I made an order on Feb 24 for a long sleeve tee and a hat, and I still havnt recieved the order. The tracking info still says "pre shipment info recieved" or whatever, still in Los Vegas Nevada, and hasn't update at all. Can any Fi people help me out? Would be much appreciated

I was at wal mart the other day picking up some speaker wire for an install i was doing for a friend. I was looking at the HU section just out of curiosity. I found a unit that is made specifically for iPod/iPhone playback. It had a FM tuner, aux in, and the faceplate flips down with a iPod/Phone docking station. I put my iPhone on it to see if it would work with it. It charged my phone and played the music just fine. The price on this unit was 100$ even. I know dual is probably one of the most frowned upon audio companies out there.. but I've been looking into a new HU with a budget, and 95% of my music is played from my iPhone, so I dont need all the fancy features. For the price, it seems like a nice deal. What are your alls suggestions? It would be for temporary use anyway until I get some bank for a nicer HU.

I think next time I'll just get a blank black hat and have my mom embroider the Fi logo on it.. I just like to support and rep companies I like.

What does a backorder of magnets have anything to do with my t-shirt and hat...? pretty sure those don't need a custom build...

If Fi can't handle all of the business coming their way, why don't they get some more help? I understand how busy Nick and Scott are, but it looks like there are a handful of people in the same boat.. It's obvious they can't keep up with production and customer support at the same time. The business is growing, so should the number of employees to even everything out.

I have a cheap 300w amp that I plan to run to my doors and 6x9's in rear deck. I already have a run of 1/0 to my 1000w mephis amp. I was wondering if it is a good idea to run a short run of about 12-16g wire from the power inputs on the mephis where the 1/0 is, and from there to the power inputs on the 300w to keep from having to put in another run of power cable from battery to the trunk. I tried this already just to power the amp and it worked, but I didn't have any speakers wired to it. Would this be logical, or would it mess something up?

I tried to email. No reply. And sometimes they look at these forums and reply. I was just using my sources.. Since direct isn't seeming like an option.

Touché. And it's now the 9th, still no package, and still no shipping status update on USPS.

I vote 1 8" funky pup wired to .25 ohms.

So I will have the dist. block near the amps, with the 1/0 going into it, with another run of 1/0 from the block to the sub amp, and a smaller size from the block run to the comp amp. Correct? I think I got the idea. Thanks guys!

Where would I put it? My bat terminals have a couple outputs (1 1/0, 2 8g), but the whole idea here is to keep from running another cable down my car. Just keep it all in the trunk

x3 on the big 3. A H/O alt isn't going to do a lot of good if you have stock cables from alt to bat and bat to body/engine. Get some 1/0g power cable and replace the stock Alt to + on Bat, Bat - to chassis, and Bat - to engine. That will improve electrical flow from the alt to the battery, which will obviously increase the voltage from the battery to the amp. If that doesn't help, then you should probably look into secondary batteries. But before you go there, check all wiring. If you got the D1 BL, make sure you're not wired to .5 ohms. I'm not sure if your amp is .5 stable, but if it is, that could be an issue. If it wasn't, the amp would go into protect mode. If you got the D2 you should be wired to 1ohm and should be fine.

I mean I don't mind the wait, but I've made 3 purchases from fi before and they were all shipped faster than this and the tracking worked from day one

I have 4 12" RF Punch Z's in a sealed box. There are 4 different chambers in the box, one for each sub. (Approx 1 1/2 cuft each) I'm wanting to port this box to make it louder with PVC aero ports. My questions are: 1) Should I put a different port for each chamber/sub? or Should I take out the walls between each chamber and just port the whole box as one? 2) How big of PVC pipe will I need to effectively port the box? Id like the tuning to be as close to 30-35 hz as possible. Doesn't have to be an EXACT tuning 3) Where should I put the ports? Here's a couple pictures to help with what the box design is:

I'm not wanting this done for me, or I wouldn't have bothered with this question, I would have just went ahead and built another box. There's a guy that is buying these subs from me, but he wants me to port THAT box first. So whether it's ideal or not, I have to do it. So I just need to know the best way to do it

Here's the model number - RFZ3412

I have a guy that has a brand new in box Power Acoustik A1800DB amp, and he's wanting to trade it for my used Memphis 16-ST1000D. A 1800 watt for a 1000 watt.. I know PA isn't as quality of a brand as Memphis.. but it seems like a good amp. Any suggestions of whether or not I should follow through?

Thank you guys.

I managed to get my hands on 4 old school Rockford Fosgate 12" Punch Z's yesterday in about a 4ft^3 sealed box for 30$ and a pre-fab sealed box for 2 15's... Just for kicks and giggles, I put this setup in the trunk of my Grand Am hooked to a 1000w memphis amp. Drove up the street playing "I'm Raw" by Lil Wayne, turned the bass knob up, and just about S*** myself. I was absolutely blown away by the performance of these things! They don't look like they could blow the dust off of the dustcap.. but looks obviously aren't everything. For 30$, I'd say I've found myself a great temporary daily setup until I order my Z15. I'll record a video saturday while I'm off work to show you all what they can do. Just felt like sharing my story

I don't have the other box. I traded the box (for 2 15's) along with the 30$ for the RF's and the box for them.

FINALLY got around to getting a couple pics and a vid for you guys! Sorry about the wait.. school + job.. ya know 14.9V And here's a little video:

Why not just go with the RF 15"? I don't see why you'd rather spend the same amount of money on a 8" sub as opposed to a perfectly fine 15". It's not like you don't have room in that caprice for a sub that big. You could get the HX2 and build a nice ported box for it and be very satisfied off 1kw. I mean it's all personal preference, but I can just see the 15" outdoing an 8" off 1kw. especially if you're looking for SPL.
