General Fi

yeah. well I'm having a hard time getting the proper size enclosure setup for what i want to install in the future. so being that i have about 3k in power for my subs i was considering on taking up a BTL 15" now, i truly love my XXX and i love the low end of them but my downfall on them is the lack of upper frequencies. now my only other options that are in mind with my 2 XXX's is running them sealed. they will be 15's. (lol i can't use 12's.) well. i also feel that it's time to try something new. seeing all the good things that Fi has to offer and with the BTL i was taking this into consideration. with tuning up in 33-35hz i would assume it would hit some of the upper fr…

I understand there is a backlog of BTL orders. What timeframe am I looking at to see my sub so I can have the rest of the system ready for it? Can't wait to be up and running again, excitement building...

In about a month it's going to be time to purchase and I'm stuck on this last aspect of the system. The sub. Will the FiQ work well with electronic music(breakbeats,trance, drum and bass) and rock music? What size sealed enclosure for primo SQ(tight clean bass NOT boomy? Will be powered by a 1000watt rms Sundown amp. Sub will be in the trunk of a small 4 dr. sedan. Front stage and Deck Alpine CDA9887 Mids and Tweets- Hertz HSK 165 Front Stage Amp- Sundown 2 Channel

Which would be louder in a 5.5 cu ported box running on around 3k watts?

I purchased a 15" Q back in 2009 and the cooling portion "blew" out of the sub, cracking/destroying the dustcap in the process. I have repaired the sub but still need a dustcap! Any help? I have tried to order one on the website but cannot find an option to do so... thanks for any help guys.

I am pretty sure I will be running 4 Q's in my new setup. My big question....what are some good amps to match them up to. I was thinking about 2 amps allowing for 2 subs on one amp so if one amp died on me it would be cheaper to get a new amp. Here is what I was thinking so far: Kicker 2500's>>>allow about 1250 watts per Q (not sure how Kicker amps are, good price though ) RF 2000's>>>>>Love the look of these amps, but they are a little more costly. Sundown 3000>>>Afraid 1500 watts will be to much for a Q. Sexy amp though MTX Thunder Elite 4000>>>No clue at all about MTX, nice lookin amp, would have to run a 2 Ohm load. Any…

I ordered a 10" BL this Saturday, but realized after reading some forums that I didn't need the extreme lead option.. I e-mailed the orders department like 20 min. after i placed the order, but have yet to get any response. That being said, I have already received tracking confirmation and they stated that the sub would be delivered this Friday..what can I do besides ordering another new sub? I will be using the sub daily, and dont want the tinsel slap or worn out spiders that this option is known for..anyone with some advice?

im lookin into buyin an fi bl, and i have an RF T10001bd amp rated at 1486 watts at 1 ohm, would this be enough power for a daily BL if it is wat options should i consider?? i was thinkin get just the cooling (i also got a kicker zx1500.1 rated at 1706 watts at 2 ohms, and i would get the sub loaded w/out extreme leads) thanks

hey i currently have a single 10" ssd stock options running off a alpine pdx-1000. what would the difference be between this ssd and a bl off 1k. i like my ssd but was curious about swapping for a bl. i listen to rap/hip hop

So i have had my btl for a while now and am very pleazed with it. I had a few questions though. 1) i currently have a saz 1500 d sundown to it and was wondering if i got a bigger amp (of course another sundown) if it would really be any difference. 2)what is the best way to tell the subsonic filter is set at because i think its around 34 hertz but i am conserned because of what i read about poorly set sub filters. thanks for the help

I know SQ is rather subjective, but what are some opinions of BL compared to the Q. Maybe the easier way to do it would be rating each on a 1-10 scale, not sure. Either way, I would just like to know any and all opinions about the BL sound quality. Feel free to compare, rate, whatever. Thanks!

ok, i got my two 18" BLs in a box i built, designed by TTB. this box is like 10cf gross. it is small. i am sorta dissapointed. need a bigger box. i would like subs up and port back tuned to 32-34hz. my desired outside deminsions are 42.5 wide x 24 tall x 28 deep. i will add the top double baffle making it just under 25" tall. can anyone help with this? email - [email protected]

Power : Sundown SAZ-3000D @ 1ohm Enclosure : 7.5-8cuft after displacement tuned low {28-32Hz} , CRX style enclosure

I'm trying to figure which I would be better off doing a 15" N2 in 5 cuft box after port displacement or a 18" N2 in the same size box and same power tuned to 32 hz. What are some of the opinions of what I would lose/gain over going with the 18 as opposed to the 15 other than more cone area? I was thinking I might lose a little low end and get higher box rise on the 18" but then again I'm not 100% sure. I'm doing a build on my friends car while he's away. the car is a 04 sebring convertible. As far as power goes it'll be 1.5-2.5k. Not sure what I want to go with yet as he is not a very responsible listener and I'm probably going to have to glue the gain down to keep hi…

hey, i was looking through brands of speakers on the web and came across this "Fi" brand that I've never heard of and want to know more about. What makes this type of speaker so special and if it really is so amazing, why is the price so low? I'm interested in building a new system with 2 18's and can go in my daily driver and want to get the most bang for my buck, literally. If anyone has any insight, please let me know.

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…

i was reading and trying to understand the options on the btl and came across this Re: 0.7 Ohms/coil | 1.4 Ohms/coil does anyone know what this means???? thanks

I am having a problem fitting my 15" Q in my trunk, I have built a box and there is just no way to make it happen...is there any chance I can switch and get the 12" Q? I know its a lot to ask, but I have the 15" Q, its never been run, and I still have the packaging so I can ship it back to you. Let me know what you can do.

Could you guys @ Fi recone a Poweramper XP2 18" if your not familiar with that it's identical in everyway to a old school Juggernaut. Please any help would be greatly appericated. It has a 3" VC but I'm not sure about the diameter of the spiders.

So me and my buddies decided to see which car was louder. I had a 15" SSD and he had 2 type r 12" subs. I for sure thought he would be louder barley but he wasnt. I was suprised !

hey guys i have a ava motor that the top plate has came loose. i was wondering how much it is to repair this and how much would a 15in recone run? but with maybe a stiffer spider and 4layer flatwound coils cost?

Tomorrow im going to pick up my FI BL 15 from the post office im so excited

OK so the other day I was showing off my BTL to some friends. Gain is set correctly with dmm, and about 10 seconds in to a song the sub makes a weird noise and then freezes. Well I am thinking I fried the sub and Ill need a recone kit, which made me upset to start with because I only gave it like 2400wrms. Well I take the sub out of the box and what do i find? Not a burnt coil. But a broken magnet on the motor. The magnet is litterally cracked and pushed in and caused the coil to scratch and get stuck. What would cause this? And how can I get it fixed. This sub was never abused.

Okay I just recieved my two 12" SSD with copper coils about a week ago. I purchased a very large sheet of mdf yestarday so I'm set with wood. I also just purchased a US AMPs XT4000D so I am also set on power. This is my first time building a box. I am going to be putting the box in the bed of my avalanche so I have a boat load of room. I was going to tune to about 32 or 33 Hz and do 2.5 cubes per sub. This box will be ported. If someone could provide me with diminsions that would be awesome!!! or even a plans. My friend who is going to be helping me build the box (he has experience building boxs) said he will help me. Thanks a lot if any of yall could help me!!!!!

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. Been out of the car audio scene for quite awhile (i don't know what happened to elitecaraudio.com????). Anyway! My bro is looking around spending 180-220 per 15 (total of 2) and a decent amp (oh 200-300 maybe) I suggested the RE SE's or the FI SSD's and possibly a Soundstream or Orion amp? I am a fan of RE and if my memory serves me - Fi was started by a former worker of RE (steve?) Well thanks for your time and help!
