General Fi

Anybody have any sealed number for a Q? Preferably a 15. FI's site says that the Q is made for good SQ and output in a sealed box; but everyone I see puts it in a ported box and gives numbers that way. Even The Great 12" Challenge by on ROE only tested the Q in a ported box. I don't get it. -C

Ill be out of the loop to a certian extent during 06/30 - 07/08. We are setting up a new warehouse for Ascendant, getting production ready, holiday, and various other Fi shop upgrades during this period. We will still have staff at Fi building subs, but there will probably be an extra 2-3 days build time during this period. Most likely Sales@ and Scott@ emails will not be answered and will have an autoreply. Hate to do it... but Ill get back to them on 07/09. If it is an emergency, please post it to the forum or email [email protected] or [email protected] Thanks for your understanding and patience. Scott

Got around to building the box today for my BL15. Anywho on with the good stuff... Overall I'm really impressed with this thing. I like it alot. I will carpet it later I just wanted to get it in and start breaking it in. It wangs . --edit-- The 6" Aero is in the box as well. It's not sealed

hey guys, hope you all had a good weekend ! right now my BL is facing the rear and box is only out of .5 mdf because its all i had at the moment, but now im planing on puttin another layer on the sides,front and and top. Will that help with deepness and loudness? I know it stops the box from flexing a bit but dont know what that does for sound. as for the box facing rear, im planing on turning it around and hopefully sealing it off by putting two cut outs on the sides (one on each) going straight across. To fill in the gaps, is gorilla tape good ?

Anyone care to show off the new BTL? :]

I've seen a few different ways to wire a DVC sub in parallel. but which way is right? Here are a few diagrams that I have found online: Everything Car Audio: Single DVC Subwoofer wiring Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker Are either of these ways right or wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am currently running two Rockford T15's off a Rockford T20001at 4 ohms. I'm thinking about getting 2 15" Fi subs and run the amplifier at 2 ohms. What pair off 15" subs should I get, BL, Q's, or SSD's? Also what options should I get? Thanks

My friend has two SI MAG 12's and the same amp as I do, my question is, which sub are the mags more comperable to in output, the BL or the BTL (Both fully loaded) So would I have to go with the 2 BTL's to be louder or would the BL's match the mags? Thanks for the help =]

Will four eD nine.1s amps be enough power to push 4 BL 18s. Btw what is the minimum air space required ported per sub?

I'm looking to try a new driver in my home theater and after hearing nothing but good stuff about Fi I think its time to give them a try. I am considring the Q15 or Q18. The enclosure is sealed with a net volume around 7 cubic feet. The amp is a Face F1200TS and I will run the sub off of one channel leaving the other channel free for a second sub in the near future. I have a dcx2496 in the chain between my Marantz 7002 and the Face amp. I am open to suggestions if anyone has an opinion of a different Fi driver to try.

I promised a review of the Fi X series for those of you who are thinking about ordering some of the remaining stock. First here are a few pics:

do i need to send the driver back to vegas or can i order recones and do it myself?

I have a 1992 Mazda extend cab and currently I'm running 6 type R 12's. All sealed. I want to run 2 18's in a ported enclosures. What series should I get? I have been told by Scott I should use the Q's. I'm using 2 Mtx Ta7801's and I'm going to get my 3rd in a couple of months. I only have about 12 to 14cbft to work with. I was wondering should I just get 1 of the Bl's? Run all 3 amps to it?

Hi, I was very interested in having Fi rebuild my tc-3000 I dont know what re-cone kits you all have available or any specs on them. I would much rather deal over the phone if possible. It is a tc-3hp motor with the quick swap basket. It is 15" and I would like it to remain 15" the box I am using is 2.94 cubic feet tuned to 34 hz with 56 square inches of port. I would like the re-cone to be able to handle around 1500 watts at 1 ohm. What do you all have available, what are the prices, and would I have to send it in to you? Would I use my existing basket or would that need to be replaced?

HI im a newcomer to fi i wanted to know wich fi speaker would be best for me. i am a daily driver no competions and i listen to everything. Somone told me to get the bl but wanted a wider opinion!! ps. i have a regular cab truck and i seen ppl put em behind the seat wat is the debt counting speaker and box ( dont trust spec. from past experiences)

Just wondering how much it would cost for this sub shipped to Hawaii. The zipcode is 96789. According to the site the sub would come out to $319 shipped to the 48 states configured accordingly: Quantity: 1 Name: BL12 Item number: 0021212 Unit price: $319.00 Amount: $319.00 Ohm:dual 2 P Chamfer:no Cooling:yes +$40 Flatwind: yes +$20 Daily or SPL: Daily Extreme Lead:yes +$5 Universal:yes Amount: $ 319.00 Total: $ 319.00 Thanks for your help!

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.

Well today i recieved the Dustcap for the Fi X 10 i was going to write a review on, (thanks Scott) and went out to the garage to glue her on so i can get some listening in tomorrow. Welli get out there and my CA glue is rock solid, i havent used it in probably a year so i guess it was time for it to harden up. So i guess i gotta wait now til i can make it down to Hobbytown or somethign to get some glue, as i dotn wanna play it at all without the dustcap because that wont be a "fair" review. Thanks again for the dustcap and the decals Scott, i'll be sure to post up my thoughts when i get it together finally lol. Also whats the price a Fi X 10 goes for normally so i can kn…

i just recieved my FI Q 10 and i am currently looking at a sealed box with .65 cuft before sub will this be ok? i am pushing 1100 w to it easy on the gain. any help or opinions would be appreciated

i was wondering if they could do a 18" BTL with dual 4 ohm vc

Hey everyone. i am new to the forum and just wanted to say hi to you all. I just ordered my first Q sub-woofer ever and I hope it is as good as people say. However, I went through the Paypal order process and have emailed Scott, but I did not get a reply back. Has anybody heard from him lately, I hope I just didn't throw 270 bucks into no mans land. Additionally, I am still up in the air on my set up. Should I utilize a single Q12 in a ported box or dual D12's in a sealed box. I plan on running a NINe.1 amp on both setups. Additionally, I am finding it very difficult to find ported sub woofer enclosure for the required specs of the D12, any help in this matter woul…

I entered the first carshow in Labuan Malaysia with 2 15Q powered with 2 Revo 1500.1 amp. It was supposed to be a car audio show (that was what I have been told) where lots of insallter and shops joined to show their gear. Anyway enough talk and with the pics.... classic car http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...=DSC_1273-1.jpg http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...nt=DSC_1275.jpg http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...nt=DSC_1086.jpg http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...nt=DSC_1084.jpg Fancy bike http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...nt=DSC_1252.jpg http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/wy...nt=DSC_1248.jpg http://s161.photobucket.com…

hey, i am curious as to why some people want to recone one size sub with another size, like 18 reconed like a 15. I have seen numerous threads about this and am just very curious as to what this accomplishes in the end. Thanks

Just wondering if i can get a flat dish style dustcap with my 15" RE SE recone. I'm not really into the "boob" style dustcaps as they blow off too much lol. Also what is the power handling with the integrated leads and d2 ohm flatwind coil?

so i got my new btl 18 and i love it. I was not expecting it to have so much output but still keep its sound quality. Love it guys so keep doing what you do. So here is the box i built for it this last weekend. 7 cubes with disp tuned right round 34 htz. Most corners 45 with fiberglass with double baffle. The sub is ran off a Hifonics gx3000, and the set up is in a 1998 chevy astro... more 18s to come soon
