General Fi

whats up guys, im new to this forum and kinda new to these subs, but i just ordered a 15 inch Q and i plan on putting it in a ported box, now my question is i have 2 options of amps.....which one would be better and have my sub sound to its full potential. thanks in advance. my first option http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12210_...+BXi+1208D.html and my second option http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12211_...+BXi+1608D.html

I just receieved 3 out of 4 of my BTL N2 15s. First, I'd like to say they're super sexy! (even if they do look small next to my BTL 18s lol) I'm just wondering if there is a delay or if I can get at ETA on my fourth sub?

this is for scott or any of the fi reps... heres what im wanting to do- im working on a show car, and im wanting to powdercoat my subs to match certian parts on the vehicle (baskets to match the exterior color, and top/bottom plate of the motor to match certian trim in the interior) after i order and pay would it be possible to send me those parts so i can get them powdercoated, then send them back for assembly? thanks! (btw- i was going to order 2 tc5200's and have this done, but they have the absolute worst customer service i have ever recieved, i.e.- they dont EVER respond to emails, or pm's on their own forum, and they are generally clueless) Scott has been more than …

When i place my order, since I live in an apartment building, I was wondering if you can require signature confirmation so whoever you guys ship through doesnt just leave the sub sitting around the mail room or outside? this way if I'm not home, I can go pick it up and sign for it. thanks

Looking to find out what kind of options i have, trying to find 4 RE SX motors and re cone them to 18's, looking to find out pricing and what recone options i have. herd that the MT flat wound coils is a good choice but no idea where to find any.

I know what the universal option is for but I was wondering does this make the sub weaker? I'm ordering two dual 1s and it says if you don't get the universal option then your sub will be optimized per the coil resistance. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone I have a quick question. How does it work with the RMS wattage and the impedance the speakers are wired to? Are they always the same RMS wattage at the different impedances you can have the speakers wired to?

I have a sae 1200 sundown amp, I need dual 2 for a 15 inch Q right? Also, Knu's 4 gauge is big enough, right?

hello i ordered a Q15 from you guys thursday of last week. just checkin on the status of the order. Invoice number: I-11441/00 Thanks!

Hey Scott, I need a question answered that just seems to never go away... I found this, its a quote from Dan Wiggins about power handling when running 1 coil on a DVC sub "Lastly, power handling isn't compromised by a factor of 2; it's usually decreased 10-25%. The reason is that rarely are you current-limited by the gauge of the wire, and voice coils are wound concentrically so you still have the entire thermal mass working for you. Just that now all the power is dissipated in a single voice coil (typically two of four layers) so you may end up with an inert, non-conducting thermal mass insulating one side of the voice coil. This does not halve power handling, b…

Hey Scott, Are the specs the same on my subwoofer, power handling wise? Is it still 1000 rms or is it more now? I'm trying to figure out the right voltage so I can set the gains on my amp with my DMM. Oh and the shirt is awesome, thanks alot for the shirt and the stickers.

First off Im gonna get either a BTL or Kicker, cant make up my mind. Either a Kicker SoloX 15(2) or Fi BTL 15(2), the kicker can handle 2500RMS @DVC 2 ohms and the BTL can handle 2000RMS @DVC 2 ohms.. So would the BTL 15 be able to handle 2500RMS or higher with the P Chamfer, Cooling, HiXmCoil, Daily, I Heat Ring, and not universal options? Also Im gonna try to put these in a lincoln LS, and I cant determine if I want BTL15s or BTL12s, which would you guys suggest? p.s. the amp I will probably be using is a SPL FX1-5500D with 2500RMS @ 2ohm, 3200RMS @ 1 ohm, is that a good idea or anyone got any other suggestions? Thanks a lot, an obvious newbie

About how much excursion does a fi ssd 10 have? Im thinking about getting 2 and really need to know so ill be sure if their going to hit the back of my seat or not. Thanks

Sorry for the trouble, I am just wondering how might I order from Fi Audio's site? Do I email them with my order or what? Appreciate the help. Thanks, Dover.

I was thinking about getting 2 BTLs(12s) but i would like to get some feedback on their quality and what is recommended to power them.

I havent been on this forum in months so I did a lil update I am currently running 2 btls on 2 audioque 2200's. The subs are D/2 fully loaded. I have a 220 iraggi alt. The big 3, 4 kinetik 2400 batts and 1 yellow top under the hood. Here is a couple pics of the equip stripped from the car getting ready to upgrade. Now the question I was going to run the subs just 1 sundown 3500 wired to .5 ohms (just til I get the money to buy a second amp).But I read in another thread that it is hard on the subs. I didnt know that i thought it was only hard on the amps if your electrical couldnt back it up.

how do you think a sundown 1500d would go with the fi q with the bp option? would it be too much or just right and what would i keep all my power knobs on

Well Tuesday I was very happy to order my first Fi, The btl 18 fully loaded daily. In paypal it say that the payment is still unclaimed. Im just wondering if this is a normal process and all. Date: Feb 2, 2010 Time: 22:33:29 PST Status: Unclaimed Unique Transaction ID #53U9449324220434Y and as a side note, im ordering the second one on friday

if I got a tracking number does that mean my woofer shipped out?

Hypothetically if I have a box that is 1 cuft tuned to 30 hz, for say an 10" type r or ID, will this box have a different tuning frequency for a different sub with different parameters, such as a 10" Fi Q? Box being the same and same port area.

When it says that all subwoofers are custom made in 3-7 days. Is that one subwoofer or is that the ones you order. Like if i ordered 2 12". and it took 3 days to make them. would that mean 3 days to make each sub. or 3 days b4 both were sent

I'm going to order a SSD10 and plan to load it in a sealed box w/ .63 airspace (after displacement) and power it w/ a Sundown SAE-1000D (are there other recommended amps for the SSD10?) Questions: 1. I'm guessing I should get the dual 1-ohm coils and wire them in series to get 2-ohms (600w) ... since dual 2-ohm coils wired in series would result in 4-ohms (only 300w) and dual 2-ohm coils wired in parallel would overpower the speaker (1-ohm, 1000w), correct?!? 2. Since this is going to be a daily driving setup and I'm more interested in SQ, should I consider any other options besides the copper coil upgrade? Mucho thanks for any help / insight.

Hey I'm new to this forum but I was considering getting Btl's as my next sub but I got a few questions. I already emailed nick but I thought there might be some members on here that would have enough experience with BTL's that they might be able to help me out. I want to get 2 12" Btl's and was wondering if they could handle 2500 to 3300 watts rms on a daily basis? Im going to have a Kicker 2500 at 1 ohm to each of them. I'm going to be competing with them every once in awhile to but I'll be listening to them on a daily basis more so that comes first. I thought about getting the inner heat sink option and the cooling package. Would this help them handle the extra power on…

Right now I have 2 15" Fully loaded Fi BTL's old triple stack magnets. One needs a recone. They are daily versions as well. How do I know if I need to get the flat wind coil or the xmax coil? Assuming I need to get the same as my other one I dont know what it is cause I got it used. Would fully loaded mean mine have the xmax coil? Thanks!

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!
