anything? anybody? could sure use some help

like the title states, looking for a Fi ssd motor (from the newer ssd's) if anyone has one laying around or a blown ssd or a fully functional ssd if the price is right. Somebody help me out! thanks guys.

weather has been pretty bad around here the past few days, haven't had a chance to put up new pics. Ill get them up as soon as the weather clears up.

Cant post any pics on the forum for some reason, here is a link to the pics though. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwOZAwj8bbxWemFmbkdDaENMeWc&usp=sharing Ill post pics of the finished product later tonight

I think I'll stick with the 3rd order, seems to work fine for me.thanks for the input. I'm in the process of designing passive crossovers for my tweets going into my a-pillars. tweets will only be receiving roughly 20 watts a piece so I think i should be safe with a 1st order crossed at 4k. and yes pics will be coming very soon. also have some pics of the box build process i want to show you guys. Im sure some will pick at my design, but thats ok I'm willing to take the heat haha. thanks guys.

Cool that's what I was hoping after break in period. Im using an active 3rd order crossover set at about 115hz, seems to be the sweet spot for this setup. Is there a such thing as using too steep of a crossover slope for a low pass? amps use a 2nd order slope do you recommend using one over another? Again I really appreciate the input THX you've been pretty cool with me.

welcome, I'm new here as well (been lurking for months). Everyone here seems to be very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable to me. You will probably learn alot from these forums if you stick around.

Well guys had it installed last night and I have a say.....WOW! this thing gets LOW! I am very impressed with this driver. Didn't quite hit the higher bass notes like I expected (50 and up) but I guess that might have something to do with my cabin gain (car peaks around 38hz) and also might need to break in a little more. other than that I am completely blown away by this sub just as I had hoped. Thank you all for the input and reassuring words. If anybody else is thinking of purchasing this driver just stop thinking and buy the damn thing haha. I would like to get some more opinions about how to deal with the lack of output/impact from the higher bass range (50 and up). Should I just let it break in some more and see if it picks up?

Sub was delivered at 9:45 this morning, exactly 1 month from the day I ordered. (I ordered around midnight on march 15) I'm at work right now, So I'll get around to installing it around 8 tonight. Oh man, I can't freakin wait to get this thing going. updates to come.

The W7 did seem like it was in somewhat of a small box. Didn't really bother to ask about box volume or port tuning. port area seemed to be a bit on the smaller side maybe a 2"x12" slot port? Even so I can't really seem to justify paying $700 for it. might as well get two sp4's or a TEAM haha.

Will do, should be good to go by the end of the week.

thanks for the input guys. Got in touch with Nick. Sub will be at my door on wednesday . I've heard nothing but great things about Fi's quality subs. I will take everyone's word for it and really hope i am "Blown Away" by this sub. I even spoke to a local car audio shop that mainly deals with JL audio, and the owner says he has personally dealt with Fi, Sundown, etc. says the stuff he sells doesnt even compare to what Fi and other custom subwoofer companies have to offer (and he sells w7's, which by the way I wasn't really impressed with anyway) I've heard a rockford T2 12" that just absolutely dominated the w7. I wonder how the T2's compare to the Fi ssd? anyhow really really really anxious haha. I can't wait! thanks everyone!

Do you know if they are still waiting on parts?

First time Fi buyer! Just finished building and installing my new box for my SSD. Everything is ready to go except..... no subwoofer. I was told by Nick within the past two weeks that it would ship around last friday. Status on the website has said "awaiting fulfillment" for the past 16 business days. Just really anxious to get this thing. People say they are definitely worth the wait, but I have never heard one before, and don't want to finally get this thing and be "not so impressed" 2.3 (net) cubes tuned about 35hz with roughly 35 sq.in of port. will be running on a p1000.1bd. My hopes are high and don't want them to be crushed after this long wait. Any idea of when I can expect this beauty to arrive at my door? thank you all
