    hey this is for scott, I don't know if you've been getting my emails or not, so I figured since it's been a while I'd just post here. If you didn't get my emails lmk. I talked to Tim Roy of sound xtreme and he said he can recone them. so if you're too busy just lmk, and I'll have the one you have shipped to him or the guy who paid me for it. feel free to email me if you'd like to pm call whatever... Thanks, Tom

    i have a dodge magnum. i see alot of people building boxes that have the subs firing up and the port towards the rear. ive never heard a car/truck with the box like that. ive always used rear face rear firing boxes. is there a difference? is it noticable if so?

    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

  15. Well I sent in my FI sub for repairs at the beginning of may. Sent a few emails to Mr. Shawn, and he said they would repair it. After a while I started getting no response. Probably because of the recent medical issues. Hopefully you are recovering Mr. Shawn. Thoughts and prayers go out to you. Anyway, I got an email from him about 2 weeks ago, and I emailed him back. I have gotten no reply yet. Today I try to send another email, and none of my emails are being delivered to them. I am getting this message: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups: [email protected] A problem occurred during the delivery of this message to this e-mail address. Try sending thi…

    I have a few questions about the Fi X series subs... I am going to buy 2 of the 12" and would like to know a few things before I purchase... The number one thing is... How much power is too much? I know Scott said not to expect super power handling but I mean is 400 RMS fine? How about 500 RMS? I know with most subs 200 rms over is no problem but that is 2/3 again the RMS rating on these so I was just wondering... Also, would you classify these as more spl or sq? I know it is probably not extremely high spl or sq but for the price you cant beat it... Im gonna be putting these in a 1cf per sub box with polyfil in it and pushed by either 300 or 400 RMS a piece... What kind …

    Well I placed my order on Dec. 4 and my order still has not shipped. I spoke with Shawn on Monday and was told it would ship out Tuesday or Wednesday it is Friday now and they are still not shipped. I have been very patient upto now. I was not quoted a time frame of this length at time of purchase. And I have been mislead on several occasions. I know they are busy but give me a date and stick to it. I wasn't expecting to wait two months for my subs that's not what I signed up for. Thanks, and any help having this issue resolved would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm probably going to get a Bl 15 soon so i was reading the "tech" section on the fi website about the BL's. One thing i didn't understand is why they said that they recommend getting the P-chamfer option when they don't even offer it for the sub as far as i know. If you look at the bl's that option does not show up.

    Hey guys, I am looking at getting 4x 10" woofers (hopefully from Fi) and it looks like I am stuck between the BL and the SSDs. I like the SSDs because they can be put in a smaller box, but I like the BLs beucase they have better performance than the SSDs. My question is how much better? I dont think currently I will be able to toss 8k watts at all four 10s like the BLs require, but I will be able to eventually. I have the electrical to back it up as well. I am trying to switch from a single 15 to 4 10s and have the ability to probably almost double my power eventually. I am pushing a single 3500D with a 350 amp alty and three huge bats.
