hello i purchased an 18 inch btl fL in june and 1 tinsle lead has broken off... i resoldered it 2 times and now its too short.. i was wondering how i could go about doing this now. do you guys have a tinsle lead kit i could buy from you guys or something, or would i need to buy a recone kit... if so i would like to do the the cheapest option. please help thanks in advance

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

just wanting to know if you guys can or know if another company can. thanks!

How is this for 2 15 bl's? http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...mp;Fs=&CE=0

I broke my terminal loose pulling the sub out of its box, I tried crazy gluing it back but that aint working, My question is, whats the bolt for on the terminal, the terminal is not screwed on, it looks as if it was just glued on over top of the screw instead of screwed down. Now, I cant get the terminal flush with the screw head to even glue it down properly, what would you guys suggest? Right now, the terminal is just flopping around, I know that cant be good

i'm not sure what would be the best way to wire my new bl...if you guys could help that'd be great..it's going to be put to a jl 1000/1 thanks in advance..and if you have a diagram post that to..thanks

ok someone told me before that if they were standard 3" coils then they could be reconed. well i got bored and ripped on of my blown T1's apart. outside of the coil is 3.204"-3.244" and the inside of the coil is 3.020"-3.051". bent a lil bit, maybe from removing it. how much would it cost to recone? how much power would it be able to handle? would i just be better off buying ssd's? thanks. p.s.- any more dimensions needed ill see what i can do, its kinda hard to get into the basket with a 6" dial caliper . but ill see what i can do if ya need me to. the gap in the motor is approx. .145"

im currently in the process of building my system using the said products in the Title.. my question are, will this amp be good if not perfect for the 18" BTL fully loaded? is the amp stable at 1 ohm? ive seen the specs of this amp but im kinda confused cause it was only CEA certified at 2000wrms @ 2ohms. i'll be adding a Kinetik HC2400 battery using a 90 amp stock alt and a regular battery? do you think my electricals can handle my system? and lastly, im gonna jail the sub with a 5cu.ft. (net) enclosure tuned at around 30 to 33Hz. will this planned system work? oh and btw, is that amp even good enough to work with in the first place?

Making another request for dimensions for Q 10. Trying to determine if a Q10 will fit within an existing enclosure I designed and built using different subs.

Ok. i am planning on getting 2 15'' Bl's. (Dual 1 ohm, cooling, and flatwind). How much power can i feed them without buring them up?

How big of box should i use for 2 15'' Bl's? (Space is NOT a limiting factor). Also i want to use 6 inch round ports tuned to 30-35 hz. how many would i need?

So i got my 15Qd2, and it seems to be running pretty warm. No smoke or anything, just that when i get home from banging on it a bit it feels a little hot. Just got it two weeks ago so not sure if it's still just from breaking in, which i'm thinking not, or maybe from low voltage?? It's running off of a fosgate p1000-1bd and the gain is just over half and under 3/4. My lights do dim a lot when it hits. There is a little smell, but smells more like breaking in smell, not vc burning smell, hence no smoke and when i took it out a few days ago vc still looked brand new. Basically, any thoughts on getting the sub to run cooler?? I'm thinking this could become an issue if p…

Howdy, I've been in the planning stages on this for a while and I think I've got it figured out. I'm going for 4 x BTL 12's Fully loaded in this wall: The specs are like this: 19.69 cubes gross 16 cubes net (Subs and Ports removed) 4 cubes per sub Tuned to 32hz with 266.875 sq. in. of port I'd like to run dual 2 ohm BTL's and have each one off of a Orion HCCA-D5000 so roughly 2500 watts RMS per sub (10k total). I'm planning to run all Knu Konceptz 1/0 wire with multiple runs to a battery bank of 6 Kinetik HC2400's in the trunk and 2 200 amp alts. So my question is, do these specs look good for the subs and such?

the thread is much more developed here http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265327 but i will post here anyways, since i would like to get an idea of what some new tinsel will cost me so i can try to do a repair. so my btl stopped working today when i was listening to it on volume 35/70 on the highway. i thought maybe my wires came loose. get home, pull out the woofer and this is what i see at first glance i thought i clipped it. i take a look at the coil...its fine. never smelled anything either and everything is in the same condition as when i recieved the sub. and the other tinsels dont look burned to me at all. i am the third owner of the sub. it does loo…

I currently have a Q12 in a 1.35 sealed enclosure powered by a Cadence TXA-1000d. It sounds really good right now, but I cant help but think this sub can handle a couple hundo more watts on a constant basis. Am I right that it can handle more or is it just wishful thinkin?

This is to FI, What are my options on reconing a TC 3hp motor to a 18"??? I need it reconed to a dvc 4 ohm. What parts will fit?? Could you pm me a cost of the recone if I send it in thanks, Joe

Welp im getting a 12" BTL from my friend and its fully loaded with all options but he bought it maybe like a year ago or so. Now im wanting to recone it to a 18", now my question is do i have the option of adding the HiXmCoil to the recone or is it already understood you get that with a fully loaded recone or what? Thanks for the responses

I have two Fi X 12's and the tensil leads slap really bad. I have about 450watts on each.. i know the RMS is 300 watts.. but the sub is still putting out clean sound other than the leads... i noticed that the tensil's aren't aligned with the pad on the back of the cone. if i were to relocate the pads do you think this would solve the problem? THANKS

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

How are you guys/gals fitting such long ports that are necessary for the Q12 into not very large boxes (1.8-2.5 cuf). I am designing a ported box for my single Q12. (2.2ish cuf @ 32ish hz) I am looking at a 6" port that is around 30 inches long. Is everyone using slot ports with multiple bends? I am not looking to compete or steal any secret designs. I am just looking for suggestions of what other people are doing to port the Q12. Thanks.

i have been searching the forums and technical advise.... but i dont see anything about FI speakers in a sealed application. i want to run 2-15's or 2-18's in the backseat (fiberglassed in) of my caprice, however i dont really like running ported enclosures. is sealed not an option with FI speakers?

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?

Well guy im new to this forum so Hi . Now to the question... I have just bought an 18" btl fully loaded with the spl option, and from what I read on here you cant play music at all with it wich is not my intentions. I want to be able to play music and not just a tone. I have just emailed trying to get my order changed to the Daily option. If it dosent go through will the Spl option really not be able to play my songs at all? Im really hoping I just didnt waste 500$...

Hello all Long story short. My friend told me to check out FI Audio. I surfed through the FI forums for days and have concluded that the SSD or Q line sub woofers will do everything I need. There are several extra options for each series. I ask you experts, what do you think is best for my application. Ohm load on the amps and cuft of the box are limiting factors. Amps: Two RF 500m's (if you are not familiar with the watts RMS or ohm configurations of these amps ask...I will explain them) Ohms limitations: min 2ohm mono load per amp or min 4ohm load in a bridge mono configuration using both amps. Box Space Ideal limit: 4cuft total or less Open options: speaker siz…

I just picked up two BTL 18's, dual 2's, fully loaded, and will be running them off of two modded Memphis Mojo MC-2000d amplifiers (1 on each driver at 1 ohm), approx. 3000 watts each. In my vehicle, which is a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, I don't have a whole lot of useable space to work with and still maintain practicality, so the enclosure is going to be a bit tight for specs. I will run the subs inverted to try to save as much airspace as I can, but I only have a total of 11.2 cubes to work with, before port displacement. I will be able to run 4.7 cubes per driver after displacement, while running more than sufficient power to the drivers, at 3000 watts per. Fi recommends…
