    I'm trying to order a bl 15 and everything goes smoothly until I hit pay now and it tells me there has been an error and to choose a different payment method. I have Discover card and have used it to purchase since I've tried purchasing from Fi and it works so I know it's not the card. I have E-mailed Fi twice since Saturday night and they still havent responded. I would like to order as soon as possible. I've seen on here that they are behind on orders right now or something, but it would be nice if they could reply to me. Maybe they'll see it on here and help me. Am I missing something that I need to order my sub? Any comments would help. Thanks

    I noticed that on the first view of the cut sheet for the bl 15 that it says the width of the box is 33 3/4" but on the other two views it is 34" , is that some kind of mix up or am I missing something?

    Ok, I give up. I need some more direction in building a ported enclosure for my Q10. Right now, it has about .5ft^3 in a sealed enclosure and I really love the way it sounds, I would just like it a little louder (or alot haha.) But anyway, this is in an extended cab S10. I have to admit, its alittle underpowered with my Sundown sae-1000d because it wired at 2ohms. So it gets about 600rms. Any ideas? I would like to use tube for my ports if possible, not really a fan of slot ports, but i'm open to anything. Thanks, Mike B.

    Ok, I am used to building the everyday run of the mill square sealed boxes. I have a 4 door truck with the 60/40 split seat, which I will be removing the 40 section and building a box with an upward firing sub...but I am thinking of porting this one. My question is, can I run ports out of PVC that sit about 2" inside the box and run external under the other part of the seat? Trying to think of some options to possibly install a 15" BL instead of a 12. And the volume of the pvc pipe should be equivalent to the total recommended port in the BL specs correct?

    Quick question...I've had my heart set on the 12" Q (after much reading on this and the BL) with my main intentions towards sound quality. Im putting this in my trunk of a jetta and my question is.....is the sound quality going to really be that prevalent through the back seats? Maybe i shouldve gone BL? thanks in advance

    I've got a 2000 Frontier xcab and I've got 10.42 cu ft box for 2 18's to work with. I've got a saz3000d coming but I want to know if I should go with 2 BL 18's or 1 BTL 18. I'm thinking the 2 bl's would be louder, but the btl has better Xmax with the x coil option. I don't crank my system all the time( I have a toggle switch so I can shut the sub amp off-It's great for keeping the cops at bay) but when I do I want to incite fear and cure constipation from a distance. I want the hair trick factor and I want it to sound ok, not like complete chit. I'm looking for some serious BOOM for what space I got. It will be in competitions and electrical upgrades will be done. …

    I finally ordered knukonceptz wiring today, and it should be here within a few days, and i'm planning on making one last trip to the hardware store. I was planning on screwing the sub in, but i really dont want to anymore because 1. not sure if it will be sufficient and 2. the image of silver bolts coming out the sides of the black sub seems badass So what size (diameter) bolts should i ask for? The hole is 3/16, but do they make a bolt that size? Thanks for reading, Mitch o btw, the sub is 18 bl, doubt it matters though.

    first off i have an 18" fi q with the bp power option and a hifonics 1610d amp. its in a focus, and it will b in a 7 cubic foot box hopefully, but my question is that i want to use pvc ports instead of the normal slot port, i used the winisd program, but either im an idiot, or its really hard to use. i put in my t-s parameters for the q and then i set it to 7 cubic feet and put the tuning at 28 hz. then i changed the porting to round and put in that i wanted to use 2 4" ports. it says they need to be 9.25" each. is there nebody out there that can check that for me to make sure its correct? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx.

    Well I just had a box made for my 15" BTL and they kinda messed up...first they made the woofer hole facing up and the ports facing up also....do the ports facing away from cabin sound louder? Also i found out that the box is tuned to around 29hz....how will that sound?????? Will it sound good..will it be loud most also? I listen to mostly all rap just to let people know (i know rap sounds better in different boxes hz wise)...The box is around 4cuft also just to throw that out there. Help is much appreciated thank you. Here's some pics. Inside...one of the ports.
