Fi Technical

Ok I'm picking between the lanzer opti 2000 or 1400. Based on the specs at a 1ohm load with the 2000 I would be getting around 1600 watts "give or take" running to the sub right? With the 1400 the max is about 1300 but I would expect like 1000 or a little around 1000 like 900 something at 1ohm. Which one would u guys pick between the 2? Just for reminder I have the Fi Q 15 with bp option Man reason I'm asking is I don't wanna over power my sub.

I am buying a 3hp motor from TC sounds, I would like to know if FI can recone it. If so, what are my options or what can I recone it to? I know/think that the 12 spoke baskets FI sells will fit this motor, so I am definatly ordering one of those. But, which recon kit should I go with, I want to recone to a 15" and I would like DVC 1 ohm coils, I will be running this 15" off a Kicker Kx 2500.1 at 2 ohms, so what options will I need on the recone kit for the hybrid sub to handle 2500 watts? I know I want the daily option and whatever its going to take to handle my amp as far as the coils go. I really would like a BL recone kit, not interested in the BTL but if its cheaper t…

I already have 1 BL 12 with a sundown 1500d on it now, i was going to sale it and just get some 18s or whatever. Now if I go ahead and just get another BL 12 with same options I have now which are D2, cooling, and flatwind, and run them to a pair of strapped 1500d's they should be fine with that power? I figured they would be ok, since already have 1500 watts on 1. thanks.

the actual diameter of the BL 18? need to see how im going to have to design my box

not trying to be a pain but are the specs going to be posted anytime soon.i know the specs say they are a sealed sub but everyone knows how well they perform ported now they have been out for a while.

What size ports are you guys using for your Q's? I'm building a custom fiberglass enclosure for my standard cab and i need some info on what people saw was the best result. I will be using round ports. To sum it up, what size diameter,length port do i need to not have port noise and have excellent sound. I was going to build it exactly to 2.5 cuft with displacement and port. Should i make the enclosure smaller? what are peoples views on this-Thanks

Hey everyone...I need some help.... I have a 94 Camry wagon and I want to put a Box for 2 18" Btls....I included links to the pics of my car and the dimensions inside are: 37" wide 28" high 37" length (with rear seats up) -or- 69" length (with rear seats down) ... also I know nothin about building boxes so, where would I go to have the box(s) built???....ported Im sure, and what amp(s) should I get to power these daily monsters??? your help is greatly appreciated thnks Freddy http://s453.photobucket.com/albums/qq252/D...nt=PIC-0044.jpg http://s453.photobucket.com/albums/qq252/D...=PIC-0045-1.jpg http://s453.photobucket.com/albums/qq252/D...nt=PIC-0…

Is 2000 watts enough power for a Fi Q 18? Also I was wondering what would be better in my Dodge Ram Quad cab, its going to be inside the cab. 2 Fi Q 12's in a sealed box with 1.2 cubic ft per chamber or 1 Fi Q 18 in a sealed box with 5 cubic feet Thanks

Hey guys Im going to build a new box for my 18" Q. I have 6.7cu. ft. before disp. and port.. which I know is small, which is why I need to use aero's. Right now I have 4x 4"x10" aero ports. can someone give me recommendations. Do I need to get 6" ports?? I know for port area that 2 of these 4" aero's isnt enough, but I think if I go to 3, mine are to short... Can I use the flares, and use PVC pipe to make them longer??

K, now I know what you are all going to say, BUT before you do please give this a read. I have a pair of BTL 15's (D2) that I am planning on running with a pair of SAZ-3000D's I know the box recommendation is 3-5ft^3, with the power, would I be better off staying on the smaller side? I know when you start going bigger the mechanical ability sub goes down, but the trade off is more forcefull bottom end (which I would like to have). I'm planning to have between 6-8ft^3 net enclosure tuned fairly low around 30-32hz Just curious as to what you guys think about my ideas

Ok guys I need a little input on a few things. First off, I was running two FI Q 15's off of a 40.1 @ 1 ohm in a 8cuft box ported to 28hz and blew one to hell and the other one's coil is burnt like a motha... So I was thinking of going with either one 18 BTL or two 15 BTL's off of the 40.1 @ 1 ohm. What do you think? Either setup will be tuned to 32hz. I was planning on modifying the current box if I go the 15 route, but if I go with the 18, the box will be around 7.5~8 cuft tuned to 32hz. This will be a daily driver setup.

You guys must be busy...I sent a few emails and all I get is a message saying something about email delays...o well I guess I will have to wait a couple more weeks to knwo when my subs will be shipped back to me.

I am looking at building a new box and I can't seem to make up my mind on 2.5 or 3 cubes. I also keep going back and forth on what tuning to go with 32? 34 any experienced btl owners out there have any advice??

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.

Hey guys i have a couple of questions, i got a saz1500d, and i am going to be ordering a 15q, should i run the sub at 2 ohms (800watts rms) or 1 ohm (1500rms)? Right now i only have 4 ga running to the back, will that be okay if i run it at 1ohms or should i stick with 2 ohms, I am going to run the most likely sealed in a 2.5 cu ft box. i have a 09 toyota corolla, not that much trunk space, or will it sound better in a 3 cu ft box ported? If you guys have any other helpful tips please let me know. Thanks

i bought 2 12" Bl's from a guy here in chicago for cheap....i really did want the Bl's at first but after thinkin about it, i want somethin thats got good sound quality and solid, pounding bass as well. i know the Bl's pound pretty hard and are basicly designed for spl but are they okay in sq? i have never really heard what a q sounds like in comparison to the bl. im not a stickler for amazing sound quality, but i want something thats kind of clear but can still scare people when they hear it and have some flex. my final system isnt going in until next summer so i have time to "decide". of course after i buy the Bl's i ask this question. and if any of that doesnt make se…

Hey finally making some progress and decided to get the Q instead of BTL which will be here on the 3rd. Just wondering whats a good amp to power it at around 1000w-1500w at a 2ohm load. Also what are some good .5ohm stable amps out there and about how many watts would I be looking at running it at .5 instead of 2ohm Plan on going with around a 3cu ported box tuned at around 32hz to go in a 03 honda civic coupe. (If this information helps)

hey there guys i am looking for a box design. i need it between 4.5 and 5 cubes. either sub in center or on side. i want it to have interchangeable ports with tuning at 32, 38, 44 if its possible. i have money if anyone of you guys on here can design me a box for my 15" btl that would be great. i will get my max measurements up later today.

currently i have a 12" BL in a 2.5 cuft enclosure tuned to 32hz. it is being powered by a "1600" watt hifonics amp (soon to be a sundown saz-1500d). i LOVE how the sub takes on the task of playing songs such as hypnotize, white girl, etc... however when i slap in a cd of something other than rap... there is little bass, if any at all. would changing what my enclosure is tuned to give more response on kickdrums and the like? what i am looking for is something in between the notes in rap and the notes from kickdrums,etc... from other genres. thanks in advance for any all and suggestions

What kind of wood do i use for my box. Somone told me partacile wood

everyone has proclaimed the Fi as the sub to own im wondering if there are any build pics that you can release to the public i.e. ( showing the differance between Q/Bl/Btl/Btl^ loadded ) motors, spiders, coils, and how the back plates are put together etc etc etc i like the way they look just curious

Im planning on purchasing a single 12" SSD not sure what to get DVC1 or DVC2, i have a 08 ZX 750.1 kicker mono (2ohm stable). Now for the axcual question i listen to rap/hip hop, trance, and alternative rock and i have no clue what so ever on the enclosure that i need to use for the type of music i listen to. I have no idea on tuning ports. I would really appriciate if poeple could help me out to get what im supposed to use. Im looking to get a ported enclosure and this will be used in a Blazer(SUV). BTW how many cubic feet would be good for the sub. Im not looking into getting a humungous box in my cargo area. THNX

Ok i'm going to be building a box for a Bl 15 4.0^3ft @32hz. And I was wondering where would be the best place to mount the speaker in the box. Its going to be a slot ported box. Should i have it closer to the edge of the port or the other end of the enclosure? What about the top? I hope this isnt to confusing. I just want to know if there is an optimal position for the sub on the box.

HI. How many costs RECON to BTL + shipment? How long are they waiting for RECON? How to order RECONKIT quickly from the FIcaraudio company? I sent 3 messages Email to the [email protected] address and silence. Nobody is answering please help my BTLs 18" ; Ohm: dual 2 P_Chamfer: no Cooling: yes HiXmCoil: yes Daily_or_SPL: Daily Induct_Heat_Ring: yes Universal: yes

i already got the amp, would 1 saz1500d be enough for 2 BL 18s until i can sell the 1500d to get a 3000d?
