Hey, I am new to the forums and car audio and general and have a couple of questions. Firstly I have a budget of about $1000.00 for a sub/amp/amp kit/box. I am planing to pick up either a Fi Audio BL12 or the Q12. I am planning to on matching either sub with the US Amps XT-2000D http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=5309 Anywho, I listen to rap and house, and I just want an upgrade for my daily driving. I understand the Q has superior SQ, and the BL has superior SPL. Which sub would be ideal for my listening needs?? Also theres alot of mods you can have with the Q and BL that I don't understand that I would greatly appreciate some clarity on... For the…

I'm trying to figure which I would be better off doing a 15" N2 in 5 cuft box after port displacement or a 18" N2 in the same size box and same power tuned to 32 hz. What are some of the opinions of what I would lose/gain over going with the 18 as opposed to the 15 other than more cone area? I was thinking I might lose a little low end and get higher box rise on the 18" but then again I'm not 100% sure. I'm doing a build on my friends car while he's away. the car is a 04 sebring convertible. As far as power goes it'll be 1.5-2.5k. Not sure what I want to go with yet as he is not a very responsible listener and I'm probably going to have to glue the gain down to keep hi…

Just noticed they are up, but why no 18?

Just out of curiosity, what is the operating temperature of the magnets in the BTL N2. I'm sure Fi researched this, but I was just curious. From what I can gather, the operating temperature for ferrite magnets is around 300*C, but the operating temperatures for neodymium magnets is quite lower (source). What grade exactly is the magnets used in the N2? As in, is there a letter following the "N48"? I don't know exactly how hot the magnets get, but I read that voice coils can exceed 150*C. Thanks!

Hey nick, just sent you an email about the recones, thanks.

i know a guy just made a thread about a tc9 recone but i didn't want to jack his thread. so yea im wondering how much a dual 2 ohm 15" recone would be for a TC-9+ motor, i already have a 15"12 spoke basket for it. shipped to zip 55407. Thanks -Lance

Well, I am making my own "Fi Car Audio" decals for my windows and I need a pretty big copy of the Fi logo. The decal is 6x4 inches. Scott can you give me a copy of a big sized one?

like the title states, looking for a Fi ssd motor (from the newer ssd's) if anyone has one laying around or a blown ssd or a fully functional ssd if the price is right. Somebody help me out! thanks guys.

Hey guys! So I just bought a brand new 2010 cobalt Lt 2 door and I am lookin to throw a 12" BTL in it! One problem is the trunk is Small!!!! My old sub box wont even fit and its not as beefy as an Fi it was an Orion hcca 10" But I really want this sub so I was thinking of getting the Fi built into the trunk Like Fiber glass or something. You guys are really helpful so I was wondering does this seem like a good idea to you? any other adivce perhaps? I would give you the trunk specs but its drark right now I can get them tomorrow. Has anybody tried na Fi in a custome trunk? thanks for any help!

hey i was just wondering if i could get a quote for; replacing a broken magnet slug, and a recone plus shipping both ways on a 05 xxx. shipping weight would be around 65lbs and its shipping from 87401 thanks again guys!

hey whats up fellow bassheads, i had bought my had a 12" re seX for christmas and he has loved it in a sealed box. Ok so he needed to use my car the other day for a trip so he let me use his truck for work. So i was checking out his settings on his amp to see if they are where they should be and the bass boost was on a little bit so i turned it off. ok so i went back to check out how the sub was doing and i gently pushed down on the cone to see how stiff it still was. when i pushed down easily i felt like a scrubbing or kind of a gringing against something?? I have no idea what this could be or could it be blown? i thought it was not normal but then again it doesnt sound …

Hey, i killed my MT this weekend, i tried it by chpw that sells RE in germany, but they dont got any recones. so could i get a MT 18 recone from you guys? its powered by 2 Sundown saz3000d, 3kw da

Hello Fi, A friend of mine has a pro audio set up, and needs to know if it is possible to have recone kits for some Aura subs. They use Neodymium (?) . He loves how they sounds, they play low and loud ! I can show you pics of the drivers when he send them to me. He has several ones to recone, they are very old ! These speakers won't go in a car, just in big boxes for live events. thanks

looking to put a sub in my DD just to add some kick to the stock system. I'v been looking at the Q and the Bl, Both 10" and 12" models. I like realy deep tones but the thing doesn't need to get really loud, i could never meter it. I have limited Space seeings as i got a 2006 Mustang and the truck is a bitch. Thanks Trey.

I have a 12" BTL with all the bells and whistles, and I decided to get a dual 1 ohm and not a dual 2 ohm sub. My question is: can I wire the dual 1 to to go with an amp that does one ohm. Or am I left with getting an amp that does two ohms(if so what will be a good amp for the BTL at 2 ohms)

I just picked up the subs I bought my brother for xmas 2 years. Still brand new in the box, x series(12's). I was contemplating buying a saz 1500d. I looked at the specs for it and it said that its 400w at 4 ohms. I have also read this amp is under rated in terms of power. So will this amp run these 2 subs? The alterior motive behind this amp is I will probably upgrade to q's in the next 6 months or so as well. Any help would be appreciated....

i need 1 18" basket to recone my MT to an 18. shawn, since you're closest, if your around tampa one day, maybe i could get it from you? let me know how much one is either way, even including shipping to 33603.

Just Need A Simple FI Logo. Black Text On A White Background. Thank You !

Would it sound ok to put an Fi SSD in a 1.00 cu.ft. enclosure with a port tuned to 35 hz?

emailed one week ago and no reply, bl 12 fully loaded shipped to malaysia, who can help here ?

i have a btl 15 last years model just ordered this years model (n2) trying to get a box build for both the subs but dont know if all the measurements are the same just need some info thanks........

Alright so heres my situation. I currently have 2 12"alpine type R's. They are dual 4ohms and i have them wired up at 1ohm on my mtx amp. My amp is a ta7801 which is advertised at 1200w rms at 1ohm. But the birth/dyno sheet with the amp is 1663rms. I am pretty happy with this setup but just like everone else, you always want something newer and louder. Well a buddy of mine just offered me 300 for just the subs and custom box i built. Considering i payed 115 a peice for the subs this really got me thinking. Well through a couple people i know and just seeing on the internet Fi audio makes some good stuff. So here is my real question and goals. What would be the best sub fo…
