General Fi

My friend just picked up two of these beefy lookin subs and I am gettin ready to order my FI's. Where would these sit in the FI lineup. I was guessin between Q and SSD, not to sure though.

Wondering when you guys expect the BTL backorder to be filled and shipped? Maybe its already done I don't know ha just seeing what the overheads looking like. Thanks

If my friend were to get a SSD 12" or 15" which opitions should he get? And what would those opitions do for the sub? Oh yeah the amp that will used is a Rockford T5001bd(500x1 at 1ohm but WAY underated.

Right now i have my 18 bl in a ~6 ft^3 box (before port and sub disp.), tuned to 34 hz with a 3.75 x 20.5 in port (was supposed to be 4 inches, but i had a lil cutting error ). Anyways, i'd like to try a few different boxes, some higher, some lower, some smaller, some bigger. Fi has 30 hz as the lowest recomendation, and i'd like to see what the people who tuned to around this (or people who have heard a bl tuned to this) thought about it. They also have 37 hz as they're highest, so have any of you tuned to that, if so, how'd you like it? I realize a person who tunes to 30 hz is going a different path than someone tuning 37 hz, but i'd just like to see how each individu…

im looking to purchase either 2 BL 18's or 2 MTX T9515-44 15's im not sure what amp to get, iwas thinkin on going with autotek but ive heard people say they aint very stable, if not one of those, what would be a good amp to run those subs?

Just wanted to say thanks for taking my call the other night. I know you were at SBN. The 12" MT recone worked well and is taking a beating. Thanks again! Justin Tillery

Well, around december i received my 12" Fi Q from my uncle who knew me too well i guess. It was given as a gift. So im going to break down this topic into the reveiw first, then into my ?'s Packaging, First Impressions: Upon opening the box, the sub was wrapped well and contained in a nice packaged box. only one of the blue things were somewhat worn, so it was slopped down a little, but as i said it was a gift, and probably not handled the best. But still was in perfect shape When i opened the sub up to take it out and expect at the house, the first thing i noticed was how nice the magnet frame was painted. No scuffs. Later, after more inspection i noticed how stiff the s…

Description:I recently got a 15" SSD. So far it is great, and sounding better and better since the cone is starting to be able to flex more. I am very happy with the system. My girlfriend usually doesn't like bass, but says this one (system) sounds good, so props to the guys at Fi for making that possible! Here is a picture of my system as it sits in my car. Enclosure design: For my enclosure I built a box tuned to 33hz, and it came out to 3/5 cubes. It is 35x15.5x21. Here are the plans I used: http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...mp;Fs=&CE=0 And a diagram I followed: I always though black ports look much nicer with black subs, so decided to go that route. O…

hey i recently recieved my btl 15" and installed it in the box that i designed and built its a 4.4 cube slot port box tuned to 34hz and i have it on my 1500.1bd running about 1600 watts rms and i took a few videos earlier and when i was done i noticed that the cone was really hot on it....not so hot you couldnt keep your finger on it but it was pretty damn hot.....why is this i was planning on getting another 1500.1bd and strapping them......is the one 1500.1bd enough for it i thought these things were built for power

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

how do i order the recones the loaded btl's. i need 2 recones for 2 15inch fully loaded btl's. dual 1ohm. i emailed fi audio and no answer.

I know, I know there is no definite answer at all to this question. Again I know!!! LOLOL Currently running a 15" BL w/ a RF T10001BD amp. Ok loud not the greatest but the best I can do with my limited trunk space of a scion tc. I whined before here about loosing my trunk space currently! I am sitting here and out the corner of my eye sits a 12" RE SX sub that I just reconed with Fi parts. Originally with that RE SX sub it was in a 2.0cuft box tuned to 32hz and I hit 139db with a TL mic (amp running at 2ohm so roughly 900-1000watts). With my current box with that 15" it sits in a 3.5cuft box, and I don't have my spare tire anymore or any trunk space! With the 15" …

what should i do. i dont think i picked the right options, i think i picked extreme lead and after reading on here i doubt i need it...is there any way to change my order. it was ordered on the 8th and its the 12th now

Hi there guys, I was wondering if someone could help me out. I've placed my order a little over a week ago and Paypal is still processing my payment. I wanted to change my dustcap to the Brushed alluminum instead of the white. My order number is I-17454/00.

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…

Hey i have a Fi BL 15" and i was wondering for my amp kit do i need to upgrade it. i havent yet to install the sub yet cause im scared my 4guage rockford amp kit wont handle the sub and might jack it up..will it..or do i need a 1/0 amp kit?? will a 4guage work or should i rip out the 4 guage? and if i need a 1/0 can i keep the existing ground cable and remote wire or do i need to change those out to?? thanks..and sorry for so many questions!!! -Ryan

Hi! Someone knows where i can buy the fi woofers in germany?! I send some mails to fi caraudio but i get no answer :-(. Dear Amateur

Just got my Fi SSD 15" and built my box. The box is 4.3 cubic ft. tuned to 42hz. i know thats a little high but it sounds pretty good. What do you think? I'll be doing a blow-through in my 83 S-10 soon and this will go in it. Heres a video of the build. and heres some pictures

I have a 99 navigator that I just got and am getting ready to put a system in. I am strongly considering the FI BTL 18" sub and would like to get a fosgate t40001bd amp. However, the price increased from last time i looked so the t20001bd is probably in my price range moreso then the t40001bd. I will be getting the sub fully loaded and am fairly unexperienced with high quality subs and amps. My first question is how does a single 18 sound and should I go with dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm coils. Will the t20001bd (2000 watts rms @ 1 ohm) be enough to power this sub and make it hit the way it should, or should i go with a different brand of amp ($700 budget)? Finally, would I n…

hi Scott, I need to know if you are now shipping BTLs with new tinsel. I sent an e-mail to Fi but haven't got any reply yet. i don't want the old one cuz i've read that it produces tinsel slaps. please, I need to know this asap so I can place my order now. pic of the new tinsel: (BTL Recone) thanks, rheiner

I need a recone and basket for a AudioQue SD2.5 Can Fi do this? Thanks

when i go to the FI site, goto speakers, click the BL series, nothing shows up. The rest work, just the BL. I want to order my new subs but...

Do you ship to Bulgaria ????

Hello, I'm in the military stationed in Germany. I'm ready to order but I have a question. Will you ship to APO, AE 09012 addresses? I know time is money and I thank you for your response. Respectfully, M-M P.S I normally use the USPS to ship items, can we work something out?

I've been waiting for almost TWO weeks to see the BTL Recones back up on the site. What is going on here?? I have several competitions that is just going to go past me and nothing is happening with the BTL service. I mean I really like the subs but the service for BTL that i've been receiving is very horrible. Im on the verge on switching over to RE and purchase the XXX's. Can someone please give me a answer on these Recones for the BTL's??
