Fi Technical

Ok, i was told i would find them on this site but cant seem to come across them. I was told obviously they were different for the regular 18" BTL. Thanks in advance for any direction of help...

hi im about to order a bl which im gonna use for my daily setup. but i also wanted to use it for spl comps locally so i wanted to make 2 different boxes. i have a mini van so size is not a concern i can make a box in the back as big as 20 cubes. so can u guys help me w/ measurements and stuff??

I have 2 12" Fi Q's and im probobly going to order a subthump box for them, because I hear subthump makes one of the best prefab boxes for Camaros and Trans-Ams. However, these boxes only have a total of about 2 cu. ft. and after diplacement that would only leave me about .85 cu. ft. per sub. These boxes dont take up the whole rear well though, so if you guys think it would be worth it, I could cut out part of the bottom of the box and add some space down there. Thanks, Ben

Hi, I have been looking at FI for a while and I am thinking about getting 4 Q 12's. I will be running 2 MTX TA92001 amps which put out 3000 watts rms @1 ohm or 2000 @2 ohms. would 1000 watts (2 ohm setup) be enough to max out the sub or should I run a 1 ohm setup and just turn it down a little bit and give it more power. also, I have about 10 cu ft of trunk space and i am probably going to run 2 cubes ported for each sub. Should i seperate each sub in its own 2 cube box with its own port or just build a big box with no seperaters and one big port. and one final question for those of you who have had experience with the Q's and the BL's. How much louder will the BL's get …

My sub is less than a year old. Listening to it while driving on the highway one day at about 1/3 the volume and it just shut off. I thought it was the amp or a bad connection somewhere. How do I get this fixed? Is it covered under warranty? I have an Fi Q 12

I posted on another thread about needing the addy to send a motor in for recone, just didn't want to assume its the website address.. Also is it possible to do a full poly cap on a 3hp 18" recone along the lines of the 10" full FI logo one I saw in a earlier thread, or maybe from a HAVOC 18" plain?? I just prefer the look over the small boob/inverted one.. just wondering if its possible thanks, Joe

Simply as the title has stated. Scott do you have enough parts to build another X 12 for me? or a recone for my current sub? or possibly just a dustcap and some tensil so i could fix the sub myself? What would be the cost of these different things if they are even available? Thankss!

Hi, i wanted to know which of these two amps would be better for a bl 18... SAZ-1500d or an SAE-1000D

i need a price for an re xxx 15" dual 2 recone. also how much for a 12" recone for it. i need this price hopefully today. i dont want to call scott since he is so busy if at all possible. thanks!!!

says they're rated at 1000rms im getting 2 18" BLs d1s with cooling options, could they handle 1600rms a peice? my box is built its 8.5 cubes (before sub displacement) tuned to 35hz

Enclosure to Fi Audio Q10 Ported Spec's - 1.2 cu.ft. @ 33Hz Thanks to the folks at Fi Audio Tech Support for providing the dimensional spec's for the subwoofer, subwoofer has just enough clearance for mounting depth.

HOw would 2 15 inch Bl's or Q's sound in a T-line? would it get really loud?

I have a excursion w/2 -18 Q's and want to know if i can tune them to 30hz instead of 28hz? and should i have the port and subs firing to the rear or facing up? all my boxes always had the port and sub on the same side.I would face them to the rear. I would face my box up and the bass cuts in half. Will this do same if i face the subs up and the port to the rear? I want to get the most that i can get out of subs and box. Any input....

Hi im gettting a 12" q and i was wondering if this could be done? I just dont want to worry about tinsel slap and i kind of like the look better thanks

does anybody have any Winisd driver files for any of the Fi subs? If so I would like to get my hands on em. Mine dont seem to be accurate and I would like to see how you guys did yours.

So im designing an enclosure for my btl thats coming in for my crew cab truck thats going to sit on top of the seat and im not sure what the best orientation for the sub and port are for trucks for the most spl. Is it sub forward port up? Sub up port up? Heres one design that i put together, about 7.75 cubes net after displacement, 32 hz, the port will be facing up and sub forward. Are there any design flaws that you guys can see with the port? Is there enough space between the end of the port and the back wall of the box? Any other recommendations or comments?

How much power are you guys running to your SSD's, optioned out, or not.

i've been reading about the whole tinsel slap thing and it's kind of scaring me... i got a single 15 hybrid transmission line built by stratusrt01 a few months ago, he okay'd to me that sub a btl would work fine in there, are their any plans in the future for any upgrades to the tinsel leads? i was thinking of getting a fully loaded 15, the car is 2002 caddy deville, the box is stout as fudge, resin on the seams, i'ma 250 pound dude and i jump on it all the time, and it's rock solid. i dont do music for the numbers, i just a daily beater, just trying to get some feedback from the people with experiance. Thanks in advance fellas.

i am building a box for 1 18" btl, going to be about 8 cu.ft. (actual is 8.02409) and tunned to 32 hz. i have done the calculations and does a 10"H X 3.75"W x 7.24"L port sound right?

Hello, I recently purchased an Fi Q 10" and have it in a .6^3ft sealed box (Before displacement). I am running it off an Alphasonik PMA1200D @ 4ohms (approx. 1200 watts) and I notice that the output seems to be really low and kind of dissapointing. It seems to get any real output the gains have to be turned very high along with the bass boost (which of course in not what you want to do). At this point I am not sure if I should try it in a ported enclosure or if something could be wrong with my amp perhaps. Has anyone else had any of these issues? Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

Ok, so i have figured out what i am going to get. 1 fi btl 18 and ma audio HK4000D with pioneer premier DEH-P980BT deck. I need some help building a box, just need a very simple one I have a dodge charger and the dimensions we have to work with are 31w x 14 1/3h x 30depth and MDF 1inch since the height is only 14 1/3 i am going to have to slant it, can someone help me with a drawing or something, like where the top panel needs to slant in order to have enought room to fit the sub please tell me what you think and if you have any advice please tell me. Thanks, Madison

Hi, I found another thread where FI can recone a 3hp to a 18" for me, I found the price. I'm just curious as to what soft parts would be used to recone(as in what lines it would come from) or what parts in general(how many spiders etc, stiffness.) And do you beleive that the reconed 3hp would be good for 2500rms daily?? thanks, Joe I need the end load to be 2 ohm..so either 4 ohm dvc, or 1 ohm dvc.

My amp is going to be a 1500d, for sure. Two SSD12s have a recommended ported volume of about 5ft^3, and a BTL15 has a recommended ported volume of about 5ft^3 as well. I understand the two 12s will move more air, which may be more impressive as far as my budget will go, and being realistic, I don't anticipate being able to buy another amp or the surrounding electrical to back it up for awhile. Anyway, I ask your advice once again. Should I go with two SSD12s or one BTL15 powered off of a 1500d running at 1 ohm? If built in their ideal boxes, which would get louder, or would it matter? What would be the pros/cons of either? Mahalo, Trevor

Well, I've been looking to start my first real system, and I found a really good deal on these 2 subs. They are the 1ohm 12" Q's. I am pretty newbish and was wondering what configuration would be best (I would guess just wiring them for 1ohm final), and what amps would be good options to push these? Im still in highschool with a part time job so my budget is a little tight (but feel free to say what you think, I can save up if need be). Many thanks, Ben
