  1. Sort of doubt it..the 2" coils we have are very long..and have a very wide OD for a 2" coil.
  2. No..you put it together wrong..or didn't know what you were doing. We've been using the same surround tooling die for every single 12" speaker that goes out the door...there is no way that it 'does not fit' as they are all off of the same tooling that we use every day. The edge of the surround is supposed to go flat around the basket... Watch the video...again, you are jumping the gun pointing fingers . Ask questions before you mess up..there is nothing wrong with asking questions. Thanks.
  3. On those yeah.. We've got a high xmax flatwound too..
  4. Look in the hole in the basket, if it looks like a flat wire coil then it is, if it's round then it isn't.
  5. Might be 5 minutes from now..might be tomorrow...might be 3 weeks from now...if not a few months. Ya never know

  7. Sorry, I haven't put my new price sheet on this laptop yet...they are $140 now for the 18. You can order it off of the site. Thanks! Nick
  8. 2 BL's would be louder..
  9. Isn't a warranty as they simply do not break (They do not have a warranty anyhow)....every one that does break is abused in some way shape or form. We do take care of defects...but it obviously wasn't defected when you got them because they worked fine from October up until now... Odds are it was probably a subsonic filter issue and/or a clipping issue sending a lot of current to one coil and burning the leads on it (There are 16 tinsels on every BTL, you simply do not burn them without trying very hard) 18" Recones are $120 + shipping.
  10. Baaaaaaaaaaaad idea. Just warning..do as you please though .

    Don't have anything from you.. Try to shoot me an email again 'Nick * At * ficaraudio.com' (nospam) Need your name and information as it is a lot easier to look up than the numbers...the transaction numbers is just billing stuff.
  12. Dual 1.. Really don't need a flatwind, copper would be ok.

    I don't have anything from you..what is your email?
  14. Not happening...you'd pay an arm and 3 legs to get that thing to you in time. It should go out today.
  15. Contrary to popular belief we do not sit on the internet/computer 24-7 365 at everybody's beck and call. You got the recone 4 days before you should have gotten it anyways. Anyhow, Use that one as a Chinese hat..we'll send you another one since it is so unacceptable. The surround isn't "Deformed" We've been shipping recones like that for the better part of 10 years. You just stretch the surround back over to where it is supposed to be. It is a foam/rubber compilation, it goes back to the shape that it was pressed into. As far as the scratch..don't know how that got there, it wasn't there when it went into the box. Please remember we do these recones as a service and as a 'thank you'. We do not have to fix other manufacturer's stuff...it'd be a lot easier to say No, you have to buy a Fi product....otherwise you'd be paying 300 dollars for that same recone. Thanks, Nick
  16. Best of luck... The internet is full of very small margins of the same ole stuff for 18 different prices where the lowest one wins. Nothing wrong with being an Entrepreneur..as I am one myself...but you need to think more then twice about jumping into the internet car audio market... If you are in it solely to make money you are already in the wrong state of mind and setting yourself up for a failure .
  17. Touch the leads together and make note of what they read and then subtract the difference. It'l still read the same once you do the math
  18. He has his amps hooked up on a remote gain control knob..probably turned them off...or the amps clicked into protect.
  19. lol you know what i was thinking...for those of us who ordered with the semi-long wait we should get the extra fast shipping ...haha just a suggestion..that'll put you guys over the top in my book $200+++ dollars in shipping.. No way...sorry You are already getting a shirt and free machine time with all of the cooling stuff
  20. Not enough port area.. 12-16 square inches per ONE cubic foot of volume.. Looks like you might have 20sq inches at most.
  21. Ladies/Gents, We're looking at a 3 week wait currently with the BTL's. I've had numerous emails of people asking "Where is my BTL" and somehow they missed the flashing red letters on the website that says "Current lead time as of x/x/xx is 3 weeks" So..here's a picture. This means that it will be 3 weeks before we get magnets in. Then additional build/ship time for your speakers. If you order now, you get free cooling and a T-shirt with your order for being patient and waiting. Thanks! Nick
  22. Sure..you just have to pay the additional shipping. I'll have to make sure that we do not have a distributor set up in the Islands on Monday. What sub are you interested in? Thanks! Nick
  23. You aren't getting it off without breaking it.
  24. Use a sine wave..don't use music as it is dynamic and unpredictable. Nothing wrong with the downfiring box...but you need to figure out what is going on with it. Odds are it is not the speaker. But, check it out free air. Do NOT put a whole lot of power / volume knob to it...your mechanical power handling goes down roughly by a factor of 10. But this will tell you if it is the sub..or your box..or something else. Thanks! Nick
