General Fi

I am looking for more SQ than anything, with some good output of course. I plan to run an old school Linear Power 8002SW to two of these possibly. Would they be underpowered? If you are not familiar with this monster of an amp then please do not respond.

is 1100 watts at 2 ohms too much for a 12in d1 ssd? with bp power.

I have had my 12" BTL for over five months now. Around 4 months ago, i started hearing a poping noise on certain high notes. My first thought was that the box it is installed in caused the sub to reach its mechanical limits. The enclosure is 3 cubes after displacement at 34 hz. I know that this box is over the recommended specs, but i am only giving the sub 1000 watts from an Alpine PDX 1.1000. The sub is fully loaded and i have never heard any clipping out of the amp. When i noticed the popiing noise, I turned my amp gain down to around an eighth of a turn from zero. This gave me very little bass, but it kept the sub from poping so i was satisfied until i could fin…

Loaded BL, ~1900 watts, umm wtf how this happen? And how do I fix it?

Sold my Current system this pas week, along with a old fender amp, and cashed in some savings bonds, brought me out to 1124$ I have spent about an hour to 2 hours picking out what I'm gonna get and I've pretty much narrowed it down after looking over multiple options and I've finally got it down pat! Subwoofer: Fi BTL 18" fully loaded Amp: Massive Audio P1500.1 3000W Class D Pro Series Amplifier Capacitor: SPL CP5.0 5 Farad Capacitor In all left me with 179$ which, I honestly didn't think I would come out with that speaking shipping etc. So, I'm hoping to use that to buy a box or have one made, so tell me what you think!

I have seen a couple old threads about these 22 inch subs but I have not read anything of them in the last few months. Did they ever come out? Also what were their specs, price, etc...?

Well im not sure what to choose SPL or Daily on a BTL. I want to find a sub that i can Use for Daily and SPL. Does the SPL setting sound like complete ass on music or is it not to bad? Is the daily still pretty good for competing? My woofer is great for daily but not good for competing unless i buy another since its dual 6 ohm. and im a single set up guy. Anyone compete with the daily setting? Anyone listen to music with the SPL setting? thanks

Alright, so months ago I blew my subwoofer. It was still under Fi's one year warranty though so finally, on December 2nd, I sent it in for warranty repairs (with all proper contact information and everything filled out). I contacted Fi shortly after this inquiring how long it might take for them to get the subwoofer back to me. However, this question was not even answered and I simply received back something along the lines of them saying they were very busy and had not even had a chance to look at warranty items (which was understandable considering my sub should have just arrived there maybe a few days before this and since it was right before Christmas). Now here's whe…

I have been looking around and I was curious to see some pictures inside the FI facility? Scott or Nick do you have any cool pics of the place? I think it would be cool to see it.

soo i have looked all over and i cant figure out how i should wire my sub to my amp.. i have a rockford fosgate t3001bd and a fi btl 18 fully loaded.... should i do it one ohm and how would i wire my sub and amps down to one ohm.. ohms are extremly confusing to me edit- and my sub is dual 2 ohm

The Fi BTL subs are amazing! I don't know if it is the new head-unit I have or the new amplifiers but WOW. It is amazing how tight the sound is compared to my old setup. My old equipment had a hard time keeping up with fast bass tone - changes and sounded a little mushy. I don't know if it is because I am running a higher ohm rating and therefore the subwoofers have a little more control, or if because I am pushing with 1 amplifier and pulling (180 switch) with the other, or if it is because my source unit is just THAT much better with the signal or what but - I am truly impressed with how good musically the subwoofers are. How clean and tight the sound is. Fast or …

Hmmm...What could this be?? New Sub From Fi? I think so...But how big? This Big... I have a Shoe Size 15-16 Should have it up and running either friday afternoon or saturday morning...

Hi its me again i have another question about what amp should i get for my fully loaded btl not so expensive or who was a btl 18 and what amp are they using thanks.

The 2010 FI Q 10" just arrived. It is definitely heavier than I was expecting but looks really good. I guess I can start building my custom sealed box soon. I haven't figured out how I will attach a grill to it yet. The 28mm Xmax and the fact that the cone sits higher than the lip will produce a challenge to protect the subwoofer. The only thing that pissed me off is that FI shipped the subwoofer using UPS. $60US shipping to Canada and then $92CAN for Brokerage and Customs. This is why I try and get everything via USPS.

I was just wondering how backed up you were.... I know it took almost no time to get 2 sets of bl's 3 months ago. Was wondering if it could possibly be the same this time around . I did email, and no reply. But no worries, same thing happens to emails I receive. Some info would be appreciated... thanks BTW.... order email is [email protected].

ok guys im in houston and need a custom box. got a f150 single cab and have a 12 bl. specs say at least 1.8cuft. went to frys electronics and those idiots wanted to charge me 450 for a ported wedged box. thats a ridiculous amount of money. and then they have never heard of Fi car audio. so i was like man i need to leave this place. if ur in houston and know of a place where i can get a good ported box please let me know. really wanna start bumpin by beggining of summer

Please Send me your Videos of your Fi Subs. Any and everyone you have. Please tell me the Specs of the system. Sub, Amp and Box... Thanks guys...

Anyone want to post experiences with each model, how much power, results? exc. I want an n3 like a crack head needs his fix. Seems like the BTL is what really put Fi on the map as far as spl and woofer building respect. When all this was happening I had bought my first pre-09 Q motor.

well... I got a motor here (lmt motor) and it was sent to me unmagged.. can fi magnetize it for me? what would be the cost? dont need a recone or anything.. just this. thanks

Do you guys offer recones of any older Destijl subs? This one in particular is a Blueprint 1001. It doesn't have to be exact but I would like it back in working condition.

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…

so whenever you have to install a big 50+ lb woofer by yourself in a trunk you strain the crap out of your fingers and usually need a helping hand. I remember installing my gen 2 and taking a nap right after from being exhauated. The reason im bringing this up is the square (rectangular whatever) motor of the N2 really makes it nice to handle solo: I still have to clean up a bit and put my backseat back in but i at least got to drive around a bit to give it a listen. Initial impressions, compared to the gen 2 in a similar enclosure are just that it comes alive at a lower volume than my gen 2. Its obviously still virgin tight so ill have to loosen it up a bit. Nice to …

Thanks to Godsmack, I found a new place to go which is much much cheaper than the place i would normally go to and although its longer millage wise, its a short trip time wise and much easie to get to as its in podunk and not the middle of a city. So i set up an appointment for tomorrow.. I just have a couple questions... What tones should I bring? Sine waves or what have you.. And do you guys normally do it with your speaker amp off or on?

so i have decided to go with fi subs and audique amps for my next setup. it will be going in a 99 grand prix gtp. budget is 1500 for the bass setup. it will be playing mostly hard rock and metal, with a little rap on the side. goals for this system are mostly output, i obviously don't want it to sound like complete crap, but the main goal is output. also this is my daily driver, no comps for me. so after a little background info on what i'm looking for, back to the root question... which setup would have more output? option 1: 4 fi ssd 12's running on an audioque 3500 option 2: 2 fi btl 12's running on 2 audioque 2200 plan was to go ported to 33 hz on either option. opt…

I have been a fan of Fi for a while now and want to put a system in my 07 corvette. I will have enough room in the hatch for 2 12" subs but I am unsure of which ones to buy. I will listen to hip-hop and rap music. I will dynamat the entire car also before the install. I want the bass to be louder than piss, yet still maintain the highest level of cleanliness. I dont like bass that gets distorted when it is turned up. Which would be the best sub to go with? I guess this could also mean, if i get the BTLs can they be tuned to be super clear and very responsive. I will never put this in a competition unless its in a parking lot with a buddy and a couple friends watchi…
