggesting's to change out any thing or add any thing. Thanks Guys...

Sorry in advance for what sounds like a book but i am not happy in the progress of the install....Here it is old school Eclipse competition cd player 3 sets of RE audio 6 1/2 components pushed by a US AMP md-43 4 channel....2 18in FI BTLS in a 6cuft box (ea) after displacement being pushed by 2 US AMPS md-3d rated at 2000rms @ 1ohm @14.4volts....I also have a 300amp alt big 3 done 5 optima batteries (looking to get XS POWER) and all 0 gauge wire.....Stinger volt meter that is ran to the sub at is ranging 14.7 to 14.0 (i know voltage drop isnt good im getting another 300 amp alt soon) It is loud and hits pretty hard (broke weld in tailgate that holds the handle so kno…

hey this is for scott, I don't know if you've been getting my emails or not, so I figured since it's been a while I'd just post here. If you didn't get my emails lmk. I talked to Tim Roy of sound xtreme and he said he can recone them. so if you're too busy just lmk, and I'll have the one you have shipped to him or the guy who paid me for it. feel free to email me if you'd like to pm call whatever... Thanks, Tom

i have 2 x15inch fi btl on a Lanzar OPTI 6000D, do you guys think im under powering them??? they knock, but i fell like everything i throw at them, they handle with ease, so im thinking of getting a additional Lanzar OPTI 6000D to pound extra hard.... lets me know what you guys suggest?? or should i go with different amps?? Just a thought.

What happend to FI apparel?

can FI recone a kove audio armageddon 12 inch sub? looks like kove is no more and a buddy has some blown subs layin around. scott ill probably send u an email and/or PM also.

I ordered a sub With the SPL Option. Someone told me that you could play the sub really loud for short periods of time and it wasnt for just driving around with it loud. But i am now finding out that it isnt like that at all i was wondering if anyone could help explain too me what SPL is.?
