little hammer and a screwdriver..don't hit it too hard or you'll crack the basket. if you do it right it'l pop right off

Who was fired.. We don't put any dates on anything ever as many things come up that are completely unforseen. When we're ready to release a 12 we will.

Don't have an 'official' release date...we never have for anything and we never will. The tab that is on the website should be a bit of a clue. The reason there are a handful of people that have them and have put them up on youtube and what not was to do field testing to prevent any issues with happening with a few parts that we haven't used before. We got the information that we were looking for, made a few adjustments and they're about ready for release. I've had zero time to do any emails, office work, etc for the past week due to people being out sick and everything in the shop breaking at least twice. Photos have to be edited and put up on the site and then they will be released for ordering. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Relax We've had some people out sick most of the week and I've had zero time to do any office work including email, messages etc. I've been focusing all of my energy on getting things built and shipped. Our shipment of baskets is stuck in customs and I do not have a date when it will be released as of today. These are one of the few parts that we do import and have zero control over customs as to how they have to inspect things and clear it. They were delayed in being made, and delayed in being shipped out, now they are delayed and hung in customs. We'll be contacting everybody today who is being effected by the delay on their order.

We can work you a deal on a recone, I emailed you earlier explaining that we have no extra cones right now until we hear from our vendor as to when they will be arriving. I also said I would let you know when I know. Odds are we can come up with a recone kit for you, I just have to have a date so I can tell you when. It's not a warranty situation nor is it our fault, we don't want you to be mad by any means, but whoever set the amplifier up had absolutely no idea what they were doing. If that amp was set up on a BL like that, you were extremely lucky you didn't burn it up as well. Regardless of what speaker you put in there..if you put it in there with that set up how it is right now you're going to have similar results. Speakers are stupid, they do what you tell them to do in the environment that you place them in. You can't go do a car dealer, buy a new car, wrap it around a telephone pole, and expect the dealer to say 'oh sorry that pole jumped out infront of you, here is a brand new car on our dime'. There would be no car dealerships - which is why you have insurance companies that you pay premiums for every month to protect you from something happening. Sadly, there are no speaker insurance companies..if there were they would be out of business quickly .

8 subs flaming out of ~1300 is a lot? .65318%? 6 of them flamed on sundown 3000/3500, 1 on an american bass amp which was the start of this thread, now 1 on a zx 2500. Every single install has had bass boost on, or has set things up wrong and over driven the amplifier...1292 subs out there with no issues.. People burn the tinsel leads completely up on the other subs and catch them on fire as well, same issues. When they recone and dial things in right..nothing is ever heard of them again. You can't fix a loose nut behind a knob.

that is unacceptable. there is a big demand. I do not think any of the parts used are so special that the sub cannot be built anymore.... The magnet tooling that was used on the V1 was destroyed and is unavailable. They are not a common size magnet, therefore it can not be built.

watch the video man..it explains EVERYTHING

Discontinued and unavailable.

bass boost is on..there's your problem watch..learn

long as it hasn't been built yet it shouldn't be a problem you aren't at 15 business days yet, really close. make sure you email sales with your order number and i'll make sure it's changed in the morning when i get to the shop

If you want a midwoofer..get a midwoofer. The point of a speaker is no different than a wrench, you should use the proper tool for the job. If you have a 1/4" bolt you are trying to tighten up you do not need a 5 foot long cheater bar on the end of the wrench. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-8-woofers/peerless-sls-830667-8-paper-cone-woofer/ Those are great from 80-1000Hz.

Got a bit of luck going for you for sure saved you 30 bucks!

Ran out of the regular ABS claps so recent orders have all gotten the carbon caps. We'll have them up on the website as an option here soon.

Is this the same logic you used for the first part of your statement? I'd be willing to accept the argument of severe over-driving (to one side of the suspension) if the OP was running an NS1 or a Brazilian smoke machine. Granted I don't know for a fact that the OP wasn't running a bigger amp, but assuming he was running a Sundown 3k on a 3k rated woofer, shouldn't Severe over-driving of the suspension be the least of his worries? If you burn any speaker up...regardless if it is a walmart or craiglist special it is because the loose nut behind the controls applied too much power to it in one form or another, or there was something else going on with the inductive heating. The Korean amps ramp the switching frequency of the mosfets up sky high so they can save 4 parts on the board and they do not filter any of this high frequency noise out. That noise goes into the tinsel leads on the speaker and causes them to glow. The vast majority of the time the speakers are wired in series or parallel which will always yield 1 tinsel lead frying on one side of the sub..unless it holds on long enough to bang the other tinsel lead on the other side, which occasionally does happen. If people can run in excess of 8000 watts to that exact same tinsel lead setup all day every day with zero problems there is something wrong somewhere else. Watts is heat energy, if things are set up properly a 3000 watt amplifier should NEVER be able to produce the heat that 8000 watts worth of mulitple amplifiers does.

Severe over driving and inductive heating. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the tinsel leads or the sub period. If there was something wrong with it every single one would have failed. There are thousands of them out there with no issues. Speakers are stupid..they do what you tell them to do in the environment you place them in. They do not spontaneously combust.

15 business days on the vast majority of orders..some have been going out at 9-10. There are a handful that are behind and those have been contacted.

v gd

they're speakers that take electrical energy and convert it into acoustical output.. one you can customize to your install, the other you can not.. either way you're not going to go wrong ps. they're both different.

Nope, the coil would be off-set north to keep the turns in the gap height correct.

We can still recone them..but we just did a very short run of them for test marketing purposes of the sp4.

Don't do it..there's good reason why there are n2 recones and n3 recones. A n3 recone is NOT going to make an n2 better, or like an n3.

Ohms law, coil is wired in series..more turns in the gap with a D2 coil than a D1 coil. A dual 4ohm coil will end up with about another 50% BL across the D2

Yep heard them good shit. Check out Larry & his flask - beggars will ride.
