So I have been going back and forth with Mike at Synergy about the WFO 12's. I picked up a Synergy WFO 35.1 to run on 4 WFO 12's. I also picked up the matching 150.4X 4 channel to run some Synergy fcs65 components. When I tried to order my subs Mike is telling me they are getting in new versions for $259 not their $199 price advertised on the site. Well we know they have a fabrication shop and we all know how to build subs so why not 1st of all remove your Ad that specifically says WFO 12's $199 each or just put me 4 together, Not that hard. He claims thenew ones are 1500 rms but as I stated I have the WFO 35.1 so there would be no way for me to run the 4 I need. Getting fed up All I want is what is Advertised the 1000 rms WFO 12's for $199 why is this so hard? Went from loving this company to we'll see!

Why does the RMS difference mean you can't use 4? It doesn't work that way.

So Mike has said he would build me 4 subs if I can acquire the 3" coils. Any suggestions on where and what coils to get?

So are you saying I will be fine underpowering the subs and just as loud using the 1500 rms as I would be with the 1000 watt ones? I always was told/under the impression you could mess a sub up underpowering it just as easy as overpowering one. I have always tried to match rms as close as I could. With the 4 V2's at 1500rms that's 6000 rms and I am running the 35.1 which if I'm not mistaken is a little underrated but claims 3500 rms which I thought would be perfect on the 1000 watt V1's.

Your worrying more about matching rms to rms...which I can understand...but not always the case when people put 1000's of watts on subs CLEAN power and still be good. Either route you go, it'll be fine. Imo, you won't be underpowering them as long as gain is set correctly, should be bumping all day/night long.

Sounds like he may/may not have the avail parts in stock to put your subs together, if I'm reading that right. Then comes out with a newer version to replace the 1st version.

Yep that's what he said. Parts are unavailable and I should snag up the V2's. Looking like that's gonna be my only option if I want to run all Synergy. Maybe I'm getting worried for nothing?

Unless you had a version 1 or 2 sitting around waiting for the other 2 to be built, nah I wouldn't worry about it. If that was the case, then ya I'd worry lol. it happens sometimes. People wait...maye too long then before long, a newer version comes out and the 1st gets discontinued.

It's only been 4 months since they came out with the V1's but I hear what you're saying. They just posted the whole thing about being out of parts for the Old WFO's and how the new ones are coming soon and built here in the U.S. a few minutes ago since I was talking to them. Guess I'm gonna go ahead get the V'2s, Thanks for chiming in.

Unless this post is from 2016? I just saw where it said February 27th. Could be wrong but after looking back now I think I am correct. Pulling this straight from their facebook page.

I dunno...but 4 months seems to be a VERY short time-span for a new version to come out. On average, 1-2 years is normal for car audio companies.

I just looked at the facebook page again to confirm and the posts start today and I followed it back and looks like I am right.
