fixed that for you.

You know what I mean, just get a ****** recone.

I'll run it until I can't bear it anymore. And then I'll get a recone.

I emailed DJ/Audioque and inquired about this on Sunday...and still haven't heard back...*****

I would not send it back to DJ. You do remember he is the one that built ur now screwed up sub in the first place.

I'll recone it myself definitely. I was just hoping I'd get some type of leeway on the recone kit. Hopefully. It's not even that old. Gains were set with an O-scope!!!!!!

We have changed spider setups a few times as well as a few other features on these subs. We have a better setup now then even a few months ago. PM me your info so I can look for your email to get your questions answered for you. We are in the middle of redoing our email setup as right now its all filtered into one place and it just gets far to congested and takes us a while to get to each email.

Remove the boot off the motor and get all the info from the labels and send that with your PM. That way we can figure out which version of the HDC you have.

Bahh their kits seem to be the problem. Id buy quality parts from members online and have a sub with much better quality parts. There is a reason their subs are so cheap compared to other companys and it's cause they use junky soft parts. Pro-Rabbit I love ya but AQ's soft parts have been known to fail and AQ has done nothing about it. They just keep pushing it out the door. Love the amps hate the subs. Pro-rabbit u need to go up to old man DJ and slap him in the mouth. Maybe then he will get his butt in gear.

The only issue with a drop in recone if the "end user" uses them is 1. they get the wrong kit 2. they don't install it correct 3. they don't install it correct.

There is a reason many companies do not just offer drop in recones as variations in subs and many other "end user" issues can arise from a recone which in turn make the company look bad and yet its not their fault.

Rabbit u can not blame everything on the end user. Thats what all companys do when they knowing send out low grade product. Always the users fault never the company.

If i was you, i would contact AQ just like Rabbit says, and maybe they could help you out. Listening to these guys is not helping. Maybe it's a defect from the factory, you never know, And yeah i would say it's user error, (Running 2000+watts on a 1000 watt rms sub!!!) what do u expect. It amazes me how people on here know more about building subs than the original company does!!! go figure. I've only know of a couple of guys on here that i would listen to concerning subs, and the parts to make it work, that's PSI, Resko1, SplAudio, and Jacob

I sent Rabbit a PM, I'll see what AQ is able to do, since the sub is practically new. We all know that they're rated for 1000w RMS. But, (I know I'm not the only one who remembers this) AQ used to showcase competitors they sponsored and specifically state what amps they were using.

So you rate it at 1000w RMS, but you showcase and show off people sending 3x that to the sub? Rating it at 1000w is a smart move, for warranty purposes. But we all know most people don't send under 1k to the sub.

I didn't compete with it, I had the enclosure made to their specs, had a stout RF amp, HO alt, 1/0 gauge everywhere, BIG3 (steady voltage), and MOST importantly, the gains were set with an O-scope. It can't get any safer than that!!!

I'm not blaming all issues on the user, but it does pose a huge problem for companies. Personally I'm not a fan of even selling recones. You just do not know the skill level of those who are installing them.

Yea, the enclosure was my design and I'm sure we can get this worked out just fine. I replied to your PM. Let me know if there is anything else we/I can help you with.
