Fi recommends 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume. The demensions I want to use are 14.5 H, 28 W, 18 D. (can change alittle)

    Hi, I'm getting a Fi 12" Q and need some help on a ported box. I'll probably go with the recommend tuning of 32hz, but I was wondering what the main differences between 2.0 and 2.5 would be?

    Will 2-18'' BTL's be happy with 2000 watts per sub? And will they play with 2000 watts each or do I need to put 4000 watts per sub? Need to smoke 2-13" w7's. Can 2000 watts per sub do it???

    Hopefully someone can help. I found a 3hp motor, but it only has the 4 bolt layout where the basket secures. I've seen a few of these motors rebuilt w/ fi softparts so i know it can be done. My question is what cone assembly, or coils and spiders should I get (assuming I use FI) to make it perform similar to an eclipse TI? Also, what basket should I use, or is there one that I can use with a four bolt pattern? I need some guidance and am a little knew to this so bare with me please, and maybe a price range so I know what I'm getting into. Thanks for the help. Also, when do the new woven tinsels come into production, and will all products be switched to this? It's …

    I am truly worried about this since I am eager to get a X10 or X12 and it has to deal with power issues. I have an Arc Audio XXD 2080 and it des 240 x 1 @ 4 ohms when bridged. I truly have been wanting to get a Fi Audio sub since three years ago but would like to know would the amp and the X10 or X12 would work together hand in hand or would it be a total flop?

    Ok in 2007 i bought 2 fully loaded 18bls. and had them in my 95 deville. but now i have a 03 and the trunk is a little smaller. right i just have one in with a 6. 75 ft3 box tuned to 32hz. well my other one is just sitting in my room wanting to be build. Ive blown both of them but reconed one couple months ago. but i want to put both in my 03 .the max size in my trunk is 41x40x15. if i keep it at 32 hz the ft3 will be 7.55, i know many will say that would be way small for 2 18s but i already got might as well just make a new box and put it in. My question is would both of my 18s at 7.55 ft3 be louder then just one at 6.75 ft3?

    I was wondering if the BP option changes anything on the T/S parameters of any woofer it gets done to? Does it lower efficiency? And if it does, what is the point? Does a subs BL drop by having the BP option?

I just got a Fi Bl 15 dual 1 fully loaded and i am wondering what dimensions i should use to get the most slap outta this sub. I went to RE Audio and used there box calculator and came up with: W: 38" H: 18" D: 17.5"... Port width: 4" port Length 12.75. Second port length: 16"....with 4.2 cu ft. in total for volume. Box is Tuned to: 31.63 hz Does that sound alright? Also im buying a Hifonics BXi 2010D to power the BL so id be giving it 2000 watts. Is that to much? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

    I have a mazda ext cab pickup and have about 12cu feet to work with. I really want the FI Q18's. I have never owned a pair of 18's and that's what i want. I want to kind of do what Steve Meade did in his honda and build the enclosure inside of the truck. If i can't do that this is the space i have to work with 30in high x 49in wide x 14in deep. If i built inside i think it would be a little bigger. I was wondering if I can't fit 2 of the Q's, should I just use 1 of the Bl's?

  25. Started by spooney,

    Well my computer crashed and I lost the t/s specs I had saved into win isd for my older model 15 inch Fi Q dual 2. I am throwing around new enclosure ideas but the specs for the new Fi Q's seem a bit different. When I use the specs for the 2010 Q it suggest a ported enclosure where as the older one always suggested sealed. I am sure the specs are reasonably close but just the same I would like to get the t/s specs for the older fi q 15" d2 model if at all possible. If anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
