Burning down the house with Boss!

[Natsuru]

Ok, so one of the Boss subwoofers finally caught fire today while driving

Still can't get that smell out of everything

So, about to buy replacement subwoofers

Do I go with

Sundown E-15 4 ohm

or

Skar IVX 15 4 ohm?


Both of them look pretty good

Edit

I don't care about which brand is better

Consider them both to be some new brand you have never heard of

In general, which sub is more resilient, and which sub is more suited for low frequency response in a standard enclosure?

Most of my music is in the 40hz area, if that matters

Yes, it was quite scary by the way, thought my car was going to burn down

Wait.... You mean... The sub, actually caught on fire? This is the sub we are talking about, not the amp?

[Noel989]

That smell is not pleasant lol

I would go with skar

Yep, yep

It was really, really scary

The car was filled to the top with smoke for about 10 minutes straight

it put itself out though, don't worry

The one that survived help with that

Thank you, surviving subwoofer, for putting out the fire

The voice coil was literally black and crispy when I took it apart

Actual fire damage

That smell is not pleasant lol

I would go with skar

Overall, in a simple enclosure with the same wattage, which one do you think will be louder?

Just talking about a hypothetical situation, obviously it's impossible to know what's going to be louder

I wouldn't care I prefer skar over sundown why that's just me

And you should now theirs no answer of which will be louder unless you test both out

this thread hurt my brain

I dunno man, now i'm torn over what to get

I'll flip a coin if I have to

this thread hurt my brain

As it should

I wouldn't be surprised if this gets locked...i really wanna hear why skar over sundown though.... I've owned comparable subs for both brands.

I don't see why it would get locked, i'm just wanting to know if one of these subs is better than the other

Unless there's some kind of inside taboo about asking that question, which seems silly

no taboo..but this thing called forum rules...there to prevent internet butthurt and arguments....especially over what sub is better. Look at the specs read up on what they mean and choose the one that meets your requirements..
