Fi Technical

Hey i was wondering if you guys could recone a Rockford Fosgate HE? I cant find any recone kits.

i emailed Fi SIX months ago askin about gettin a recone, and well im still waitin for a reply. i think i sent a email to nick, but cant remember. who else can i get ahold of to get a recone?

I ordered a dual 2 recone for my IB3 and had to ask for a second set of terminal connectors since it was SVC before. I received the recone, but no terminal connectors... I assume I have to wait to finish the recone till I get a second set?

Hey i blew my speaker and i been sending FI emails and myspacing them, but i haven't heard anything from them. Anyone know how to go about sending my speaker to them, or how to get in touch with them, like a phone number, or something.

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

will the 3500d be enough for 2 btl?

So the single 4 ohm IB3 is 4 layer, and the single 2 ohm coil is 2 layer. I ordered a custom dual 2, will it be 2 or 4 layer? Or 8 Or 1

Would a the US Amp MD 2D be enough for 2 10" SSDs with the copper coil? The does the amp really produce 1500 watts at 1 ohm? Or is it overrated?

since some of you knows very well this product i though it might be a good thing to ask before making a choice... i got a btl 12 that will run on a soundstream tarantula trx2000d... ive done the big 3 and im wondering how to maintain a constant 14.4 load to my amp?? plus a need a box desing. im gonna be using this sub daily for mostly hip hop and got a mazda protege 1999 with enough space in the trunk . i also heard that a square box aint the best option since the sound produced by the woofer would hit the back panel then bounce back troughout the cone area and produce distortion(by the way sorry for my english im french) is it true???? and thats about it thanks for you…

Other than thiele small params and the small pics, it's hard to know all of the differences.... the Q has a smaller pole vent? larger magnets? The single 2 ohm IB3 is a 2 layer coil, the Q is 4 layer. The Q's Fs isn't much higher than the IB3's and the motor doesn't seem tooo much bigger.... IF I had the extra $$$ at the time I would have gotten a Q because it would have been much better for my application, I could have gotten the dual 1 ohm coils and ran my Lanzar OPTI2000D at .5 ohm and everything would have been GREAT. But I only had enough for the IB3, and so I let the lower Fs and higher Xmax ease my mind about doing what i had to do. If I could go back in time, I k…

I have 1 15 BTL Fully loaded, i was playing it today and it started smoking then went out. I have it on a Orion Hcca 5000, the gain was not up it was below half way, i wasn't playing it for a long time, i don't know what could be the problem. I have heard that Orion amps are hard to tune, i dont kno what the HPF ,and the LPF is suppose to be set to could someone help me.

After speaker displacement I have 2.46 cu ft, I need to figure the port for tuning to 32 hz (recommended by Fi) I was looking at about 28 sq in of port, how long would the port be ? Do I need more port area ? If so what would recommend ? My enclosure is 43w x 14h x 7.5d(combination of top and bottom divided x 2). Thank you for all your help.

I have a 04 Ford Expedition, i have built a enclosure behind the 3rd row seat, what i have is 2.46 cu ft, I would prefer a sealed enclosure, I know this is large for sealed, but i can shrink it if needed, my question is: should i go smaller ? It is powered by a Crossfire VR 1000d, I listen to mostly music like: Slayer, Exodus, I also listen to alot of classic rock, metal, punk, etc...ever so often I will play a few bass cd's I have from the days I did dB Drag shows. Thank you for your help.

What would be good for getting the most volume out of my 10" Fi Q. I want it to go ported for some more output, and it'll be running off of a MD1D at 1 ohm (1200 rms). Thanks a bunch

:bigclap: hi I am new here and I wanto to know How I cant buy a FI speaker. I need to aknow a telephone number thanks my email is [email protected]

Hey guys, my enclosure is nearly finished. The specs are.... It's 3.97 cubes before displacement, so I am guessing around 3.5 after due to the sub displacement and the bracing. The box is tuned around 33hz. I've tryed it in my friends vehicle and it pounds pretty hard. Not 100% happy yet. I'm thinking that's just because it's not broken in yet. I heard it in a Ford Expedtion, but the sub will be going in a 96 Cutlass Supreme. Hopefully it will get much louder. I'm powering it with a JL 1000/1. But what I'm wanting to know is are those good specs for the box? That's about the biggest box I could fit in the trunk. Help would be appreciated!

The ssd 15" does 21 mm xmax. How did you guys get 27 out of the Q15" with only 200 more rms? Also will it be alot louder then the ssd 15"? Its going in a ported enclosure.

I had the Q in my car hooked on a bxi2006d @ 1 ohm. Never really pushing it tough. Never ever smell the coil either. Now i change my car setup and decide that this sub would fit nicely in my home audio setup. so the big sealed 7ft/cu net box is now in my room. It is hooked up on a getho amplifier setup with a 22amp rail psu and a ma 1889i amp @ 1ohm. getting around 240watt max with the psu capacity well, the other day i realize a kind of rattling like noise with the sub playing at extremly low volume. At first i tough it was something on the wall rattling but then i realize by putting my ear next to the cone that the sound was coming of the sub. I've been using the same e…

Hi i was wondering if you guys could make a recone for these subs. #1 AudioQue HDC3 15 #2 DC SOUNDS Level 4 15 Both dual 2's What soft parts will be used and how much? You can post here, PM or email me [email protected] thanks in advance.

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!!!!!!

I have just purchased 2 15" BTL Fully loaded. They are on 2 mmats 2100.1. I just got them and they SLAM!!!!! I am seriously and deleriously happy BUT I know I could be happier. My box is very small for these subs and I drive a big car (Crown Vic) so I know a new box is a good idea. My current box dimensions are 48" Width 17" Height 17" Depth, measured OD......Port is 4.5" wide divided with .5" 15" deep 15" height, measured ID. This car is CLEAN CLEAN so with that in mind I don't want to go tearing it apart...totally. I dont mind ripping out the metal behind the seat or cutting the rear deck. Here is my goal: I want this system to BANG and does already but my trunk sounds…

I am going to build (or have built) a 1.88 cu.ft. enclosure tuned to 32hz for a 12" Fi BL. I want to put a round port in the box or multiple round ports or even a triangle port. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the port? I know there are tons of calculators out there but i don't know how to take in account port noise and all that fun stuff. I don't know whether to put one port or multiple or anything. Thanks in advance!

Never mounted an amplifier right next to a woofer before, so it i tried it. Currently I have two 15" Fi Q's mounted invertedly behind the back seat of my car. There was just enough room to mount the p450.4 in between the magnets of the Q's, which positioned the amp perfectly at the reach through in the back seat. Doesn't seem to affect any perfomance aspect of the amplifier, so I guess all is good there, maybe i got lucky, or maybe i'm just sketchin. Next item of business though, What about mounting batteries too close to woofers? Does it matter? Talking kinetiks here too, not some cheap lead acid. I wouldn't see why this would be a problem, but I learn new things al…

Well , finally got them in for recone. I had the pair ported on 1000w total and it was pretty good. I am going sealed now with 1000w on each woofer. (Zapco Studio 500 on each 4 ohm mono) So I see Nick really like the 1.1 sealed and other like the sealed in the 1 cu. Ft. range. My concern is for such a small box is that its not playing deep enough. I was leaning toward a slight larger, maybe 1.3 cu ft or so after displacement I would like to hear anything anyone has to say. Beat me up a little.

alright im dead set on the 12" SSD and then i heard this for a review... "i hated my ssd's my two 10 d6's will beat the piss out of them all day long(the ssd's were 12's). I've had a D6 12 as well and it sounded better than the ssd's. I will never buy and FI product again. One of my woofers was DOA when I get it. Then I had to pay to send it back then pay for the repairs and to ship it back. Then the woofer worked for like 2 weeks and the same problem happened AGAIN! So I threw them away. I was never impressed by the subs they were just mediocre. They sounded alright but there was some notes they didn't get and they didn't dig very low at all. I had about 750 going to ea…
