How many watts do i need to push a fully loaded 15" btl(daily)?

currently have 2 fosgate t1 12 and a bd 1000 had a kicker sx1250 and 2 l7 12s would 2 ssd 12 and the t1001bd louder than either of these? or are they about the same?

Just starting a thread for my new bass race system build. Here's a couple pics of one of the BL 18's....i like the one of it sitting next to the American Bass DX 12" (their budget sub). Hopefully I'll get started on the build soon.

I was wondering what the cost of a recone would be on 2 RE SE15s? Zip 52405. Thanks.

I searched but didn't get anything, maybe I didnt search the right thing. I've finally snagged a new engine for my prelude so, she'll be running again and I'm building a new system. I've decided on 2x12 Q's and I'm curious to if a Brutus 2000W mono can power two? I've always been curious how exactly subs share power to one amp? Do they see the same power or is it cut in half? or what? I can get the Brutus cheap at work so I don't know If I should run one 2000W or 2x1200W amps. So far the build will include Polk momo components and (not my choice of speakers but not too bad when you can get them for $130) Hifonics Zeus 4 channel Polk DB 6.5 Rears Probobly a Pioneer DEH690…

I have a 2007 hyudai accent hatch back. right now i have a 12" kicker L3 that has blown, and a kicker zx 400.1 amp (new) . what would be my best bet for a loud clean sub using the kicker zx 400.1. 12" SSD or 12" X (both fully loaded)?

Guys I saw a posts on another forum (i have been searching for the link somewhere) that they talked to an Fi audio rep and was told that the copper coil option increases RMS handling.... T or F Thanks

thinking about getting a motor + basket and wondering if there is any parts available for em? iirc , they had a 300wrms rating , anyway to bump that up a hundred watts or so? thanks.

Recently a memeber of ROE stated that someone (a dealer) was trying to sell him FI SSDs at an inflated price. When i saw this, it put a red flag up in my head. http://realmofexcursion.com/forum/showpost...amp;postcount=1 Its a place called "Pure Pressure Audio" in Gainsville Florida, I just did a quick google and it came up http://purepressureaudio.com/default.aspx "- Install by Step Harris of Pure Pressure Audio" was in his signature. So I'm assuming thats the guy who's trying to sell him the subs. And he said Step, so it seems to me someones trying to make a quick buck off FI

Ok Ive been designing my new system Ill be putting in this summer and for the amp I have chosen the Rockford Power T10001Bd to power a Fi Audio BL 15 and build a nice large ported box tuned low for it, but then I got bored and looked at the SSD 15 and saw it required less cu. ft. for a ported box and I could fit 2 of those 15s ported but would have to build seperate boxes for them because my trunk aint that big too put one big box in at once and I dont want to partialy build the box and have to finish it in the trunk, but another thing I dont know the final load of 2 Dual 1ohm subs are and if it did have a 1ohm load shuldnt the T10001Bd amp have enough power for both of t…

Ok, im looking into get a pretty nice system, but i cant decide on which sub to get.. 1. new orion hcca 15" OR 2. 1 fi btl 18 was going to run them on a hifonics BXi 2607D at 1 ohm.. what you guys think, im kind pressed for money.

Well it's time for a recone, beat the hell outta of my 15 d2 BL. Tensil leads snapped and burned up, oh well time to fix it lesson learned... I need some info on everything I need to order from Fi to get this done.. Like I said its a dual 2 ohm fully loaded..... I got mine back in February is mine a 2009 series? Can I recone it to a dual 1. Been Running a crenshendo 2250 @ 1 ohm...would I be better off going .5 if I can recone to dual 1?.. Thanks for all in put... Fi I must say you make a badass product yeah I clipped the living hell of this sub many many times , guess you can say I bottomed it out not 100 % sure but sounded like the dust cover smacking the vc 100's…

Now, before anyone tells me to read about the options on the Fi site, I'm just letting everyone know I did that. So know that I got that out there, I'm putting a 15 BL in a '93 Saturn SW2 in 4.35cuft@32Hz, and I was wondering what options would be best for me? I will be using this setup for daily driving and I listen to ALL types of music. Right now, I would be feeding this thing 600 watts, but will definitely upgrade to 1000+ in the future. I'm thinking that I will get the cooling upgrade for sure, but I wasn't sure about the flatwind coils. The reason I say this is because I'll be using 8 gauge speaker wire and was wondering if that will fit in the normal coils with…

went to chickens today after dropping my daughter off....there was a few people up there and of course they wanted a demo...........the boys from the Doja Clik were back up there too. Got some good footage and also a decent hair trick. Also filmed for like 10 seconds inside the house with the 7' towers bumpin. Tomorrow ill get the clean version up, old man dave is sleepin right now. Youtube will have to do until then xfHaiPDfK5U bE4mVivWsdo

Merry Christmas to you and yours, we're out of here until Monday. To all that are traveling, travel safe! Best wishes, Fi Staff

I took my sub (btl) out to test out another sub and then I notice it.....damn tensels ate into the spiders. I was wondering, do the new recones come with the tensels woven into the spider? And how much would it be shipped to austin texas 78741. I'll have to wait to get it but I AM A play this one out until it dies. kinda broke. thanks

This is somewhat of an extension of my other thread.... I decided to sell my Q15's to buy a pair of BTL's, but that would required alot more upgrades to my system (batts, alts, and bears oh my) This morning, while I was sippin on my coffee, I was thinking that I could ADD 2 more Q15's and an amp running around 4k-5k watts and keep it sealed. Yes, it would still put more stress on my electrical system, but I am more equiped to handle that ATM. I have dual batts and a 140 amp alt and lots and lots of 0awg. I also like the sound of the Q's sealed. They are so damn authoritive down low in a sealed sealed application. All my high scores are in the 35-38hz range, which I l…

What do you think? And my new Magnum Grill

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

Ok so im planning on running Stinger hpm 0 ga, with a audioque 2200d pushing a 12" btl in a 2.0 cu. ft. box tuned to 32 hz will be getting bigger soon got it cheap from a friend, and will be keeping my alpine cda 9883 hu for now, this setup will be in a 04 ranger edge with the 3.0, may take my old 4ga wiring from old setup to do big 3, mostly depending on how bad dimmage i have, is there anything ive missed or need to do other than that? Also i hear a lot about people "clipping" being a noob what can do to not let this happen so far ive had 3 audio setups and have had none blow dont wanna start with my btl! Thanks

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?

I have a single cab s10 and wana try out the ssd 10. Should I do ported or sealed and how much volume gives best potential. If ported where should I point the port? Floor, forward, ceiling

NOTICE: For the next week, there is going to be a delay on calls and emails due to Shawn going into major leg surgery as I type this. For the past 2 weeks he has been answering as many emails and calls as he can from his hospital bed. Due to this life changing surgery, he will be unable to get to all the emails and calls for a few days, so those who are wondering what is going on, please be aware of this and take it into consideration. If you know Shawn at all, keep him in your thoughts while he goes through this. Thank you.
