Fi BTL-N3 12" D2 BNIB $390

[dragonrage 10+ year member]

Item(s) for Sale:

(1) Fi BTL-N3 12" subwoofer, brand new in original box

Item(s) Description/Condition:

10/10 - Never used or installed

My cousin and I ordered this for his car, but we screwed up and got the N3 when the N2 would have been better for our application. Fi wants to charge us a 30% restocking fee to send it back, so we would rather just sell it here. This has never been hooked up to power other than any testing Fi did. It has only been out of the box to take pictures.

This is the dual 2 ohm version. It has a blue dustcap. It has the "5" spider and no cooling option. MSRP currently $484 and has a 10-14 day build time. Save $100 and skip the wait!

Price:

$390 + shipping firm. The only trades I really want at the moment are Exodus Audio "X2" subwoofers, particularly Shiva-X2 and Tempest-X2, but feel free to inquire about other trades. Edit: Also looking for a nice laptop 13" to 15.6", Core 2 Duo 45nm (Penryn), Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 processors only. No Core Duo, Merom, AMD anything please.

Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:

Item will be shipped from Massachusetts via whatever method is cheapest to you. Or you can ask for a specific carrier if you want. You're paying for the shipping. It's heavy and shipping is going to be over $50 - Possibly even upwards of $75 depending on where you are. Price of shipping will include pickup from my house, as I can't take time off of work to lug it down to a shipping center. Exception is FedEx which I will drop of for free.

Feel free to ask for shipping quotes, giving me your zip code.

Item Pictures:

(I just noticed that the magnet apparently attracted a little wire tie when I took it out to take the picture... Freebie? haha. Goes to show how powerful this motor is!)

I do not yet have feedback on this site but I do have feedback at Heatware from other forums. I do have my username on this forum listed under my Heatware account: ddfromma | HeatWare.com

The rules say to include feedback link here... I have none here yet, but I'll include it anyway so hopefully my thread doesn't get deleted: dragonrage

Thanks,

Dan

I can check and answer this when I get home from work if you tell me what I should be looking for... Am I just checking to see if the coil is visible through the gaps between the magnets?

Yes.

Whats the difference between the n2 and n3?

 

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

n2 basically like the ufos but lighter, the n3 has a lot more motor force.

What sort of box do these need?

 

[Phoenix Risen 10+ year member]

exactly what kind of power would this take for daily use and burp abuse?

more than you can afford pal.

lol bump for unique looking sub..

Did you read his sig? I think he can push it just fine...

These are quite sensitive subs, about 91dB 1W/1m, so they can actually get pretty loud without needing a million watts. Most 12" subs are more like 85-88dB 1W/1m. However, I believe it is supposed to be able to handle something like 3kW, so I would probably want to be at 2kW+ to get the most out of it. As others have said, "Power handling is NOT a requirement." You do not NEED 3kW to drive this sub. But perhaps you will WANT 3kW for this sub.

That will cool just fine. The only issue may be if the gap is ultra tight -- but I would doubt it's tighter than an MT so it should be alright.

yea, reason i asked is that a lot of single subs wont get along well with my mmats especially for daily use. and with 6.5v preouts it makes it a little difficult to dial the gain back very much.
