General Fi

Just added a new option to the SSD, Q, BL, and BTL lineup with colored logos for the dustcaps. Currently we have white, silver, blue, ice blue, red, yellow, green, and burgundy. We will be adding brushed aluminum and carbon fiber next week to the color list. Ill get the web designer to forward the color chart he is doing for the tech section and post it here as well. Just another way to add a your custom touch to the Fi lineup. Some of the colors (no white or silver as well... you should know what white and silver look like ) We will be adding "carbon fiber" and brushed aluminum shortly as well. Thanks, Scott

How long will it take to get my sub? For all Fi subs it is a 3-7 business day lead time. As all drivers are custom made when the order is placed (started the next business day if the order is placed after 12pm). Due to the ever increasing number of daily orders, we have had to change from our initial manufacturing flow process to one that is slightly more flexible and should be stable for the long term regardless of the number of orders received daily. Once we have received payment (and it has cleared) and the building process begins you will be emailed a tracking number via UPS (Quantum View). It Will say something to the extent of "Billing information received". This…

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to pay via a credit card, and not paypal. You do NOT have to use paypal to purchase products from us. Paypal is simply the company that processes our transactions. Please refer to the picture tutorial below, it shows you exactly how to order our products via credit card.

This video explains everything about the cost of the speaker.

This video explains how our recone process works. This video explains what happens when you do not include your information in the packaging and just send us random stuff with NOTHING to go on.

heres a little clip so you know what im working with, ill have outside pics of the caddy if you guys havent already seen it in the background of my other installs collecting dust .........project is started!! so far it will consist of 8 18" subs and the MIGHTY ROCKFORD T15K! This project might take a while since there is so much to do but here are some new progress pics. heres what WAS in it....

Okay so I'm pretty new to Fi, but maybe this can be stickied. I figure if everyone posts when there order ships out and what order number they had, the rest of us can get an idea of the amount of time we still have to wait. I may not tell us how many days but can tell us if it'll be a month or two. Just an idea here, so if you support it, post a reply with your info. So here's what I know so far: Order #1161 (night hawk) shipped out by Feb 28 according to his post I'm order #1193 still awaiting fulfillment. Placed the order Feb 16

Along the lines of the BL promo we finished building up the parts we had for the X series and will be offering them in pairs until they are gone (as a thanks to those that have helped us turn 1 year old). (2) 10" X series subs $150 shipped (2)12" X series subs $160 shipped We can offer deeper discounts for 5 or more subs as well. We built up about 200 12s and 150 10s from old motor stock (when we discontinued them at the beginning of the year) and will be blwing them out to make room for more current line products. To place an order, send an email to [email protected] for Credit/debit card transactions with your name, zipcode, phone number, as well as what you want t…

Keeping true to form at Fi we have an industrial application that uses these 4.500" NdFeB "pads" and felt that the trickle down to car audio might be in order for them. The first iteration uses 3 of them and simply has more Gauss than the 3" pole can handle. Coil has a very healthy inductance/heat ring with external fins for cooling and keeps the heat out of the magnets (which seems to be a problem with some other car audio designs). In playing with this proto it is definitely geared towards SPL, given the motor force. Let us know what you think. Im hoping its not too out of the ordinary to be marketable... as it truly performs. Thanks, Scott

This is the standard replacement for the Gen1 and Gen2 BTLs. It has similar power handling and options. The heatsink/inductance ring which was an option on the Gen2 is now integral to the design. We spent quite a bit of time testing the sinking and cooling to ensure that the Neo magnets used would not suffer degradation due to heatsoak (a problem which plagues other designs). Form followed function with the motor and is why these new versions are a fairly radical departure from the last designs. Weight loss is significant compared to the 11.25" diameter magnets used in the Gen2 motors. More info to come both on the site and here. We are trying to get pics for the N…

**********EDIT********** Hey guys, just needed to let you know that I have been very swamped at my normal 9-5 job, as I have received a promotion and am now the head of the IT dept in gainesville at my company, but that nw means a ton of hours. I have not been able to devote the time to the forum and emails like I used to, and am deeply sorry. As soon as I hire a few more ppl I will be back to full support, but for now I must backout for a little while. I will be back!

I'm on the way home from CES so I figured I would post some pics of some cool stuff around the shop. I talked Scott into letting me take some pictures of the new 22" basket as well as new proprietary speaker measurement system utilizing a laser and some other cool stuff hanging out at the shop. Here's the measurement system: It is attached to a 400lb 4" thick solid piece of solid granite.

Here are a couple of pics of the N1 motor. Little odd looking compared to most designs, but form followed function. This is rather close to final version, except that material for top and bottom plates is a little thicker (for future profiling) and I wasn't paying enough attention when I wrote the code and wrapped the chamfer all the way around when it doesn't need to be where the spacers/end caps mate.

Anyone want to post experiences with each model, how much power, results? exc. I want an n3 like a crack head needs his fix. Seems like the BTL is what really put Fi on the map as far as spl and woofer building respect. When all this was happening I had bought my first pre-09 Q motor.

Hello all, anyway after months of being disappointed with my expectations of my audio shops work. I am having my box redone, and unfortunately I have to spend more money to fix there damn mistakes. Oh well, anyway I am wondering if there really is a big difference between two 10 fi q's or two 12 fi q's. I currently have a fiberglass enclosure for the tops and I can have them modified to fit 12's but that would cost more money. If two 10's can closely copy the 12's in everything I'd rather stick with the 10's. My current set up in my Supra features two Kicker CVR 10's and a Gravity 2 channel amp that says it pushes out 1400 watts more likely than not probably about …

Where do i order than new BTL's as i emailed and i got the automated email. any clue on price?

Ladies/Gents Looking for some cool new pictures of our products in your installs to put up on our facebook page! Post'em up!!

OK, as many of you know the forum crashed during an update and we lost the past 6 months worth of posts and info. This forum is such a valuable tool for customers, new and old, to post questions, reviews, and use as a database to search from. So... I want things built back up and fast. I am hammering out all the details of what this little contest will be and how exactly all the free stuff will be handed out... shirts/stickers. But it looks like it will boil down to this: 1. For those with Fi products: A. Start a detailed topic with description of your system using Fi subs... pics (are a must even if they are off a bad camera phone), enclosure design, amps(s) use…
