  1. That link doesn't work for me, but I think I know what you're asking.

     

    At first the motor was one solid slug. With time I believe Fi was recieving too many issues on ''damage,breaking/chipping etc'' of the magnet due to shipping.

     

    I believe they started using a "pie slug" version to try and cut down on that problem. One large slug is easier to crack than multiple "pie style" slugs together.

     

     

    They should be fine together, but I'm sure Nick will confirm or correct me if I'm wrong here....


  2. I didn't blow them is the thing. They broke at the former from "bottoming out" which if these are doing that at 40hz I want nothing to do with them. Also if they won't take 6500+ on 3-5 second burps for a pair then they aren't the sub that I want. They had maybe 10-15 burps on them tops when they went. I can't be buying recones every few weeks. They may be cheap at first, but after a few they get expensive. I am going to go with a brand that I know will handle the power.

    Unfortunately, you are involved in SPL, which in and of itself forces you to test the limits of the equipment you use.

    Once you break into the high 50's, you reach a point where the sub system, and sometimes vehicle expose weak links and fail. To touch 58 with the limited equipment you have, and not want to continue developing the combination ( which is rewarding you ) is beyond me.

    At your current stage, most are doing in the field repairs after a few runs.

    Now, going off of what you describe above, I would suggest shrinking the enclosure down.


  3. I still don't understand why people waste their time. Then ''assume'', a moment in time in which they believe they've reached "break in".

    Pour the coals to it right away. If something happens, you're doing it wrong, or asking too much from your equipment / setup.


  4. Leave the amps alone. Jeez.

    No need to change it every 2.3 months.

    It's quite necessary as we are actually shifting manufacturing facilities... while I'm at it I am improving them as I'd need to re-tool anyway.

    Interesting. They are already bad ass since the added cooling fins. Can't wait to see the changes.
