General Fi

So i bought the fi q fully loaded with cooling option and so it can handle an additional 500 wrms but my subwoofer is geting hot after runing it for 20 minutes. its dual 2 ohms voice coils and its wired to amp at 4 ohms my deck has out puts of 2.5 volts here is image of how my amp is set the volt input sensetiviy got moved by the bass.. its set to 1-2 volts. the subwoofer is on a 2.3cubic foot box.. what could be getting it hot?? i only use bass knob that came with it i dont even go pass mid bass knob and at the end of the ride the amp is a little warm but not as warm as the subwoofer.. im scared to burn it.. is my amp set right??

well last night i was going to work and i saw 1 blown infinity kappa perfect 12 so at first i walked by it....then an idea popped in my head hmm maybe i can send it to scott and if he's able 2....recone it.... so i picked it up and as im carrying it( it weighs no more than 20lbs) i start thinking some more....wat if i can get it reconed to an 18..if not i will settle for a 15inch recone so i start thinking of names like the fi perfect 18 or 15, or the fi kappa 18 or 15...so my question is can fi recone the kappa perfect 12? i really hope it can be done this is wat the kappas look like.. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259792 .this is not my thread i just…

Are these parameters taken on the subs when they are freshly new or taken when the suspension has loosened up? And I am referring to Fi subs.

I havent really seen anyone hook 3 subs up to one amp, is this possible without causing big impedence problems. If it is, what would be a good amp to run 3 1ohm subs, or should i get the 2 ohm version?

what amp would be better for a 12" Bl with the BP Power? US Amps MD 1D (underrated at 1200w @ 1ohm) or US Amps MD 2D (underrated at 1500w @ 1ohm)... Also would the flatwind coil be worth the extra $20? And also what would be a good box size? I know it recommends anywhere from 1.8-2.5... but what would be about perfect?

1. Ups is the only option it has for shipping, is it okay for me to send it to them through FedEx or is the shipping that is included in the checkout for incoming and return shipping? 2.What address do i send it too? 3. Expected time before it is shipped back? Anything else i should know? Thanks in advance can't wait to have my sub working again.

I was wanting to get a Q but then I looked at the new BL and it looked pretty much the same. But do they have the same SQ? I would put the options of cooling, flatwind, and universal.

hey everyone I am planning, on getting 2 12 inch fi btls n2s powered by two audio q 2200 amps. I am a begginer and was wondering if 180 amp alternator and 1 yellow top battery would be enough to power these two amps? Any help is highly appreciated

Money was sent last month, Apr. 11th. for a 12" BL with a few options. Order is to Canada, I tried e-mailing but no replies, and it's been two weeks since. I would like to know the status of my order, how can I do that properly?

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

Tprj5: my fi's NDMstang65: suck Tprj5: =(

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?

Im getting ready to order three fi ssd with bp option, but i want to make sure i get the right ones for my application. I will be running 3 of the 12 inch ssd's off of 2500 watts at 1 ohm. my question is, do i need dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm subs? What is the actual coil impedance? Are they dead on 1 or 2 ohm, or are the impedances actually lower or higher?? I want to do 3 dual 1's ran in series and then paralleled all together at .67 ohm, but if the actual driver impedance is lower than 1 ohm per coil, the total impedance may be a lot lower and i don't want to risk burning up my amp. Now, on the other hand, if i go with dual 2's and wire them in series then paralleled all …

What would you all recommend for my low pass filter setting for a 12" SSD w/ CC in a sealed 1.5 cubic box. Yes I know it's a big box but I usually prefer the sound of bigger sealed boxes. Also is there a method for checking that the crossover setting you see on an amp is the actual one that is being output by the amp? I thought using the DMM method and seeing the voltage would work but it didn't tell me anything. I played a 50hz tone and moved the LPF around and all my measurements did was the increase in voltage as I lowered the frequency and vice versa. I thought when I hit 50hz on the dial and below that it would flatline in voltage, but it kept increasing as I l…

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of some Fi Decals for my car? Just ordered my new 12 BTL and would like to rep my chit. I would like one for the rear windshield that says Fi AUDIO And two for my back two windows on my coupe that are just the Fi logo Or anyone who can make me one for some money? Thanks in advance!

For my sons 4 SSD 18's. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=21150

This might've been answered before, as most new topics in the forum usually have been, but I thought Fi didn't use to charge for shipping subs? Wasn't it included in the price of the sub before??

I had a pair of Q 12's sealed and wasnt a fan. Loved one ported but had trouble selling single. I got good deal on a BL 10. Whats optimum tune for daily. I read 32hz. If I tune it to 30 would it be noticeable difference.

lookin to pick up a q motor. how much would a recone be?

I wasn't quite sure where to post this so I will just do it here. I have been working on a huge research paper for school regarding some topics in math. I am sure some of you remember me asking questions earlier. At first I was going to leave everything silent, but have decided against that just in case several professors wonder what sub I used. So, would it be okay if I printed your companies name and the findings in my paper. All the paper covers is designing ported enclosures, how to design them, the math involved, etc. It goes into no detail at all about the actual build of your sub or any other technical issues. Thanks Mathman

Hey I was wondering what you guys could do with a DD9515d. Advantages? Price? Thanks

I am redoing my system so decided to try some new subs. Fi Car Audio SSD 12 - D2 x 4. The build quality on these drivers seem great. Suspension is stiff, loads stiffer than my current RE Audio SR's. I've got my own custom box design which is a bit secret at the moment, there will be more details about this later. This will be a streetpounder style system. I have ~3KW :-) There will be more pics as the build continues.

Thanks to Scott for building this for me. I was thinking about selling it to help pay for the ssx to get up and running, but after seeing it i really want to keep it lol. i migt just wait until this winter to get the ssx running.

Hey guys, I know you guys are super busy but I got a few ??'s for you. I'm going to be buying either a 15" or 18" BTL in the next 2-3 days, but I came across a used 18" BTL with a cracked basket. The part that is cracked is the part that the surround is glued to. They are very small. It was juts reconed and the tinsels arent even soldered on yet. My question is, if i were to replace the basket, would i have to cut the spider therefore needing another recone, or can I remove the cone without damage? If I cant do it with out damaging it, Can you tell me how much a new 18" basket and recone is? and also how much a 15" basket and recone would be? Thanks for your time and hel…

I still haven't received my subs!! A tracking email was sent to me on Monday, March 5th and the delivery date was supposed to be Friday, March 9th and it is now the 13th.. Anybody else have a similar problem?
