I was on my way to work not even listening to it loud and it cut out....i got to work, popped my trunk and it's rattling from inside the box....bad, pretty sure it's blown. I'm going to contact infinity cuz the sub is literally less than 3 months old only problem is i bought it off ebay, but it was sealed in the box when i got it, think they will honor the warranty?

you will probably get a replacement as long as you didn't overpower it too much.

 
Rep Power: 328

They arent going to warranty a sub bought off ebay. Most companies won't warranty anything you buy online. Your best bet is to just tell them you bought it from a store, and you lost the receipt, and hope they believe you.

 
Rep Power: 361

wow i should read more into it. if buy the same sub from a store, send the old one back as broken, then return one of the 2 new ones once you get a replacement.

 
Rep Power: 312

i'll try, i'm not holding my breath tho....any ideas on what a good sub for 1.0 cubic ft sealed box is?

 
Rep Power: 312

well they emailed me back and they're going to replace it, this is why i love infinity, best car audio and best customer service, i'm happy can u tell hehehe

 
Rep Power: 0

im speechless, they didnt even ask for proof of purchase or anything?

 
Rep Power: 266

now that's customer service. Now they know Infinity will be his first choice for life

 
Rep Power: 312

Damn your lucky... Thats good.. At least you dident have to go threw a whole bunch of b/s to make up a lie about where you got it and all.. They are a GREAT company!!

 
Rep Power: 312

well i just got the email that it's scheduled for delivery on mon, so i'll get the new one then, the sub weighed in at 20 pounds, does that seem a little high for you guys? it does to me at least

 
Rep Power: 319

wait...did u have to send the old one back?...my guess is u did so they can send u the new one

 
Rep Power: 312

yea, i had to send it back to them, sux too, cuz i live in phoenix about 15-20 miles away from the warehouse they told me to ship it to. I looked up the warehouses number and both were disconnected so i had to pay $10.00 to ship it across town lol

srink rap is easy to do

 
Rep Power: 312

what? nah dude, i can't juggle

 
Rep Power: 288

^^what does that have to do with shrink wrap?

 
Rep Power: 312

well shrinkwrapping didn't have much to do with shipping my sub back or getting a new one so i said something that was irrelevent as a joke...

 
Rep Power: 312

I got the sub in today, and it's brand spankin new and is in soooo much better shape than the ebay one, where the cone connects to the spider is perfect where the other one was little shakey...i haven't put it in yet, but i will tomorrow, i'm really lookin forward to see how it sounds cuz i put new 6.5s in my kick panels and amped them, then another thing i'm doin tomorrow is takin out my sony 6x9s (:barf: ) and putting some infinity 6.5s in their place, so wish me luck!

 
Rep Power: 0

damn bro, sounds like you have your work cut out for ya... good luck with everything, try not to fry this sub

edit: that shrinkwrap/juggling comment was priceless

 
Rep Power: 273

my kicker l7's were replaced for free and they came w/warranty off ebay

 
Rep Power: 312

well i put the new sub in, i cant find the ****ing adapter for the 6x9s to 6.5s so thats gets to get put on for another day, at first the sub sounded like **** then it cut out, so the 4 letter words started flying then i realized that i used banana plugs for the wires coming from the box to the first voice coil and they fell off (i had to use banana plug cuz the wires going from voice coil to voice coil are 8awg, and so is the leads from the box) so i pulled the sub back out, took the bana plugs off, then out of shear anger i stomped on, peed, yelled at, drove over, talked down to, and burned them. then put the sub back in without the banana plugs, and it sounds great lol.
Usafcushman, i trust what you have to say about sq so is bass boost (50hz) a good thing or bad thing? i think it's prolly a bad thing cuz when i think of sq, i think of the same db level accross the frequency range, right? my amp has 6db and 12 db boost btw, and of course it's off right now.

 
Rep Power: 0

bass boost is great: it gives people that have A.D.D. a **** other than the gain control to turn...

for your particular application, i'd leave it off... anyone should feel free to correct me if i'm wrong (i'm more of a brain-rattling SPL guy myself), but i wouldn't imagine a sealed 10" driver would have very good SQ at anything below 80hz, and that may even be pushing it... but if you think it sounds better, having it on is not gonna hurt anything, unless you overexert your sub... and hell, even if you fry it, it's been proven that your warranty kicks ***... just don't blame me

 
Rep Power: 312

lol thanks man, i'm gonna play with the tuning a little more, on the sheet that comes with the sub it says the crossover frequency is 150 hz, but the excursion and frequency responces graphs go well past 300, so 150 seems a little low dont u think? it's a kappa perfect 12.1d btw

 
Rep Power: 265

20lbs sheesh my one sub weights around 50lbs

 
Rep Power: 312

yea, after i thought about it 20 lbs is about right, dunno why i said that lol

 
Rep Power: 265

lmao

 
Rep Power: 380

Over-excursion is far more common in vented enclosures anyway.

 
Rep Power: 312

this perfect does hae a hell of a lot of excursion though, never seen a sub move this much, it's actually pretty entertaining lol
