    For a while i have been pondering on whether to get a fully Loaded 15" Btl or 2 12" Q's I know that they are in very different (technology wise), but i have read alot on these forums that sometimes cone area can over come better machinery they are relatively the same price when it all comes down to it. They will be ran off of a AudioQue 2200D I just want opinions (not criticism) on which sub/subs you guys think will pound harder. I have a 03 trailblazer and i like lows Box will be ported and built accordingly

  2. My payment for my Fi Q w/ bp power was cleared on April 10th. I still have not received a UPS tracking number via e-mail. I used Paypal to make the purchase. Would my location be the problem of this delay? I live in IL btw.

    Heres the install vehicle. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3306527 Heres the problem. These brackets each have 2 8g runs coming into them. Anyone else ever have this issue? The battery bay is rather small, so choices on aftermarket batteries are limited. Help is greatly appreciated.

    I have an 2001 Cadillac Deville. I have a Rockford Fosgate T4001bd and am looking for subs. I have been really looking at the Fi Btl's and the RE MT's but not exactly sure what size i can get do to box size would really like to 18 as im trying to be as loud as possible and have heard good things about the 18" fi subs but not sure if the box would have tto be too big after looking at some oof meades builds but maybe some of you who have installed some setups like this could help. So i figured i would come here for advice.

    Hey everyone. I am new to not only this forum but to FI as well. I have always had "eh" subs that are sold in my area. I currently have 2 10" RF T1's in a 3 cu ft enclosure....I am lookin to upgrade to something louder and better and am not sure of which sub to go with. I listen to 75% heavy rap, 10% techno, and 15% heavy metal. I like SPL mostly, but want to retain some SQ. Are the Q's or BL's a better replacment for what I have?

    If you read my other posts, you pretty much know what I want. I am doing a blowthrough in the bed of my truck. To save some room, I am debating on doing either 2 15" BTL's or 4 12" subs. I know no matter what I do I am gonna need an upgrade electrical wise. I have already decided on a 300 amp alt no matter what I do (wanting to be extra safe) and big 3. Here is where the question kicks in. If I do 4 12" BTL's, how much more ($$$$ wise) would this costs in upgrades (batteries, etc) than if I did say 4 12" Q's/BL's or 2 15" BTL's???? Also, SORRY 4 BEING A PAIN, but does anyone know if Hifonics amps are good, mainly looking at the Brutus at the moment. Not bad price, …

    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!

    Well I hate to announce it before it happens but since Scott's private message box is full....here is what I sent you. Been awhile since we chatted. I FINALLY got a call from the photographer today to set up the photoshoot for Car Audio and Electronics. We will be doing it this month between the 17th-19th. He will call me tomorrow for the actual time and date and location! I will keep you posted. Yes fellas you WILL be seeing Fi in a featured car, but then again with my chitty luck I will be in the "Choices" section.
