They were great to deal with when I had contacted them in the past which why I was curious why its taking so long. I contacted meade too, hoping he'd get me somewhere lol.

The popping was so hard to even notice I figured it was something stupid, I mean you could barely hear it, some people told me they couldnt hear it at all they told me I was being crazy , so no I did not think that my 500 dollar sub would collapse apart lol.

Ya it sure would be nice to get ahold of Fi to get this thing repaired............

Almost forgot, heres the voicecoil

No I would guess it had started when it bagan making a popping noise. I figured it was something electrical though, not the sub falling apart, it showed no signs of that until it recently seized up. It was certainly never dropped as this thing is my baby.

HERES THE PICS!!! The first one was before all hell broke lose lol. My setup is, 1 yellow top under the hood, My Btl is in a 5.7 cubic ft box tuned to 30 htz on an Orion 2500D amp, at 1 ohm. Power and Ground are 0 gauge. My head unit is an alpine cde-9874. My car is a 2001 Blazer Extreme. I noticed earlier when I took it out of the box that the magnet had a small crack in it, wasnt too worried about it. Now the whole sub has shifted!! I havent done anything too it, to cause this!! Its falling apart on me Lol.

Thanks!! making an account as we speak. Noticed something else too!! Wait until you this, I dont understand how this happening!!!

i have never uploaded a pic onto a forum before, I'll try.

Ok well I figured I would come here since Fi does not seem to like to email there customers. I bought a Fi BTL 18 fully loaded from their website last summer and for the past 5 months it has made a popping sound. It would do it pretty randomly but usually around half way up. Well after about 5 months the sub seized up. I figured it was the voicecoil, had probably come apart.So I begin removing the cone then the spider when I see that the voicecoil is fine. It was the motor, it had been rubbing up against the voicecoil eventually causing the sub to seize. I pulled out the voicecoil and the motor just snaps against the side what a headache! Im looking at the basket now I notice that the basket is supposed to have six screws holding it to the magnet. Mine has 5!! Fi forgot one of the screws for my basket Im just trying to figure out what I should do now. I am quite mad since i spent 530 dollars on this and it wasnt even fully assembled! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! THANKS!!!
