If you are suggesting this about SSA, then i suggest you get your information correct. They are LUCKY if they make $15-$20 per driver. You know how much Sundown and Skar and the other companies are making using chinese labor and parts? Five to ten times as much. Now tell me who's hoarding the profit. There is a reason our economy sucks and you don't see US made products much anymore. People want cheap shit and they want it right now. Oh man, I wish we were in a position to "hoard the profit". People don't know how many orders are actually processed, how much actually makes it to us after all the shipping/fees/processing/overhead etc. If we were even remotely in the same time zone to 'hoard profit', Mark and I would not have full time jobs outside of audio. The size of the store and the rate the build house can complete orders is totally independent from each other. I have said a number of times, if people want faster turn around, we can easily raise prices so our build house can charge us a lot more so they can hire more people to increase capacity to reduce turn around time.

Hey now.

Or we can go to China and fix the issue.

I can wait and I have been waiting. I'm more excited than ever to get my sub. My issue is they quote 21+ business day build time and its clearly not the case. It's misleading and in the end these wait times will slow business (in a bad way) which I guess will help others. Under promise and over deliver. I don't want to turn this Into a negative thread. I've been speaking with Aaron throughout the process and he's always quick to respond and all my other orders from SSA have been great. The 21 business days is the average and is improving, but you have to understand it is not a one for one timeline. There are occasions where they can get behind, just like there are occasions where they are ahead. There are plenty of people who get their orders much faster then 21 business days when the guys at the factory are able to keep up, and those customers see the under promise and over deliver.

You can't say this...other companies can get a recone to you within a month. And no they are not Chinese, and who is to say a recone received in 2 weeks sitting on a shelve is different than one handmade to order. 2 months to receive a product is bad customer service. I am sorry for the timeline, but it is not bad customer service, it is just a backed up factory working as fast as they can.

Sounds good.

Glad to see you posting this. To go along with the topic, I just had a customer pushing to get me to beat pricing on an item that was below our cost (including shipping) because his "competitor buddy" can get them cheap.

I will turn their section back on, IF they will keep up with it and people want it. So if people want it back on, someone shoot them a message.

Listen to this man, it's as if I wrote that post.

Who did you order from? I am not seeing it in SSA or 1800 woofers system.

Sorry, no. That option is not available at this time.

Quality > Quantity.

I ordered may 11th and I'm still waiting..... Lol. a recone? Wow..2 months and you haven't gotten it? That's a little unacceptable. It is in the same build queue. Recones do not get special preferential treatment.

No rear fill in my daily driver.

Sure. I won't be able to wire it all up next weekend as I will be in NY. Maybe I can get emails and messages done early one night coming up.

Thats going to hurt someone.

Master Mechanic?

Sounds like you need to find a new shop. Bingo.

The plan is they will be added.

It was not made with cheap components, the installer needs an update. Do you have all 4 RCA inputs fed? Was another amplifier tried? Also, if the noise is being reduced when something is being placed inline before the Minotaur, doesn't that sound like it is something before the Minotaur causing the noise?

The Icon will be great in that box. We provide a range for enclosure sizes as there is no magic bullet / one size fits all solution. The Khaotik boxes are a nice balance for the all of the SSA sub woofer options, as in they all will work in the boxes, except the Evil has different needs.

Are you planning to rebuild it still? I wish there was a way to put an Evil in my little wagon, while still seeing out the back window and keeping the car seat.

A recone kit is in the build queue like every other item built. Recone service takes a little longer as it takes more time to tear down and rebuild a sub woofer then it does to buy new.
