    I plan on purchasing 2 12" Fi BTL's and I plan on having 2 Rockford T2500.1bd amps pushing each 12. Is that too much power for these subs. They are going to be daily subs and keep in mind that i will not be pushing them to the limits too see what they can handle...but I recieved a good deal on both. PLEASE HELP FELLOW BASSHEADS!!!

    I plan on buying 1 18'' Fi.BL with these options:dual 2 ohm,cooling,flatwind coil,daily option.Hooked up to a US Amps MD1D thats 1200 rms at 1 ohm.the BL's handle 1000 rms do you think the bl can handle the whole 1200 rms from the amp?I love loud bass but want it to hit low notes as well so what should i tune it to? With a ported box from 6-9 cubic ft. BTW just for a lucky guess how much db will I possibly b hitting will it be over 145db possibly 148db-149db.is that loud? Please answer all my questions. P.S. I found the US Amps MD1D for just 209.00 is that a good price or is it the base price? Also how good are US Amps from a 1/10? Are they better than Kicker and Hifonics…

    Hey guys, new to the forums here. I want to place an order for a sub (18" BTL) but the dilema is that I live down under in australia.... I have already emailed FI and got details on the shipping, which they actually do ship out here WHICH IS GREAT!, thank you FI!, and the cost for shipping the beast of a sub is $281 >_> which is cool by me cos its worth it to get the sub lol, so I emailed them again asking whats the best way to do this, but havent recieved a reply,, are they really busy or something because of the holiday season?. and their email is always full and have to send it to orders@... instead of sales@... so yeh thats pretty much it, thanks guys.

    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.

  19. Started by accordwithbass,

    So im upgrading my system again, I first had 1 Q 15 sealed with the High qts option, then I wanted to go ported, so I bought another Q 15 with high QTS to be the exact same as the first sub. Im now going to rebuild my wall and run 4 FI Q 15s (later ill probably SP4s) the next 2 subs I get will have all the same options as the other 2 but should they still have High QTS since im running ported? I know high QTS is not optimum for vented enclosures, but should they all be the same when it comes to QTS?

    Does anyone out there have an idea as to when these drivers are going to be in production. I contacted Fi two months ago and they told me it was a month away and they would be at a new web site blueprintdrivers.com. It has been quite a long wait and I'm starting to think that I might just go a different route. One can only wait so long before you start to look else were. I hope someone can give me some hope to hold out just a little longer. Thanks
