Just got done unloading the trucks... the 15s and 18s are here in stock for the first time. We have additional 12D2 models for any over-flow overs as well. Any 10s either coil or 12D1 we'll still have to build until the next shipment. Also some X-18 in D2 and D4 were on the truck as well as re-stocking quantities of SA-10/12/15 and SD-2 10/12 woofers.

I must say, the wording seems off. "Tag a friend wants to see all the new ia subwoofers." I feel there should be a "that" after "friend" in there.

User error.

Would be shocked if Kevin had a clue what is being asked

Skar?

Question: So hom many people in this thread actually use/own a 2013 model IA20.1 and run it at less than 1 ohm?

There is never a set date given for fi subs. They're put on the site as they're ready. No reason to be upset that a time frame was off for a said speaker; nothing was promised.

Still not quite clear on what happened to the original sub woofer, as to why it is reading so off after power was applied. But we are still sending out a recone kit to fix the issue.

Thanks for answering a question I havent asked

Oui, this is what happens when I only work on emails all weekend, take half a day off and not keep on top of the forums every 30 minutes like always. First off, this customer ordered a D4, as he said, for the first sub. When it arrived, he swore up and down that he got a D2 sub. Which by the way, had never happened before where a customer was sent the wrong coil, so it was VERY surprising to have someone say they got the wrong coil. Since he was so adamant about the wrong coil and has been accusatory from the get go, I assumed he was using a trusty DMM and was reading it correctly, I apologized for the supposed mistake of the build house, so for his second sub, we adjusted it to a D2 coil. So his second sub came and appears to be a D2 as ordered. For future reference, there are three different people who check or overlook the sub before it leaves the build house, so to say we have no quality control is clearly not accurate. There is markings on the box, the build ticket and the former, so it is HIGHLY unlikely that a sub would ever ship out with the wrong VC. Yes, we are a small brand, but clearly we have experience doing this and we have NEVER and I mean NEVER screwed over a customer and as explained and posted numerous times in a thread, if a mistake was made we have always worked to correct it asap. So for one customer to be claiming it happened twice, seems quite odd. As explained in this thread, the D4 coils have a resistance lower than D4, same with D2. The Gcon does NOT come in a D1 coil option as there are D1 coils for it. This is due to a number of reasons, power compression, impedance rise or box rise etc., so that the coils rest below the stated resistance and with natural rise will be closer to stated resistance. (Alton's explaination is much better then mine: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/60275-two-new-ssa-subs-showing-diffrent-ohms/page-3#entry1020077) For example, if you get a D4 ohm subwoofer from a different brand that uses 4.0 ohm Re, after natural rise it will be higher than a D4. One easy way to know for sure is on each former, above the coil should be written in black sharpie, stating the voice coil that is on the subwoofer. As it stands now, with everything written out by the customer as the facebook messages did not contain all of this info, we can only assume that the first Gcon was a D4 as ordered and the second Gcon was a D2 as ordered. This may be partially my mistake as I did not ask for a photo of the formers from the get go, but I have never had to do that before. If the customer truly is the first one with wrong voice coils, we will clearly correct it, but if the first one was read wrong..... Side note, with SSA store rewards, the total was $444, not $457.

the older one is helping me build a box currently. This one wants to help, but is just a tad small yet to actually help. Give him another couple years though, and he'll be working on enclosures with his big brother and I. If I don't teach them the finer things in life who will? It's my job as a father.

So if I have SP4 coils in my subs will that make them perform different than standard BL's?

I do not want some random ass sub made of 15 different parts. I want something the wonderful engineers at FI have constructed, tested and approved.

I have been wondering about my 12 inch BL subs the last few weeks. I got them re-coned about 6 months ago and I have the fully loaded BL's with 4 inch coils. I am wondering if the 4 inch coils were no longer available since last year what was used for my re-cones? SP4 coils? Nick can you chime in?

Then why are you running a cadance amp and not a IA. To much money for you?

Im a douche cause I asked how not to fuck up my shit? Thats my question of an Ia product not how the warranty is of crescendo. I dont know shit about anything but I do know a little to get me by car audio

Reason for being a dick? Cause I didnt ask about warranty. I stated that in one of my above post already. Sorry if I offended you, just wanted to know about an IA product... Hence why i posted in this manufactory forum of IA and not crescendo forum about warranty. Hope this helps your concern.

Reason for being a dick?

Gave everyone +1 to get as many people back to neutral (or positive) as possible

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

They rated their amps at one ohm. Below one ohm will void the warranty.

I recently ordered 2 Tantric HDD 18s. I got the carbon fiber dust caps on them, mainly for cosmetic appearance. But are there any real performence benefits over normal caps?

That was infact the information I was given in an email from a FI rep.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHH BUTTTTTTTTTTT HURTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Absolutely killing me!!! Was told in Feb that some Time in July-ish, there would be a killer 12 released. What was released in sept? 15 an 18's. What gives guys?
