General Fi

i have been trying since monday to get my order in with fi car audio sales and scott for a fully loaded btl 12 and after 5 days of anxious waiting he emails me back saying that it'll be 501 shipped out here to hawaii well that email made me happy.....mind you that was at about 630 am our time he says that he will call me later on on the after noon our time and get my information so i can pay... well ive been waiting by the phone all day and no call currently 900pm..... so far ive waited 5 days now to place my order and i am becoming irratated as their is a little comp coming up and i would like to enter with the btl... plus its a birthday present to myself......im just ve…

first question: What would be the smallest enclosure you all would reccommend for two fully loaded 18" BTLs seeing about 3500watts(rms)/sub, tuned to the low/mid 30s and mainly for daily driving (with maybe the occassional competition)? second question: i know on your site it says the btl comes in a 10" size, but i thought i remember some problems with it so you all quit making them as 10s. im basically wanting to know if u all still make a 10" BTL that is built for pure spl? thanks, andy mods: u can move this to the FI technical section if u want...didnt know where to put it.

anyone tell me please? thanks

Ok heres the story, im chillin in the intersection down the street from my house waiting for the light and then this SUV in front of me decides he wants to bump his chit......so you KNOW i had to let him have it. Well i fired up a gucci mane song "pyrex pot" and it took a few seconds before the beat hit, but in the meantime the highs was' tickin pretty hard. So i look over and i got the attention of some brothas in the gas station on the corner and i just shake my head and acknowlege the battle thats about to happen when this beat drops. So you know the song kicked in and i shut that dude down HARD in front of me and he sped off. I didnt get it on tape because i wasnt pre…

that is all.

hmm, title only. perhaps you should understand the application of the driver better, it will be loud but... edit: first time that I have ever posted first in a thread that I didn't make

I need to get a recone for a D2 BTL15. Just need to know where to paypal the money to. I tried emailing but didn't get a response yet. Thanks

Just as the title states?? I travel over that way about 8 months of the year. after being told that the last tl i used reads low i'd like to try another one. just wondering if you guys had one. thanks!!

Like the title says, I was wondering if there are pumping losses or air noise exiting from the cooling channels or the like thanks. Just to be clear, I'm only curious about bp power option only, let's just say the sub was inverted for reference.

Hey I ordered a D1 SSD 10 awhile ago, with the BP Power option and the copper coil. My tracking number says that my sub came today at 2:11pm and was delivered to my front door, but my mother was here all day and says she never had somebody come to the door. I came home at 3:20 and there was no package outside then. It is now 6:11pm and there is still no sub here. Is this typical with tracking orders from Fi? I contacted UPS and they said to contact Fi. Please get back to me ASAP as I am really worried I will not get my sub. I emailed Scott a little bit ago and just put this up to see if any1 could give me any other info. Thanks, Ross

Anyone at Fi, I need to send back my 15" Q for repair. My brother wanted to help me when I was attaching it to the box and he slipped with the drill, poking a hole in the rubberish material between the paper cone and the gasket. I was wondering what repair costs would be for that? I no longer have the box it was shipped to me in, so what I will have to do is have Fi send me a box for it. If it is an option, I would also just like to have the box already pre-payed to ship to y'all and then y'all send it back to me, and I can pay the total for repair and the shipping both ways, whatever it would be. I am pretty sure I am going to have this sent back and have that replaced,…

hey, ive been trying to contact you guys about recones for my 2 8" assassins that i sent in a while ago. ive been emailing scott back and forth, but my last email was last week, and he told me he'd call me on monday for my card info. its now friday, and i still havent heard anything from fi. i tried calling today and left a message, but no reply...any updates for me? im desperately waiting for my two cute drivers to show up.

So I have been suggested to run about 125sqin. or port to make the lowend comeout. Well that would result if a very large box wich I dont think I can fit. I May be able to squeeze 12 cubes out of my truck, should that work?

I've e-mailed you twice about reconing to 15s and haven't heard back from you at all...

hey um e-mails not working again or something.. im getting an avalanche motor and 15" basket wondering if a Q recone will fit in that motor. assuming its a yes, how much would a 15" q recone be, with 1 stiff, 1 soft spider, dual 2 ohm (just the soft parts)

Also curious about this one. I have had some cheap subs in the past with horrible bass response. How do the BTLs stand up for bass response. I have a friend with RF P3's in their "special" enclosure (the plastic ported box) and I have noticed that a lot of the bass notes are jumbled together and don't stand out from one another. Since the BTL's are some big SPL subs, do they do this as well or are they a little better and letting the notes stand out.

My first sealed box for my 2 Q15's was 4.4ft^3. It sounded perfect. Now I have 4 Q15's sealed in 8.6ft^3 (after displacement). It is a little less then half the doulbed volume of the dual sub box. I assumed that my roll off would be nearly identical to my first box, or my tuning would be slightly higher, but it is actually opposite. It peaks at 35hz +/- but rolls off quickly above 40hz, as if the box is too big. Could it be possibe that the specs need to be adjusted do to box size or the amount of subs used? Maybe because it is all a single chamber? Because if this, I am considering doing a box that is about 10ft^3 with 4-5 4" round ports tuned to 34hz. That woul…

do you think that you could re-cone a dd 3515?

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?

Scott/Nick, I got a recone kit from you the other day and went to recone it for a customer and took the tape of the motor for the first time and the top plate on the motor seems to have shifted . Now onto the question, if i send the motor in could you reset the top plate? Corey

will there be a new cone design for the Q line or any line? Maybe something that looks like the new AA Havocs. Make it an all black cone with the with the Fi logo painted on the bottom of the cone in flat black. Something like the havocs or the w7's. And since the subs are made to order, you could do any color that the buyer wants to have on it. Sound good to anyone???

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.

And I can not wait to see them.

in case my subs dont sell, im wondering what a recone costs. the purpose of reconing 1 month old subs is simple...trying to make them dual 2 ohm instead of dual 1 ohm and want to see if it would be cheaper to buy the kits instead of selling my bl's and rebuying another set thats dual 2 ohms. two zip codes 91941 and 91730. if i could get a quote on a 18" dual 2 ohm bl recone kit i would appreciate it. oh btw, you can recone to a dual 2 from a dual 1 right? they dont have different dimension that wont fit do they?

So my grandfather comes down for a visit in his new car, one of those two seater fast driving Caddy's, nice car. He sits and listens to my system, seems to love it. Out of no where this 72 yr old throws me in his car and cranks up his radio. He has an SQ setup using 3 10" eclipse subs (not sure what type, but nice), and two sets of Rainbow Germaniums. That stuff sounded nice. For the first time I was listening to something that didn't just throw out so much bass that is almost all you could hear. To make things better, my old lady is makin me sell one of my trucks to get a car in the next couple months, meaning a new setup. I will probably be on here asking all sort…
