General Fi

Ok I got my X's in and will be installing them within the next couple of days. I will be ruinning them off of the sub channel of a 25 to Life Power 1000 rated for 300w Rms at 4ohm and 800w Rms at 1ohm. Right now I have a pair of ED 12o.14's running at 2 ohm (rating of the amp is 600w Rms at 2 ohm) With the ED's the subs seem to be a little over powering and I was wondering how they will do with the 300w for the pair. I know that most of you will say "try it and find out" but I want to know if anyone else has already tried it. Thanks all! David

Alright so my Recone kit for my BTL came from Fi Today, but its missing the most important thing, it has no alignment Jig, what do i do now? i have no way to align the coil in the gap properly, what do other people use for there recone

hi all. i will be buying some ssd's with copper coils as soon as my tax money hits my bank in a few days. i just want to know if this is a good time to order cause ive been reading that the guys are swamped. if i order just the regular woofer does that shave any off the build time? i live in NC so i figure with build time and ground shipping it should be about two-three weeks. is this a fair guess? just curious, wanna know about how long ill be waiting after dropping almost four hundred bones ya know? i hope this is in the right section, and someone can ease the anxiety as ive never ordered anything of this amount off the net before. thanks for anybody's help in advance.

Fi is shown in another featured vehicle in the latest issue of Car Audio and Electronics! This time in a SQ car. Yes its mine

I am currently running two Rockford T15's off a Rockford T20001at 4 ohms. I'm thinking about getting 2 15" Fi subs and run the amplifier at 2 ohms. What pair off 15" subs should I get, BL, Q's, or SSD's? Also what options should I get? Thanks

any suggestions on an amp that costs around 5 or $600 dollars to power 4 18"SSDs

:/

I got in touch with you guys about a Recone for my 15" Fully loaded BTL, I talked to scott and was told the price, i then proceeded to Paypal scott teh monies and that went through on January 11'th. On January 14'th I received a UPS Notification from FI saying that my orders Billing Information has been Received, and from the 14'th until today the 21'st it still only says that my orders Billing Information has been Received, it has not said any other tracking number details or that they have even received a package from FI in the first place so far. Just looking to get info on when my order is shipping out / when will it be here, paid on Jan 11'th and it was just a recon…

I wanting to run 2 12" Qs in a sealed box under the seat of my 07 crew cab sierra Theyll have about 1cu ft of air space each. Im wondering if the SSDs would be better for this type of enclosure or what? Ill be running a RF Power 800a2 for right now and upgrading later to probably a RF T15002

Hello, I'm in the military stationed in Germany. I'm ready to order but I have a question. Will you ship to APO, AE 09012 addresses? I know time is money and I thank you for your response. Respectfully, M-M P.S I normally use the USPS to ship items, can we work something out?

As it states, this is just something I am curious to see. All would be in the optimum enclosures and tuned appropriately. I am curious how many pick sealed vs ported, size of the subs, etc. Again, this is all subjective and I am doing this out of curiousity to find out what the majority of you audiophiles would really go with. Lets say 1k watts per sub. optimum enclosure. trunk install. I am tryin to get ideas of what a general Fi user loves before I even start thinkin of my next setup.

I posted here since I figured more than one person probably has a blown one so I may help answer for the next guy . anyway, my buddy blew his assasin 10" and I was wondering if we could get a recone kit instead of ship the sub in? don't think the sub is worth that much lol

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?

I am going to purchase a 15" Fi BL... mobileman is going to make me an enclosure roughly 3.8ft3 tuned at 30hz. i am going to power it with a cadence txa1000d which puts out 1000watts at 13.8 volts. what options should i get for this subwoofer? i want it to be as loud as possible with the tuning and amp i have. i honestly don't know what the options even mean.... P chmafer, cooling, flatwind, etc... etc... could someone explain the options to me? thanks.

im looking to purchase either 2 BL 18's or 2 MTX T9515-44 15's im not sure what amp to get, iwas thinkin on going with autotek but ive heard people say they aint very stable, if not one of those, what would be a good amp to run those subs?

i just want to let the people at FI and all you bass heads know that this forum is awesome. the people here are a lot nicer so far and i get quick and knowledgable answers to my questions( and there will be more) and most of all i havent seen any of the petty bickering and put downs that i see on another popular excursion forum. i am glad i found this place. see now ive gone and gotten all emo on ya.

8 Fi BTL 18's.......you know the deal this might give you a feel just by looking at them how loud it is zVobtkB3H7A i do believe those are the first real victims since they were sealed up inside with me

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?

I was wonderin if its possible to switch my 18" bl from dual 1 ohm to dual 2 ohm..if so how much you think scott will charge? thanks for all your help

It's been a few months since Scott posted about the 10" spiders. Are they here yet? I have a 12" Eclipse basket with a variation of the TC9 motor and a pair of 15" Lightning Audio/TC-3000 baskets with 3HP neo motors that need recone kits. Also, since these are not the standard baskets that Fi uses, will I have to send in the subs for the recones or can a kit be built? -Robert

im new to this site and reading posts fi can recone a majority of drivers. so my question is can fi recone a elevation audio x15 drivers. not their current execution woofers but the original ones with the aluminum cones. the motor uses a 3" vc and i want to reuse the execution motor with a fi basket and recone kit. i have 2 which are taking up space in my room 1 still plays but is on the way out and the other one is frozen. so get back asap thanks alot

ok i see all these people talkin about how they wire their stuff at .5 ohms. how does that work? i mean like on amps, the ohms are usually 4, 2, n 1. well im askin this because right now i got 1 dvc ssd 12" (bp n flatwound) with a hifonics amp powering 1200rms watts at 1ohm. i was thinking of getting another ssd, so that mean i would get an amp to power 2400rms watts. i looked at some of the wiring configurations on kicker n 12voltz website n it shows that i can only have them at 2 ohms or .5 ohms. at 2 ohms the amp i wanna get is kinda really outta the way money wise because at 1ohm it is a lot more than wat i need. so yea im just wondering how i could achieve the .5 ohm…

What other subs does the SSD compare too??? Just wondering what subs from other companies are comparable to the SSD. A friend of mine who i'm tring to get hooked on fi was asking me...any input would be appreciated.

Hey Scott and/or Nick. So far you guys have been great regarding communication, but I sent in a 15'' BL with a cracked magnet (First in Fi History!) and I was told I would have a new one shipped out shortly. I was just curious on the status of that new sub? Thanks for your time. Weston

sorry i dont know but what is the big 3?
