    OK so the other day I was showing off my BTL to some friends. Gain is set correctly with dmm, and about 10 seconds in to a song the sub makes a weird noise and then freezes. Well I am thinking I fried the sub and Ill need a recone kit, which made me upset to start with because I only gave it like 2400wrms. Well I take the sub out of the box and what do i find? Not a burnt coil. But a broken magnet on the motor. The magnet is litterally cracked and pushed in and caused the coil to scratch and get stuck. What would cause this? And how can I get it fixed. This sub was never abused.

  3. How goes it guys. It has been quite awhile since I have last posted anything or had any questions. Well, 2 weeks ago I got in a car accident with stupid tourist who was slightly drunk. My poor Silverado was toasted along with everything in it. The only thing that really lived was my head unit...sigh, it was junk anyway. So, needless to say, this morning I got a brand new 08 Silverado...thanks to my insurance and the threat of a law suit against the guy. Anyway, I wanted to try something a little different, but am not entirly sure. So, before I start asking questions, here are my goals. I wanna get fairly loud but sound good doing it. I am not talking about all out…

    Ok, so after talking to others, it has come down to these two. I want to compete, probably only ever gonna be local comps. I know i prob will not beat my friends ranger (a wall with RE 18's, cant SX's I think) but I wanna beat these guys the say Kicker are the best subs ever created. At the moment I have a RF4000.1 sitting around I got from a shop that closed down for pretty much nothing. I am doing a blow through in an 08 Ford F-150 FX2. Here is my tough decision. I can run this one amp and push 4 12" BL's or I can get 2 15" BTL's when the new models come out, and when money is good, do even more electrical upgrades and get a 2nd RF4000 for and seperate one RF4000 …

    Wow. that describes it. Last night I heard a 15" btl ran off of 1500 watts and it was so loud. I just ordered a 15" bl on thursday and if my sub gets any where near as loud as that one im gonna be pretty happy. After getting that little taste of fi im impressed.

    Hi guys, I have tried to contact Fi via e-mail a few times withing the last couple weeks, but no response. I would like to get a sub to Canada, and was wondering if it is possible to ship one out to Canada directly. The only options I see in checkout are UPS to the lower 48. I would prefer FedEx or USPS. It is for: 12" Fi.BL Dual2 Cooling ($40) Flatwind ($20) Daily Thanks.

    kinda new to FI and this forum. I have a 99 mustang want to do one 15 in the trunk in a 5.5 cf box. i have a audiobahn a1500hct rated at 2000 watts @ 1ohm. my question is can a fully loaded bl handle this or should i get stock btl? i won't be competing in spl comps jus want something to beat on every now and again. btw i will be replacing alt with a 220 amp alt and yellow top under the hood. any advice would be good.

  15. Everyone will find out shortly! Hopefully by the end of next week to be precise. Specs: (2) 12" Fi SSD's 4cf enclosure, braced and 45'd, 75+ sq inces of port tuned to 38hz Autotek 1900.1D should be close to 2.3k watts @ 14v, Hopefully around 1150 watts per sub. 2 YT G31's 220a HO alt 2 runs of 0/1 I have faith they will, we had 2 SSD's on a SAZ-1500 @ .5 ohm and they took it like a CHAMP. Don't worry, we will have pics and vids no matter what the outcome. If they blow, then I guess it will be time for another pair of BL's.

    I used the search feature and all i can find is threads where people want a recone. Questions: 1. Is there a link to something that explains exactly what a recone is 2. What are the benefits? 3. When do you know when you need a recone?

    Hey guys I have a couple of questions on the 12 Q's :] And this would be my first set up.(I'm a noob) Are this good SQ speakers with good bump to them? What Sundown amp would be good for this? Or if possible what other amps would be good? I was lookin at the Mmats amps.(I heard there really good) Also would the speakers sound diferent if I order them with BP power? I would be getting both for 518 without BP power wich is a really nice price. Also my box would not be that big for this speakers since I have a toyota celica st but I have a friend in florida that makes custom boxes and he told me that if the enclosure is made good like dimensions, tunning etc it will sound go…
