AA audio arsenal (pics0, the conclusion

^^^Q...u shouldn't put this unless ure an official representative of the company itself....u will mislead these ppl...

this turning into a he say they say - most i can advise if d kits costing too much try another kit on it & see what happens ...

You contradict yourself. You say they were not abused, but then you say:

"if you can make it unbreakable, bring it to trinidad and they will find a way to break it"

"trini's need a much more durable sub,that can handle alot of abuse"

I am just curious, if you knew people there break everything, why did you sell them one of AA's least expensive drivers? Arsenals were made to add quality bass to an audio system, not build SPL monsters. Havocs or Mayhems would have been a much better choice for abuse. . .I am sure cost was a factor, but when you buy a sub made for X amount of performance, that is all you get. Try to get more and you get failure.

As Nick said and I will say again, that coil did not come from AA black. It was nice copper when it was new. That alone is an obvious sign of over powering the sub.

Want a sub for abuse? Try Mayhems. Not that they are indestructible, but they are tough! Check the video of my van, and I have NEVER blown a sub:

its a shameful day to be a trini yes ...

trinis have this stupid , backward mentaility and an affinity to stupid high tuned boxes ... even though they tune high they try to play stuff with extra low freq. info eg young jeezy ... sigh

and another thing some people think they know it all and think every speaker is underrated sigh ... so what if it has an accurate rating?... does it make it a bad driver?... man i could go on and on

but give us credit we have some world class installs both in terms of sound quality , output and craftsmanship

I was backing you all the way to here.

You just made it clear that these subs were abused.




And sorry about that casper...

ok, let's say they were abused(to the best of my knowedge they were not)

i understand where u are comming from there,i called one of the customers came for a check up based on what you were telling me

this is what i saw for myself-

gains straight up
sub levels stright up
frequencies straight up


so based on this, i retract all my statements, and i apologise on that, trini's like to interfare to much

the only prob is the dry-rot of the suspension and can it be fixed

but just a note, the subs in trinidad are $1200, thats about 200usd

whats you retailing price, seeing that you said it's one of you cheapest subs?

well u see it goes to show : as an installer u set everything correct for d customer but when they leave ur place they can screw up things & then come to complain to you making u feel its you or d products fault ...glad to see this is finally straightened out .......

Glad we now know what happened.

On another note, that surrounds looks like it has been wet from more than just humidity. I bet it was played hard before given the chance to fully dry.

Dry rot would be the entire suspension and would just fall apart in your hands. And I don't believe just one area would have dry rot while the rest of it looks pretty good.

Foam suspension protectants have come a LONG way the past ten years. You will normally see foam on high excursion subs because rubber will suck back under extreme pressures.

As bad as those suspensions look, along with the burned coils, I would definitely recone them before trying to just repair the suspension. I PM'd you recone prices. . .

If you have any other questions with pricing, email me at fi.recone.kits@gmail.com

I'm glad that you guys from AA came to settle this in a very mature manner. I hope you stick around to educate us further in your industry!


I'm always happy to learn

thanks alot to all for your help on this topic

on another note, what am i to do as an installer, being that people interfare and don't take the responsibilty?

the last time i put my foot down, i lost 3 customers flat,even after throughly explaining what has happened to them

the last response i got was-
"dred me eh interfare wit nuttin"

me-
"when you tight ot by a bar, can you remember anything?"

customer-
"dais not d point,i buy this and it damage"

me-
"well it is your fault,due to you lack of reponsibility"

fella-
"what ever wee,felck you nah u is ah no good"


now that just goes to show,most customers don't take responsibility for their actions

so as an installer how can i combat this?

^^^make a new thread and discuss
