    FI Q-Series / Newbie many Questions!

    I believe international orders go through Blade Ice.. I have a Q and love it....If that amp puts out anywhere near 3000w I don't think the Q is for you. And you said you really don't care about the quality so I would recommend a fully loaded BL or even wait until the new BTL comes out and order one of those. You're going to want to run 0/1awg wire also.

    How good are these speakers?

    I can vouch for Boston speakers. I've heard them in two separate installs and they just blew me away.

    How good are these speakers?

    Well, you've come to the right place for help. I own a Cadence amplifier and I love it...so far. I don't have any experience with there speakers however. I do have kappas in my car and I LOVE them. But, as always, wait for some more people to give you their opinions!

    watts

    Okay, I have a question. I really don't know how to word this, but I think you guys will understand. Okay, so I saw the thread a couple weeks ago (I think it was JimJ) and he was talking about these really big speakers his friend ordered. There are pictures of it in a garage. He then said it gets painfullly loud with only 7watts....That's whats confusing me. There is something I'm obviously missing here. How does it get so loud with only 7watts? Thanks

    Creatine

    If you were training for track I strongly, STRONGLY, recommend not taking this. I'm not sure exactly why, but this chit makes you cramp. If you are doing hard sprints and such, make sure you're taking in a lot of water through out the day. Why?

    I'm thinking about an Fi Q.

    I have a 1000wrms amp along with a 40wrms amp in my car right now. I have 0/1awg running the power back to a dist. block where it splits off to 4awg. The big 3 I would recommend for sure, but if you're willing to put the money out I would also run 0/1awg back to the trunk. You can't go too big on wire, only to small. Someone else will tell you if 2awg wire is fine, I'm not too sure.

    need to break in 4 spiders

    Hate to jack this thread, but can someone tell me how you go about plugging a sub into a wall outlet. I don't plan on doing it, I'm just curious.

    I'm thinking about an Fi Q.

    I agree with muddybass. I have a Q12 and I LOVE it....It gets plenty loud. Since you live in a warmer area I would definitely get the cooling with it too.

    Fi Q15 Enclosure Halp!

    I honestly think the hardest part of building a box is planning it. After you get everything planned and measured up on your MDF its just cut and paste....err...rather cut, glue, and clamp! I had zero wood working experience when I build my ported box and it turned out great! So I'm sure if you just ask someone to draw you up some plans (which is what I did) you can whip together a box in no time.

    Fi car audio

    Although I haven't had experience with ID, I am the happy owner of a Q12". I can't imagine someone being unhappy with one.

    Being polite as a gym member

    I love the gym I belong to at home. It is kinda small, but it's not a mainstream gym. Just a Mom 'n Pop gym, and older couple owns it. The people who lift there are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. There are bodybuilders down there and power lifters, so whatever you want you can find! Also, I hate, HATE, the YMCA gym in my town. If you try to go in anytime after school until nine its always a bunch of 12-13 year old kids being idiots. Another thing I have against it is: If you do ANYTHING other than a curl, bench press, or squat everyone looks at you like your crazy.

    Diet Pills

    Diet pills scare me. I had a close neighbor who ended up dying because of diet pills. This was when I was much younger so I don't know much about what she was taking. I do assume it was an ephedra based supplement though. I have nothing against any supplements though, to each his own. As far as fat loss goes I think the best way is cut out the sweets and hit the cardio!

    Stemulite

    Yeah, it really does seem too good to be true. Who knows though....I haven't seen one person who actually tried it...haha...maybe if I'm bored this summer I'll take it and let you guys know....we'll see though.

    Bulding a box for my X 12's.

    I thought the same thing about "0 chance of building a ported box." I asked around here and someone gave me plans for a box. I have NEVER built a box before that and mine turned out great! So if you're interested in a ported box I wouldn't completely throw it out the window yet. It really wasn't that hard. As far as building it goes. Titebond III and clamps are your friend! The CutID is the hole you want to cut for mounting your sub. The SubOD is the overall circumference of the subwoofer I believe.

    which should i go with? re mt fi btl aq hdc3

    If you do decide to go with Fi I think that BL's would be a better choice right now (with the power you currently have). I have 1 12" Q and it pounds pretty good! I would wait for more opinions though.

    Google Web Accelerator

    I used to use it for mozilla before I reformatted. I have 3Mb DSL so I really didn't notice a difference. Although, with a slower internet it may help. Doesn't hurt anything to use it though. <3google

    Tell us your personal fitness goals

    I know this is kinda late, but my goals (by the end of July) are as followed: Currently 5'8" 165, would like to be about 175. Get my mile time under 6 minutes. Get my bench up to 250 (again). 30 body weight pullups 10 deep dips with 95lbs around the waist. Bodyfat around 7-10% I think if I could get all that back again I'd be thrilled.

    Small sealed encl. for 12" Q??

    I have my Q in a ported enclosure right now (2.3 @ 32Hz I believe) and I'm in the process of building a sealed enclosure (1 cuft). I should have it done this weekend so hopefully I can let you know what I think about it. It's just hard because I'm in college right now so my time is limited.
