    Anyone know how much it would cost. I just emailed [email protected] about it. I'm so frustrated with this sub! I bought it from someone and it was making a wierd noise when he pushed on it and he put glue on it and it went away. But when we hooked it up it made a wierd noise when it played. He told me to put some glue on the spider in the center where it connects to the cone and I did that but it still didnt fix the problem. So I turned my gains on my MD2 down to where the sub played fine without it making the noise which was pretty much all the way down and used it from there. On the way to work today it stopped playing so I thought maybe the sub froze because it …

    Hey guys, Well as expected, when I got home from school there was a present waiting for me from Fi. Customer Service First off, I would like to thank Scott, Nick, and all the guys "behinde the sceens" at Fi. They helped me from the day I wanted an Fi, untill the day it as on my doorstep. Although they are very busy, they still make sure you get your questions answered. 10/10 A+ Shipping/Packaging As expected, Fi is very busy with their evergrowing popularity. My 2-3 day rated build time took about 7 days. When it did come, the packaging was great. The sub was not going anywhere with the blue hard foam (see pics), and it was very secure. Box was not damaged at all, and o…

    Hey guys, Since I will be recieving my 15" SSD + flatwind pretty soon, I figured I would make an enclosure this weekend. It is 35x15.5x21, 3.5 Cuft tuned to 33hz. It was a 2 day, 5 total hour job, but not bad for a 16 year old making my first ported box. And now the pics: Day 1 Various angles of box all put together, screwed, and cauked. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/593/sub...erbox063oi0.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/2065/su...erbox065jl1.jpg http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/754/sub...erbox064bt2.jpg http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4791/su...erbox067qi5.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8339/su...erbox067zj5.jpg Day 2 Carpeting Sides: http://…

    I was wondering if anyone has managed to put one or 2 15" FI audio subs in an extended cab ranger. I have a 95 that I would like to upgrade. I currently have 2 Jensen competition series 12's in a deathbox II and its just not enough for me. I have seen 15" subs in rangers before, but I would worry about fitting a big enough box so they sound nice, and FI subs seem to need slightly larger boxes than some other 15s BTW, If anyone is selling USED amps or subs that are in good shape, I would love to know!

    Hi, i currently own the Q15s w/BP. The SQ is exellent but i would like more output. I have heard BLs dont get a lot louder than the Qs and the BTLs are way louder than both. My question is... Would the BTLs get louder than the BLs on 1500 watts. I dont see anyone running a BTL on 1500 watts. Also, the amps im running are MTX TA8001 1500 watts at 1 ohm (birthsheet says around 1900 watts at 14.4 volts so im might be getting around 1700-1800. Thanks Keith

  11. What's up everyone! So you guys are probably used to me posting stuff on Team Sundown Russia with everything being pretty much 100% Sundown gear with a few Skars or Obsidian thrown in to the mix. This time we went a little out of our way to pick up some awesome Fi BTL n2 12's (Thanks Scott! thanks Am!!) here we are unboxing, busting balls over how stiff the spider pack is and generally bullshitting in Russian We plugged them into our in-shop Audi A4 sedan, which has lately become our test mule for just about anything we can get our hands on. It's not sealed off, subs forward, 6" port firing to the side....it's usually used for door open demos at meets and what no…

    So i just recently bought 2 15in BL Dual 2 subs with the cooling package and i have 2 questions... 1) Now im usually pretty good with this buuuuuuut I'm guessing that Dual 2 means that i can only wire the subs at either 2 ohms or 4 ohms... 2) If I can only wire it down to 2 ohms what amp should i use? ive been looking and looking and the only amp that i could really find to push em was the Power Acoustiks 5500 BAMF series amp that puts out 2500w rms at 2ohms Any answers/ suggestions would be nice... THANKS

    My system is going to be for daily driving , I have both my amps, both my subs, and my box is on the way. Ive heard alot of conflicting replies though about the amount of power im throwing to the BL's. They are RF1500's but the birth sheet rates them at about 1700, so pretty much each sub will get around that much if my electrical is good enough. My question is, will the loaded BL's be able to take this daily?

    well i have a 18" btl dual 1 ohm fully loaded daily sub. i know this sub will rattle the hell out of my 86 Monte but how will it do with music sound quality. she will be in about 5-6 cubes at 32hz. and powered at 2300 rms. now would i be better of switching out my 2 of my 6.5's on the doors for a set of components and then the other to 6.5's for a mid bass. i also have 3.5's in the dash 4x10's in the rear deck and a set of 6.5's in the rear interior panel. so i would think with those speakers i could get a good sounding system and turn the bass down low. if my thinking is flawed sorry.

    I was talkin to a box builder last night...He gave me some good advice. My main goal is a LSQ system...He said go with a FI Q 18...i was like have you heard one...he said yeah...in a sealed box. He said it would sound better than the same woofer in a ported. This is what he relayed to me from an installer friend of his. I was like ok... He said go 18 inch Q sealed 4 cu ft.....i was like how bout 7 cu. ft ported tuned to 30 hz... I was thinking would it make a BIG NOTICABLE differance on an 18 inch Q...in those box dimensions...its an 18inch sub...thats pretty big... or should i go with the 15...?(for LSQ)
