Fi Bl Website ?

[CallMeTy]

i was on their site looking at the 15's but what is flatwind and hyper pole? do i want either one of those? and if i chose daily or spl will i lose any power?

[CallMeTy]

and what is the 15 BL peak power rated for

Don't go by peak power. Look at RMS power; it's more accurate, and the rated device can actually take that power for more than .005 seconds.

IIRC SPL subs are build to tighter tolerances and don't perform as well on music; they are one-note wonders. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also IIRC flat-wind coil allows better cooling of the coil and lets the sub take more power than with a regular coil.

The hyper pole also helps with cooling.

I have never worked with Fi subs so don't go by my opinion alone, but I do know that on this forum, a lot of people buy their subs 'fully loaded'-with all the options. I am assuming this makes for a sub that can take more power more reliably.

There is no peak power, but with all the options, except the SPL version(never take SPL if you want to listen to music.)

And if you know what you're doing you can run about 1600-1700W RMS to the Fi BL.

Those options are for cooling.(= better power handling).

Like ktowndriftking said never look at peak wattage, that means nothing.

ok cool.

so if i choose cooling, should i still choose flatwind?

[kirill007]

Yeah if you want to put more then 1300-1400watts to it.

Better to overdo cooling then don't do it enough.(or something like that.)
