Fi Technical

Does anbody know anybody that can build a box for me and setup my system. I'm ordering 2 15" SSD Fi subs with copper coils and I'm getting a sundown 1500d amp. I have a 2006 trailblazer SS. I need it to be at least 7 cu ft. My main reson for this post is because I live in the dallas, tx area. Does anybody know anywhere I can get this done?

ive been asking/emailing for over a week now just for a price on a 10" Q recone kit. and so far nick replied telling me to ask scott and nothing from him. i understand you are busy but cant take a few minutes out of the day to email me back or reply here?

i know you guys are buisy and all but i have been trying to get information on gettin my 18'' BL either warranty or a recone because one of the voice coils only works sometimes. but i have a competition coming up in a couple weeks and i really need this sub fixed in order to get the points i need to go to state finals.

I already made one box that was 26x27.5x16 and it didnt fit in the trunk of my 94 accord I dont really have much room to work with I know 26x18x16 will work but is there any possible way I can get it tuned right? I will use aero ports or slot.

Folks, I want to try to do my first DIY subwoofer for home theater. I've heard some folks say that the SSD or Q series model well for home theater? Which driver would be best.....and what size enclosure (I can build a slot ported box) for home theater use? I would like to be able to go low....but still use for music. Edit: This will be an 18" build...... Thanks! Chris

can one of the fi owners please respond. i have 4 kicker cvx 15's (1000 watt rms). i have about 13 cubic feet of airspace. can any of ur subs outperform my current setup.i have 2 hifonics brutus (2000 watt 1 ohm). i want it to be more rumble inside the car. if so please tell me what. if not please tell me so i can keep it moving. i am kinda tired of this email stuff. i need a number or something cause i send u guys a 3 paragraph question they send u a 3 word response. come on slim. look i just need some direction. i am just tryna accept the fact that a lot of these guys are jumping out there and saying all types of stuff about fi. well can i get some direction from the ow…

Can it be sealed and sound just as good ported?

I opened my trunk this morning to find my Q15 had puked out a fairly hefty metal object and blew the dustcap off. I believe this happened listening to the sub well below tuning freq. (tuned to 30 hz. and playing "late Nite tip" by Three Six Mafia) What is this piece of metal and what purpose does it serve? You could stick your hand through the middle of the sub and this piece would have prevented that from happening. If this can be glued back in what do I use? CA glue? The sub still works but i want to fix it before playing it again. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Got my car back from the dealer service dept. and my 10" rockford T2 was fried. Rockford doesn't offer a recone and the parts distributor that they referred me to says they have a really long back order on parts. I was wondering if it's possible to do anything with it? It was a pretty decent driver, and i would hate to just throw it away if there is an alternative. thanks!

Im looking at this... for one Fi 18" BTL.... internal dimensions of: 17"H x 29.5"W x 31.5"D I subtracted .26 for speaker displacement, 1.428 for port displacement, and just guessed around .2 for bracing displacement (im mostly gonna use .75" threaded rods and some 2x2)... and I came up with a NET Volume of 7.25 cubes and the port is gonna be 17"h x 6"w x 26"d (with a total of 102 sq "/ 14.06 cubic inches each ft3) ...I came up with a 33.22 hz tune with all this..... can ya'll review these specs, and let me know if this all seems correct? I would greatly appreciate it!!! :foshizzle: thanks, john

I know that FI can recone the 3hp motors(3000's) w/ the tall top plate. Its has the 4 holes on the top plate. I know you machine adapters. My question is, instead of sending 70 lbs of motors to you to be reconed, could you just send me the recones/baskets adapters and I'll do it myself. It'll prob save a bunch of money and possible shipping damage( I don't have good luck )... Thanks, Joe. P

So I've had this Q since 2009, bought it off someone, and Im gonna order a recone for it soon because the surround got damaged, just wondering if its possibe if anyone can look at it n tell me which options it had? it was dual 2 ohm coils. Only thing i can tell is im pretty sure it didnt have the cooling option. thanks in advance

I cant decide wether to go sealed or ported with my 15" Q...I listen to mostly rap and want good sq bass but at the same time so good loud hard hitting bass...whats your guys vote?

3 weeks and no replys to email. i would realy like to get the kit. thx

Hi All, So I've had my two 12" SSDs in a sealed box, 1 cu ft chamber for each sub, for almost a year now hooked up to a Sundown 1500D. It seems like I don't get the lows like I would expect and I'd like it to be a little louder. Do you think it would help to build a ported box for these guys to see if I can squeak anything else out of them, or is it possible that these subs just don't fit my wants? Thanks.

Hi, can anyone link me to a thread that explains the change in the ~2006 to ~2010 motor that's used for the Q? I bought a Q15 back in 2007 and the motor for my new Q12 looks much different. The old motor has a double-stacked magnet setup. The searches I've done haven't come up with any info on this change.

what do i need to change on my cut list to have my box tune to 32hz? Tthis box is tune for 28 hz

Hello, I plan to build a box for my Q18's (bp option). The box will be 12ft^3 tuned to 28hz w/4 4" aero ports eash measuring 11.5" long. Each 18 will be receiving 1600w. Please tell me if my specs are ok or not. Thank you, Larry

Hey everyone i have an 05 civic coupe and i am wanting to put a 4 cubic foot box in the trunk. Does anyone know if this is possible and what dimensions i should use. I am going ported with a btl 15 n2. any enclosure help or ideas is really helpful. i am building this myself so nothing too crazy.

Just to clarify. I'm looking to run the 12" in a ported enclosure. Also I'd like mostly SQ so if anyone would elaborate, i've heared sealed is more SQ ported is louder. I like louder but I've heard ported can get the SQ with loudness. Dual 2 Ohm Cooling: Yes p chamfer: yes high qts: no spider: no I heat ring: no internal lead: ??

I am running an AQ-1200D @ .7 ohms to a 15 BL and my friend installed it yesterday and set the gain on the amp a little less than half way and when i turn the bass knob about 3/4 up and turn the volume up to like 25 out of 35 the clipping indicator on the bass knob illuminates on and off with the bass hits on some notes. its aggravating the shit out of me because I just spent alot of money and I dont want my shit to fuck up. He told me the amp could be too small for the sub or the HU is sending out bad waves to the amp. It sounds amazing, dont get me wrong. I just wanted some advice on how to get the clipping to stop. I have a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X792 head unit and it has…

okay I'm really confused right now. I have a feeling it's the cold messing with stuff but I'll seek some guidance anyways. So one day I warmed my sub up good and set the input lvl on my amp so it was all good no bottoming out or clipping or anything. I even set it with the volume a bit higher than I normally listen just to be safe. So then it gets really cold so I turn the sub woofer lvl down on my H/u. I've had it down for a bit now and as I warm it up I'll gradually turn that up along with the bass control knob. The other day I'm on my way to work (~15 min drive) and listening to my music after I had already been warming it up for a bit too. When I'm nearing work i cont…

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but, I was wondering if the Q series was universal. I have a Q10 D1 coils paired with a Sundown sae-1000D wired at 2ohms. I know that some of the subs you can change with a recone. Otherwise anyone know some magical way to get a 1ohm load on my amp haha.

I recently reconed my BTL UFO 12" with high xmax option. I used the spacers provided to space the basket .250" above the bump in the motor. I first knocked the dust cap off in a huge box I had made for my zcon. 3.1 cu ft. tuned to 32. Glued it back up and I did it again. I built a new box because I thought big box, over powering, exc. could have been the cause. Plus it didn't sound that great (anticipated) I have a box made.. 2.4 cu ft. tuned to 32. Knocked the dust cap off again today. I am using household goop to glue the dust cap. Should I go with CA? Possibility that the recone was not made to be spaced from the motor?
