Spider glue on a Fi Q 18

[manrossdamn 57]

I think it's just me, but there are some random gaps if you will.

I have some pictures from my slr that i'll upload in a while.

Just want to make sure theres nothing bad.

Thanks

Anyone?

The circumference looks fine except for those two areas..

[slim2fattycake 85]

over excursion, it looks like.

[Kanaworm$ 292]

The triple joint is glued on both sides. I think you should be ok. Hopefully Nick or Scott will see this and respond.

I would have to agree, What are your box specs, what's your amplifier, what is your SSF level set at?

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Has that been used before?

[bimmerboy 3]

its brand new iirc.....

does it sound fine?

+1 on hearing from the people @Fi

[manrossdamn 57]

Brand new from FI

Just shipped in yesterday.

It's been free-air on 100 watts at 30hz for slight break-in

I didn't see much excursion over half a inch

Looks like someone forgot glue on the outside.

[manrossdamn 57]

Awh man.

Is it worth the trouble of sending back?

I love it already

Dont get stressed man, wait for them to reply. May be nothing to worry about.

[manrossdamn 57]

Thanks for the kind and helpful words guys

I'll just wait my turn, for all I know they are a busy group of people just like us.

Perfectly normal..

How the spiders and everything set up on it it does not always coat 100% of the outside, it is done to the best of the ability without coating the inner roll of the spider pack..because if you do that it will fatigue the spiders and crack.

There is almost of inch of glue under the dustcap. The only reason there is even glue put there is to set the cone initially and for cosmetic reasons. Serves no purpose other then that.

Thank you Mr. Stang.

You cleared up my worries, lol

if it makes u feel better, my Q just arrived today, the box is partially ripped open and it looks in horrible condition, i'm afraid to open it...

[manrossdamn 57]

Dang.. Open it and get some shots!

[manrossdamn 57]

Alright.

Set on the sub at 39 x 31.5 x 17 = 10 cubes

displacement is 9.3 cubes with a 5x17 port

tuned to 27hz..

That's highly doubtful that that would be the manufacturers fault. They wouldn't ship out a crap box. Whatever shipping company shipped it is careless.

It's not a car.. you don't have to break it in. You can play it at full volume all day and it won't matter.

Breaking in subs for the most part is a myth, yes Fs will drop slightly, but not much.

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Same thing with my xcon but my sub has a-lot of mechanical noise.
