i purchased an SSD15 for my niece's car back in October i believe. built a nice ported enclosure around 3.5 cu/ft. i also installed a Kolossus Fleks 0 Gauge amp kit to an ASA800.2 powerbass amp. power at the amp was at 13.6 to 13.8 at full tilt. i also set the gain with a volt meter and tinkered with it by ear. i am no expert by any means, but i did a lot of reading on the subject of install to avoid any kind of clipping. anyways, i told her not to mess with the setting on the head unit. well, played around with her system several months later to find all the settings were jacked up, loud button on, bass boosted in the eq. changed anything back to where i had them originally and reminded her to not touch. besides, the speaker hit hard enough to give you a head ache at the proper settings. i get a call from her a week ago saying her speaker is making a horrible noise. so i take a look at it. i hear nothing but cracking and popping. i check all the settings and sure enough they are all jacked up again. now, i don't totally blame her for the settings being changed. she has a criminal thinking boyfriend that i would put money on is guilty.

anyways, sorry about the rant. what i need to know is how to go about having the speaker reconed. do i order a kit from Fi and find someone locally to recone it or can i send it to Fi and have it done. thanks.

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

what I do to prevent things like that from happening is setting the amps gains with loud\bassbost setting altheway up so if the setings are messed with, don't got to wory about cliping. I do this because my dad drives my car allot and turns everything up. And no blow speakers yay!!!

I wished my dad liked driving my car with the subwoofers and turning it up
