cool. I just searched for fi q series. I found the website. It's ficaraudio.com

 

Is that where you ordered from?

 

Sorry bro. Yes that's where I purchased it from. Turn around time is pretty quick too...

 

Man. That site is too detail for me. I don't know which speaker to choose. All I know is I want a single 10".

 

go to "speakers", they have 4 lines of subs. Click on either "BL" "BTL", "Q", or "SSD". They specs will be listed...

 

Yeah. I got that. I just don't understand the technical side. Don't know which sub would be best for me.

 

i think the BL and BTL are for SPL and the Q is for SQ

 

+1

 

yes they make 10"

 

i can help you

what amp are you using
what final load do you want
what music you listen to
what is your budget
sealed or or ported

 

Well, I was busy this entire weekend so didn't have a chance to complete the install. I did make small progress though. I test fit the new 2inch mounting bolts I purchased recently, through the sub's mounting holes. The bolts did not work. The outer rim of the sub has a rubber ring that is about 1/4 inch thick. Theoretically, the head of the bolts is suppose to sink into the rubber out of sight. In my case, the bolts I purchased have a large phillups head on them. It was too large to sink into the rubber ring. The old allen head bolts I had are only 1 1/2 inch, which is too short.

I made a trip to Lowe's harware and found 2 inch allen head bolts. They fit perfect. Hopefully tonight I can complete the install.

I snapped a few pics of the FI Q vs. my old Rockford T1. I used a can of Neverdull for size reference......

 

OC and i were speaking of the length you need

2" will be close

2.25 or 2.5 " will be perfect

the black rubber piece is called a gasket

 

the RF looks very made in China the 12 spoke FI Looks so custom made by Scott in Nevada

i love 12 spoke

 

I could not locate anything above 2". It's ok though, the T-nuts I have are 1/4 inch long. The added length of the T-nut will increase the length of the bolt, so to speak.

 

Yeah, you should be good with the 2"

 

I most likely will be using a JL 500/1
final load???
a variety. some rock, some hip-hop, some electro
200-300, maybe more for a nice sub
sealed


I don't want something for extreme bass. I would like something that sounds good. I do want a sufficient amount of bass but not overboard.

 

I still haven't completed my FI install, but I'd say that FI subs are on the extreme side. Definitely not your everyday common sub IMO. In my case, the kind of bass I'm looking for is the kind that moves your shirts and impairs your vision..

 

Fi Q
FI SSD
RD Classic
RE se or sx

all would work sealed off your 500 watts and be in your budget

 

Wouldn't running 500watts rms into a FI Q series severly underpower it? I believe it was said that "underpowering a sub causes more damage than over powering it".

 

Thanks.


I don't think they make a 10" FI Q though.


Who makes these two? RD Classic and RE se or sx......nevermind. I found em.
