    Pretty much as stated at the top, I'm just curious if they can recone it for me, and if they do will I lose all the linear travel I had? How will it affect my power handling and sound quality? Thanks for any and all help guys.

  2. my pm's I've sent don't show up in my outbox/sent folder... is there an error on the site? I send one to shawn about the contest and a shirt/stickers thing, and actually pointing out I'd rather have Scott write reconed by sign his name and @ FI on the recones I'm getting but since it won't happen I'll take the shirt/stickers instead... unless of coarse scott does want to sign my cones instead in which case I'd pay for a shirt and stickers instead and may end up keeping the subs lol... unnLESS I could get him to sign other complete FI subs down the line... so people can complain as it adds dBs and that's why it's loud lol eh, 1am here, wife's pissed so I gtg... thanks…

  4. im currently looking into buying a Fi Q 18 right? well, i dont have any car amps currently! (Had to sell my two 600 watt kenwood amps, yea i know it isnt much power, but it was plenty for my 6000s) So, since I def. dont have enough to buy a SAZ-1000 yet, how much would you say could get the Q moving? like 500 rms? 800rms? 1000rms? I dont wanna spend a whole lot, cause I want to buy a SAZ soon, but I dont want the Fi just sitting around, you know how it is when you get a new sub, you wanna hook it up as soon as the box is done! Cant just finish the box and put it in the garage and watch it gather dust. enough-power-for-minimum-before-I-buy-the-bigger-Sundown-amp budget Bu…

  6. I was planning on purchasing a fully loaded 15'' btl and wanted to know if I could get a couple suggestions on what amp I should purchase. I'm looking at the 2-Channel XXV Colossus (1 x 3200-Watts....Bridged Mono @ 2-Ohms)-$660.00 or the hifonics BXi 2006D (2000-Watt x 1 RMS @ 1-Ohm)-$314.00 or the memphis mojo 16-MC2000D (RMS Power 2 ohm (Watts) 2000 x 1 @13.8V)-$880.00 or the Sound Streem PCA3500D PICASSO ( 3500W x 1 @ 1 ohm)-$480.00. The reason I ask because I've only had experience with the memphis amp and was impressed but as you can see its alot more expensive then the other amps that put up similar numbers. So if anyone could help me decided which amp I should purc…

    are they specific break-in instruction for the SSD? What is the procedure. Will they come with the woofer ? In the reviews i noticed they sound better over time. Is this typical as things start to loosen up and get moving?

    I just sold my Q12 (and a 15), I bought and installed 2 Rl-i8's and they sound great, but I just miss that deep loud low sound from a 12. The Rl-i's are little monsters don't get me wrong and they get low, but they're 8's, impressive as they may be, I don't know I just miss the Q12. I got rid of it due to space limitations in my truck. But I would be willing to give up that space again, in a small sealed enclosure. Now I was also looking at the TC-3000, I'm just skeptical of TC's CS and lack of info about the subs. The site shows the older 3k's and on the forum the new ones are talked about but very limited info and stock and they will be producing another batch of differ…

    currently i have three q12's sealed in a mazda 3 sedan firing through the rear seat opening i have a 1000 watt amp on each. some of the choices that i have are.... 1.) get 2 q15 and run them sealed firing into cab via rear seat opening 1000 on each (less weight than i have now and less current draw and should be louder) aprox 530.00 A. if i get these and i have an itch to eliminate trunk space i can go ported but i dont think i will have room for 2-15's ported due to lack of area in rear seat opening for 2 15's and a port so this not likely 2.) get 1 btl and ported obviously with 1000 on each coil. through the rear seat opening. A. how much does it weigh i don…

    hey, i have a destjl built E15k (with the boob cone and blue e), and i spoke to nick via email a few months ago about a recone. I am just wondering if these would basically be arsenal parts, and how the sub would compare to the original. The e15k and the 15 arsenal have similar specs, xmax, and box requirements, so i figure this would be a good match. Just curious, and i may find out what that would cost if this is a good match. thanks brian

    I have emailed Fi a couple of times and havent gotten a response, I know they are ususally pretty busy up there so I figure I'll see what everyone here knows about this.. I currently have the original style 18" BTL and want another one, my sub has P.Chamfer, hixmax coil, 3rd mag, dual 1, and daily option.. can I get another one to match this one so I can run 2 of the same subs? or are they completely out of production.. I am aware the new BTL is probably better than the one I currently have but, I cant afford to buy 2 new ones .. Thanks for any help.......
