Im totally lost on what options i should choose when configuring a BTL. Im looking to get a 12". Its gonna be used as a daily speaker in a ported box. im confused about choosing the P chamfer and the cooling part, and the rest of the options lol. I already have an amp that gives 2700 watts RMS, so most likely ill be using this amp unless this isnt safe? please help me in deciding which options i should choose while keeping the things i stated before in mind. Thank you in advanced. please help my noob self as much as possible

I would like to get this sub reconed to 10" for SPL only. It is rated at 600 watts rms but I have burped it at over 5k no issues. Dual 2 woofer. What kinda options do I have as far as recone goes? Got some pics here:

I really need to contact Fi about an order I had, and I got an Email back saying their inbox is receiving a lot of mail, so it will take awhile for them to reply. So if anyone could tell me another way to contact Fi i'd appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

Would it sound ok to put an Fi SSD in a 1.00 cu.ft. enclosure with a port tuned to 35 hz?

Just did this for SI, now I see it happening on Fi.... http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/349209.html "Probelms with BTL's?" -Kevin Holden

I just wanted to give props to FI. I have been reading lots of various magazines involving cars and have never really seen FI anywhere. Yesterday I picked up the new copy of Car Audio Magazine and long behold, one of the champion SPL competitors was in it showin his 4 18" BTLs which he hit over 180dbs with. Nice to see them in a magazine and getting some attention. I am sure this will cause a small flood of people who never heard of ya to become more interested. CONGRATS!!

Hey guys, I just want to let everyone know. Our email is currently down with the changeover to the new website(which is awesome if I do say so myself). It is out of my hands right now and is on the new email company. I do apologize about the inconvenience. If you need anything right now, feel free to hit me up on here or in a PM. Thanks, Shawn

Box is for a Fi BTL 18" it's going to be in a S-10 blazer I've noticed alot of the people on here use blazers and may have a design already. What I'm wanting is a box with the sub pointing up with the port facing the hatch. I can get deminsions if needed. Thanks, Dover.

I like to thank Scott and all the other guys at Fi for having absolutely amazing customer service, and having good quality products. oh ya.. and the pics --Thank you Fi, -James

I might pick up a blown w7 for cheap and was curious to see if you guys could get some type of custom re-cone for it.

I ordered an SSD recone yesterday and there is no option for integrated leads on the site. I added in the special instructions that I want them. Can you please include integrated leads and charge me for them?

I was thinking about getting a btl 18 and i was wondering what options i should get on it thanks. and by the way i listen to rap alot and i want it to be mostly loud. Thank you

its an 89 f150 with a supercharged 302 the box built by peter kulicki at hexibase.com just waitin for my 2 kicker zx2500;'s to mount on my custom center console my old setup

im gettin a 12in ssd, dual 2ohm, flatwind coil. WTF is BP power? THANKS!

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

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…

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 .

Ok, now I figured this is an infinite baffle. Just found out by googling it. Now comes the real question, What positives and negatives come from an inifinite baffle? Do they sound good at all and can they produce some nice SPL or would I be better off just makin a ported enclosure.

I have sent a few e-mails over the last few weeks to a few different e-mail addresses but have yet to receive a response from anyone. Anyway, I am needing a recone for my spare Q before MECA world finals and I need to get it in sometime between now and November 17th-18th. Someone please let me know the cost and who I need to send money to to get this recone. This is for a FI 15" Q D2 with the BP Power option. Thanks!!! Jeremy McCord Carlisle Acoustics

Hey all, I'm thinking of buying a Fi Q with the cooling option, and was going to power it with a Kicker ZX1500.1 or an MTX TE1501D. Both are rated at 1500 watts, but the kicker is at 2 ohm and the MTX is at 1 ohm. Would 2ohm be better, since I heard that running the same wattage, a 2 ohm amp is going to be more stable and run cooler/more reliably than those running at 1 ohm. First off...would the MTX be a better bet? I believe it has an adjustable subsonic filter for 20hz-50hz, where as the kicker is non adjustable at 25hz. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I heard it was an important feature. Could anyone explain the reasoning behind this? Secondly, any opinions, …

im lookin for the setup that would give me a higher DB for a daily driver,, either 2 15" BL's or one 18" BTL,, i have plenty of power and room for either one. thanx

just wanted to know wut kind of soldering gun you guys use to solder the tinsel leads on to the subs, im goin to recone my sub soon and i dont have a good soldering gun. and wut percent silver solder do yall use.

ok im fixing to order in a few days so i was going to get some opinions on what i have come up with what im looking at... i have been kind of stuck between the btl and bl....but i've finally decided on the bl i will be going with two 12"" on the options im going with dual 1, cooling,flatwind,daily, as far as the universal i dont plan on needing to change the impedence..... going to giving them around 2500rms in a 6 cu ft enclosure before sub and port displacement @35hz how does this sound....

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....
