Here is my basic setup I have now, looking to see what you think the difference will be after all my new stuff is in. Currently in my 02 Tahoe: 3 MMatts 12"s P2.5's in a very nice custom box actually made by MMatts themselves! (nice for living in WPB at the time) 1 MMatts D1100.2 amp (running @ 2.6ohm for "ABOUT" 210watts per sub POS head deck made by panasonic HU powered Pioneers in all doors NEW SETUP 2 Fi Audio BL 18's (fully loaded) Making box custom for my tahoe and tuned for these speakers (still in the process of figuring this out) 1 AQ2200D amp for 1100RMS watts for each 18 2 yellow top batts in rear, 140AMP alt from GM that I got for nothing, and works GREAT! (14.1-14.6 idle) JL A4300 for door speakers 6.5" Components for fronts (havent decided which ones yet) pioneer for my rears but now getting real power from the amp with the new sub and MUCH MORE power, the bass hit should be harder right? Dont get me wrong, my 3 12's freaking hit really hard for what they are, but im looking for just insane car shaking now, and am hoping the 2 18'S will get me this. Thanks

OK, order completed! Just ordered my 2 18" BL's from them (over the phone) went with the following options: P.Chamfer ----------YES Daily or SPL---------Daily Cooling--------------YES Flatwind-------------YES Extreme Lead-------NO Can I now say I own "FULLY LOADED" subs LOL? ( I keep seeing people say this )

WOW! I sent them en email with my contact number, and I just now got a call back from the owners wife, and let me tell you, she is a sweet heart! Very nice on the phone, fixed my order issue, and should have my 18"s with in 2 weeks or so. So far, they seem excellent at customer service. Now, I just have to fabricate a box........

Cant seem to find a telly number on their site, and I keep getting a PAYPAL error upon checkout for my subs, but of course this is after I entered my CC info, I dont want to get double charged, so I need to call them. Anyone have a tel number for them? Thanks

of course, I just dont have the "know how" to have it come out perfect, unless of course I had a diagram to copy!

Looking for a large box that will slam 2 18" BL's for my 02 hoe. Looking for speakers facing up, port back. Anyone have anything? thanks

I think im going to stick with the Fi BL's. I know what these sound like. I am going with the AQ2200D amp

Being that i've heard a 18" BL i've been sticking with these for my next month build make over, but I came across audioque and there HDC3 18" speaker on there website, and it is CHEAP!, are they any good? What would you choose for absolute SPL and hopefully some longevity 2 18" Fi Audio BL's fully loaded OR 2 18" AudioQue HDC3's? Thanks

love the horn tweeters!

What is the difference from "daily" to "SPL" Thanks

The 2 18's each with 2x2ohm coils will give me a .5 ohm load after I wire it properly, that is why I would go with the D3500.05. 2700rms power (/)2 gives me 1350 per speaker, however mmats power I believe is rated @ 12.6v, so @ 14.4 (with my new 250amp alt) should make 90amps @ idle, and give me at least 14.5+ steady with load, so power should be at least 1500+ watts per sub. Can someone help me with the options on FI's site, want to get this ordered the right way the first time, and ya'll know ALOT more then me. Thank you

Great, thanks guys, FI it is. Can someone help me out with the "options" on the FI site. This will be in my 02 tahoe, looking for spl, but daily driver. I'm typically not hard on my subs, but need them to last a while. I will be using a mmatts D3500.05, so i'm going to get the dual2ohm v.c's option, but need help with the rest if possible Configure Speaker: Ohm: dual 1 dual 2 P Chamfer: no yes +$10 Cooling: no yes +$40 Flatwind: no yes +$20 Daily or SPL: Daily SPL Extreme Lead: no yes +$5 Universal: no yes Also, how much of a bass hit difference will these be (assuming BOX turns out right) compaired to my current 3 12" MMATT's P2.5's? I will also be doing the "big3" upgrades as I have a 200amp alt on the way. Thank you for your time...

I live out here in west freaking GA, and have been talking to several local stereo shops to build me a ported enclosure for my 2 18's "BL" FI audio subs (if I get them) however, here is where my issue comes in. First off im old school when it comes to this stuff. Back when I was really into Car Audio I was in high school, and the US Amps where king, so I of course had a VLX400 and a USA-800 (both the 44" length models) powering 2 stroker 18's and it fu*cking knocked real hard. Talking to all these local stereo shops, they ALL RECOMMENDED me to the same guy to build the box, however, in talking with him I was told to get the RD Alpha2 18's as there a better speaker, however I have heard a FI BL 18, and that was a great time. Basically my question is this: For the price FI is cheaper, but has anyone heard of RD audio and is it a good quality speaker? This is my first post here so please take it easy on me . Thanks ya'll
