Fi Technical

thanks everyone need a little help i have a new bl 15 loaded, enclosure 4 cb tuned to 32 hz, im trying to adjust my amp and head unit settings for this sub ive tried several things but i dont feel that its right... the amp is a hifonics bxi 2008d mono, and the head unit is a pioneer deh p7900... ok now ive played around with it a little and to get decent sound (bass) ive had to set this amp to gain level 3/4 up, and bass eq 3/4 up, subsonic a little over half way, and low pass a little over half way... and the head unit settings hpf 80hz, (sla) all way up, loud off, sub 1 normal, sub 2 to +6 and im guessing the band thats on this setting with this is the low pass at 100…

Well, After serching the forum, I have found what is included in a recone kit, but now its time for the questions. I was woundering what a 18" Dual 2 ohm BTL recone with flatwind coil will cost. Also I have never done a recone before but I beleive I do have the logic, and patience to do one, but would I be better of just sending in the motor and basket for a recone? Would it cost the same for a recone kit as it would to send in the sub (Shipping not taken into consideration here)

I'm looking for the best box designs for this kinda of subwoofer? I want sealed because I want clean cut bass and me and my buddy are going be building the box tomorrow and sealed is the easiest build for right know till summer time. So any one have the best box desgin for Fi 10 Q sealed and test on it or pictures would be great. thanks lata

Do you guys offer a recone kit from Fi that will fit the RE SX motor? If so, could you PM me a price please? Also, would you be willing to sell the recone + motor for a Q? Let me know!

Hello, i'm looking at getting a Fi Audio 12" SSD sub. So I was wondering if a square port of 29.25 is alright? My box is 2.1 @ 33Hz. Thats after all displacements. I haven't build a ported box before, so i'm learning how to.

specs on 09 fi ssd 18

Does any one know what the QTS becomes on the option of raising the QTS? I plan on getting a pair for sealed, but want to know what the QTS are. Also Plan to run a 1500 rms to each, should i get a extra spider? just dont want to lose the low end making it to stiff in a sealed box. input would be greatly appreciated.

Is 12 cubes net tuned to 31hz too much for 4 BL 12's? How about 140 inches of port?

Nevermind, PM sent... thanks. Delete this is you like... Joseph K.

what is the smallest sealed and ported box that i can use to put 2 ssd 18's in.

I'm looking for someone (Scott? Nick? Just anyone that knows what they're doing) to help me get together a box design (cut sheets, etc)... I plan on running the Q for a little while in a sealed box I built that is right at 2.6 cubes (after sub displacement), but want to build a ported box later so it will hit the lows better. I have no problem with building it, that is easy for me, I just need a good design that is tuned to a certain Hz. I want it to sound good, but be louder from the outside than it will be sealed. Would 32 Hz be a good "middle of the road" tune? The box is going to go in the floor of an ext. cab '01 silverado (still has the backseat, just leaving it up…

Im in the process of designing a box for one Fi Q 15 and I have a couple quick questions. If went over the 12-16 square inches of vent area per cubic foot of volume would this affect the sound Quality? I was just curious because I have seen a few enclosures that definatly go over this and sound amazing. I am going for more sound quality vs. SPL but want to get the most out of my subs. Also I am planning on tuning the box to 32 hz, that was the recomended optimal freq. for the 12" Q but does this also apply to the 15" Q? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance, Zach

Did the guys at Fi re-evalutate the SP4 and change the RMS from 2500 to 3000 watts, or did they redesign it to increase RMS?

12" ssd bp and flatwind options ordered it yesterday now i need help on dimensions for a sealed box any help or suggestions?

I love my Sub and plan on purchasing another one but ever since i purchased my 18" SSD back in December i sort of drifted away from the forum and keeping up to date with everything that was going on with FI. I have read different articles saying there are new lines for the BTL and i think BL but not sure on the Q and SSD. Well anyways i plan on purchasing another 18" SSD soon and my first question is, is there a new line of SSD subs and if there is my second question is, will there be a problem if an old SSD is in the same box as a new one.

Hello ! I am from Germany and i bought a BL 10 ! Now my Question : Which volume must have the box and how long must be the port ? I hope you can understand what i want to know ? I cant find some informations about my problem ! Sorry my English ist not very well ! Nice greetings !

Is the recommended sealed cabinet size of 0.2 to 0.6 cu ft after displacements given in 2007 for the high QTS driver. Also does anyone know what the high QTS is

What is a good program to use that can help me put my idea on paper? I want to have a setup with two sealed drivers in the back of my blazer (15/18 still undecided). I want to have them stacked like an 8, except I want the top one to be inverted this will be in a fiberglass box painted black with lightning airbrushing. I just wish I had a program that would allow me to rig a detailed example of what this would look like.... Thanks

I have read from many 04/05 XXX users that the tinsel sometimes break. My friends 12" just broke last week and we're trying to get some tinsel wires and there so hard to find. Forum members have told me to talk to scott or nick at Fi car audio to get some. Seems they might be busy since i didn't get a reply. Hoping they see this and respond back. thanks

Im changing my set up.. i only had my 2 10" Qs for a couple months but they arent loud enough for me anymore. I have an 04 super crew F150 and im taking the center seat out of the back seat and im gonna center console 2 12"s. im gonna try to fit BTLs. id like to keep it a wood enclosure to keep the cost down. Anyone have any ideas for how to get them to fit and have the airspace they need?

im just wondering if it would be possible to have softparts assembled to work on a fosgate power hx2? i can take exact measurements if needed, but from what i can see so far it has a 4" dual 2 ohm coil and an 8" spider like i said though i can take better measurements of everything if you guys can help me out on this one. btw i have tried contacting RF direct and they stopped making softparts for this particular sub seeing as though its over 3 years old.] TIA chris

So the single 4 ohm IB3 is 4 layer, and the single 2 ohm coil is 2 layer. I ordered a custom dual 2, will it be 2 or 4 layer? Or 8 Or 1

So I'll be running my SSA Zcon 12" on 3k for now until I get around to purchasing a recone for an sp4 motor I got in a trade. My problem is..I have a trunk car and limitations on box sizes. Depth and height are a problem for me. I have come to the conclusion that the biggest I can fit is an L port enclosure about 3.9-4 cubes. If I give it about 4 inches of port and still have net, will this enclosure server well to the sp4? I'll be running 3k @ the sp4. If not recommend what you all have experimented with.

Hey I'm looking to run two Loaded BL 15s. Will these hold approx. 1700 rms each? for light daily use and some compeition use as well? Also is there a tuning frequency that I can get where they will drop hard and still be loud on about 45 hz tones for comps or do I need to just build two interchangable boxes? What size would you reccomend if I'm driving a Jeep and have a lot of room. This is a crappy first thread I know but I am looking for advice direct from the Fi experts lol.

does anyone have a cut sheet like the ones posted but with 2 18 btls Thanks in advance
