General Fi

OK well i had this box i made in my single cab pick up for my single cab pickup and well atm its tuned pretty low....i hit lows real badass...but the highs suck. SOOooo i am going to go ahead and make a new box that will be tuned differntly. What do you all prefer i mean i want loud bass that can be felt and heard. THe lows can be felt nicely and i can do small window shakes but i was told if i tune the box higher it would hit harder but of course lose sq.... I was thinking of tuning my box to 36. The subs btw are 2 Fi Bl 12'. Well the question i am really asking i guess is what would i achieve if i tune the box low(30) compared to high(37) My videos here http://www.youtu…

Like the title says, one of the magnets on my 12" Fi Q split in half. Don't know how, but I noticed the woofer was making strange noises a week or so ago, and took it out to investigate. I heard that this wasn't exactly a unique case, as other Fi products seem to have split magnets as well, possibly UPS is dropping them? At any rate, who do I contact for help? I have emailed Fi with no response. Is there anyone on the forum that could help speed this up? The sub is still covered under warranty, if this issue is covered under warranty...

Sup guys this is just another thread on my box problem that has been solved finally. Most of you guys probably saw it before since there isn't a crazy amount of new threads everyday. Anyways I thought i'd post some pictures of the new one since everybody lovvvvves pictures haha. Should be in the show off section I'm guessing, but a BTL is going into so oh well. So tell me what you guys think..I hope this isn't a pointless thread but it probably will be lol. Lata This is my former thread where I discussed the messed up box that I paid $300 for. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=28637 Check out the major difference.

Well recently, I have just purchased a 12" CVX that came in a prefab Kicker enclosure. It was powered off a Kicker ZX 750.1(which seems to be the only decent Kicker purchase I made). I assume with the amp being underrated, and therefore overpowering the CVX caused it to blow. Well now, I'M GOING FI BEEZYS, sorry for the anticipation, but now anyway I would like to power my new setup with the same amp, the Kicker ZX750.1 and replace the sub with a NEW FI SSD 12". Temporarily I will, use the same box.... I know to some extent either the enclosure could make or break the sub hopefully, the prefab kicker box won't make the FI sound like shit. Opinions? I would also like to k…

Because that would be today! But it hasnt said aything more than billing info received. ? Thanks Mike Cullinan Future Owner of Q 12

I had my 12" dual 1 ohm Q reconed right before i sold my old car, and have decided against putting a system in my new car as i have a baby due in 8 weeks and need the trunk space. so it hasn't been used at all since the recone. what do u guys think i should sell it for? thanks anthony

Well im getting the 2ohm Fi 18 BL and i found an amp that has 2ohm 1000wattrms with 2000W MAX,,,,,,other amps with a max of 1000W have a 2ohm 500w RMS,,,,,,,what do i need for my subwoofer 1000W RMS i guess??? Can someone tell me whats the difference betwee 4ohm,2 ohm,and 1 ohm,and what do they do???

Alright I just thought of a quick question. How is the BTL 18" response time? Is it so bad that all I could listen to is rap / bass cds? I know that 10" will have a better response time than 18" but by how much? I enjoy listening to bass heavy songs but not all the time. Same with rap, I enjoy listening to it but not all the time. I enjoy some d n b, some metal, some punk, some speed / grindcore and some other generas.

Haha joining the club of topics about emails I know you guys are busy..but I sent you guys an email about a change I'd like on my sub before it gets made. I need a dual 2 not a dual 1. Just piping in just in case it got overlooked...subject was included when I sent it. Invoise number I-12521/00. Like I said I know you guys are really busy so I'm trying to not be a pain in the balls...Thanks again.

Ok so everything is ordered and should be here within a week. Car: 2000 explorer Materials: -Alpine cde-102 H/U -18" Fi BL with Cooling, Flatwind. D2, wired to 1 ohm. -Sundown 1500D -8cu ft. box tuned to 32hz. -KNU 1/0 amp wiring kit. -RCA's, etc all form knu -12 gauge speaker wire from KNU Too start of this is just a quick run through to make sure everything is right. First I will be doing Big 3 soon enough but for the first little bit I will be without it. Now I am keeping my stock battery and alt as the battery is very good and the alt is 130amps which should be fine for the one amp. I have installed my h/u with the remote and the rca's running down the right side of t…

Sent you guys a couple of e-mails with no response. Just wondering if it has been shipped yet and if you think I will have it by the 16th. Got a lil car show and wanting to represent FI there. order #I-12535/00‏

just a quick question!! what do i want to have my box tuned to for daily use?? also if anyone has a link about what recommended size i need could you please post or tell me thanks!

A simple question, maybe not a simple answer though. I am looking to (maybe) invert my 15" BTL when I get it. The whole reason why I want to do this is to give the woofer as much air as it wanted and to use the trunk as the entire box. Saving room would be a plus but isn't really needed. I know some subs simply cant be mounted this way. The more I think of it the more I actually think the BTL may not be able to. Dont think though that this will make or break me getting a sub, just an idea.... http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5601 (some guy posted a program to help with box cubic feet calculations)

At 1:03 ish. Is Steve just not pulling enough power?

heres a little clip so you know what im working with, ill have outside pics of the caddy if you guys havent already seen it in the background of my other installs collecting dust .........project is started!! so far it will consist of 8 18" subs and the MIGHTY ROCKFORD T15K! This project might take a while since there is so much to do but here are some new progress pics. heres what WAS in it....

Not sure if Fi got the email, but if you could please post a price or PM me a price for a 15" BTL D1 recone! I got the old model with the triple stack magnets.

With trying to get into contact with Fi? I sent an email to orders@, sales@, scott@ & nick@ trying to make sure they change the ohm version Q sub I ordered. And I called the phn # from the PPal receipt and no answer. Any ideas? Mike

About the Bp option. Thanks. Mike Cullinan I just put this here because Im not sure if you are receiving email or not. Peace

Ok, so i currently own a vw mk5 gti, and it has a rather small trunk space to say the least i plan on a small 12" sub. This is the trunk space i have to work with. (Picture is not my trunk) A friend of mine had a few 18" BTL's in his truck, big fan of steve meade. He says he would recommend nothing but Fi Audio for subwoofers. So im going to take his advice and go with that. I also will be using that for daily sound not SPL. He suggested the BTL 12" , unfortunately i dont know much about them, and he isnt around enough to be a big help. I realistically dont need the 2000 watts atm, but it would be nice to have that option for later, but someone i know said its not good …

Wudup guys I need some help/advice once again about my box that I just picked up today..I made sure to include pictures so it'd be easier....well just look at it...a 15" BTL is going into it and i know it has the size. I punched the dimensions of the box into a box calculator and it's around 4cuft. But look at the ports..they look too small. Are they? I've never seen ports on a box for a BTL that look so small..look in the third picture. Also you can see that it's not an L shaped port...it just kind of ends..it's just straight as you can see in the third pic... Anyways it's supposed to be tuned to around 32hz but i can't figure out how i can make sure it is...any hel…

Is there any advantage or disadvantage in going with the Bp version. Plus should I get the 2 ohm version? Right now Ive got 600w into 2 ohms.. The Pioneer Mono doesnt do 1 ohm... I will upgrade someday... And lastly with the SQ of this sub be much better than the Pioneer sub I have? Below are the specs and I know specs dont mean that much...

Ok, I got home this morning to see a sticker from the fedex guy because no one was home. Do you guys know if they ship UPS or fedex? Im trying to figure it out before I drive 20 miles to the fedex warehouse lol. Thanks

Hey guys help me out here i just have a couple short questions. I just ordered a 15" BTL not too long ago and I'm still undecided on what amp what buy. The two I'm stuck on are a Rocford T20001BD or an AudioQ 2200D. What would be a better fit for the sub? Another major thing I was curious on was which one would be better on power? I heard the T2K is very power hungry. Also which amp has better quality over all? Another thing is that I can pick up the AQ2200D for almost $200 less which is a big deciding factor. Does anybody have either of these amps that can give me some feedback on them? I'd appreciate any response and advice. Thanks.

So everything for my system shall be arriving very soon and I am already to hook it up. I am running a 18" BL with a sundown 1500, now my question is how do i properly break in the subs. I know consistent volume etc. the question I have is what my gain shall be set to. I know what clipping is and everything but as it being a new sub how am I supposed to know what to set it to. After I set it is it supposed to be changed to go along with the break in. As far as my HU goes I have a Alpine cde-102, cheap i know but it will do the trick. The HU has features such as sub woofer control which is 0-15, and many other things, the other question is for that is what I should be sett…
