Got my new Fi bl 12 with a flatwind coil. i had it hooked up to a pioneer 2 ohm amp at like 600 rms. it was making a strange sound that i couldnt detect. maybe the tinsels hitting the cone? but it wasnt flexing very much. it is a dual 2 ohm voice coil btw.

would love to help but your not saying anything... and your link dont work.

sorry i wish i knew how to explain it better. i think the link works now if that can help. it sounds like it was reaching its limits but i have seen bl 12s flex twice what mine was at the point it starting making this sound.

You didnt let them run free air?

the only time i have played them was free air. how long and to what tone should it sit free air on

Depends on volume,amp setting. Not very long they bottom out and then make funny noises.

is that what i might be hearing then. will they eventualy flex more or are they at their mechanical limits

They are going to make a small noise free air. Its the mechanical noise a woofer makes. I hope you don't have full power going to those free air. If so back down the gain A LOT while they are hooked up free air.

Probably clipping the pee willy out of the amp.

Put the sub in the box where it belongs

I can't watch the video either. But you could be bottoming out the subs. Not a good idea. Like I said above turn the gain way down if you are running them free air.

p.s you've only got one coil hooked up.

to be honest im not sure what the gain was set at. the amp is my friends that he has for 2 jl 12w2s.

Since when does fi use yellow spiders?

Sorry had to

Since when does fi use yellow spiders?

Could have been reconed?

the sub is brand new. just ordered late november. is it bad to have one coil hooked up. should i have had it at 4 ohms. and to get the storry straight, my name is walker. so s friend decided to call me chuck one day thanks to chuck norris playing walker in walker texas ranger.

Been using those for OEM for quite some time, we got tired of people not understanding the concept of the subsonic filter so we designed the spider to have the old loose leads that do not fatigue as much when you are yanking things below tuning like the integrated leads do.

They are a bit more abuse tolerant / dummy proof.

Holy shit reading fail on my part.
