Any updates on this beast?

Is that orion in a ported box? Do they sound as good as they look?

Any updates?

Does the phone # on the shipping label under the fi audio adress when i got bl 15's still work? Or is that fi's shipping department?

r those batteries behind the step bars?

My buddy was telling me about a Ascendant Audio hummer last week? I was wondering if their is a Ascendant Audio loaded hummer? I thought i rembember seeing pictures of one somewhere awhile ago but can't seem to remember where at.

In the one picture it looks like part of the spider is still smoldering looks bright orange- like its still hot?

I know i should know this but do you have to match the cranking amp ratings on batteries to run them together? Or can you just run about any battery regardless of the amp ratings? Will they draw off of each other. The only reason i ask is I've bin looking around the forums at alot of installs and have seen a couple mixed matched batteries linked together. I have 2 optima redtops and i want to hook another battery to them without a isolater but don't want to spend another $160 on another redtop battery. Any help would be appreciated Joe

Well i have a 220 amp DB Electrical alternator and 2 optima redtops in my suv. 1 up front and 1 in the back and it works fine on my 2 BL 15's. That amp draws a deasn't amount of current thoe 240 amps. The Certificate of power for mine says 2745 watts at 14.4volts. My subs are in a 6.2 ft net box at 36hz and it slamms.

Well i got some info on my alternator!! They emailed me and i called them and the guy told me that it looks like they accidentally sent me a factory replacement alt not the 220 amp that i paid for So today when i got home this is what was waiting for me . I took it to Advanced Auto Parts and they hooked it up to their bench and at 1000 rpm he said it read 152 amps so i hope it puts out 220 amps at 2200 rpm like DB says. Boy can't wait till i get my amp back.

Might have bin. I only had the gain at about 3/8's of the way up but when i get the amp back i'll set it with the mm.

Well Bobaflob I think you found the problem for me. Alot of thanks to you Sir I noticed today that when I turned on my heater on (snowing today) my dash lights dimmed like the dome light in the video!! I thought that was odd cause of the high output 220 amp alt I had put on. So I took it to Advanced Auto parts and load tested it and WOW. At idle it read's 14.63 volts -2.3 amps YES negative -2.3 amps not the 110 amps its supposed to and at 3000 rpm it read 14.66 volts 76 amps not the 220 its rated at (D***T). So I think the low amount of current from the alt going to/from the batteries to the amp was the hole problem. The amp wasn't getting the current it needed at high volume to put out the power to run the subs. So now i bet my bl's arn't messed up

Are you going to add hats? Joe

They came in the box with the shirts. I also got 1 with each of the bl's that i got. Joe

Well lookie what ups delivered today .+11 stickers Just need another big fi sticker for the back window

Ya i think its the alt. I.m going to have to see if i can get it tested to see if its putting out the 220amps that it says it does. only paid $279 for it shipped.

The amp I bought it off of roger bridges at crossfire it was his amp so he said that he would get me a RA# and take care of it for me. I hooked the subs up to my house sterio sud channel output but couldn't notice any noise but it only moved them about 1/2". My gains were set a little over a quarter of the way with the subsonic set at around 35-37hz. The box was designed by chris at fishercustomes so i know it was right. With the high output alt and the 2 red tops i know i have enough jouce to run it. I think i might just order recones to be safe if Nick doesn't no what it might be, returned his email last night.

OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS STINKY I wonder what thats going to cost$$$ Maybe it wasn't the subs after all.

Might just have to get the RED Fi logo this time..

Well pulled everything out today. Subs still made the noise in the box but hear nothing while playing them free air . Sending the amp back tommorow to see if thats the problem. I checked out the FI site and now most of the pages work. Even the recone section. The price's are now listed WOW And they released the 2009 BL series :bigclap: :bigclap: Maybe i'll recone to the 2009's just to be safe.

Ya i know i don't think the alt puts out the amps that it says.

Well i checked all of my wires and replaced my grounds and still the same problem with the subs!!! Roger emailed me back from crossfire and said that if the amp was the problem it wouldn't play at all. And i don't have any other subs to hook up to the amp to see if its the amp or subs I pulled the subs again and all coils read 1.8ohm (just got done playing them) They still slam as hard as when i put them in but are making the cracking/poping noise??? I have put the video in youtube so everybody can listen/see them. If they were blown i wouldn't think they would play as loud. I emailed fi about the problem/recone costs but no reply??? Anyone no how much to recone them?? 2-15"BL 2/2 p-chamfer video

Thats what im going to do tomorrow. I think thats what it might be the GROUND i crimped all other connections but that one i soldered it (1st time soldering that large of a terminal) and it looked fine but i guess mybe it didn't take like i thought.

Ok guy's maybe someone can help me? My problem is i was playing the Bl 15's at about 3/4 of the way up and all of a sudden the started makeing a crackling noise? Now i took them out of the box and checked the coils and all 4 read 1.9 ohm (2ohm dvc). NO SMELL EITHER I played them out of the box and NO noise( WICKED XMAX), put them back in and no noise coils look fine also. After playing the same song the noise comes and goes along with all other songs??? could it be my amp? I have the crossefire vr2000d running them A 220 amp db electrical alt and 2 optima red top's 1/0 guage through out. I emailed roger at crossfire who i bought the amp from to see if it could be the amp but no reply. Any Suggestions????

:bigclap: :bigclap: Ok i got it to work Now the box isn't done but it works for now till i can make the amp rack and move all of the wires.
