atomic audio.

i called the office.. and WOW... what a huge problem.

33 bucks for shipping if I SEND THE SUB TO ATOMIC to be reconed....

31 bucks just for shipping if atomic mails me the soft parts so i can recone the sub my self....

then of course the soft parts alone are 50 bucks... so 83 bucks for ME TO RECONE a 100 dollar sub...

sadly this is the end of the line for me and atomic audio.

o yeah.. and the glue failed that hold the former to the spider... i ask what kinda glue they use... he told me its different special glue... and he does not know the name of it... and on the bottle it only reads "speaker glue"

so its special "speaker glue" that no one else uses. and no one has ever heard of and its better then the rest,

now i dont mind paying to get a recone kit.. 50 is a little high IMO.. but ok.. but to charge me 31 bucks to ship me the soft parts... thats high..... and its only 3 bucks more for me to ship a heavy sub! come on.

That is crazy Jon, What's the speaker that needs to be reconed? I'd give PSI a look and see what they have to say.

or Fi.

Basically every recone costs 80-100. I actually haven't seen many if any cheaper than that.

[Tyan 1]

thats not so bad...and it doesnt matter if the value of the sub now is 10$ .... well ...with the recone u get a new one and if u think the sub is not worth it >> u dont buy it !

here in Europe ... DD2515 recone = 200$

Atomic's shipping prices are just a little out of line!

I have not spoken with Atomic since they mistakenly shipped the last 4 1800.1's (which I ordered) to the wrong continent (2004).

and thats why im so mad....

the recone i dont mind paying for....and if he would have told me 30 bucks shipping i would have just decided if i wanted to spend 80 bucks on it,.

but to tell me its the same price wether hes shipping 2 lbs or 40 lbs get real...

and the sub is not worth less now... thats the price of the sub new if you shop well.... not what its worth after all these years...

and the last part that pissed me off he tells his dealers they have a 3 year warranty... so make sure they use that as a selling angle...no on offers a better warranty

when i talk to the guy about warranty he got all offensive and then quickly told me there is no warranty on anything,....

its cool im just gonna spend my money so where else... im gonna try to do a hybrid on this maddasuka

Was the guy's name Randy?

[jonbearsmt 919]

Was the guy's name Randy?

cant even remember... i know i was told to call back and ask for gorge the owner.. but i dont think im gonna.

[Kanaworm$ 292]

That Randy is a real piece of work! I inquired about product roughly 4 years ago and got got 2 different prices from Randy in the same email. I said F' that and searched the net and found Sundown, SSA, IA, Fi and other great companies.

Atomic looks like they do shady business!

[hondakilla98 29]

Atomic has a manufacturer forum on dsbp. You could post up there. And see if you get a better answer in public.

i tryed... i got no where.. he post on his other topics.. but never not mine!

[hondakilla98 29]

Well now I know to stay away from them.

[jonbearsmt 919]

yeah the more i ask around about them the more i find out.. and none of it is good....

sucks too because i was looking at the apx line and the ele

[Impious 1,476]

Considering how many companies will not sell a recone kit to the end user, I supposed you could be happy that's even an option they offer

This is my attempt at optimism

^^ Agreed, I know for a fact that Alpine doesn't recone woofers, nor do they sell them (Which sucks because i know a kid who wants to give me (4) 15" Type-rs)

This randy guy does seem a taaad bit shady.

If your calling Atomic ask for George, he's a good guy, and makes a good product. The problem is the poor quality control from their build house(SJA) so he ends up sending half of the product back to them :/
