  1. Just a fyi.. You got the CA hot enough to melt and fail...there is a very good sized glue joint underneath the dustcap and all of the spiders are laminated together... You got it hot enough to vaporize the CA on the joint...because the CA isn't on the former anymore Little happy with the knobs perhaps?
  2. not without cutting it apart..

    Nope They're 7's..

    They do not have crossovers...it's just mids and tweeters. You must run them actively. Passive crossover networking is a huge dis-service to those.
  5. A tracking number was sent to the email that you entered upon ordering...if you hit a wrong key or entered something wrong then you won't get a tracking number. It happens all the time. UPS Quantum view emails you a tracking number...all of the Q's are up to date and have left as far as I know.
  6. the only difference there is the dealership will take your old one in on a trade and give you credit on the new one. too bad that rarely happens in the audio world. speakers don't exactly hold value like a car does lol aside from that it's so hard do recondition something that is magnetized..
  7. If that was the case then we'd still be making the triple stack BTL's There is a difference.. As previously said..nobody knows anything until the day that it shows up and is available for purchase. I know there is a slight difference, but Scott told me there is not a signifigant difference between the single and triple slugs. Go look at how many triple stack 220mm motors you see Go look how many you see like the flying saucer Looks..are everything
  8. Might be tomorrow..might be 3 years from now. Nobody knows...and that's how it rolls It doesn't make your sub inferior...it's just like a car..new models come out when it is time for them to come out.
  9. 1250 watts...is the RMS..and it is the RMS for a reason. 99% of that energy that you are putting into that coil is NOTHING but heat
  10. Really isn't worth getting a BL with that amp... I'm honestly surprised you haven't had issues with burning things up on the SSD. We've had a number of people have issues with those amplifiers and frying things.

    Never heard anything back from you after I emailed you the shipping cost as you decided that you wanted a BTL if I recall correctly. We don't have any BTL's as the magnets are on backorder again until the end of July...we sell them faster then we can get them.
  13. Never know..nobody knows until it shows up.
  14. xmax option is the high xmax coil... the 15 needs the 2 spacers with it (if you have them you should keep them, we won't send new ones if you already have them) and 30mm long screws
  15. We've had probably 5 subs get destroyed in 4 years...we pack them properly..it's rare to have an issue. Others...now I can't comment on how they do things.
  16. Yes you have to pay shipping to us..and then whatever it is for the recone plus shipping back to you (you can calculate that yourself on the website) We do not charge for labor...just whatever it is for the parts plus shipping back to you. It will cost more money for you to ship it to us than it would for us to ship it to you as we get really good UPS rates.
  17. Nope..unless you are in an area where drivers decide to make things signature required (apartment complex etc.)
  18. You can buy a recone and a basket off of the website. You'll need a recone anyhow, you cannot use those parts. But you'll also need to purchase an impact screw driver in order to get those screws out with a 3 pound sledge hammer...they are very very tight. If you are unsure, send it into us. We do not charge labor for doing the recone. You just have to pay return shipping back to you.
  19. You're going to pop spiders and stuff tuning that high..because you need to tune your subsonic filter 2-3Hz below the port tuning frequency..so you're going to miss out a ton of the low end tuning that high..
  20. dude you'll melt the surround off of it..welding = heat. It's trashed, needs a complete rebuild...and there is absolutely no way that thing was shipped in the wooden crate with the foam that it came with either...unless they drove the truck over top of the sub lol.
  21. We can either send you a recone kit, or you can send the sub in for us to do. That's up to you. If you want to send it in for us to do you can easily order a recone off of the website and select "Send in sub" and it will charge you for return shipping. It's definitely annoying for somebody to mess with settings and burn things up
  22. You don't need inductance figures. It plays up to 80Hz fine..and you shouldn't be playing anywhere near that in a HT setup anyhow. As far as what options you would need..really depends on how much power you are running. The Hqts and inductance ring should be a given for the sealed enclosure. If you need cooling or not depends on how much power you intend on running..
  23. We'll give you a deal on a recone for shipping it in. Any body that condones wiring below 1ohm is an idiot. Those korean/chinese amps cannot handle it..the power supply starts freaking out and it just goes bad..quickly. You loose TONS of control the lower you start wiring something. I don't know what they rated them at originally..but i'd call it around 2500 watts. We rate things conservatively..as we see waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much stupid stuff happening. Saying something is 8000 watts rms is just stupid and a marketing ploy.
  24. $65 was for a COIL..that's nothing else but hopes and dreams. You'd have to send one of the subs in to us for us to do. I don't know what the gap height is on those or how the baskets is configured to the top plate. I also do not know the flange size on the basket either..and telling you how to measure everything for us to set it up is going to be a nightmare. Once we get the heights and how everything is set into the log book then we can build kits no problem. We just need one to build off of. Also in regardes to the spider comment? We use poly cotton and kevlar...? "IA" doesn't make anything that would work for that sub... We do though. It's just a Dual 1 or dual 2ohm, no quads.
  25. Don't think you can run an amp at .5ohm nominal load daily either. Any manufacturer that condones doing that is stupid. DO NOT do it. You WILL burn stuff up. Get a dual 2 and wire in parallel to 1ohm, and leave it at that...people thinking you have to wire shit way down to get more power out of it blows my mind...you do NOT do that stuff for daily. A tone burst at an SPL competition..sure..daily. NO. Those korean/chinese amps cannot handle it. They freak out.
