General Fi

I am redoing my system so decided to try some new subs. Fi Car Audio SSD 12 - D2 x 4. The build quality on these drivers seem great. Suspension is stiff, loads stiffer than my current RE Audio SR's. I've got my own custom box design which is a bit secret at the moment, there will be more details about this later. This will be a streetpounder style system. I have ~3KW :-) There will be more pics as the build continues.

I'm interested in buying one but would like to hear it before I cough up the money. Anyone in Northern VA or DC with a Q12 or something similar.

Hello, I am having some problems with my Fi Q 12" and I dont know what happened. The other day I was listening to some music and then suddenly my sub stopped working completely. I tested the resistance from both the coils and only one side is working, what should I do? Do I need a recone? Ive sent some emails to scott nick and the sales emails and called and left a few messages but havent heard from anyone yet. Is there any way the sub could be fixed?

lookin to pick up a q motor. how much would a recone be?

Who should I send an email to regarding stickers and a t shirt. I sent one to [email protected] Will someone respond back to that email before my sub is shipped? Thanks, Curt

thinking about getting a motor + basket and wondering if there is any parts available for em? iirc , they had a 300wrms rating , anyway to bump that up a hundred watts or so? thanks.

I have a high output alternator being built, then Ill install 0 gauge power and ground wires,rebuild subwoofer box so all 4 subs will be facing up. Front door panels will be rebuilt installing an E8 sub as midbass, powered by a soundstream rubicon 1002, and soundstream RF-60 component set for mids and highs also powered by a soundstream rubicon 1002, the E8s will be bandpass at 60 herts to 200 herts, then the RF-60 comp set will play 200 herts and up. Here some videos of my curent setup. :eek5wavey:

hey fi, i ordered a sub (bl 15) april 19th and still hav'nt received it. something's gotta be up with the shipping company, i've ordered stuff from china that only took 3 weeks. let me know what's up when you find out. thx -phil

Would the BTL be worth the extra 200 dollars or should I just go with the BL?

I need the gap dimensions and top plate height for a older BTL motor (fully-loaded D1)

Yo Scott can you help me with those recones or no? I haven't heard from you. Thanks

The tdx is the one done by you guys. wondering if you have the correct coils yet? Dual 2 ohm? and the tdx i would like to set up with dual spiders and any options if avbailable. sent an email as well. thx. SSG Douglas Sands.

I'm putting my first system in the backseat of my 2004 Ford F150. What I would like to do is put 2 BL12's back there and run them off of either a Kicker ZX2500.1 or 2 ZX1000.1's, but I have several questions. I want to wire them to 2ohms to get the full potential out of my amps, so will I need to get the subs with dual 1 or dual 2 ohm voice coils? As far as a box goes, I plan on getting a custom slot ported box made. I ran my measurements through a program and it came back with these specs: Net Airspace- 2.5 cu. ft. per sub Port Volume- 1.586 cu. ft. Port Area- 80.39 sq. in. Tuning- 32 Hz Will these specs satisfy these subs? Also as far electrical goes, I plan on doing th…

hey i cant find fi stickers anywhere. does anyone know where i could get some?

hi, got a quick question about the shipping: does Fi ship internationally, even if it is at extra cost? sorry if this has been discussed before, but i couldn't find any info about international shipping.. thanks, damstachizz

i have the last version of the btl 15" fully loaded with the 3rd mag and everything.......which one is better the new one fully loaded or the one i have...it is still brand new only used it for 1 month....i dont know which one is better??? please help and if i sell the btl i have what would be a good price?????

WOOT! I think my X series are finally broken in and I have them tuned just right, I am now capable of 135+ db in IB with 300 "rated watts" off of my Fosgate Power 1000 at 4 ohms. I don't have a Term Lab available but I think I am doing pretty darn good on my little handheld SPL meter! Thanks Fi!

Hey there Scott or Nick. Today My 12" BTL that I purchased in late April started to smoke today. I have the subwoofer in a ported box around 3cuft to a Crunch GP3000D Pro. I was driving today and out of no where my subwoofer started to cut out and I thought that it was probably a wire coming loose or something so i just turned it down. Then I smell this awful burning smell and look back and the back seat of my car is being filled with a whitish smoke. I am assuming that somehow the voice coils burnt up. What would I need to do to have this fixed? A recone? And what does the FI warranty cover because I wasnt really pushing the subwoofer as hard as it could go. It was about…

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

hey guys im sum what of a A/V junkie and i own a velodyne sub..its the VRP series..and i love the sub but i want something a bit more bassier and a bit bigger...i currently own a 15" fi bl for my car so i know what fi's can do..but how about for home theatres..i knw there subs are made for cars but is it possible for home theatres,,i was thinking a 10 or 12 ssd? thanks

I am looking to send in a RE HC motor that I just purchased. I have talked to Scott several times about this before and I just wanted to give him a heads up that the motor is on its way to him and should arrive by the end of the week. Hopefully I can talk to him prior to it being delivered..

Now that I'm working agian, I'm ready to spend some of the money I just made... I have a Q10 and talked to Nick a while back about changing the coils from dual 1ohm to dual 2ohm in order to match my sae-1000D better. My question is: since the sub would be in the hands of Fi for the recone to change the coils, would it be worth it to upsize to a bigger cone as well? such as a 12 or 15? I will run this sealed because it is in an extended cab s10. So basically, will going from 600rms to 1100rms make a big difference or not? Thanks in advance, Mike B.

Hi, Which would you recommend for daily use? BTL or BL? Thanks.

Ok, so I am going infinite baffle in my e28 and have a pair of Fi X 12's. Does anyone know how well they may perform in tis type of setup? Just a little info, stock the trunk is sealed from the cabin in an e28 BMW and therefore it is good for this type of setup. I will mount the subs on the rear deck. I am definitely an SQ guy so lower spl is fine with me. However, I cannot go bigger than 12" because there is only 13" of rear deck space. I would have to cut the wall all up just to get some air moving into the cabin in a regular box setup anyway. Any tips, questions, info is appreciated.
