Fi Technical

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Without going over my windows and taking the whole back up, i have 40" D x 46" W x 22" H, which is 11.8 cubes gross, will that be enough for 2 BL 18's? It says to use 5-10 cubes each, thats a wide range, i guess depending on power to them mostly. I will be running 2 saz1500d's strapped to them. I have more room than that if needed, just want to leave a little space for batteries and amps.

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.

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)

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

Ok so i dont have much room in my car (well is a van lol) i have like 17" form my very back seat to the back window. Is that enough room for 2 15"s? I can move the seat forward like 7-8 inches if not more then i would have to take out the middle seat i would do that if its nessacery. So i will take pictures soon and post them so you guys can help me out tell me what to do. Im kinda new at this stuff so be nice. Lol

Hey, I've got a MA Audio HK12X2 that is in need of a recone, I burped it once in '04 finals (it was it's first and las burp) it's been sitting since. The recone will need to be for spl Application, 3" VC 3/16-1/4" gap I'd appreciate any info. Thanks

The car is a 2001 chevy blazer(SUV). I dont want to take up my whole cargo space for this single subwoofer. I dont know wheather to go with sealed or ported, what would be the pros and cons. Would anyone know an estimated demension size(hight,width,dept) i would be expecting to get with either ported or sealed. THNX alot

How much power should i put on a BTL 18 if i plan on running it for fairly decent lengths of time, 15-30min, at high volume. Is 4.5kw too much for that kinda usage... It'll be in a rather tight ported box

I have a 15" Soundsplinter RL-p thats in need of a recone. Sub works fine, just the cone is starting to seperate from the surround. Tryed CA glue and it worked well for a while, but its coming lose again. I was wondering if a recone was possible for this sub. BTW, I sent a email to Nick a few weeks ago, but didnt get a response, so I decided to make this thread to possible get a solution. Thanks.

Thinking about switching up from my 15 BTL to 2 Qs 15... Would I see any huge difference in loudness... I mean the BTL is god awful loud but I'm always wondering. Trying to figure how to fit everything back there the two dekas, 2 1500ds and a 100.4. Thinkin 7 cubes @ 30 hz.

I was wondering if I can run my friend's Fi Q in my box that is 4.5 cu ft tuned 32? It has BP option, and I would be running about 1000 watts to it. Would the sub be fine as long as I am responsible?

Need them in dual .7 Shipped to 32765 - Oviedo, FL

Ok I read the options page and I understand it pretty well. My question is I know I need to get one of the cooling options on the sub but which one? The sub will be used for daily. If I go with cooling, the strength of the motor will be reduced but if I g with just teh p/chamfer option, will it be enough to keep things under control? I really don't want to loose any structural integrity inside the motor if I don't have to. And the inner heat sink? I don't quite understand that one what is it for, and do I need it? So the options that I think I need are: p/chamfer, hi xmax coil, daily, universal? Would these options be what Ineed for daily 2k+ rms? thanks

i need 2 mt recone kits for my 15's i will also need the glue and i would like to have them dual 2 ohm plus i would like to have the fi dust cone can any one help me out with this i need to order these asap no response on web site
