    16 New X 12's in action

    Nothing to woofer porn man..subs barely move with the amount of power on them Thanks!

    No UPS tracking number?

    They changed to Fedex and they had a solution for not having this issue..so it doesn't send to you until it ships.

    my New Sp4 reads 2.2ohm With 3 diffeent DMM

    I'd say most likely it's already on the way, no need to do a paypal claim and all of that stuff...they are not going to rip you off man, relax.

    Have the X series subs been discontinued?

    The new ones aren't quite available just yet. They are a solid upgrade from the older ones though

    Received Q18, terrible packaging

    Tens of thousands of subs have been shipped like that...there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Every now and then one will take a dive off of a belt or something and end up getting broken, in 6 years we've had less than 15 claims.

    16v is far from idiot proof...it can be much harder on amplifiers especially if you try to run a lower impedance.. 14v system is ideal, but I run 12v with a shit ton of reserve. You also must run a separate electrical system from your ecu on your car..otherwise you'll burn stuff up

    The Next 5 Years For Subwoofers?

    My crystal ball says it will continue to be a hoarde of 'look what i can do' and 'oh ME TOO' people. ..innovation..not much, the industry can barely handle/tolerate what's currently on the market as-is.

    dustcap 10" ssd

    99.9% of the time when that happens the subs are moving too much and you've snapped the surround tight and de-formed the cone body causing the dustcap to come off. The 10's are all put on with a glue that is like the 'amazing goop' or 'e6000' that you can get at any hardware store..kmart..walmart etc. What amp do you have? Where is your box tuned? Where is your subsonic filter set?

    UFO BTL's with 6 spoke 18" baskets

    You definitely don't want to use a longer coil wind especially with a linear roll spider. Linear spiders by nature suck after about 12mm of movement..they just don't work right. It's almost as bad as a poorly designed progressive spider that pops/cracks etc. 10x3 spider in and of itself just isn't the greatest idea

    **Is this under warranty?**

    Odds are you burnt the leads up..the subsonic filters suck ass on the rockford amps. You'll have to pay for a recone..warranty does not cover open or burnt coils, just manufacturing defect.

    Happy burfday Nick!

    thanks thanks!

    Blown 15 btl recone

    No, they are totally different subs. You can not make a N2 into a N3 by reconing it.

    Feelin' the love guys..thanks!

    "ufo" style btl magnet boot cover

    Haven't had any of those for years since we/they quit making that style of motor. Sorry.

    Interesting site...check it out

    Actually he said outwardly the motors appeared to be similar. That says nothing about similarities within the motor, and frankly he doesn't even give any external measurements of the motor itself to confirm they are anything more than similar in appearance. Also, if you look at the actual measured T/S parameters you can see they are different drivers. The Xcon has a higher Q, lower Fs, lower Le and higher Mms. Plus the Xcon has slightly more linear excursion and I believe higher thermal power handling as well. It is still an Fi copy with a couple alterations. Quoted "Any differences from the Q are probably in the voice coil itself and the gap geometry and possibly the pole piece machining." Coil is different, suspension is different, magnet ID is different, dust cap is different, gap is different, pole piece is different, back plate is different, cooling is different. You can step off of your soap box now. -the guy thats built hundreds of them.

    shipping to canada

    They have changed to Fedex recently any how..I don't know how the brokerage fees are with them.

    shipping to canada

    USPS lost about 12 packages which is why we quit using them many years ago..because they would not pay to replace them.

    weight

    I spent 2 hours in the chat last night explaining this to you..you have mayhems.
  22. No. You can not change them, they are what they are. You will most likely have to purchase new subs and sell what you have. I doubt if Am will have what you need on the shelf.

    B2 xc side by side with SSA zcon

    That's a soundstream xxx basket fwiw. Not the frame that Fi uses / owns the patent on.
  24. If what you have sounds fine for the application that you have it in, then do not mix the woofers. You do not want to have a standard qts and a high qts mixed in together..it'l cause some weird things with the response curve to happen.

    Sub Break In

    nothing but myth..they break in over time, just play them and set your subsonic filter properly
