Fi Products

What is the current status of the Fi IB3-18? I've recently received (4) of them, and I'm considering purchasing more and I'm curious as to their availability. Are there production changes being made that somehow impact the IB3-18? Are there operational changes that your able to share publically? I just think you've got a great thing going, and I don't want my source for IB drivers to change in any way. Regardless, you've got a fantastic operation, and even prior to completing my HT IB build I'm really digging these drivers. Thank you and good luck

I recieved my pair of dual 1ohm Q 12"s roughly 4 months ago. I had previously been running a pair of Diamond Audio TDX 12"s and was looking to upgrade. The Q's seemed to be a good contender for this sub, so I decided to try them out. I will start by showing my appreciation for the people associated with Fi. I would like to say that the countless hours Shawn Fleming spent on the phone with me trying to find the right product that would fit my taste and goals was incredible. Also, the quick response to my email and endless questions from Scott shows his dedication to customer service and desire to create another lasting relationship with his coustomers. Thank you both for …

I just finished adding a new option for the SSD and Q series subs. This new option adds a machined aluminum compression plug to the pole which helps channel all of the air under the dustcap around the coil for better cooling. To aid with this increased airflow we also add 6 axial cooling channels in the top plate. Along with increased thermal capacity comes the addition of an extra spider and a changed spider pack for a little extra mechanical ability. All of these new features increase power handling from 200-500 Watts depending on the application. Its just another way of tuning and tailoring your subs to your exact needs. For those interested in a retrofit... we can …

What is the big secret for next week?

Hello there audio enthusiasts! I have a single FiQ 10, stock options except it has the High QTS. I am running it in a sealed box with 0.7 cuft of total volume, minus the Q's 0.12cuft of displacement. Sub Box It is powered by a Alpine MRP-M500, It is a Dual 1 Q with the voice coils in series for 2 Ohms. Ok, this sub is beautiful. I really do like it aesthetically, and it is a terrific sounding sub. My only real complaint is that I can't seem to get any real oomph out of it. I realize it is a SQ, but i have had 90$ subwoofers at a fraction of the power pound louder. When I first installed the sub and amp, I couldn't even get any noise out of it hardly until the amp's gain w…

hey all bl owners...this is my first post on ssa...umm...all owners of fi bls...please state your views on the bls overall performance and your personal listening experience with them.

I am trying to decide what set of 15s would be better to go with. I'm gonna be powering them with a Crescendo BC3500D. In a 1999 Mustang with a 4th order box. So, Fi BL 15 or Sundown X 15??

I have had the chance to get a hold of a Fi x 12 subwoofer. i could not be happier with my purchase! i was running it on 400 watts but now im running it on 900 plus watts and it takes it like a champ! Heres a vid....

Is this really coming out? If so what series are they gonna make? BL? Q? and How will it stack up versus the Death Penalty 21? I'm gettin a SUV next year and I want to get either the DP 21 or Fi 22 if there is going to be such a thing

Ordered this bad boy on black Fiday and it's finally here! It was funny watching the UPS guy strain his back while he carried the box to the front door. After opening the box and unscrewing the top cover I was surprised by how beefy the sub was for a 12. The cone was extremely stiff to push down and the size of the magnet is huge. Unfortunately I won't be able to power the sub until the new enclosure is finished and the rest of the car is set up. Anyway here are some pics of the new toy.

SP4 Heavier SP4 More mounting depth SP4 4" coil vs 3" on N2 SP4 10" spider and higher mechanical linearity than N2 SP4 More long term thermal stability SP4 Sealed capable vs N2 ported only N2 More motor force N2 Inductance ring that balances the inductance swing better SP4 Slightly lower overall inductance than N2 N2 Well... its cool because its Neo N2 It's expensive because its Neo (and constantly increasing in cost) SP4 Slightly higher Xmax (coil limited) SP4 Lower FS for those that think it matters In general we created the N2 as the replacement for the older generation BTLs. We have seen the direction people are going with the BTLs and arranged the N2 specs to be clos…

A while back I burnt up the leads of my sp4 15 (and only on 2400 watts). The new FOAD leads look cool and all but after seeing a few pictures of them being torn up after daily use, I don't know how they will hold up. Maybe a psi recone would be better? Input or advice please?

not sure how familiar you guys are with fi on here, ran just about every sub they have had since back in 08 but check this out, when the N3 launched it was around 530 give or take your model i know this because i purchased a 15" BUT NOW ITS 800 DOLLARS!!!!!! as seen here https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn154fab58ee6eb3b/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0010_BTL/0070_N3/product_overview.shopscript now wait let me guess... this is what the reply will be NEO cost has gone up (which is absolutely true) cost of labor, other misc materials has gone up and the original--WE innovate, we design, we are god, we created subs, we are the best (which is mostly true) PLUS we …

Are the n2s still set to ship on Monday the 22?

ok so i got my bl today, i ordered the dual 1 ohm and wired it up in series to get a 2ohm load. I have a RF t1000bdcp which puts out 1400 watts at 2ohms. so i went to hook it up and play it with the gain set half way no bass boost and the infrasonic filter is set at 28hz with a box tuning of 33hz at 2.5cbft. When i turned it on to play it you can barely even hear it?? I dont know whats wrong but i had a power acoustik 10 in there before and it hit waaayy harder then my new bl. I know i wired it up right i hooked up a wire from neg on one side to pos on other side, then pos to amp pos and neg to amp neg. Can someone please help me out on what could be wrong i just dont und…

So, i went tubing down a local river this week and lost my keys and lanyrad. while searching for a new Jordan i figured i would state that you guys should make a FI lanyard. Just kinda a thought for the mic. section. Good idea.. yes, no, maybe?

Can you guys build recone kits for the RE Audio SE and SEX 12 inch subs? Maybe US Amps has the recone kits, but I do not like their subs since they were not the same ever since they were sold to US Amps. I am trying to say that lightly without bashing other companies.

I dont know if anyone else is having this problem but the dustcap stickers fell off of my n2s after playing for a few minutes. I love the subs but id like to have my sexy fi logos on the subs too!

When are the new SSD subs gonna come out?

I used to have a pair of Kicker CXV 12s sealed in 1.2 cubes each chamber powered off my JBL GTO 1201.1 II amp (puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms) and they had a good amount of output and sounded ok but nothing spectacular. I know they would have sounded alot better with more power, like a SAZ 1500D. Which do you feel would get louder with the SAZ 1500D and the same sealed enclosure?

Hey everyone! I want to buy a new one 15" Fi BTL-N2 dual 2, fullly loadded daily version, but there is one problem. I don't know how many power woofer can handle daily. I have a amp with a lot of power and this is DD Z2lv this amp has around 8.5kW @ 1 ohm. Can this sub handle too much power? Yes, I know that I must turn gain down, but I buy this amp, because I think that better more power and than gained down than have amp with less power which clipped at maximum. I think to set my gain on amp to watch excursion. I want to know how is the durability at the maximum excursion? Can sub handle this? Please post your experiences at this power. Thanks!

Which of the 2 subs you think plays the lowest???

Fella's, today i decided to put some volume to my FI BL 12's and noticed very quickly that the dust caps got hot. I know it has to be one of three things. Either the amp is giving too much power to the subs, The amp is clipping or the voice coils are wired incorrectly?? I never noticed this until today. Any ideas?

Alright in about a month i plan on buying new subs, I’m looking to spend around 600$. I was originally wanting to get two 12" SSD's, but now that the SP4 line is out idk. i can get one 12” SP4 for about the same price as two SSD, my question to yall is which is a better buy? What will i be more pleased with? Which one hits harder? Which one sounds better? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
