General Fi

my friend has a RF T2 15 2010 model, and my other friend has a JL w7 13, and im going to be a proud owner of the FI BL 15 fully loaded... we were wondering which would be a good quality all around sounding woofer? i prefur FI but i would like to get more opinions on this topic...

I have had my 12" BTL for over five months now. Around 4 months ago, i started hearing a poping noise on certain high notes. My first thought was that the box it is installed in caused the sub to reach its mechanical limits. The enclosure is 3 cubes after displacement at 34 hz. I know that this box is over the recommended specs, but i am only giving the sub 1000 watts from an Alpine PDX 1.1000. The sub is fully loaded and i have never heard any clipping out of the amp. When i noticed the popiing noise, I turned my amp gain down to around an eighth of a turn from zero. This gave me very little bass, but it kept the sub from poping so i was satisfied until i could fin…

i have a posting on craigslist for a set of 15 inch btls....the guy said he competes and he was lookin for some heavy duty subs. then he askd if i still had the the FEE BEATLES (fi btls) in case ur slow and dont get it haha

Ok I have a 12" Fi Q and love it! So I was wondering if someone could point me to examples of full range or almost full range 6.5 round drivers for the back seats in the doors. Right now I have full range Pioneer drivers, but was wondering if getting something like AAs Poly Driver would improve the quality of the sound, or should I not bother. Somehow Fi is related to Ascendant Audio, not sure how though.. Thanks. Mike

Ok so everyone keeps telling me to go get the big 3 upgrade done cuz its a pretty simple way to relieve stress from numerous things. Ok so i go to my local shop today to get a quote and learn a lil more about what it takes to do it. The guy comes out and looks at my car and i tell him the 3 wires that i want to upgrade to 0g. so he comes in and starts crunching numbers on his calculator and comes up with a price of $263??? I almost walked out of the store right there haha but all the stuff was good quallity. all was RF power and ground wires and new terminals and rings and the whole 9 yards. but nobody every told me that i would need all this stuff for a big 3 upgrade. So…

What up SSA I want to first say that IF ANYONE HAS THE NEW FULLY LOADED 18" FI BTL'S I AM LOOKING TO BUY. I WILL VERIFY WEATHER THEY ARE FULLY LOADED I HAVE MY SOURCES TRUST ME. I have a couple of questions for the crowd and if you don't like this question or heard it before simply don't bother being a prick about it I simply want to gain some knowledge we all have to sometime. Anyway I currently own a 1994 chevy suburban and I want to take only the third seat out to make room for 4 18" Fi Btl's. I have 2 Kole audio 5500 amplifiers and they are ran by the kicker 1/0 gauge amp kit. I want to know what I have to do to really get my future subs to bang like the beasts they a…

A friend of mine sold one of his 2 Xcons 15". He wants to change to BTL N2. He is ready to buy the first BTL. He will buy the second as soon as he sells the second Xcon. So I need a quote for one BTL N2 15" D1 fully loaded. We'll tell you the color for the dustcap later. Here is the adress : RUE DE LA DORSALE RES AIGUE MARINE; APT 33. BAT A1 97200 FORT-DE-FRANCE MARTINIQUE (FWI) I've already bought a 12" BTL N2 D2 from you in january this year, and will probably make some more purchases from you. I know it's not fun to fill all those international custom papers, but we love your subs ! Sorry !!!

I came across this on the other side of the net. Could this be a sign of things to come? The back plate and basket spacer are different than that of the original ufo. Lets here it Fi, inquiring minds want to know.

im curious as to how the back end functions at Fi. do orders come in, get qued, and built one at a time or batch jobs? are orders saved up until there is sufficient quantity to make it efficient for construction to begin or is it just on the fly?

Ordered it Saturday night and im now eagerly waiting...

Hey guys, I thought it would be a good idea if we could have a place to check the status on our subs upon request. With the new contest, I thought it would be a great addition to the board. The UPS tracking number is one way to check, but when your in my situation, about 4+ days for an SSD, I think it would be nice to know how your sub is doing, and when it will ship out. I know the guys at Fi are busy, and although this would be a great addition to the forum, they have the final call if this thread is a go. So I will start. Please include your name, e-mail, day payment was recieved, and type of subwoofer.

Cant seem to get a response to any email ordered an Fi Q10 on the 1st of Oct and have gotten no emails or anything all i have is my paypal confirmation saying that i payed them can someone please help me out

I just registered over here, and Ive seen some of you on other forums that will know my setup, but Im sure alot of you dont. I got 4 18" BTLs, 8 Sundown SAZ-1500Ds, 10 Kinetik HC2400s, and a 300amp alt. The enclosure specs is 6.5ft, 35hz, 100sq in of port. Sorry, this video is real crappy. Its kinda hard to make a good video when I have like 20 seconds left on the camera and the battery is going to die.

So I get this e-mail saying the status of the order I placed on Nov-30 has changed. The item has shipped. Pretty fhawking cool I thought, and went on my merry way. I figured it'd come some time after X-mas. Later in the day, I was out in the garage getting ready to do an oil change when the FedEx truck pulls up. WTF!? Sho nuff, the delivery man drops this off: No way, I just got the email, I thought to myself... Well I guess the automated Fi customer update system is still set to BTL UFO order fulfillment schedule. On a side note it looks like FedEx is on a roll with punching holes in the sides of boxes. Spoiler Alert! Everything checked out fine. On to the pic…

so i have decided to go with fi subs and audique amps for my next setup. it will be going in a 99 grand prix gtp. budget is 1500 for the bass setup. it will be playing mostly hard rock and metal, with a little rap on the side. goals for this system are mostly output, i obviously don't want it to sound like complete crap, but the main goal is output. also this is my daily driver, no comps for me. so after a little background info on what i'm looking for, back to the root question... which setup would have more output? option 1: 4 fi ssd 12's running on an audioque 3500 option 2: 2 fi btl 12's running on 2 audioque 2200 plan was to go ported to 33 hz on either option. opt…

Hey guys, First of all Happy new year to everyone @ Fi Car Audio. It was a great year with your products and hope it was a great year in sales for you. Down to business, I have aquired an RE XXX v3 motor from a craigslist sale. (paid 150 for it) Its spiders were off of the landing and luckily no one who had the sub knew that was the problem, Hopefully I can glue them down and the coil didn't rub too much. I see you guys have a recone option for RE 3x, guessing thats the xxx you just cant use the name for copyright purposes. It says that the recones are good for 2005 models and up, but I have a XXX motor that uses XBL^2 technology (I think its 2006 model). Im guessin…

So I got my 2 Q 15's installed in the box (7cuft @ 32Hz), running off an AQ2200D, and installed my 36sqft of Damplifier Pro (great stuff FYI) but I seem to be having a problem getting the bass into the cabin. I knew that I'd probably run into this problem with such a big box so I'm weighing my options now. The box is rear facing, and when I pull it within about 6"-8" from the back of the car the bass seems to be the "best", but I still have limited clearance around the top and sides of the box. The bass sounds extremely peaky at higher frequencies (60-80Hz) and I believe this is because the trunk is actually functioning something like a double vented bandpass and blocking…

Having 2! Just picked up my new toy, hopefully gonna have it ready for bassrace finals! 8 15'' Fi Q's 2 SS 6500xxx's 5 NSB 125's!

I just got everything set up in my car. Running a FI 15 BL And a SAZ-1500d I will post pictures tomorrow And maybe a video.

First time Fi buyer! Just finished building and installing my new box for my SSD. Everything is ready to go except..... no subwoofer. I was told by Nick within the past two weeks that it would ship around last friday. Status on the website has said "awaiting fulfillment" for the past 16 business days. Just really anxious to get this thing. People say they are definitely worth the wait, but I have never heard one before, and don't want to finally get this thing and be "not so impressed" 2.3 (net) cubes tuned about 35hz with roughly 35 sq.in of port. will be running on a p1000.1bd. My hopes are high and don't want them to be crushed after this long wait. Any idea o…

This is all crammed in a 2001 Ford Supercrew, my rear trim panel is not installed yet and yes you can get a ported box in a Supercrew and keep the back seats. 2 Fi SSD 10's Sundown SAE-1200D JL Audio 300/4 CDT 6.5" Components in Front Doors Alpine 6.5" Components in Kick Panels What do you think?
