Fi Technical

I want to build a console box in my single cab truck and im trying to see which would be the best. Setup 1: 2 Fi X 12 D4's ported Setup 2: 3 Fi X 12 D4's sealed Setup 3: 2 Re SE 10 D4's ported or sealed Setup 4: 2 Fi SSD 10 D1's ported or sealed Only reason im considering Setup 3 because I can save about 80 dollars on the subs over Setup 4. And im trying to be louder than a buddy of mine with one RE SX/BL 12 Hybrid ported as a console box.

What size and how many aeroports should I use? I'm thinking 3x6" ports for ~85sqin? Is this about right?

DO SSD 15 WORK SEALED I HAVE2 AND I WANT 2 GO SEALED HAS ANYONE TRIED THEM IN A SEALED ENCLOSURE YET? WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD AMP FOR THE PAIR

can possibly pull this off? i have a 1975 caprice with a HUUUGE trunk

Hi, Subs are 2 FI ssd 12 D2 BP Power . I know they are recomended for a 1.8 to 2.5cf box, Due to the room available I can only go up to 3.17cf after displacement and bracing with 50sqin of port. tuned to 33.5hz? Do they perform well in smaller than recomended enclosures? will be running about 2.5krms to them Thanks

Hello guys! I am new to the forum, but recently got back into the swing of car audio. After 10 years of not having any bass I'm ready for my new build. Right now I have a basic setup in my 2011 Toyota Corolla S Kenwood KDC-X596 H/U Alpine Type R SPR-60C Components up front Alpine Type R SPR-69 6x9's in the back Hifonics GLX 100.4 running mids and highs Hifonics X1000.1 running the sub I'm going to pick up an SSD 12'' and run it ported. My question is this..... I have worked a lot trying to figure out the appropriate dimension in order to obtain 2.25 cu ft of internal space after sub and port displacement tuned to 33Hz. Each program gives me a little bit different nu…

I've decided on the 2 12" ssd's. Really excited for it! NOW..... the box Ive always wanted to try an aeroport so i can adjust tuning and uses less space. But heres the catch. I dont know what to do lol. The box dimensions im looking at are: Height: 15.5" Width: 31" Depth: 16" According to RE calculator (which i know is off a bit) is about 3.5 cubes with no port. With those dimensions above or similiar, what aeroport do i get!? where do i put it on the box? I want it to be tuned to 32-33 hz thnx guys !!!

whatup folks. i am going to run a second battery in my car i know that 0gauge is the best but can i get away with 2gauge? i already have the whole car wired with phoenix gold pos and neg 2 gauge. would hate to have to buy all new wire if i dont have too. i am only running us amps 400, and esxq404 four channel amp with soon to be ssd 12's with copper coils. im thinking this would be okay but im not sure never ran two batteries before. sorry for all these questions but i m just now realizing that as loud as my systems have been i could get more out of them since ive found forums like this to help. thanks for any help you guys can give.

So i am about about to add another BL to the trunk the both will be dual 2's, daily, P Chamfer, and univeral features.. Im looking at sundown audio for my amp. Which model should i go with? any reccomendations, sundown or any other brands?

Have any of you used an SSD 10 for home subwoofer use and does it work well. I have a high quality 2 channel stereo system at home and use a subwoofer to fill in the bottom end. My present sub has an RE Audio SR10 dual 2 ohm driver and a 500 watt rms amplifier. I am wondering if I would get an improvement by using a Fi SSD 10 dual 2 ohm driver. It would be used in a sealed enclosure to get best quality bass and be the high QTS version. Any opinions would be welcome. I am a bit confused about cabinet size as I keep seeing different optimum box sizes quoted, ideally I would like to know what the HQTS actually is so that I can model it in WIN ISD. I assume all other T&S …

Here is the Max Dimensions im working with Height 1 18.5" Height 2 23" Depth 17.5" Width 38.5" 2 15" Q's I figured out if I got with 65 square inch of port (which is only 10.8 per cube) I would have 5.6 cubes internal volume @ 32hz will this be alot louder than 5.2 cubes sealed? I could go with external ports and make it something like 5.8 cubes maybe, Box will be gettin done next week and I'm freaking out cause I want it to be loud Do you think sealed these two 15's will still be alot louder than my old 2 12's Kicker CVX's in a 3 cube ported to about 34hz? I'm gettin a headache just thinking about it

Since the board was wiped out not many old posts to search through. Joining the FI ranks and picking up a 15" Q for the GF's car. Trunk space is important to her so I'm looking at doing: 2.8 -3.0^3 @ 31Hz. Sub will be getting around 1000rms off a PG amp. She listens to most anything but country, so I'm looking for an all around good sounding/respectably loud set up. The few posts I've found most guys are using around 3.5^3, so anyone have experience with this sub in the smallest recommended size of 2.8^3? TIA...Mike

IAM LOOKING AT BUYING SOME FI AUDIO SUBS 18'S I WILL BE GETTING BUT IAM HAVING A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT WHAT WOULD BE LOUDER 2 SSD 18 INCHFI SUBS OR 1 BTL FULLY LOADED ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD HELP ME THANKS!!! ill be using kintek batterys in a ported box in a crown victoria what iam looking for is for people to hear me far away as well as shakeing the hell out of my car lol which do u think would be best 2 18ssd or the blt loaded18

I want to get a btl 12" dual 2 for my gp3000d pro amp. I just don't know if it is recommended to get the 3rd magnet and HiXMcoil options. please help asap. thanks!

How do you guys go about breaking your sub in? Do you let it break itself in overtime or do you play a nice tone to help exercise its suspension? Well I should be receiving my 15" full loaded BL today and I can't wait till I get home to get it so im looking to exercise the suspension so that it can be broken in for the weekends upcoming local comp event.

Hey, just wondering if anybody has had good results with an 18" SSD in a sealed box?

I know no one probably knows really for the 09 lineup but would the BL 15 really get THAT much louder than the 12 if they were both fully loaded? Or would it be a noticeable difference? I want to know if it's worth waiting however much longer for the 15, or if i should just order the fudgeing 12 cuz im sick of waiting lol.

I have two Fi X 12's and the tensil leads slap really bad. I have about 450watts on each.. i know the RMS is 300 watts.. but the sub is still putting out clean sound other than the leads... i noticed that the tensil's aren't aligned with the pad on the back of the cone. if i were to relocate the pads do you think this would solve the problem? THANKS

I am looking at getting a 10" Q. Would a Crunch GP2250 be a good choice of amp if I got the dual 2 ohm? I would bridge the amp and wire the sub at 4ohm. If I'm not mistaken then that would be 1000w rms, right?

i came up on a deal. both subs are 15" BL's, both have cooling, flatwind, and the daily option. 1 however has extreme leads, and the other has regular leads. will this cause problems between the drivers or is it ok to run them together? i know the extremem leads can cause slapping, but is that the only downfall?

I am truly worried about this since I am eager to get a X10 or X12 and it has to deal with power issues. I have an Arc Audio XXD 2080 and it des 240 x 1 @ 4 ohms when bridged. I truly have been wanting to get a Fi Audio sub since three years ago but would like to know would the amp and the X10 or X12 would work together hand in hand or would it be a total flop?

Just a quick question, I planning on buying a 12" Q w/BP and I need to build an enclosure, going sealed. With dimensions of 19w 13h 11d, do I need to add int bracing? I was thinking just a strip of 2x2 along the top, back, and bottom. If it doesn't need bracing I can just make the box a little smaller to give the same volume Thanks, Chris

ok so heres the deal. I currently have a 12" btl in a 2.25 @ 32 enclosure being run off a crunch gp3000pro. It is loud don't get me wrong, but of course I am always looking for a little more. So I am thinking of building a new enclosure for it and I am just looking for ideas. Thought about tuning to around 35, but not sure if it would be worth it or not. This is the first single sub set up I have had so maybe I am just setting my expectations to high, i dunno. I figure I might as well try a new enclosure before I jump into a whole new set up, so any suggestions are welcome!

So my parents are not goin to let me put my new fi btl 18 fully loaded in the cab of my truck. i want to know if run the port into the cab if it will have close to the same output. It is a 7.97 ft3 box at 30 hz. I know it wont b as loud but how much will it effect it.

i have 2 15 qs and i was planning on putting them in a 08 honda accord, any suggestions on whut box to throw them in, ported?sealed? really not sure on whut direction to go with this
