b-dubs89 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Same thing happend to my RE Sxx the other day to some Tech n9ne haha go figure. strange music FTMFW. sending it in tomorrow for warranty. Might sell it and go to fi or sundown or AQ, good woofer just idk shouldn't be getting as hot as it was off my brz 1200.1 OP check coil resistance, report abnormalities. dmm the sub and if it reads the right ohms, it is not "Bad". not to thread jack , but say you have a sub and you can see the voice coil is black as nite, but it reads good on the ohms , should a guy be leery of said sub ?

Dillan Turvold Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I found the answer to my question in this thread as I took apart the sub... it was actually a very unnoticeable tear in the spider that I couldn't see until I actually took the sub apart.. thanks to everyone for your input though~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-dubs89 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 think the black color is indicative that some one has overpowered or clipped the shit out the sub and got lucky it didn't fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbake223 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 it was actually a very unnoticeable tear in the spider that I couldn't see until I actually took the sub apart.. thats wierd man not sure how that would happen i checked mine and the coil appears to be fine its not black, unless i just cant see it. The spider looked okay. The noise was more noticable on the higher frequencies too or like many slurred notes up and down quickly. My ohm lvl is fine. But what is weird is that i hooked up my previous RE SE-X which is 600 rms to my same gains of 1100ish rms and it handles it pretty well lol i turned it down to be safe. yet my SXX (1000 rms)is givin me problems.

Emmet Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 think the black color is indicative that some one has overpowered or clipped the shit out the sub and got lucky it didn't fail Not completely true, some voice coils are petty damn dark straight out the shop. Doesn't mean its been clipped. Quote i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you?

Chris Hammer Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 In an email from Sundown I was told they tested the SA to the point that smoke was coming off the sub and coming out the box. The voicecoil still checked out fine and OHM reading was identical. Just because you get em a lil hot or there is some discoloration doenst mean they are blown instantly.

LOL But the guy who complained it shouldnt be getting that hot on his 1200watts. You could put a 1000wrms sub on 1200watts thats clipped and have it get hot or 600wrms sub on 1200+ clean watts and be fine. Its all about the clean power lolz Even if you went to Sundown or AQ if you clip em they will get hot.
