Hey guys

[R_Mac_1 1]

Hey guys. I found this forum while searching for info on Fi subwoofers. Though I'd join and read up, gain some knowledge. Not a total noob to car audio, but I'm far from a pro. I've installed HUs, wired amps up, simple speaker installs. That's about it. Building a ported enclosure (which I'm thinking about doing w/ whatever 12 I end up getting) would be the most involved I've gotten probably.

Great site. I'll be doing some lurking and a few posts here and there.

Oh and I guess I'll list my set up as it is now.

2002 Bonneville SSEi

Pioneer deh-p6000ub HU

Hifonics TXi-4008 2 channel for comps (100w x 2 at 4 ohms)

Alpine SPX-17ref 6.5 components

no rear fill

Profile AP1200 amp for subs (300w x 2 at 2 ohms or 600w bridged at 4)

2 12" Alpine Type S 1242d subs (one just blew, the other is down a voice coil I think) looking to replace with a single 12

Stock electrical, Fatmat in the front doors and trunk (not a lot though)

Oh and welcome, take a seat and soak up some knowledge

I'm trying. Gonna try to just read a bunch of threads and find some info before I go poking around asking questions. Although I will say I'm eyeing the Fi SSD 12", so any insight into that is welcomed.

But I'll leave this thread for the hello and do some research to find my answers.

Welcome

Well, I decided to go ahead and order something. Went with the Fi SSD 12" D2 w/ the copper option.

Oh yeah, here's what my old Type S was looking like. Smelled yummy.

Welcome to the forum!

Nice toasted coil you have there!

Welcome ....

Yeah. The sub frying was nice because it gave me a good reason to upgrade, but sucked because I was planning on putting that woofer in my other vehicle. (06 Buick Rainer, stock Bose system. Currently have a Alpine Type E in a ported box ran by a Profile AP1000M)

I had 2 Type S in my Bonneville, but the other one already had one bad voice coil.

Welcome, I'm new as well so we are both in for a treat. I like to see an Alpine fan since it is what I currently run (2x 12 Type-Rs)! Good luck!
