    I just received my Fi/SX 12 hybrid in the mail. It looks awesome and ill be sure to get some pics up and a video soon. How long do you suggest i play it low before i turn it up? I have the gain about 1/2 way up right now. Just wondering how long before I can cut loose on this bad boy.

    i went to the local car audio store and one of the employees told me that 15's are unable to play very many rock songs because they "simply cant hit those notes, its impossible" he said. was this guy just feeding me a ton of bs to sell me his product or did he know what he was talking about? ( he also has never heard of FI ) ive had my heart set on two fi bl 15's but after that i dont know if i should reconsider and get 2, maybe 3 12's or even like 4 10's? ( kind of exaggerating, but not completely ) ive got a ford explorer so i have the room to fit this amount of subs.

    I'm going to be putting 2 loaded Fi BL 18's in a wall in my focus zx4. I was just wondering what configuration you guys think might work best: 1. subs side by side with port(s) in the middle 2. subs side by side with port on drivers side 3. subs side by side and port(s) on top ...and no I dont have room to do one on top of the other, with port on the drivers side. Thanks guys!

    I been to the Fi site and looked through the specs for my BL 15 and found 1000 watts rms. Is that a starting point? Do the subs handle more power as you add features, or do they just handle the 1k better.

    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…

    Just bought a SSD 15 with copper coil. Had it for about 3 weeks before i was able to give it some real power. Originally i had it on about 250 watts, and it sounded very well for that. I was surprised really. So then i match it with a good partner, hifonics 1608d Hooked everything up and man did that sub slam. I gave it all of its 800rms and then some. And it still wanted MORE! Played very very nice, the more power i gave it up to its power handling the better the SQ got for me. I didn't completely turn up my amp but everything i threw at the SSD it took it with pleasure, it handled everything nicely and as much as i turned the gain up there was no distortion at all…

    I have 2 SSD 12"D2s, copper coils, wired in series for an 8 ohm load. I am using them in my house and have them wired as such to use with my Carver PM900 amp. The Carver amp is rated at 900 watts rms bridged and while bridged will not handle less than 8 ohms, hence the series wiring for the SSDs. THIS SETUP SOUNDS FANTASTIC, loud, clean, very tight. The Carver has a power limiting switch which I have enabled that prevents the amp from going into clipping so I am not concerned with that. The subs are in a sealed box with a partition between the drivers at about 1.5 cubes each. My question is with the subs/coils wired as such does that increase the power handling beyond the…

    Are these parameters taken on the subs when they are freshly new or taken when the suspension has loosened up? And I am referring to Fi subs.
