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

What is the weight of a standard BTL 15? Thanks.

Alright, while i sit here waiting for my order to arrive for (1) 18" BTL D2, i decide to browse craigslist.. I run into another 18" BTL D2 which looks to be in good condition.. $380.. now im really confused. lol. I haven't had the box built maybe i should just go with 2 instead of 1? The current amp i have is a sundown saz1500 .. which would be fine with 1 btl but i dont think its gonna cut it with 2 of them.. so my options IF i decide to buy this sub... buy another saz1500 and run them separately @ 1 ohm each... Strap the 2 1500's together and run them @ 2 ohms together.... I would love to sell my 1500 and buy a saz3500 but that's out of the budget right now. Doing this …

I'm planning to buy two of the fully loaded Q15's, and I have a question regarding how to hook them up. When I get them I plan to hook them together either in series or parallel and (This is where the question comes in) run off a monoblock Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdCP. Now since each requires 1000w rms would it be safe to run them at 1250 off of the 2500w monoblock? I plan to put them in a ported or bandpass style enclosure that'll take up most of my 43inx40inx17in (roughly) trunk. Would this be a good set up for the two woofers? And is that the correct power for them? Also, the second question I somehow forgot, how would I wire two dual 1 ohm Q15's to get them to hook up…

i got a re mt motor that has a shifted top plate. can i send it to you guys to align it, and on top of that, have you guys recone it back to specs? i already got a 12 spoke basket and ill be willing to send that in for minor but minor cleaning. thanks

15" Q on a old school memphis 1000D, quality was alot better before youtube but then again tis my first vid

I checked my invoice info a couple weeks ago on the Fi website i think. It told me the status of my order i cant remember too well but i cant seem to find it on the website. Does anyone know what i am talking about? Or links to where i can find this... Thanks for the help.

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?

okay on the fully loaded 18 inch btl what would be: peak to peak xmax rms power handling weight and what would be a good amp to run four of them or amps. i was lookin at 2 jbl crown amps the 8k watt ones @4 ohms would that be good. or should i do one per sub. well what would the experts do. i listen to rap and thats what will be played loud and long. so what amps would you put on them-brand,series,and wattage

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!

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

hi guys this is my first time in this site. im thinking of buying 2 12 ssd subs but dnt know how much max power they can handle. i already got a 2nd batt a kinetick 1800 and 2 hifonic 2000 brutus amps. should i connect them at a 2oh or 1 oh. power on da amps is 1300 at 2ohm and 2000 at 1ohm. or if there is a better sub i can get im on a budget of 450 for subs. thank u guys.

i'm looking for the specs for the old btl fully loaded with the 3 mag

Coding is done... Fire away!

will there be a new cone design for the Q line or any line? Maybe something that looks like the new AA Havocs. Make it an all black cone with the with the Fi logo painted on the bottom of the cone in flat black. Something like the havocs or the w7's. And since the subs are made to order, you could do any color that the buyer wants to have on it. Sound good to anyone???

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.

I recalled back in this forum someone said the Q was reviewed by CA&E. Anyone knows about the score or even better a copy of it. Also with the review of the mags. thanks Wynold

I'm upgrading from fully a loaded bl to fully loaded btl (d2) This is my (Soon To Come) setup is it good or not? SUB:(1) 18'' Fi.BTL (Fully Loaded) AMP:(1) AudioQue 3500D (3500 Rms @ 1 Ohm!! & BTL's are recommended @ 2000 Rms) [is the amp good or what?] its getting the whole 3500 rms http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQ3500D.htm http://www.audioque.com/aq/images/AQ3500D/AQ3500Dguts.jpg (4) Screws for terminals (Better solid connection no leaks) Enclosure:(1) [Ported] 6 Cuft. (After displacemant) Tuned to 32hz. maybe 3/4 MDF Thats my setup but my main question is how much of a db differnce is a enclosure thats tuned to 32hz. from a enclosure thats tuned to 34hz. I love …

Just bought a SSD 15 with copper coil. Had it for about 3 weeks before i was able to give it some real power. Originally i had it on about 250 watts, and it sounded very well for that. I was surprised really. So then i match it with a good partner, hifonics 1608d Hooked everything up and man did that sub slam. I gave it all of its 800rms and then some. And it still wanted MORE! Played very very nice, the more power i gave it up to its power handling the better the SQ got for me. I didn't completely turn up my amp but everything i threw at the SSD it took it with pleasure, it handled everything nicely and as much as i turned the gain up there was no distortion at all…

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

last sunday at a comp hosted by doug stockton of sonicfx, i metered my car with 2 btl 15s loaded and 2 orion 2500d. db drag i only got 147.9 (not too happy with that score) bassrace i got it up to 147.2 i was happy with my bassrace score. the thing that was amazing was the subs never lost its sq when i was hitting 147.2 playing music. it sounded clean and didn't lose control. very amazing subs.

got a big boner right now cant wait to get that beast in... igot the dual 1 flatwind,cooling,daily option... someone told me the d2 was better than the d1 just because the d1 has 1000rms and the d2 has 1500 how tru is that ? i know you got more wiring options with the d2 but it cant be that bad right?? anywho im going to be running at least 300 maybe 500rms over ,would you guy consider going over rated rms???

It feels like a good Friday to give away some free stuff...for the next 250 Q's that are ordered you get a FREE BP power upgrade! www.ficaraudio.com When will it end? No clue...jump on it while you can

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
