Its a sundown z v.2. wanted to know if there was anyone closer that i wouldn't have to ship to. The builder is willing to repair it but it'll probably be weeks before i get it back. guess i'll have to wait Thanks for the response.

ever realigned a zv2? isnt ez...

SPL looks like I may need you after all. how much does a repair like this cost and how long will it take. if it can be done in a day I may be willing to drive over to you. its a 12" z v2 with v3 soft parts. Sub has never seen power and the coils are still fresh is there anyway to save the soft parts.

I am wondering how this problem happens?

Shipping, they get dropped and this is what happens.

 

[Chipmunk2k3 10+ year member]

I don't see any evidence of this thing being dropped but its at least 60lbs so improper handling would definitely cause some sort of problem.

its gonna take longer than a day because it has to be realigned then epoxy to cure b4 it can be moved or shims taken out. i can rebuild to stock for you but i hate to tell you the soft parts cant be reused. the coil is im sure damaged and you have to get the old parts out there is no way unless they werent glued properly.

i zv3 coil will NOT fit a zv2. a zv2 will ONLY fit a 4 layer coil.

leave prices to pm's plez

I am the original owner of these subs. I had intended to use them in a high power build but, long story short, I can not complete the build I inteded. They sat on my spare bed boxed up until I met up with Chipmunk2k3. The shipping packages had no damage at all. Square corners and no punctures in the box. The subs were surrounded in the box with form fitting vacuum foam. The magnets do not have a boot and there are no chips in the magnets. There literally isn't a scratch on these subs, anywhere. My belief is that this driver was not assembled correctly.

Nik, an intern at Sundown built these subs. This appears to be the only case where there is an issue with the subs he built. Here is the thread that Nik had posted which gives the details about the subs.

Per my request, Nik used D2 copper coils. Based on the product description he used 8 layer coils. Jacob Fuller has built 18" Z v.2 with v.3 soft parts as well.

I have called Nik numerous times attempting to get resolution to this issue. I have also PM'd him. Currently I have not been able to speak with him nor have I received a PM reply. This appears to be an assembly issue and Nik should cover this. I will be making Nik aware of this thread.

Chipmunk2k3, my suggestion is to wait for Nik's response. If for any reason he does not respond we can attempt send this sub to Sundown and have it repaired. It is your sub if you choose to send it to SPLaudio so be it.

he used a bifolar 4 layer coil NOT a 8layer, a 8 layer will not fit this gap. i can rebuild it exactly as the other sub.

whatever he wants to do its his im just saying i would be happy to help him out if not no biggie.

i would give Nick time to see what he wants to do cause really he built them as up to him if he wants to give a full or partial warrenty...

Hey, Corey. Can the zv3 fit an 8 layer then?
