  1. Pre-09 motors have a power rating of 1000 rms and is a different motor than the 2 models they made after that.  All the different motor types take the same recone.

    I was wondering if there were any performance increases since the design of the motor is much different.

     

    Good to know I can still get the old Q reconed!


  2. Hi, can anyone link me to a thread that explains the change in the ~2006 to ~2010 motor that's used for the Q? I bought a Q15 back in 2007 and the motor for my new Q12 looks much different. The old motor has a double-stacked magnet setup.

     

    The searches I've done haven't come up with any info on this change.


  3. I just sent the below email to sales@ficaraudio.com. Please respond.
     
    Hi, I'm moving on 4/12 next week and I wanted to give you my new shipping address.
     
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    XXXXXXXXXXXXX, GA XXXX4
     
    Please respond so that I know you got this. I'm aware of the wait time and I'm not trying to make it seem like I'm being impatient. It's just that it's very important that this be sent to the right address.

    I spoke with Scott and he has my new address.

  5. Give them a little time, there are some changes at Fi and Scott is doing everything he can to tackle all of it.

    I'm aware of the wait time, I'm relocating and if this isn't going to be shipped soon I need to know so I can give them my new address. No one is responding to me so I can get that done.



  6. Hello, 

     

    I'm inquiring on the current status for the Q12 and I ordered on 03/09. I need to know the status/ETA because I'm moving at the end of next week. Please let me know what's going on.

  7. I believe that would raise the price do to longer built time for machines to manufacture a spider w/tinsels wooven in them.Not sure Fi has this capability at there ready in house.If not they would have to send them out and that would bump up prices I would assume.Also I doubt the btl size heavy lead would work being wooven in cause I'm thinking spider degredation due to mass taken out of spider to fit the heavy lead which might make it weaker.I'm just assuming so I'll wait for Scott or Nick to chime in on this one.What do you think guys, am I close?

    It's a pretty common thing nowadays with higher-end sub manufacturers. I wouldn't have this issue right now if it was wooven. I really don't know why this would happen; the sub doesn't come close to reaching xmax in my box and I'm not overpowering the sub. It seems kind of suspect that only one of the two leads on that side would work loose like that though, if it was over-driven wouldn't both leads unravel?


  8. I did a search for warranty, but ended up finding more threads talking about amp warranties than Fi sub warranties.

    I have a few pic's of one of the tinsel leads in my Fi Q15 that worked itself loose. Everything else on the sub is good and the VC looks perfect, it's just this one tinsel lead that came loose.

    I remember seeing a thread about a user that had some BTL's that had tinsel lead slap issue's. Are the tinsel leads in Fi woofers ever going to be wooven into the spider?
