    I have a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe and I am going to put a Fi BL 18" in it. It will be powered with a Rockford Fosgate T10001bd amp and a Kinetik battery. Just ordered it yesterday I have a general idea of the specs on my box in order to fit the 5-10 cubic feet. It will be about 9 cubes by the time everything is displaced. The only problem since I am new to car audio and this is my first system is what are the dimensions of the port? The box will be W 45" x H 20" x D 20" with 3/4" MDF. I want to tune the box to 32Hz. Any help will be appreciated. -Kasey

    I'm probably going to order my Fi SSD 12in this Friday, and was wondering which coil to go with. It will be hooked up to a Kicker ZX750.1. And I read somewhere, that these can be somewhere between 900-950 watts RMS at 2 ohms. So would the Flatwind Coil be the best to go with.

    I ordered 1 18" Fi SSD. I plan on getting another one soon. And was wondering what kind of amp I should get? I went ahead an got the dual 2 ohm voice coils on the amp. I'm looking for something cheap. Possibly well under $200? Currently I have a MA audio 18" 1100 watt amp with a legacy audio 2000 watt amp and it hits hard but it doesn't have near the quality I'm looking for. With the new SSD I'm looking to run either a 1ohm or 2 ohm config. Not sure yet what to do. Any ideas? I'm also wanting to run the SSD at atleast 650wrms 800 would be perfect.

    Just currious if the new 12" BTL would be better suited in 2.5 or 3 cubic feet? Would tuning at 32 work or would I be better off tuning higher? Any info would be appreciated

    I have a toyota ex cab truck and I was wanting to know what is the biggest sub set up I can fit in the back? The space in the back is 19'' deep X 22'' tall X and 53'' wide. I want to do a ported box with either 2 Q18's or 2 Q15's. Given this amount of space what do you think I could fit back there? -Alex

    Im soon to be getting 1 15" ssd but i just have a few questions on what i should do to elctrical to make it sound the best it could without spending alot of money at all (under 150$). it will probably be going in a ported box about 3.1 after all displacements at 32-33hz. Now my car is a 1995 saturn sl2. stock alternator and wiring. battery is over a year old. would just replacing all wiring in my car to 0 guage do the trick or would i have to go alot further. 0 guage on big 3 then on power and ground also. I would also like to know if my US amps XT2000D would be good to power it. 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

    I am getting 2 12" Fi X in a trade and want to know the t/s specs there are none on the website. All I know about them is they are 300w rms and D4. I thought to myself they were perfect for HT. Wire them series parallel and final load of 4 ohms, BASH500 does 500w @ 4 ohms. So, I just need to know some specs so I can figure out what kinda box to put them in. I want to put them in a tline since space isn't really an issue Thank you for your help.
