General Fi

i just want to know if my setup is ready for the BTL'z . i ordered them a couple of months back but i have been lagging to put them in because i do not want to be breaking tinsel leads so if there is something else i should get to help let me know please.

Recently bought a 15" bl and a fosgate 1000bd and am getting the big 3 done on thursday. Is one battery enough if its a yellow top?? Or should I just keep my regular battery and add a second cell in back. I would rather just have the one but not if its not gonna be good enough... Please help

Hi, I sent this to the sales email address before I knew about this forum. The sticky says to post questions here, so here it is. I'm thinking about buying a dual 2ohm Q12 w/ bp power option. I live in las vegas. Would it be possible to pick up the speaker and save on shipping? I'm also interested in seeing where they are made if it's possible. Also will I have to pay sales tax? So if the pickup is possible, what would the total be and how can I pay for it? I'm planning to run it off of one of these amps: http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/USAmps_DE-1000/ in a sealed box roughly 1.3 cu ft. I'll be using it for music, no competition. I mostly listen to techno, and…

I just tried to get a recone for a BL and it wouldn't go through, it goes to a blank page and has the price for the shipping and thats it. It didn't connect to paypal yet. Is it just me?

ok so i ordered my sub right around valintines day an it took over a month to get here an i finally got time to build a box this week end an hook it up! it never seen power till to day an i thought my amp was fried at first i couldnt get any sound or movement out of it at all.. so i hooked it up to a friends amp an it barely played so we put it back in my car on my amp. when we did that it finally started to play on my amp.. but it barely moves an you cant even here it hardly unless you get close to the sub. i tryed rewiring it a couple different times an it still just doesnt play hardly.. what is wrong with it? i know it aint the amp because i hooked my tens up an they …

I am strongly interested in that van that was posted last dec. Still available? gary

Hi I know this guy thats selling 2 18'' BTL's (Used) D2 With A Hifonics XX-Goliath (5000 wrms @ 1ohm) for only 350.00!!! Is that a good deal. How much would you sell it for?

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…

HOW WILL THIS BOX WWORK FOR MY FI 12 Q. nD IS THERE ANYONE IN SO CAL WILLING TO HELP WITH THE BUILD

I have a 12'' fi q with the bp option in a downfiring box 2.5 cu ft tuned to 32 hz. I have a hifonics bxi 1208d powering it. I am worried that i am clipping the signal. I had the radio turned up to 25 ( goes up to 62) and everything sounded good and crisp but when i turn it up to 50, it seems like the bass isnt as loud and not as crisp. Idk if i have things set right. Here are the places i have things set two: Subsonic: Three o'clock LPF: 1 o'clock Gain: 12 o clock Bass Eq: 12 o clock I know hifonic amps are known for clipping and are pretty cheap. I just need some advice on what this is. I dont wanna fry my baby.

i was thinking of getting a BTL n2 15'', an ported box from this website: http://www.klausaudi...oofer-boxes.php , im not sure what amp im getting but something like a 2000W-2200W, then im getting new battery, big 3, and a high output alternator (250 amps), also im currently looking for new navigational system and speakers. i have a 2005 cadillac escalade esv so i got plenty of room. i was just wondering if anyone has any good ideas for the amp and speak system. i just need some decent speakers and amp. also what would you recommend for box volume?

The foam on the top of the basket didn't have the mounting holes drilled in it. Also, the holes were a tad small for a 1/4" bolt. I saw a thread on here before where someone drilled theirs out to accommodate 1/4" bolts, but I've never heard anything about the holes not going through the foam. Is this normal, or did they just forget to put the holes in mine?

This made me smile if its truthful. I hope to be able to break 110 dB once I get both of my amps strapped to my 15. But still, is it most likely his in car speakers doing that? Or is it his sub?

would this be a good subwoofer enclosure for 2 fi bl's??? is the port fine?>?? and should i close each subwoofer in its own box..with its own port???/

5480 Cameron St #107 Las Vegas NV 89118 and do i make the mo out to fi car audio or scott?

Does the BL 10" have the same issue as the BTL 10"?

Fed Ex stopped by today. Oh Yeah, Had to take a peak before setting it under the tree for Christmas.

I decided to change the "sub-stage" in my truck from that single 15" in that ported enclosure that just never seemed to sound right to two Fi Q 12" in a dual chambered sealed enclosure. The enclosure has about 1.5ft^3 per chamber. The two subwoofers are without the BP option and are being powered by an AQ2200d amplifier.(2200watts@1-Ohms). Hopefully sending each Q with around 1100watts. The subwoofers are DVC 1-Ohm, wired in series to 2-Ohms per subwoofer and bringing a 1-Ohm load on the amplifier. The first Fi Q 12" has been bought and so has the AQ2200d. I plan to order the second Fi Q in a week. What influenced my decision for this subwoofer stage: 1. The Q's performa…

I have a 1994 jeep grand cherokee and i am having a bit of trouble right now i have 1 Q15 pushin 1500w at 1 ohm and im wanting to throw in another 15 but i dont have the cubic feet i need cause of my spare tire and im not allowed to take it out cause of my parents and i cant find a rack or anything for it should i go with the 2 Q15s or go with 2 BL12's on 1500 watts a piece? Please help and my dimensions are 19h 28d 35w with my spare tire in Price is no factor right now Casey

My friend just picked up two of these beefy lookin subs and I am gettin ready to order my FI's. Where would these sit in the FI lineup. I was guessin between Q and SSD, not to sure though.
