General Fi

I ordered a recone and found that i didnt have the money for shipping to the facility, I need to cancel my order for my recone kit and get a refund. I have full intentions to recone the subwoofer, just not right now.

To nick or anyone else with the fi team. my invoice number is Invoice number: I-16248/00 I have been trying the last few days to change my order from a 18" bl to a 18" btl. Someone said they were gonna call me monday to help and they never did. Now today i got a ups shipping notice for the bl. i cant get anyone to respond to any of the emails ive been sending as of late. All i need is someone to help me change this or give me a refund. Please

Hello. I was looking for a 12" sub that has good SQ, and quite a bit SPL. It will be going in a regular cab truck, with a box that will have between 1.1 and 1.6 cubes. The amp (still unsure) will probably put out 1000 rms, or more. I was not planning on doing any kind of electrical mod (extra battery, etc...)( maybe the Big 3?). I was thinking either the Q or the BL. Could someone tell me there opinion on wut they think would be good for me?

they have told me that it will be available on march 1st, but it is almost the 3rd and still no signs of it coming, when will it be ready, i already want a pair

If I'm not getting enough (12v) through my remote wire, how do I fix it? HU ground? I'm only getting 11.8-11.9

should i remove the sticker from the bottom of the sub magnet?. for better cooling, or just leave it there fi 18" btl thanks

i was just wondering if i could get some sort of update on the repair status of my q....it was recieved on the 21st and i havent gotten a call or email about a price or time frame...thanks eric rausch

currently i have three q12's sealed in a mazda 3 sedan firing through the rear seat opening i have a 1000 watt amp on each. some of the choices that i have are.... 1.) get 2 q15 and run them sealed firing into cab via rear seat opening 1000 on each (less weight than i have now and less current draw and should be louder) aprox 530.00 A. if i get these and i have an itch to eliminate trunk space i can go ported but i dont think i will have room for 2-15's ported due to lack of area in rear seat opening for 2 15's and a port so this not likely 2.) get 1 btl and ported obviously with 1000 on each coil. through the rear seat opening. A. how much does it weigh i don…

Well, my brother purchased a kicker L7 12 about a year ago, and was powering it with a 1kw kenwood amp that really put out more like 3-400, and after selling him my bxi2006d he noticed that he kept hearing a slapping type sound. He pulled it out of the box and you could just smell the coil, and the sub was very hot to the touch. It wasn't the tinsels slapping or anything, it was something inside. He probably messed it up with that crappy old amp, so now he wants a new sub. With the hifonics amp I suggested a dual 2ohm BL with cooling, flatwind, and p chamfer options. This is going in the center console of his chevy 2500, which we'd really be making the box into a center c…

I figured I would post up a few vids a friend of mine took of me beating the crap out of my truck this weekend at Spring Fling...Enjoy Scott,Nick and Shawn....If you guys have a tent at SBN this year I would love to stop on by and give a few demos.. ..if thats ok

Just givin some scores at the local competition the USACI put on at the NOPI Import Faceoff in Montgomery, Alabama yesterday. I took 1st in 1001-2000 modified with a 147.2. Metered in passenger kick panel sealed up. I did not like the placement of the mic due to the fact my system is geared towards the windshield!!!! I also took 1st in super port wars with a 162.8. Not bad scores with dead cells in my battery under hood. metering 11.5 volts in the back at 2200 rpm. Replacing battery tomorrow. I put my back yellowtop under hood today and metering 15.8v in the back. I'm running 2 18" btl's with 1 rockford t20001bd. I was placed in modified because my box was 2" above windo…

Myself and Troy (tejcurrent) attended a local competition today and I believe we respresented Fi nicely. I took 1st in the Truck/Suv 501-1500 class w/ a 146.5 @ 41hz, second in the StreetBass Unlimited class w/ a 142 something playing Gorilla Zoe - Do It, and was runner up in 139.9 BassRace. StreetBass is similiar to BassRace expect you run solo, are allowed to open doors & roll down windows, mic is at the bottom center of the windshield, and you average over 60 seconds. The BassRace was the most exciting since it was my first time doing BassRace. My first two rounds in elimination were cake, but in the finals I was up against Walt Johnson. Walt is the SC BassRac…

Check my Cd player anybody else out there have this Logo on there deck? I doubt it. Taken at night so everything shows up.. FI hook me up with free stuff..Ha Ha...Enjoy..

I am currently in the process of building my dream system in my dream car (1970 olds). My experience with sound systems is limited to small amps and subs, never anything as big or expensive as I am attempting now. I am purchasing 2 12'' dual 1 ohm BTLs (as an spl driver) with all the trimmings and the option in the recommended enclosure shown in the cut sheets that are provided in the Tech forum. The amp I'm going to be using to power these beasts is a T40001bd. T40001bd - 4000 watt 1-channel amplifer 1500x1 @ 4 ohms, 3000x1 @ 2 ohms, 4000x1 @ 1 ohms. I just ordered a 270 amp alternator that does 120 amps (or 170) in idle from dc alternators (as recommended from someone…

As the title suggest, can I resell or trade back the 15" SSD I have that is still in great shape for some credit for purchase of a "bigger" and "badder" sub? Looking for 15" BL with a few options and different ohm load. Advice? Input? PMs? Please let me know! Just thought I would post here for Nick or Scott or Shawn to provide input, or tell me to take it to PM if necessary. Bob

I came across this on the other side of the net. Could this be a sign of things to come? The back plate and basket spacer are different than that of the original ufo. Lets here it Fi, inquiring minds want to know.

Customer service > 10/10 (Scott and Nick, thanks for being so helpfull, they will reply to your emails when they have time, remember their really hard all day and dont have time replying to 50 emails a day from people that have no patience and want to know where their sub is every second of the day) Shipping time > 9/10 (It wasnt Fi's fault but I guess no one should use USPS, they claimed the package was something like 8 ounces over weight.....uhhhh ahhhhhh.... so it got sent back to Fi, I was tempted to email Fi and ask them where my sub is haha, but I pulled myself out of doing it so many times, because I didnt want to seem like those people that complain every s…

I ordered my 12" X series sub July 15th. It says on the website it will take 3-7 business days to build, then it will be shipped. Today is the 21st business day! I emailed a while ago and received a reply on Aug 4th that the subs are currently taking 10-15 days to build and that my sub should be shipped out by the 5th. I emailed again on the 10th when I still hadn't gotten an update on my shipping notice and still haven't gotten a reply back. What is going on? If you are having problems and need to revise the ship dates, at least let your customers know. Me having to make a post and ask isn't very good business.

hey guys i have a new RF t1000bdcp amp that i have hooked up to my fi bl. i have the dual 1 and have it wired to 2 ohms. i have my gain about 3/4 the way on amp because my h/u preout volts are 2.2v. After i play my music for about 20-30 minutes at about 3/4 volume my amp will get extremely hot iv had people burn there arms on it when they set it on it cuz its on my sackseat and its folded down. I was wondering why my amp is getting so hot its crazy. is it because i need a new h/u with 4v preouts or could it be something else and what? i have no bass boost or anything on on amp or h/u.

I just bought a 15" BL and was wondering if the T1500-1bd would be a good match for the BL.

I didn't know where to post this, but since I would be pairing it with a BTL, I posted it here but okay. I am still deciding on an amp. I was looking at a PA Bamf 5500d but I heard it really only will put out about 1500 watts at one ohm. So if thats true my better choices are the AQ2200d, and the Rockford Fosgate t2000 I notice everywhere that the RF runs for about 600-800$. At this fleamarket called Gibralter up here in Michigan, one of the guy says he'll sell it to me for 450$ So 280-300$ for the PA, 389$ for the AQ2200d, and supposedly 450$ for the RF 2000 What do you all think would be the best choice?

ya, old man Dave the admin of my site, likes to go to bed at 9pm so again, i had to put my vid on youtube....but its ok it will save bandwith for a day i guess. Anyway OMD brought over a friend who gave me a smokin deal on some MDF and him and his wife wanted to hear the Hoe for themselves. You know me, im always down to demo (usually) so out the camera came and off we went

Im trying to find an amp that will run with a dual 1 ohm Fi Q at maximum Power for under 300. If anyone could help me please reply and with a link. Thanks so much P.S Scott i may not have to send you back the dual 1 ohm amp for the dual 2 ohm if i can find an amp that will run according to the fi q dual 1 ohm.

It looks as if we have reached the end of an era. The BTL is no longer on the Fi website. Yes, Fi has a website. Lets take a moment and share our favorite BTL experience. My first BTLs were/are the N2 version. I've still yet to try them out in a car, but I have re-coned one of them. It was my first re-cone. Unlike other Fi re-cone stories. My re-cone showed up unexpectedly a week after the order was placed. The glue, which I order after the re-cone, took 2 months to arrive. I did run them in my home theater for a while. The got the job done, no problem. I cant wait to see what they do in my car. Farewell BTL, you will be missed.

I been to the Fi site and looked through the specs for my BL 15 and found 1000 watts rms. Is that a starting point? Do the subs handle more power as you add features, or do they just handle the 1k better.
