Trying to figure out which Fi 12" I bought?

Hello, I am here with the hopes that somebody might be able to help me Identify what my 12" Fi sub is.

I traded in my two 12" crossfires in their box for it at a pawnshop. Unfortunately the guys at the pawn shop didn't know what series it is, nor did they know any sort of specs on it.

I currently have it hooked up to my alpine mrp-m500 amp I had been using for my crossfires, and it sounds great, just as loud as my 2 crossfires were but at a deeper tone. I would love to upgrade to a more powerful amp for this sub, but being as how I don't know exactly what series it is I can't even really guess how much power I can give it.

I took it out of the box and there is no sort of label on it to identify the model or specs. I took a picture of it to compare it to others on the Fi website, but it doesn't really match any of the 12's they have. I think it must be an older model or possibly one of the discontinued BTL 12's. This is my first Fi sub, so I don't know much about them, I do know that they are incredible - so I made the trade regardless of not knowing exactly what it is.

Here is a pic of it, not sure if it will help identify it or not, but hopefully so.

Any input is greatly appreciated - Thanks!

fi btl ufo style

I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.

Awesome, I was hoping it would be a BTL :). I don't imagine it is as simple as looking at it to tell how many ohms it is? I imagine I will need to find this out also before planning on making an amp purchase?

Also,any recommendations on an amp for this guy? Hoping to keep price on amp at 300 or less : / but I can and will save for a bit to buy better if I must.

you can check impedence with a multimeter. and for that price id look into ct sounds or a used amp

Alright cool. Guess I will put a multimeter on it to find out the impedance of it so I can start scurrying through Craigslist, Ebay, and pawn shops for a proper amp.

Thanks for all of your input guys, You did me a huge favor and I appreciate it :)
