  1. I just got my sub back. they covered it, gave it a fresh recone and its back in the car. i turned the amp down a lil bit and i think im gonna order a Q soon. Thx to everyone that helped answer my questions.


  2. Did you use the Bass Boost feature on the amp? If so that my be causing your problem as it can over drive the subwoofer.

    90% sure its off and the subsonic is set at 15 by the amp. And the box is sealed.


  3. What amp where you using and whats it rated at? Also you said you know it is not clipping, did you hook up an o-scope to make that determination? How did you set the gain? There's quite a bit left out here in my opinion. Anyway the only solution to this problem is a recone or to buy a new one.

    The amp is a alpine mrp-m1000 and the crossover is at around 60 and the gain was set with a dmm and a test cd all i had to play with. Im gonna send it in tomorrow after work and add bp power if i can.


  4. Get a DMM and measure the coils, are you sure its the sub and not the amp/wiring/fuses?

    I'll have to pick one up and yes. the amp and wires were all good. The sub wouldn't play and i would push on the cone a lil and it would come on for a sec then stop playing.


  5. You think the sub broke on it's own? One day it decided to not work, because all hell would break loose if it was actually user error, the user that got the enclosure, the user that set the amplifier, the user that controls the volume knob, nah it wasn't your fault. I agree, the sub broke itself. :bandwagon2:

    Did anywhere i say that it broke itself? NO and yes thats how it happened just stopped playing one day. And i never said it wasn't my fault, never said it was the company's fault. All i asked was what the procedure was for getting it fixed...... Thats all no more no less


  6. I bet clipping the shit outta it and box is shitty. Just saying...

    No clipping and the box is 1.05 cubes sealed with the sub im not an idiot, with the high qts option, and it took me a lil while to find the email for them. Told them exactly what i said here.

    And it sounded fine with no problems then it stopped working. I'll pull the sub out tomorrow and inspect it.

    I love how i ask a simple ? and almost everyone has to be a dick.


  7. I purchased a ssd12 not too long ago(3/15/10) and it has stopped working. Amp is fine good power still. When it does feel like working it sounds like its bottoming out even when its barely on. What is the procedure for something like this? Thanks in advance!


  8. Get one man i love it. ESP in the winter but u dont get that down there. Up here my car pwns, i fly by everyone on the highway :drink40:

    So what do you guys think about the Q idea?


  9. Heres a lil vid of my sub playing, Put On. Lmk what ya think! SSD12

    I have a weak mirror. LOL

    Looks Great!!!! Your Uncle's shop is very nice does he rent space by the hour?

    No its his work but he can go there anytime he wants to.


  10. The SSD is doing well. sounds great. I think that im going to upgrade to a Q 12 and throw it in the same box. Im hoping for harder hits from the bass drum, and it will handle the amp better than the SSD is. What do you guys think?


  11. It deff is under rated. It allmost takes all 1000rms my amp pushes. My friends are like shit there's no way that's one 12 in a sealed box. Check out my build for a lil more info. And u should go more around 1.2 before displacement. Sounds soooo good.


  12. Email nick at FI and ask what he thinks sounds best. For my ssd12he reccomended 1cube after displacemet. I would build the box somewhere around 1.5 before displacement. So in the end you will be around 1.32 cubes. Just my .2


  13. Using all that space is 2.71 ft^3 in a rectangular box with .75 mdf. The Q is recommend for .75 to 1.5 cubes. sooo go HERE and play with the dimensions till ya get the size u want and dont forget to take out the sub displacement which is .16 cubes.

    Sorry thats if ur gonna use a 12". what size sub are ya gonna use????


  14. ^^ oh thanks for that good info. And I took a video but photo bucket is taking forever and its only one min long but i'll give ya guys a link once its up. hope ya like it. Im impressed with the sub... but if my cuz wants this setup im going with a single BL12.
