    i am an Iraggi whore id say 300 amp amputator...stinger makes decent h/o alts but spendy...iraggi amputator is like 400 for a 300 amp (160ish at idle) i always get the amputator and dominator mixed up
  7. i had tried and tried to remove this dust cap on my other Q cuz i have one with a cracked dust cap but works fine and i have one that looks perfect but the tinsel lead is fried i wanna replace the cracked dc with the good one so when i send it in both are ready to roll when i gets it back.... i CANNOT for the life of me get it off its like freakin godzilla glued to the cone ....100% relentless swear to god any tips?

    how the f do you remove a dust cap

    damn ....i tried using a razor... multiple types... but the adhesive is like a friggin rock and quite thick....i really just dont wanna have to send it in for a simple dust cap when the sub is fine....it just doesnt go with the theme of my car , not messed up... this is the last thing i gotta do besides get a ho alt... all black with very few chrome accents cept the chrome 20s...smoked tail lights tinted windows blacked out grille blacked out amp and i just made a raised sub box logo today FI symbol in silver and the whole setup is lookin quite nice if i say so myself

    How can I get in touch with Fi

    This is going to sound very stupid but how do i go about sending my Q back in for repair... its been messed up for like a year now n it hasnt got fixed cuz i dont really get how to send it back... i have the shippin box i got it in but do i send like a check or money order in the box with it or do i just ship it there and wait till its fixed the pay then or what...thanks ps im sorry for being a meathead

    i got 2 Qs and both need a lil work

    well what i was really kinda wondering is if sent my one in with the burned tinsel leads and spider and you fix it then you just send another dust cap with it when you return ship it...cuz i just got traded my 2 dd 3512es just to fix my q and to run 2 qs.....honestly i just love it the sq is great and people are astounded with the numbers i hit at such low freqs....so i guess ill just send it in and hope i can just pay you for another dust cap and i can fix that myself
  11. alright its been quite a while since i have been on here but i saw that a recone link was added to the fi page....though it doesnt work its still progress.....so i have 2 12" Qs and the one has a fried tinsel lead and burnt spider....the other one just has a hole in the dust cap...i dont know how the kid did it but its pretty large...so what im asking is should i just send the one in and have you guys fix it and just buy a new dust cap then?

    What the....

    i was just doing an install for a kid and he asked me why i had run the power down one side and the signal leads down the other because it was a waste of time and the proper way was power and rcas on the same side... he insisted on me switching it for like 3 hours on top of him already repetedly telling me that his stock ground was by far good enough and i didnt have to worry about it....by the end of that install i just took my money and looked straight at him laughed and walked to my car

    What amp for 12" Fi Q?

    kram3r has a very very good point

    What amp for 12" Fi Q?

    just throwing it out there i know a lot of people hate ED but i was running a eD nINE.1 for like 2 years and i couldnt have been happierright about 1000 at 2 ohm...my 2 cents
  15. Alright so about a year ago a tinsel lead burned up on my 12" Q and so i just took it into a local audio shop and they said that the company up in minneapolis that they go through would fix it for 70 bucks and if it ever f'd up again they would fix it for free...i got it fixed and then it sat for like 9 months ....took it out when i got a new car in may and last week it happened again but this time it burned a hole in my spider and this gay company claims that there is only a 90 day warranty on repairs so now im f'd....even though it is completely their fault and they did shatty work on it in the first place....so my question is how much is it going to cost for fi to fix it.......by the way its a 12"Q d2 run off a eD nINE.1 and i have my gains set with an o scope All i need is a price thanks
  16. i have no idea what so ever on which company it was ....but my local audio shop is audio designs in winona MN and i bet you cant find an error in my setup......still need to know what to do about fixing this sub
  17. never used one....but investing in a tektronix might be a good idea....it was a very nice scope ......but i still need to know how im going to fix this sub
  18. yea they are pretty decent ....they arent cheap though , i think the one we use at school is like $5000 and there are some that are like 8K.......and i have my subsonic set somewhere around 28hz....since you cant really tell on ed amps i just found the denomination for each line and set it ...so it right around 26-29....like i said the first burn up was a fluke...(fluke also makes decent o scopes)...but the second one was this chitty repair job
  19. and by the way they are tektronix
  20. the first time it was a Fi bad but the second it was totally this homo company in the cities.....when they put the dust cap back on it just looks like ass and you could tell the tinsel lead was still not right but i just said f it......the audio shop i went through was so pissed at them they quit using them.....perks of being friends with the people at your local audio store
  21. i have no idea.....i havent been in the lab for 2 months now....i am like 75% sure its a tektronix...but i could be wrong....i went to MN southeast tech for mobile and basic electronics
  22. actually after the tinsel lead was fixed it was done very shatty and it is/was a little loose, and longer than should be and the dust cap was horribly put back on .....and it was my mistake it is a dual 1 ohm wired to 2 run off that ed nine so it is only getting about 950 watts give or take so i would like to know how i am over driving my sub?? If you would like to know the rest of the set up its in a 3 cube box tuned to 27 hz in the back of a 2000 jimmy

    cone tore straight in half

    yea thats cool thank you ...and ps this is my brothers i rock a 12" Q

    cone tore straight in half

    okay so i was wondering what i should do...the gains were set with an o scope, everything installed correctly, box size was good, no clipping ...it literally just tore straight in half...has to be one of the colest things i have ever seen...everything looked right in the box but when i pulled it out the cone was in half..i know there is no fixing it but i was wondering if maybe i could just get a new cone/dust cap put on the old basket ....by the way it is a 12" aresenal......i still have the voice coil and spider and the motor and basket are still in mint mint condition and i feel it would be a waste to just throw it......so can i "fix" it anyway or should i just make a sweet barstool

    cone tore straight in half

    so what do you all think .....it was tore not "striaght" in half but in half none the less....how much would it be to fix it....and is it worth fixing
