August 30, 201213 yr alot of high end SPL woofers are not made in a 10 inch sub. for many reasons, 1 the size of the motor can some times be larger then the cut out of the driver. 2 the mechanical limits of a small diameter spider would limit the throw, 3 the 10 driver purposes alot of issues and clashes when building a SPL or high throw driver, they are commonly special order from companies who are willing to do so for a experienced competitor in a cone area limited class im not sure if any of those reasons are why FI does not offer one.. but i can tell you those are most common with other builders.
August 30, 201213 yr Author Ohhh. I really enjoy working with the 10 ". Would love to see the 10" FI BTL N2)))
August 31, 201213 yr Problem is frame geometry on the 10". We can fit the motor, use the same 8" spider, but given the power handling and overall linearity of the N2 the rock ratio/geometry simply isnt optimal. We have been asked many times, but we simply do not want to put out something we feel isnt "right" just to sell a sub.Thanks,Scott
