  1. Second grade English class...the dearth of the public school system. We learned then that if something is capitalized and has either a F. I. with a period beside it, that would mean that it is an acronym...or it has significant meaning aside from the letters.. Take note that the " i " in Fi is not capitalized... So it should not be pronounced as its own syllable.. Figh is how it is pronounced. If it were Eff Eye..the ' i ' would be capitalized.
  2. I'm not into home audio stuff but every home stereo I've ever owned used 8 ohm speakers so thats one thing that stands out as a problem for car audio application. If they end up being the exact same sub with a different name that doesn't bother me, I just need to know it will still perform the same as the ones I have now. I'm just sick of everything I like going away or changing for the worse. IB car audio may seem odd to you but you have a trunk with room to spare. The cars I build have very little to no trunk space so it's the best option for me. Thanks. That was the first car I used them in and was blown away by the performance. It's a proper IB set up and the subs have seen 15 hz notes without any problems. It was just sounding like they weren't going to be exactly the same product. ..They are not going to be 8 ohm speakers man. They are going where they need to be targeted, and upgraded at the same time. We are not going to "scale things back".. Bottom line they don't belong in a car audio targeted market with 16 year old kids that can afford a 3000 watt amp now. They will still be the same build quality and performance (a bit better actually) and still a single 2 and single 4ohm coil...with other options available as well with having a 6 layer single 4 and single 2ohm coil on the same former to short one and adjust parameters accordingly.
  3. You only have half of your motor force, half of your power handling mostly due to half of the amount of tinsel leads..and the rest of the coil is just dead mass.. Easiest way is to..not do it

    Only do emails around 3-4 in the morning every morning. We don't sit on the computer all day. Send me a picture of it and I can tell you if it is a flat wind or a standard motor. (have to be able to see the gap on the top plate)
  5. You'll pay for that (kidding) We'll note the change..glad you came to your senses on the half ohm wiring thing
  6. It depends.. If we have all of the steel parts available and motors are all assembled two of us can do about 25-27 in 10 hours each.
  7. Oops..meant the second..phone + email at the same time does not work out so well on 4 hours of sleep. My apologies. Relax..it's under control.
  8. February SECOND..not 12th
  9. This video explains how our recone process works. This video explains what happens when you do not include your information in the packaging and just send us random stuff with NOTHING to go on.
  10. Watch the video...explains everything in great detail.
  11. This video explains everything about the cost of the speaker.
  12. NDMstang65 posted a topic in Fi Technical
    All of the links below will link you directly to our box cut sheet page. Keep in mind these are general boxes for daily driving scenarios. If you are shooting for maximum SPL you are on your own. That only comes from trials and testing. X series cut sheets! SSD series cut sheets! Q series cut sheets! BL series cut sheets! BTL series cut sheets!
  13. Video format of our options and what they are and do.
  14. $90 + shipping.. We need to get the HC's coded and up on the website. Email me..hopefully i'll get it. [email protected]
  15. Transient...snappy..like a whip crack?
  16. They're in last place right now :\ Not much more I can do. I think somebody wrote a spoof code on that website as it's 9th grade coding at best and another couple is winning by a country mile now.
  17. Won't hurt it at all at 80Hz..it's fine.
  18. It is not going to explode or anything if you play music on it.. It simply has too much motor force in our opinion to be a worth while musical woofer.
  19. I emailed you this morning..full cooling, probably want to entertain the 4" coil as well.
  20. I use 2 4" aeros for a single 12 personally..
  21. They're 200 votes or so behind 1st place as of this morning.. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase vote! Get friends to vote too!
  22. Not sure how you would call us..we don't have a phone. https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154d669b369df0c/shopdata/0080_Recones/0020_NON+Fi+Recone+Shop/product_overview.shopscript enoceR-X3-ER ER-X3 Series Recone kits for 2005 and older models. Please check to make sure you have selected the correct 4 spoke or 12 spoke basket for your version. Options of D1 or D2 8 layer flatwind coils, extra spiders, or super tough integrated lead suspension. If you select to add a basket, it will be a newer styled 12 spoke. We can not recone the new ones.
  23. ..don't mind us..we just argue with ourselves..
