General Fi

Hey everybody, I'm new here and new to Fi products. I heard a single 15" in a local parking lot and was blown away. I'm looking to purchase an 18" BTL (any other suggestions?) enclosed in a ported box. I'm trying to stay under the $1500 mark . I really have no idea what amp I should purchase or if 2 15" will be louder. I'm 16 and I don't have my car yet, but I will be getting a 2004 Pathfinder. P.s I'm trying to out do my friends 2 15" mojos with a 3000 watt stetsom amp. Any suggestions on a set up would be awesome (and the final cost of course) Thanks, Daniel

My dad used to be really big into car audio and dbdrag's and stuff back in the day I'm talking about back in the early 90's when cerwin vega and JL was top of the line.and he is going to be helping me with my install. I was telling him about my 15" SSD and running it at around 1000 watts @1ohm. He said running your amp at a 1ohm load is bad for the amp because he said it will overheat allot quicker. He also said I will be going through amps like tissues if I run them @1ohm As long as I have my gains set right and I don't clip my amp won't overheat and crap out will it?

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…

I ordered a sub With the SPL Option. Someone told me that you could play the sub really loud for short periods of time and it wasnt for just driving around with it loud. But i am now finding out that it isnt like that at all i was wondering if anyone could help explain too me what SPL is.?

..own one 12 in FI Q which i bought used, getting ready to purchase another. Wondering if there is a way to tell if the speaker i already own has the bp option so i can have matching subs... any ideas?

whats up guys, im new to this forum and kinda new to these subs, but i just ordered a 15 inch Q and i plan on putting it in a ported box, now my question is i have 2 options of amps.....which one would be better and have my sub sound to its full potential. thanks in advance. my first option http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12210_...+BXi+1208D.html and my second option http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12211_...+BXi+1608D.html

I just got everything set up in my car. Running a FI 15 BL And a SAZ-1500d I will post pictures tomorrow And maybe a video.

Okay everyone I am going to order later this week and I need to make sure I am doing everything right. This is my first system. I mostly listen to rap but I like rock too. Its going in a '97 tercel. I'm going to get the dual 2ohm ssd 15", and I'm gonna have it running at 1000wattsRMS@1ohm off of a Hifonics Txi1008D. Which should I get the flatwind or copper coil? I'll be running 8GA. And the box I'm going for is 3.6cuft after port and displacement. Port is tuned @ 33hz. I have 40 inches of square port. Its 34"W/17.5"H/16"D And just to make sure I did a picture on paint, here ya go. Am I ready to order?

as stated, I'm between these two subs. the r is rated @ 750 rms, and the bl is 1000 rms + whatever the flatwind coil and cooling adds. I'd love to get the bl15 cause I hear it absolutely pounds, but I'm scared my amp wont do it justice. Whats my best option? im open to any brand/size of subs too, looking to spend up to $275-300 thanks

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

Since when did the prices go down on all fi subs?

Need Ideas on A Nice Amp For under $300 to power a 12" BL, Please let me know, or if there are none for under $300, give me other suggestions

Let me know which is better, and if i can push them to max power with 3 2000 watt amps (1 for each), please let me know if that will work....THANKS!!

lol this is a noob question but i dont know how to put on the sticker fi gives you when you get your sub. Do you just peel it off like a sticker and put of on or do you have to do something else?

So i went to pick up my sub today here it is

Tomorrow im going to pick up my FI BL 15 from the post office im so excited

Anyone care to show off the new BTL? :]

does anyone have a huge picture of the fi logo or one bigger than most i mean there all so extremely small they are hard to work with i need it for a box deisgn

so i got the Re SX with the extra power mods you guys added back from ups today it looks and sounds awesome. i was really blown away by how much stiffer the suspension was than the sx suspension, and those tinsels are out of this world thanks so much for the help guys, it really wangs hard! ill definitely throw some vids up when i get the chance, got the sub 45 min ago and it's in and tested already.

Hey guys, just got my Qs . I was wondering how exactly I should go about breaking in these subs, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay so, I'm ordering my BTL 18" friday and wondering if this is what I should go with, I'm going to be using a SAZ-3000 everything electrical wise is hefty due to my old system. This is what options I'm wondering if I should go with: dual 1 cooling HiXim daily induct heat ring Give me some opinions.

Its been 2 weeks sense i bought my sub and i still haven't got a email or anything so i was wondering if everything was ok. My name is Kasey Cavyell.

hey nick, i was unclear on what had happened to that sx15 recone with the power options. i got a message from you that said it had shipped last tuesday, however my tracking information never changed from "billing information received" that was on the 14th. i haven't heard from you by email yet so i figured i might try here.... -sean

well, i got on fi site to order my ssd 18's, and noticed first that there was no charge now for the cooling option on the bl's. When did they change it, and does anybody know if they have the magnets or whatever they were waiting on for the BL's? I may be able to just go ahead and get the BL now, well order one now and one in couple weeks. thanks

ok, a buddy of mine has 4 cheap memphis power reference 15's in a s10 blazer run off a mtx 1500 watt amp. Now, after hearing my bl 12", he either wants to go with 4 ssd 15's or 2 BL 18's. He is going to get 1 sundown 3000d. Both boxes would be ported and he has plenty of space, he took his back seat out already. I told him 2 BL 18's would be plenty. Which do you think would be better. He listens to mostly rap, some country and rock. He also has upgraded alt, and couple kinetik 2000's.
