    once again 2 12" Havocs on saz-1500d

    While it wont push a pair to their limits, it will have more output than just the single 12 does... and be effortless in doing it. Thanks, Scott

    Question about Mayhem 18".

    We can recone the older Havocs. It has a decent motor on it and we can upgrade things thermally a little bit. When I get into the office this morning Ill check to see the dimensions on the older version... I should have those somewhere. Chad hasnt been with the company in about a year and a half. He is doing some amazing HT subs with his new company at Epik Subwoofers. You can ask Nick about what he thinks Mayhems will do in HT. He listens to a variant of one daily. Thanks, Scott

    getting a recone

    Recones are up on the site to order now as well. Be sure to know what you are ordering when you do... as some things will not fit with others. Thanks, Scott

    FI Shipping?

    Sorry guys... as mentioned above we changed from the "free" (which was included averaged shipping cost over the lower 48 states) to a reduced sub price and having to actually pay for shipping charges to your zip code 9-10 months ago. Reason being that we were getting killed in shipping costs as we never raised pricing and UPS did on a daily basis. So those closer to us got subs for less than before and those in the East had a price increase. Not too mention that the new BTL weighs more than the old subs and all drivers get hit for a over weight residential charge. Kryptonite... not sure how to control the weather yet. But we are working on it... Looks like to finally got to you though. It seems from many peoples posts that we need to do a little more to let people know the whole process. We get plenty of mad emails the day after they place an order not knowing why it hasnt shipped. Or that if they leave an email for their paypal account and not their normal account, all correspondence (including the UPS tracking number) automatically gets sent there. Any thoughts on this one? No one seems to read the TandC and just clicks to get it out of the way... flashing banner maybe? Thanks, Scott

    How backed up are you?

    Bobaflob... what BL and what warranty work? Is it already in to us?

    How backed up are you?

    Ill have to check with Nick on that one. Will do tomorrow morning. I think we can stick a pair of X12s in with those too. Ill have one of the shipping workers check tomorrow as well. Thanks, Scott

    I just checked out the home page...

    Lots more to add to that section as well... just wanted to get the basics of each driver up first. Ill add more to each one later as well as have the secondary tech section to show people about clipping, subsonic filters, and all of the other overlooked things that makes $hit trickle down hill to the sub end of things Thanks, Scott

    How backed up are you?

    About a 1.25" of magnet diameter. Comes standard with pole chamfer and a copper coil vs paying for the chamfer as an option and the older standard coil. Added the hyper pole chamfer which is similar in geometry to the compression plug in the BP option of the Qs and SSDs, although this is integral to the pole (machined all as one piece) and not just a machined aluminum part added. Now has the urethane Fi logo dome tag on the back of the motor as well. Since we have had the BLs we have seen what people like about them and how they use them... seems we needed to kick up the motor strength a little more to meet the needs of our customers. Trying to get all pics and specs up tonight. Thanks, Scott

    Bad weekend for the Fi Q

    Well... Ill say this. That sub looks like it has had one heck of a hard life. Keep us all posted, and if it doesnt work out let me know and we will take care of things from there Thanks, Scott

    ups shipping

    Not sure what the deal is with that. I have my rep looking into it to see whats going on. Thanks, Scott

    Fi bl 18

    What options on the sub? Doesnt change things thermally in a larger enclosure, normally just mechanically in that there is a larger air spring behind it and it cant handle quite as much. Thanks, Scott

    How backed up are you?

    Never like to loose a customer, but you did pick one heck of a sub to go with. Excellent choice. Cleared up all the BL/BTL subs that we had running into the 12 business day lead time (normally 3-7) due to lack of steel from our vendor. They were back ordered on our custom 20' lengths of steel for over 3 weeks and that put us behind. I appreciate everyones patience with their orders. Back to normal lead times for BLs and BTLs... except we will start shipping new BLs to all those that ordered from today on out. Still have a few of the old motors left for those that need repairs or to match another driver. Thanks, Scott

    I just checked out the home page...

    Thanks for the kind words. Been working on lots of new things and hope to have most up by tonight... couple new shirts, new BL series, stickers, tech (or at least the basics for each of the speakers), and recones. Have more to do than that... but wont be able to get to some of the other items for another week or two. Thanks, Scott

    AA in Canada?

    I have know Dale for a while now and couldnt be happier with him taking care of the products up there for us. As close as Canada is, it might have been just as easy to go direct with dealers like we have in the US. But trusting him like we do, it takes that burden off of an already strained office staff as well.

    Excellent... Nick is a huge help

    SMD series delays.

    I may be in contact with you soon. One of the machines is 350 ton unit that should be able to run a 2 cavity mold given the amount of material we need for 2 parts. We can make molds in house as well. I think Ill arrange to check it out next week to wrap my head around how big this unit really is. From pics it seems about 20 feet long... plus Id like to see it in action (local machine in Las Vegas) and get an idea of how I can configure the tooling for the parts. No equivalent subs without the logo for that series. We have actually reduced some costs with making parts in house for certain items. When you average the tooling cost for parts vs the number of parts needed, some things simply arent worth making overseas. Plus it opens up new ways of thinking about building products when you can actually build them.

    Arsenal 10"s failing??

    It definitely appears as over excursion due to the tuning and lack or improper susbonic filter settings. This can be done to about anything... subsonic filter settings with ported enclosures are key. Not sure how to stress that enough. Wonder what dealer these were purchased through as none have said anything about it. But we do work with dealers directly on how to properly set things up as well and it massively reduces any sort of failures with products (another reason why we dont go via distribs and rep firms).

    SMD series delays.

    Keeps validating why I keep filling up every bit of floor space with machines...lol. Anything that we can do in house Im all for. I probably wont get an update until Sunday night on this one (Chinas Monday morning), but if it isnt good, I may get a crash course in injection molding. I have a lead on two a larger Engel and one Van Dorn machine that would definitely open up a new world of possibilities for us. Just not for this project as we need things done ASAP.

    I am loosing my sanity

    lol... yeah I went on the search to find anything that isnt in line with our current policy. I need to rework some of the descriptions of the driver as well... Ill try to update that ASAP too.

    idea for alittle project

    You found some poly mids? Snap those things up. Even I am out of them (except for the units in my doors). We do have the carbons, which have a very similar response as well. Thanks, Scott

    E-mail

    Got your email... Ill try and get to it tomorrow morning (its at work and not here otherwise Id do it now). Had 2-3 employees out sick all last week and 1-2 this week, so we have been a little stressed with the OEM work and lack of specific people for machining processes. Sorry for the delay Thanks, Scott

    Dale is the go to guy. If he doesnt have it we can drop ship it to you through him. Thanks, Scott
