General Fi

Right now i have my 18 bl in a ~6 ft^3 box (before port and sub disp.), tuned to 34 hz with a 3.75 x 20.5 in port (was supposed to be 4 inches, but i had a lil cutting error ). Anyways, i'd like to try a few different boxes, some higher, some lower, some smaller, some bigger. Fi has 30 hz as the lowest recomendation, and i'd like to see what the people who tuned to around this (or people who have heard a bl tuned to this) thought about it. They also have 37 hz as they're highest, so have any of you tuned to that, if so, how'd you like it? I realize a person who tunes to 30 hz is going a different path than someone tuning 37 hz, but i'd just like to see how each individu…

So I was checking out some more vids of systems today and being bored, and realized how many people have switched over to a woofer designed by Scott, mainly Fi. It seems everyday new videos are being broadcasted with Fi woofers tearing apart daily vehicles, along with competitions being won on local and championship levels. My question to everyone on this forum is, "are we living during the era of the God of Bass?" Just begin to look around the web, I believe the victor is clear. Scott Atwell is the God of Bass. Just want to acknowledge Scott and everyone at Fi for all the hardwork, I know as Fi has been growing I'm sure your hours have been too. Keep up the great …

I am plannin on probably going with FI for this venture. It is going in the trunk of a Dodge Charger SRT and will be set up according to what goes in there (i.e. plexiglass or not, ports, etc). Just gettin some opinions with this one. It will also be a daily driver. I listen to everything, literally, so I am open to what you guys think.

I would like to listen to a couple of these subwoofers before buying (Q10 and Q12). Is there a dealer locator I can reference, or is there an opportunity to listen at the HQ in Vegas (going there in a few weeks for business)?

Blew my Soundstream T4 15" and was wondering if Fi can recone this? i can get pics if necessary. and how much would that run me approximately?

Wait! I just ordered my FI.Q12. This will be the first time I've had a sub in my car since I was 17 an I'm 23 now. I am more into SQ now though. So I hope my Q 12 and pdx-1.1000 sounds good.

last sunday at a comp hosted by doug stockton of sonicfx, i metered my car with 2 btl 15s loaded and 2 orion 2500d. db drag i only got 147.9 (not too happy with that score) bassrace i got it up to 147.2 i was happy with my bassrace score. the thing that was amazing was the subs never lost its sq when i was hitting 147.2 playing music. it sounded clean and didn't lose control. very amazing subs.

Im still waiting on some recones, you said you might have been able to ship them a week or two back. Shoot me an email at [email protected]

hello fi. audio can u help me choose a sub for my 2005 tiburon hatchback. ill be running one jl audio 1000v2 plus i was thinking about a ported box firing up with 2-10 or 2-12 or mayby 1-15.this is the space i have to work with 14-in (H)X16(D)X34(W)

i have a dodge magnum. i see alot of people building boxes that have the subs firing up and the port towards the rear. ive never heard a car/truck with the box like that. ive always used rear face rear firing boxes. is there a difference? is it noticable if so?

Would the BTL be worth the extra 200 dollars or should I just go with the BL?

i have kept in contact with FI about my sub and so far i have been receiving prompt emails. the last email i sent was about 2 and a haf weeks ago, and was told they were waiting on the steel but they should have received it within 2 days. i figured since i ordered a shirt and some decals that may be the issue? i decided to post on here incase there are other users still waiting. please dont take this as a bad review towards your customer service because i am content with the prompt email responses. i just like keeping in touch, so i wont end up waiting 10 months like other users due to miscommunication

Ok so i have a 2002 chrysler 300m. i want to get one 15" BL but i dont kno what kinda electrical upgrades i will need. i dont have alotta money to be jus spending so if i dont need somethin i rather not get it. so what do i need to get and i want to get a MB Quart DSC 2000.1D. i need to kno how much each will cost so if u cud help me with all this, itd be great. Thank u so much.

Is a Fi 15 SSD louder then 2 alpine type R 12's?

so i noticed a lot of you on here are very well educated when it comes to systems in cars (ie doing it yourself). where/how did ya'll learn all this stuff? was it just trial and error pretty much? reason i ask cause i really would like to learn and dont have enough time to go to a school for it. read two "eh" books but want tons more info and want to learn more.

What is better, and what is louder, an 18" BTL or Solo-x, if they were both at the maximun power they could handle?

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*

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!

I have 2 18 inch ssds dual 1 ohm with 2000 watts series parelell with the hifonics 2006d and when i turn it up i get a real strong glue smell. My gain is only just past half with the bass boost at 10 O' clock and i tried a couple different 1 ohm wiring diagrams, is it the smell of the box or are my coils burning?

can Fi recone a 12" Eclipse Ti to a 15"? not too sure what motors are on em

Bought my sub second hand and need a recone. How do I tell the difference between '08 & '09 BL models. I have a 15".

hey i was wondering how much will it cost to recone a re mt 15

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?

I've made a couple of these threads but I recently picked up 2 Rockford T1500's for a steal. Now I'm definately close to purchasing 2 15 BL's and just curious what the experts have to say on this. I'm thinking since they are RF's they are going to be rated a bit higher rms, so how will that go along with the BL's? Also, what reccomendations do you have when it comes to wiring these? It says they arent bridgable, but can I still make this work? Pretty clueless when it comes to amps/wiring and all that. Thanks for all your help guys.
