Looks like a stable sub manufacturer.
Are they sexy?

Lookin for 1000wrms to 2000wrms sub. or 2 12 subs totaling 2000 rms.
I also would need the part that would allow me to still use my steering wheel radio controls
Also an amp, New upgraded alternator to fit s 2003 eclipse GTs with a 3.0 in it. and a person or company that builds custom boxes
To hide the amp and battery.
All my fg to whoever can find me the best setup. That fits my search.
I want a 15 inch sub.
Someone that will custom build and possibly custom paint job on the box.
Ported box.
Also with tuning setups.
Thanks guys.

FI has a very large following in the car audio world. they are very good prices for high quality merchandise.

the BL series or the Q series will probably be what you should look at.

if you are wanting a custom one built and shipped to you i'm not really sure who would be a good choice. i've never dealt with any of them. you can usually just google a box for whatever sub and there are free designs for it if you build it yourself.

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/ has alternators/subs/speakers you can also look into. they have a nice selection.

on the box you can get any color fiberglass you want on it usually. painting it isn't a good choice.

I would rather take a solid wood box to custom fit my eclipse. Just cause I hear fiber glass looses its stability after a short time

you fiberglass over the wood structure. its just a finish and protective cover for the box.

How much per sub are the 18"btl's?
Im el cheapo this time around on subs.
currently using 2x pioneer tw-3002d4 in my suv and building a 1/4 wave with 2x 10" jl w6's
I was gonna try the xxx and got the Pioneer Premier TS-W8102SPL and ended up trading it for some zapco stuff.
the pioneer 154 was insane but it was just opening up a can of worms as far as power and having to upgrade components just to hear over the damn thing.

If they're the 05 XXX's theyre better than BTL's... if they're Soundstreams XXX's or the new RE model then they're junk and handle nowhere near stated RMS exo has already blown 2 of these.
