  1. Ok, I need some help. I've decided to get an 18" Fi BTL for my expedition. I have no idea what to power it with.....Sundown? Kicker? what?.... I'm kinda indecisive on the amp because I know its recommended for around 1500rms , but we all know they can handle more. And I want more Safely, do you think I should go with some 3000 watt amp - such as the Saz-300d ? Also, with a 150amp alternator, can I get by with two yellow top batteries? Or should I get a 240amp alternator? And if I do get the upgraded alternator, will I still need a battery in the rear?

    I was just wondering if anyone has ordered a Fi recently and what the shipping time was like. I ordered mine on the 7th and was hoping to get the build done over spring break which is the 16-20 for me. Thanks

    Hello everyone, new to posting on this site. I just ordered a ssd 12" and a AQ1200d. I can't wait! My last setup was a pioneer champion pro 12" and i have read so much great stuff about Fi. I hope you guys are right! I drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma ext. cab so it should be pretty sweet. I'll be running it in a sealed box due to tight space and i like quick hits. I got it fully loaded with the H-Qts sealed option. I'm really looking forward to using Fi!

    Scott, Can you please check your mail client for the subject containing order ID "I-10840/00"? Sorry I'm just not sure how else to get in contact with you, and I know you're swamped catching up.. It's in regards to shipment of my order. It's important due to reasons in my e-mail that I receive it Friday or earlier. Normally I wouldn't be so anal about it, but was told 2-3 day build time, as well as an e-mail from you last week telling me that it would be shipped Thursday or at the latest, Friday. We're now nearing the end of the 6th business day for build time, but I'm willing to do what it takes to get it here on time, like splitting expedited shipping with you. Would re…

    Hey Scott, or anyone who can answer the question. I'm interested in retrofitting my 12" Q with the compression plug. How much power can I safely send it after the fit? It's doing with with ~1200w right now. Do I need an RA number or anything to send it back? Also, what would the turnaround time be from date of arrival? I understand you guys are still trying to get things back on track.

    I am considering a Q12 for an IB install in an 84 El Camino. I have a Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1 that should make 850rms. if I have the sub modded for IB use is this a good choice. I listen to just about everything from techno to metal and some bass music

    Greetings all, I'm in need of a single new 12" sub for use with my current amplifier and sealed box (daily driver), and was wondering if any of the Fi products would work nicely. Amp: Phoenix Gold ZX500 (rated at 600RMS bridged, 4-ohm load) PG websites states the amp may be underrated by 5 to 15% - so maybe closer to 700RMS? Box: Audioformz monoGlass12 sealed fiberglass at .95 ft^3 Other: Factory electrical system, with the addition of a useless 1-farad stiffening cap. Enclosure located in trunk of a small sedan, facing rear corner. Partially open rear deck. Interested in either the Fi Q or Fi SSD 12" in dual 2-ohm configuration, but not really sure if any of the option…
