General Fi

All week I have been sitting around like a kid on Christmas eve and finally she arrived yesterday. I dropped her in and added a run of 2/0 welding wire as a ground for better voltage. I am soon to be adding a HO alt and finishing my big 3 off with better wire. Anywho all I can say is wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this sub is loud as hell. First setup I had that really hurts my ears. Like really hurts them and the thing that I like the most I still have more left in it as far as tuning it. I would like to say that to the ear thus far this setup is far louder than my 2 12" ssds on the same power. Only thing different is I actually built the box for my 15" as opposed with the 12"s …

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…

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…

Lookin into putting together another set up for the spring and summer. Last year two 12cvr on (dont laugh) power acoustik BAMF1800 bha. Question is how much would a 15 Q running off say..... hifonics BXI 1210 d embarrass the kickers? Oh port facing back in town car ( big @$$ clamshell trunk)

Hey I need to buy 2 bl 18's... and was wondering how long the wait is and also how I can get in touch with you guys. Thanks

as stated, I'm between these two subs. the r is rated @ 750 rms, and the bl is 1000 rms + whatever the flatwind coil and cooling adds. I'd love to get the bl15 cause I hear it absolutely pounds, but I'm scared my amp wont do it justice. Whats my best option? im open to any brand/size of subs too, looking to spend up to $275-300 thanks

First post go easy -just kidding you can be brutal if needed. I have been curious as to the Fi product and have always wanted to hear and see 3 12's across the rear seat opening of my mazda 3 06 there is enough room and the boxes are built. you build it they will come. I am not happy with my box size but well in range at 1.1 ish after displacement each, there are 3 seperate boxes it was the only way to get in. I may redo the boxes to achive more like 1.3-1.4 after displacement but unsure as of now. each sub will have a 1000 watt amp on each. i plan on crossing over the middle sub at 80hz range and the 2 outer subs at a lower hz to be determined maybe around 40-50 hz to c…

Id like to say hi to every one since i am new to the forum. I am considering buying 2 Fi SSD 12" and i was wondering which amp would be the best for these subs. Also which gauge wiring would be best and any other things i would need to get the best performance out of these subs.

so fi has upgraded the btl ssd and q to the single slug motors, do they plan to do the same with the bl? i have a ssd and wanna try the bl but would like the newer version if its coming....

I emailed Scott@Fi for the box dimensions. Is it true that if i use those dimensions, its a prefab box? Someone told me. If i use FI's box dimensions, is that like buying a box right off the shelf?

Hey Scott, 11 days ago you said I should have a UPS tracking number for my repaired sub. Looking for an update here as my son is driving me crazy. Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Carl

Okay i have 2 12" Fi SSD and i was wondering if this box would work? http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/2395150/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046/sret/181321621918223218217282221228283214223214287220217236291224231296225236243230231234247230239232249240 copy and paste in URL

well i made it to my first show may 16 . < tnespl , rockyhill ct. > i came setup to play music, but ended up in woofer cooker class. so i did what i could with what i had setup. i had 1x btl 15 2x saz1500d ford explorer I got a 147.9 <still had some left> i am verrrrrrrry happy for my first try. now knowing what class i'm in i will build a fart box and do better. most important to me is that my kids wanted to compete and thats why i put this together. they had a great time, and want to do it again. thanks for the great deal on the recones. i was the only one with FI subs at this show, sparked a little interest after i ran.

I placed an order for two BTL 15''s on Sep. 10th. I ordered dual 2's but would like to change that to dual 1's. Is it too late? I emailed sales as well as sent a PM to Shawn a couple days ago but have not heard back. Would someone from Fi please contact me.

This subwoofer is one badass lil puppy. its built like a tank , im still in shock that this is there bottom of the barrel driver. i cant wait to get my enclosure built going to be in a cube ported to 32 hz single aeroport off 800 watts. such a lil beast.

if anyone from fi car audio is reading this..... I have tried emailing you every day for a week straight. I placed an order on oct 28 and have not heard anything since. The order # is I-17022/00......SEND ME AN EMAIL LETTING ME KNOW WHATS GOING ON OR I WILL BE FORCED TO PUT IN A CLAIM WITH PP TO GET MY MONEY BACK. thanks PS. I think its crap that you guys don't have a phone #!!!!

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?

why is ther such a difference in the motor strenght=bl between the d1 and d2 version of the bl subs

Just another episode that happend today when one of my potnas' "felix" came by with a friend of his. Had to give him a quick drive around the block. I think he said his cousin had hella beat.....but this was beater than beat beat beat LOL........hit the link and go to the bottom. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/index.php...3&Itemid=42 enjoy

Hey guys, First of all Happy new year to everyone @ Fi Car Audio. It was a great year with your products and hope it was a great year in sales for you. Down to business, I have aquired an RE XXX v3 motor from a craigslist sale. (paid 150 for it) Its spiders were off of the landing and luckily no one who had the sub knew that was the problem, Hopefully I can glue them down and the coil didn't rub too much. I see you guys have a recone option for RE 3x, guessing thats the xxx you just cant use the name for copyright purposes. It says that the recones are good for 2005 models and up, but I have a XXX motor that uses XBL^2 technology (I think its 2006 model). Im guessin…

i dunno if this has been asked yet but im new here. i was wondering where i could get some fi decals at? i' like to get one thats pretty nice sized that'd look good on the back of a window.

wich is the best glue for reconeing and where can i get some
