  1. I dont want to seem like im being impatient but i have been waiting for over a year. Ive been PMing kyle but and its seems you guys are waiting on back covers? BUT in the post in this thread he made it seem as if i would get a replacement in afew days or so. I tried PMing him again and no reply. Every month i go thruogh this. You guys talk and talk like we're getting somewhere but i dont receive anything. Is it possible for me just to get a refund?


  2. Hey guys, had a talk with mike about my build and he said that Im on the right track with everything so far..:woot: I told him this was the specs so far..well with having 6 subs per side, i made the sealed side on each side alittle less than 6cu total.. and the ported will be 2cu per sub.. he said to stick with that. Should hammer and play nice and wide.. so i got the green light to proceed from the expert..:lol:

    Looks good! Can't wait to see it playing...I'm doing a similar build this fall


  3. Jerome, if you still want an alternator for the tahoe that you have then we can send you a 320SP in replace of it, however it wont be externally regulated as the external regulators have been out of stock for quite some time. If you wish to have it at 14.7 volts I can get one out to you pretty quickly. Let me know if thats alright with you.

    That will be fine the faster the better


  4. Hi my name is Jerome Cochran i ordered a SP315 for a 97 maxima in aug of 2009 i sent it in for repair in march of 2010 and i have been emailing and calling monthly since about june of 2010...it is now june of 2011 and still no alternator or refund...Am i ever going to receieve my alternator?? I have been given the run around for over a year and enough is enough i need my alternator or just refund my $589 that i paid for it.


  5. Isn't a warranty as they simply do not break (They do not have a warranty anyhow)....every one that does break is abused in some way shape or form. We do take care of defects...but it obviously wasn't defected when you got them because they worked fine from October up until now...

    Odds are it was probably a subsonic filter issue and/or a clipping issue sending a lot of current to one coil and burning the leads on it (There are 16 tinsels on every BTL, you simply do not burn them without trying very hard)

    18" Recones are $120 + shipping.

    ok good ish!

    one more question how come the recone on the website is $140?


  6. It's not reading ? what do you mean by this ? it's not reading the right DCR ?

    Switch your DMM to continuity and see if you get a tone ??

    BTL's are rated for 2K Base model.. with upgrades well over 2K

    The old BTLs handled up to 6K on tones per test by lloyd...

    Took 10K as well...

    I think almost 75% of the people who own BTL's have over 3K on them each...

    Unless your clipping the amp they should take the 3K with no problem....

    Did they come out of the BOx this way ?

    And what made you meter the coils in the first place did it get softer ?

    will try that in the morning

    no i had the subs since oct of 08

    i metered them because i was playing some music (not loud or normal listen level) and i looked over to notice the sub was barely moving..so i turned it up some more than noticed one looks like its moving more than the other...

    so at this point i took out the sub that looked like it wasnt moving as much and tested on my amp..and notice only one coil was working..


  7. Why wouldn't it? You put a 3000 watt amplifier on a sub rated for 2000 (maybe 2500 since it was fully loaded). If you clipped the amp heavily you could get 4, 5, even 6000 watts from it. That's surely enough to blow even a BTL.

    Does the sub make any noise? I mean bad noises like scratchy, not just bass noise.

    I won't comment on the warranty/recone issues, I'll let a representative of the company do that.

    thats the thing...it doesnt make any noise its like new ..not scratching or anything! thats the part I dont get..the sub moves up and down like normal and the VC isnt all burnt up..the spider landing/tinsels is fine


  8. So just one coil on one of the subs is out? Does it just read 0 on the meter? If so, it's blown. It's caused by too much power.

    hmm...wow 1 gp3000d per amp that too much power? i seems like it just doesnt add up


  9. Well i got 2 18" Fully loaded BTLs back in Oct. 2008..i have them in a wall in my maxima in a 10.5 cuft box after displacement with 130 sqin of port area tuned to 32hz and one of my woofers coils arent reading nor working..the other coil read .7-.8 and works fine and the other woofer is okay. they are powered by 2 gp3000ds strapped a 1 ohm..

    What cause this? the coils arent burnt and brown and the woofers are still stiff...is there a warranty? and i see the recone is $140 how much would Fi Charge me to do the job? And i dont have the packaging for when i received the woofers so would Fi ship me an empty so i can send the woofer in?


  10. Is there any way i can pay alittle extra for faster shipping? like Fedex 3 day select?? I have a comp on the 25th of oct and my check will clear thurs-friday for my bank account so thats the day i can order it..is there any way i can get it thay thrus-fri(23th-24th)?? I know FI is extremely busy but i would love to make it out to that comp FYI im ordering 2 fully loaded BTL 18's


  11. hmm its the PT..i wanted it to be recone to 1.5 ohm so it will be .75 on the amp(much like hte JL's)

    My next question is will it be worth tryin to be my Concept PT's modded with something to handle more power? right now im sending them about 900wrms each and i dont think they can take anymore..i wanted to send 1800wrms to them daily..The Concet PT is a 4 spoke basket and doube stacked magnet(160oz)
