    So d2 with cooling and flatwind. Now I am in need of help, I have sent e-mails to FI and I am wondering if they could ship it as a gift so I could not be faced with border fees. Can they do this for me?

    I'm getting a 12" Fi BTL fully loaded dual 1 and I'm trying to find out if how i've wired my Q and BL in the past is right or not. I have a Clarion DPX11551 that's doing 1600 rms @ 2ohms. Before I wired the sub with the positive from the amp to one coil and then the negative from the amp to the other coil and then the negative from the other coil to the postive on the other coil. Is that how it should be wired to get a 2 ohm load? And is it possible to get a 1ohm load from a dual 1 sub?

    Got a customer that is considering going with either a q10 or ssd 10. Customer mainly listens to rock, metal and other types of music along those lines. If i stick with the 1.5 cu.ft. net spec and tune alittle higher around 35-37 hz, how will that sound. Also, customer requirements is the sub has to be dual 2 ohm 1000 watts continous per what he stated. The vehicle is a1998 single cab Dodge Truck and the enclosure is replacing the center console with the both the sub and port firing back at the cab rear wall. Space from baffle to cab rear wall 6-8 inches. Phil Woodlawn Cabinetry

    Ok, here's my question..FI is obviously amazing. I want one!!! I'm driving a 99 Malibu and I want to put a 15"Q in. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me to build an ABC box, a standard ported box, or possibly a CRX box. I want clean and loud...don't care about the complexity of an ABC as I find it fun. My only problem is that I deisng an ABC box at 3.5cu ft, 30 hz tune, with 50 sq in of port area. I'm not sure if taht's enough port area. I will be powering the sub with an MTX 6500d. Any help would be great!!!

  12. 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!

    I live in Iowa, i sent my 12" Q series in on Oct. 7th. I have sent 3 different emails to Fi and still have not heard a word back. The tracking number on the package i sent says it arrived on the 13th. I was just wondering if it was complete? All that it needed was a repaired Tinsel Lead from one of the positive terminals. I would really appreciate it if someone would contact me to let me know how things are going! Thanks

    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 …

    OK... given that this is our 4000th topic (after the crash of 2008...lol), I felt it would be a good time to introduce some of our new giveaways and contests. We will edit this post with our daily schedule for free promo items with orders (like T-Shirt Tuesdays... first dozen sub orders get free t-shirts...) We will also announce weekly contests for products as well. Adding the new apparel warehouse, we are greatly expanding POP items and our promo capabilities. And as usual... we would like to pass it along to our customers. Updates tomorrow... Thanks, Scott

    Pulled a 145.4dB at 47hz in the kick...Now too bad in my opinion considering the box is 8ft^3 net tuned to 33hz...The subs are getting about 800 watts each.. They definitely had a lot more low end than every other daily driving system that I heard at the comp.. Many people were interested in my subs, and I gave out Fi's website several times! Imagine I could get a 147 or so if I got another box that was more SPL oriented..That may be in my future plans.
