Fi Technical

I have two BL tens and I was looking to recone them but I can't figure out if it has a flatwind coil. If it doesn't can I upgrade to it without it being a problem? How can I tell if it has one or not cuz I need it but idk if it'll work with it

About to get started on getting a box for a fi bl 15. I have the space so was thinking about 4-5 cubes as one fi page suggests 2.8-4 and another 2.8-5? want to hit lows and still have it get a little loud and don't really know 100 percent about tuning but was thinking 33 hz ? Any suggestions I appreciate or input...power is a saz 1500d v3...thanks for your time

what do you think. Will face rear of 02 grand cherokee. 1200rms amp. 6 cubes. tuned right around 33.5ish 4.5in port width 39.5in width 18in height 20.5in depth thats only gonna leave me with like .5in between port and sub, sub and sub, and other side of box. (including .75in MDF) concerns/recomendations

would anyone on here be able to help me design a badpass enclosure for 4 18" BL's. The max dimensions are 21H x 49W x 72D and i wanted to tune it to around 29-30 hz. if someone can help please let me know asap.

well as u can see i have a kicker zx1000.1 rated at 1258 watts. which i do not have installed in my car yet which is an 02' dodge stratus R/T coupe, and i think it hase either a 85amp alt or a 90 amp alt. And im also goin to be buying a 15" BL w/ the p chamfer i already have the big3 upgrade done with elemental designs 1/0 gauge wire will i have to consider on upgrading the alternator?? ive looked all over the net, and i just cannot find one for my car, so i need some help on that IF i do NEED to upgrade and wat about mabe a battey or 2?? thanks

I have an 18" btl in the mail it should be here tomorrow, I totaled my truck a few days ago that it was going to go in so now I have to put it in a 98 mitsubishi eclipse for a month or so i'm looking at making a box L34xH24xD17 wich I think is about 6.9ft cubed so I would need about 75 square inches of port. how do I tune it to 32hz?

I have a 12'' fi Q and when i got my box built the guys put a separate wire on each voice coil. Its a dual 2 ohm sub. What is the final ohm i am getting once i connect it to my amp?

Can it be sealed and sound just as good ported?

I have 2 mtx thunder 7801d amps and was wondering if that is enough power for 1 of the Bl 18's? If yes what options should I choose for the Sub? I know I'm going to need the daily option for sure, but after that I'm lost.

can anyone explain what each acronym or letter means and what option/s it represents? thanks guys.

last wee end i was playing around with my system and i was play with a cd that went 1 to 100 cycles and sweep. i thnk that i might of found my sweet spot for my explorer around 46 to 48 hz. i was look at get 2 fi sdd 18 and i as wondering would 46hz to48 hz be to high to tune a box to?

My sub sounds like ass in the box that I currently have it in. Waaaay too much port noise! I am only running a single sub right now, but I will have two Q's pretty soon. I am in desperate need of a box design to fit my needs, my parameters are as follows: (Max Dimensions Given) Depth - 15" Height - 16" Width - 34" I need the box tuned to about 32HZ. I would like to keep the chambers separate, as it might be a while before I buy the other sub. I would like to hear what the first sub sounds like before spending more money on another 1. All help would be appreciated. You can PM me on caraudio.com under Qbenjamin.

just got a blow sx 12 and the glue on the top plate gave way when i pulled the coil out, so the gap collapsed, is there anyways to realign it, if so how much. thanks

I just hooked up my brand new fi ssd 12 dual 1 ohm sub and hooked it up to a kicker zx750.1 amp and put it in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 33 hz. i turned the gain 1/2 way and bass boost to 9db. When i turn the head unit up the sub starts to smell like its burning glue or something. any ideas?

Ok I have a x 10" with single magnet structure. Svc 4 ohm. I need this sub to be a svc 2 ohm and have a small tear in surround fixed. I have emailed fi twice on this and gotten no response. Anyone know how much it would cost or anything about reconing this?

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.

I've read and read. Perhaps under the explaination of options, this could be added to the flatwinds description if it holds out to be true: Does Flatwind add power handling and excursion at the expense of sound quality?

i have 2 jl w7's 12inch, that are both froze, is it possible to recone them with FI recone kit? i was kinda new to this recone stuff sorry, if you can help me i would appreciate it, i would actually rather ship it to FI but i cant ever get ahold of anyone. thanks

Ineed a box for 1 18'' needs to be sealed.I can build one,but dont have the resources nor will my park let me.Stupid country club noise regulations.Shops only build 10s & 12s around here.Can someone help me please?

are there any differences in the 08 and the 09 BL models? i would love to add another 15 but concerned about putting two different subs in the same box, are they any different to the point where you couldnt put them together in the same box?

So my buddy has the newest version of the 12" Type R that he wants to upgrade. Here's the details, and hopefully I can give enough info. He has an ONX1.1500. He also has EQ'ing at 30, 45, 60, and I think 80hz. We'll make a ported box, but it'll need to be on the smaller side, maybe 3-3.5ft^3 net. His Type R is tuned to 33hz at ~1.5ft^3 net, I know that's not the only way to judge things, but he may want to go a bit lower on tuning frequency, maybe 28-30hz (this is in a 2000 Explorer btw, and any port frequency opinions for this sub are definitely appreciated). This dude needs a tough sub, he can be hard on stuff He wants loud, and if he goes on a trip, he may play the su…

I have two 15" SSDs with copper coils, going to be running them off of a Kicker ZX1500.1. I don't have a lot of room to work with after I reinstall the back seats of my truck and all, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience running them in a sealed enclosure? What's the smallest I can afford to run?

I think I'm gonna add another sub soonish and am hunting for an amp. My budget will be around $150 and was thinking 500 watts total. I'm going sealed. I have ~160 watts on this one now and it gets loud which is why I was gonna add another with a little more power each. Or would I be better off just getting a bigger amp on the one I have. My budget may go up some just depends on the amp. Definitely not over $200. I have 4ga wire running and will need to put an amp on fronts. I have a 4 channel now running entire system. My car is a 2011 Honda civic systems in Sig. If I'm a noob and you have questions just ask

hi i wanted to know if there is a downside to using an N2 recone on a ufo btl, because i have a friend with 2 recones and have no use for them and i needed recone. would they work?

I have a 15 inch q with bp already, and I need a second one. Just wondering if the parameters will still be close enough that they can share an enclosure and be alright. The new and the old.
