General Fi

I know SQ is rather subjective, but what are some opinions of BL compared to the Q. Maybe the easier way to do it would be rating each on a 1-10 scale, not sure. Either way, I would just like to know any and all opinions about the BL sound quality. Feel free to compare, rate, whatever. Thanks!

ok i have two 1000 watt rms ams and not lookin to buy new ones just got these and i need two 12s and id like for them to get lower and louder the a w7 12 and yes the box will be disigned well but im need to know from the FI guys what would be the best sub for daily use to handle 1000rms and beat a w7 thanks i was lookin at the FI Q and BL ones but someone let me know and i want to power them right not under power them

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

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!

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

Hey guys Ive heard nothing regarding my order...and no response to my emails...please advise Transaction ID: 8VH38510PA667003Y Thanks

ok so i made up this box from a website.. for those who know what they are doing can you let me know if these specs are accurate and if this will work well for the Q i went for 4 cu ft and 30hz port

Just ordered my SSD 18 today. Waiting for my tracking number to come once its built, and then the countdown until it arrives. The sub will be going in my room, and I am trying to build up a good ported box plan now. Does anyone here have a Fi sub in their room ? I'm curious. Right now I have 2 10" Rockford Fosgate Punches from the 90s in a ported box. They are in the corner of my room, and can be heard from anywhere in the house. They aren't that loud though, being so old. But they do pretty good. They shake the siding of my house pretty good. How much louder do you think the SSD will be (assuming its in a well built box @33hz) ?

Anyone mind showing me what one would look like?

Ok guys new to the forums i'm looking for some advice on my upcoming electrical situation. I'm going to be ordering the new FI Q 18" with the cooling or bp option when it comes out. I have decided to go with the Sundown Sae-1200d also. The q will be in a 6-10 cf ported box. The car I'm putting the system into is a 2009 Ford Escape. So far everything in the car is stock electrical wise. I have ordered a knukonceptz 1/0 gauge amp kit and around 20 feet more of 1/0 gauge to do the big three. So after the big three and 1/0 gauge wiring i'm curious as to what you guys think i should do electrically with 1200 watts of power, to get the best out of my system. My budget is only a…

Well, so i was ready to order my BTL last week, but scott was out of town... so i waited a week untill monday(today) talked to scott, but they wont get any BTL motors till Next Monday!!!!!! ahhhhhhh so im sad, it keeps getting pushed back, life is tough without mah BASS!!!! haha so with all of those options what potential power could i run it at?

there is someone selling a btl on ebay right now. how do you know what sub you are in fact getting options etc? does the sub have it name indicated anywhere on the sub? and now that i think about it he is on the forum. wonder why he isnt selling it here

hey why cant i get a Fi sub shipped up here in alaska??? i was about to purchase a 12" SSD and i cant put Alaska as my state...i NEED my FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH how do i get one??? please help lol

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.

Hey! What's the shipping weight for a Q 15"? Thanks

My amp has a signal voltage adjustment range of 150mV - 5V (RCA Input). And my question is do I set the sub. output level from the MX-3 Bass controller to 5V? If it helps I have a RF T2500-1bd amp. Thanks for any response.

Wow. that describes it. Last night I heard a 15" btl ran off of 1500 watts and it was so loud. I just ordered a 15" bl on thursday and if my sub gets any where near as loud as that one im gonna be pretty happy. After getting that little taste of fi im impressed.

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

OK so i have a few questions.... in my girls car i have a fosgate T1500-1Bd 1500 rms or so at 1ohm, so what sub should u get the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm? and how would it be wired? second setup is my car, i have a fosgate T2500-1bd and was wondering if i should get 2 subs rated at dual 2ohm or 2 subs at dual 1 ohm? thank you guys

I'm pretty new to ficaraudio.com but wondered if I needed an extra battery for an amp with 2000 real watts I'm planning on buying a Fi bl 15'

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?

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.

So today I just receivied my first 18!!!!! An 18 fi q!!!! When I saw the size of my box I just gaped At it. It was just huge! The size of the sub is even crazyer. The thing is enormous! I was realy not expecting thing to be so heavy. So far the first impressions have been great so I caint wait to build a box for it. Fi is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that because of the weight of the bl15 i need a double baffle box. But what if any is the best way to secure it to the box? (via regular screws bolted in etc)?

What would be the best amps for 4 BTL 15"s
