Fi Technical

Hey guys i have a 2009 silverado crew cab. i asked a few weeks ago how to get more bass out of my truck a few of you guys suggested raising my seats to accomadate larger subs and enclosure. that being said i raised my seats 4 inches. i now 3.8 cubes before any displacments. my questions are im looking for the best spl but i dont think ill have enough space for two 12 btls if i port the box. the box is 55 inches long and a port is gonna take too much space. the subs will be firing down into fatmat so i dont think im gonna hear much "music" out of them. any suggestions? thanks

I have a blown Pioneer Premier w3002 D2 and I wanted to know , could I get a recone for this sub with Fi parts. Its 1000rms.

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 have two MA XL15s that I want to recone. how do I go about doing that. Must I ship the subs to FI? here is a picture of the sub in case people don't remember them

Is it possible to order just a recone kit and diy? If so what are the prices on 12" and 15" BTL's anyone know? Also is there a way to contact Fi directly other than e-mail like a phone number?

SO my buddy just picked up 5 diamond cm310d4's but two of them need to be reconed so i got a couple of q's 1. can you guys make up the recones an ship them out or would they have to be done inhouse? 2. what does he need to give you as far as messurements? (if recone is shiped) 3.would he also have to order new baskets since his are a stamped 8 spoke? 4.what would the price be on each one? (would it be cheaper to do all 5 at once) thanks for your help

So I'll be running my SSA Zcon 12" on 3k for now until I get around to purchasing a recone for an sp4 motor I got in a trade. My problem is..I have a trunk car and limitations on box sizes. Depth and height are a problem for me. I have come to the conclusion that the biggest I can fit is an L port enclosure about 3.9-4 cubes. If I give it about 4 inches of port and still have net, will this enclosure server well to the sp4? I'll be running 3k @ the sp4. If not recommend what you all have experimented with.

(1) sp4 18 vs (2) bl 15's Going to be run most likely by a hifonics Brutus 2400.1 amp with custom box. Will be used as a daily driver and I listen to mostly rap I'm just curious to hear some input. It's going to be in a Toyota camry so a closed trunk if that makes any difference to anyone. Thanks

Hi guys, I used the cut sheets for the fi btl 12 inch before. Was wondering if anyone has any cutsheet for 15" sp4 in sealed enclosure. Just for daily setup powered of a saz 2500d.

Im going to try and be brief.. since I'm at work. (One of the very few sites I have access to!) I used WinISD to play with output numbers. Of those, I valued port velocity::frequency ratio. And I tried to configure a flat response bandwidth while keeping my desired tuniing @ 29hz. Quick specs: 1. Its a trunk build ( 4 door camry) 2. substage amp VFL 150.1 3. Rear firing design // 15" SP4 with electrical to boot. 306A - 274A alt (Hot). 306A Peak (cold) . 178A Hot @ idle I can post more details on Port volume later, I left the last dimension of port length at home. But what your seeing is port depth 17.25, height 15.5, length is somewhere between 26.xx to 28.xx. I cant …

Okay, so I guess the way the cooling is designed or the motor or something is causing loud air noise around the motor that is very audiable when the thing is invert mounted. There should be some kinda warning about this, as my whole install is based around the idea of an inverted driver. fml.

Hey guys, Im really hoping someone can help me out with this..i purchased a sp4 about 2 months ago,but recently put it in my car 3 days ago as i was waiting until i had everything i needed to run my setup properly.. amp gain was set with an o-scope so no clipping and also radio was under point of clipping also. (amp -sundown saz 3000,cd player pioneer avh-4300, all 0 guage wire (monster) and a 270 amp alt from dc power..and some deka d31 batts.I pulled up home and after i turned off my car i noticed a smell comiing from my trunk and opened it and heard what sounded like flames burning. there was a lot of smoke coming from my port and it would not stop so i hurried to pul…

how do i get the spider off the basket? ive been sitting here for 40 min with a razor and all ive managed to do is remove a 1/2" section and cut into the aluminum basket.

What is the cabinet size for a Fi SSD 10 high QTS version

I was looking at the video on the Technical forum and it said everything is explained on the Technical forum in great detail, but I didn't see anything except that video and I didn't want to skim through and try to find where they mention High Qts. Basically, I have a truck and I can fit 6" mounting depth subwoofers in my sealed box. The Fi SSD 10 already requires the low space of .2-.6 cubes so what exactly does the High Qts option do?

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 …

The SSD is a great sub... The SSD is currently being powered by a SAZ-1500d on my stock electrical along with my beautiful Pioneer 860mp as the captain of the ship Anywho When I first purcahsed the sub I only had a 4.5 cu ft ported enclosure for its home and well lets say it was a great experience to say the least. 4.5 cu ft review: 4.5 cu ft enclosure didn't really provide the SQ that I was looking for but it was loud and allowed it to produce a substantial amount of spl. Very noticable to the point it would tickle my ears and this is one sub mind you had friends that rode in my car think I had 2 subs. I enjoyed the 4.5 cu ft enclosure but due to me having copper coil…

I was originally talking to Scott about a Q 18 in my h/t setup, but I have a chance to get a used SSD 15 instead. It needs reconed, so I was just wondering about the best coil for the recone, and a few questions. I was planning on asking for the copper coils with the recone, but I was just wondering if it would be best with my setup. I was goin to use one of the following plate amps with it, so around 500rms at 4 ohms. Bash 500 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=300-752 Dayton 500 http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=300-806 At the moment I'm leaning more towards the Dayton, but I wasn't sure if it was worth the price difference. Also cou…

So I got 3 15 in dual 2s wired in series tuned to 33hz on an audiopipe 30001d amp isn't turned up a little under half no clipping and as normal subs gets a little warm never hot enough to where u can smell the coils burning up. Now my issue i ran into today Is I was listening to them going to lunch with no problems and shut the truck off and came back out and just turned system on and how I can describe it is one of the subs instantly started to make a distorted rattling noise... kinda sounds like the sub is farting all lower frequency but not noticeable at higher frequencys. I pulled speaker out and the coils dont have any noticeable scratching or rubbing.. Now I'm just …

Hey I ordered a SSD 15 with both BP Power and Flatwound coils that I am going to be pushing 1000 watts through with a Rockford Fosgate Prime 1000-1d amp at 2 ohms. I was wondering if the box I have planned out with the RE calculator would work with my setup. If not, some advice would be appreciated.

how much it cost to fix?

I want to make an SPL system so I`m asking what option should I set and this sub is good for spl. Sorry for my english I`m from Bulgaria.

I just ordered a FI ssd 12 inch subwoofer, a Kicker zx750.1 amp, and 4 ga wire kit. I previously built a 4.0 cu ft box out of 3/4 mdf. I was wondering if the ssd would be alright in this box. Also how long would the port need to be if using 3" dia. pvc pipe so it is tuned to 33 hz? Thanks.

i wanna run a fi ssd 18 off a us amps xt 1600.2 in my sebring.. but im not sure if i have required space for it in my trunk.. i would probly have to face the sub up and port back to make it work. what do you guys think..

I have 2 12" Fi SSD's with copper coils coming soon and I need a box for my Charger and found this. http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-Dodge-CHARGER-SUB...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Would this box be ok to use or should I have a shop make one? I also found a ported one http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=21319 I mostly listen to rap but also listen to rock, death metal, etc. if that helps
