Of course he didn't drop it. I guess nobody noticed he took the hammer to it that was layin next to it.
Coinsidence? I think not!

as u look in the picture, those are rubber hammers that i used to try to get the two pieces in the right position so the sub would work, and as for the "clipping of the sub" what do u mean

Blurry video ftl.

Could not distinguish between rubber and steel.

strontium ferrite is brittle... I am surprised no one else has seen this happen...

It was a bad magnet, couldn't take the heat... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

my xxx magnet did the same thing....caused by dropage! no other way for it to happen.

UPS dropped mine, and then denied the claim.

But it takes a hell of a force to cause a magnet to break. U had to do something to it.

I'd say its possible that very fast temperature increase or decrease could cause it, or it could just have been a faulty magnet

either way I'd be surprised if Fi doesn't take care of you, though it is very well possible you just dropped it and made up a story

Faulty ferrite. Certainly not Fi's fault.

Stranger things have happened. Just shoot them an email and I'm sure they will help you out.

Best,

Mark

It had to have been dropped. Or maybe it was bottoming out really hard against the backplate and split the ferrite?

The former/coil would fail way before the magnet.

edit: Nevermind, I thought the top plate shifted from first glance, but it looks like the magnet did crack all the way around.

One out of every 2500 or so magnets will do it...as we do not make the slugs ourself in house there isn't much we can do about it to keep it from happening, just the nature of the beast.

Email us, we'll get it taken care of.
