This is what happens when you trust a "reputable" stereo shop that you do business with to reverse mount the SMDs in a box but make the woofer cutouts too small on the bottom to where it pinches the surround upward and then throw a lot of power to them. After the suspension loosened up there was not enough roll on the bottom of the subs and they ripped their surrounds. The coil that got slammed was running for 4 months with a near complete torn surround and was held together with gorilla tape. Before sending them in to be reconed I wanted to see how hard I could push it.. well... thats what happened. Surprisingly.. it still played.. Just one coil was completely dead. I will admit though, for a sub to last through hell for 4 months without a surround and dust cap running basically on just its own spider and gorilla tape... simply amazing.

Did I mention that they still shook windows? lol.

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.
