RyanJ Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Hey there! I have a few questions. I am going to purchase Fi 15's soon, and I was wondering, do they only sell it on their website? Or can I go to my local audio shop and purchase them there (new). And I posted a post early but I kind of didn't really get an answer back. So I am purchasing 2 Fi 15' BL's fully stocked running on a Soundstream TX12600D amplifier amp. My friend has uhh 2 15's, running the same amount of wattage (2.6k) and he doesn't have an alternator and it slaps and it sounds just fine. People have told me I need an alternator but I really don't want to buy one, so I am probably going to keep the stock. Will the subs and amp be fine? Because his is just fine, and yeah. And if this helps, I'm going to probably be driving an 04-05 Honda Accord Sedan. And 2 15's in the back, and yeah.. Haha so if you can answer both questions about the Fi Subs and the alternator, that will be much appreciated. Thank you. -Jin Edited July 27, 2010 by RyanJin Quote MOB-MOBILE: 2005 Honda Accord 5-Speed System: (1) Sundown Audio SA-15 (1) MB Quart ONX1.1500D (1) Kenwood KDC-248U Speakers: -Rear Dash: (2) Clarion SRQ6932R 6x9's SOLD New MOB-MOBILE: 2011 G37S Sedan System:TBD Instagram (18+) : DabsWitaBudget415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yes you can only buy Fi subs online, AA has dealers that you can buy from. I would get a couple g31 batts for the back if that amp puts out a true 2600w, stock alt should be fine. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Alex K Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 No. You can't go to best buy or w/e and buy a Fi. It's either from the site, or from another member. and we really can't tell you whether or not your electrical can handle it or not. More than likely you'll have big drops running 2 fl fi's. But I know on the 2002+ hondas the alternators a bitch to get to lol. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 depending on your alt, if you have a 60-90 amp stock alt like i had, i would upgrade to a 180 amp alt... ive went down that route on stock alt and around 3000 rms with 2 kinetik 2400s and a 1400 up front, and i still dipped down to low 11s....

And if online, can you give me the site? Thanks so much. Chances are, unless you want some good quality equipment, stay away from your local shops. Youre gonna find hella better deals online and from other members. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

I shouldn't go to my local store and ask them to make me a box? I know some SMD members could make me one, but I have no paypal / credit card... So, Idk how that's going to work out.
