General Fi

Well after just about worrying myself to death, this bitch came. Initial impressions, the packaging could be a little more sturdy as my sub shifted a bit but besides that, i am definitely impressed by this thing. Build quality is excellent, nice & stiff ready to be broken in. I can't wait to give this thing the business with 1500w. Absolutely beautiful specimen if I do say so myself. The pictures just don't do it justice... anyways on with the good stuff! Whats this? sexy? oh yeh so sexyyyy Will it be loud? Oh yes, it will be loud

Got my 12" Q in today. As I was admiring its' beauty, I noticed that it had 3 red terminals and 1 black. Shouldn't there be 2 Black (-) and 2 Red (+)? May be a dumb question, but this should have no affect on playability should it?

Hey all, I'm thinking of buying a Fi Q with the cooling option, and was going to power it with a Kicker ZX1500.1 or an MTX TE1501D. Both are rated at 1500 watts, but the kicker is at 2 ohm and the MTX is at 1 ohm. Would 2ohm be better, since I heard that running the same wattage, a 2 ohm amp is going to be more stable and run cooler/more reliably than those running at 1 ohm. First off...would the MTX be a better bet? I believe it has an adjustable subsonic filter for 20hz-50hz, where as the kicker is non adjustable at 25hz. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I heard it was an important feature. Could anyone explain the reasoning behind this? Secondly, any opinions, …

I am using Bass Box Pro and need these last parameters for my subs...If you or anyone knows them could you please post them...Thank you.. FI BL 15" LE Z Pe

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?

I've made a couple of these threads but I recently picked up 2 Rockford T1500's for a steal. Now I'm definately close to purchasing 2 15 BL's and just curious what the experts have to say on this. I'm thinking since they are RF's they are going to be rated a bit higher rms, so how will that go along with the BL's? Also, what reccomendations do you have when it comes to wiring these? It says they arent bridgable, but can I still make this work? Pretty clueless when it comes to amps/wiring and all that. Thanks for all your help guys.

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…

i blew a voice coil in my 15" btl, how much are recones and is reconing it difficult?

I just wanted to give props to FI. I have been reading lots of various magazines involving cars and have never really seen FI anywhere. Yesterday I picked up the new copy of Car Audio Magazine and long behold, one of the champion SPL competitors was in it showin his 4 18" BTLs which he hit over 180dbs with. Nice to see them in a magazine and getting some attention. I am sure this will cause a small flood of people who never heard of ya to become more interested. CONGRATS!!

Right now in my truck I have a ported enclosure with 2 12" Rockford P3's, 500 watts each. I am new, so to me this is really nice and loud....actually produces a decent amount of SPL, made my rearview mirror fall off a couple times. Anyway, do you think 2 12" or 15" Q's sealed can compete if not beat these. I know they will kill the P3's in SQ, but I dont wanna lose all my SPL. I keep reading these things throw out a nice amount even sealed. THANXXX

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.

I have to find something to put in the trunk of my girls new car. Sadly, I already forgot what she has, came home with it today out of the blue. HUGE....MASSIVE......TRUNK. This thing looks like it can fit 2 spare tires flat it it. 2 15" Q's sealed 1 15" BTL 2 12" BLs 2 12" Q's ported

11cubes to work with...2btl 18's ported tuned to 35hz with 2k going to each or 3 q18's sealed with 2k going to each? for the folks cant understand 2 18's ported 4,000 watts or 3 18' sealed with 6,000watts either setup will be in a blazer walled off 80 i feel like such a noob

I was wondering if this amp would power 2 12 ssd good. I am on a really tight budget, and didn't know if this was a good amp or not? http://cgi.ebay.com/BOSS-CHAOS-CH3000D-300...0QQcmdZViewItem

This is somewhat of an extension of my other thread.... I decided to sell my Q15's to buy a pair of BTL's, but that would required alot more upgrades to my system (batts, alts, and bears oh my) This morning, while I was sippin on my coffee, I was thinking that I could ADD 2 more Q15's and an amp running around 4k-5k watts and keep it sealed. Yes, it would still put more stress on my electrical system, but I am more equiped to handle that ATM. I have dual batts and a 140 amp alt and lots and lots of 0awg. I also like the sound of the Q's sealed. They are so damn authoritive down low in a sealed sealed application. All my high scores are in the 35-38hz range, which I l…

Well with the end of summer and working 70 hours a week at my summer job on top of building a car i will finally be back around more often after next Thursday. Just got back in and moved to college and we've got to wait until late next week before we will have internet access... Hopefully my presence will be more noticed in the next few weeks as i get back into the swing of things and not running every which way but loose.. I have not been able to answer any of my emails due to them being server based and without having an isp i can't download and reply to all of them...i had quite a few stored on my cell phone from last week and that has since disappeared due to a glitch…

I have 4 t3 audio tss 15's (last year model).wanting them rebuilt to 18's. I can do it myself just need baskets and soft parts. If you guys at fi could help me out i would be greatful. oh also need them before nopi thanks

would two 18 fully loaded BL's take the soundstream xxx-6500 amp? they are ported of course tuned to 35hz with two hifionics clossus one on each, they wang hard as hell. but just wondering if this amp would be too much? it is 4800 at 2 ohms and 6400 at 1 ohm but i have been told they were much stronger than rated but with voltage drop i should be around that range>>> should wang i think

I got my sub last tuesday and it looks great. Today I finished my box and wiring up the sub when I found one set of the terminals was broken. It looks like someone tighten it to much and pulled the screw out. I included a pic of the problem. If I can get a new one I can put it on and solder it myself. Thanx for the help.

So, all i have exp with are the typical square ports that are commonly seen. I have no idea about these nice little round ports that occasionally pop out at me. Can yall give me some info on these. I kinda like the way they look and am now kinda thinkin of givin them a try on my girls little car. any info would be great. as i said, i have no clue as to anything about them at all.

I really do hate asking this question, but I am curious. I only really see everyone running 15's and 18's, not 12's. Does anyone know how the 12" BTLs sound?? Or at that size would it be better to go with a BL or Q?

well i been lookin at the BL 15 for a while now and I decided to grow a pair and buy one! Placed my order, hurt to look at the receipt a bit but it'll be worth it! my 6" PSP port should be here shortly too ;P

I was wondering about daily RMS powerhandling. I know every sub has imp rise,. But lets say I have a 15 " ssd with flatwound coils. Could I put a 1200 watt rms amp on it daily? or 1400?;
