General Fi

Ok so i orderd my sub last monday and they billed me thursday and i still havent got a email for a tracking number or anything. Do they start building the sub as soon as your put in your order or do they wait tell you get billed then start building it.

Hey I ordered a D1 SSD 10 awhile ago, with the BP Power option and the copper coil. My tracking number says that my sub came today at 2:11pm and was delivered to my front door, but my mother was here all day and says she never had somebody come to the door. I came home at 3:20 and there was no package outside then. It is now 6:11pm and there is still no sub here. Is this typical with tracking orders from Fi? I contacted UPS and they said to contact Fi. Please get back to me ASAP as I am really worried I will not get my sub. I emailed Scott a little bit ago and just put this up to see if any1 could give me any other info. Thanks, Ross

Also which sub would be best to get for an overall better sub? The fully loaded BTL18 or the RE MX18? the mx looks mean but both seem like good subs.

I was wondering.... would an older btl recone with the leads coming under the spider fit and work in the new BTL Motors? If so what would be the price on just a motor, basket and gasket?

I can't decide on what size driver to get. It will be going into a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The dimensions of the cargo area are approx. 30" x 15" x 42" which is ~10.4 cubic feet, however i'd like to have some space left. I'm thinking about about powering the sub with either a kicker zx 1000 or kx 1200.1(open to other comparable amp suggestions). Any particular advantages to each driver? Would the 15 be louder? I know its all install dependent. I listen to rap/hip hop and classic rock mostly(more hip hop though). Not really going for an SQ system, just want the substage to be tight, responsive, and get loud when i want to? Any input is appreciated.

This may not be directly about an Fi product but i didnt know where else to go to. Hope you guys dont mind...but i was thinking about upgarding to a better amp. I currently have an hifonics bxi1208 powering my 12'' Fi Q with Bp. I was thinking about an audioque 1200d. Would this amp be that much better? All my electrical is stock. My alt is a 130 amp. Thanks

I have a pair of older (boob cone) RE XXX 15s quad 1.7 coils. I would like to reuse the motors on a pair of 18s and would like to know the cost. I have E-mailed FI twice about this, once on feb 27 and again a week ago on may 7th with no response so I am guessing they are not making it through for some reason. (not flaming) I Spoke with Scott back in the day when he built them for me (2003) I'm wondering if it is worth doing or if I should just pony up to the new drivers. I would really love to have a phone # to ask a few questions about my current project and see the best way to go. I understand that these guys are busy and hard to reach but I still like the one on one of…

I have an 18'' Q and I saw that you recomend 6 to 10 cubic feet. What would be the difference in having a box that was 6 cubic feet rather than 10 cubic feet. I was going to tune to 28hz and I listen to country, rock, and rap about all equally. Will the smaller box change on how the sub performs and sounds? Also what's a good idea on how much port area to have. I always get told different answers. Some say 10 inches per cubic foot than some say 12, 15, 16, etc. Thanks

ok first I did see the other post related but said not to reply anymore. anyways I bought my 2 fi bl 15's on oct 12th and only recently recieved an email saying they are awaiting fufillment, does this mean the order did not get started until i got the email about the order? I know they are busy just trying to get an estimated time frame to work with here

hey guys, as the topic states i need recones for 1 mt 12 and 2 mt 15's all in dual .7. Can you please let me know how much they'd be shipped to toronto ontario canada? Thanks alot Don Doyle

Right now in my truck I have a ported enclosure with 2 12" Rockford P3's, 500 watts each. I am new, so to me this is really nice and loud....actually produces a decent amount of SPL, made my rearview mirror fall off a couple times. Anyway, do you think 2 12" or 15" Q's sealed can compete if not beat these. I know they will kill the P3's in SQ, but I dont wanna lose all my SPL. I keep reading these things throw out a nice amount even sealed. THANXXX

I ordered my BTL last sunday and I know it's a busy time with finals and all coming up... does anyone know an idea of how long of a wait it is to get a sub to you? Just wondering...

I need to cut the hole 11 1/16" for my FI.Q right? It won't be here till friday but I'm building the box now. Thanks.

I ordered a BL15 today with all the options and a green dust cap. I'm going to order 1/0 wire as mine are 4 gauge right now. I have a ZX1000.1 for the sub. I have a guy that's going to help with building a custom fiberglass ported box. I have a '05 Mercury Mariner. Other than the bigger power/ground wire to 1/0 should I add a battery in the back? The other amp for the front Focal components is a ZR240.

Ok, here is what is going on....the truck is a 08 Ford F-150. I am going to do a blow through in the truck. I would like to compete once in awhile and just want to get really loud. After taking some small measurements I figure I could fit 4 12's straight across the back or maybe 2 15's. At the moment, I plan on running a Rockford 4000.1 to power them. Of course the 12's would probably be BL's or Q's and the 15's would be BTL's. What would probably perform better out of those? I am going to be new to competition and am not really sure where to go. Any help or questions for me would be great. Thanks.

Hi Guys, Ive been using my BL's for ...i dont know 3 years or so. Awesome drivers. BUT I pulled them out the other day and the motor is showing signs of rust. Not nearly as bad as the terminals on the shitty Samsung TV after a year, but its there. Now I live at the sea and things do go bad around here. How much would it cost to rust proof these things. Maybe can add a few extra options such as Powder-coating and using Stainless where possible. I could post pics, but the fact is they still play just fine and its not nearly as bad as this post might make it sound; just sad to see rust on my babies.

What cleaner could I use to clean the surround on the subs?

Hey everyone, I am going to build a box for 2 Fi Q 10's and I would like to know your opinion on the best bex cubic feet and design wise, to get the absolute best SQ, and should I have it sealed or vented? If vented, how should it be tuned for the best SQ. I want these 10's to have a really, Tight, Bass sound.

well had to rebuild the box for the BTL the lash one shall we say sprung a leak and without much testing was able to do 144 on street beat and take first by 2.5 DB or so. what a combo a beetle and a BTL thanks for makeing this sub.

can i max the gain on the saz1500d without breaking the bl? is 1500wats the max wats that a bl can handle? or can it handle a little more? and what can a saz1500d really produce? coz i know its under rated, thanks!

I had been searching the market and looking for a non-fanboy sub that was loud (I mean LOUD) but could fit in with an SQ setup and stumbled across a forum where I was first introduced to Fi. After some deliberation I made the plunge with a fully loaded Fi BL 12 and I could NOT be happier! Customer service via email is on point. Best of all its made in the USA (even by today's standards that doesn't mean much, but if at least one person in the USA put the sticker on it that said "made in USA" thats at least 1 job still in our country ) I digress... this SUB F'n ROCKS! PUT IT IN THE RIGHT ENCLOSURE!

Is a T1500-1bd Enough for a BTL 18"?

I was wondering what does the "FI" in FI audio stand for? Thanks for any answers.

i went to the local car audio store and one of the employees told me that 15's are unable to play very many rock songs because they "simply cant hit those notes, its impossible" he said. was this guy just feeding me a ton of bs to sell me his product or did he know what he was talking about? ( he also has never heard of FI ) ive had my heart set on two fi bl 15's but after that i dont know if i should reconsider and get 2, maybe 3 12's or even like 4 10's? ( kind of exaggerating, but not completely ) ive got a ford explorer so i have the room to fit this amount of subs.
