    hi i was wondering if i can buy just some parts from you mainly just two 15" cones with surrounds attached, and some spiders. i have frames and thread rod assemblies made for the application. and would like to make a couple of passive radiators. i would imagine i would need cones that are on the stronger end of the spectrum considering i have up to a pound and a half to add to each threaded rod. and i am not sure as far as spiders go. the one passive i do have uses just one spider, and it is most defiantly not very stiff.

  3. Hey guys do you have a single X series 10" laying around somewhere? I am planning a build and would love to have one. Dual 2 would be the best but I would not complain an ounce if you could dig up a dual 4. Just checking If not I guess I will wait and do it with a single Q when the time comes.

    Hello all, I've always been a fan of Fi since it came out just from reading the forums and when I first started wanting a system. That was about 3 years ago now I think. I would like to put together a system now but I'm shipping off to college so money is tight at this point in my life. I'm sure this is QUITE impossible but I'de like to not spend more than $500 on either 1-15 or 2-12s including the Amp. I don't have a deck either right now but hopefully can figure that into the budget sometime. Thank you for any suggestions or insight. -Rob

    I have a motor from an older eclipse titanium (88120ti), which I believe is a 3hp. It has a 6 bolt pattern, which fi uses, and I want to buy a 15" recone kit from them. I want the sub to be able to have flat freq. response from about 25hz up. I want to use a ported box tuned to about 3cu@28hz. I want the sub to pound on the bass tracks (rap), but also groove on tracks with a bass guitar (r&b,jazz, some rock). If I can get the money, I plan on powering it with an eclipse da7232. So my question, can this be accomplished with this motor and fi soft parts? Also, how big of a difference is there between a ported 15 and a sealed 18?

    Whats up Everyone, Im new to this site, and hope to gain alot of knowledge from you all. I have a 2004 Escalde, and in trying to decide if i should go with 8 BTL 12s or 4 BTL 15s. I have two Soundstream 10000D amps, 8 kinetick 2400 batts, and a 2nd alternator for the additional batteries. I was running the solo x 18 but im ready to add more cone area and go for a different sound as well as move some serious air. Im not trying to build a wall tho. Ive been doing some reading and im hoping that these woofers will give me what i want. Any suggestions would be great appreciated..thanks in advance. G

    I just ordered the 15" Q along with the Sundown 1000 amp. I have had the Ascendant Audio Atlas 15 for the longest time. I thought to myself, maybe it's time to move on, so I did. Saw the awesome deal on this site for the amp, jumped on that. I did have one question, I was looking at getting some 0 gauge wire. Looking at KnuKoncepts wire. I just need to figure out the fuse size. What size should I get? I was leaning towards like 150~200A Thanks Sunny

  16. Hey guys, Im brand new to this forum and hope to be around here for awhile. Now im getting a car very soon and i love sound! So now i need your advice. I dont want to spend as much as the BTL and dont need THAT much power and the amps would cost more. So i would really love to just get the SSD if i knew there wasnt a huge difference between it then the BL. I dont want the Q as there the same price as the BL.. Know which would you get and what amps would be the best for the price. Thanks, Sam Also i was thinking 2 12's or 2 15's. I have a Infiniti 1999 Qx4. And im pretty sure im going to get the SSD. NOW could/would i be able to get a 2 channel amp? So i would only ha…

    Ok, this is gonna probably be a stupid question. I just got my Fi Q 15, it's running in a 3.6cu ft box tuned to 32hz. I set my gains on my sundown 1500 to 31.6v with a 50hz test tone. I get alot of output on rap and bass tracks, but on music like Dave Matthews or John Mayer, or even Stone Temple Pilots, you really hear no bass and the sub is barely moving. I know I have a little air leak around the bottom of the gasket but I dont think that it would make a difference. I have the sub crossed at the deck at 63hz with a 18db slope. No bass boost at the amp. I really would like to know why I dont get much output. I'm happy with it on rap and bass tracks. I move my back wall a…

  22. Few questions before I go ordering my 15 BL .5ohm with options. 1. Will ordering online yield prompt service or should I contact directly? 2. What is the current wait time. I want to know before I order. Not worried about the overall time but if it's a month after expected build time then that will be unacceptable. 3. Which shipping company do you guys use if not UPS? How much will it be insured for? Believe that's all I have for now. Look forward to doing business soon. Thanks Mike G
