fi audio

If you had both subs, which would you install ?

For what purpose in what vehicle?  Please let me know what you are planning to do.

If I had four Fi 18" subs, they would not be in my car but mounted IB in a ceiling baffle in my home theater.

I've looked at fi subs before - there doesn't really appear to be much difference between the various lines- nevermind that each has numerous add-on options and what-not.  I'd choose based on power handling - other than that - fi subs all have high excursion numbers and nice looking build quality.

My impression is that equivalent gear can be had from companies with - uhh - a functional website.  Seriously - if a web presense is your primary distribution method - a broken website sorta makes me wonder about the woofers.

Nice looking woofers I guess - but the broken website seriously turns me off to the brand.

I like the "fi" emblem on the dust caps - slick looking logo.

Here's what I have in moind.  Four Fi 18" speakers IB in the ceiling...

OMG!

Are those your pics DYohn?

What fastners are used to hold the basket against the mdf? 

Would two of those woofers have polarity reversed?

Could something like that would represent some type of long term structural problems?

Putting the grill cloth into place:

No, they're not mine, but I designed and installed the system. The clips are modified mirror mounts, designed so the drivers can be mounted or unmounted fairly easily if necessary.   All four are in phase, at 4 ohms to a 1000 watt amp.  The baffle is 13ply Euro-birch, ODB and MDF.  Fi 18" "Q" series drivers.  No structural issues - except maybe long term.  Capable of flat response to 18Hz and over 130dbSPL.  It's great for watching movies.
