dwright27 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I kinda felt like this was gonna happen after you posted that video. Curious why you felt that way? Just the excursion you showed, I felt was a little to much. Just my opinion. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

AI James Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Its a 7500 watt amp on a single 12 getting ground pounded with a cone and surround built for 8 inch spiders not 10 and DC still got hated on for it. wow . It probly folded the cone. The surround on that sub was not designed for as much travel as those spiders will allow. Its not a production sub it was a custom request to build it. I dont see how this is a negative reflection on the company. then dont build it, seems pretty easy to me, if it doesnt work then dont sell/build it for someone to destroy/flame your company Bad or good sub doesnt matter imo, i think i looked at it for 10 seconds max when it was at the shop. This really isnt an issue to bring up with DC as far as shoddy quality. If anything it should be why build something you know doesnt work? Looking at how much business your company gets, its clearly not because you need the business. Sometimes its worth more to tell a customer that wants something that doesnt work, just that "it wont work". If they still want it have them go elsewhere. Again, doesnt matter who made the cone its the matter of making the cone and selling it knowing full well that it doesnt work. and i already know...the tinsels NEVER had issues either.

I have been running this same sub only longer WITH NO ISSUES....Its not an issue of the sub failing more so why. When a sub is damaged why do people always point fingers to the company and now the overall system design. Larger power systems can go south fast with a small error. Not something 95% of people see because there not running something on that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Damn, James really hates DC. This is not a bashing thread. We tested the sub and it blew. OK. Rusty, i'm gonna send you a PM real quick, and check the email I sent you. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudBimmer Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Its not a matter of the sub "not working" your just not going to be able to put a 7500 watt amplifier on that driver and everything be OK But you knew that he's gonna run 7500wrms to it. How come you didn't warn him about having this type of issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 You all need to stop "blaming" Rusty. He did warn me that the surround may be the first thing to fail. It did not, the cone did. I have only pushed the sub hard a couple times, and when it actually failed, it was not an all out run. WE are handling it. This was only meant to show the blown sub. I am not blaming anybody. You all have your opinions, but no need to bash on other members of the forum.
