You are in line...there's 93 other people that are ahead of you that have ordered Q's during the back order time until we got steel in..they have to be done first so yours may take an extra day or two. That simply is how it is, we actually machine and build everything here..none of this rebox and ship out from china stuff from us. The funny thing is..our prices are still cheaper then what others import from china...and we machine and build it all in house.

Today is only the 7th business day btw...normal lead time right now is 7-10.

Depends on if you ordered a N2 or N3..

Oh yeah definitely not an issue there. We got our run of steel in and are running parts.

no clue..when it goes is when it goes.. you have to understand there's a 10" tall stack of tickets that have to be filled...where you are in the stack off the top of my head on memorial day weekend..no clue lol.

Analogy: You do not use a chrome plated socket for something that you are going to smack with an air impact wrench, even though they are the same sized bolts..odds are you are going to snap the chrome plated socket. You use an impact socket for impact tools. ie: You use a BL for the purpose that the BL is made for (read the blub about the product line on the website), and you use the SSD for what it is intended for.

yes it is.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different.

If it is your first time reconing I highly suggest 15 minute epoxy.

..it's now the 'hyper pole'

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/downloads.html Use the dual xcon 12 box..will work fine.

A lot of companies use Neos... ? Nope and especially not a block either. HAHAHAHA... You got to be kidding. Too much attention is needed for any sub if the user is an idiot. It is difficult to walk and chew gum at the same time...

ladies/gents if you've emailed us in the past 5 days or so i've been unable to reply in a timely manner due to praying to the porcelain gods via a flu virus...trying to play catchup right now thanks for your patience.

Posting from my phone so you will stop freaking out. Im mia until Monday. Recones take second place to normal orders. We will not have our cones in until today if not monday next week to build them with. We had just enough for production and that's it...then we will settle all of the random stuff that is not new product at that time. Had you emailed me you would have gotten an out or office reply. Relax. We are still in this transition period of being dependant on things that are outside of our control.

If it is a real high pitched squeel coming from the amplifier itself and not through the speakers it is the torroids screaming.. It happened on some of the 800.4's and the 1500's...nothing you can do about it either.

I can not give you an approximate number..which I took plenty of time yesterday explaining why I can not. Until I hear something, it is staying the same.

If we get to the point where we can make them ourselves..sure I'd rather not be like Dr. Dre and have knockoff earbuds coming from china for 1/10th of the price...that are the exact same. I'll have to talk to Jay-Z and Diddy and see what they say about doing something haha

150+ day lead time on production of raw materials...that does not include the 30 days shipping time, and the 1 day to 6 weeks if not longer if customs wants to hold it.. You can not function with that. It is significantly more expensive to make stuff here, but we won't be out of it for over half of a year any longer and once everything smooths out there will not be any out of stock items.

Control freak issues there. We're totally on the if we don't do it ourselves then we are not doing it tangent..

Take a walk in our shoes for a minute. When you have never done business with a foundry before you have to learn all of their capabilities (which has been the past few months as we decided to move all raw material production here to the states). You also have to learn what their machines can and can not run and how big the dies can and can not be. They have to be machined a certain way for extra material to flow out of them so they can be machined down at a later date. You also have to take into consideration on how you are going to machine the excess material off because in certain places it makes it harder on our lathes and CNC machines here to cut the excess steel bits off. Once you have done an initial die you have to get a few parts pulled off of it, machine them down and finish them..and then you have to approve the design. (Which we have already done) Keep in mind that they are not our own personal foundry here in the states. They have a number of people who are employed there and work there and they fill orders in the order that they are received. So, once we approve the forging we get our spot in line for our certain blend of steel material. As our materials are totally different than any other product that is being used that they make. So, we have to wait for that cycle to come around until they are able to melt our material and add the proper alloys and what not you have the proper chemical make up and metallurgy, otherwise..the magnetic properties of it is far below what it should be and the speakers do not work right. They can not melt our material down and add the proper alloys and what not to make other pieces that they make either. Our blend of steel literally is our blend of steel at this foundry. A foundry does not work like a toddlers play doh factory where you simply put yellow play doh in the die and get spaghetti, and next time you put red play doh in the die to get hair, or switching things up to make hot dogs with the round play doh die out of the orange material. I wish it were that simple, would have parts a long time ago if it was. Now, If I were to call them every day and ask them "Hey when are you running our parts?", "Hey when are you running our parts?", "Hey when are you running our parts?". They would become very annoyed with me. Because I already know what the situation is, and we understand that our materials will be made when their schedule allows. They understand that we need the parts as soon as we can possibly have them. There is absolutely no sense in bugging them as they have already stated they will contact us when they are running them and let us know how the production run is going. Business to business is a bit different than business to consumer. We have stated numerous times here that we are waiting on the forgings. Everybody knows that we are waiting on the forgings (The flashing 30 day lead time on the website). Everybody also knows that we will update the forum and the website as soon as we have concrete information to stand on. Until then, as I previously said. It is what it is. We are not going to change the website nor are we going to make an announcement until we for sure know when we are going to have the forgings in our hands. If that is not good enough for you, then I must apologize. I am not going to feed anybody a bunch of lies about what it is and what it is not. Until we have concrete information to stand on and make an announcement with the status stays the same in that we are waiting. We are at the mercy of others that is outside of our control. Hope this clears some things up.

Like Scott said. When we have concrete information we will make an announcement. Until then..it is what it is.

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/downloads/enclosure-designs/category/12.html dual ported box should work fine

No divider or anything..you need to turn your subsonic filter up...if you do not have one. Odds are it is not the box itself now, but the lack of a filter..or one that is improper.

Either way it has been unloaded..others probably have too. Red arrows indicate pops in the spiders that only come from unloading severely (especially in the far outside one)
