General Fi

Got metered at 143 even on lil jon throw it up with a fi Q 15

Here are a few pics of my somewhat recent install and my brand new tint. I got a 15" Fi Q with red dustcap and BP Power, running on a Sundown 1200D at 1 ohm. Put it into a custom built box with white ultra-suede front and 4.0 cu ft volume with (4) 3" ports which i dont think is quite enough but ill be upgrading to a XCON eventually so trying not to put any more money into this system unless absolutely necessary. The tint is 15% all around (back shield, back 2 doors, and front 2 doors) and im considering a 50% on the front shield. Car is a 1999 Volvo S70. Headunit is Alpine CDA-9886..... Can't think of anything else so here are the picks. Enjoy! Any comments, ad…

Alright guys I'm new to SSA and Fi. I'm Ramin, i live in Cali. I'm paying my friend about 100 a week for a Bl 12" w/ cooling, a Nine.1 Amp, and a custom 2.4cuft box tuned to 32hz. (i'm paying 640 altogether) He had the setup for about 2 weeks, and now decided he's gonna get the bl 18. So he's selling me his new setup. Well firstly, is there anything i should change about that setup. I could for example sell that amp and get a new one. Secondly, i'm not the best with car audio. My friends help me with most of the installation etc. I know a decent amount though. The setup will be going in a 07 Audi A4, and a couple friends have been telling me that i'd need a new head unit …

i was bumpin on down the road and all of the sudden my sub cut out... perplexed, i went to the back to make sure all necessary wires connected ... as they were and drove home, pulled the sub out of my box and one of the tinsel leads was fried.........i have a 12" Q powered by a eD nINE running at 2 ohms and a comfortable 950 watts ....so i dont believe that this was an error on my part i have done all my big 3 running 4 gauge wire everything ....how and how much is it going to take to fix this asap......my sub should still be under warranty seeing how i bought it only about 7 months ago......please help i cant live without beats

i blew a voice coil in my 15" btl, how much are recones and is reconing it difficult?

This summer I will be looking to upgrade my system. I am strongly considering an Fi product, but I do not yet know which one. I guess my question is what the minimum and maximum power you would suggest running on the SSD, Q, and BL. I would not be purchasing a BTL due to power requirments. I certainly do not want to blow a new sub, but I do not want to underpower them either. So, what is the power range, as well as optimal for each of the three? Thanks

Well guys, thought you might want to see what I got in the car finally. After a LOT of hard work (totally dynamatted the car, custom mounted Utopia tweets in the front, etc etc) I got the subs in today and started hittin on em w/ the Fosgate T20001bd. Here's a quick pic after I got the subs in. The box is 2.25 cubic ft. per sub, tuned to 32Hz. It's not the Cadillac of Meade's, lol but it'll do for me. btw, props to Fi, Scott, Nick, everybody on the "team." I played the subs for about 15 minutes and I'm ready to go jam em tomorrow hehe.

a friend of mine is needing a recone for a 12 inch atomic apocalipse can you do this recone and how much is with shipping 00725

hi all, i have dream to own Fi subwoofer long time ago,but i cant find it in my country and also there have no any website that selling Fi product willing to ship Fi product to Malaysia. i need some one to help me,to teach me how to purchase Fi product.If i own Fi subwoofer,if i have Fi subwoofer,i think i goona be a king of SPL in Malaysia.

Here is my equipment list first off: 16cuft wall tuned to 30hz 2 x Fi BL 18's with Flatwind and Cooling (D2's) 2 x Trutechnology Hammer H1's 1 x Dls A3 1 x Re Audio XXX 6.5 components (Newer versions) 1 x Pioneer P88rs 3 x Dynasty Batteries UPS-MR12-350 1 x 250a Alt by HO Alts Knukonceptz 0awg wiring allround I entered into the world of car audio with a single 15" ported in 3 cubes to 2 x 12" Orion H2's with 3k in 4.5cuft and then onto 2 x 12" Re MX's with 3k in 6cuft (Got 138.1, 143.2 and 145.4 on TL) All have been boot installs and this is my first walled install.

I just received my Fi/SX 12 hybrid in the mail. It looks awesome and ill be sure to get some pics up and a video soon. How long do you suggest i play it low before i turn it up? I have the gain about 1/2 way up right now. Just wondering how long before I can cut loose on this bad boy.

anyone know if they ever got the magnets in for the btl's the 30 day lead time just ran out on my order and i wasnt sure what the deal is .

would this work, a Hifonics Brutus bxi 2000w with a 18 inch btl n2? what would the ohms be when i by the btl? it would be dual 1 right?

As it states, this is just something I am curious to see. All would be in the optimum enclosures and tuned appropriately. I am curious how many pick sealed vs ported, size of the subs, etc. Again, this is all subjective and I am doing this out of curiousity to find out what the majority of you audiophiles would really go with. Lets say 1k watts per sub. optimum enclosure. trunk install. I am tryin to get ideas of what a general Fi user loves before I even start thinkin of my next setup.

Does Fi sell shirts or any other accessories(hopefully free), i would love to represent them! I would want stickers too when i finally order my BTL!

Hey guys, my BL came in today and i hooked everything up. Im using a 4.97ft^3 box tuned at 29 hz, and also an orion xtr 1000. Everything sounds fine, i just want to make sure how to play it in order to break it in properly. I did crank it up for a few seconds to see how insane it is and my ears are still hurting, which led to a blown fuse in my distribution block, which was a 60A(please comment on that) The dust cap also gets pretty warm but not hot, im not sure if thats normal. I will also admit that i am a complete idiot and should be shot becasue i drilled a hole through the rubber surrounding, i found out later that the holes were not lined up on the rubber surroun…

Just like what the topic said, I got bored today and I had the energy to do something so I decided to make myself a stencil and spray the Fi logo on my box, I m pretty happy with the result..

hey guys, so im new to car audio but have been doing quite a bit of research.. i first planned on getting two 15" jls but then i found fi and would really love to get to 15" bls and two amps to power each. ive got a 93 ford explorer with completely stock stereo, all four speakers are blown so i need all new speakers and an amp to power them. i also need a head unit. so i basically need everything new. i plan on doing the big three upgrade and any other things necessary to have a clean install, i also plan on making my own box. if anyone has any suggestions or anything to say about my plans id love to hear about it! another thing is that i see people giving bls 1500 watts…

OK, so i've had 2 hifonics bxi2006ds for my 2 btls, but I've been wanting more power. I just purchased one of the bxi's not too long ago, and I take real good care of my stuff so my bro bought it for almost what I paid. To replace it I just purchased a SoundStream 10000d from another member of this forum. I was thinking I'll just go buy another one to match, but I'm considering waiting for the 2nd amp to do side-by-side comparison of different amps that claim to put out a lot of power. I want to put 4-5kwatts per btl for daily and maybe a few comps, but mainly just groud-pounding, so one amp per sub. Whatever I find to be the best sound/spl combo I'll get 2 of. As I do th…

To Whom It May Concern (probably Scott), My name is Brad and I currently run a DIYMA 12" subwoofer in a .5ft^3 box. The DIYMA is an amazingly solid sub with HUGE stacked magnets, but its weak point is definitely its cone. Unfortunately, my cone cracked with less than 150 watts and gain set properly. So I am requesting a custom recone kit for my DIYMA. It has a 3" x 2" 4 layer voice coil. This sub is pretty beefy (37lbs) so shipping it would be a last resort. Can you create a new recone kit for this sub? All information on the sub can be found at www.diymobileaudio.com and I can personally talk to the designer of the sub if you need more information. Thank you. -Brad

i want to buy 2 fi bl 12s ported box dunno if it will fit in my car its a 2012 ford fusion

I've had a family member offer to give me two identical Cliff Designs amplifiers from one of his old setups when I mentioned that I plan to get a Q12 setup going. I had previously been looking at a Hifonics HFi1500D. He is rather insistent. As I don't want to offend him, I'm wondering how practical it is to use one amplifier per voice coil. I could get 1000W out of it the pair theoretically (500W x 2 amps @ 2 ohms) by doing that instead of only 700W (700W x 1 amp @ 1 ohm) that the gear can provide otherwise. I know not if the amplifiers themselves can be strapped, so it would have to be this route if I wish to use them both. I have an oscilloscope that I could use f…

I am interested in buying the FI Q 18" sub and i was wondering if it has a sub box included... also, do you ship to Canada? Thanks alot, Mack.

Hey Yall well as the tital states i have 2 12" 07 Blz fully loaded with power upgrades cooling etc so how much rms exctly ish are they and what sort of power can i run into them i want to use 5000wrms (tru 5000wrms) with low gains or will i be better of using 2 2000wrms amps 1 to each sub i dont want to blow them but i dont know how much they will take any thoughts or suggestion thanks peeps bring the BASS xMplar

Well after just about worrying myself to death, this bitch came. Initial impressions, the packaging could be a little more sturdy as my sub shifted a bit but besides that, i am definitely impressed by this thing. Build quality is excellent, nice & stiff ready to be broken in. I can't wait to give this thing the business with 1500w. Absolutely beautiful specimen if I do say so myself. The pictures just don't do it justice... anyways on with the good stuff! Whats this? sexy? oh yeh so sexyyyy Will it be loud? Oh yes, it will be loud
