Going on vacation thousands of miles away from a computer ladies/gents. Will return on the 22nd, if you need assistance please email [email protected] or post here. Thanks! -Nick

so i noticed last week that my lows were not making my heart beat off tune... i thought perhaps i am just getting used to my subs and it was time to upgread today me and my sister went to the store, i was on the way back and i turned it up.. and the low end was there.. but not like it used to be.. to i whipped in behind a big box store and poped my trunk.. and what did i see my subs jumping out of the box at me! i broke, a buncha screws... and there were a buncha screws that pulled out of the wood. its maybe time to build a new box. im very glad that the cone had the tensil pad otherwise im sure it would have rubbed thru no sprider crackage no other sign …

Im interested in buyign 2 btl 12" subs i want to no wat the 3rd magnet does also if i could use a massive 3000.1 to run them both?

I have a 2008 bl 15 w cooling and flatwind option on a us amps 2000x (2000w easily). Have had this setup for bout 9 months now running with no issues but it seems as of late that it just doesn't seem to be as accurate as it used to be. Also feels like I'm missing some punch. Being that I've been throwing a lot of power to it, possible that the soft parts properties changing from all the movement?

Here is my video of Bass Boom Bottom by power supply. My 15" Fi BL is powered by an American Bass VFL 150.1 at 1 ohms...Just recently installed the Epic 160..Last night actually..Not finished installing, still need to fill in the gaps around it with some vinyl pieces...Anyway..Here is a quick video of it..On the Epic I am getting 142 db's with the back seats up..I do have blow through in my rear deck..But the seat is still Up..

Has any body owened or heard the sa 8'' subs if so what are they comparable to? By this i mean can they get as loud as a 12? I know they will be mutch more punchy but i was just wondering how well they preform. Thanks

I was wondering if I ordered a BTL with the universal option and dual 1 ohm VC what will be the cost of having them changed to dual 2 ohm VC in the future. I'm having a tough time choosing what subs to use. I feel if I use the BTL's I will need massive power to be happy with them, but I currently don't have the funds for massive power only funds for a little power including battery and alternator. I also feel if I get BL's I will eventually want to upgrade to BTL's. Fi is making this a very hard decision. BTW, am I going to hate the BTL's sq? I listen to rap alot but also enjoy rock and plan on demo'ing with my truck for others. So being able to reproduce music of all ki…

After some time being away and such I'm getting ready to order an Amp and a BL 15". I've been looking to buy a Kicker ZX1000.1 but I have yet to be able to understand the relation of ohms between amps and subs...I'm terrible at math. The amp does 1000W RMS at 2 ohms so does that mean I would want the 1 ohm option with the BL? --Thanks for any replies.

I've got some subs sitting here at the house needing recones. I was wondering if Fi has recones to fit them. First up is a 15" Kicker CVR (2inch VC), next is a 10" MA Audio MA100XE (2inch coil), and finally 2 Mass Destruction Sidewinder 12's (2inch coils). So does Fi have any kits that I can recone my subs with? If not, where can I look to find a kit? I can get further measurements if needed just tell me what I need to measure. Thanks alot!

Can't remember if you guys did black friday deals last year or not..... If so, I'm curious if you guys will again this year. I was wanting to pick up another SSD 18, and if there's a sale it would be a perfect time for me to get one.

I'm going to order a BTL 18 1-ohm after I order a T1500-1bd. I was planning on getting all the options, daily, and universal. I was just wondering if there's any downside to getting the universal option. Thanks for the help.

i want to buy 2 fi bl 12s ported box dunno if it will fit in my car its a 2012 ford fusion

Whats good guys just found this board and decided to join. At any rate, been thinking of upgrading subs to FI but not sure which ones. I currently have 2 RF p2's powered by a RF P500.2 with a cap and am pretty happy with it but i want more. I found FI and have heard nothing but good things. Keep in mind i have a Chevy SIlverado with a sealed box under my rear seats. What FI subs could i use with this box or would u guys recomend another box? Really looking into the BL's but not sure what will fit and such. Any help will be appreciated

Hey, I just recently purchased a 15Q from Fi, maybe like two months ago. It always worked flawlessly and sounded really great. The last few days the sub would cut in and out while a song was playing and it turns out a wire came undone on the inside of the box so i unscrewed the sub and put everything back together. Today I turned the music on and there was a wierd sort of popping sound on some of the notes when it played and it would only play some of the time. It sounds as if there is something inside the sub itself that is rattling. I checked all the wires about 50 damn times and made sure everthing was perfect. The sub would cut out and i'd flick the dustcap and it…

Okay I have a new(to me) car, a 2001 saturn ls200. I want to get a system going but my 1 15RE SX isn't quite cutting it. So, should I get 1 18 or 2 15's. Either way, I'm leaning toward elemental designs 15/18 or FI SSD or Q for 15/18. I know it'll be a bit biased here but please be as objective as possible Thanks

Guys I saw a posts on another forum (i have been searching for the link somewhere) that they talked to an Fi audio rep and was told that the copper coil option increases RMS handling.... T or F Thanks

Got my eye on a BL 15 on Craigslist. Guy tells me the plastic piece that holds the sub terminals in place is broken.. Seems like an easy super glue/silicone fix but I'm worried what may have caused it.. He didn't seem to think it was a problem as if he has been running it just hanging there. I wouldn't think you would want those hanging? What do you guys think about that? Is it an easy fix? Would you purchase this sub? Pics look perfect but he mentioned the prob which has no pic. He's asking $200 for the sub

So I checked last night UPS said Shipped, FI said shipped and its schedualed for next wed. I am very happy. But now Im starting my box build And I think Iv changed things a little.. I was running 6 cubes Net Volume. That was perfect for me as it just maxed out my the dimensions I could use...However, I think that in reality after displacements ill be down around 5 cubes... Is that enough? Or should I bump the box up to 7 net cubes? Any advice? Thanks

Im trying to see which sub is a good "SQL" sub. I had a 10w7 in a ported box and it rocked. Im looking to put 2 10's in my nissan titan in a ported box, its gonna have about 1.3 cu ft for each chamber, powered by a sundown 2000d.

Ok Ive been designing my new system Ill be putting in this summer and for the amp I have chosen the Rockford Power T10001Bd to power a Fi Audio BL 15 and build a nice large ported box tuned low for it, but then I got bored and looked at the SSD 15 and saw it required less cu. ft. for a ported box and I could fit 2 of those 15s ported but would have to build seperate boxes for them because my trunk aint that big too put one big box in at once and I dont want to partialy build the box and have to finish it in the trunk, but another thing I dont know the final load of 2 Dual 1ohm subs are and if it did have a 1ohm load shuldnt the T10001Bd amp have enough power for both of t…

HEy guys, I recently sent my sub in for repair. It has been two weeks since they got it and I still havent heard from them. Ive emailed them twice with no luck. This is getting quite irritating because I can never get ahold of them unless Ive purchased something. lol Any phone numbers? any help appreciated, Thanks.

Will the 10" FI X be ok in about .80ft^3, or is that too large for sealed? I bought a prefabbed subthump box for another sub and have decided I would rather use the FI X. This is going under the rear seat of my CC Sierra. I don't mind cutting an end off the box and closing the box up a little bit if necessary! Or would I be better off opening up the sub hole and putting an FI X 12" instead? I only have 6.5" of mount depth before the magnet touches the bottom of the box. Thoughts or opinions on this?

Hello There. I don't know if you all remember me, however I had started a log a while back for my subwoofer...and was wondering if I could make another here. Or would I have to make it in the "logs" section of the sound solutions forum? The reason I want to post it here is because I have taken some really great high-quality pictures of the full install and I think more people would find it here.
