    Is there a way to find out how much output I will lose if I go from 15" BLs to 12" BLs with the same variables on the same power?

    I want to buy another 18" SSD, but I need to have my current sub reconed to a dual 1 ohm. The sub I have now is an 18" SSD dual 2 ohm with the flatwind coil. Can I either send it, or drop it off (I live close) to Fi and have them do it for me? Thank you.

    I have been thinking about a sundown 1500d but it will come to around 660 can shipped. Looking for something cheaper available in Canada. Unless this is the best option then I will continue to save for it.

    what amp would be better for a 12" Bl with the BP Power? US Amps MD 1D (underrated at 1200w @ 1ohm) or US Amps MD 2D (underrated at 1500w @ 1ohm)... Also would the flatwind coil be worth the extra $20? And also what would be a good box size? I know it recommends anywhere from 1.8-2.5... but what would be about perfect?

    ... FINALLY WORKS! I rewired the LOC to the rear speaker wires past the factory amp instead behind the deck and it all works now! Apparently the radio puts out a signal no matter what, and the factory amp is what controls the volume. So that's why I was getting output at 0 volume. All I have to say is it sounds amazing! It gets the output and clarity I wanted and the 10 is loud, but beautifully crisp. Amazing products from the guys at FI.

    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.......

    I've noticed a trend of people getting recones done and buying speakers and are having hard time grasping how our speakers are built. Below is a youtube video tutorial of two top things that have been happening as of late. "Why does my speaker not have holes in it? Should I drill new holes in the aluminum??? " No!!! Watch this! "I just got a new sub or a recone done from you and it does not work!!! " Do this: 9 volt battery pop test how to if you do not have a digital volt ohm meter.

    I have a 12'' fi q with the bp option in a downfiring box 2.5 cu ft tuned to 32 hz. I have a hifonics bxi 1208d powering it. I am worried that i am clipping the signal. I had the radio turned up to 25 ( goes up to 62) and everything sounded good and crisp but when i turn it up to 50, it seems like the bass isnt as loud and not as crisp. Idk if i have things set right. Here are the places i have things set two: Subsonic: Three o'clock LPF: 1 o'clock Gain: 12 o clock Bass Eq: 12 o clock I know hifonic amps are known for clipping and are pretty cheap. I just need some advice on what this is. I dont wanna fry my baby.

    I am gonna be ordering a 12" BL soon and i can't decide what i should power it with. Any suggestions? What are you using to power it? Moneys not really an issue but i dont want to send "too" much. Maybe in the 400-500 range. I was thinking maybe going with Earthquake amps (recommended from a friend) but i dont really know. I know alot about subs, absolutely nothing about amps. Thanks, Tyler
