I am pretty excited. I am ready for this weather to break so I can do some work to it...

I wasn't stating that 95% of the Fi subs that caught fire were user error, only that 95 percent of people with an upgraded audio setup in there vehicle don't really know what they are doing. There was a time I didn't know what I was doing or you and even M5 or Chop or anyone else on this forum. There are more young kids in school that just hook up the shit in their car and turn it up til it is "loud" and bang it til it blows. More of them than there are people like us that buy equipment for a certain reason and hook it up properly and set our amps properly. I am not trying to bash anyone or any company Fi is a great company I have rann several of their subs. This whole deal got blown out of proportion. I got the answers I was looking for. So I am done here...

And I believe ohms law is correct. The incorrect measurements is possible. To me it is user error. Lets face it 95 percent of audio heads really don't know what they are doing. Hell I am puzzled sometimes there is always going to be more for us to learn. With that being said I went to google and just typed subwoofer on fire. Out of the first 3 pages fi was on there once. Most were bose or kicker I think even seen a couple sundown threads. My point is everyone has there favorite brand. And will find any excuse to "bash" any other brand that is just as good or better. I do not have a particular favorite or hatred toward any brand. All have pros and cons and thats how I weigh my Decisions when purchasing a product, with logic... I hate this phone

Sorry for bad grammer I am on my phone..

Like I stated in the very beginning, I have been away from the forums and audio for some time now. Afterbi asked the question at hand I found my answers after looking thoroughly. My main concern with the while issue was why was it all the amps fault, yet they changed the design of the speaker. Which a lot of companies make design "improvements". But they did do away with the spider spacer and switched to the FOAD leads. Which had me wondoring why. Now I know why... And this is nothing like facebook. I hate facebook extremely to much drama and I could care less about what you do all day.

I'm just going to run them. They will only be on 3500 watts total. If they catch fire so be it. But I think it will be fine. Funny thing about electronics, they dont like to be over pushed. And we all know how dumb speakers are.

Coming from you brother, that means a lot! Thank you!

My part is done. He wanted to do the finishing touches himself. I believe he was going with white port and bed liner the rest.

Thank you sir!!

That is pretty much what I have came to the conclusion of. The more I read on it the more i feel the user was not in a position to have a massive substage with such little knowledge. But that does not answer to my spider spacer question...

Thank you sir. First time doing the whole kerf port deal. Pretty easy really.

All of my equipment should be here Monday. Now just need brakes, hub assemblies and tires. Already have my new springs and rear bushings. Trying to get everything in order so I can do it all at once, along with changing out the alt. Some point this year I am going to be graving up some ofc to replace all my cca too.

Thank you CHuck!!!!!

Decided to go a different way with substage. Selling one of my nightshades here soon, and a local IAK member is selling bnib sp4 18's. So i decided to take them off his hands. They will be thhe first 4 inch coil sub I have ran, Nightshades would been good, but I told myself a few months ago the only other subs I would run was 2 evils, 4 12" xcons, or sp4's. So sp4's it is.. lol

Everyday brother!!!

UPDATE!!!! Ordered my headunit--- pioneer 80prs Getting recones this weekend. Bought a couple batteries off of Chop yesterday, will be buying 3 more next week. That is all!

Thanks again everyone. I got some things I needed really. Chop swung by and gave me some more aluminum and some stickers and a bass knob and I got some work pants haha.

Happy birthday chuck!!!

Thank you guys!!!!! Just another year older, but another year wiser!!!

right on thanks bro

That will not help^LOL!! Hope we get a break in weather soon so you can start finishing that beast up! you and me both broths. Although it will probably be like March or April LOL.

I also need to do a bunch of work to the rear suspension that is contributing to it sagging more. Needs all new bushings, wheel bearings, brakes, and springs. I may also note it has 2" drop all the way around which isn't helping much either.

Where did you order those from shizzon?

Not sure but I am sagging pretty bad without any equipment so far. Maybe 150 pounds. There's about 8 16 foot 2x4's 1 and half sheets of birch so far and a bunch of expanding foam and polyurethane adhesive. Still have to do front baffle which will eat about 2 sheets of birch and throw in equipment, so looking around the 600-700 pound mark in the end.

Yo Jay send me a pm. It wouldn't let me send you on was trying to go e you my number. Been a long time bro. Also I am awaiting uncle Sam aswell... lol
