    I broke one of the terminals on my BL 10" yesterday when I was pulling it out of its box. The tinsels are fine and the sub is still working perfectly. But the terminal is moving up and down! I am thinking it is going to start vibrating once it gets moving! I dont know how Fi had it secured, I am thinking it was glued down, if so, what kind of glue should I use to reglue it?

    I just ordered my 12" Fi Q (w/ bp option) and i could never be more excited for it to come. I'm upgrading from a JL Audio 13TW5, mainly for loudness issues. I have a couple questions however... 1. Will the Q be much louder than the JL? The JL is running 500watts @ 4 now off a Kenwood 9104D amp. The Q will run off the same amp for now, getting 900watts at 2ohms. I'm upgrading cause the JL is shallow, only 13mm excursion and barely moves any air... And I loveeeee SQ subs, but also want pretty loud... 2. Now before you bash on me and tell me I should have gotten a BL instead, I must state that i drive a scion tc, with an open hatch area, which is where the sub will be sittin…

    I'm trying to figure out the port diameter and length for a box I'm going to build, but every time I use a formula from the internet I get something that doesn't seem reasonable. The box is for a Fi SSD 15. I figured the dimensions are 25x15.5x17 which is 3.81 ft cubed. I'd like the port tuned to 33hz. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. And if you could leave the formula for future reference that would also be appreciated....thanks

    I have a box design in mind (i just need a car to see if it will fit or not) which has two either 15 or 18 inch (depending on available room) BTL's or BL's. I am not sure though if these subs are designed to be able to share a box together. I was originally going to run just a single BTL 18" in a 7 or 7.5 cu/ft box, but i wanted a more good looking design, so, as an example, are you able to run two BTL's in a box of volume 14-16 cu/ft? Or the equivalent volume of the BL's? I'll try to draw what i want it to look like on a CAD program or something, but i would like to know if it possible first before i start buying materials. Thanks

    Hey guys. Im about to pull the trigger on a 12" SSD. My question before I do is can I reverse mount the sub? The space is kind of tight for the setup im trying to achieve and this would be my best option. Also I have a Diamond Audio amp already on hand. It can push 800rms @ 2 ohm and 1200rms @ 1ohm. Which would be my best option.? I was thinking of getting the 12" Q if it is a better option but was hoping to go with the SSD. Im already pushing 300rms to my DLS comp. up front. from a seperate amp. Im looking for an LSQ setup. Sorry for the winded post and thousand questions. Thanks for your help......

    Hey guys, i am looking for a box design and was hoping one of ya could help me out. Its for 2 18" BL's powered off one rf t3000 going in a tahoe. I would like the dimensions no bigger than 28x48x22 if possible for daily driving tuned around 32hz subs up port back. I really dont trust myself designing one, but i guess thats one way to learn. Any help is appreciated.

    Ok in 2007 i bought 2 fully loaded 18bls. and had them in my 95 deville. but now i have a 03 and the trunk is a little smaller. right i just have one in with a 6. 75 ft3 box tuned to 32hz. well my other one is just sitting in my room wanting to be build. Ive blown both of them but reconed one couple months ago. but i want to put both in my 03 .the max size in my trunk is 41x40x15. if i keep it at 32 hz the ft3 will be 7.55, i know many will say that would be way small for 2 18s but i already got might as well just make a new box and put it in. My question is would both of my 18s at 7.55 ft3 be louder then just one at 6.75 ft3?

    My SSD15 is coming this Friday hooray! So, I'm starting to plan out my install and i was wondering which way i should face the box. I have an '09 Jeep Liberty (the newer longer boxier model). I'm not able to build a custom box or get a good one made at the moment, so i bought a box that should be within the reccomended size and tuning ranges. Things to consider: Box has port and sub on the same face. Sky slider roof - its like the ultimate sun roof without the whole roof coming off. It slides from the front to the back and bunches up accordian style, so if box is facing up it won't be facing a solid exactly. Box can fit any direction in trunk. Just lookin for some inpu…

    Hi, i have a blown tensil lead on my X 12 and i was wondering if Fi could re cone it or replaced the bad lead. This isnt my first blown lead. Before i replaced them but in removing the dust cap i cut through my cone, so i'd rather send it off to Fi. Does Fi cut off the dust caps for this kind of work? or just recone the sub? If a re cone is needed to repair the sub, is there a recone available???? Thanks!!!

  22. Hey, I have 2 tc 3hp motors. I know they need to be sent in to be machined to fit the 12 spoke mounting holes. I saw where you posted prices for a 3hp recone, there were prices for a 12/15/18. Can you do a 3hp 10" recone?? The motor measures 7.5 inches wide at the widest point. I'm hoping there won't be a problem with 10's. I'd like to send them this week, but waiting to see what can be done. Thanks FI.

    So, now that my friends vehicle is out of my hair, I have a quick question about mine. I listen to almost pure rap, love it. I love SPL big time, all the vibrations, shaking of the vehicle, etc. Would a 12" ported BTL be the best bet for me? It is obviously going in a car, so room is..well, eh. Or would something like a couple Q's be better in the long run? Right now, I am considering the single BTL. Now this is gonna be a stupid one for ya, which Fi sub compares to RF T1's? I have a dispute that continues now and am curious. Thanks....hope I win this fight, lol.
