General Fi

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?

I have seen a couple old threads about these 22 inch subs but I have not read anything of them in the last few months. Did they ever come out? Also what were their specs, price, etc...?

Hello to ya all.. Just wanted to introduce myself- my name is Jarvis and I'm 17 years old. I am from state of Indiana, and i own a 95 Ford Explorer.. A member from forums mainly about explorers introduced me to this forum.. which i found many cool stuffs and helpful informations.. I am very interested in buying a Fi subwoofer anytime soon.. I m currently saving money for the sub, shouldnt be too long since I got a job.. I just got some questions before i can ask more questions.. I just want to ask the question to people who has experience with Fi.. I am debating on which to get- a 15 inch Q or a 15 inch BL? I know that Q is provided as is while BL has some options, bu…

For those that don't make it SMD Here it is. It's a D1 model, in series for the video. They are going in for a recone to change the ohms of the coil. I told my wife we were doing it, i guess she didn't know what to expect. You will hear I got busted. The lights in the house were dimming pretty bad. you can see it in the video. The dust cap was warm and the felt pads had burn marks from the tinsel leads. It sticks really bad but it still works. http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c112/bag...nt=100_4240.flv after The woofer still stinks. It moves freely, but i hooked it up again to get a reading at my house panel. We have digital meters in our area now. my normal Kwh is betwe…

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

1:Is there a difference between these two? 2: Does the filter have to match the boxes tuning? Or is there an acceptable range? I have the RF T-2500.1BD amp with a 28Hz infrasonic filter. 3: If I use a box that is tuned at 32Hz, will this be sufficient? 4: If not where can I find a good subsonic filter? Thank you for any answers or suggestions.

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

i just placed my order for a 12" Q dual 1 ohm... just a quick question when im going to recieve like a traking number or something... i recieved a mailed (more like an automatic mail) saying that the order is recieved.. im i getting another one saying that you guys started building my sub or the next one is the one with the traking number? thanks and i cant wait for the sub

Hey guys, Im brand new to this forum and hope to be around here for awhile. Now im getting a car very soon and i love sound! So now i need your advice. I dont want to spend as much as the BTL and dont need THAT much power and the amps would cost more. So i would really love to just get the SSD if i knew there wasnt a huge difference between it then the BL. I dont want the Q as there the same price as the BL.. Know which would you get and what amps would be the best for the price. Thanks, Sam Also i was thinking 2 12's or 2 15's. I have a Infiniti 1999 Qx4. And im pretty sure im going to get the SSD. NOW could/would i be able to get a 2 channel amp? So i would only ha…

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

im lookin for one 18" sub, ive got plenty of power to push either the BTL or BL, so power isnt an issue, im lookin for a daily sub thats good for rock or rap, would the daily BTL be alright for pounding for bout 10 to 15 mins cuz i usually only listen to music on my way to work or on my way home, other than that im stuck at the house, or should i stick with the BL?

Hey guys i have a 05 Rx8 and im ready to put a system in it. The rx8 has probably the smallest trunk in the world haha. i was wondering if i can put the FI BL 12 ported in a 1.5^3 ported box. or should i just get a 1 12 Fi Q sealed in a 1.5^3. i was also looking at the new Re Se-x, will 2 12 se-x be louder then the 1 12 Fi Q? thanks you.

Which would be best? A US Amps XT2000D (1200 rms), US Amps XT4000D (1500 Rms), Hifonics BXI-1600d (1600 rms, but probably closer to 1200), Power Acoustik OV1-4000D (Says 2200 rms, but ?), PA PS1-3000D (1700 rms, but ?) (is PA good?),

right now, my set-up is what i got in my sig... i was thinking about getting another ssd. i was lookin for reasonable priced amps that could power two ssd 12"s. i was looking at the SPL DK-3400D and the SPL FX1-5500D. It says their THD at Rated RMS Power 0.50%... I read that good amps have <.1% THD... Is .4% difference that much? And I know that the rms wattage is a little different but these two amps are fairly close in price, why is that?

Hi guys, I installed my 12" BTL N2 2 days ago. The box is ported to 32 Hz, 2.1 ft3. I run a Sundown saz 1500 at 1 ohm. Last night I took time to test this setup and I was surprised to hear a strange sound at the highest volume. I kept the exact same settings than with my previous setup (1 ssa xcon 15" on the same amp). On a certain note on a song from Mike Jones a weird sound is coming from the sub, and not in the port. On low bass notes there is no problem, but on a higher note the sub reacts badly : how can I describe it ? Like a sheet of paper moving ! It's scarry. I need to turn down the gain on the amplifier. I checked the inside of the box, nothing was loosed, …

What am I supposed to do will all dem subwoofers

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…

im stoked about my design i got from Pete now the hard part is having it built...still tryna find someone to build it for me cuz i have no expierience with wood work nor do i have tools to cut the wood has anyone on here bought blueprints from Pete? if so how did you like it? well this is goin in a 07 ext cab tacoma

Hmmm...What could this be?? New Sub From Fi? I think so...But how big? This Big... I have a Shoe Size 15-16 Should have it up and running either friday afternoon or saturday morning...

Its hard to keep up as you guys probably understand "Sactown Car audio" and "Tapout" are the latest......the Sactown one having some decent Excurt' on the subs.... scroll to the bottom.......theres 75 or more vids total http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/index.php...3&Itemid=42

Hey guys, I've got a 1200w Diamond Audio amp to work with, and was wondering what would sound best at that wattage - the Fi SSD or the Fi Q? Thanks!

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 have been slowly putting my system together, and I'm about ready to add the mono amp, replace the subwoofer, add sound dampening, and bring my front stage up to full power. To give you guys an idea of what I'm working with: H/U - Alpine CDE-9872 Front Stage - CDT ES-620 6.5" Component Speakers, rated 150W RMS @ 4ohm Rear fills - Stock, connected to H/U, going to stay that way Amp - TMA T320.4, currently hooked up to the front stage, 60W x 2 @ 4ohm, and the subwoofer on 2 channels total of 120W (will upgrade this amp at a later date, its pretty low-end, even though its made by JL) Subwoofer - TMA T12S4P, rated at 150W @ 4ohm, currently running at 120W @ 4ohm The curre…

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…

Can you say Pissed? damn sub fuckin sucks on lows.. i want to sell this crap asap and get another sp4 or btl..
