General Fi

Ok guys, I was browsing steve meades forum and came across someones system on the system of the month, february 2008. It has 2 18's in a blowthrough, but in order to fit the 2 18's they are slightly angled as well as the port (or at least the port looks like it), does this have any effect on the output or cause some other negative effect? Just curious, would be fun to use 18's instead of 15's. http://www.*****.com/board/ind...showtopic=19379

hey the other day my friend was moving his enclosure (with sub in it) and it slipped out of his hand and when it hit the floor the motor snapped rite off of the basket. so what im wondering is how much would a 18" basket and a recone kit be for his btl. the motor is daily, and universal... he would like it to be dual 1 ohm. it was fully loaded, 3rd magnet, ect. he wants it to be the same as it was. also he has a 18" 05 re xxx that is messing up and he is wondering about a recone kit for that too. tried sending you guys a pm but inbox is full. any help is vary much appreciated. Thank you. - Lance

Hello I sent in my 12" BTL to get re-coned, and I haven't received any word on when it will be returned. I sent a couple of E-mails over a week ago and haven't got a response from the re-cone department. My Order#I-15761/00. If a Mod. can get back to me as soon as possible that will be great. Thank you.

I ordered a 15 q dual 1 ohm with cooling on 2/13. I work at best buy and get a great deal on kicker amps. Today the kx1200 dropped in price and is now in my price range. Problem is it is 1 ohm stable and the amp i previously picked out was 2 ohm stable. So i ordered the dual 1 ohm. I need to change my order. I need a dual 2 ohm instead. Is this possible?

Can a BL 15 handle 1000 watts rms on music for 10 to 15 min at a time with just p chamfer, Daily?? I need to know asap so I can place my order. In a 3ft3 enclosure tuned to 48hz.

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…

i think im deciding between a rockford t3000 or a hifonics thor 3000 any other amps you think would hit harder for the same'ish price. thank you

Recently I purchased two 12 inch ssds from Fi car audio. I was looking for something loud yet retain good sound quality. I first built a box which is 4.5 cubes tuned to 33 hz. I have them hooked up at 1 ohm to a US amps Md2. At first i thought the low end was lacking so i contacted scott and told him and he told me about the copper coils vs the aluminum coils. Well the copper coils made that much of a differnce because i love these subs. They play the lows nicely and get loud. The sound quality could be better. But being that im a bass head it doesnt bother me at all. Compared to a sx which everyone wants to compare them to. I would say they are alike except more musical …

Hey guys a while back i asked you all for advice and i recently got this build finally finished with. Just wanted to say thanks and check out the pics. Any comments or feedback would be great. Its a daily groundpounder and ive had this build done for a couple months now and i finally took some pics. I have 2 18in btls fully loaded, 4 ks65.2 4 ks5.25 2 zx2500.1 1 kx650.4 225amp Excessive Amperage alt. 4 yellow top batteries couple runs of 0gauge and some other stuff Any feedbacks or comments would be great guys, thanks.

i need to change an order. is there a way?

Is there any way i can pay alittle extra for faster shipping? like Fedex 3 day select?? I have a comp on the 25th of oct and my check will clear thurs-friday for my bank account so thats the day i can order it..is there any way i can get it thay thrus-fri(23th-24th)?? I know FI is extremely busy but i would love to make it out to that comp FYI im ordering 2 fully loaded BTL 18's

the T/S of the Fi SSD 15 with bp power, dual 1's......anyone?

I rarely see anyone running sealed on this forum. Since the Q is the only sub to run sealed, anyone with some more insight? Currently, i have a 12" kicker CVX in a 2.3cf @29hz box and I find it tuned too low for most of the music I listen to. I found someone to buy my sub/box for $200 so I'm gonna pickup a 15" Q and run it sealed. Space is a concern to me as well. I'm planning on making a box around 2.5cf after displacement and running it off my viper 1200.1 .. so 1200w @ 1 ohm. How does the Q sound sealed? I'm hoping for a slight output bump up as well as a much flatter response curve. I'm excited to go back sealed!

Sorry for having to make a post, but Scott I've sent you several PM's over the last 2 weeks and e-mailed you a couple times and still have not gotten a reply... I don't know if you're just missing them or what, but I need some questions answered. Joseph.

Just picked up one my BTL motors, plan on getting another soon. And I am working on a new box as well. I will be giving a Sundown3000 to each BTL, my question is can I safely tune the box low? I wanted to tune around 29-30hz but I have been told tuning that low with that much power on them is not a good idea.

question in title. wondering if there is any way to VISUALLY tell if a BTL has the daily versus the spl option. got a sub im looking to buy...but the dude doesnt know if the sub is daily or spl (he bought it from a guy named "beau" who goes by the name "astrolade" on caraudio.com) and i have no way of getting in contact with him.

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 buying a bass maximizer from audiocontrol. I needed to know if I needed two sense I was getting two amps or would one be enough.

right now

Ordered a 12" Fi Q dual 2 tonight Will be purchasing a sundown sae-1000d later in september to go along with it

Title realy says it all

i have a motor off of a sub that i blew....well creased and cracked the cone....i was told it was a tc9...but i want to make sure before i try and get a recone...but here are pics any help would be appreciated

will i need an extra bat for a 12" FI Q, and the amp is dls a6 mono amp, about 1000 wats rms. my current bat is a bit small because my car is also small, lol. Thanks in advance!

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

Big Island guy, on O'ahu for school. Was looking at RE's SXs, but now I'm really leaning heavily toward Fi's BL 12" after reading online. 1. Can you quote me shipping cost (USPS if its cheapest without being super slow) to 96816 2. If this is non-competition, wanting a solid daily-driver that can handle my old Kicker 1200.1 which if any of the additonal options should I be looking at (i.e. cooling, flatwind, etc.) Thanks for any info, I've been building my own systems for about 8 years but haven't had the pleasure (or so I hear) of working with Fi products yet.
