General Fi

Right now I have cheap Duals from best buy, so this is why I call this my first "real" system. Originally I had no idea what I was looking for, just that I wanted good sound quality since its a daily driver and I wanted it LOUD. I ran across a few choices and like the AudioQ HDC3's, but I figured I'd go with the FI Q's instead as I've heard they get pretty loud while still sounding extremely good. Heard great things about FI as a company as well. I am driving a 00 4-door sunfire so fitting a very large box isn't really going to happen. I have enough trunk space to fit a larger box to fit two 12's (maybe), but the problem is getting it into the trunk. So my options are ei…

Hey everyone, I've had my fully loaded bl 15 for about 5 1/2 months and i love it. But now all of a sudden im having some wierd issues. One morning when i got into my car and was driving i noticed i had no bass at all so out of curiosity i turned it up to listen closer and all of a sudden the sub kicked in but when it did it was distorted sounding. Now ever since its been the same way and not to mention its not very loud now. Even when i first got it and was using my stock battery it sounded louder and better. Could my setup be clipping? Any thoughts? All help is greatly appriciated!

How can i chk to see whats going on with my sub or if its shipped yet I ordered my sub on the 9th of august should be shipping soon The link i was issued stopped working today

2 18" bl's in 11.8 cubes @ 35 hz: sq: sq is not the best, but certainly not even close to the worst. you have to remember i have owned 2 different gen magnums, and have listened to my friends xxx pretty extensively. the average user will be satisfied with the sq. the audiophile probably will not...but these woofers weren't designed to be the upper echelon for sq anyways, so im not really taking anything away from these woofers. spl: pretty **** good if you ask me. are being ran off a kx2500.1 with a birthsheet of 2.9kw @ 2 ohms. wired @ 1 ohms with gains set to give roughly 3k. the certainly punch pretty good. i have had to drill my rear hatch glass hinges and put bolts t…

Wat up! I just bought two fully loaded BL 15s.the new version with 4" coils.they are dual 1. I was giving them some free air at around 20-25 hrtz on my sundown 1500d for aBout 10 mins at the most.they BARELY got a Lil warm.nothing bad tho.volume just under half way with the bass knob about half gain.just trying to loosen up the spiders and break in the suspension.they are soooo incrediblly stiff lol but on one of them, as I was pushing up and down on the cone,I see a tiny quarter inch tear in the middle of the spider.was soo bummed..does this need to be re coned or Wat?like i said It's brand spanking new,and it still sounds great and bumps hard,doesn't make any weird noi…

Hmmm...What could this be?? New Sub From Fi? I think so...But how big? This Big... I have a Shoe Size 15-16 Should have it up and running either friday afternoon or saturday morning...

Just starting a thread for my new bass race system build. Here's a couple pics of one of the BL 18's....i like the one of it sitting next to the American Bass DX 12" (their budget sub). Hopefully I'll get started on the build soon.

I got one last week and the other one today. I like how the first one that came in had the black basket, but not a big deal cause it wont be seen. Box build may begin tomorrow after work, but will start sunday for sure. oh yeah, they are BL 18's D2 with cooling, flatwind, universal, and daily and will be run with 2 saz-1500d's.

My new SP4 18 reads 2.2 ohm on both coils Fluke Dmm leads touched it reads 0.1 the Sub reads 2.3 ohm Craftsman DMM leads Touched it reads 0.0 the sub reads 2.2 Cheap harbor freight meter leads touched it reads 0.1 The sub reads 2.2 My other two SP4's Both read 1.4 ohm. I have been waiting on a response from FI Car audio. I Hope they come through and fix this. Anyone have this issue too?

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.

Finally got back my 15" BL from Fi When i bought it from Joseph K., upon delivery, USPS dropped it and broke it. Soo, using the insurance money i reconed it to a 15" from a 10" Before After First impression= Damn that's huge! Thanks for everything FI, another satisfied customer.

Ok this is my first post on this forum so ill try to not sound like a complete noob but i kinda am because this will be the first time i mess with more that 1200 watts. So ill call this my Noob Question thread so that when ever i have a noob Question i can come back to this instead of starting a new thread. So anyways here goes my first question. Ok i plan on buying a 18 btl but i want to buy all the things ill need b4 buy the sub like the amp, H.O. Alt, wires, and exct. So the first thing on my list will be the amp. Now im kinda a Rockford fan boy so i wana go with the t2500-1bd, and i was wondering if this will be enuff power for this monster of a sub. O and ill use if …

I ordered my sub on the 4th of this month & I havent heard ANYTHING from FI. Whats going on with it? I really need to know. I ordered an FI BTL 12 for my camaro. someone help!

So I bought my Fi Q 15" a little over a year ago but due to a DUI its only gotten about 4 months if that of playing time. I just got my license back so i was excited to finally get to hear it again. After only a couple of days it shot out a large cylindrical metal piece through the dustcap. The dust cap is fractured but the the insides of the sub look fine(coils and whatever else i can see). I've never seen this happen before in person or online. I have it in about a 4 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz. Its on a USAmps XT2000D and definately not recieving full power for the sub and the gains are turned down. I didn't change anything in the setup since i last drove it a year a…

... FINALLY WORKS! I rewired the LOC to the rear speaker wires past the factory amp instead behind the deck and it all works now! Apparently the radio puts out a signal no matter what, and the factory amp is what controls the volume. So that's why I was getting output at 0 volume. All I have to say is it sounds amazing! It gets the output and clarity I wanted and the 10 is loud, but beautifully crisp. Amazing products from the guys at FI.

They took about a month to get here. Well worth the wait.

here's my setup. ive been procrastinating for a while on putting them on here so here you go~! heres box with none other than the btl 18's of course if you look closely you can see the 5/8" all-thread bracing through the top all the way through the port and through the box to the FRAME! just in case i get in a wreck http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/d...es07/system.jpg heres the amp that is for sale. check the for sale forum and pick it up! Rockford T20001bd 1 ohm stable and way underated on power. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/d...07/100_0779.jpg heres the mercury mountaineer they are sitting in. it is also for sale! http://i221.photobucket.com/albums…

I ordered my ssd 18 on the 18th of march. Revieved it today. april 18th. And when I opened my box the sub was sitting sideways. I have read forums on here about peoples subs arriving messed up and fi not fixing it so I decided to take pictures for proof. Will fi fix this or am I just screwed? I have a feeling its revenge for me complaining about build time. I have pictures on my computer, I just don't know how to put them on here, could anyone help me?

Ok so this is probably not the best place to post this but i needed a final "ok" from some people who know their stuff and i know most everyone on here does so that is why im asking. I am ordering my stuff, probably before the 24th since there is a sale on the amp i want, and just wanted to make sure im making the right choice and wont regret anything and that this will work... This is what im buying: - 1 Fi Q 15" 2-ohm (im assuming DVC so i cant wire it to 1-0hm?) ($304) - 1 Sundown Sae-1200D amp wired to 1-ohm ($310) - Alpine CDA-9886 ($300) - KLM 1/0 Amp Kit ($53) - KLMX 1/0 Silver pwr. wire. 10 ft. for the "Big 3" ($18) - Streetwires 12-gauge speaker wire 25 ft. ($42)…

Hi, i own a 15" dual 2 BL running off a xtr2400 old school orion amp. ATM i'm running 1200watts(4ohms) to my 15. I recently owned a xtr1000, which ran 1000watts at 1ohm to my 15(which is why i have the dual 2 setup, and im an idiot for not getting universal option). But anyways now that i own this beastly amp, i would like to get the most out of it. I am thinking of buying another dual 2 15 BL and being able to wire it to 2ohms OR selling(craigslist) my 15 and buying a new 15 BTL dual 1 of course. To sums things up, what would be better output, loudness, slammin' balls wise: 2 15 BL'S or 1 15 BTL. And im sorta on a money budget right now... Greatly appreciate yalls thoug…

Just had my system installed yesterday the 26th. I finished my custom box, carpeted and everything. Its 2.3cuft tuned to 33hz and its ported. I have a stinger amp kit, all 0 gauge. I also have a 250amp fuse. My system includes one 12in fi bl fully loaded, and a sundown sae1200d, which is capable of producing 1500 watts rms at 1ohm. This is my first system. OHH and i also purchased a line driver from jl that was like 200 bucks. Anyway my system HITS HARDDD Aas HELLLL. It freaken vibrates the cars around me. I annoy people alott on the street. People think i have 2 18's in the trunk of a 2010 altima lmaooo that wouldent even fit. What the hell i dident no my system would be…
