    Scott, Can you please check your mail client for the subject containing order ID "I-10840/00"? Sorry I'm just not sure how else to get in contact with you, and I know you're swamped catching up.. It's in regards to shipment of my order. It's important due to reasons in my e-mail that I receive it Friday or earlier. Normally I wouldn't be so anal about it, but was told 2-3 day build time, as well as an e-mail from you last week telling me that it would be shipped Thursday or at the latest, Friday. We're now nearing the end of the 6th business day for build time, but I'm willing to do what it takes to get it here on time, like splitting expedited shipping with you. Would re…

    So i just recently bought 2 15in BL Dual 2 subs with the cooling package and i have 2 questions... 1) Now im usually pretty good with this buuuuuuut I'm guessing that Dual 2 means that i can only wire the subs at either 2 ohms or 4 ohms... 2) If I can only wire it down to 2 ohms what amp should i use? ive been looking and looking and the only amp that i could really find to push em was the Power Acoustiks 5500 BAMF series amp that puts out 2500w rms at 2ohms Any answers/ suggestions would be nice... THANKS

    Wait! I just ordered my FI.Q12. This will be the first time I've had a sub in my car since I was 17 an I'm 23 now. I am more into SQ now though. So I hope my Q 12 and pdx-1.1000 sounds good.

    All week I have been sitting around like a kid on Christmas eve and finally she arrived yesterday. I dropped her in and added a run of 2/0 welding wire as a ground for better voltage. I am soon to be adding a HO alt and finishing my big 3 off with better wire. Anywho all I can say is wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this sub is loud as hell. First setup I had that really hurts my ears. Like really hurts them and the thing that I like the most I still have more left in it as far as tuning it. I would like to say that to the ear thus far this setup is far louder than my 2 12" ssds on the same power. Only thing different is I actually built the box for my 15" as opposed with the 12"s …

    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

  8. Made quick friends with Joe and made this really cool video! Windshield was moving even more but my digital Camera w/ 7.1 megapixels really got the job done on this one. Joe was really awesome and inviting to give us a really cool DEMO!! Thanks Joe... We missed you at Slamfest but look forward to seeing you again! Although Joe's S10 is bad AZZ in it's own right, w/o any stereo. I think my girl may be the star of this one. If she would've had one more button undone, on her new Ascendant button up she was rockin, would the vid have been allowed?!?! hehe We all had a great time at SBN 2008 and getting together w/ Joe just made it all the better.

    first question: What would be the smallest enclosure you all would reccommend for two fully loaded 18" BTLs seeing about 3500watts(rms)/sub, tuned to the low/mid 30s and mainly for daily driving (with maybe the occassional competition)? second question: i know on your site it says the btl comes in a 10" size, but i thought i remember some problems with it so you all quit making them as 10s. im basically wanting to know if u all still make a 10" BTL that is built for pure spl? thanks, andy mods: u can move this to the FI technical section if u want...didnt know where to put it.

    Just want to say how happy. I am I do not regret buying these subs they are all they are cracked up to be. Well worth the money and wait they are everything I've been looking for and then some. They are amazing subs and if your considering a sub from FI do not hesitate. Here's some pics as for a review They drop low when I say low I mean low. Think gut wrenching. I put on the silicon sound system test which goes through cycles and I could not belive what I was feeling and hearing the lower it got the more they shined. I did'nt realize what kinda power I had back there as none of the other subs I've had on that amp have really made me say wow. I mean they were loud …
