Want to recone but dont know which sub I have? (Fi btl/n2/n3?)

Recommended Posts

Purchased an fi btl sub off craigslist. long story short, the previous guy who owned it did a VERY bad recone job and the tinsel leads that go into the spider were shot and the wire that goes into the cone is too short and when the sub excursions, it simply rips out of the tinsel. I'm going to order a new recone kit but i cant figure out if theres a difference with the btl/n2/n3 and which model this is.. I deleted the guys number because I was so pissed at him that he would sell me something fked up. 

if anyone can help me figure out what it is or if theres anyway to tell please let me know asap!

other than contacting Fi directly, you could post a bunch of pics. perhaps remove the soft parts and measure the gap  (only if you're ready for the recone now).

There's a very big and easy to see difference between the old UFO style BTL, the N1, N2 and N3 subs.  The UFO style is just that, the bottom looks like a UFO, much like the motors on the SSA XCON's.  The N's are NEO magnets sandwiched in big blocks on the side of the motor.  The N1 having only one magnet slug on the side of the motor, the N2 having two opposite eachother and the N3 having three of them around the motor on the back.

 

It shouldn't take much searching on Google to find pictures of any of the BTL series subs and match them to your's.
