I am very supprised that noone has mentioned his electrical. Stock electric with a sax 1500?!? I almost garantee that is the problem. You probably have a huge voltage drop. Did you do the big three? 1/0 awg powerwire? If you dident, I highly recomend you do

Also, dose anyone know any good 6.5 components? I found these crecendo audio ones for 99 bucks but I am a little sceptical about them because normaly carbon mids ate not thAt cheap. Are they any good or are they not worth it?

so this is my first build log so don't flame me if i am doing it wrong, ok so here it goes so i got my first 18", an Fi audio q on Monday and the thing is a beast! here are some pics amazing packaging from Fi if haven't seen it already the box i am building for this sub is a 7.5 cube sealed box and if anyone is wondering what the dimensions are it will be 35.5wx22dx22h the box will have a 2 layer 3/4 MDF baffle as you will see in the pics. and i got the box cut at southern lumber in san jose ca. it cost $10 to have them cut the whole box. much better than freehanding it with a saws all. anyway here are the pics test fitting all the pieces gluing the front baffle together Random ht project i am working on too well thats it for now i got to go to our local relay for life the rest of the day. more pics tomorrow. hope you guys like it.

Iv been around 205 round a track in a ford gt. Wasn't drivn thou, I was 13 then. I was scared shitless.

Subaru wrx boxer best performance for what it is I think

I wouldent get any if you just started driving you should save your money.

recone time!

One of my friends had a similar problem, the problem whit his is was that the speaker wire was starting to break off of and only a couple strands of wire where in the terminal so you might want to check that.

I would go with the q if your strapped for cash. I just got one and they are beasts! But I have a question where did you get $390 from? My 18 q cost 294+ shipping.

Good stuff man, this is turning out to be one impressive build caus most people I know, would never have the guts to paint their own car. Good luck , hope the bad weather let's up over there

So I just finished installing an fi q 18 in my car! Thank you Fi for such a beast of a sub. Pics to come!

It's realy install dependent. The q's can definitly get real low in a seald box. I got a q 18 and it gets loud and low. But still in the end it is all about buildig a quality box to get the sound you want.

What are your goals?

There will be soon, just need to figure out how

So today I just receivied my first 18!!!!! An 18 fi q!!!! When I saw the size of my box I just gaped At it. It was just huge! The size of the sub is even crazyer. The thing is enormous! I was realy not expecting thing to be so heavy. So far the first impressions have been great so I caint wait to build a box for it. Fi is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is just too funny lol!!!

Box size should be around 2.5-3 cubes of space ported or sealed, hope this helps out. As for th t/s parameters I got no clue

The options like Cooling are part of the actual moter, they don't come with a recone

Use goo b gone. The stuff works wonders when removing sound deadeners.

Nice job man, can't wait to see the finished product

I just wanted to know if it was possible to make a sonotube enclosure for an 18" fi q. It will be powered by a aq 1200d. I just want to know if it's possible or will the tube flex too much

Don't worry, you'll get your driver in the time they said it would take (as long as they aren't on backorder for parts, but i believe thats only on the btl?) Fi and several other companies have a tendency to not update their tracking information, or so it seems. A lot of people order their stuff and start to get ancy as they think it hasn't been shipped yet and the next day its at their doorstep ya i guess I am geting too eager to get it Ok so I guess there is nothing to worry about.

Ok so it has been 10 days seince I ordered an fi q 18 and I have not received a update on shiping information. Is fi backed up or is somthin up with ups?

If I was to add second batterie to my system, would I need a batterie issolator or will I be fine without one.

The sub comes with 2 sets of wires welded to it. Thats the first time I've seen a sub like this. One pair is red and the other pair is black. Both the reds are fused together and both the blacks are as well. It appears to be at 1 ohm but the guy I bought it from said it is at 2 ohms and the only way to get it to 1 is to send it too DD directly and they will wire it down and charge me $120!! to do so. WTF right? The sub sounds alrite but I know it will hit a lot harder at a 1 ohm load. And sorry, but I don't have a camera to post the pics to show how it looks. Any advice? mesure it as it is and if it says 2 ohms, your out of luck it's probably a dual 4 ohm and it is imosible to wire it down to one without a second sub. You need a dual 2 ohm coil
