SMD mods ****** the DC cawk

[Julian 10+ year member]

Well we can start off the cooling from the nightshade is a botched version of the cooling off of the Fi Q. The designs are mostly all old RE designs that Scott Atwell (Fi/AA/Etc) designed when he was still with RE. David previously from RE but now of PSI then sold the designs to Rusty Of DC and that's where they come from. Since the patent laws in china are loose and our laws don't hold any value anyone with a CNC machine and a probe can copy anything without even knowing how it works or why it works.

Idk where it is, but there was a pic with the old re line next to dc's line up and they were exactly the same

and to get back on track, this isnt simply a "dc *****" thing...its about being able to bash multiple companies, which other people were doing because they arent forum huggers, but as soon as DC was spoken against, threads get locked and people banned.

As i said, I guess a brick and mortar Boss dealer doesnt have right to earn his living? I guess the guy working 9-5 loading Boss crates is less of a human being then the guy loading DC crates?

My team has had no luck with their parts staying together when pushed hard...just my experience

Switched brands and never looked back

Whether they copy or not is irrelevant if they make a good product at a decent price... People can say their soft parts **** but imo Fi's are worse and a few other companies. AQ, Fi the list goes on.

That's a stretch, I've had Zero issues with many Fi built subs I've used. You would be surprised how many brands Fi OEMS for.. same softparts... and those aren't ******?

Yeah but Boss is over-priced junk with crap business practice so in that yes DC does deserve what they get more as a better company all around.

Well considering the new N2's have crappy glue and spiders and so do the Q's I don't see how you can say that. People have not even touched the coil on an N2 yet they've come completely unwound due to glue failure.

What ascendants did you swap to? and Ascendant woofers are more expensive last time I checked...

I know many people and I have had tons of success with the N2's, No coil failure even running 5 k+ to them each.

One of the shops in my town is actually an authorized dealer of Boss. They do pretty good work and offer a pretty good warranty on the boss stuff...........but what about these "online" DC dealers that undercut brick and mortar prices and drive consumers away from Brick and mortar DC suppliers? Thats pretty commendable

Again, Im not trying to bash DC. Rusty has great CS, Thor has helped my guys out here. ****, even the lvl 3 is a really nice sounding woofer for something that also gets loud. Im speaking against the notion that they are untouchable when it comes to disputes about brands

Really? Jesse Adkins has gone through 2 of them on 5k+ due to glue failure... Learn to read I said GLUE failure not COIL failure.

 

[bhsdriller 10+ year member]

I've had no problems with my fi oem'd subs

Have had an hdc3 and an American bass HD have the coil unwind exactly the same lol

Failure of the glue is a failure of the coil.. lol
