Fi X 10" Review

[Accordman 0]

First off let me say i'll be totally honest and say i had very low hopes for this sub, as the previous owner had already told me what he thought about it. I bought this sub for the price of $40 dollars form him without a dustcap, contacted Scott and he was kind enough to send me a dustcap for the sub.

I tested this sub in a in a sealed off trunk of a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro

The test Equipment was:

Alpine 9835

kenwood entry level 6.4 coaxials

Kenwood entry level 6x9s

All speakers inside cabin running from deck power

Sub amp MTX 500d ( i know its over the RMS of the sub,buti honestly wanted to see if it would take over the RMS and the only other amps i have are 2k RMS and above)

The box i decided to build for it was a ported enclosure consisting of 1.3 cubes net 19sq in of port and tuned to 33hz.

The first listen was in the camaro, and i was very curprised at what i heard.

I putin some 38 special (classic rock) and the sub was very responsive to the quick drum beats of the rock genre, Next i tryed Journey - Who's crying now i honestly myself as a "high dollar sub owner" couldnt believe the amount of sound coming from a little cheap 10, it was very acurate and loud for what was playing. Welli thought to myself, "well it sounds great on rock music, i bet rap is where it falls off"

well it surprised me once again, it went though the whole Young Jeezy album (The Inspiration), Bass Mekanik - Quad maxximus-,and E-40 - my ghetto report card albums with flying colors. the dustcap did rise just a bit over room temp but i was slamming the crapout of it over RMS. my only letdown, is that its not loud enough for me, buti think its more just me being used to more, i cant expect the world out of a 350RMS sub.

through the frequency ranges in the Camaro setup it seemed to shine from 30-48ish hz, over and under the volume was slightly decreased but not enough to make me frown upon the sub.

Overall for my personal listening if i was looking for a 10" substage i would seriously consider this sub if you want somethign clean sounding for a great price, $119 i believe is what Scott told me they go for. If you want somethign loud i would say either buy multiples of these or look higher up in the Fi library of subs.
