no fair! what day did you place your order?

HOLY SHIT! thats hella! thats alot more than what i was thinking.. now you guys arent just throwing these subs that are backed up together without your guys quality craftsmanship are you? haha.. just kiddin nick we all know you guys take pride into your work..

LOL im to excited,, how many subs can you guys make in a days worth of work anyways? just curious..

Nick wrote "We were filling orders from the 12th yesterday and will keep rolling until we get caught up."

yup nick told me yesterday that they were processing orders from feb 12 on monday.. and thats the day i put my order in was on the 12th so hopefully today will be the day

that is what she said to the energizer bunny! LMFAO!

Heyyy are you the guy i gave Fi's number too??

I cant believe this thread is still going

yup same here mine still being processed going on three weeks :angry22:

I hit a 150.3 with 2 18" BL's in a junk box that was made for 2 15" (just cut the holes to 18") and on 4000 watts give or take some... if i had a bad ass box made for the 18's and my HO alt i have now i would of gained least a DB or 2

Voted!

OHHH shit that means my should be getting shipped out then soon :woot:

well if thats the case i want 4 FI logos on my subs

Bad ass sub and amp!

Yep i got an SSD with blue chrome sticker and its got a bubble in the F that wont stay down.. nothing like the orginal's that were painted on but the colors are cool

Yes I did get a tracking number for each sub. The one that hasn't shipped is still listed as 'Order Processed'. Still wondering what's going on. Your 4th one is the very first one for us to build when the magnets get in. All of the steel parts are sitting..waiting..wishing to get out of here! Whaaaat? are the neo magents for the 15" the same for the 18" cause im waiting on my N2 18's!!

you have 480 volt wallsockets LMAO

sure glad they helped you out with one even you admitted it was the amplifiers fault..... must be nice

personally i think nick is wrong on the soft parts not being fragile in the cold..... for example i just reconed my BL 18's not even a month ago and was slamming on them and it was in the single digits outside and even below 0 sometimes and i cracked one of my spiders.. Nick tries saying it was cause i was playin below tuning and blah blah blah subsonic filter needs to be set higher yada yada yada when i dont EVEN play low shit on my system especially nothing below 30hz thats for damn sure.... of course thou its never the manufactures fault always the consumers... since ive owned the BL's before i reconed them for over 2 years with NO issues... We have been using that spider since before the days of RE, we know the limitations of that spider..and exactly how it breaks and what causes it. Here's the problem. You do not KNOW if you are playing "low shit on my system below 30Hz" You could have reverberations in the recording or a pop/click of the mic that is at 8-10Hz that you can't hear (granted it should be filtered out, but who knows if you even had the filter on)..it can happen so fast that you do not even know that it happened, yet you keep playing the track. The quality of the recording of a track can make things do stupid stuff. Loading in the enclosure can cause issues..if a sub is not 'behind' a port and one is 'behind' a port then you have 1 woofer that loads completely differently than another one. One will move more then the other one will...resulting in your situation with the popped spiders. The BL only has a 1.8" tall coil, and a .9" tall top plate. (xmax of 18mm 1 way linear travel) The spiders do NOT lock up until 30mm in ONE direction...when they lock up they pop like a potato chip radially across the weave of the spider. So you are definitely playing below port tuning frequency, with too shallow of a subsonic filter...OR your tuning is off (which is more likely because resistors have a set value that is defined by mathematics..a port length has far more human error in the equation) Those spiders only pop when they 'lock up' or move past the mechanical limitations. When you move it past 30mm (or so) you begin to form right angles radially in 4-6 spots in the spider (generally 4), at that point it makes a 'crease' in the phenolic resin and when you keep hitting that same spot on that same song it eventually pops and rips all the way through at that stress point. Sorry you feel that we should be held responsible..those spiders simply do not have issues, they have been the same spider we have been using for 12 years, with the same materials and everything. It does not have issues unless you push it past the mechanical limitations.. It is no different then a tab on a coke can. You can bend it back and forth within its limitations all day long, when you start moving it PAST the limitations it then pops and breaks at that stress point. The temperatures here have absolutely nothing to do with it. You are not going to shred a spider in the states..it does not get cold enough. Alaska now, that could potentially be an issue as they get down to 30 and 40 below zero...but I doubt it very seriously...the spiders are made out of poly cotton, the same stuff your t-shirt is made out of... Actually it was -28 the other night... and i wrote you an email asking you if it was myth about subs having a break in period some say yes other say no throttle on them.. i will believe it was from being cold and "NEW" cause like i stated in previous comment i had my BL's for 2 years with NO ISSUES and ive been listening to the same kinda music, basically the same songs "no joke" and they didnt rip until i put a JBL6000a GTI on them.. "2 years later" after they were beat to shit.. and WAYYY over powering them,, but i had the RF40001 on them before that for 2 years not a problem.. but hey you build them i buy em so you obviously know more than i do..

Hello im Marco, I was the one that inquired about the amount of x 10's that were still available. I wish you had said the words "quite a few" in your reply to me, because all I got was an unassured answer, if you had told me there were 3 or 4 left I would have them sitting in front of me by now, but instead I invested my money into some Diamond CM3's (back when Diamond was still worth a damn) that im looking to get reconed. Instead you talk about Chinese tolernces and what you think you may or may not know. Oh btw, here's the email to refresh you since you were'nt sure of what I WROTE in the email. I'll just take my chinese subs and my business elsewhere, looks like you dont need it with that attitude. From: Fi Car Audio Sales <[email protected]> Marco, I think we may have a few left. If you order it and we do not have the parts we will simply refund you. I will probably pull them off of the website today or tomorrow. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks, Nick Fi Car Audio ----- Original Message ----- From: Marco To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 8:34 AM Subject: Black Fi Day Sale Are you guys still doing this sale, because it's still up on your website, but someone on the SSA forum said you had no subs left. I was interested in getting 3 or 4 of the old 10 inch x models. Pleasde let me know asap, im very interested. Thanks. Marco LMFAO well he was being honest with you diamond audio are JUNK and take your chinese junk elsewhere if you would of just bought an Fi sub in the first place you wouldnt be stuck with a huge ass ugly paper weight

Should of just ordered the cone and did it yourself...

I'm just here to say that you probably won't get an exact date because problems may occur just like they did for the N2's. They're re doing the whole motor on the subwoofer and sometimes not everything goes as planned and things have to get rescheduled. Dude he is not going to give you an exact date like your the only customer who spends money with the company, dont come at them Fi like that. He will have a date when he is ready to release them or the product is ready to be released,4-5 weeks from now check in with him. Do you really think he will give YOU an exact date? YEAH NO SHIT like hes gonna be like march 1st 2011 at 25 hundred hours standard daylight time... BE THERE!!

elemental can go suck it!!!
