General Fi

Well i got my first 18in btl and all i can say is wow. definitely impressed with this baby and cant wait to order the second. Ill try to get better pics up later but for now this is off my webcam. and my amps two audiopipe ap30001d's cea rated to do 3000rms at 2ohms. both came with a nice 200amp fuse block and im glad to see its not using a phone cord for the level controller lol also i dont have pics of em yet but i picked up 2 duralast deep cycle dual purpose marine batterys 1000 cranking amps, 115ah, 180 reserver capacity. and before i have people going off on me for not going kinetik or xs power or something like that. they will be well mounted and have…

The replacements:

What do you think? And my new Magnum Grill

Ill just speak for myself but I was thinking it would be cool to see the "behind the scenes" of Fi. Anyone else think it would be awesome?

So i went to pick up my sub today here it is

Anyone care to show off the new BTL? :]

i got 1 12" ssd in a ported box and I wanted to screw the amp onto the box, is that gonna cause any problems?

Hey Scott or Shawn, i am planning to place an order asap, i know what i want and have the funds ready and everything just wondering what i need to do to get you the money and place you the order. I'm Canadian so i do not think i can use the web site(doesnt have Canada shipping option). I sent you an email but was thinking this might be an easier way to contact you. Thanks alot! -James

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums here; first post. Let's see, I have a 1986 Camaro Iroc. I'm building a box to fit in the well of the hatch(if anyone is familiar with these cars). I do not think I have room for a ported box, the design for the box yields a little over two cubic feet. So basically I just need help on what subs to buy. I've heard, and it seems like, that Fi is a quality brand so I'm pretty sure I want to go with them. Anyway, I'm looking between two SSD12s or one Q15. I have had two DB Crossfire 10s before and one 15" solobaric Kicker L5 in my car before. When I bought this car I had to get rid of the Kicker in order to be able to store the t tops. The K…

I hate to start a post like this. I have already emailed you regarding my order. I ordered an fi btl 18in. and i got the dual2. I need it changed to the dual1 considering the amps i picked up only do full power a 2ohms. Once again sorry for the hassle, but i figured since it hasnt started being made it shouldnt be to big of a deal.

I RLLY neeed help i just hooked up my brutus to my fi ssd 18 and all its doing is go thud thud thud thud thud thud thud nonstop kinda quickly with no music bass coming from it idk wtf is wrong with it if i take the RCA out it stops please help.... i hooked it before and it worked fine but someoone broke into my car and ripped everything out but they caught them and i got it all back so idk just any suggestions

hi Guys, I havent posted here in a while, but i am in need of some guidance. I just ordered 3 hifonics BX1606d's or whatever the numbers are.... Now i have to order some subs, I can't decide between Q's and BL's. I have no idea what all the options are for on the bl's and if someone could explain all of them that would be awesome. I was planning on putting 1 of the hifonics on each, and i also need some advice on box size, tuning etc. SQ is not really a concern of mine, and i have made all the electrical upgrades to the car so everything will work with the power. The Truck is a 2001 GMC Sierra EXT cab, similar to the red one with the 4 15" SSD's in it. My other quest…

I've sent my sub in to get reconed over a month ago and on n the 2nd of this month I sent an email wondering the status on my sub and when it should be shipping. All I'm wanting is an update or status of my sub because I have not gotten any response since the 2nd and I have sent 2 more emails since then and still no reply. I've seen many other posts about how Fi is always busy and they'll respond, but I need a little more communication than this. Order number is #1259 Thanks.

I recently ordered a 1 ohm 12 Q and a Orion XTR PRO 1000. At 1 ohm the amp is supposed to give out 1000rms. How will i wire this sub to the amp, and will this sub run well with this amp as in pushing maximum power. Thank you. Im a noob lol soooo i prob sound super stupid. EDIT***GO TO THE BOTTOM POST.

hey guys so this will be my first box build. I have 18in fibl dual 1ohm with a jbl gto 1200.1 watts 1114 watts rms at 2ohm. my max demsions are 37L by 20W by 15 Depth. Im using Re enclourse calculater. But i want to know whats a good port area size and port width and any other factors that i should be looking for liiek what it should be tuned at. I want it to sound loud, hit lows, and have good air flow. If you guys could help id appreciate it

I'm kinda a noob when it comes to all the technical stuff about subwoofers, so I'm looking for some help. I have a 96 Lexus ES300 and I want to put in a 15" Fi BL. The trunk is huge, but I think one should be enough for me since I would just be using it for daily use. After looking around on these forums, I think I will try to get a Sundown SAE-1200D or a SAZ-1500D. Can someone please tell me exactly what else would be needed to run this setup?? (i.e. best enclosure, wiring??) - I listen to mainly rap as well as some rock. Thanks

I want a lot of SPL in my vehicle. Not to sure what I want to do here. Should I go with 2 15" BTL's or 4 15" BL's??? Why?? Please help me decide on this question, thanks very much in advance.

Hey so i recently ordered an Fi BL 18in dual 2ohm. And i made a huge mistake. I treid to contact Fi at [email protected] to see if theres anychance for them if they hadnt start building the subwoofer if they can change it from dual 2ohm to dual 1 ohm. if any of the Fi car audio workers see this plz help to see if i can get that changed

I have been competing in MECA for the last couple years, and due to the rule changes Im dropping out. So now Im headed back into a daily set up, no longer chasing numbers. I have both the ufo mag and n2 btl's and love both, I finally got a blazer and am looking for a just a monster daily system. Both my btl's are 12s, since I now have a blazer I will be looking at an 18. Question being....what would fit my bill better, going with a sp4 or just reconing one of my current btl's to an 18. Will be on a saz3500 with the proper electrical.

Okay well I broke my sub (Fi BTL 15) in for about a week so I turned my amp up (Power Acoustik BAMF 4000/1D). It claims 2200 rms. When I turn the bass up high enough the sub will start making popping noises, I'm pretty sure my amp isn't going to bottom out a BTL so I figure my amps just giving a clipped signal. I checked my wires going to the amp none of them seem to be pinched anywhere. I'm running 8 gauge that I had to cram into the terminals on the sub. Do you think that is where my problem is that maybe the speaker wire is falling out of the terminals or messed up? I would look but taking my box out is quite the pain I don't wanna do it if I don't have too. My only ot…

I have a new 15in Q that will be going into roughly 3.5cu after port and displacement. Would it be ok to use one 6in round port with flared ends? Looking for 28-29hz tuning. I can do 43.75sq in with a 3.5 x 12.5 slot port but the box will be much more difficult to build. Which would sound better? This will be a console style box, sub forward and port will fire into the side wall.

Hi I just got my 12" BL and I'm starting the box for it. The box will be about 2.6 ft^3 and tuned to 33Hz I was just wondering if a 3" port would work or if i should use a 4" port. I'd like to know if there is any difference in SQ or output with a different diameter port.

i have a 3 inch by 12 inch port that goes in 9 inches which means its tuned to 32 hz ... if i maybe woulda made it thinner and went back farther could it of been louder?

I have a ported box now but i thought for fun i would change the port length to get me a tuning of 28hz. Becuse of the lower tuning will that do anything to the efficenty of the design? Would be audibly different while playing? I thought it would drop lower when i put it in from the begining. thanks
