  1. I vote for 4 incriminator death penalty 12's!!! That would beat the block down.
  2. I just found this. I found ssa doing some through a search engine when I was researching Fi for an install I was doing for a friend. Awesome forum probably the best that I am a member of.
  3. Thats alot of power.. I thought the DP's were only 1500 rms. How much can they actually handle daily for spl?
  4. can anyone give me a link to a data sheet on this thing? I can't find it on the ia home page.

    When running a 16 volt system for my amps, do I have to get a special 16 alternator or do I just put a high output alternator on 16 volt batteries. Also do any of you guys know if the kicker 1500.1's can handle 16 volts?
  6. i could go on & on & on but you get the point... dont WASTE your MONEY they Su@k@ss What about the earthquake line of amps? I have found this one for of the ph5000's for much less than msrp. What do you guys think? Again thanks for the advice. PH5000W/D1 Number of channels: 1/Mono Class: "D" Max Power Output: 5000 Watts Power 1-Ohm: 1 x 5000 Watts Power 2-Ohm Bridged: 1 x 3000 Watts Power 4-Stereo: 1 x 860 Watts Damping Factor: >800 Cross Over Slopes: 24dB/OCT THD: >0.016 SNR: 104dB Speaker Connections: 8-Gauge Power/Ground Connections: 0-Gauge Input Types: Low Level RCA Inputs Dimensions (HxWxD): 2.375" x 10.125" x 15" MSRP: $1,373.00
  7. Thanks I appreciate the advice from everyone. This is probably the most informative forum I am a member of. I can't wait to get my hands on two of those. Does anyone have a link to the recommended box dimensions for the 21's? Thanks again for the quality advice.
  8. Will a massive audio 3000.1 push 2 DP's?
  9. How did you get them so early? Let me know how they do at the competitions. How much of a difference do you think there will be in the output between the 15's and the 21's?
  10. Thanks I can't wait for these things to come out in August. I want to get my hands on a couple of the 18's or 21's.
  11. I have 2 kicker 2500.1s do you think that this sub could handle a 2500.1 daily?
  12. Would it be louder with the sub inverted or traditionally mounted?
  13. If I choose to invert my subwofer so that the magnet is outside of the box, shoould the box be any different than if it were mounted regularly?

    I changed my design and wound up with 3.25 cu. ft. At 32hz it calculated that I would need a round prot of at least 6.85 inches in diameter and 22" long.
  15. basshead08 replied to basshead08's topic in Fi Technical
    That port calculator says that I should make my port 22 inches long. I have heard that having a port that long can cause unwanted noise. Any truth to this? Also it said that the port should be at least 6 in. in diameter. Will that aero port still work even though it isn't big enough or long enough. Also if I use a rectangular port, could I make a 90 degree turnn in the prot in stead of making it one long straight shot?
  16. basshead08 replied to basshead08's topic in Fi Technical
    I have been working on designs all morning. I have reworked the design. I have 3.25 cu. ft. after wood and sub displacement is subtracted. I don't think polyfill is an issue anymore, because I seem to have plenty of airspace. However, I have NO experience building ported boxes. So I am trying to learn as much as I can, because I take pride in doing all of my installing myself. Anyway, I need ideas for a port, I no nothing about tuning so I need ideas for a port. If possible give all specs (size, length,) Box is a basic wedge design. depth1=46" depth2=28" height1=13" height2=5" slope=24.65" Thanks!
  17. basshead08 replied to basshead08's topic in Fi Technical
    Yeah the 1.9 is after all displacements.
  18. basshead08 replied to basshead08's topic in Fi Technical
    Well a friend of mine has one and I am looking at getting his bl12, so I am locked in to a 12".
  19. basshead08 replied to basshead08's topic in Fi Technical
    Yes I am tight on space. I am going to have 1.9 net cu.ft. for one BL12.That is absolutely as big as I can go. I was just wondering because I know that 1.9 is towards the low end of that speaker's enclosure specs.
  20. basshead08 replied to phrito's topic in Fi Technical
    Can you post the link to that calculator on here I can't find the other one.
  21. basshead08 posted a topic in Fi Technical
    I am in the process of building a box and am thinking of using polyfill. I just wanted to know if polyfill works the same with ported enclosures or is it purely for sealed boxes only?
  22. I have decided to definitely go with the dual 2 ohm 12" BL. Can anyone tell me how long the two 4 inch ports should be and would it be a good idea to use polyfil in the box? I have heard some guys use it to "trick" the sub into performing like it is in a larger enclosure.
  23. how deep into the box should they go? I don't know why it posted that twice but also will that port design work with both the Q12 and the BL12?
  24. how deep into the box should they go?
  25. I don't understand how to tune a box. Should the port be round or rectangular? and how deep should it go into the box? Also Can anyone give me advice on the questions I had about the subs earlier? I hate to be a pest but I have always used kicker and other highly commercialized brands. Until two days ago I had never heard of FI but from what I have heard from this and other forums I can't wait to hear what they've got. Thanks again guys.
