    Hey guys hows it going? I was hoping that ya can help me out. I currently have a daily/SPL setup in my car. I am bumping a pair of Kicker L7 12s with a Alphasonik amp that is feeding them a 1,000 watts each rms. I love my subs but I feel that I need to upgrade. My subs work great in the USACI lanes and I have gotten a offical 148.5 db with them. But I can not use them for daily use. After about 10 -15 I start to smell burnt coils ( Kicker L7s are only rated at 750rms each). So I am looking to get a pair of 12" BLs. My qustion is; what options should I go with in making this sub? Can I use my current box? It is tuned to 30hz and 4.5 cubic ft for each sub. I am not a hardc…

    So I've been bumping two American Bass XD 10's powered by a mmats 1400.1 amp. I think I just burned up one of the subs so I obviously want to replace. I want something louder. My system hit 153.2db and that's with two 10's. I like American Bass's products but the VFL's are 1500wrms each and I don't want to buy another amp. I'm looking at the Fi subs and specifically the IB3 12's. Anybody have them? They're 50wrms each more then XD's (500wrms each). The amps 1400wrms @ 1 ohm so I don't want anything that's more then 650wrms each. Reccomend another sub? Thanks =)

    Im looking at purchasing two BTL15's and I'm leaning toward the Sundown amps. The SAZ-3000D is rated at 3000RMS and I've read that it's underated at that. Is this amp too much for a fully loaded BTL15. I plan on strapping two 3000D's to two BTL15's at 2ohms which should be 3000w per sub.

    Alright Ive heard nothing but good things about you guys, and going to start saving up for my system and plan it out now. I have a 1993 camaro. Now my biggest dilema is my trunk, they are fudgeed in camaros.. I want a system with a little of box SPL and LOUD SOUND QUALITY... I want it to hit pretty damn hard and hit lows...but I also want decent sound quality. My choice right now is either between 2 12 BLS or Q's... Now if I can find anyone to build me a box or give me a design with dimensions for a camaro trunk ill go ported. But for now im stuck buying a box from these guys which only come sealed with 1.0ft per sub for 12s. http://www.subthump.com/acamarowell.htm And w…

    i'am planing on buying a FI Q. i' am just worried because i will ship it to another country and i might have trouble with it if it has a defect or when it gets broken. does FI get this kind of problem? wherein the costumer returns the subs because it has a defect? or you just get this once in a while?

    Hey, I'm planning on buying a 12'' Fi Q sub, and I was wondering what type of box would be good for me... I have a polk/momo c500.1. I was planning on getting the dual 1ohm to run 500rms to the sub. I'm looking for good SQ(obviously why I'm getting the Q) but I want to be able to feel that chit in my back if I want to, lol. It's going in an older 4DR BMW. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. If you need anymore info, I'll answer as best I can.

    First post go easy -just kidding you can be brutal if needed. I have been curious as to the Fi product and have always wanted to hear and see 3 12's across the rear seat opening of my mazda 3 06 there is enough room and the boxes are built. you build it they will come. I am not happy with my box size but well in range at 1.1 ish after displacement each, there are 3 seperate boxes it was the only way to get in. I may redo the boxes to achive more like 1.3-1.4 after displacement but unsure as of now. each sub will have a 1000 watt amp on each. i plan on crossing over the middle sub at 80hz range and the 2 outer subs at a lower hz to be determined maybe around 40-50 hz to c…
