Konaki recone kit

[onebadmonte 235]

Problem is the cooling. It truly isnt a DD sub for cheap. Cooling is a bust on that motor. We can get it to handle plenty of power through soft parts for SPL, but cooling for daily is another story.

Thanks for the insight. Could you elaborate a little on the cooling short comings for a daily application? Specifically what would be the power limit. I'm running a DD M1 about 1200w @ 1ohm. Is that too much for one? I just want to out do my 10 year old JL 15w6's (2) without breaking the bank. Augh! One last Q. What would be the box requirements. Thanks. Sorry about the thread hijack. A thousand apologies to the thread author all the moderator gods. This forum is the best. Viva Fi Audio and the AA H2 Hummer. That beast rocks! Thanks

Well, I learned a lesson, I will NEVER ship a heavy motor in a flat rate box again, I should have just sent in the entire sub in its original box.

I am kind of really unhappy about this . Thanks Scott for the update, I am glad I got insurance on the motor, I should be able to almost buy another Konaki or at least a motor.

Need to send you an email about this one... received the box the other day, with nothing but 2 pieces of foam in it. I put in a claim through the postal service for it and they have a description and are trying to track it down. Apparently the top and bottom of the box were taped with that reinforced tape, but the motor flew out the side of the box. I know you have insurance on it and I need to get all your info together for them.

Bad times with this one... sorry

Ill keep you posted.

Hey Scott, did my money order show up? Could we work something out, like, I send you in a bit more money to go towards a BL?

[UNIT 6639 0]

Or, do you guys now have recones available since you have already reconed Evilbeaver's Konaki motor?

Could I use the money order payment I sent in to go towards 2 10" recone kits for the Konaki motor?

If so, could you guys let me know how much extra funds I will need to send in to offset the $$ difference?

[UNIT 6639 0]

You know what, scratch all that, could I just send in more monies and buy another BL 10"? I am going to order.

Hey Scott/Nick, any update on my kits or the claim filed with USPS? I stopped by the post office that I shipped the motor from, they say they need the box or at least, the info from off the box to file a claim, so I guess its up to you guys to file the claim for me.

I lost my little copy from the insurance I purchased and the woman tried to tell me I didnt have any insurance on the motor, I assured her that I did indeed buy insurance for it and that, if they put the sticky end from the receipt on the box, then they can get the insurance info from there.

Scott, could you let me know the status of the claim when you get a chance, also, if my recone kits have shipped yet or if not, when I can expect them to ship?

I located a second Konaki motor from a friend, so I should still be able to go ahead with my dual 10" Fi/Konaki franken woofer install as soon as I get the kits and the second motor.

Thanks guys

Found my insurance stub in the garage so maybe I will be able to get refunded for my motor after all . I am assuming my recone kits will show up sometime after the new year.

I have a second Konaki on the way , its supposed to be delivered on the 3rd, so I am just waiting on the recone kits so I can begin reconing these 2 motors into 10's.

Scott,I sent you an email about the claim, I went down to the PO and they said I didnt have any insurance on the package, well, I have the stub that says otherwise, the lady also said you would have to file the claim for me as you already stated you would.

Please update me on the situation when you find out whats up. Thanks

Hey guys , could someone let me know if my recone kits have shipped, or, if not, when could I expect them?

Hey Nick/Scott, could I get the tracking # for the recones?

[Fi Car Audio 64]
