General Fi

Hi, this is my first post here and i don't know much about car audio so take it easy on me. I am considering getting 2 of the 12" BL's to put in my car. I dont really want them in a sloppy box in the trunk, but i don't want to take out my backseat to install them. I know it might look goofy, but the backseat in my car flips down, so i was wondering if it would be possible to build a box that has the speakers in the trunk facing the cab if i have enough clearance for the subs while the seats are up? This car will be for daily music, i listen to mostly jeezy, trae etc, but sometimes i like to switch it up with some death metal (In Flames, and the like). What amp will i need…

Hey guys, I've been lurking these forums for a few days now and I guess its about time to post. I just got a brand new mazda 3 hatchback and I'm looking to upgrade the stock sound system with a sub and amp. My budget for an amp and sub is gonna be about $500 but I can stretch it to $600 if absolutely necessary. I've been reading the forums and am currently leaning towards running either a 10" or 12" Fi Q in a sealed box in order to save trunk space. I listen mainly to rap and hip hop but I also listen to some rock like radiohead, chili peppers, and rage against the machine. Basically my goals are to get a good SQ type sub that will add a good low end sound to rock s…

Many people have been raising the question and not believing that we make our shirts and stickers in house...so here is some pics of our screen/print shop 4 screen station that I'm making some new screens and stuff for right now for new shirt designs... Two single screen stations that we use for the back and front logo's on some shirts/hoodies Other single screen station.. All of our vinyl racks that logos are cut out of! Granite slabs to work the stickers out on and apply logos Our pad printer... Last not least...our good friend RUCKUS! www.causingaruckus.com

if you had the choice what would you take 2 12" ssd's getting 600 watts each or a 15" Q getting 1200 watts. Both would be in optimum enclosures tuned around 32HZ. I want it to be loud and be able to hit the lows and sound good while doing it.

I'm getting my fi btl 12 fully loaded..and I have no clue what screws/bolts to use. I've read some forums and some people have used bolts with t nuts..anyone please help.! I need exact size that will fit the holes and will hold my btl nice and sturdy!

Anyone know the price for a recone kit for a regular q 12" shipped to 75211. Nick maybe????

Hey guys, i need help with a box design and unfortunately im strapped on time. If someone could help me out with some plans with these specs i would be greatly in debt. Box is for 2 12's ( .15 displacement per) tuned to 32hz - slot port centered on box double baffle 3.6 cubic ft total 36w x 16h x ??d I need the width and height to stay at 36 and 16. I tried using subwoofertools.com but the program wouldn't give me 36x16x?? but rather 32.5 x 16 x 23.5 or something. Once again if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Can you shoot me a cost and addy, took a dive today. NEED a dual 2 ohm setup, also let me know if theres any options available. will be off a 1501d. as well any news on the TDX 15?

Good evening all! What frequencies does the SSD12 with copper coils play the best? I have it in a 1.5^3 ft sealed box and I'm not sure what to set the subsonic filter and the low pass crossover at? I'm powering it with a soundstream rubicon 702 which also has another kind of feature, hawkins bass control. I think it's a combination subsonic filter with booster. Any advice would be great.

is it possible to get a recone for an old xxx 15 built? i know it was possible a few months ago but i know yall are busy to. and SORRY scott. i had sent you an e-mail before reading the sticky on NOT SENDING YOU E-MAILS other than shipping info.

just wanted to say thanks again to scott and FI for there awesome customer services. last year i blew 2 btl's 18's 2 weeks before NSPL finals,call fi and ordered 2 recones and i got them less than 10 days.made the finals and won.i blew the subs from bad rca's. so it was not there fault but mines.awsome subs.they play like a timex.they take a beating and keep on ticking. now i went to a show2 weeks ago and opps rca pull out so i blew 2 subs again.again my fault.same subs too.the other subs are still strong. well with only 2 of 4 subs i still did over a 162 db'.so i was ok,but now i need subs for the NSPL finals and no cash. after i came up with some cash i called scott a…

so i noticed a lot of you on here are very well educated when it comes to systems in cars (ie doing it yourself). where/how did ya'll learn all this stuff? was it just trial and error pretty much? reason i ask cause i really would like to learn and dont have enough time to go to a school for it. read two "eh" books but want tons more info and want to learn more.

Finally after a few weeks of telling myself to buy it, I just did. I'm already way too anxious for this sub. It's going to be quite different from my last sub stage which was 4RE8's in a 6th order bandpass. Im going to be running this one at 2ohms off of an md2d. Right now I'm looking at running it a ported box of 4cuft at ~28 hz. Any other sugggestions? -Justin

i have 18 cu to work with after displacements, and im wondering if that is enough air space for 4 bl 18s or do i need to step down do the bl 15s?

Scott, I know you have been sick and really really busy trying to get caught up. Just to let everyone know I am not starting this topic to bust your balls or anything. I just need to get in touch with you. I would like for it to be over the phone so I can explore my options here for recones of BTL 18's but I would like a custom recone for my application. My e-mail is [email protected] if that is possible please let me know.... Thanks, Brock

Anyone got Old style FI BTL 12 or 15? max 320 $ with shipping

Well, i bought the BL 12" about month ago and right when i was building box for it, i traded vehicles. I thought when I got this expedition I was going to want something alot bigger than just 1 12". So, I got a box designed for 2 BL 15's and had decided thats what i was going to do. But, I already had the 12" and a sundown 1500d, so I went ahead and threw together a box, and my wife has been wanting to fiberglass, so she finished it saturday night and I got it put in last night. Now, after playing it all day, I am amazed how good this 1 12" sounds. I still have stock electrical for now, as I thought i would upgrade it when i got 2 15's. But now, I am pretty set on keeping…

I have 4 15" kicker's in my car right now running off 2 hifonics 2006's. i am thinking about putting either 4 18's into a truck or 2 18's of the trunk of my car. i want to flex and have a lot of bass. i already sound loud i my car but i want more. do you think i am jumping out there to far with purchasing 4 fi btl 18's? and if so what sloutions do any of you have for me to get flex and more bass? Oh just fyi the car is a lincoln towncar

Just curious if there's a reason the Fi Q series isn't showing up on the website...Either way, could someone possibly give me the specs on the 12" sub. I need the detailed specs so I can input the sub on WinISD to attempt a box design.

im looking for 3-4000 watts its going to be for 2 btl or bl's 2+2 coils. im re-modleing my house right now so cash is kinda tight im looking at 2 pca 2000D's, 2 autotec 2000D's or 2 bxi 2006's what do you guys think i should get? or if anyone has a hook up that will work let me know.

And still haven't received it back. I have e-mailed several times over the past few months and not gotten any response. it was a 15" Kicker L7..I contacted Fi and they said they could take try and take care of it. Well they took care of it, but said they had a problem finding an old style dust cap for it. I understood it may not be the exact same before I sent it off. Well I just want an update on the sub and what not. my e-mail is [email protected] I sent it to Vegas if that helps any.

havent heard anything since the crash. but how is progress coming on those 8 inchers? i know yall are busy as hell and all, but are they going to be out any time soon?

How do you recommend to brake in the sub fib l 10?

how much power should i run to 1 ssd12 with flatwound coil and bp power in a sealed box for daily use?

about how many dbs can you get going from 1 sub with say 500 watts to 2 subs with 1000 watts thanks
