General Fi

Hey guys. I just wanted to know if a Q10 w/BP would sound comparable to a Q12 wo/BP?

I finally designed my box and had Digital Sound in Miami, FL put it together for me. I ripped out my back seat (sorry kids) and barely got this monster box in, lol. We had to take out the side panels and both front seats to get her in there. This is by far the loudest setup I have ever had (specs below). I just need to clean up the wiring a bit in the back and do a few cosmetic adjustments, but you can get the basic idea Hope you likey. 3 Fi Audio Q15 Box is 10.2 cuft Tuning is @ 32hz DC Auido PAI-2000.1 @ .75ohm HU: Soundstream VIR-7840bt Stinger Alt coming soon Fostgate mids n highs Evolution 125.4

are they specific break-in instruction for the SSD? What is the procedure. Will they come with the woofer ? In the reviews i noticed they sound better over time. Is this typical as things start to loosen up and get moving?

Todays really my lucky new year's day...I check my email then I saw Fi has sent me the tracking information through the UPS..Thank you so much guys Luv ya all

I've had a family member offer to give me two identical Cliff Designs amplifiers from one of his old setups when I mentioned that I plan to get a Q12 setup going. I had previously been looking at a Hifonics HFi1500D. He is rather insistent. As I don't want to offend him, I'm wondering how practical it is to use one amplifier per voice coil. I could get 1000W out of it the pair theoretically (500W x 2 amps @ 2 ohms) by doing that instead of only 700W (700W x 1 amp @ 1 ohm) that the gear can provide otherwise. I know not if the amplifiers themselves can be strapped, so it would have to be this route if I wish to use them both. I have an oscilloscope that I could use f…

Lets hear from some people that have had good servce from Fi. I did but its was back in 2010.

I have not really got a direct answer yet, so figured I would post here. Would 2x12" Q's in a sealed enclosure move more air than a 12BTL ported? I prefer low bass ~30Hz. So far, I like how deep my 12BTL gets, I don't want to lose any of that. I haven't heard many systems, so I need to ask alot of questions sometimes..lol

hey i recently recieved my btl 15" and installed it in the box that i designed and built its a 4.4 cube slot port box tuned to 34hz and i have it on my 1500.1bd running about 1600 watts rms and i took a few videos earlier and when i was done i noticed that the cone was really hot on it....not so hot you couldnt keep your finger on it but it was pretty damn hot.....why is this i was planning on getting another 1500.1bd and strapping them......is the one 1500.1bd enough for it i thought these things were built for power

hey i was just wondering if i could get a quote for; replacing a broken magnet slug, and a recone plus shipping both ways on a 05 xxx. shipping weight would be around 65lbs and its shipping from 87401 thanks again guys!

Since I have seen some impatient people posting and complaining with no real reasons, I thought I would post up my purchase experience. Thursday the 12th of July: Called and spoke with Scott. We have spoken a few times and done business in the past. I let him know that I would be placing an order the next day, and inquired as to if they had any in stock. Scott let me know that they didn't stock, and were built on a per order basis, so I was understanding that it might take a bit of time. As usual, great guy to talk to, and gave me some recommendations on someone to email about a box design for my setup. Friday the 13th: Placed my order very early in the am. My bank called…

Not sure if this is a reasonable question as I just found ficaraudio, but here we go: How do these compare to the old RE XXX (2005), the BL and BTL? I would assume the BTL is close but how close? I need a daily driver sub (mostly real music), I have a US Amps 2000x (3000 watts). So from what I gather that puts me in the BTL series, fully loaded. Is this correct? I have read that the BTL10 is not a good daily driver, is this still true as the web page does have a daily option for it? I would prefer the BTL10 due to enclosure size but could swing the BTL12. thanks

Sorry for making a post about this, it just seems to get answered alot faster than emails. I got a speedy 10 minute response the first day about sending my sub in, but once I sent it out, I never got another email reply. Some confirmation if you received my sub and if you can fix it/build me a new one would be appreciated. Thanks scott/nick/whoever. Sub is a 15'' BL, Dual 2, fully loaded, has a cracked bottom magnet. -weston ([email protected])

What cleaner could I use to clean the surround on the subs?

Do you think a Soundstream PCA2000D would give me enough power to push two 15" or 18" Qs? If so would I purchase dual 2 or 1 ohm subs? If I wanted to get the full power out of the amp I would have to go with the 1 ohms, but how would I wire them? This amp is only stable at 1 ohm right? Would a .5 ohm load put too much stress on the amp? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok so im getting one 15 BL with a sundown saz-1500 should i get dual1 or 2 i want to run the amp at 1 ohms

Hey whats going on SSA. I have made a couple of posts and I have learned a great deal of things on here. I have a long way to go and I know someone can help me get there. I am looking for 3 18" Fi Bl's to buy or trade for some things. I am just curious of what will pop up. I do not want the D2's or Stock Bl's. This is not an official posting just to see if something happens. I have one and it is the 09 series with a yellow dustcap. I need 3 more to scratch the subs off of my list. Please no BS or Post Dumping.

got my FI bl 18" metered today @ 141.1 db on music with a single stock battery. i dropped down to about 137.0 db within 10-15 secs. will a second battery give me a lesser or greater then a 141.1 db? going to fix box as well. (baffle,bracing, rounding off, ect.)

Whats going on, I'm need to this sound world but I was interested in 2 Fi BL12 which would be powered by a Sundown 1500D. Is that enough power to make the subs sound good? If not what do you recommend? It'll be in a dodge charger which has plenty of trunk space.

I ordered a 10" BL this Saturday, but realized after reading some forums that I didn't need the extreme lead option.. I e-mailed the orders department like 20 min. after i placed the order, but have yet to get any response. That being said, I have already received tracking confirmation and they stated that the sub would be delivered this Friday..what can I do besides ordering another new sub? I will be using the sub daily, and dont want the tinsel slap or worn out spiders that this option is known for..anyone with some advice?

Okay well i just made a pre-order on the sundown audio sae-1200 v.2 and wanted to hook it up to two 12 Fi Qs in my truck. From what i've read in some posts, I should order the dual 2 right? Or should i get the dual 1? Please help me out. Thank you.

I will be building a box for 2 18" BTLs in a Tahoe. The subs will point up of course, but what about the port. Should I port up or back? I am not to sure as this is my first build for an SUV. I have heard back before, but have seen some greats like Meade do both and am unsure myself. Lastly, do you think this setup will hit real hard. Lookin for some pretty high numbers, as is everyone probably is though.

hi guys this is my first time in this site. im thinking of buying 2 12 ssd subs but dnt know how much max power they can handle. i already got a 2nd batt a kinetick 1800 and 2 hifonic 2000 brutus amps. should i connect them at a 2oh or 1 oh. power on da amps is 1300 at 2ohm and 2000 at 1ohm. or if there is a better sub i can get im on a budget of 450 for subs. thank u guys.

Can you shoot me a cost and addy, took a dive today. NEED a dual 2 ohm setup, also let me know if theres any options available. will be off a 1501d. as well any news on the TDX 15?

My new bass race build for 2009 will consist of 4 x 18in Fi Q's with the BP Power option....either 4 x Mbquart Discus 1500's or a Hifonics XXV Goliath, Kinetik batteries and an xs power alternator.....its not pretty but it should hit the lows pretty well.... start of the resin... 2nd layer of 3/4in mdf added to top...

i have a rockford fosgate t30001db a 200 amp alt. a yellow top in front and a kinetiks hc2400 battery in back ive been buyin piece by piece now its time for the subs i want to buy sum fi's but dont know wich ones... is this amp not good enough for 2 15" BTL's fully loaded?? if not what would yall suggest?? thanks for the support
