Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:07 am
Recently i acquired 4 FI car audio X 10" subs, there entry level. first the specs
Subs:
courtesy of Justin Thorton aka teamsubgopoof
There dual 4 ohm coil woofers with standard cast 12 spoke basket and standard pulp paper cone. standard for entry level woofers except most cheap woofers use a stamped basket. overall i was very pleased with the ascetics and they seemed pretty beefy for 10's double stacked magnets and 2.5 coil. 300w RMS
Amp:

2 crunch GP 1600.1
each running at 1 ohm at about 800w.
gains set correctly sub sonic set at 28hz and low pass 65hz.
Enclosure:
Built by Joey C
1 large enclosure dived in 2. each chamber is about 3.25cf
2 aero's per side tuned to 30hz
resin all around and glassed corners
review:
my first impression was WOW. these little subs were getting insanely loud and getting very very low! but upon testing i noticed one of the subs ticking loudly. upon further inspection i noticed the tinsel leads were longer than the other subs and were slapping the cone. i emailed Scott at FI and in less than 20 mins he informed me that the sub will be replaced free of charge. now even with only 2 of the subs running and one of the GP 1600s im in the low 40's with noticeable ear pain. the subs are playing insanely low and sound incredible. u all know me and i love the loud and will sacrifice sq and tuning freq to get them loud but in this case i don't need to. even at 30hz these subs make my ears hurt. im throughly impressed by even FI's lower level subs.
ill update later with numbers and when i receive the replacement sub. ill post pictures later tonight.
