General Fi

Ordered a 12" Fi Q dual 2 tonight Will be purchasing a sundown sae-1000d later in september to go along with it

will banana plugs fit in the push terminal on the bl's

I just got my 12" Fi Q. This is my first quality subwoofer, hooray! Just a quick question. On both sides of voice coil, there are + and - springs, total of 4. This is dual 2 ohm, wiring down to 1 ohm load. It is my understanding to do this, you run positive wire to positive, from one coil to the other, then negative to negative. But then, what? How does it hook up to the enclosure. Do I run the wire in parallel from one side of sub to other, then run a wire from one side into the enclosure? I looked for diagrams, but none were clear exactly how I run the wire from sub to enclosure. Thanks in advance.

of sound deadening do you think it will take me to do the whole trunk and spare tire well of my 06 cadillac cts?

Just wanted to say thanks to scoot and fi for helping me get some materials i needed to get my sub up and running for a usaci competition today. Got 3rd place with a 146.9 but more importantly had a blast.

hi its me again, i currently have a bl15 great sub, Ive seen people seem to like more the 18 inch subs better than 15" are 18 that much better, i see they need a big box but would the output be that much better if yes what percentage increase do you guys think i can get with a 18". Now my other question how can i make a box for one that is going to be in my caddy devilles trunk i cant go higher than 19 inches tall for the box and i dont think i would make it becuase the sub is 18" plus box material .75, so can i make a box facing up and port facing to the back of the trunk?? would that sound good in a car?? thanks again and comments are apreciated.

I was planning on purchasing a fully loaded 15'' btl and wanted to know if I could get a couple suggestions on what amp I should purchase. I'm looking at the 2-Channel XXV Colossus (1 x 3200-Watts....Bridged Mono @ 2-Ohms)-$660.00 or the hifonics BXi 2006D (2000-Watt x 1 RMS @ 1-Ohm)-$314.00 or the memphis mojo 16-MC2000D (RMS Power 2 ohm (Watts) 2000 x 1 @13.8V)-$880.00 or the Sound Streem PCA3500D PICASSO ( 3500W x 1 @ 1 ohm)-$480.00. The reason I ask because I've only had experience with the memphis amp and was impressed but as you can see its alot more expensive then the other amps that put up similar numbers. So if anyone could help me decided which amp I should purc…

i know there are some busy times over there. just wondering when will Scott be available for answering emails. i wish to make some international orders to Israel. thanks

I just ordered a BL Im soo exited i cant wait to get it.. i wonder when i will see it

are you guys shipping international? if so.. can anyone send me information on how to order 15" fi BTL? needs some advice..

as title says looking for the newest update on BTLs. I ordered towards the end of back order but really hoping i can recieve my woofers in the next couple weeks. I have 4 audio competitions between August 28th and September 8th so an updates can help me. I do not wanna rip out the system i have now to not recieve anything before this time period but id like to start my wall build if i will. Any updates will put me at ease =) thanks, justin

someone help mee!! where can i find the tracking #? i have two different numbers, i have the invoice number and a receipt number. which one is the tracking number, if either of them, if not where can i find the tracking number? thankss

I'm sure this has come up before, but I searched and didn't find anything. I'm designing my box to have 1.3cuft per speaker. What would change if I moved it up to 1.4 or 1.5? would it make much of a difference? Also while I'm here, for the BP power, the website says it "increase power handling from 200-500 Watts depending on the application. 
". In this application, being 1.3cuft sealed, would I be okay giving them 1300w? Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys, Ive been using my BL's for ...i dont know 3 years or so. Awesome drivers. BUT I pulled them out the other day and the motor is showing signs of rust. Not nearly as bad as the terminals on the shitty Samsung TV after a year, but its there. Now I live at the sea and things do go bad around here. How much would it cost to rust proof these things. Maybe can add a few extra options such as Powder-coating and using Stainless where possible. I could post pics, but the fact is they still play just fine and its not nearly as bad as this post might make it sound; just sad to see rust on my babies.

There is a problem with my Q 12, and I need to send it back to Fi to work on it. I got an email from Nick that says: "The only thing I can think that may have happened is the coating that is on the top side of the cone body has delaminated. One out of every 1500 cones or so will run into this issue. Print this email off, place it in the box and send it in to us. When we get it back in I'll check it out or another tech will check it out and see what's going on." So do I not need a return authorization number? I just send the box with the email in it and that's it? Also, does it matter how I ship it? Is USPS fine?

My name is Sean Martin I Oredered 2 12" Fi SSD

scott i will email you with all the details, just wanted to give you a heads up. need to talk to you before friday.

For the BL 15's it says 4 cubes max for each sub, so if I have 2 it would just be 8 cubes, no strings/formulas attatched? Also, the more cubes the better, correct? And lastly, I was thinking of tuning to about 33, anyone have some advice on this? Thanks

Hey Scott, I know your a very busy man, but i was just wondering if u forgot about the tinsel lead for my XXX. I emailed you my address 2 weeks ago. Well even ever you can get a chance and send it, i would appreciate it. Thank you and have a good day Brian my email address is [email protected]

how do i upload a pic of my sub on here all i get are http things and its on my computer ?? is there a special way i dont know about??

Hey Nick or Scott ... need some help with an MT, I need a recone by the 4th for a local sound off (if I can get it next-day'd or 3 day guarantee UPS or whatever) but was wondering what options I'd have when it come down to the recone ... I'm throwing ~4k at the sub for burps, I want a dual .7 instead of the dual 1.4 it is now so I can run it at 1.4 or .35 for burps, but suspension/coil wise could it be upgraded? Also as far as the spiders are concerned upgrading to like 5 or 7 layer woven? I sent Nick an email yesterday or the day before ... just need this quick, so I hope it didn't find the spam filter

hey, forgot to call me back today . anyhow, this is Tom I tried to pm you, but it says my outbox is empty, anyhow, email or call me whenever about the neo storm recones, [email protected] or 808 640 2540, I need to get you money so I can get me some recones later, thanks for all your time and help, Tom

First if im wrong about any of this feel free to tell me, but make sure you explain dont just tell me im incorrect explain why I am. Ok I need to figure out what type of sub/subs I want to get so I will give you a little background on my preference of what I have heard and what I like my first friend has some very cheap Polk 12 inch polk db's in a small like 2.8cft ported box and when im in the car his subs aren't that loud but when im in a building and he pulls up I can tell instantly he's bumping even though im in the middle of the building and he's no where near, now on the other hand I just bought my first pair of subs and they are Rockford Fosgate P3's 12s and I put…

Off the top I want to go ahead and thank anyone for any help they give since I am a new guy on here. I want to get some opinions from some people familiar with Fi before I change my current setup in my car which is a 2000 Toyota Solara. I am currently running two Soundstream T4 Tarantulas in a 4.5cu. box powered off of a US Amps MD2D (2004 model). I have an optima yellow top up front with an extra batery in back along with the Big3 and 0/1 gauge for power. Also have a seperate eq w/ 8 volt pre outs. The last time i metered it was at 141db. (42hz peak) I am planning on running 1 BTL 15" powered off 2 US Amps MD2Ds in a 4- 4.5 cu box tuned 30-32hz. I will also add another O…

Going over yet another system design...6 x 15's in a wall.....have a couple ideas....thanks to Shawn Flemming...that could work pretty well :-) just trying to get some opinions on both 1 - subs facing forward (would be staggered to fit the height requirement) with the port in the middle 2 - subs firing towards each other, staggered with the port in the middle - basically a ported clamshell there would be 3 subs on each side
