General Fi

Hello everyone, new to posting on this site. I just ordered a ssd 12" and a AQ1200d. I can't wait! My last setup was a pioneer champion pro 12" and i have read so much great stuff about Fi. I hope you guys are right! I drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma ext. cab so it should be pretty sweet. I'll be running it in a sealed box due to tight space and i like quick hits. I got it fully loaded with the H-Qts sealed option. I'm really looking forward to using Fi!

I am going to purchase a 15" Fi BL... mobileman is going to make me an enclosure roughly 3.8ft3 tuned at 30hz. i am going to power it with a cadence txa1000d which puts out 1000watts at 13.8 volts. what options should i get for this subwoofer? i want it to be as loud as possible with the tuning and amp i have. i honestly don't know what the options even mean.... P chmafer, cooling, flatwind, etc... etc... could someone explain the options to me? thanks.

just want opinions what do most of you guys use? I have them wired with 12 guage right now. Was wondering if it would really make any differance if i used 10 or 8 guage or would the 12 be fine?

lol this is a noob question but i dont know how to put on the sticker fi gives you when you get your sub. Do you just peel it off like a sticker and put of on or do you have to do something else?

hello, I have some questions about getting an 18 inch fi sub for everyday driving. I see that the Q line is built for SQ and has a hefty 27 mm xmax, but whats the real sound difference of a q 18 compared ssd 18s? and whats the freq response in a moderate sized enclosure for a Q 18? and does the 18s sound floppier than the 15s or do they have the same characteristics, but just move more air? Whats the magnet weight of the 18 Q? I know its a lot of questions HAha. oh and also what are the differences between Q and a BL that is customized for daily driving?

When i Had a problem about a month ago my Sub would make a burp sound once in a while and i was wondering if that damages the Sub

I really need to contact Fi about an order I had, and I got an Email back saying their inbox is receiving a lot of mail, so it will take awhile for them to reply. So if anyone could tell me another way to contact Fi i'd appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

anybody got any ideas for sealing up the space around my box going into the trunk

Ok so i dont know what to get. The one BTL 18 fully loaded that will be ran off of a SAZ-2000 Or a SAZ-3500. Or should i get the 2 BL fully loaded 18s ran off 2 SAZ-1500d.

I just ordered 2 recone kits for my FI BL 12's that are fully loaded from when FI was doing 4 inch voice coils in the BL's. I am trying to find out through FI if the recone kits i ordered can be offered with the 4 inch voice coil and if not will the recone kits i ordered work for my subs?? I left a note in the comments on my order but no response yet from FI.

Scott, i sent u an email about getting a recone kit for my BTl 18. i also sent nick and shawn an email about it but i never got any replies. im sure you all get tons of emails but its been a while since i sent those emails. if u could email me or post on here or something i can give you all the info of what i need and you can tell me how to go about payin you i would really appreciate it. my email is [email protected] AIM screen name is crabmaster596 please let me know something i need this sub reconed at least before June 22. id like to go to scrapin the coast with a BTL instead of my old XXX thanks

this great 12'' challenge review everybody seems to be talken bout?

so i have 2 18" fully loaded BTLs waiting to be put in with 2 2400 watt rms hifonics amps....1 amp for each sub... but i need to know how many batteries do i need ?? also what brand / model ?? also how many amps does the alternator need to be ... i know i need to upgrade the alternator.... what brand ?? where can i get the alternator ?? im not a beginner to car audio so i know a little about what im talking about this system is going in a 91 honda civic hatch btw

I just took 1st in class two weeks in a row with one 12" BTL fully loaded doing a 142.2 coming out of the trunk of my car. I rebuilt my box to 45 Hz instead of 33 Hz and gained 1 DB I think that we are going to wall of my trunk to try and get another 3 to 5 DBs out of it. Is any one else going to world finals for USACI in Omaha Ne this year or will I have to be the only one that represents FI this year? Also let me know what you think about walling off a 300.

hey guys, if you checked out my latest vid i posted a few days ago then you will know that people have been saying it could be hitting harder, but im confused here because on some songs the amp clipping light comes on so it would be sweet if people with more knowledge could help me out so if you guys could show me what the gains should be set to, to have the loudest possible beat that would be much appreciated here is the vid here are my current amp and H/U settings (the red dot next to each setting is where the gain is set to) Box = slot ported tuned to 32hz Amp = AQ2200d Sub = 18" BTL D2 Head unit settings Sub lvl = 13 (max 15) Bass lvl = 0 Tuned at 30 volume with 50…

Where can i buy two btl 15 motors and how much would they cost

Can you let me know if my 12'' Q arrived to you? UPS says it got there the 27th, I emailed you on the 30th to verify that is the case. [email protected] Nick Cowan 12'' Q with 2 broken tinsel leads

how much of a difference is there for output from a 12"btl to a 18",, i have a bl15 fully loaded and shes getting 900 rms, im debating on getting a btl and sell my bl15 but it would cost a lot to buy the btl and get a huge amp for it. should i just buy a bigger amp for my bl or get the btl, if the btl is really that good it ill save up and get it what yall think thanks.

As it states, this is just something I am curious to see. All would be in the optimum enclosures and tuned appropriately. I am curious how many pick sealed vs ported, size of the subs, etc. Again, this is all subjective and I am doing this out of curiousity to find out what the majority of you audiophiles would really go with. Lets say 1k watts per sub. optimum enclosure. trunk install. I am tryin to get ideas of what a general Fi user loves before I even start thinkin of my next setup.

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…

Hi I was just wondering how long you would typically have to wait for a recone kit to be shipped? I live in a Seychelles so had to get a third party shipper to order the recone kit for me, so I have no way of knowing how far in the process it is. I am just curious because I noticed a lot of people asking about their recones and would like to get mine before christmas. Thanks

hey im brand new to building and i just had a few questions. i've been trying to read up and take in all the material i can get my hands into online. i have a 2000 honda cr-v ex and im looking at getting either the BL15 or the BL12. i wanted to see what everyone thought would be better for an suv. i would be putting it in a ported rectangle box. and it also seems i would want to get the dual 1ohm but what else would i get that is optional? sorry for being such a newb haha. any help is appreciated. i just wanna have all my info done before i buy and ship it ot my house back in the states so i can come back from iraq and install thanks!

i think that this question will mostly be aimed at Scott....i recently purchased a "damaged" brahma mark II 12"(i think, no idea which is which but i am tol the mark II) that wasn't damaged at all really...just had to fix a bad glue joint and it works perfect now... 30 bucks and a 2 dollar tube of adhesive isn't too bad, but for my real question i bought it with the intentions of re-coning it to an 18" Fi Brahma Hybrid of some sort.... i was wondering if it could be done...or has it been done? i was thinking a dual 2 ohm coil with at least 1100 watts power handling... i still want to retain good sound quality also...not sure if i would want to do it ported or sealed thou…

Well i got rear ended the other day. And when I got hit, my subs slid backwards and into my amp rack. Luckily the only damage was a pretty effed up dustcap. its got some nasty cracks in it, and a hole about an inch in diameter. For now, I just slapped some good ol duct tape on it, But these are almost brand new and id like to keep em looking that way. I emailed Fi and they can send me a new dustcap, But I wouldnt know where to start in the replacement process. So if anyone can tell me how to go about replacing the dust cap, I would greatly appreciate it!
