Fi Technical

i wanna run a fi ssd 18 off a us amps xt 1600.2 in my sebring.. but im not sure if i have required space for it in my trunk.. i would probly have to face the sub up and port back to make it work. what do you guys think..

I need your help guys..... 1. Sealed or ported? 2. Does any one have a pre-fab box that works well? 3. Does anyone have box specs that I could duplicate?

I bought 2 12" SSD 2 ohm DVC subwoofers about 4 months months ago. I finally finished the fiberglass box three days ago. Anyways, I'm using the Sundown Audio Mono 1500W rms amp, and as my cousin and I were looking over it we realized that there was no possible way to get two 2 Ohm DVC subs down to one ohm with that set up. We'd have to do 2ohms which would only be giving me half the power from that amp. My question is, what can I do about it? I emailed [email protected] 2 days ago and I haven't gotten a response so I was hoping the forums would be a little faster. Is there any way that I could ship the subwoofers back to you guys and get the dual voice coils changed to…

I just bought a 12" Brahma MKII, its working but has had the tinsels resoldered after they broke. I was going to attempt to repair the tinsel leads and run with it like that, but, the guy I bought it from originaly said it was a 10" , now he says its a 12" , so I want to go ahead and recone it down to a 10". So, I want to go ahead and place an order for a 10" recone kit with 10" basket and gasket shipped to 26851. Just wanted to post this here before I send any emails.

Me and my friend are about to hook his car up with some Fi subs. We are unsure of what really seperates ported from sealed and how power makes a big difference. Right now we are lookin at 3 Q 10's sealed, 2 Q 12's ported, or a 12" BTL ported. Q's will get 1k watts each, the BTL 3k to 4k watts. We listen to everything from heavy metal to rap. What we are lookin for is a rough idea of how each of these setups will differ in every aspect. I know it sounds like a lot and we are grateful for it. He says he may wanna compete in something with it later, so that is something we need to keep in mind. Any help or suggestions would be great.

assuming both are in 8^3 ft @ 32 hz with 3kw to split between them @ 2 ohms with equal installs. which ones would be louder? my main concern is, do these subwoofers basically take power the same way and just 1 gears it more towards an SQ aspect and the other a SPL aspect. or is basically just the power applied that will determine which is louder? i mean both are rated @ 1kw and the only thing that seperates them are the power options that apply to the thermal side of power handling. but mechanically, as far as power handling goes, are they the same? same stiffness spiders etc? i have been told by one guy that his 2 15" q's were louder off 1.2kw of power than his bl 15's t…

Im looking around locally for a place to build a box for 2 15's. Ive heard of a place called precision audio but I'm not too sure if they use quality material/planning/preparation/etc. All I know is they charge about 250-300 for a box. Does this sound reasonable to you? I know there are a whole bunch of variables but judging from your past purchases and stuff, let me know, thanks.

hey hey i just got one of the re xxx 05 model and scott i emailed u about a few things such as specs and a 18" top end lol the 15 just dont make me happy so i wanna convert it to 18 anyone know how much this will cost? my buddy john Mulcahy told me to ask scoot cuz he was the one that designed these subs

Well, we just slopped together a set up for this years nopi nationals in atlanta. It was 3 kicker CVR 12's in a partitioned sealed box feeding each sub 2.4 square feet, and also 3 kicker CVR 10's in a partitioned box feeding each about 1.6 square feet. They were stacked and put in the back of a 98' Durango no extra battery, not even another cap. Powered it by 2 Crunch Powerzone 1000W 2 channels. We ran the stock USAC 1801-3001 class, and did well. Hit 141.2SPL at 56Hz beating several guys running memphis 15's. Regardless, we are gearing up for next year to be much bigger and louder. This year's set up was built in 2 days with subs from various cars just thrown together i…

hey, i have access to some ED Ov.2 motors, and was thinking it might be a good start to recone. Can a drop in recone kit be had for this sub? the vc is 62.5mm which is right around 2.5 in. I would like something inexpensive and sq related. i read in previous threads where the older e12k (desjil) was reconeable for like $60 or something. Let me know! thanks, brian here are the specs for the O: http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_i...;products_id=35

do u guys have a list or catalogue? I hate asking for each individual part... I feel like im always hastling uguys here for recone parts either way need some dvc 1.4 and 0.7 alum coils, cones, spiders, tinsel(the thick stuff) and some dust caps do u prefer an email with a list?

I just ordered my 2 12's with BP power option...just for good measure. I'm gonna have a T20001bd on em. I want to port em. How do you think 1.8 cubes ported to 32Hz for each sub would sound? Do I need to push for 2 cubes? I don't have much room in my car...but here's a pic of the trunk space I have with my previous setup. That was just 2 JL 10w3v3's I'm thinking of running the boxes along the side where the old ones were. So how would 1.8 sound? Still jam the subs hard, or do I need to go for 2 cubes or even more? More than 2 would be pretty tough, but I wanna build the fiberglass boxes once...gonna be alot of work.

Saw the Q10 is up on website, what is the recommended sealed and ported enclosure size, and tuning frequency for the ported. Thanks Never mind found it Q 10

do u have parts available to recone a treo ssx15? dvc 1ohm thanx, Peter

i am ready to purchase the fi bl 12. i have a hifionics brutus amp 1600 watts and i want to run it at 1ohm what option do i need on my speaker to run it at 1 ohm...??? dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm thanks in advance

Hey guys right now I have 2 12" ssds running off us amps 4000.1 (1500 rms) and the subs are in 2.5^3 ft per sub @ 33 Hz. The box is just soo big and so hard to deal with and I want to build a sealed box and see which i like better. Is it normal with this large of a ported box i have a very weak upper end?? I want to put the ssds in the best suited sealed box. I have an avalanche and the box goes in the bed so i have plenty of room. I was thinking somewhere a long the lines of a sealed box around 1.1-1.3. You guys know these subs the best so if you were going to build a sealed enclosure what deminsions would you build it to. I have plenty of room so it doesnt matter how wi…

Adrie Brahma MK I Motor can it be reconed from fi? thanks

I am buying a 3hp motor from TC sounds, I would like to know if FI can recone it. If so, what are my options or what can I recone it to? I know/think that the 12 spoke baskets FI sells will fit this motor, so I am definatly ordering one of those. But, which recon kit should I go with, I want to recone to a 15" and I would like DVC 1 ohm coils, I will be running this 15" off a Kicker Kx 2500.1 at 2 ohms, so what options will I need on the recone kit for the hybrid sub to handle 2500 watts? I know I want the daily option and whatever its going to take to handle my amp as far as the coils go. I really would like a BL recone kit, not interested in the BTL but if its cheaper t…

hi i'm interested in a pair of 18" btl's and i'm curious how much efficiency is lost by choosing the "daily" option and the "universal" option , these sub are going to be used in a streetmax truck but I may want to bass race occasionaly. I think i'm looking at dual 2 ohm,pole chamfer,thirdslug,hi xmax coil,daily, and universal for the build options on them how much would recones be so I could stock them so when i blow one i can just recone it and order a replacement instead of missing a show waiting on the UPS guy. Thanks for your time Charlie

Details - Fi Q12 Ported - Down Firing - 2.0 cu.ft. Net Volume - Port @ 33hz, Amp Tray Additional Detail - Due to the spec's required relative to the size need customer is willing to raise the rear seat 1.5" and the enclosure protrudes past the front of the seat edge 2". Again, Thank you Scott for the measurements for the Q12. Best Regards, Phil Woodlawn Cabinetry

Is this too big of a "enclosure and port" for a daily. For 2 fully loaded BTL15 with a T4k ......11.1ft3 (net) with 160sq" of shared port tuned to 30hz....after sub and port displacement subtracted I got a total of 8.6ft3 which would be 4.3ft3 and 80sq" of port per sub. Is that too big?

Hey guys I'm looking for blue prints for either a single or dual 15 inch ssd ported box with optimum area space. I'm not new to stereos or box building, I'm just way to lazy to design my own box. So I was wondering if there are any blue print boxes laying around like element designs puts out on there site. Thanks in advance and hopefully you guys have some so I can get to building.

Hey guys, i recently built a box for my 18" BL and i realized it doesnt really have the low end that I am looking for. So, I'm looking at blocking up one of my ports to lower the tuning. my question about this is the vent velocity. currently, its tuned to around 37Hz. if i blocked up one of the ports, i'd lower it down to 31Hz. Vent velocity is what worries me though: at 37Hz, I have a peak of 15.7m/s VV @ 25Hz at 31Hz, I'd have a peak of 22.9m/s VV @ 22Hz; i reach 15.7m/s of VV with the 31Hz tuning @ 34Hz Is it worth it? or will the port noise be to much? the group delay also jumps a little bit, but i'm not to worried about that because it all happens in the 24Hz range…

Im looking to get some floor work done in my trunk in LV and need some good recommendations of good audio shops in the Las Vegas area. Figuring FI is in Vegas, i would hope some of you would be able to give me some advice. Thanks
