Hate to break it to you but that flatwound coil will NOT fit in a copper coil gap. It will sit on the top plate... I hope you didn't order it already..

Is it possible to tool a LMS style 22" basket? The S.M.D. basket? Sure...but it becomes a return on investment issue... You are looking at a ballpark of $50,000 for a die cast tooling like that...if not more. Allocate that..over a period of time..and we've got to sell 250,000 of those or so for it to make economical sense. I've got other solutions to the problem to keep the cost down to the end guy, but doing something of that nature does not make sense from a financial standpoint. We'll do what makes the most financial sense to do, having something like that stuck on the balance sheet throwing things off that do not return as fast as other things simply does not make sense at this point and time.

We did that tooling and had a bunch of issues with draft angles and such...we're going to look into another option when it makes sense for us to do so..as scott said after 1st quarter 2010 I didn't like the way the 12 spoke turned out after doing stress testing on it. But this is why you do testing like that..so something that is going to fail does not make it to the market. In house failure is fine as it isn't ever in the consumers hands. We'll see what this year brings

Current BL is 220mm.. If you can fit that then you can fit the Q.

It's probably going to shift once you put power to it... Which is why you always check things from UPS as soon as you get them. Please send it in with all of your contact information...once we get magnets in we'll get it built back up and out to you.

Dealers cannot stock 300 different versions of a BTL that we can build . They are both 'different'..and unique in and of themselves.

Yes D2 is universal. Thanks!

is that the aq2200d? I've heard of nuuuuuuuuuuuumerous problems out of those things. Thanks for the compliments as well!

Few things wrong here... 1) bass boost. 2) subsonic filter. Bass boost 'Boosts' a certain frequency when it hits...if you are already over driving the amp it will cause it to 'try' to do that 6dB of boost...even though it cant do it. Subsonic filter on that amplifier is on or off at 25Hz if i remember correctly at 12db/octave which is a VERY shallow slope. Using that amp and no other filtering means you could tune your enclosure no higher than 28Hz. Otherwise you will be playing full power far below tuning of the enclosure..in turn yanking the soft parts to/past the mechanical limits of the suspension... We've had a few Q's burn up on those amps because of this exact problem. To think it only costs a manufacturer 3 bucks to make an adjustable subsonic filter on top of the one that they already have simply baffles me. We make long coil high excursion subs...we do not want to take a different approach and put 30 spiders on the subs and use a 1" long coil...which results in no excursion... Please email [email protected] as I am out of town until January.

Your BTL is the first one to ship once we get the second order of magnets in...it was never going to go last Thursday because you were the very first order for the second shipment of magnets to be in. Thanks!

Taken care of..you should have an email back.

Will be available to dealers January 1st.

Need your name and order number (Should be a I-31309 type number)...It may have left already.. I can't do much with a screen name Please email it to me Nick at ficaraudio.com

Everything is coded on the website..you are given a total prior to entering your credit card information.

Yes..Scott hurt his back and needless to say with him down and out I have not touched email...I will definitely get you taken care of on Monday.

It depends upon application and the user. Generally 200-400 watts...

Glad to have you back

And see people melt them with a jl 1000/1 or something like that blows my mind Can't control the loose nuts behind the volume knobs.

Didn't see this.. What did you need a recone for? Please shoot me an email [email protected] and I'll get you taken care of. Thanks!

New ones have a rebate in the backplate for a sticker...most new ones have the hyperpole option as well. The old BL's pole didn't extend too much out of the gap. The new pole is much taller as well.. You can order either recone right off of the website.

The new motor is 220mm in diameter, the old one is 190mm in diameter.

Loaded BTL 18's with NO spl option..daily gap. Coils you choose depends on the amp.

do i select the upgrades and will it only charge me normal price? Or do I just add a BL and you guys will do the upgrades for me at no charge? If you click the drop down box the options say $+0 where they normallly say +40 and +20. So yes, click the boxes. It will not charge you for it and the machine shop and build shop knows what it is that you are getting.

The sub is in a 3.0-3.1 cubic foot enclosure tuned to around 32-33 hz. Im running it of a JL 1000/1. I was playing songs like "soul survivor" Akon and Jeezy. If you blew a BL on a 1000 watt amp it's without a doubt the gains, tuning, "SUPER BASS" setting on the head unit and the loose nut behind the knobs Speakers are stupid...they do exactly what you tell them to do

Clipping LED's are worthless. Unloading occurs when you play below the tuning frequency of the port of the enclosure. If you do not have the subsonic filter set 2-3Hz below the tuning frequency of the enclosure the amplifier will play full power to the sub. Once you go below the tuning frequency of the enclosure the port no longer resonates and acts as if it were a big open hole in the box...you do not burn coils from this. You break things mechanically when you unload them, you do not burn coils. Resulting in yanking parts..popping spiders etc. If you burned the coils and/or tinsels up you are clipping them. Regardless what that little LED says. The only way to know that you are not clipping is via an Oscilloscope.
