You do understand that the 7-15 days are BUSINESS days right (Your order has been in for 8 business days, 15 business days is three weeks), and why would you cancel payment? Do you realize that even if it's not done and shipped to your door in a month that the biggest part of the work on it, the machining of and building of the motor has been completed by that point. Every driver starts as blank slugs of steel, machined down and created from scratch. They're then hand assembled and have to go through a curing cycle to set all the glues and such. At that point the basket gets attached, the soft parts get gathered and someone hand assembles the voice coil, cone, spiders and such. I believe at this point, once assembly is complete, that then it has to go to a special machine to charge the magnet/motor. They can't be assembled with the magnet already charged. They are HAND BUILT subs from start to finish and it takes time for that process to happen. Factor in that it's tax refund season, with the sales going on with SSA products alone they have more orders coming in than usual. The process doesn't lend itself to speed but it does lend itself to a superior quality product. You should realize that if you cancel your order after a month that all you're doing is giving someone else who ordered the same thing as you after you placed yours their order that much faster.

I was approached a couple of weeks ago by a customer to build a box. He already had the design, only problem was school was getting busy for me, so i had to put him off a couple of weeks. I finally got some free time today to build it. The bedliner is drying as im typing this, and once its dry I'll be painting the port red (seems almost standard on SSA boxes...) and he'll be picking it up tomorrow, so I'll get a couple of pictures of it installed (and hopefully playing if its not raining). Specs: 6.8 cubes net 8.5" Octaport 32 hz All this going in a Dodge Caliber.

Customer came by, and we put the sub in, put the box in the car, and wired it up. Setup sounds AMAZING running off a Sundown 3k. Sub could definitely take more power. We literally could not have fit a bigger box in this vehicle. Was a perfect fit. Here's a little video to show what this thing can do! *Correction: The box is actually tuned to 34 hz. That's what I get for thinking about 2 boxes at once.

I wouldn't cancel my order...it was just an early morning on the fly remark...I am an but a squire in the school of patience, lol...I don't know Fi, as well as you Alton, but there are few replies and testimonials like yours that are what makes me trust in them and their product. As for "crying", lmao, and not knowing what business days are, I think some have misunderstood my integrity and knowledge of how the world "works". Also I don't care if they answer emails or not, I have not even sent an email nor have I sent a message thru my order page since I made the order as I do know that they are nearly insurmountably busy. I want to also mention that I never said Fi has bad customer service, I am sure that since it is common knowledge they don't email back as soon as people would like that ALL of their customer service that I desire is going into the craftmanship of the driver that I ordered. I am, on the enclosure side of things, also experiencing some extreme delay's in getting my box finished and shipped from FATBOX USA, due to the same "tax season" work load...but I do have the confidence in both company's that they will send quality products at their earliest convenience and when they are satisfied the product is good enough to ship to their customers. Thanks for calling me out on my previous post though. Fi won't lose this customer...I have built my whole rear end of my car in and around the anticipation of this specific order.

Some of yall are cry babies. Don't order anything if your not patient enough to wait for it and also get an understanding of business days as well. I wish these type of threads weren't allowed, I can understand bad customer service but being in your feelings is another thing.

You guys know Fi builds more than just Fi right?

Box is done! Now just waiting for the customer to get here in a few hours so we can put it in his vehicle (and mayhe get to hear it!).

Looks good, did you use black spray paint or bed liner on the enclosure?

Some build pics...

Second coat of bedliner on. Will be painting the port in the morning.

Nice Phat--- figures you were up to something.

I agree, but in the same sense, it takes a long time to get recones from Fi/SSA. Extra week or two for the parts designed for the sub is worth it.

I would also like to add that if this build does do well and the car stays in tact, I will be switching to some 4 inch coil subs.. Preferably SSA Evils or Fi SP4s.

happy birthday buddy
