Well today I am going to ATTEMPT to repair the tinsel slap on a friends 12" SSD. I have heard of using felt but will that actually work? I really need some advice on how to fix this sub that fi screwed him over on.

yes, cut a piece of felt into an oval and spray on 3M adhesive. place it on the underside of the cone where tinsel would slap. easy fix man

Fi is another brand I will not buy from the CONSISTANT tinsel slap issues ive read about and the fix they offer is not fair either...I would not accept felt as a solution

i think every1 should do what DD does and just have direct connect, get rid of lead slap plus you won't have those stupid push terminals. back to orginal topic yes felt pad is the only thing YOU can do to fix it, i just put a sh1t load of 3mm spray then play it for a day or two then check it to make sure it staying.

*sigh* yes the fix is not fair. They charge you for both the shipping there and back. And all they are going to do is put felt on it. This guy wasted his money badly on this sub. I regret now reccomending him Fi.

Well, I got to looking at the sub alot closer earlier, and the sub already has the velvet glued to the cone. Then I look at the tinsels, and one has actully came completely off of the soilder joint. I'm going to get my dad to silder it back on, then see if it is still slapping.

I have never had a problem, but has it effected the performance of the sub at all?

The tinsel finnally came undown. Performace was effected. How would you like riding in a truck with a sub behind you that slaps annoyingly loud on every note?

call him back and explain that you cant afford the shipping costs and maybe that you dont think its fair since the sub wasnt right when you got it....explain to him that it would be a good business gesture on his part and see what he says....who knows maybe hell split the shipping costs AT LEAST....all he can do is say no right?

I never developed tinsel slap cause my sub stopped working for some reason after about 45min of play, no over exursion or anything like that. Felt was already on mine, but I payed to ship it there, he built me a new one and shipped it back, didn't ask to pay shipping to return it.

Scott should have recalled all of those subs with this bullsh1t issue and he should have payed for shipping to him and back to his customers.That's what I would have done if I were selling defective products.

Yes...all of DD's current subs have 10ga direct leads woven into/between the spiders.

They have ~10" of Stinger 10ga wire off the basket to make the connection w/.

Even if they had to up their prices $5-10 a sub to cover the extra cost.

Nick, I'll try man. I'll need to get a new soldering gun and some solder though.

Why is he scared to try it? All he needs to do is desolder the old spot and put the wire back thru...?

I'm not too good w/ soldering smaller stuff, but i'll try man.

someone should send a link of this thread to scott so he can see how annoyed people are with this tensil slap and he can give his reasoning to why there isnt a better design.

if he helped design the new AA subs would they have the same tensil slap problem?

AHAHA.. We dont hide anything or delete anything off of our forums or anyone elses :-) I have said from day one that any issues people have with our products on public forums only serves to make them better. While I dont have time to patrol all forums all the time, I do address/solve issues people have.

I have used this method for building subs for over a decade and have had no issue until recently. We have solved many issues with customer setups and are tooling new baskets and parts to make the subs as bullet proof as possible. While I dont believe there is an epidemic (as it seems people try to make it) we are constantly tuning and tweaking things to make sure that we build the best subs possible.

I have tried MANY different woven leads and versions of it over the years... resulting in failures (both short and long term), fires, and other problems. We have had the least amount of issues with the system we have been using and have worked with a specific lead wire company on new materials as well. What I see as a solution, is currently being developed and will probably make its way into the subs in about 4 months. While this is not seen as a solution to a problem, it is looked at as simply making one area were things can go wrong that much stronger.

When we have tested beds like Steve Meade that push several times what we recommend to subs on a daily basis without failures we know what our products can do. We have several thousand subs on the market and very few complaints. But we do take these seriously and strive for solutions.

As for our warranty... we stand by our products and feel that they are some of the best out there. But we simply do not pay for shipping a product back to us to "check out". I have seen it too many times that a customer sends something in that is good... then to talk to them to have them realize where something was set up wrong or wired incorrectly... or to explain what a subsonic filter is. We most definitely do pay shipping back for anything that is warrantied. And all too often cover things that should not be...

We strive to make the best products available and will continue to tweak as new ideas or solutions become available.

Now please delete and or burn this thread ;)

Thanks,
Scott

I read some pretty uncalled for things by one low-hz person, so i can see why.

"While this is not seen as a solution to a problem, it is looked at as simply making one area where things can go wrong that much stronger"

Joey- No, thats not at all what he said.


"I have seen it too many times that a customer sends something in that is good... then to talk to them to have them realize where something was set up wrong or wired incorrectly... or to explain what a subsonic filter is. "

He is saying that people mess things up, view things as a problem that are not, or don't know how to set up their system properly. I can't tell you how many people I've explained a subsonic filter to- and I don't work at a shop, let alone own a car audio company.

No, there definitely isnt a problem with them. And being somewhat of a unique company we can impliment changes immediately should we feel something is needed. While we are working on different tech for leadwire, as I have been for many years, I still keep coming back to what has the least amount of problems and using that. We havent had any problems with our cooling that we have been using on the BLs and BTLs either, but we are changing that after we get back from dB Drag Finals as well. When we feel something is better we use it.

We change things for the better whether it is really "needed" or not. If we feel it is better or even solves something that can occur in 1 out of 1000 setups, yet doesnt change the functionality in the other 999 of them, then why not?


I havent banned or pushed for banning anyone anywhere. Far from my style there. I dont own or control the forum that we are on, and dont think I have ever really used any "mod power" on my own forum outside of posting stickies or adding info to a post for the OPs benefit. Like I had mentioned earlier... any issues that people have are not whisked away. It only serves to make the products better. Fi is in this for the long run and Im sure will impliment many changes to the current lines over the years, as well as draw from those changes for new lines.

Off to work :-)

lmao! " nowplease delete this thread" lol. at least he has a sense of humor and doesnt get bent out of shape. and im sure some of the subs with the lead problem were "abused" or wired incorectly, but ive talked to a few that didnt abuse theres and just had issues with them......not every woofer is perfect ...HOPEFULLY it will no longer be an issue.

Nice,laughing at the matter at hand,how professional.

"But we simply do not pay for shipping a product back to us to "check out".

Well...it would be the right thing to do to reimburse the money spent on shipping the item that was warrantied because of a manufacturing defect.For things that aren't covered...don't pay for shipping back.Don't the methods you're praticing just seem unfair to the people that are inconvenienced by faulty products?

"No, there definitely isnt a problem with them."

Amazing.People seem to say otherwise.What a bunch of liars,I guess they're just looking to get freebies.Those felt pads sure are appealing.

agreed Rob in reguards to the felt and there seems to be more than "1 out of a 1000" why dont we count the number of users on ecoustics alone who had this problem let alone other forums. Sure doesnt seem like only a 1 in 1000 failure rate to me.

NIck if you took out the sub and one of the leads was completely off it was probably that one hitting the cone since it was off, Resolder it and see if it still does it....

That's what I'm going to do treo. But see, it was slapping before it came off. But odds are, the tinsel is too frayed to solder back on, it will be too short. It might be time for a recone.

NickV... we will gladly repair it under warranty. There has never been an issue for that. We simply have the policy that the sub needs to be returned to us first. I am sorry if our policy doesnt seem fair, I can see your position on this. But it is the same policy I, and every other company I could find a warranty on has.
If youd like to try and "repair" it I will make note and ensure you that it wont void any sort of warranty. We will gladly repair it at anytime in the future as well.
If you would like to contact me via email to square this one away, I would be more than happy to do so. As I mentioned earlier I dont have much time to take care of the balance of forums like I did when I started Fi... which is kind of sad as I do enjoy the direct communication.

As for my buddy Rob, you have seen me post enough to know that I would never laugh at a customer or their situation. I know that twisting words and comments is a huge net/forum passtime and I do appreciate the creative ways that you practice the art... but it simply isnt the case. I was amused/appauled that people would think that I would delete posts to cover up someones problems, hence the initial paragraph. My integrity was called into question and I felt it needed a little defending (which is an absolute rarity)
Rob, let me know what size shirt you are and Ill gladly send you one out. They are very absorbent and clean up pet mess, oil, or work well as kindling for camp fires and torches.

Thanks... now back to work :-)

All I can say is my Q has NEVER let me down. It pounds hard and I use it often. It replaced my Mag and has done so respectfully, with money to spare. If SI made an 18" sub I would never had considered FI. I just needed to hear/feel an 18" in my application. FI filled that void very well.

I'm not here to twist your words or my own in order to make things appear as they aren't.I post how I feel on a no bullsh1t basis.The fact that you said "Ahahaha" or whatever it was and didn't even bother to address Nick with his problem until a bit ago is also kind of lame in my opinion,not that it matters.Since you've offered the shirt...I'll tell you what I'll do with it,I'll raffle it off to one of these guys that likes Fi and either you can send it to them or you can send it to me and I'll send it to them.I don't jump up and down in an excited manner just because someone is giving away freebies.Hmmm...maybe someone will trade me a DD shirt for the Fi shirt :-)

Well Nick this did get you a few things you didnt have before from FI. But I have to agree not paying for shipping both ways isnt fair in my opinion if it is proven to be defective and not misuse like Mr. Atwell is concerned about. And afterall he did admit at least "1 in 1000" DO fail. Its only good business practice in my opinion to stand behind the sub shipping costs both ways if it was from failure.

Nah, I am going to pay shipping there. It is worth it and really only fair. It worked for a little while when we first got the sub, and then it developed, so we took it out and its been just sitting for like 2 months lol. Now the owner wants some bump back in his truck, so we r going to get it fixed.

Please send an email to Orders@FiCarAudio.com with your real name, Ecoustics name, shirt size and address and Ill get your shirts out.
I do request that whatever you use the shirts for, you post pics. (Except for the toilet paper...enough said)


Fi is short for Hi-Fi which is short for High Fidelity. While it is supposed to be pronounced as a word like figh, feye... it seems most think its an acronym and use it as eff-eye.
I had been saving the name for a few years wanting to use it for a higher end home audio company, but when it came time to name a car audio company I couldnt think of anything and simply took that one.
Now Ill need to come up with another home audio name before that project launches.

How come you listed the reason for mine?I still don't want it though,freebies are not for me.Give it to the first kid you see at world finals wearing some really lame shirt and tell him he has to put it on immediately :-)

I'm not too good for a shirt but I can afford to buy one so.Give the free one to someone who needs it or can't spare money on it.I don't take what I don't need,only greedy f ucks do that type of sh1t.

I'm not rich and I'm not poor. I get by ok. If I drop $300 on a product, a $5 t-shirt isn't much to ask for. Especially if it's an item that advertises their company, like a sticker. One would think these should be included just to spread the word. My $.02.
