Fi Technical

I need a box design for 2 12in fi qs with max diminsions of 30W x 17H x any depth. Preferably with the port in the middle. Thanks.

i recenly got a 12inch bl and i just got it installed today and it is clipping i have an Alpine MRP-m1000, And the faceplate is an Pioneer - Model: DEH-2200UB i have the gain turned down but it isnt hardly hitting at all it is in a 2000 dodge intrepid and when i do turn it up you cant hear the clipping cant hear the clipping inside but once you open the trunk you can hear it clear as day here are the options for the sub Ohm: dual 1Hyper_Pole: noCooling: yes +$30Flatwind: yes +$15Daily_or_SPL: DailyUniversal: noDustcap: white

I wired up my BL 15 D2, eveything is wired correctly but the sub barly moves... im powing it with a 1700 watts amp... and i set it right... is the a wiring problem or my amp? or the sub? any opinions?

my fi bl 12 will be here thursday, got my amp now i need an enclosure. can someone pleaseeee help me with some build ideas, its going in a 98 chevy blazer and id like o have it around 32hz. any help would be appriciated!!

alright so ive had my 12" bl and sundown saz 1500d in a 2 cuft box wired at 1 ohm for about a week now and its not as loud as i expected. its a great sub dont get me wrong but it really doesnt get loud unless i turn on my loudness control on my headunit to atleast low and turn my eq settings on super bass... but i thought i read somewhere that you should not do either of these things... i was checking out my box that i had custom built and the port area was only 3.5" x 4"... isnt this a little small? i thought the port area should be from 32-24 square inches since the box is 2 cuft. would this make my setup louder?

I am getting the 15" Q w/bp power but my amp is a profile ap2000 and only puts out 960 rms bridged at 4 ohms. How can I hook up another amp so that I have about 1500 rms going to the sub and also some new 6x8's that I will be putting in?

FI please remember to add the shipping address to your shipping labels! not just the city and state grrrr... Was looking forward to my Q, guess I get to wait a bit longer until UPS figures out my address. Hopefully you guys are not out on Vacation... I need to vent

Might be a dumb question but whatever I'm very new in box design and I did search but it wasn't easy describing this in a search. I have a box now THE's set up for 1 12" FI BTL tuned to 32hz mounted in my tunk facing the rear of my trunk. Box cu ft now with 1 sub counting displacment and vent is 3.75. I was thinking of installing a second one on the oppisite side of the box firing inside the cabin.... My question is: Will the sub work correctly and sound good this way? With a second sub including displacemnt the cu ft. would by 3.57 so according to specs thats slightly above the low end size for 2 FI BTL's correct? Any suggestions I would appreciate that help thanks gu…

I'm looking to redo my wall for my BTL 18s. I'm currently using a Cactus 5kw, running it at .7. My electrical consists of a 200amp alt, XS d3400 under the hood and a d3100 in the trunk. I'll be adding a second d3100 during the rebuild of the wall. How big would you guys go for the amount of power I'm using? My current wall is 14 cubes (after displacement), 35hz tune, with 192" of port. The design was bad, hence why I'm redoing it. It's only doing a 151.5 at the headrest with the passenger door wide open. The way I have the port and subs I'm having some phase issues and I think I can get much louder then I am. This is just for daily driving with some competing on the side…

I need some help with the dimensions of my slot port before I go ahead and make a disaster. I have a 15" SSD in a 3.8 cuft box. I'd like to tune it to 33Hz as per Fi's recommendation Using one of those online calculators I got the following dimensions 3"H x 6"W x 5.22 L Does that look right? How would that be affected if I wanted to make 2 ports? Any help would be appreciated

Hey everybody i have a quick question, im thinking about buying a 15" Bl but i heard that if I just listen to rap and hip hop that the 15"Q would be the best is this true and also its gonna be running of a RF P1000 1bd do i need the bp power if i get the Q

I've never done a recone before, and I was wondering if there's instructions on exactly what needs to be done. And how to use the adheisive kit that comes from the website. Thanks for any help.

Will a 15" Fi Q with BP power be ok on a AQ2200D amp at 2 ohms (1300 watts) or will that be to much power?

i. I have an old Fi Q that I need to get reconed. When I cut up the soft parts and cleaned up the basket I. Saw it had "Q D2". I figured that would give away the time period in which it was made. I was wondering the power handling of the magnet, as I was thinking of reconing it with a BL recone kit. Could I do that with a Q magnet? I have a mmatts d300hc reconing it to a dual 1 would be my plan. Could the BL recone work with this magnet?

Hey, just received my 15" Fi BL and just constructed a box for it. Box specs: Port Area - 55 Volume before displacement - 3.97 Frequency - 32.2hz - 32.6hz Setup: 15" Fi BL Jl 1000/1 2 awg wiring Stock deck Stock Electrical Here's the problem. My freind with a 12w7 in an H/O box kicks this subs ass! His Setup: 12w7 in H/O box Alpine PDX 1000.1 4 awg wiring Alpine deck Stock electrical His system is in a Dodge Magnum mine is a Ford Expedition soon to be a 96 Cutlass. My plans: Kinetik HC 1800 or more Non stock deck Big 3 under hood Maybe new ALt What else do I need to make it pound harder? New amp? Is the box good specs? Help would be amazing!!!!!!

Adrie Brahma MK I Motor can it be reconed from fi? thanks

hey guys, i ordered 3 Q 18'' subs which i intened to use in a ported application but for some reason not sure how the high QTS option was selected..and in the options it says this is for only sealed applications..so i sent a email thinking i would be ok since it says there is a 30 day wait time but i just got a email saying my subs have shipped so im not sure if they got my email in time and made the change or not, so my question is how bad will it sound if i still throw them in a ported box even though they say the option is only for sealed applications?

with 2K RMS should i go with a BL or a BTL ??? i hear most people run their BTL at like 4k rms or 3k rms and i would rather run a BTL if it wont be vastly underpowered....i was reading on the forum and i think it was tejcurrent who ran 2 18" BTL's off of 2 hifonics 2K RMS amps and hit right below 151. so if i ran 2k to a Bl would it get just as loud as 2k on a BTL ?

I haven't purchased the Q yet but here is the box. Will the bracing get in the way or will I be good? I'll get measurements tomorrow of how far from the hole the bracing is and how many inches in between the two peices if that would help. Appreciate it!

Im running a single sundown 1500saz for now, but might get a second in the future. My vehicle is an ex. cab S10 that I can fit roughly 7-7.5 cube ported box in. Im wanting the most SPL out of my setup and I am comparing 2 15" SSD's against a single 18" BTL. I know my 1 amp wont push the BTL to its limits, but it should do very well with the SSD's. My question is will I get the loudest results running the Sundown at 0.5 ohm (18-1900 watts) with 2 15" SSD's or a single BTL 18?? thanks in advance! Cody

i currently have 1 18 btl in 7 cft box ported. but i have another btl which is stored in my room ^^. the problem is my trunk will only fit a 10 cft box without displacement. so would this be ok or should i stay with one btl and sell the other? would the volume increase with that small box?

Hello, today was one of the worst days ever, and what happened I thought never would, but it. So I'm here today to ask for advice. I was mounting the sub (15 fI Bl) and my hand slipped and ripped the outer foam ring around the sub. It's closer outside towards the steel ring where the holes are, and you can't see it unless you fold the ring. I managed to stop and retract and not run the whole screw drover through, but it did rip. Upon inspecting it closely I lost no material, it's just a 1/8 inch long tear. My question is this fixable? In been reading like crazy and can only see two common solutions. Silicone or superglue. I am leaning more towards the silcone because it w…

Im considering eithet a 15" or an 18" Fi BL. I have an alpine mrd-m1005 amplifier (approx. 1100 watts rms @ 2 ohms). I want to stick this thing in a ported enclosure in the trunk of my cutlass, facing backwards. What would be the absolutely optimal enclosure size for these applications (both sub sizes)?

Im getting a Fi SSD 15". I need to know what options to get and what i should get for an amp. Its GOING TO BE A DAILY SUB THAT WILL BEAT TO ITS MAX EVERY DAY. I want to go with the hifonics brand amp and wonder which is right. I myself think it'll take 1,500 rms no prob. These are the amps im considering... I want to get a 4.0 cu ft box tuned to 32 hz HIFONICS TXI1508D ---------1,500 rms HIFONICS-BXI1608D ---------1,600 rms HIFONICS BXI1208D----------1,200 rms All are 1ohm stable Im going with hifonics cause they are affordable but open to others. i only have like 400 for an amp.

Would be grateful for any help. I just got my 18 btl in the mail and would like to start to build a box. I have built alot of sealed boxes but haven't built a ported box. I drive a 98 tahoe so size is not a problem. It will be used in a daily setup would like to tune that way but get loud thanks for any help
