General Fi

Anyone running 8 gauge speaker wire into the terminals?

Well i've got my friend hooked on Fi. He wants to build a setup with my help. He is looking at a 12" or 15" Fi BL Powering it with a Directed 1100d, old model. He listens to mainly rap, and it will be placed in a Grand Am. What options should he look into with this amp power. I told him to just get it fully loaded if he ever plans to upgrade someday. Just need some opinion. His main concern is what size to go with, what is your opinion, I personally went with the 15, and love it.

Is it possible to recone an old school orion hcca?

How much is the BL 15 Plus shipping to alaska maybe someone could help me out

I am considering a Q12 for an IB install in an 84 El Camino. I have a Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1 that should make 850rms. if I have the sub modded for IB use is this a good choice. I listen to just about everything from techno to metal and some bass music

Just got a question, trying to find a suitable enclosure that would fit in the trunk of my charger and would be good for 2 SSD12 subs. Would this one work?? http://www.zenclosures.com/Dodge_Charger_Subwoofer_Box_p/chargerrecessface.htm Mounting depth - 9.00" Mounting hole - 9 1/8" for 10" subs & 11 1/8" for 12" subs (Adjustable by request) Total volume of airspace - 2.46ft^3 Adjustable by request (we can only reduce the airspace) Airspace per chamber - 1.23ft^3 -Spencer

I promised a review of the Fi X series for those of you who are thinking about ordering some of the remaining stock. First here are a few pics:

hey, i have a destjl built E15k (with the boob cone and blue e), and i spoke to nick via email a few months ago about a recone. I am just wondering if these would basically be arsenal parts, and how the sub would compare to the original. The e15k and the 15 arsenal have similar specs, xmax, and box requirements, so i figure this would be a good match. Just curious, and i may find out what that would cost if this is a good match. thanks brian

Got my recone in today, and it was a dual 2, and needed a dual 1. The coils read 1.6, I've checked multiple times and confirmed with another dmm. Everything else in the package was correct as far as the basket and dust cap. I understand the mix up as I ordered a d2 originally online and contaced you about the change via email and this forum. Please contact me about this issue as soon as you get a chance. Thanks. My email: [email protected] Order # 930 REXXX recone

I am new to the car audio scene, and I would like to get the best bang for my buck, but I also want to "go big". I Have never seen an 18" subwoofer box before let alone an 18" subwoofer irl. I know they are pretty big, I want to know the standard ported box recommendations for an SSD 18, and if that box will fit in my 1990 jeep YJ with the back seats out. Help from you experienced set of guys would be very greatly appreciated!

Hey guys I have a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis that I currently have a 12 inch Orion HCCA 12.4 in with an over sized box as seen here And I'm looking to get two Fi Team 15's but I have no clue what the measurements would be for a box or better yet if said box (ported I only do ported) would fit properly in even a trunk that size as I've never owned 15s idk. And help, link or measurments will do thank you.

well with a late start and my CD started skipping I did a 140.7 in street beat and took first in my 3 moddified class with the BTL18 so thanks again Fi.

Hey Scott I knew there was still some kinks to work out with the framing???? on the woofer ......but I see them on the site set to sell.... I picked up one of the 12" SX hybrids a while back...and never installed it....I realize that I need a 10" and something that I can probably seal and still sound really good.. car in question... gotta love that matte black paint job....the birds sure do. woofer in question...I love this cone reminds me of the W7 cone......and lets face it its sexy as hell

How much would a 18" D1 fully loaded BTL recone cost shipped to 33027 before friday if i pay tomorrow.

So i've more less disappeared from here due to not having any sort of internet access...our internet went out on Friday, and has been down ever since. Everybody that has emailed me that i have gotten i have replied to, i don't have a clue what is going on on the forum, so questions here will be answered as soon as i can get back to it and get everything under control here on the home front. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused any of you. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Nick Morgan Fi Car Audio

Was thinking of inverting my BTL UFO 12" as the cutout diameter is the same size as the motor. Should I compensate box volume for this action? I may want to revert it normally in the future, but I have a show on the 17th that I will be attending and would like to show this beast motor off. Space is not an issue, as I am downsizing from my previous enclosure for my zcon. Is there an audible motor noise that comes with this? downsides?

Ok heres the story, my back window had major bubbles and i dont know why, its been perfect for 10 years. Well i got tired of it, plus when the sun gets in just a little you can totally see the ugly rear of the wall which is fairly "raw" . Sorta embarrassing to roll my honda out, hella slammin, tuckin 18's..........but the worlds ugliest tint and behind it a raw backside of a wall. Well today, i broke my back glass out for the glass guy and it only took one sub! Can you believe it! heres the vid: dPApRN97WRs

I have a single BTL N2 18 that i am upgrading from a planet audio 5000.1D to an amp that can put out real power numbers and has 1/0 power and ground. I was thinking of the Crescendo 3500 or sundown 3500 as i hear the BTL N2 can easilly take 3500 RMS. Are those 2 amps one of my better, if not the best options and if not which would you suggest in a daily driver? I should probably include this is a dual 2 ohm that i will be wiring to 1 ohm. Basically if you had the choice what is the perfect amp to pair with this sub? **Also i would like to know if i have been misinformed of the btl handling that much power before i just go and blow this sub.**

Hi everyone, Im from Australia and i really want to order 2 BTL 18's, but i dont know if FI can ship to other countries. I tried emailing them but they havent replied, cos they're too busy or something, but does anyone know if they do ship to other countries?

Hey guys, I just want to let everyone know. Our email is currently down with the changeover to the new website(which is awesome if I do say so myself). It is out of my hands right now and is on the new email company. I do apologize about the inconvenience. If you need anything right now, feel free to hit me up on here or in a PM. Thanks, Shawn

I am hoping that scott or nick can help me with this...i sent an e-mail and i know you guys are busy, but i have not gotten a response yet so i'll reort to the forum again... i need a dust cap...the outer one...i have my speaker reassembled and this is the last piece of the puzzle...i was wondering if i could buy one preferable a blank one....is this at all possible scott or nick? thanks for the time

what amp would be better for a 12" Bl with the BP Power? US Amps MD 1D (underrated at 1200w @ 1ohm) or US Amps MD 2D (underrated at 1500w @ 1ohm)... Also would the flatwind coil be worth the extra $20? And also what would be a good box size? I know it recommends anywhere from 1.8-2.5... but what would be about perfect?
