Hi! I sent you an email a couple of months ago, asking if you accept international credit cards and you answered that you do accept international credit card payments (via your website). The thing is when I checkout my order, the only country option in the invoice or billing address is "United States". How can I pay with my Visa? I'm from Venezuela but the package would be shipped to a warehouse in Miami, Florida (shipping or delivery address) and later they would send it to me (Venezuela). Thanks!!!!

Just some piccy's of my box build. 1.2 cubes ported at 35 hz. Haven't figured out if I'm going to do a slot or a round port. I've done the calcs for both in winISD and I'm ready to do whichever one is easier. Trusty table saw! And a piece of wood. Stack of wood and toolboxes... My blue prints. I am a engineer, after all! This is where its at right now. I'm thinking about the port and whatnot. The top will be skinned with a 1/8th wood, I forget what it's called at the moment, it's in some of the pictures. It'll have foam on top and covered with black vinyl, it's the new center console in my pickup. Sub placement will be a little different, but when I get to that…

My system is going to be for daily driving , I have both my amps, both my subs, and my box is on the way. Ive heard alot of conflicting replies though about the amount of power im throwing to the BL's. They are RF1500's but the birth sheet rates them at about 1700, so pretty much each sub will get around that much if my electrical is good enough. My question is, will the loaded BL's be able to take this daily?

I am ordering 2 q's soon and need to wire it to a 2 ohm load so i would want the dual 1's or dual 2's?

im wanting to get a 15'' BTL and i been researching them and i have seen a lot of comments on how the tinsel leads fry.. why do they do this?? will i be ok with 3,000 watts to my sub or will it eventually fry?

I am thinking of buying a 95-01 4 DR Blazer or 95-01 Explorer 4 dr and I want to start off with two 15" BL's (dual 1 ohm) ported and for the amp either a Sundown SAZ-3000D or a Hifonics Colossus. I was reading and the BL's seem to be what I want...The Q's are the Sound Quality woofer and The BTL is the all out SPL BASS MONSTER,and the SSD being the entry level woofer the BL' claims to fill the gap between the Q and the BTL. What ratio of SPL/SQ would you say the 15" BL's fit.Right now I have two 12" Type R's and they sound alright to me and get loud but I want more bass and better.I want those head craking hits and those low nut jumping shakes.I listen to lots of Metal …

Hopefully you guys can put a tracers/tracker or whatever on it....This is BS! I cant believe this. I shipped it to my work address since there's usually someone there all the time. My home....hardly anyone is around. I can't belive this. Scott, or whoever if you can verify SIGNATURES...I'd be glad to do a sig test. or whatever, but I didn't sign for that. I have called the store next door to me...Stuff (pawn shop) they dont have it....the other store next door to me is 7-11, and I have good relationships with both stores...So I have no fear of foul play yet. But this is aggravating....was hoping to have it this week...and I've been trying to get an answer from so…

Greetings all, I'm in need of a single new 12" sub for use with my current amplifier and sealed box (daily driver), and was wondering if any of the Fi products would work nicely. Amp: Phoenix Gold ZX500 (rated at 600RMS bridged, 4-ohm load) PG websites states the amp may be underrated by 5 to 15% - so maybe closer to 700RMS? Box: Audioformz monoGlass12 sealed fiberglass at .95 ft^3 Other: Factory electrical system, with the addition of a useless 1-farad stiffening cap. Enclosure located in trunk of a small sedan, facing rear corner. Partially open rear deck. Interested in either the Fi Q or Fi SSD 12" in dual 2-ohm configuration, but not really sure if any of the option…

In the near future I am going to get 2 12" SSDs with copper coil option and a sundown SAZ1500D. For the box I was planning on having the subs hit up and the port back but I'm also taking any opinions on that. Also I might make a sealed box as well for these. I'm going for overall sound quality and just wanted to know what you guys think about the whole thing. Thanks.

ok guys i really some opinions on this, im tryna decide if i will run 4 15s or 4 18s for my next install. if im goin to wall or no wall. i use to think wall were for wussies lol, but boy have i seen the light lol. this will be a non spl setup. bassrace/music setup. which would be a better fit in a blazer. the 18s or the 15s? subs will be BTLs, thanx

Would i need to get the dual 1's or dual 2's to get a 1ohm load out of the amp and also how would i wire them to get the 1 ohm load http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_c...sp?Q=2&I=42 is that the right wiring even though it says its for 4 ohms? EDIT: if i were to get TWO of them

here's my setup. ive been procrastinating for a while on putting them on here so here you go~! heres box with none other than the btl 18's of course if you look closely you can see the 5/8" all-thread bracing through the top all the way through the port and through the box to the FRAME! just in case i get in a wreck http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/d...es07/system.jpg heres the amp that is for sale. check the for sale forum and pick it up! Rockford T20001bd 1 ohm stable and way underated on power. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/d...07/100_0779.jpg heres the mercury mountaineer they are sitting in. it is also for sale! http://i221.photobucket.com/albums…

i know there are some busy times over there. just wondering when will Scott be available for answering emails. i wish to make some international orders to Israel. thanks

First off, hello, been lurking for awhile finally decided to post. I need some help. I want to add some subwoofers to my car. I am going to start with 1 sub, would like a 15, but possibly a 12. I have searched high and low to find something I truly like. First problem is, I have only heard 13w7's in the same car I have. I don't want to drop that much per speaker and I don't want something everyone else has. I have been leaning towards the 15"BL. Amps, I have access to kenwood KAC-9103D for cheap, but no sure I want that either, because I think I would have to have 2 to push the BL. I seriously doubt they come close to the 1800 watts they claim. No one around her…

Yea i got home last night and opened my newpresent from ups

I just bought a brand new Konaki 12", I plan to recone it down to a 10" and run a pair daily off my kx2500.1, I would like to get a shipped quote to 26851 for a 10" DVC 2 ohm kit, I would also need a 10" basket and rubber gasket and FI dust cap, I know they are included but I would like to get one with the FI logo on it. I plan to run 1200 watts to each Konaki 10" once I get them reconed, I dont know what coils or kit Scott or FI would use but I need/want something that will take 1200 watts rms, and be good for a daily type install. I tried pm'ing Scott but his box is full, pm sent to NDmustang

i emailed you guys cause on 1 of my 18 btls the Terminal or Binding posts broke on 1 side and i needed a new one i also sent an email to sales@ficaraudio and got no reply i just need 1 of them can you give me a price

Hey guys, been awhile since I have been on here to pick your brains. I had my Charger SRT, got it set up nicely, and realized I really dislike cars so I sold it and got a F150, 4 door. Every truck I have had I put a fiberglass lid on the back and did a blowthrough going into the cab. I have always been happy with that, but could never haul anything. In keeping with a truck theme, I am planning on keeping the back open this time. To get a decent amount of bass I would like to rip out the back seat and put two individual seat in there and build a custom fiberglass console running up to the front seat, maybe a little further. So, have any of you tried this or heard a s…

This is a new project going in my friends Charger R/T. He wants to slowly setup a nice SQ setup. We will more than likely use the Q's. If doing an IB, the rear deck will be completly blocked off and sealed up. Any suggestions or ideas would be great....thanks.

Hey guys, I had sent an email awhile back concerning a recone kit for a 12" RE SX (D2) - I'd seen that you had been able to send kits out earlier, and was wondering if you can still do it (and if so, at what price?)... Preferably with that sexy new dustcap I saw while browsing the forum (the one that looks like the original SX cap, but with a Fi logo!). I live up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Thanks, Ryan

this guy offered to build me a box on another forum here are the specs 17"H x 42"W x 24"D, 8.174^3ft gross vol. Slot port, 15.5" x 5" x 15.92"Long@37Hz. After all displacement, 7.048^3ft net box vol. Built from 3/4"UL-MDF. Seams matched and double sealed. Reinforced baffle board. Dado cut end caps. Seams fastened with Tite Bond glue and 1-5/8" counter sunk drywall screws. Walls fully braced and tied in with Hardwood bracing for Zero wall flex. 45 degree boards in the corners to kill standing sound waves. Gold spring loaded binding post. Ports painted black. Gray Ozite carpet. it is going in a 04 ford explorer and my goal is SPL just wondering if this would work good…

hey was wondering.. i have a btl coming to me in a trade with a fresh recone, but there is no basket.. can i purchase one through you guys? (18" 12 spoke, and a rubber gasket, and terminals) thanks!

I ordered a BL on the weekend, and got an answer on Sunday. I live in Canada so I can't order off the website. I ordered my sub(10" BL) and forgot to state the impedance. So in the email back he tells me what it'll cost, and asks me what impedance I want. This is Scott BTW. I tell him D1, because I was in a rush and completely blanked. Ever done that? I'm at work thinking "you cant wire d1 to 1 ohm..." kind of freaking out. I get home, email Scott, get an answer that says "we already started, but we'll just put the motor away for the next order. no problem." How SICK is that? C/S at it's pinnacle right there! The build will probably start next week while I'm of…

Alright guys I'm new to SSA and Fi. I'm Ramin, i live in Cali. I'm paying my friend about 100 a week for a Bl 12" w/ cooling, a Nine.1 Amp, and a custom 2.4cuft box tuned to 32hz. (i'm paying 640 altogether) He had the setup for about 2 weeks, and now decided he's gonna get the bl 18. So he's selling me his new setup. Well firstly, is there anything i should change about that setup. I could for example sell that amp and get a new one. Secondly, i'm not the best with car audio. My friends help me with most of the installation etc. I know a decent amount though. The setup will be going in a 07 Audi A4, and a couple friends have been telling me that i'd need a new head unit …

Just givin some scores at the local competition the USACI put on at the NOPI Import Faceoff in Montgomery, Alabama yesterday. I took 1st in 1001-2000 modified with a 147.2. Metered in passenger kick panel sealed up. I did not like the placement of the mic due to the fact my system is geared towards the windshield!!!! I also took 1st in super port wars with a 162.8. Not bad scores with dead cells in my battery under hood. metering 11.5 volts in the back at 2200 rpm. Replacing battery tomorrow. I put my back yellowtop under hood today and metering 15.8v in the back. I'm running 2 18" btl's with 1 rockford t20001bd. I was placed in modified because my box was 2" above windo…
