Update: it doesnt even work now! won't even move, no burnt smell or anything!

[RobClay 20]

Did you try it on another amp?

[Julian 641]

no not yet, i need to get my other amp.

[Godsmack 360]

Somethin here says clipped signal and the amp's subsonic was not turned on and it over excursioned and well, it has a coil that basically welded itself to the pole piece.

yeah i didnt realize that my ssf was on 35 hz i thought i turned it down but i didnt.

[ShaneSauce 2]

a ssf @ 35hz shouldn't be what killed your sub I don't think.

My SSD is making a weird noise but I think its because I have it temporarily hooked up to my home stereo.

[Julian 641]

i dont think either for the first 5 days it was kicking so hard then one day it started to make the noise.

[ShaneSauce 2]

Well then it sounds like the amp slowly killed it with a clipped signal or overexcursion.

[Julian 641]

sigh is there a number i can call fi at?

[RobClay 20]

email them. i dont beleive they have a number.

If it won't move and it's not stuck out of the gap (as it would if the coil jumped the gap from overexcursion, the cone would look stuck out), you fried the voice coil with too much power, and as Godsmack said, it welded itself to the motor.

Time to call FI for a recone and time to turn the gain down a bit on the amp.

[Julian 641]

aprox how much would it cost?

[Duran 387]

Recones run about $50-$75.

[Julian 641]

thank you god its cheap:D i was hoping it wouldnt be over 100 dollars

Since you just got the sub, talk to them at FI, they may do a warranty recone for you. You just pay shipping.

BLASPHEMY!

No for real though, can you blame them? I'm pretty sure it wasn't their fault for the damage.

Why not recone it yourself? You will save a lot of money.

[KU40 173]

Why should they pay for shipping for a sub you probably broke?

[Punkeyboozter 19]

email them. i dont beleive they have a number.

Nick@ficaraudio.com

well ill be damned, ive been mailing them a 100 times to get a number but still didnt get it. no-wonder Fi is too shy to admit they dont have a phone.. I suppose times are tuff

[nem 2,019]

I am sure that Fi has a phone number. The problem is if it was posted everybody would be calling them. Scott and Nick are very busy and work hard at providing good products as well as customer service!
