    Well, I planned on doing a 3cuft box ported to 33hz in my lincoln ls. As usual I have read a lot about the sub before purchasing it, and in several different locations it has said that i should use the flatwind coil option, however in different locations i have also read just the opposite, it said that i should use the "stock" copper coil for a ported enclosure... i figured i would be able to get the best advice here and the most accurate information. Also what about the cooling option? I have nothing against buying a decent amp, i would get a BL or something but the SSD is a great daily and i drive an hour to work and a hour home so i need a daily lol... If i need to f…

    Is this a good combo, I chose PDX because I currently have it, I also have a sound processor for it to adjust the bass because the pdx doesn't have one =/. I am getting rid of my 1243d Type X. Also it is going to be in the Type X box at 2.0 ft^3, 33-36hz, 1.82 net. Is that good?

    I have a sundown 1500 that I will be getting soon, but I am trying to decide if I should go with the Sundown and a 15" BL fully loaded or if I should buy 1 10" BL fully loaded and wait probably 8 months for another sundown and BL 10". So can anyone tell me what the 10" BL sounds like, i have never heard a 1700 Watt 10" sub before...

    I've sent my sub in to get reconed over a month ago and on n the 2nd of this month I sent an email wondering the status on my sub and when it should be shipping. All I'm wanting is an update or status of my sub because I have not gotten any response since the 2nd and I have sent 2 more emails since then and still no reply. I've seen many other posts about how Fi is always busy and they'll respond, but I need a little more communication than this. Order number is #1259 Thanks.

    okay guys, i am fairly new to the whole subwoofer thing and i need a bit of help getting myself started. First off, i need to know the differences between duals (1) (2) (4). My friend is helping me with most of this, and he tells me that i need subwoofers that come in a dual 4 ohm coil so he can wire them up to 1 ohm. I am planning on getting 2 12" Subwoofers, either Soundsplinters rl-p in a dual 4 ohm (if i knew what that meant) or the Fi Q's, but i'm having a hard time figuring out if they can be wired up to 1 ohm. Whether i get the rl-p's or q's they will be both placed in the same exact sealed enclosure, and will be wired to an elemental designs amp that is running 12…

  19. So i have been reading on and on about different organizations and competitions and am tired, so I thought I would just ask and see if someone knows. Is there a category that I will be competing in with the following setup. This is in a cut through of a truck with a camper shell. 4 18" BTLs in a wall 2 amps, 1 for each set of BTLs other amps for mids and highs As I said, I am tired of reading. The few times I thought i figured out that i could compete in a certain event there was a little note saying a truck with a cuthrough was not allowed. are there any where a truck cut through is allowed?? THANKS

  23. I emailed you guys about getting a recone done for a older style 12" BTL sub. I needed a broken lead tinsel fixed and the dustcap replaced but Nick said that you guys were going to do a full recone anyways. Nick was emailing back for a couple of emails and then he just stopped without giving me a price quote or address to send the sub and how to pay for it. I have emailed every email associated with Fi already. Nick email me back please. my email is [email protected]. I don't know if your spam filter had put my email in the spam folder or what but I have not heard back from you since. I have checked my spam folder and inbox and no new emails from Fi. Thanks. Phi
