General Fi

right now

I have a 12'' fi q with the bp option in a downfiring box 2.5 cu ft tuned to 32 hz. I have a hifonics bxi 1208d powering it. I am worried that i am clipping the signal. I had the radio turned up to 25 ( goes up to 62) and everything sounded good and crisp but when i turn it up to 50, it seems like the bass isnt as loud and not as crisp. Idk if i have things set right. Here are the places i have things set two: Subsonic: Three o'clock LPF: 1 o'clock Gain: 12 o clock Bass Eq: 12 o clock I know hifonic amps are known for clipping and are pretty cheap. I just need some advice on what this is. I dont wanna fry my baby.

Is there a way to find out how much output I will lose if I go from 15" BLs to 12" BLs with the same variables on the same power?

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.

So i've more less disappeared from here due to not having any sort of internet access...our internet went out on Friday, and has been down ever since. Everybody that has emailed me that i have gotten i have replied to, i don't have a clue what is going on on the forum, so questions here will be answered as soon as i can get back to it and get everything under control here on the home front. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused any of you. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Nick Morgan Fi Car Audio

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?

Here you go....this was on 600 watts and with a speaker terminal broken(1 sub shorted out). Running only 3 FI BTL 12" subs.

i need some help. im using a sundown saz 2000 and i cant decide what subs to use. fi bl 15s or the nightshade 15s. im having a box made for which ever i decide and theyre goin in a focus hatchback....no wall tho i hear the bls are more musical . its my daily driver and ive never competed . just like loud music and people lookin at me like im nuts

Got my Q15D2 put in the truck yesterday..... heres the system: Pioneer Premeire P590IB Elevation Audio 6.5" coaxials in front doors (to be replaced tueday with Autotek MM6.5" components on Autotek MM75.4) Fi Q 15D2 Autotek MM1400.1 @ 1 ohm ~3.0cu ft tuned to something like 32-34Hz. pics later.. that sucker is loud.. sounds nice.. mmmmm how do i get a sticker? someone said it'd come with the sub but i didn't get one

I need help deciding on what voice coils to get on my fi bl 18" dual 1 or dual 2 ohm would like to run it in 1 ohm.

I just wanted to give some feedback on the new look. Great job! Keep up the good work.

I was wondering how a Fi Q12" sub would perform in a 4.2ft^3 enclosure tuned at 21hz? I would be giving 2 of them each in their own 4.2ft^3 enclosures 1000 watts each from a crown XLS2500 amplifier. Would this perform well or are their better sub options? They would have a subsonic filter at 21hz and then a LP at 80hz. My surround speakers can easily keep up with almost any sub combination out there considering I spent about $4,000 on DIY towers and DIY center channel alone... I hope this being a car audio forum it doesnt bother you guys me asking about home audio... I know a lot of guys using car subs for home theatre.

Well today I decided to finally pull the trigger on a 15" bl. Lately Ive hear that the SQ on this woofer has been better then people expected while still wangin I built a box last weekend and its been sitting in my car, and I just couldnt stand the though of an empty subwoofer box just sitting there. I will definately post a review + be on step closer to a free shirt woot! Thanks guys Im really looking forward to seeing what this baby can do

just kidding. but since your here... what are some good brands of speakers for my lade (escalade) (6 1/2 inch) also getting fi btl 18''

I think someone had a file with just the Fi logo on it to try and make some decals so can some one post the file or link

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.

yup it dont matter where i go or what i do, i can always stop and someone wants to get in......the end result is more vids for my site enjoy....the cleaner version will be up on my site a little later. Youtube will have to do till my admin gets home oh and the quad alts is the chit it is CRAZY loud now damn......subs arent getting hot at all.

Hey i have a bl 18 powered by a jl 1000/1. all electrical upgrades are done (upgrading soon) anyways the sub saw 750 watta at the most, it was not beat at all. The other day it cut off in the middle of a song. When i pulled it out i saw that one of the tinsel leads are broke. How would i go about fixing this? is it covered under warranty? would soldering work? Thanks for the help

This is my first post here. im building a sub box for a 15" Fi SSD. it hasnt got here yet and i need to know the cutout diameter for the hole that the SSD goes in. the box is 4 cu.ft. tuned to 38hz

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!

Need to place a order but I refuse to use paypal, please pm me a phone number so I can give you my order and credit card info.

my girlfriend recently*well like 2 months ago lol* scuffed her rim on a curb, now i don't see any bend in the rim or what not but there is visual marks on the rim for sure. Now for the past i'd say 2-3weeks she has been leaking air, the curb job wouldnt cause that would it? The rim would have to be bent for it to cause the tire to leak correcT?

the cap on my 18" btl has a dent on it and i need a new one who can sale me 1?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, i apologize if it gets moved. So my concern is if sub-zero temperatures have any effect on subwoofers or their electrical counterparts. I know it seems stupid but i want to make sure i don't harm anything. I'll be attending michigan technological university in the upper peninsula of michigan next year where its not un-common for temperatures to reach below zero in the winter. IS there anyway that prolonged exposure to those sort of temperatures could hurt my btl? or my sundown amp? thanks
