Syphlyn Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, Finally got my Zv4 12 after weeks of waiting from SSA car audio. Don't get me wrong they have been GREAT as far as customer service goes. No complaints there so far. Love this beast of a woofer but only have two days of lightly using it (no alt installed yet so I have it pretty low due to keeping my voltage above 14). And sections of my surround are starting to detatch from the frame. So far it's started in 2 spots, with one spot being completely separated for about 2 inches. For now I've stopped using it completely until this gets sorted out. I would prefer not to fix it myself as before I ordered this subwoofer I asked if this issue had been fixed and was told it was on these forums by "sundownz" ***I AM NOT BLAMING HIM!! I know shit happens!!***. The glue is starting to peel too as you can see in the last picture... Here's the thread for that: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190519-has-sundown-fixed-the-issues-with-the-zv4s/ I've sent an email to SSA audio and am awaiting a response. I'm told that all companies that had Zv4s in stock from the factory were told ship back to get bolted on surrounds. Pictures on next post... AN UPDATE: As of now everything is taken care of, Sundown has provided excellent customer service through this whole ordeal regardless of my panicking on Friday afternoon! Thank you Jacob & Bryan.

Krakin Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would contact sundown before doing anything what-so-ever to it. However, from the looks of it, it looks like you could just get a small amount of CA glue and just glue it back. 2 Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Krakin Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I understand your side, but if all they are going to do is the exact same thing, might as well save some time and effort on your end. 1 Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

GSanders17 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would think you will most likely wind up with the same woofer with the proper fix. I will say though I don't think you should be paying for shipping at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundownz Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) It would be taken care of via warranty. Typically we build a new driver in any such case. Fill our an RMA form on our site. All *factory* made units have bolt-on clips -- that looks like a unit made in-house; in which case it's incredibly rare to see this... so I'll put the built-crew on alert about it.

So I will get a new speaker entirely. That is what I'd like. I filled out an RMA form. How is the shipping taken care of? edit: thanks for the swift reply Jacob, it's much appreciated.
