    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

    I was just curious about the specs on the lineup,specificly the Q.Maybe its just the picture but the Q18 looks like it has a small mag.Whats the weight of the whole sub?whats the mag weight in oz?Im sure its designed for that application but the BTL is the only sub that looks proportionate.Dont get me wrong everything Fi does I like.My eyes have a hard time with big sub little mag.Hope this makes sense to everybody!

    I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils... they've sat in their original packaging for a while now, never used. I don't have the space for 15s, and want to go with 12s... and I've decided on the Qs now. Any way to trade in and add money for them?

  9. I ordered 4 Fi x12's for thier Black FiDay sale, that was eleven days ago. The order status still sez, "Your order is being processed, payment is being carried out by paypal". They debited my paypal account last week, the subs were premade, just wondering when they will update the shipping status. My fiance doesn't like ordering off the internet and she's freakin out like i'm gonna lose almost $300. I know this sites legit, I 'm just very anxious as I have all the stuff to hook up the new system besides the subs. If any of you Fi Guys can look into it for me that would be great. Thanks.

    I actually sent an e-mail to sales many days ago and didn't get a reply, but after looking at the forum today for the first time I saw the pinned topic regarding mail delays, so figured I would post here. Being out of car audio for a little while now, I decided to upgrade my setup. I was running a Cadence Z8000 (500WRMSx1) w/ two ID10v3's vented to spec @ 33hz. I replaced my Z8000 with a RF T5002, birth sheet measuring ~1100WRMS @2oh bridged (14.4VDC). I originally figured I'd get an IDMAX for this amp, but ran into a lot of hype on the Fi Q and I'm now almost convinced this is what I want. Assuming you're familiar with the ID/IDQ lines, what enclosure spec would you rec…

    I need some help deciding which sub would be my best choice based on my situation. I was originally set on buying 1 12" Fi Q and putting it in a sealed box but the more I read the more I see people choosing the Fi BL and using a ported box as it seems to get louder. I've talked myself into the BL over the Q but after looking at the cut sheets in the technical section I dont think I can comfortably fit the 12" BL ported box in my trunk without giving up a lot of it (Lexus is250), but I could fit the 10" BL ported box comfortably. So which would be a better choice? A 12" Fi Q or a 10" Fi BL? Also I'm not sure if I can post ebay links but wanted to get opinions on t…

  21. Ok, well...here this goes, hopefully yall can help. My current truck has 6 6x8's in it by RF, the power series. Gets loud. My new truck, on the other hand, is set up for some components. I will also be making a custom console to allow room for more speakers. What is a good brand that gets loud as hell and can stand up to the 15" BTL's I will be pushing. Also, what size speakers should I put in the custom console??

  25. I was planning on purchasing a fully loaded 15'' btl and wanted to know if I could get a couple suggestions on what amp I should purchase. I'm looking at the 2-Channel XXV Colossus (1 x 3200-Watts....Bridged Mono @ 2-Ohms)-$660.00 or the hifonics BXi 2006D (2000-Watt x 1 RMS @ 1-Ohm)-$314.00 or the memphis mojo 16-MC2000D (RMS Power 2 ohm (Watts) 2000 x 1 @13.8V)-$880.00 or the Sound Streem PCA3500D PICASSO ( 3500W x 1 @ 1 ohm)-$480.00. The reason I ask because I've only had experience with the memphis amp and was impressed but as you can see its alot more expensive then the other amps that put up similar numbers. So if anyone could help me decided which amp I should purc…
