Fi Technical

I have a 12" bl and and I recently built a new box for it. I noticed some what of a clicking sound coming from the sub. At first I just thought it was something rattling in the back of my car but today I went to check it out and noticed it was coming from the sub. It only seems to do it on the low notes and it doesn't do it every time either. I can't seem to figure out what or why it is making that sound.

this box is for a 12" bl and its gotta fit in my 99 acura el (honda civic sedan for you americans) my link let me know what you think.

I plan on running to Fi Qs in a sealed enclosure, using the minimum recommended volume due to space constraints. My power is a Zapco c2k 9.0 4ohm version. I can run the amp bridged or in stereo, so that opens up both the dual 1ohm and dual 2ohm voice coil configs as options. Since I intend to run sealed, I plan on ordering the high QTS option. So here is the dilema: I noticed that the T/S parameters are different for both the D1 and D2 ohm cofigs, and I imagine that the high QTS option further changes the T/S parameters. With that in mind, does anyone have any thoughts on which configuration would behave the best installed in the smallest recommended volume and usin…

I have an X12, 4ohm with BP power option, in a 1cu ft box after displacement, running on 350 watts. I need to know about what frequencies to set to LPF and subsonic adjustments on my Mono amp to best meet the specs of the sub. My subsonic will adust from OFF to 50Hz and the LPF adjusts from 40Hz to 220Hz Thanks Steve

This is a box plan I made, and want some output on this. I was hoping someone could double check "my work" as you would call it, to see if everything seems okay. Image attached along with specs below: box image Specs: For a 15" fi ssd in a 1st gen mazda 6 trunk. .75 MDF Gross box volume 4.05 cu ft. Net volume: I suck at math, no clue. Hoping to be within 3-3.5 cu ft range? 4" aeroport tuned @ 33hz. ***optional setup (I am leaning towards this)*** 4.05 cu ft. gross with 6" aeroport tuned @ 35hz. Dimensions: 15" tall x 35" wide x 30" BD x 4" TD x 29.15" angled front panel length. As I said, honest opinions are GREATLY appreciated, as I want to nail this project. Thanks! -…

I ordered a re cone kit for a 15" RE SE 12 spoke basket/motor. I opted for the double spider option, internal leads, etc fully loaded. About how much power can this sub now handle? I did not see any specifications on the re cone page. Thanks for help in advance

I'm getting away from a ported box with my X 10" and going small sealed like .6ft^3. So what kind of power would get it rocking pretty good. I'm thinking around 300 but currently have 160 on it and love it. I want more sq and not so loud as ported. I love the sub and don't want a different one just different sound.

iam having a prob with designing my port for my box can anyone give me some ideas on what to do i already used the speaker boxtunning calc but it didnt really help me

say you have ur port is it bad for it to be perfect for ex. a 10"hieght x 10"wide port pleases leave ur opions belowww thank youu

okay my box is 20"hight x 40"wide x 20 "depth according to the speaker box tunning calc. its is 7.63cubic ft. now iam trying to figure out my port on it and the lengths i have right now is 7"hirght x 9" wide x 15" depth and i get 33.81 hertz its the hertz i want my box to be tuneed to but the port area per foot is only 9.14"sqaured and Fi says the port should be 12-16"sqaured do i have to cahnge the port to be 12-16"sqaured thank you for your help

New to the audio scene and was posed with this question.. Lets say I am trying to squeeze a box into my car, and the trunk fully stripped, can only accept a box that is a max height of 15.5". Would it be possible to fit a 15" Fi SSD in a box that was reduced to 15.5 inches tall? Wouldn't that affect the integrity of the box, being that thin on the top and bottom, or would that even work period? More in depth: Id have to bet that there would be a lot of sanding/sawing involved. I am in a predicament, as my sub faces up in my 1st gen mazda 6 sedan. The actual trunkspace has PLENTY of width, and depth, but the entrance inlet from trunk, or seats is not vary tall. As stated…

OKay so i have 10 cubic ft box i need to figure out how long the port needs to go into the box and the size of the port hole the box is 20"high x 40" long x 20" wide i need this for 2 Fi BTL N2 15's if anyone could help me out i would aprriciate it thank you

Hey guys it's been a while since I've posted on here and I just wanted to know what yall think. I've got a 2nd generation BTL and I'm thinking about selling it and upgrading. Which would be louder 2 BTL's or 4 X's both scenarios would be 15's? I know the more the surface area the louder but would the power make any difference in the application. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Hello I have a jeep srt8 with two rockford fosgate 1500.1 bcd's and four rockford p3 15s in a custom box tuned to 35 hertz. I want louder now. I've been hearing alot about the fi subs. I wanna keep my amps but get four fighteens that will do great with my amps. Both amps comined will do 3900 watts rms. I've been looming at the fi bl line. They are rated at 1000 watts rms 2000 peak. So if I had four Of them they would be 4000 watts rms , I would only be shorting them 100 watts. My question is can these amps slam the bl pretty hard and can I use my same enclosures I have now with 12 cubic ft and , 6.1 per chamber for two subs on each side and tuned to 35 hz. Basically each…

Two Rockford 1500.1bdcp and four fi bl 15s dual 1ohm, with these amps can they pound the bl pretty hard. If I build a custom box for my jeep srt8 will it be loud as hell breath taking, head ache bass. And can anybody help me with box dimensions , cubic ft, airspace in chambers, port size and wat to tune to.

Hi all, I was curious, has the topic ever come up on here about running one of the Fi dual voice coil subs with only one voice coil connected? I was reading through a forum post on the12volt.com about how it should not damage a subwoofer if the loss of heat dissipation is accounted for by running at a lower power level. Obviously it is better to run both coils whenever possible, but it might be useful to run single coil if someone were stuck in a non-ideal amp setup. the12volt thread What % of RMS power would be acceptable to send to a dvc sub in single coil configuration? Thanks

I have an older RE HC 15 with the 4 spoke basket dual 2 ohm version and need a re cone kit for it, it final blew about 2 weeks ago. I have been trying to to contact Fi via email with no response. Was wondering if anyone knew which recone kit on their web site is the correct one and will fit on the HC motor and wanted to get it upgrade if possible and add a need basket as well? Can anyone help me ?

will a 4 cu ft box all one chamber tuned at 32hz be ok for 2 12 Fi Q? or do the chambers need to be seperate for each speaker? thanks

Hello Im building a box soon for a Fi BTL N2 15, and its going in a honda accord. But im tired of thinking that all the sound is in the trunk, so i was planning on removing the backseats, and build the box so the sub and the port would point forwards. (So the sub and port would be right behind where the seatback's should have been and the box inside the trunk. (kinda like this: What do you guys think? Would i get more sound pressure in the front seats this way? Or would it be better with the sub in the trunk and maybe port up the parcel shelf? Any ideas what would give me most pressure in the frontseats? Thanks alot

Im looking at buying a Fi BL 15, im going to run it off a 1700 rms amp. i dont know what opions should i get. i was looking at the 4" coil. i think that makes it 1500 watts rms i heard but im still undecided. little more opinons would be helpful.

ok so i have built alot of enclosures in my day but it has been about 4 years or so I have a mx15 in my truck right now with a 6" round port and its tuned to 32 hz sounds great i am super happy with it ok now onto the project I am helping a friend design a box for his car and a wedge style box is optimal to save the limited space that he has I will be using a BL12 and we will be making a ported box for it but the standard slot port wont work well for his application so we are opting towards a round port now here is where the issue arises I am unsure what size port i should be running single 6" or single 4" or possibly something else the enclosure we r shooting for is a f…
