General Fi

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.

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 …

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

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?

Ladies/Gents, We're looking at a 3 week wait currently with the BTL's. I've had numerous emails of people asking "Where is my BTL" and somehow they missed the flashing red letters on the website that says "Current lead time as of x/x/xx is 3 weeks" So..here's a picture. This means that it will be 3 weeks before we get magnets in. Then additional build/ship time for your speakers. If you order now, you get free cooling and a T-shirt with your order for being patient and waiting. Thanks! Nick

Hey guys, Just wanted to say thank you before I start all this out. I have been looking for a good subwoofer now for a few weeks and came to Fi's website and started looking at posts / subs. These seem to be one of the top subs out there for the price. Anyway, just a quick reason for why I am here. My sister died in a car accident about two and a half weeks ago (May 15th) and in her name I would like to build a competition / everyday car. Now I am not saying this for pity or anything like it. I am just trying to start off the reason why I am here. She loved car audio, I was not into it that much. But I would like to get into it. Simply put, I know almost nothing about su…

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?

Ok I have a 12" Fi Q and love it! So I was wondering if someone could point me to examples of full range or almost full range 6.5 round drivers for the back seats in the doors. Right now I have full range Pioneer drivers, but was wondering if getting something like AAs Poly Driver would improve the quality of the sound, or should I not bother. Somehow Fi is related to Ascendant Audio, not sure how though.. Thanks. Mike

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

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..

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

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 am currently beginning an installation for my 2002 Ranger super cab. I will be running two BTL 12's in this install. I would like some opinions on this setup. Some people may think im crazy for putting this into a small space. But I live by the rule get loud or go home. Let me know what you all think about how this will turn out and how hard it will be hitting.

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.

Hi All, Just goined up and i would like to buy 2 fi btl 18" subs, will FI ship me 2 to the UK, and how much would shipping be please. I have emaild FI but got email back that "experiencing VERY high email volume and are somewhat delayed in our responses" so they must be busy Looking forward for a repply. ATB P.

Ive sent a couple of E-mails to Nick but have not gotten any updates yet. I ordered a recone on June 17th for a 15" BTL triple stack magnets D1 with white dustcap lettering My name is Matt and my email is [email protected] and my tracking is 1ZX7497Y0343439336 I am getting rather frustrated considering the BTL is sold and I am just waiting on the recone so I can recone it and get it shipped to the buyer. I understand Fi is a busy company hand building there subs. I just want a little update

I am about to purchase 2 18" Fi BTL subwoofers(dual 2 ohm).. I already own 2 t40001d Rockford Amps. I am installing this in a 96 cadillac fleetwood, the car is currently runiing a 2 300 amp altenator and 5 total yellow top batteries.. The questions I have are: ---Will these amps be enough for the subs? ---What would be the best box size? ---And what would be the best to tune the port too? ---And is there anything else I should get that anyone can think I will need?

Hi there i have an 18" BTL the older style one with the tripple magnet and while taking out the whole system so i could design a new box i pulled out the sub from the old box and spotted that the spider on the btl was ripped in about 2-3 places 1 of them being a noticeable rip and the other 2 look like there about to rip and also i found out that where the spider is glued to the cone the spider was coming unglued in a few places. I wanted to know does this mean that i need a re-cone or is it salvageable, pictures are below, the pictures below are of the major rip one Thanks

I am going to be purchasing a 15 Fi Q, and powering it with a Sundown Audio SAE-1200D. I wanted to ask what ohm sub I should order and if the BP option is a good choice. The amp does 1200x1 @ 1 ohm. i was going to build a 2.5ft sealed enclosure, suggestions? im rollin a 94 s10 blazer. thanks homies.

hey guys i was just wondering who i can contact about switching my order from a 15" to the 18" btl and paying the difference i email nick but no response he is probably busy! was wondering if i could contact someone else i wanna change it before its to late!! thanks a lot guys!

Ok quick comparison. I need to buy an alternator very soon and here's probably the best ones i've found so far. http://powerbastards.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Fitzall%2D220 I think this is a ledgit site and product, input? I think this one needs to be custom mounted which will a pain in the balls and will cost a good amount to do. or there's this one that after looking at my current alternator looks to be one that will fit without fabrication... http://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/hiampalrefor.html Any one with a maxima also? Between the two which should I go with? I am going to be running a SAZ-2000D in a '03 Nissan Maxima 3.5L...ummm 15" BTL...no other electrical up…

I have a 99 navigator that I just got and am getting ready to put a system in. I am strongly considering the FI BTL 18" sub and would like to get a fosgate t40001bd amp. However, the price increased from last time i looked so the t20001bd is probably in my price range moreso then the t40001bd. I will be getting the sub fully loaded and am fairly unexperienced with high quality subs and amps. My first question is how does a single 18 sound and should I go with dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm coils. Will the t20001bd (2000 watts rms @ 1 ohm) be enough to power this sub and make it hit the way it should, or should i go with a different brand of amp ($700 budget)? Finally, would I n…
