This Tuesday the sub will arrive! Yeah! Just looked at my updated UPS. Thanks for your help. Mike

sweet!!! looks great!

Because that would be today! But it hasnt said aything more than billing info received. ? Thanks Mike Cullinan Future Owner of Q 12

Your right. How many dbs do you think that adds to the low end? M

Though It says under specs it goes down to 25hz, they start to roll off at 80hz..

I would, but then I always think Im missing part of the sound because the little thumb dials are never that accurate. So Id rather do it from the hu. But Ill try a few different ways. You know once I start fiddling with equalizers or crossover points, Ill be there all day.. hmm maybe this sounds better, no this... etc. And Ill end up going postal. lol. So less choices are better 4 me. Mike Well if you get a good amp they should be at least decently accurate. It also helps if the crossover on the amp has a small range, like 40-150 hz, instead of one with a range from 40-500 or something. But one thing that you could always do, regardless of quality of crossover markings, is just play test tones. Then you can tell which frequencies are getting cut at which setting, and that way you can dial in exactly what frequencies you want the sub to be playing. I just feel too restricted with only three settings like that. Plus I have mine at about 70 hz to make it sound best with my front stage and all, so those settings would make me unhappy. I was much happier after I lowered it from 80. I have a Kenwood Class D 120w x 4 for the front 4 speakers. I believe Class D has come along far enough to where it doesnt exhibit the issues of say 5 years ago. Great power! And the amp is tiny. Not many bells and whistles though. My front stage is 2x Pioneer TS-C720PRS, which are fantastic speakers! Great mid balance, open, really a home run 4 Pioneer. And I have 2x 6.5s TS-D702P, which are in the bak 4 the guests... Both are 50 - 60 w nominal, but Ive noticed more power is always good I guess you just run into the fact that you could blow a woof or tweet if your not careful. So I will be integrating with the 12 Q as soon as it arrives. Mike

haha!!

Nah your right. And Ill end up doing it anyhow. And it does take months of listening! Mike

I read a few different responses on where the Q 12s will play up to. 1 said that it goes to 100hz evenly, another only 60hz. Ill probably do 80hz because the front speakers roll off at 50 or 55 hz. SHould be here in a few days! Mike

I have the choice of 50hz, 80 hz or 100hz. Im not sure if my door speakers do 50hz though... (these are choices from my hu) Ill say maybe. heh. Any opinions? Mike

Very nice ... looks like a quality product! How do they sound? M

Looks like a quality control issue. I dont know yet but Fi has a pretty special buzz on the net these days. Its good to keep the customers happy! Positivity breeds profit. And as for the contact issue, that has to be nailed in the uhmm, u know nailed down. Its part of the business. Customer service. Perhaps hire a male secretary who knows about subs. Male cuz what lady is gonna know. I mean I barely know. And Im a MAN baby. Woah did I get off track. Anyhow, good to know this is getting resolved. Mike

OK Everything has been handled. Fingers crossed. Now I just have to wait for UPS! Mike

If your roof warped while you drove, cuz of the subs.. that would get you noticed. Not sure how many watts of power that takes though.

Scott switched it so its one ohm... but now I was reading about the Bp option which I got, he mentioned on another thread that you lose a little SQ with the option, and Id rather have the SQ. So I emailed him again to see if I could get rid of it.. hehe. Im a pita. I think its my last thing... Anyhow I didnt read anywhere it saying with the Bp you lose some SQ. But Ive seen the videos on Youtube with the window and metal of the car rolling from the sub. Funny stuff. Though I dont need that. Maybe a lil roll. Mike

About the Bp option. Thanks. Mike Cullinan I just put this here because Im not sure if you are receiving email or not. Peace

Thanks Scott! Didnt get the email.... Ill check again. So I hook it up in series to get 2 ohm? Im stoked!!!! Thanks for letting me know. Mike

I did. Ill wait a little bit and see what turns up. Mike

With trying to get into contact with Fi? I sent an email to orders@, sales@, scott@ & nick@ trying to make sure they change the ohm version Q sub I ordered. And I called the phn # from the PPal receipt and no answer. Any ideas? Mike

Or... I could look at the Sundown. Whats a good one to get? With 1 ohm, I dont need a special battery do i? Thnx

Thanks guys.. I hope they get my email. Or Ill be pumping 300watts into that puppy! heh, Peace. Mike

OK I emailed both orders and sales to let them know.. that I dont know hehe! Switched to the 1 ohm version. Mike

OK so I need to get the 1 ohm version? Thanks. Mike

I figured I might as well get the Bp, even though my mono amp only has 600w into 2ohm, not 1 ohm compatible. Maybe it would explode idk? Anyways I hope I got it right... I hook this up in parallel correct? Thanks. Looking forward to seeing how good this thing is. Im all about SQ, not looking to warp the windshield like some of the vids. hehe Mike
