    I have an FiQ 15 and it bottomed out on about 5 notes for less than 30 seconds due to faulty ground wire. I was just wondering if any permanent damage could have been done to the sub? It plays fine now after securing the ground wire, but i'm just waiting for something to pop.

  4. Hello, I need help on the port volume. I have a 15" bl with a 1500.1 kicker mono amp and Will be building a 4 cubic foot box and would like it tuned to like 35 hz. I don't understand what 12-16 square inches per cubic foot means in the recomendations. I have always used/seen cubic inches for a port valume. so if someone could "please" help me out asap that would be great. Thanks alot. Farris.

    Does anbody know anybody that can build a box for me and setup my system. I'm ordering 2 15" SSD Fi subs with copper coils and I'm getting a sundown 1500d amp. I have a 2006 trailblazer SS. I need it to be at least 7 cu ft. My main reson for this post is because I live in the dallas, tx area. Does anybody know anywhere I can get this done?

I have my gain set on my amp (AQ2200D) to 4 V the same as the output of my head unit (Pioneer AVH-P5050DVD). My bass boss is all the way down, and so is my subsonic filter. The max vol. on this unit is 40 but i usually listen to my music with the vol. set to about 24-26. I just installed the system about three days ago so am still "breaking in the subs." On my way to work lastnight, i could smell whats seemed to be something buring. All my bass levels are set to either 0 or normal. Is there any reason for this to happen. I kno…

    so what would the difference be if u had 1 fi 18btl fully loaded daily running 4000watts rms or if you had 2 18bl's loaded running 4000watts i would imagine that the 2 bl's would be louder cause more air movement? i dunno i just got done reading the efficency post that was like 8 pages about 500watts to the btl or for that matter what db increases would you be looking at it you ran the btl18 at 2000watts rms vs 4000watts rms what are the sound characteristics between the btl and the bl ? if the recommended box size is 5-10 cubic feet does that mean that the 10 cu ft will hit lower take less power to get louder but can blow easier? and what would the difference be between …

    Ok, well Im trying all I can do to get some cf out of the box that im making to go under my back seat of my truck... I have figured out I can get about .74 cf out of my box but i might be able to get another .1-.2 cf out of it.... If it stays at the .74 cf, what would that do to the sound? I can use polly fill in it also, would that help? And if i can manage to get it up to .8-.9 before displacement, how much better would that be because it will be a decent ammount of work to get those extra few tenths of a cf...

    when people talk about tuning their ports to 33HZ and stuff is that based on the size of the port. Also could i run 2 12" SSD subs on a hifonics amp putttin out 1500RMS or should i get one that puts out 2000RMS.

  22. like the topic says im experimenting with my RE MT to see which coil amp combination will work best, so I would like to know thanx guys , and is there a longer version of the original dual 0.7(actual quad 1.4) coil ?? im in dire need of xmax to get louder... im hearing slapping when i get that sub moving alot( could i be bouncing off the dust cap? I dont think im bottoming out)... last time i ripped the coil right off of the spiders (quad stiff) that was with 4 ab 500.1 gain all the way down ( only got them to produce 75xx watts before sub exploded)or should I be using a different basket with 10" spiders? btw this is a 15" with 12 spoke basket

    I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but, I was wondering if the Q series was universal. I have a Q10 D1 coils paired with a Sundown sae-1000D wired at 2ohms. I know that some of the subs you can change with a recone. Otherwise anyone know some magical way to get a 1ohm load on my amp haha.

    Hey guys, I was running down some information to do a build for a buddy this weekend. He's looking to do a modest setup with 4-500 watts of power to the sub stage and would like to go with a pair of 10's. I showed him the 10" X's which he was very interested in after listening to my Q's he's quite impressed with Fi. One thing I noticed both here on the forum and on the website is that there's no Tech specs for that line. It's easy enough to post up here or send an email asking about the optimum tuning, enclosure size, etc. which we'd like to know, but I figured I'd just go ahead and ask when you might be expecting to have something up on that information? Also, I thi…
