    Was it FI that was making something called the FI X?? I have looked but can't find it and the search will not work for FI x to few letters together.. I thought they were some left over subs they had they put together, for like $70 to $99 I think.. A link would be great, I wanted to see if they still had some..

    So I've been doing a lot of reading and looking around and now I'm kind of geared towards one or two Fi Q 12"s. If I go with two I was looking at the Audioque 2200D, but I haven't really looked for an amp if I only go with one, so I'm kind of set on two but I'm worried about it being too loud. What kind of electrical upgrades would I have to do for two of them? Now I was thinking of building my box, I'm debating between ported or sealed, haven't really decided which one I want to go with yet. My max trunk space is 36" wide, 15" high. I can go kind of deep, can't remember the exact measurement right now but how deep would I have to go for a box with that width and height?…

    Does anyone know if FI got their internet back up and running? I talked to Nick on Wednesday or Thursday and he said the internet had been down all week so they couldn't ship anything out. I am waiting on 2 btl's to ship out so I was going to see if they ever got it running again

    Didn't know if this belonged on the tech page, so here goes. Just recently looked at the SSD 10 and 12". Looks to me they have the same power handling. Anyways Im currenty torn between the two of them. I know I would get 1 with a copper coil but thats it. I would like some more input on both, so I could get a better idea on which version would give me the results I want. Amp I have is an older Memphis 500D. Matt I'm also looking at the SoundSplinter rl-i10 if it matters any.

    Alright, So I Have a couple of questions. Currently I am running 1/0 to a saz-1500d and a 15" Fi BL with p chamfer. My question is i'm considering buying my friends 15" BL so I can run them both, his sub does not have a p chamfer, Is that going to be a huge difference in power or sound? My friend sugested that with the right electrical set up I could possible run my 1500d at .5 ohm. I'm not sure about that. Any suggestions and Info would be appreciated. Thanks

    For a while i have been pondering on whether to get a fully Loaded 15" Btl or 2 12" Q's I know that they are in very different (technology wise), but i have read alot on these forums that sometimes cone area can over come better machinery they are relatively the same price when it all comes down to it. They will be ran off of a AudioQue 2200D I just want opinions (not criticism) on which sub/subs you guys think will pound harder. I have a 03 trailblazer and i like lows Box will be ported and built accordingly

    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…

    I want to build a system utilizing 2 15" BTL's. What I need to know is what it's going to take to power these subwoofers properly. I've considered using a Rockford Fosgate 4000 Watt Amp, is that going to make the grade? I've heard that the BTL's need about 1500-2000 Watts RMS, so I have a good idea of what kind of amp I'm going to need. The real question is, if 4000 Watts is what I need to move them, what do I need for the charging system? The best high output altenator I've found is 180 Amps. I plan on upgrading all of the charging system wiring as well. Am I going to need to use multiple batteries in addition to my regular car battery and upgraded altenator? A lot of pe…

    How long does it usually take for turn around on emails? I've sent one to the sales and recone emails for Fi over a week ago and haven't heard anything. I had the problem with the aluminum plug busting through the dust cap and am hoping to get it fixed soon as i've been going after this for about a month now. Austin

    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.......
