General Fi

Anyone know when they plan on updating the T/S parameters for the BTL line up?

Ok, Im no expert but this is the first time seeing this piece in any subwoofer. I have an Fi Q 12 (2010 Version). I took my box out today for some room for a road trip and i come upon this piece inside the subwoofer box. I have the Pics link here. Its round about 1" in diameter. I wont be here at all for the weekend but will try to get back here to figure this piece out. plastic pictures by vietboi5o4 - Photobucket

this will be my first time buying fi products. i have a 2004 gmc denali that i want to fill. im pretty much asking what would you choose between the 2? they will be seeing the same amount of power 3000 rms per btl or 1500 per bl plus whatever more my saz-3000 will put out. and yes i do have plenty of electrical to handle these i know the 8 bl's would have alot more cone area but would it be noticeable? what would you choose? any input is appreciated

Whats up everyone i just received my 2 US amps (md-3d) 2000rms @ 1 ohm i am goin to be running 1 amp per sub 18" fi btl fully loaded just waiting for the subs to get in so i can build my box...cant wait to see these monster subs hopefully they are shipping out soon...........

I recently ordered a 1 ohm 12 Q and a Orion XTR PRO 1000. At 1 ohm the amp is supposed to give out 1000rms. How will i wire this sub to the amp, and will this sub run well with this amp as in pushing maximum power. Thank you. Im a noob lol soooo i prob sound super stupid. EDIT***GO TO THE BOTTOM POST.

Right now I have a pair of Q 15's in an 8.0CuFt enclosure, after all displacement. Tuned to 30 Hz. I was thinking about doing 4 X 12's in about 8Cuft enclosure tuned to 32 Hz. Power wise, it would be easier on my electrical. But my question is, would the response be there? Would the X's play sloppy? I'm happy with the Q's but I want a little more output (SPL). And I'm sure like alot of you, I like to change things up. Right now my Q's are powered off a PA A3000db at 1 ohm. The x's would be at 2 ohm. Just to throw this out there..I have 2 PA A3000db's if that helps you with your suggestions. Suggestions please?

Hi All, I know that both of these amps will for for this sub but my main question is, is it worth spending the extra money for the 1.1000 or will the 1.600 suffice? Thanks, Jim

Well i sent in my money order for a Q10 a week ago friday stating that i would like dual 2ohm coils, well, things changed a little so i e-mailed Fi and asked if my order could be changed to dual 1ohm coils... No answer and i sent the e-mail sunday morning. I don't really want to send another e-mail because i know they are really busy, but... i need to know if my order was changed or not... Any ideas? Or if one of the Fi guys read this, the e-mail is: [email protected] Thanks, and sorry for the semi-useless thread.

Hello, im making a box for my 15" Fi BL its gonna be 36 x 18 x 18 4.7 ft3 @ 30.5hrz daily driver just looking for some ground shaking fun : ) will this be a good box for that woofer?

I really want to buy a pair of ssd 18's and run them sealed, but everyone on this site say no. I plugged the T/S specs into Win ISD and it seems to be OK sealed in that sense. Qts is very high at 1.22 in 4 cubic feet. Here's what I have text-wise: 25.00 -9.42 -9.42 30.00 -5.73 -5.73 35.00 -2.66 -2.66 40.00 -0.28 -0.28 45.00 1.32 1.32 50.00 2.18 2.18 55.00 2.50 2.50 60.00…

He wants to compete in local SPL comps, and recently switched from bahns to Vega V-Max. Personally I don't like how the V-max meter or sound, so I am trying to get him to switch to Fi. He is on a pretty tight budget, so I was thinking that the SSD's would be a good option for him to start with. Should the SSD's yield a noticable increase in SPL from the V-Max if they are in a proper box and and correct power?

I was originally looking at getting a SSD 18, but it seems like a lot of people have SSD 12s instead of the 18s. Is the 12 better or something ? I would assume that the 18 would get louder, and that is what im going for. Im not really entirely sound quality. I was also wondering if anyone had any good box specifications for a SSD 18.

Which is better? what are the good and bad points of each? can one handle more power? does one sound better? whats the deal? lol

So i understand that it takes 3-7 days to build the subs and such, its been around 10 days, so i figured id try to check on UPS tracking. To see where my Sub was via shipping. I looked at my pay pal confirmation and it gave me a tracking I.D. is that the tracking number? because every time i use that number it says that its invalid. Also what shipping company or method does Fi use? I live in south Florida, so it shouldn't take long to receive my order right? Thanks Please, any info appreciated

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

would i be ok powering one 12" Fi Q with a kicker zx750.1(900rms certified)?

Hey! I finally got my MTX TC8001 amp. 800 RMS @ 2 Ohms. Performance certificate says 916 W, if that helps... I want to get a SSD 15" sub (dual 1+1). I'm going with a ported box, tuned @ 33 Hz. Should I go with a stock SSD with this amp? Or do you recommend coppercoil or FlatwindCoil? Thanks

I placed the order for my 15" BL on the 28th of last month and they accepted my money that night, on the 2nd of this month i received my ups tracking number however when i check it as i have been like every day multiple times it say billing information received. my order is supposed to be here on the 8th according to ups. how come i can't track it, and should i really expect it to be here on the 8th?

lookin for some pics of a 12" bl side, top, and bottom and a review if anyone has one on the 12 thanks

Title is self explanatory. What is the star (*) for on the RMS wattage on the BL series?

I have a dilemma of which set-up to go with. I already have all the stuff, except batteries and maybe a high output alternator if I was to need one. I need the extra space in my trunk, 96 honda accord coupe, for battery/batteries/mid-range amp, and space for me to get to my spare tire. So I can only use about half the space for the box. I bought the two 12" SSD subs because it was a good deal but then right after I bought them, I also found a good deal on two 10" SSD subs. But here it is: Two 12" SSD subs, bp option, copper coils, D2, with an IA20.1 amp at .5 ohm in a minimal recommended box of about 3.5cu ft. tuned to 34hz. I would probably get a deka 9a31 and maybe a hi…

which would be louder/better for daily..the 4 15s or 2 18" BTLs..

I have a 12" FI "Q" running off of a JBL BP 1200.1 amp. The amp is suppose to run 1200 watts rms and I am running it correctly wire wise. Do you guys think it would perform better with a different amp setup? A friend of mine suggests a kicker amp. what do you guys think?

I have been competing in MECA for the last couple years, and due to the rule changes Im dropping out. So now Im headed back into a daily set up, no longer chasing numbers. I have both the ufo mag and n2 btl's and love both, I finally got a blazer and am looking for a just a monster daily system. Both my btl's are 12s, since I now have a blazer I will be looking at an 18. Question being....what would fit my bill better, going with a sp4 or just reconing one of my current btl's to an 18. Will be on a saz3500 with the proper electrical.

Thanks to the closeout over @ SSA on the fi subs i picked these bad boys up for HT duty, should be getting around 100watts each sealed woot tiny pole vent lawl coil shot
