hi,

I dont remember if i selected the Universal option and i want to switch my BTL d2 to a d1, can I still recone it to a d1 if universal wasnt selected?

Thanks,

Taken directly off fi site:



Universal: This option gives you the choice to later chance the impedence of your voice coils. You can change from dual 2’s to dual 1’s and vice versa by reconing them. If you do not choose this option your motor(s) will be optimized per the coil resistance that you have chosen. (Dual 2’s will forever be a dual 2 motor, Dual 1 will forever be a Dual 1 motor).

I would contact Fi! They should have record of your order and be able to tell you what you selected.

The universal option is the D2 gap.

So if you had a D2 you can go to a D1.

If you had a D1 and didn't select the universal you can not go to the D2. The gap is optimized for the D1 coil and is to tight for the D2 coil.

Someone just started a topic called universal option in the general fi section not too long ago. It was explained in there that the D2 gap is the same size as the universal gap and the D1 is slightly smaller. Do a quick search and you will find this information.

D2 is the universal gap..

You might want to recone it yourself.
