General Fi

I am getting an enclosure built this coming friday. I was wondering what the optimal enclosure size would be. I want it tuned to 32hz after displacement. Should it be double baffled on the face? I plan on going with a hatchback style box (sub up port back toward trunk). I was offered the option of "milkshaking" the box (resin mixture inside to seal better), it is 50 dollars more for that, so I figure I don't really need it. The Sub: Fi Bl 15" Fully Loaded. Amp: saz 1500d. my trunk measures: 15hx33dx36w I measured height from the trunk bars, so if it can fit between it would be roughly 3-4 inches higher.

hi Guys, I havent posted here in a while, but i am in need of some guidance. I just ordered 3 hifonics BX1606d's or whatever the numbers are.... Now i have to order some subs, I can't decide between Q's and BL's. I have no idea what all the options are for on the bl's and if someone could explain all of them that would be awesome. I was planning on putting 1 of the hifonics on each, and i also need some advice on box size, tuning etc. SQ is not really a concern of mine, and i have made all the electrical upgrades to the car so everything will work with the power. The Truck is a 2001 GMC Sierra EXT cab, similar to the red one with the 4 15" SSD's in it. My other quest…

i need a little help with my set up. ok. I drive a 1998 cadillac deville, Phase linear uv8 head unit. Im getting a fully loaded 18" FI BTL and a rockfordfosgate T2000 amp. I have a yellow top under the hood. I will probly get a kicker 1/0 wiring kit or some other 1/0 wireing kit. What eles will i need??

alright so i just got my recone in for another one of my 18 btls i reconed them before but this time its diferent as you can see in the pic below it has 4 leads if thats what they are coming out the spiders on each side total of eight on each side how would i solder this on im use too just two on each side

Hey there, I would like some help with dimensions for a box for my SP4 18 subwoofer. The SP4 18 will be powered by a crescendo 3500D. I only have very limited space inside my trunk, but I want a ported box in every case and I want it tuned to 34 Hz. The maximum dimensions are: Width: 86 centimeters Depth: 47 centimeters Height: 65cm (I want to stay at max of 60 centimeters if possible) greetings

I'm looking to get a 15" SSD and was wondering what options should I choose. I read the sticky and know what they all do but want someone with experience for their input. What options should I get? I was thinking just getting the copper coils. I'm looking mostly for loudness but I do want to maintain some sound quality. I e-mailed FI but they haven't got back to me yet and I'm anxious to buy the sub.

Alright so my Recone kit for my BTL came from Fi Today, but its missing the most important thing, it has no alignment Jig, what do i do now? i have no way to align the coil in the gap properly, what do other people use for there recone

So I recently just ordered my two powermaster 925's 220amp alt and 0 gauge wiring kit. My question is how do I wire the new alt to the current bat I have now and from the one under the hood to the rear 2 Powermasters then into the amp? Reply's will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dover

Okay I just recieved my two 12" SSD with copper coils about a week ago. I purchased a very large sheet of mdf yestarday so I'm set with wood. I also just purchased a US AMPs XT4000D so I am also set on power. This is my first time building a box. I am going to be putting the box in the bed of my avalanche so I have a boat load of room. I was going to tune to about 32 or 33 Hz and do 2.5 cubes per sub. This box will be ported. If someone could provide me with diminsions that would be awesome!!! or even a plans. My friend who is going to be helping me build the box (he has experience building boxs) said he will help me. Thanks a lot if any of yall could help me!!!!!

ok so my order status has changed to awaiting fullfillment. I may be a dumbass for asking this but does this mean my sub is in the process of being built?!? Just want some clarity on the subject.

hey guys i need some help. i have a FI BL 15 fully loaded for daily for over a year now, never been pushed to it limit, running on about 1200watts, never turned the gain on the amp past the 75% ish mark and never had the receiver on max volume. it seems that some of the coppering windeings around the coil may have slightly seperated. the copper coil itself looks like brand new still not scorched at all from what i can see. i get no audio at all of the woofer , its just completly dead... : ( i loved that woofer too is there any reason y that would happen..? are there maybe any cheep fixes because unfortunatly i dont have the money to get a replacement at the moment. t…

Now me being me I just wanna 'keep up and surpass' him and Im gettin 2 BTL 12s with a Sundown 3500D but I dont have either yet.. Will my car still be louder? p.s.

After helping my father with my dying stepmother(cancer), she pasted away on July 9th, and I have been helping my dad with everything. But now I have time to spend helping Fi and Ascendant again. I'm sorry I was gone without a trace, but I was going threw the family thing. Im am back woriking for Fi and Ascendant on a part time basis, while going back to school. As soon as my Magnum SRT-8 demo vehicle is done, I will be going to dealers in the southern states. So just wanted to say "Hi" and "I'm back"!

I have money to order a Sub finally. I always seen videos of people fi btls breaking every part of their car. My friend has a JL audio w7 2x 12". Im looking to go bigger and better. Although upon purchasing a FI BTL , there are so many types and ' add-ons +$'. I dont know what to get I want 1x Fi Btl 15" in a 2002 Ford Taurus SES. Anyhelp? What amp? Anything?

Im new to car audio, is fi any good? or is it just some stuff some wv / va boys use?

2 10" SSD's off of 1200 watts, any benefit to adding BP power to them besides that i could add more power later? would it make the subs to stiff? would they not be as loud? would the add'ed cooling and spider make the sub's last longer? thank you for your time and, i hit 142.* with my 15" Q in a 2.8 cuft aero port box. it makes me happy wile sounding great. *bad white boy dance*

hey everyone. I know u here this time and time again but now it is my turn. just wondering if u have an e.t.a. on order number I-11365/00 it is probably getting close! My other question is: i have read one place to get the hixmcoil only on spl series, then another place said put it on the daily option. i bought a 15 btl with cooling, daily, hixmcoil, dual 1 ohm, and induct ring, with universal option. going into single 15 probox approx. 3.5 cu.ft. after displacement (is anybody using this prefab box). i will be powered by an audiobahn a2300hct amplifier 2400 watts rms. im going to hook up 2 15s to this eventually. depending on how 1 absorbs the power. i am als…

and it PWNS..........not even broken in yet and its amazing Thanks to Phill at Woodlawn Cabinetry for making me a 2.5 CF ported stealth box for my silverado I powered the Q with my an eD 9.1 and I am running some ADS 346 comps I picked up on a whim a few weeks ago powering them by my Diamond D5600.2(150x2) amp and I must admit the SQ makes me giggle while I listen to my fav tunes,this system I put together is my best yet right out of the box......The bass is tight and incredibly detailed,compared to my TDX its louder and clearer - This is exactly what I have been looking for and I couldent be happier - Keep up the good work Mitch

Hey Scott, I sent you an email about this but figured I might as well post here. I got some recones a few months backs and someone forgot to put gaskets in the package. I need those asap, three 12" gaskets. Thanks
