General Fi

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.

Thinking about (for budget reasons) trying to do the 149.9 class with 4 SSD 15's without a wall...just wondering if anyone thinks its possible....was thinking maybe a crx style box......vehicle is a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT....

just wondering if anyone is running a lot of power to their ssd's? and by a lot i mean 1000 watts or more......if so, how much power were/are you running to them and how do the subs take it? Just wondering cuz I've been having some financial issues and may not be able to do the monster system i planned to do this season.....I'd like to try and do the 149 class with 4 x 15in SSD's without a wall...

you can see the stereo gear in my sig. just thought to share some of my FG a pillar and door builds the doors - pix taken from driver headrest view. the box - the head unit - the SSA inspired "Ghetto terminal" - the videos - waiting for your comments 1 more vid to come. Fi + Sundown pwnage!

So my BTL broke its tinsel leads and put rips in the spider so im looking to get a 15" Fully Loaded BTL Recone, i emailed Fi about the recone over a week ago and still havent heard anything back, im looking to place the order for one ASAP and try and get it ASAP as i got a new install going on, also i need a link to a place where i can buy CA Glue and CA Glue Accelerator as Fi dosent supply it with the recone kits anymore, thank ya Also, check out the pics

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!

I plan on purchasing an Fi bl 15 and I am going to put about 1500 watts to it. What options do I need to purchase with this sub?

i have a fully loaded BTL 15" dual 1 ohm, i am looking for a good affordable amp with anything higher than [email protected]?? anyone have any ideas??? i had a american bass XD3000 but it wasnt enough and i think i blew it or sumthin, it was letting a very high pitch sound come out so i sold it cuz i didnt want to mess up my speaker, anyways i would like a VFL200.1 but i am open for any other ideas on a more money saving quality amp cuz im broke:) thanks yall

Just wanted to thank everyone that gave me different inputs on what I should buy, wouldn't have been able to do it by myself...that's for sure...haha....Also a special thanks to Nick. He helped me out so much via emails on what to buy, but I still bought the wrong sub. >.<....Contacted him and within the day he told me that he got the coils switched for me! Haven't got the sub yet, but I'll let everyone know how it goes! Thanks again, Ryan

I need help deciding which amp i should get... i used to run the soundstream xxx6500 (which ive been told only does about 2700 @ 12v and 1ohm) on my 2 15" BTLs (dual .7) but i broke my box.... so next week they are completely redoing it to make it much stronger. but since im redoing that, im going to just uppppp the power. the sounstream is sold.... now for my amp choices i can either get: (2) opti4000ds and run them at 2ohm....doing right about 3000rms per sub (which was my goal) i know this amp is JUST like the SS, but its regulated so it should do more power on 12v as opposed to the SS. or i can get (1) AB500.1 which will do about 4700rms and costs about $200 less. the…

ok... so i know everyone has already seen one before but everyone also knows when you get it in the mail all you want to do is show it off. incredibly sexy, dont hate. just love. 15" D1 BTL cooling, 3rd mag, hixm coil, daily. In 6.5 cube ported box with internal spine bracing. 5 cubes after sub, port, and bracing displacement tuned to 39hz. thanks to Josh Salrin at www.finecustomworks.com

j/w lol can't wait for my bl 18 and my bros bl 15 to get here happy holidays guys!

Just wanted to take a quick moment before we leave to do family things and say Happy Holidays from all of the staff here at Fi Car Audio! We hope to see all of you stick around for what is to be a very exciting 2008 year!

how do you all think a 18 BTL would sound in a 1992 lincoln town car??? i used to have 2 12" kicker l7's how would the BTL compare to those thankls

to the guys at Fi- if it makes any difference i will be using this 12 sealed off of a US Amps AX600DE and per Flakko will push 800-850 at 13.6v. just wanted to give you a heads up if it makes a difference in the build if you set them up any differently. zac lampson

got mt box cut out today !!! tomorrow start puttin it together.. glue, staples, screws, liquid nails..ect.... used ultralight mdf this time.. that chit is sooo light !!!! well ill try to post some pics.... oh yeah.. my build is gonna be 18-fi ssd 15's.....sealed clamshell

Does anybody have some pics of a btl or bl motor with the cooling and without it?? i have alway wondered what the difference is in the motor thanks.

How they compare head to head?

How much for you(Fi) to recone my blown 05 15" D2 XXX into an 18" D2 XXX? Also make it handle a bit more powa? Please include a shipping price back to 31093. Thanks. Edit.... first post and I've been a member since June. I'm such a newbie. Wewt.

i was wondering if a BL with pchamber (sp?) and SPL package will do nice daily (not daily 2k beating 4 hrs a day) maybe....20 mins of play time a day? this has probably been covered also but how much port area would you recomend im going to be going about 6.5-7 cubes tuned to?

i am gettin a 15" dual 2ohm Fi Q i want to know if it would sound better ported or sealed thanks

Im looking to get an Fi Q 15in at 2 ohm dual hooked up to a hifonics brutus 1200 watt i have a couple of questions... would it sound better ported or sealed. and does Bp power add more power?

wats a good amp to run, for two q12's without the bp power installed

hi can you give me a price qoute on recone and basket for 2 re mt dual 2s shipped to 38112

hello i have a quick question, ive seen the btl 15 has a xmax of 16 mm and the bl 15 is 21 mm so the bl shoud come out more than the btl how can the btl be louder then?? right now i have a bl15 fully loaded, whats the most power i can throw to it. i was thinking of a rockford fosgate t10001b is this a good amp or is there something close or same cheaper?
