Fi Technical

I've been looking for T/S perams for the FI BTL 18. Searching to no avail I need some help. The reason I need the numbers is to plug them into Termpak so I can design an enclosure for a forum buddy. Any help would be very much appreciated. I need the following: fs (in hz) Qts Vas (in cu.ft.) Xmax (in inches) znom (depends on coil config. I am aware) Pe (rms watts) Spl (in db @ 1w/1m)

Guys I want to add a 4th SP4 to my current setup and was wondering if I have enough space in the cargo area of my SUV to do it. I have the following demensions...46W x 44D x 25H.....And how much port area to get them really going with about 16k of power?

I think it's just me, but there are some random gaps if you will. I have some pictures from my slr that i'll upload in a while. Just want to make sure theres nothing bad. Thanks

I've posted one thread similar to this one once before, But I felt the need to make one a little more clear. I own a Pontiac Grand Am. One of the worst vehicles to work with when it comes to car audio installs due to very limited room. I got an idea the other day sitting in the front seat looking back at my folded down back seats. I figured.. what if I took the open area where my seats fold down leading to my trunk area, put up one peice of 3/4 or so MDF across that opening, cutting a opening in it for the 18" BTL and another for a port that's tuned to 30-35 hz and using my entire trunk area as the enclosure, without the need to build an enitre box. Since there is not eno…

I'm finally good with money, and I'm looking to turn my brahma MKII motor into the first 18" brahma MKII I know of... and of course I've known you guys were the best people to ask, specifically scott has been referred to me by marshall, black00... email me back or here, [email protected] thanks a ton for taking your time, steve

My enclosure is strangely shaped because of my spare tire, but it's 4 cubes @ 32 Hz with 58.5 sq. inches of port area. My Q15 has the BP power option and I'm powering it with a Sundown Audio SAE-1000D. My headunit has 2V pre-outs and the 1000D has a 0.2v - 6v adjustable input sensitivity, so my gain is about 3/4 of the way up. I have an Excessive Amperage 250A alternator, big three with 1/0, 1 group 65 Duralast Gold battery and 2 Kinetik HC1800 batteries wired in parallel with 1/0 gauge... Does it seem like I'm not getting a lot of excursion? "white girl" by U.S.D.A. vid 1 "hood nigga" by Gorilla Zoe vid 2 "choppin' blades" by UGK Vid 3 Vid 4 Vid 5

Ok well i built a box for an 18" Fi BL the specs are 42" wide, 22" high, and 22" deep. The port is 5 inches wide and 15.5 inches long. tuning it in the upper 31hz range. The box was like 8.3 cu ft. before woofer displacement. is that too big for a 18" BL with flatwind coil? Because the box doesn't sound good at all. and the woofer gets pretty warm on zx1000.1. I feel like its too big but i could be wrong.

all my life i have been a sealed guy, i just love the sound of a sealed setup and how low and deep they can play, so i got talked into going ported for my next system..im going with 3 18'' fi Q series, fi suggest 6-10 cu ft per sub, im thinking of going in the middle with 8 per sub, im also going to throw 800 watts at each one, what do you guys think about this? i will be using this for daily driver and i listen to both rap and rock music..so im hoping the subs can keep up with the fast beats..also 28hz sound good to you guys?

I'm gonna be putting together a daily driver system soon, and want something that pounds, has control, and sounds bad ass doing it.. I have a 2007 Trailblazer SS.... I listen to a lot of death metal, heavy metal, some alternative, some rap, and techno/electronic type music as well.. I've been kicking around the idea of three 12" Image Dynamics IDQ's, or three 12" Alpine Type R's (i know, not the same league), or even three JL 12w6v2's.... I looked at the Fi Q's, and they're nice, but a little more than I wish to spend per sub. The SSD's are a much better option. I put them in WinISD, and much to my suprise, the response is pretty much spot on with the 12w6v2.. So now,…

Since I've bought the sub,I noticed they sell a fully loaded BTL.My sub only has 2 magnets.Is my sub the 2000w rms model,and what year sub do I have.my ride

id like to know why my 4000 watt amp wont push 1 15 Bl fully loaded without blowing both my 40 amp fuses in it.

I just got my BL in the mail from Joseh K. and USPS has fucked my basket UPPPP Could this be fixed my some very careful welding? I mean what else is there to do with it.....

Well, Im planning on buying my fi btl n2 18 aroudn december, near christmas! I have an 03 nissan xterra, so im sure there is enough room for a box in there, but the problem is, i barely know anything about sound systems and their setup/ configurations. If anyone could please explain what i would need, i would appreciate it. Im getting a new double din headunit, 2 door speakers w/ tweeters, (Which i will wire to the headunit) I plan on getting the n2 18 What amp, would be best to run this at its best performance daily? I won't be going to competitions or anything. If you can please let me know a couple good options that arent super expensive, i am not on an unlimited budg…

how much it cost to fix?

im building a sealed box for my sp4 to see what it sounds like. is it as simple as just making a 23X23X22 box out of 3/4 and a couple lengths of all thread?

Im looking for some peoples opinions on what to run to my bl 12 at 2 ohms.? comments are very welcomed

So I just recently ordered a fully loaded Fi Q 15" and now I need to decide on an amplifier. I'm thinking either a Hifonics HFi2000D or a Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D. I will be running them at 1 ohm. Do you think 2400 watts rms is too much for a fully loaded Q? I think it should be okay, but I would like to hear some other opinions.

lately i been noticing a popping sound coming out of my BTL. I got it hooked up to two hifonixs bxi1606. is this normal?? have any of you guys with btls heard this before??

ok i have a major question i just payed for two of the 12" x series subs on the black "Fi"day sale so my question is are they 300w rms like the site says or really 250w rms beacause if they are 250 i will have to change my order to some different subs because i need more wattage than 250 i was hoping the 300w rms it said on the site was right and maybe even underated so i could push 700w rms through the both of them

Hello , Fi community I got my fi Q 18inch a month ago. I had some time to play with it.... hooked on a bxi2006d @1ohm Right now, it's in a 6.5 net enclosure tuned to 30hz with three 4x15 inch aeros. It hit the 35-40hz freq nicely, but i'm sure i can get more out of it. This summer, i'll be might be working on a way to use my wheel pit and get another 2ft/cu maybe. How will the increase enclosure volume help the Q, i mean in loudness and sq. I'm thinking i might get more prononced 30-40hz range, is that accurated? how much louder? is it worth the trouble fiberglassing the wheel pit??? Also, the 55-80hz range ain't loud at all, is it normal? i mean my old alpine type r we…

I know the routine in making a sealed enclosure but have a few questions before I begin.... This is the first one I am making for my 15" Q and I am getting 3/4 mdf and using 1.5" on the front where the sub is mounted. I was planning on using liquid nails to glue the boards together and then screw them- should I then caulk around the inside after that? Also when doubling up the front baffle, should I just glue and screw two pieces of 3/4 mdf together and then attach to the rest of the box and cut my sub hole in both? Any other tips, or things I forgot before I start building? Thanks guys for the help!

Hello all, first off let me say I am new to this forum, and hope to enjoy my visit here. I just recently bought a Fi SSD 15" sub, on the 16th or 17th and I realize it is probably going to take forever (or what feels like it ) to receive it, and the wait is already getting to me as I used to have Kicker CVR's and they died and so currently I have no bass! Ahh killing me hehe, so therefore I decided to take a bigger step up in the world of bass. My question is, I am in no way, any good at enclosure building, I mean I could put together a sealed box but who can't? I need a ported enclosure, and while I understand what tuning is, I have no idea mathematically how to figu…

Alright guys, so i have a dual 1 ohm q18, and i need an enclosure, the specs on the website aren't specific enough, i want to know what size sealed enclosure, would be best for sound quality? I am getting my enclosure professionally done by my local car audio place, and he needs the specs that i want it at. also how do you wire the 1 ohm subwoofer, i'm new to this-lol so please get back to me on this asap. thanks -aj

hey guys heres the deal, i finally got my ported box completed and installed the D2 15" BL, hooked up the amp (aq1200d) to 1 ohm, saw that my fuse is blown so i had to use my friends to see if everything was working.. the amp was showing power, and hooked up a capacitor just to see and it was getting the proper volts, but NO response from the sub, no movement at all. We were soo confussed, everything looked properly installed. just wondering if anyone has any ideas! Please help, i appreciate any given. I miss the bass also how do i properly tune my amp, and where do i put the knob angled at on the subsonic, i need it set about 30 hz which is 2 under the box tuning, but t…

So my q12 arrived on Wednesday to my work (where I have all shipments sent) but I was out sick for two days and I come into work this morning to find the box with a big hole in one side and looking very rough. https://plus.google.com/photos/116140861359253571917/albums/5871144803493812177 The magnet has damage all the way around the bottom edge, cracks and pieces chipped off. I have not attempted to hook it up yet and my question is should I even bother...
