    I just wanted to post up and say I love my SSD's but they are killing my trunk lol. I DONT understand how you guys are getting BL's and BTL's haha Here is a pic as of now. My installer is going to finish up this weekend hopefully with carpet, a complete false wall, sound deadening, and something he wont tell me for the false floor Here is an idea of the horrible trunk rattles hah. Sounds like sh!t right now Embarrassing! Volume is about half way up, bass boost is up 1/4th on the knob. This is before sound deadening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWOh4Dunru8

    I'm building a home theater setup and was wondering if a q can be custom ordered In a 21" or 22" basket? Or if one can be reconed and basketed to that size.

    if this is in the wrong section, please move/delete it. I've had my fi Q 12 for about 4 or 5 months now. I have an mtx amp which supposedly gives out 1200rms at 1 ohm but i only have kicker 4 ga running to it so i doubt its putting 1200rms out. the sub has recently started making weird rattling noises when played at about 5/8 to max volume. i hope its not blown out. the cone pushes down pretty easily. The noise it makes is like a car rattling noise but its coming directly from the speaker. any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I finally picked up my Fi Q12 from UPS warehouse after a torturing wait for 2 days. The reason is the package was droped around 5:28 pm last friday at the UPS warehouse and I came there few minutes early hoping that the truck will drop it off but was sadly told that the package is still inside the truck and the warehouse is closing at 5:30 pm. The guy at the UPS asked me.. " Is this sub inlcudes the box already?" LOL! I told him it's just the custom sub from Ficaraudio. He said "I have 2 Alpine Type R's that probably weighs the same as that" lol! Anyways, I finally picked it up today and here's some pics.:

    I currently have a 12bl fully loaded followed by a sundown sae 1200d. Is it worth returning the two and buying a 12in FI BTL and an audioque 2200d? Or should i keep what i have right now? With the items i have now i spent about $650-700 including shipping, However if i were to purchase a btl12 and an audioque 2200d it will cost me about $789, but i get refunded $139. Should i do it?

    I just got my two fully loaded FI Q15s. These monsters weigh about 45 pounds each. The build quality of them is nothing short of amazing. I built two sealed boxes that have about 2.5 cubes per box for these things to pound in. Thanks goes out to Scott and the rest of the team at FI for making some of the best subs. These things are built like a Tank!! I just wish that FI would post some larger pictures of there stuff so they can show off all of the detail in their high quality subs. Thanks again FI for making a sound quality sub that also gets loud.

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to say, I got my setup in and it sounds AMAZING. I got the 15" loaded BL and bought the aq1200d amp to go. With this i installed the big 3 with 0 gauge except battery to chasis is 4 because i ran out lol.. My battery is stiing around just over 13 volts when off ! and when i play about 14.4 ish. Its in a 3.3 cubic foot box tuned to around 32 hz. Let me say, i have been breaking it in carefully, and wow do i notice a difference. My previous settup was 2 12" jackhammers with a 500 rms sony xplod amp and a cap lol (yes i got rid of the capacitor) It gets really loud in there for sure, while sounding deep and clear, and i know it will get louder,…

  22. I need some serious opinion on this not opinions about what brand you prefer but truly which sub is the better overall woofer. I have (2) T2000.1bd RF, RF Line Driver BLD, 2 Kinetic HC 2000 racing series batteries, big 3, high output alternator, Monster Cable 402 series RCAs, Pioneer Priemere 980T head unit. I have never had experience with either brand but from what ive heard the 3500 will walk the BTL (fact or is someone dreaming?)

  25. Started by txhouse,

    Alright guys and gals. I am looking at getting two ten inch subwoofers for under the seat of my 2010 dodge ram crew cab. I am comparing the BL, Q, and SSD. This is not a which sub sounds better kind of thread. What I would like to know is what the motor width is on these subs and at what depth is that width at because I see that the motors get really wide then taper down. I want to know this because the box for the 2010 ram crew cabs tapers down towards the bottom so I'm kinda limited for space in that sense. I have enough room (air space) wise. Any help you can give me would be extremely appreciated.
