give it a binky. or a bottle. or a good spankin.

yea i just found it today i was looking in teh how-to section, not int he amp section.. i think it should be moved!!

im in the same situation, and im tuning mine to 32hz aswell. since were tuning to 32hz, is that "low"? in other words should we aim for 2.5cuft box?

i hope this isn't a repost, but i haven'ts een it so far that i've been on the forums. anyways post your fav demotivational pictures. heres a couple of mine. k well i thought i had more on photobucket. i guess not but post yours! i'll put some more favs later!

yea that

yes please =] T.B.C. ??

im probably gonna hit you up in the future when i get some money doc i got a 12" q now, im gonna build a ported box this spring break and see how i like it ported. if it's not enough i'm gonna go up to a 15" q, or get another 12" q, or try out some SSA stuff. probably a Icon. i really don't know yet. but you HAVE to get vids up soon dude. cause i'll be making my decision quick. but i agree i love my Q i couldn't be happier with it's performance and it's not even broken in, or tuned all that well yet! my gains are all the way down cause i never knew how to do it untill recently. this weekend i'm getting it all tuned up. long live Fi! oh and on your story note, i've gotten amazing responses from mine too.. mine cute little 12 keeps my gf from driving with me, she always wants to take her car but yet she makes me drive it cause she doesn't like to drive. can't complain, its not my gas =]. and as far as friends, up here in alaska, atleast at HS, systems aren't a bigggggg thing, but i know pretty much all teh kids in town with something besides a walmart pos sony. and they got RF, Alpines, JL, and they never heard of mine (i'm the only person in south east alaska with this sub) and they all are amazed with how it hits sealed, i can't wait till it's ported and i kill my cousins 2 12 P2's. i just played White girl in his car today for the first time i've heard it on a system and his first time hearin the song. it sounds like it's wayyy to low for his setup and the higher note hit it pretty nicely. i checked the hz on audacity just now and i think the low note is 32hz? maybe i'm wrong and i didnt do it right.. i hope i did cause i'm tuning my box to 32hz. and it'll be amazing.

wait till you see the black....... im gonna go out on a limb here and say your not gonna tell us what paint you used are ya? i've seen it asked atleast 2 times, and you skipped both of them hahah. thumpers got a new secrettt

k, i got a couple more questions 1) when i'm setting my gains up. i watched a couple video's on youtube, and some used a DMM (how i will do it). some people went to 40volts, some went to 60volts.. which should i go to? or how can i figure out what i should go too? 2) test tones, when setting my gains, does that matter a whole lot? should i use what ever my box will be tuned too? on the demo video's everyone used 50hz. 3) enclosure size, i'm abotu to build a box for my 12" Q, and the recommendations on Fi website say 1.8-2.5 cuft. what will the different box size sound like between 1.8cuft and 2.5cuft? like a general rule of thumb would be nice

x2 +1 you beat me too it. but on a serious note didnt your mom ever teach you that everything with bigger cooling/magnet units (idfk what they really are, the big donut looking things with wire rapped around it) on the right are always better then the exact same thing just mirror'd? geez, people nowadays! no common sense.

not to be naggy, but here's a reminder that you've got mail. it's titled 12" Fi Q request! i beleive. could ya get back to me please. i know you guys are all busy at Fi making the best products i've ever heard.. so on that note, YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES!........... just kidding. thanks everyone at Fi for amazing customer service and products! *sticks up beer* ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy, OI OI OI! good day.

maybe its just me but i have a 15" Q and no one rreally gets out or anything. theyre like DAMMMM thats loud as **** and their expression is priceless but it doesnt really hurt unless i keep it loud for awhile.... should i turn my box around so it all fires into the cabin? it's all on personal preference more then anything. well besides a good box install. but if they all think it's loud as fuhh, thats all that matters right? i mean do you really want them to get out of the car? hahah

What have you found to be a "sweet spot" for your 12" Q??! i'm running a SAE 1000D to it at 1 ohm. with BP option. i'm looking for both sealed and ported enclosure sweet spots. share your views here. by sweet spot i'm talking about where it makes you jizz when you hear it. come on don't hold back. i want it to be loud, but clean and tight, just like our women!.. well with the exception of the loudness, thats no good with the ladies lets hear it!

awesome, anyone else have any sweet spots? ps where can i find WinISD?

How low does "true" rap go? he sounds like a non mainstream rap kinda guy. they're the only ones i hear ever say "true" or "real" rap and they are reffering to everything outside of mainstream, except 90% of them all listen to lil wayne no matter how much crap they talk about him true story.

what a badass he just told john, a super mod to eff off. good luck coming back aroudn these parts dude. just lock this before it gets worse, this guy doesn't deserve any of our knowledge the way he's treatin everyone that's helping him.

so i see occasionally people mentioning Audacity to check what kinda hz some songs are hitting, can anyone link me to a decent video that will teach me how to go about that? i did a quick search on youtube and i couldn't find anything. i didnt try google cause my internet decided not to like google right nwo and take foreverrrrrrr to load. so could someone please tell me, or link a vid, something to help me out here.

+5 roofles for you that's perfect.

ahh i keep meaning to post more. but i forget, maybe i will tonight if i don't fall asleep. would i sound stupid if i ask who tom is? i don't quiet know everyone by name on here yet.

^^ hair ball?

what kidna numbers are you hitting? and that is in the trunk yea? it's moving alot more air in the cab then i woulda thought would happen from a trunked single 12.

so i did a quick little search, but i am a bit slow and tired and i didn't find anything. i haven't built a box before, nor helped anyone build one.. but i've pretty much decided for my first box to tune it at 32hz, and on the Fi section of the forums they recomend "1.8-2.5 cubic feet".. what does each mean, like how do i know what i prefer. basically waht i'm asking is when the box is smaller, what does that mean? tighter bass? higher notes (roughly)? what. and then it recommends 32hz, so i'm going with that.. but how do i tune it to 32hz? i don't understand how to tune it using the box. or is it a setting on the amp/sub. if you couldn't tell i've never done this before, gotta start somewhere!

speakin of trucks, i figured i'll pipe in on my parents ol classics my moms truck - 1967 Chevrolet K1500, partially restored, don't know much about it. and my mom isn't home so i can't get details for ya my dads truck - 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne, in the process of being restored. new paint yadda yadda, same with details here. i'll get them later. my dads toy - 1982 Chevrolet El Camino, 504 big block, process of being restored. new (old) paint. won last years car show and it's not even restored yet. custom interior dash and new bucket seats, not done yet.. my mom can't decide if she wants to restore her K1500, she just got it this summer so she's not really attached to it yet. but if we were to restore it completely we could easily sell it for 35000. they're all sooooooooo sickk, i'll put picks up of the truck later, i won't be able to get the elcamino untill next week when i go down to the shop. what do ya all think?!

tune low... give me a ref number bud.
