General Fi

I already sent an email about this i just wanted to see if i could get a quicker response through the forum. Can you guys recone the TC 3 HP motors with the six mounting holes? I need a response fairly soon so i can order another one before they run out. I would prefer them to be tens or twelves and handle at least 1krms each. If you guys recone it will it sound fairly similiar? Thank you

So i have looked at the ported box design at the top of the page for an X 10". My question is how will this sub perform sealed in about .75ft^3? I know ill get more output out of the ported box and a little tighter bass from sealed. Is that 32hz tuning ideal for the X 10" I would assume since the fine folks at Fi posted that diagram and they know their speaker better than anyone. Once again im powering it off the back two channels of a JL J2 320.4 so around ~180 watts. Vehicle is a 1998 explorer so space isnt the issue at work here.

At 1:03 ish. Is Steve just not pulling enough power?

Purchased an fi btl sub off craigslist. long story short, the previous guy who owned it did a VERY bad recone job and the tinsel leads that go into the spider were shot and the wire that goes into the cone is too short and when the sub excursions, it simply rips out of the tinsel. I'm going to order a new recone kit but i cant figure out if theres a difference with the btl/n2/n3 and which model this is.. I deleted the guys number because I was so pissed at him that he would sell me something fked up. if anyone can help me figure out what it is or if theres anyway to tell please let me know asap!

I had my 12" dual 1 ohm Q reconed right before i sold my old car, and have decided against putting a system in my new car as i have a baby due in 8 weeks and need the trunk space. so it hasn't been used at all since the recone. what do u guys think i should sell it for? thanks anthony

i did not take many pics but here is what i have. ill take pics of the install in the truck soon.

hey whats up... well first i want to know how much do fi or scott charges to recone 2 re audio mt motors to some kind of 15 inch re audio mt/ fi btl sub. i have 2 mts well lets say motors i want them to be fi and well rep fi so i just want to know like a estimate to recone 2 subs to 15 inch with fi btl softparts. thanks

Hi, this is my first post here and i don't know much about car audio so take it easy on me. I am considering getting 2 of the 12" BL's to put in my car. I dont really want them in a sloppy box in the trunk, but i don't want to take out my backseat to install them. I know it might look goofy, but the backseat in my car flips down, so i was wondering if it would be possible to build a box that has the speakers in the trunk facing the cab if i have enough clearance for the subs while the seats are up? This car will be for daily music, i listen to mostly jeezy, trae etc, but sometimes i like to switch it up with some death metal (In Flames, and the like). What amp will i need…

Im looking to upgrade to 18's by the end of summer, and was wondering if you guys could recone my RE HC 12's into 18's. Right now they are being powered by a Ampman Revo 1500.1(which Im sure you are all familiar with) @ 2ohms cause I let the magic smoke out of the other 1500.1(I had two). Anyways if I got them reconed by you would they be ok getting 1500w+ each? Also could you reccomend a reputable shop that would fix my other Revo 1500.1? I havent found anyone local(Jersey) that I would trust to fix it. Sorry for the long rambling questions

diagrams on how to build?

What would be the best choice for an amp that could power 2 15" FI btl safely at?

Any chance someone could send me some high resolution Fi wallpapers ? Mainly after the one that said proudly made in Las Vegas. Want some for my Droid, cant find any in decent resolution. Thanks

Put my order in around 12:45am (eastern) Saturday morning. can't wait to get it in. look for my build log coming up as soon as i receiver the woofer and router my flushed hole for the woofer. the box is already mostly built and the rest of my setup is nearing completion. i just need a 6ch amp and a $150 run to parts express

Well, just wrapped up a pretty decent showing at Slamology. Dbdrag in a trunk sucks but I did bring my strength in Bass Race to the lanes. I decided to run Street C for Dbdrag and ended up coming in 3rd with a 143.4db. For bass race, I took home 1st in the 129.9 class! I have yet to do a legit meter of me inside my car with my new alt for the SSNW class, but outside my car I snagged a 143.8, and I'll probably do a mid 144 when I sit inside it. Anyways, I made a flex vid with my phone of the low meter score, but ear damaging BTLs. Also, I have a Crescendo XST2s distance test off an Arc Audio FD2100.

Hey guys, i need help with a box design and unfortunately im strapped on time. If someone could help me out with some plans with these specs i would be greatly in debt. Box is for 2 12's ( .15 displacement per) tuned to 32hz - slot port centered on box double baffle 3.6 cubic ft total 36w x 16h x ??d I need the width and height to stay at 36 and 16. I tried using subwoofertools.com but the program wouldn't give me 36x16x?? but rather 32.5 x 16 x 23.5 or something. Once again if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everybody, The speakers would be running off ~ 2400 watts in the trunk of a chrysler 300c. If you would give your reasons for your choice that would be appreciated. Thanks

I sold my bl 18's and both my sundown saz-1500ds and thought I was getting out of audio for a while. But, that didnt last long. I have plenty of room, 98 expedition. I want at least what i had, would like more. I pretty sure leaning to gettin 4 BL 18s this time and walling right behind front seats. i already deadened whole truck, got all wire still in truck. Would 2 Saz-2000d's be enough for 4 18s or 2 audioque 2200d's? I know thats only 1000-1100 watts per sub, but I really dont want to run 4 amps like 4 1500d's. If I could find 1 big amp that would be good for all 4 I will do that. Any suggestions or just go with 1 of the 2 amps above?

This is a question I was curious about... I know there are recones for the btl. The question I have, is do they come as a kit (including glue, shims, etc.)? If not, what glue do you guys recommend for gluing the surround, and dustcap? Also, is there some type of special gap tool, or shim that you recommend for correctly centering the vc in the gap? thanks

I am in pretty desperate need of help...I tried to design a box and I keep getting lost. I am working with about 18" in height, 48" in width, and roughly 20-25" of depth. I would like to do 2 15" BLs tuned to around 34 Hz or so. Can someone please help me out. Thanks.

so i only ask this because i saw this and i have all ways been told to run both coils at all times. but they are saying using one of the two coils just means you can just run half the power to the sub and its no harm no foul. they also said that you can use the second coil with a potentiomoter for a variable QTS system. i would like your thoughts on this, and i thank you for taking time out of your day to answer me.

hey was wondering.. i have a btl coming to me in a trade with a fresh recone, but there is no basket.. can i purchase one through you guys? (18" 12 spoke, and a rubber gasket, and terminals) thanks!

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

I'm looking to get a 15" SSD and was wondering what options should I choose. I read the sticky and know what they all do but want someone with experience for their input. What options should I get? I was thinking just getting the copper coils. I'm looking mostly for loudness but I do want to maintain some sound quality. I e-mailed FI but they haven't got back to me yet and I'm anxious to buy the sub.

Ended up ordering the Sundown Sae 1200d last night now I just gotta wait until it gets here Next I gotta get my amp kit and I'll have it hooked up in about a week o yea for those that forgot I have the Fi Q 15 wit bp
