Simple Fi audio question

[BayAreaSlaps408 10+ year member]

So here in my room I got bnib my Fi Audio BL 12 D2 w cooling and flatwind coil options. Took a month to get but was well worth the wait. I Also got bnib a SQ Q2200.1 and was wondering if I over did it... I know the BL is 1500rms and heard it can handle more but was wondering if 2200 is too much n if you think I should down grade??? Just would like someone w experience or info of what you have seen these things take n if I'm good or asking for trouble??? Would hate to see such a beautiful peice of equipment go up in smoke n I'm sure Ya'll would agree!!!

Any info would help, thanks

Is it a stock bl? It's a dual 2 which is really a dual 1.4 so series it 2.8 If your that concerned. Also maybe make it that you can rewire the coils outside the box.

Ps does Fi have a website?

It's DUAL 2 ohm vc or 2.3 if u want to be technical and was going to run in parallel to 1ohm. Ya fi has website, just Google fi car audio!

The dual 2s sit at 1.4 and dual 1 sit at dual .7 You put a mmultimeter on it yet?

2200 will be fine on it with gains properly set.. Might be a good idea to wire it in series to break it in and see how it does at that powa and as stated make your lugs so that you can change the load outside the box.. But with properly set gains and a little attention to the subs smell and behavior and you will be fine.

Never down grade lol that's what the gain is for get a dmm and set for 1500

Just learn to turn the volume down. There's no reason BL can't be run on 2000W amp, but you'll just need to know when to turn it down when you smell the coil and learn it's mechanical limits in the box.

Well on my old set up I would only run it turned up on my way home from work which is about 15 mins and on my days off driving around running errands. It WIL be hard to smell coil tho since I gotta 4 door sedan n my rear seat don't drop down.... Sux.....
