General Fi

Title is self explanatory. What is the star (*) for on the RMS wattage on the BL series?

Recently a memeber of ROE stated that someone (a dealer) was trying to sell him FI SSDs at an inflated price. When i saw this, it put a red flag up in my head. http://realmofexcursion.com/forum/showpost...amp;postcount=1 Its a place called "Pure Pressure Audio" in Gainsville Florida, I just did a quick google and it came up http://purepressureaudio.com/default.aspx "- Install by Step Harris of Pure Pressure Audio" was in his signature. So I'm assuming thats the guy who's trying to sell him the subs. And he said Step, so it seems to me someones trying to make a quick buck off FI

im gonna put a fully loaded dual 1 ohm fi btl in a 98' ford explorer and have an AQ 3500D powering it with a kinetik hc2400. the only thing im not sure on is a box for the BTL. i want the box to provide the most SPL. if anyone could help me it would be most appreciated.

Just wondering what I would get if I order the xxx recone kit? I was planning on getting a basket as well. Does it come with the gasket, terminals, screws, etc? Just want to know what I need besides glue.

I just ordered 2 fi Q 15s Friday (02/06/09). I know that it takes 2-3 building days plus the time it takes to deliver but I have heard that UPS just leave yr stuff at the door if they dont get an answer. Where i live if u leave stuff out it WILL be stolen. Is there a way for me to to find out the status of my order and its tracking number? Thanks

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!

I just ordered the 15" Q along with the Sundown 1000 amp. I have had the Ascendant Audio Atlas 15 for the longest time. I thought to myself, maybe it's time to move on, so I did. Saw the awesome deal on this site for the amp, jumped on that. I did have one question, I was looking at getting some 0 gauge wire. Looking at KnuKoncepts wire. I just need to figure out the fuse size. What size should I get? I was leaning towards like 150~200A Thanks Sunny

Is there a way to find out how much output I will lose if I go from 15" BLs to 12" BLs with the same variables on the same power?

Hey guys wanting to buy the 12" N2 looks bad ass. Just need some help with the box. Could somebody please give me some complete specs for the reccomened size the box should be. I am going to get a friend to build it lol. Thanks guys for any help. Rock on guys

I have an avalanche that will be shipped to you soon for a recone, but it's for the guy that bought it from me. He's paying for the recone and the billing information that will be supplied will be his... I was wondering if I can get a new gasket, because the one I have has a cut about .75" long on top of it, and I'd like it to look good and I forgot that I had switched it between a different driver and I didn't state it in my F/S thread. I couldn't find these gaskets for an 18" online, I saw some for 15" and under but were wayy to expensive, 15+ 45 shipping, which is retarded. I'll write on the paper/information that it needs a recone and a new gasket, unless I can get an…

hi i recently palced an order a on may 17 and was wondering the status of my order because paypal says that the payment that was sent is unclaimed by ficaraudio.com???? can someone pls let me know the status of me order...thanks Invoice number: I-14303/00

I know I saw an illustration somewhere on how to setup the wiring. Can someone post it here so I can get ready for the arrival of my 12 Q tomorrow!!! Thanks much appreciated! Mike

I have a sae 1200 sundown amp, I need dual 2 for a 15 inch Q right? Also, Knu's 4 gauge is big enough, right?

why does it on every single Subwoofer on the Fi website it says N/A for the sealed box size

We're planning out and gathering funds for our new build in a 98 durango. We're walling off at the b pillar and basically have more room than we know what to do with. We could really build a box as big as 50cubes if we'll be sitting on 4x18" BTLs tuned to 30hz for daily and pulling an RTA out to meter the wall to find the best high output frequency to tune to(yet to be determined obviously). Amps will be rather 4x rockford power 4000's or 4xMemphis 4000's depending on how money sits. Rockfords are obviously the preferred choice but at a bit of a cost. Since we have the room, should we just stay at a max of 32 cubes or run a larger box? I mean with a 3rd magnet and all t…

Hi, I ordered an 18 Q yesterday and I just wanted to check that the payment went through. Thanks! Brendan

hey whats up guys. well i've had my set up for about a 3 years now and im thinking it is time to start over. i love my set up now but i just want more. rite now i have just 1 re XXX (04) 15, and i love it to death. Powered by a jl 1000/1. i've been on this site looking for about 4 weeks and i think i narrowed it down but not sure. I want to do a wall in my truck (04 dodge ram QC), so i was thanking 2 or 4 15's. would like to do 2 18 or 6 12. IT just do to money i just want to get something i can afford and still pound like hell. Im more into SQ not a big fan of who can make the loudest fart. I love clean and low low bass (what i love the most), the ones that make pa…

Right now I have 2 15" Fully loaded Fi BTL's old triple stack magnets. One needs a recone. They are daily versions as well. How do I know if I need to get the flat wind coil or the xmax coil? Assuming I need to get the same as my other one I dont know what it is cause I got it used. Would fully loaded mean mine have the xmax coil? Thanks!

I did a Google search for Brahma recones, and this was the only real result I got back. I know Fi's not Adire Audio, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm pretty sure I blew one or both voice coils on my Adire Brahma, and I was wondering if you sell recone kits, so I could take the sub to a local shop to get it reconed, or if I could ship the sub to you and get it reconed. The sub is a 15" Adire Brahma, Mk I or Mk II, I can't tell the difference, it's got the four spoke basket though. Dual 2 ohm voice coils. The cone and surround are absolutely fine, I'm pretty sure i just cooked one or both of the voice coils (sub still plays, but only plays quiet, sound…

I was wondering if someone knew the measurements of the FI t shirts and hoodies? I've emailed them 2 and still no respond I am a 6+ft tall male and im either a size L, XL, or XXL. (most likey bigger then a L) I need the horizontal and vertical measurements as well as the sleeve length, thank you!

I'm wondering when to order my 15" SSD. I want to order it after Christmas I figured just wait until the 29th, the Monday after Christmas. ???

Just want to say how happy. I am I do not regret buying these subs they are all they are cracked up to be. Well worth the money and wait they are everything I've been looking for and then some. They are amazing subs and if your considering a sub from FI do not hesitate. Here's some pics as for a review They drop low when I say low I mean low. Think gut wrenching. I put on the silicon sound system test which goes through cycles and I could not belive what I was feeling and hearing the lower it got the more they shined. I did'nt realize what kinda power I had back there as none of the other subs I've had on that amp have really made me say wow. I mean they were loud …

i was just wondering if we could just pick up our subs, instead of shipping them?

ok well i bought 2 subs a few months back and one of em ended up blowin. so i got scotts number and called him. he told me to send it in and theyd look at it and try n fix it. it has been about 2 months now since i sent it off and i havnt heard from them since. i have emailed scott and nick and ive tried calling scott and no answer what so ever. i understand they are busy but i would atleast think they could answer a phone. i mean seriously......2 months. hopefully one of them will answer me on here

Hope everybody has a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be spending time with the family...so we will not have an official fireside chat tonight. Stop in next week!
