    Fi N3 PRICES!!!!!???????

    I'll make it bigger for you too to make sure that you can see it.. Consdiering a 20 dollar hunk of neo previously is now 114 dollars..I wouldn't be bitching if I were you. It's still cheaper then anybody else on the market, you can go pay 1800 dollars for a Z series woofer if you would like...that's known as raping the consumer. The price is only adjusted to the cost of materials going up..which EVERYTHING has gone up. We ate it for quite some time while I was there and the reason was waiting until the SP4 and Team versions of the subs were available, or near available. If you don't like it..it's as simple as not buying it. Go pay 1800 dollars for the Z series woofer or 1000-1200 dollars for the DC neo woofer. Also, To the "You need to sell at OEM prices" argument. Absolutely not. OEM work does not involve anywhere near as much work as the Fi product line does. OEM clients buy hundreds of speakers at a time and they are all the same which makes it easy to build and do. Margins are VERY VERY VERY slim doing OEM work in the USA so you have to sell hundreds and hundreds of them in order to make a dollar.. I don't know about you, but I don't think you would like to bust your ass for 10 hours a day and walk home with 50 bucks in your pocket. That doesn't exactly pay the bills and earn you a living. (and no, i don't work there any longer) troll on.

    I answered you..go read. If you do not like the answer, i suggest you ask the yard gnomes...they have all the answers. The staff can give you a vacation if you would like to continue trolling as I gave you the answer to your question...if you're unable to comprehend it..that's not my fault.

    Voice Coil rated to handle 1k degrees F

    nah..not if you have cooling technology that works ..biggest problem that we had was people burning tinsel leads up due to those lovely cheap korean high current amplifiers..we only had a handful of coils that people literally burned them up, most of that was due to wiring a coil out of phase or an amplifier taking a dump and killing the sub with it

    Voice Coil rated to handle 1k degrees F

    not watching the video..but i figure its probably a ceramic coating that is over top of the coil, precision has done it for a number of years but it does not do a whole lot of good because if you surpass the heat point of the glue that binds the wire to the coil under neath of it it will just bubble and slink off like a slinky.. it may work great when it's not in motion, but when something is put in application things changes a great deal. neat stuff though

    Stickers coming off of brand new n2s

    Can't do anything about the vinyl..the stuff just isn't sticky enough with the metal type stickers

    How to master the art and science of acoustics?

    Transfer function..they are farther away from you. Same reason why eldridge had speakers behind his headlights in the 4 runner
  13. That amp does power at 1ohm most likely (depends on the model) You would need a dual 2ohm coil wired in parallel to 1ohm.

    Sundown or zcon's.

    No..the baskets are Chinese as well..minus some of the 18's, same for the dustcap and ferrite. Nobody else uses American forged steel. Nor do they machine anything in house or offer any 'custom' viable 'options' that actually enhance performance..

    Nope. If you don't want it there you have to cut it off

    If you knock the glue off of the screw heads with a screw driver and get one of these it's easy. http://www.harborfreight.com/impact-screwdriver-set-with-case-37530.html

    10" RE MT recone doesn't fit 12 spoke basket

    You don't have to do all that..just use the gasket

    10" RE MT recone doesn't fit 12 spoke basket

    No..you do not move the spiders, you use the gaskets to stretch the surround down to the basket and to center it up. 10's just suck ..it is what it is.

    OD on the top plate is too tight for our coils if I remember correctly. I think our thinnest coil on the OD is 4.230"
