General Fi

i just got my 15" n2 btl fully loaded. I was wordering how long does it take to break it in? How many watts should i put on it until its broke in?

I know you have old parts laying around from subs you have worked on in the past. Any chance you have any RE RE series voice coils laying around? Yes I realize they are cheap subs and probably not worth the recone. I think I bought them for 56 shipped each(4). But if I get bored one day it could be fun. Anyway, let me know. If not no big deal

Hi I have been looking around at this Forum and now I find myself checking it each time im online. I've been looking at the Fi subs(very impressed btw) and im now very interested in a fully loaded 18" BTL. Now if i were to run a Hifonics BXi 2607D would I need to get the dual2ohm BTL? and wire it in parallel? Also what upgrades would I be looking at in my electrical system? (new alt, a few batterys) I plan on taking out a backseat in my Ford Fusion for the BTL. Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks and merry "late" Chrismas!

THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN MY PLANS FOR A SETUP My goals: To max out the sound in my car, possible spl competition, but i just really want to get loud. MY FIRST SETUP IDEA SETUP 1: 2 Fi BL 12" on a Sundown 3000d, custom box tuned to specified frequency Polk 6.5 Component Speakers with tweeters RaamMat Irragi 250 amp alternator 1 yellow top start up battery, with a powermaster 1200d battery in the trunk NOW, I PLAN TO SAVE MONEY FOR A MUCH LOUDER SYSTEM, BUT START OUT WITH A SIMPLE SYSTEM LIKE THIS http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=8559 ***Associated with this, I will buy the yellow top startup battery, pioneer head unit, 6 Polk Audio comp. speakers …

Invoice number: I-10425/00 I was wondering if this sub will be finished by the end of the week? I have a competition to go to on 4-22-2007. The reason I ask is I need to get this insatll done before the competition and work out any of the bugs that I might run into. Thanks

A simple question, maybe not a simple answer though. I am looking to (maybe) invert my 15" BTL when I get it. The whole reason why I want to do this is to give the woofer as much air as it wanted and to use the trunk as the entire box. Saving room would be a plus but isn't really needed. I know some subs simply cant be mounted this way. The more I think of it the more I actually think the BTL may not be able to. Dont think though that this will make or break me getting a sub, just an idea.... http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5601 (some guy posted a program to help with box cubic feet calculations)

Scott and Guys My buddy just recieved his Q 12's and one of them was damaged in shipping pretty bad.He was planing to have his instal started at the end of this week.What does he need to do to get this taken care of as quik as possible? Eddie from Wasco

Whats a better amp the (this is for one Fi BTL 15) Sundown Audio SAZ-1500D Or HIFONICS BXi-2006D (BXi2006D) MONO 2000W BRUTUS Series AMPLIFIER I was thinking the Sundown but i heard other people saying Hifonics.

With Just 2 12'' Q's No bp option in a ported box tuned to 32hz, with 2 pdx 600.1 amps i hit 149.5 dbs at 48 hz yesterday, a coulpe more points and ill be right where i wanna be.. thanks scott and nick for the box reccomendations, scott told me it would be loud..

Would it be better to get a fully loaded bl or q? Sundown says the new 1200 is capable of closer to 1400 given you have the electrical to back it up.

So I am starting to plan out my first system and have done some research and found fi. Looks like really nice stuff. I am looking at putting a Q10 in my 95' s10 extended cab. Probably in a sealed box after reading other news about the q series. how big do you think this should be? I thinking about pairing it with a sundown amp but was wondering if there was anything comparable for a little less cash. Also, how much upgrading will i have to do to my electrical system? Big three is going to happen soon, but what about a yellow top battery or anything like that? Thanks a lot.

I need to get a recone for a D2 BTL15. Just need to know where to paypal the money to. I tried emailing but didn't get a response yet. Thanks

Im thinking about going with 4- 12" ssd's, ive got around 6 cubes to work with and 3000 watts, do you think the subs would get off like they are supposed too?

Hey everyone, I'm new here! I'm about to put some bass back into my car finally. Just hoping you guys can be a little better help than RoE was. So I'm thinking I want to go with 1 12" SSD and I'm looking at a Hifonics BXi1206D amp. I'm only looking to spend about $600 on everything. Now a few questions: Do you think that amp is a good match? What type of box should I run? (I like real powerful bass) And is my 4ga wire going to be enough. (I already have a Rockford Fosgate p400.4 hooked up to my door's) Thanks in advance!

is is pronounced as fe or fi as in hi-fi i think as fi as in hi-fi the gf thinks its fe

I ordered a 15 q dual 1 ohm with cooling on 2/13. I work at best buy and get a great deal on kicker amps. Today the kx1200 dropped in price and is now in my price range. Problem is it is 1 ohm stable and the amp i previously picked out was 2 ohm stable. So i ordered the dual 1 ohm. I need to change my order. I need a dual 2 ohm instead. Is this possible?

I ordered subs at the begenning of the week for my son. I was wondering if there was a timetable for these to be completed? No rush, just wondering if they would be in for Christmas? I checked their website for my order status, but it just said they were getting the payment from paypal? if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it!

Hey all. I am going to be purchasing a Fi sub in the next few weeks and I have a quick question. Is the 18'' BL noticeably louder than the 15''?

2 18 fi btls 2 sundown 3000ds, iraggi 260 amp alt, 2 kinetik 3800s, 4/0 grounds, 2 runs 1/0 power wire optima up front.

I finally got my btl but as i was looking and drooling over it i noticed that there are no mounting holes lol does this happen often and do i just drill them myself ?
