  1. Im afraid you don't know as much as you think you do, at least not in this instance. A DMM measures DC resistance only. The 4 ohm or 2 ohm rated "impedance" of any speaker is an AC resistance. Look at the "Re" spec on any sub on the market which is the DC resistance of the coil and it will almost never match the rated impedance and most times isn't even close and can even be about half the stated impedance. You were sent a D4 to start with, and got the D2 you ordered the second time. The fault is yours, not theirs. I'm sorry, but that's the truth of it.
  2. 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!
  3. EVERY speaker is rated for a nominal impedance. Impedance is the resistance measurement that is used because a coil with AC voltage applied is reactive. Depending on the frequency that's applied and the inductance of that coil that resistance changes unlike with DC where resistance is simply resistance. The nominal impedance is more like the average impedance seen on a given driver over its specified frequency range. THAT is why you measure it with a DMM and see a lower resistance than its given impedance. Sure, mistakes happen, but as several have mentioned the resistance of the coil is written on the coil when it is wound. Read it and see what it says. The DC resistance you measure with a DMM WILL NOT MATCH THE RATED IMPEDANCE ON ALMOST ANY DRIVER. Like I said, go to Partsexpress for example and look at the thiele/small parameters for any speaker you want to. The Re (DC resistance) rating will be lower than the given impedance for pretty much every one of them.
  4. You're not going to get help acting like that. I would try another meter, or replace the batteries in the one you're using. Also if you look at the vc former through the cooling vents the coil configuration is written in Sharpie. Just chill if there is a mistake it will get resolved.
  5. You have to wait for them to become a public release like anybody else. Its not that hard, if you can't wait then move on. No need to make a big deal, they are just subwoofers man.
  6. dont fill in qts. Let it calculate it itself.
  7. wtb video of him tearing the subs apart and eating them.
  8. Again, we're getting only half the story. And AGAIN, CHILL THE FUCK OUT AND HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT! IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ACTING LIKE A FUCKING CHILD, WE CAN TREAT YOU LIKE A FUCKING CHILD. Shit happens and you can deal with it in a mature manner, which you are NOT doing, or you can act like a fool, which you are doing. Simple as that.
  9. LOL. Sorry. Good luck.
  10. what fuckin records ssa set? Please answer that you fuckin fool
  11. If you ordered one thing and got something else, they would get you the right thing, not just give you a sticker. Now, clean up your attitude, quit being a dick and cussing and what not. You are swinging your dick around and talking about how much you know and how people should not make assumptions, but several of your posts are littered with hypocrisy. I am sensing there is more to this story than we know.
  12. Look kid, nobodys questioning that you got the wrong sub. You have to understand that shit like this happens. Don't be a fucking dick about it. That won't get you anywhere. Its happened to a lot of people from a lot of different companies. Chill the fuck out and work things out in a civil manner and if you don't then I KNOW your next post will more than likely be your last! This kind of shit happens all the time, like I said. It isn't just SSA, it happens to MANY companies out there. Now sit down and be civil because puffin up your chest ain't gonna get you anywhere, but flat on your back.
  13. The only coil config that Fi USES for themselves that goes below 0.7 is the SP4 which is .65... Now, there's no way in hell an sp4 coil would fit in a gcon.. I also will say that Fi may possibly use coils for who they OEM for that they may not use for themselves. If that's true then some OEM brand has gotten an accidental switch from what i would assume.
  14. Well, you're gonna love this. SSA Gcons do not come in D1s like how you are measuring. That means it's not SSA's fault if everything you are posting is the truth. However, SSA will need to chalk up the problem if it truly is a D1 sub.
  15. Get a strong 15" and have fun
  16. Lol. I would if my radio reception was actually worth a damn.... that's the weakest point of my system.
  17. it will fit, but you might have to cut it down a bit. The thicker the wire the more rise you will get. so why not just use 12 gauge
  18. I originally ordered just one gcon 4ohm dvc but they sent a 2ohmdvc so I said screw it an ordered another 2ohm dvc so I can have a pair. Fast forward to today an here we are
  19. From how it looks, you ordered a 4ohm, and received a 4ohm. Now you ordered a 2 ohm so you have 2 different subs. How do you know the sub you originally ordered was 2 ohms and not 4?Dude im not pucking stupid I know how to check ohms. They fucked up twice with me because they are GARBAGE! Here is my first one that was sussposed to be dual 4 ohm http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid657.photobucket.com/albums/uu295/sld225/20130831_141331_zps91f82d79.mp4 Now watch the god damn video instead of making assumptions like you know what the fuck your talking about
  20. 45 min from br. More towards marksville
  21. An im very mad. It cost me 457 bucks for these 2 an both them have screw ups
  22. They are fi parts ssa just glues them together. Like I said tge one in the vid is sussposed to be a dual 4 but its a dual 2 now my new one is sussposed to be a dual 2 but it measures dual .5
  23. Yall just trying to start a fight. Dude how its a god damn 4 when the coil measures 2? Please fuckin tell me that? They admitted to there mistake. They say it happens. Also o do have hardcore proof fi builds their parta
  24. Other piece of shit is sussposed to be a 2 but it measures around half oh. Watch the vid dumnass an see for yourself before you fuckin speak
  25. Oh, this ought to get interesting. Going to get some popcorn.
  26. Theres no damn sugar in me sorry. Tired of idiot ass kids trying to tell me whats wrong when they dont know shit. Mother pucker shows 2ohm In. The vid so why u dumbass say its 4ohm?
  27. 2 +2 in series is 4 2 +2 parallel is 1 In the vid I have it fuckin series an ah shit look at the ohm load.... it says 4. So quit being stupid
  28. It says 2ohm on the coil cant you read? The ssa peeps said sorry on there fuck up. They gave me sticker for troubles. Bitch peeled itself off during hot day though so fuck it.
  29. What do you think that you are accomplishing with your vulgar language?From the south this how we talk. Sorry you northern people are too sensitive to cuss words
  30. You know you wait an wait an buy wood an screws an tite bond an buy amps an wire an rca an batts an expect your shit to be nice annnnn pucking wammo shit all stupid because of stupid small sub company has absolutely NO QUALITY CONTROL
  31. Just got my new 2ohm dvc sub yesterday an threw it in my new box for 2 subs Immediately saw that new one flexed much more then other one. Pulled each out an tested them an here what I found.. Sub 1 has 2ohm at each coil Sub 2 has .6 at each coil I tested each sub in series by itself an got this.... Sub1 4ohm Sub2 1.6 ohm Sub 2 is bran new out the box to btw... any ideas?
  32. I was told from nick a few weeks ago they'd be available by now ive seen so many ppl posting pics and video's of theirs, i want a pair too... what do i have to do to get a pair? only wanna wait but so much longer before i choose a different sub
  33. Almost 30 so im not a damn kid so watvh the name callin. Just tired these stupid ass kuntz saying its a 4ohm whem they didnt watch vid. It clearly shows its a 2ohm. Ssa dont wanna do shit. Only option is recone. All I wanted to do is show you all that they fucked up
