I have 2 fi ssd 10's bought them 6 years ago had them installed for about 5 months, then sold my car. I finally reinstalled them about 6 weeks ago, and for the first time put them in a box that would really let em shine. Well the lead wire ripped off on both subs, the positive terminal on both was severed. But on one sub the entire speaker terminal housing was completely ripped off! I've tried to email fi, but got no response. These subs have barely been used and now they're broken. What can be done?

So how did I use them improperly? I used the box specs recommended by FI, using less than recommended power, I'm not using these for spl comps or anything, it's just a daily sub. Is it possible my amp may be clipping, my voltage is definitely lower than optimal, head lights dimming. I find it hard to believe that these things just can't handle the excursion. I will post pics later today or tomorrow. One of the speaker terminals is just hanging there!

What about fixing this? Will fi repair it? I bought these things march 12 2007, exactly six years to the day. But they have barely been used, I would say less than 45 hours total.

Can it be fixed? How can I prevent this from happening again? They sounded so sweet for the few weeks I had them.

I have a fosgate power t1001 rated @1500 watts @ 1 ohm. The enclosure is 1.25 per sub tuned @33 hz. The shop that built my box has the subs right now so no pics, he's testing the impedance to make sure the coils are good.

nice setup man I have the same HU and also use kappa's for front and rear stage they sound nice I am waiting on my ssd's to get here to get the low's in. what kinda car you got with that big ass box?

ok so I'm trying to decide between the RE se 10's or FI ssd 10's using a fosgate 100001bd 1400 watts rms @1 ohm they will go in a sealed box in my 03 silverado ext cab under rear seat firing forward I have heard the RE subs but have not heard the FI but i here good things so any ideas? the box will be 2.4 cu. ft. total so 1.2 per sub

alright guess I'll order them tomarrow

ok I hate to sound like a noob but I've never delt with restricted space and a sealed box before so the box I've had built for my 03 silverado ex cab is for 2 10's firing forward under rear seat it has a total of 2.4 cu. ft. so after displacement wich is 0.12, cu. inches per that should give me about 1.08 cu.ft of airspace per sub right.The box was originaly going to have 2 RE se 10's but have since decided to try the ssd's since they have similar specs and recomended airspace, and I dont want to F*** up so thanks in advance for any help

well as far as running 2 dual 1 ohm subs off that amp yes I asked the same question yesterday as I am planning on running 2 ssd dual 1 ohm 10's on the same amp

ok thanks. thats what I thought but have never ordered dual 1 ohm so wanted to make sure before I order

ok I've decided to go with 2 SSd, 10's running off a rockford t10001bd so will the dual 1 ohm subs run at 1 ohm brigged?

ok noe other question dose anyone know what the warranty on the ssd subs are?

just sayin whats up
