Goop it..and be done

I'd say most likely it's already on the way, no need to do a paypal claim and all of that stuff...they are not going to rip you off man, relax.

The new ones aren't quite available just yet. They are a solid upgrade from the older ones though

Tens of thousands of subs have been shipped like that...there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Every now and then one will take a dive off of a belt or something and end up getting broken, in 6 years we've had less than 15 claims.

16v is far from idiot proof...it can be much harder on amplifiers especially if you try to run a lower impedance.. 14v system is ideal, but I run 12v with a shit ton of reserve. You also must run a separate electrical system from your ecu on your car..otherwise you'll burn stuff up

My crystal ball says it will continue to be a hoarde of 'look what i can do' and 'oh ME TOO' people. ..innovation..not much, the industry can barely handle/tolerate what's currently on the market as-is.

99.9% of the time when that happens the subs are moving too much and you've snapped the surround tight and de-formed the cone body causing the dustcap to come off. The 10's are all put on with a glue that is like the 'amazing goop' or 'e6000' that you can get at any hardware store..kmart..walmart etc. What amp do you have? Where is your box tuned? Where is your subsonic filter set?

You definitely don't want to use a longer coil wind especially with a linear roll spider. Linear spiders by nature suck after about 12mm of movement..they just don't work right. It's almost as bad as a poorly designed progressive spider that pops/cracks etc. 10x3 spider in and of itself just isn't the greatest idea

Odds are you burnt the leads up..the subsonic filters suck ass on the rockford amps. You'll have to pay for a recone..warranty does not cover open or burnt coils, just manufacturing defect.

thanks thanks!

No, they are totally different subs. You can not make a N2 into a N3 by reconing it.

Feelin' the love guys..thanks!

Haven't had any of those for years since we/they quit making that style of motor. Sorry.

Actually he said outwardly the motors appeared to be similar. That says nothing about similarities within the motor, and frankly he doesn't even give any external measurements of the motor itself to confirm they are anything more than similar in appearance. Also, if you look at the actual measured T/S parameters you can see they are different drivers. The Xcon has a higher Q, lower Fs, lower Le and higher Mms. Plus the Xcon has slightly more linear excursion and I believe higher thermal power handling as well. It is still an Fi copy with a couple alterations. Quoted "Any differences from the Q are probably in the voice coil itself and the gap geometry and possibly the pole piece machining." Coil is different, suspension is different, magnet ID is different, dust cap is different, gap is different, pole piece is different, back plate is different, cooling is different. You can step off of your soap box now. -the guy thats built hundreds of them.

They have changed to Fedex recently any how..I don't know how the brokerage fees are with them.

USPS lost about 12 packages which is why we quit using them many years ago..because they would not pay to replace them.

I spent 2 hours in the chat last night explaining this to you..you have mayhems.

No. You can not change them, they are what they are. You will most likely have to purchase new subs and sell what you have. I doubt if Am will have what you need on the shelf.

That's a soundstream xxx basket fwiw. Not the frame that Fi uses / owns the patent on.

If what you have sounds fine for the application that you have it in, then do not mix the woofers. You do not want to have a standard qts and a high qts mixed in together..it'l cause some weird things with the response curve to happen.

nothing but myth..they break in over time, just play them and set your subsonic filter properly

I'll make it bigger for you too to make sure that you can see it.. Consdiering a 20 dollar hunk of neo previously is now 114 dollars..I wouldn't be bitching if I were you. It's still cheaper then anybody else on the market, you can go pay 1800 dollars for a Z series woofer if you would like...that's known as raping the consumer. The price is only adjusted to the cost of materials going up..which EVERYTHING has gone up. We ate it for quite some time while I was there and the reason was waiting until the SP4 and Team versions of the subs were available, or near available. If you don't like it..it's as simple as not buying it. Go pay 1800 dollars for the Z series woofer or 1000-1200 dollars for the DC neo woofer. Also, To the "You need to sell at OEM prices" argument. Absolutely not. OEM work does not involve anywhere near as much work as the Fi product line does. OEM clients buy hundreds of speakers at a time and they are all the same which makes it easy to build and do. Margins are VERY VERY VERY slim doing OEM work in the USA so you have to sell hundreds and hundreds of them in order to make a dollar.. I don't know about you, but I don't think you would like to bust your ass for 10 hours a day and walk home with 50 bucks in your pocket. That doesn't exactly pay the bills and earn you a living. (and no, i don't work there any longer) troll on.

I answered you..go read. If you do not like the answer, i suggest you ask the yard gnomes...they have all the answers. The staff can give you a vacation if you would like to continue trolling as I gave you the answer to your question...if you're unable to comprehend it..that's not my fault.
