Subwoofers / Speakers

I like the set up i have right now but I'v been having this feeling like I wana improve it... I'v been looking around and have decided that the next set of sub's are eather Fi-SSD's or Q's Or the Sundown Nightshade D2's or D1's i havent decided yet, but thoughts anyone...

I understand it's not exactly a fair question, but I'm just trying to gain some incite. I previously owned a 12" Type R, ran 500 rms to it in a custom made sealed box of optimum size. (got stolen) Which setup do you guys think would put out the same amount of spl as it at 500 rms; A 12" Fi Q sealed, 12" Fi Q ported, or a 15" Fi Q sealed? I'm looking for sq so that isn't the question. The Type R was perfect for output, but quality was lacking. Hopefully someone has experience. Thanks

Need 1 Fi Q 10

First, excellent place for information these forums are. I'm sure I'll lose a ton of sleep pouring over these pages. Now on to my situation. I don't need my vehicles to get extremely loud (I'm very happy at 125db), but I like it to be pretty clean. For this reason I usually prefer older equipment... running a pair of Kicker s12d solobarics until very recently (very happy with those btw). Newer stuff, especially "main stream" stuff tends to be more spl oriented and is usually pretty muddy for my tastes. Due to a downsize in vehicle (it's a 91 318is bmw) I am looking for a single sub I can stick in around a sealed 0.9-1.2ft^3 and sound clean, and loud when desired. …

I think I finally decided on the Q. Now I just don't know which options are going to work best. I don't have an amp yet, but plan on getting something that is around 1200-1500. What I'm looking for in a sub, is one that will work best in a small sealed enclosure (around 1 cube), has great transient response, and can drop low. It is an old, old sub now, but my favorite by far has been the MASS 2012, and I just can't find a sub that is equal or better. The fs of the Q kind of makes me nervous, as the MASS was around 25 and the q is 34. My front stage consist of a DLS up6i set, being powered by an amp that is 150x2. The front stage sounds quite good for my taste. I've setup…

Warning. . . . didnt have a burnt smell on anything just quit workin. . . . when i took it out the cone was still soft an the tinsels still intact. . . i took a 9v battery an did a coil test an nothing no movement or sound or anything i dont what could have happen any help is greatly thanked. . . an i was wondering if scott will see this post an if my sub can be replaced or anything

Hi, im planning on ordering 2 fi q 15's today. i was just wondering wether i should bother for getting the cooling, the I heat ring, ETC. please let me know your opinion, thanks

I have a '96 s10 ex cab and Im a rocker so I want good SQ and alot of BUMP does the Q fit my needs?

ok im kinda a newbie when it comes to car audio. i herd 1 kicker 15'' cvx today in a ported box and it was insane to me. i know alot about FI but ive never had there stuff. would 1 FI Q 15'' be louder?

ok i'm switching out my 2 15"kicker cvx's for two Fi Q 15"s and don't know which voice coil option to get dual 1 or dual 2ohm?? my amp is 1ohm mono..but i hear the fi subs have some weird voice coil they say the ohm's are like .8 or 1.5 ohm subs???what's the deal with that? if so what do i need to do?

I have been running a Fi Q 18 tuned at 28Hz off 1500w RMS for a few years now and I love the way it sounds however, I think I want to upgrade to get more output. I will also be upgrading to 2000-2500w RMS. Honestly I really want more of what I have now in terms of sound because I love the way it sounds but I do not want to get a second one because I do not have the room and I do not want to upgrade to 3000-3500w RMS. I do not compete and I never will. I do not care what numbers I hit or what it sounds like outside the vehicle I just want loud good sounding music. I listen to almost strictly electronic music which to be honest is kind of all over the place in terms of freq…

Hey guys I can't wait to swap my 2 12s for a single 18 for some real low extension and think these are the two possible winners. the Sound Splinter Rlp 18 and the Fi Q 18. So, for you guys that have tried both can you give your thoughts? thanks or if you have experience with either of em just give your thoughts bout them. yeah boi

I have a JBL 1200.1db amplifier and have been looking for subs to push with it. Should I get 1 12" FI Q sub? if so, any advice where I could look to get the best deal on one? or two....wouldn't think the amp could push two....

I have just recieved my fi-Q 15 and im trying to work out the box specs. I wanna do 4 cuft3 at 30hz... The forum recommended the following under the technical info... Q 15

Hello. I am new here and looking for an answer to an easy question. I have a 2002 Civic and I am looking at a Q Logic Custom sub box. First, does anyone have any experience with those units. Second, the volume of the Q Logic enclosure is 0.65 cu. ft. The Fi Q I am looking at calls for 0.2-0.6 cu. ft. of volume, but it has a 0.12 cu. ft. displacement. Does this mean the Q Logic would work? The way I am calculating it is that 0.65-0.12=0.53 cu. ft. volume after installation. Thank you in advance for the help. Nick

How will a Q do in an IB setup? I will be upgrading to 15's most likely, should I stick with the Q's or would something else perform better for all out SQ? Price is not a huge issue.

which sub can get loud with maintaining good sq and which is just overall better. ill be gettin 2 12's they'd be goin in a 4 cube box tunned to 32hz. either would be runnin on a aq2200d amp. so any input?

I am planning on getting a Fi Q or a Fi SSD. I am getting a 12'' I am pretty sure. I got a Autotek 1000.1 amp coming in the mail soon. I an aiming for LSQ but I would like some decent SPL as well. I dont wanna break the bank. Does anyone have any personal experiences with the Q and SSD? Please let me know. Thanks!

I'm stuck between these two setups?? i want the best spl and sq possible... i will be putting these in a sealed box around 2.4 cubic feet per chamber..i cannot fit a ported box for 15"s in my car!! so which will it be? 2 15" Fi Q's or 2 15" memphis mojo's the amp i have is a titanium 2400 1ohm stable!!

I am going to be ordering a 10" FI Q in the next couple of days. It will be going in a sealed box with .57 cu. ft. or airspace after displacement. I will probably be running it with an older Memphis 1000d I have laying around. I know I need to add the high QTS option to it, but should I add the cooling option as well? This may actually be a stupid question but does the cooling option add any length to the mounting depth? My box is only 7" deep so I dont have any room to play with being that the mounting depth for the Q is already 6.5". Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Been awhile since I've been on here. Had to put my system on hold there for a while. Finally got my Fi Q installed about a month ago. I will have to update my build log here soon. Anyways my Q is rusting all to shit. Like I said it's only been installed for about a month. Which has me wondering how bad it's going to look further down the road. Since my box has a plexi viewing window its quite the eye sore. Was thinking about picking up some rust remover and seeing if that takes care of it. Is there anything else I can put on it to protect it from rust?

Kind of like the title says, I want to get an Fi Q 12 with all the options in a sealed box, 1.25cu ft. I already have the box made. The amp is a rockford bd1500, does 1500w rms at 2ohms. The amp will be ran off a high to low level converter and I know it looses some signal, but not sure if that will effect the wattage output. I just dont have to have one of these subs built only to smoke it shortly after. Some people suggest not more than like 1250w rms, but i though maybe with the extra options and the fact the amp is off high level inputs if it would be 'safe'? I emailed Fi almost a week ago but they never emailed back. Thanks for any input.

what do you guys think. my buddy has a kicker 12 l7 in a spec box hooked up to the kicker 700 watt amp. Im looking to out bang him with one FI Q, what do you think my chances are. im looking to put 1000w rms to the q in the best box i can fit in my car. Any suggestions

ok. I've been eyeing all kinds of tc varients, the q, the z15 and a bunch of others. Kinda think i've narrowed it down to the q or the z15. Mach5 was around in the top 3 but don't think i can get a 15 from them right now. Have also been looking at ssa dcon. Looking at powering the sub with an arc 2500 xxk on a 4ohm load in the area of 1000w rms. Box isn't built so i don't have anything to work around there except for size limits. Wanting to work within the 36x20x20 inch box size to conserve trunk space. Going ported and thinking of going either slot ported, maybe aero ports, or a transmission line (not saying i know much but know very little about those differences in p…

Between two 15" CVXs or two FI Qs. Do you think that off the same power, 1000 watts each, both in a ported box in the same vehicle, (tahoe), which do you think could get louder? I know it depends on the install but they're basically going in the same setup. Which do you think would get louder and sound better doing it? I think it would probably be the Q but I havent heard either.
