    im not sure if my sub is in need for a recone or not, but there was smoke and the dreaded smell. The weird thing is the coils measure at 1.7 ohms on one side and 1.5 on the other. I looked at em and they seem to be a lil burnt. The sub still plays but its not as loud as it was and theres distortion on certain low and higher-mid notes. Iv not yet gotten to finish upgrading my electrical, been waiting on batteries, then gotta order a ho alt. Big 3 is done tho. amp is a Powerbass Xa-3000D "internals still look new" Knu 1/0 wiring gains were set all the way down most of the time, then at 1/4 and last at half. No multimeter used, I know its all my fault, shouldnt of went that …

My main use for this driver would be SQ(L). And I have had the xxx and the brahma in custom made ported and closed boxes. Is there anyone who has heared the Q12 and xxx/brahma and can tell me what I could expect?

    Hi Fi...I have (2)Audiomobile Mass series motor structures. no frames or top parts, just the magnet strutures. They are(were) 3inch underhung dvcs. Can they be rebuilt at all? They don't have to be dvcs. I would actually prefer single 4 or single 3. They need whole new top assemblies and softparts. Can this be done...ballpark cost for 15's. Thanks for any info.

    Hey guys, could one of you update me on the situation with my claim with usps you filed for me? Its been I do not know how long exactly but I figured Scott would have heard something back from usps by now. I know they take forever, I went down to the office I shipped the motor from and asked how long claims take, the woman just handed me the paper to file a claim . Anyway, if you guys can't remember I am: Sean Burnette and I mailed a Konaki motor to Fi through ups which was lost, Scott filed the claim for me and said he would keep me informed or let me know whats up with it. Please let me know when you guys get a chance, thanks guys

    Scott, I know you have been sick and really really busy trying to get caught up. Just to let everyone know I am not starting this topic to bust your balls or anything. I just need to get in touch with you. I would like for it to be over the phone so I can explore my options here for recones of BTL 18's but I would like a custom recone for my application. My e-mail is [email protected] if that is possible please let me know.... Thanks, Brock

    Hey Scott, do you send your subs outside America? I live in Greece (Europe) and i heard that a guy here has bought directly from you an 15" BL, is it true? If so do you remember who it was? I am interested about an Fi Q 12, how much will it cost me? (including shipping and everything else) Thank you in advance!

    So yesterday I finally got around to making a new box for my 12'' Fi Q D2. The box came out great, but when I went to put the Q in I noticed one of the tinsel leads was broken at the end where it connects to the terminal. I'm not sure how or when it happened. The gain on my amp (US amps XT4000D, 1500rms @ 1 ohm) is set about half way up and the bass boost is off. My question is what can I do about this? repair it? send it back for repair? Any help is appreciated, thanks

    Well i sent in my money order for a Q10 a week ago friday stating that i would like dual 2ohm coils, well, things changed a little so i e-mailed Fi and asked if my order could be changed to dual 1ohm coils... No answer and i sent the e-mail sunday morning. I don't really want to send another e-mail because i know they are really busy, but... i need to know if my order was changed or not... Any ideas? Or if one of the Fi guys read this, the e-mail is: [email protected] Thanks, and sorry for the semi-useless thread.
