I have, Fi subs are great.I've never heard anything bad about them.And they have something for everybody.Fi Q's for sq,Fi BL's are a all around everyday beater,and the BTL is for spl.These subs will handle more than there rated,anyone will tell you that also.The only people that hurt these subs are peoplerunning them with 2-3 times what there rated.I've had a 18 bl,now have a 18btl.hopes this helps.

Yes, FI is a good company. The BL will be more focused for output then sound quality if that is what you are looking for. So don't expect it to live up to the W7 for a mix between output and sound quality.

A loaded Fi Q will sound just as good as the w7.and probally beter.The fulley loaded Fi BTL,will smoke any w7 in spl any day.Try yourself 1 fully loaded 18"BTL with the daily option,you will never need another sub.You'll be proud to pop your trunk.

I disagree. The W7 line offers several advantages over the Q series that will give it the edge. For one thing it has a far superior suspension system. Fi makes compromises to keep the price down. The W7 doesn't which is why it is so expensive but such a great performer. The question you have to ask is do you want a Mclaren, or do you want a Mustang?

yah since my system is more sq oriented. probally gonna stick with my w7.... man people love to hate the w7 but i love my w7. sounds very good and performs as it should. handles all music very well. can take everything the 8100d can throw at it too.
The FI subs do look very impressive but in order to fit them in the proper box i would have to loose the back seat and upgrade the charging sysyem..again.. add batteries,etc,etc.
so maybe another day.
