Burnt Coils?

[Thewes]

So I will not lie. I beat the shit out of this BL everyday with about 1600 watts continuously. I'm sure the signal is not the cleanest either, but after a month of slamming, I took it out and the only bad thing is the spider has a hole worn in it from tinsel slap. Now the coils do look a bit... off color. Is there a way to tell by looking at your coils if its beginning to burn? I don't exactly know how the process of blowing a sub works, if it gradually does it or it just blows at once, but here are some pictures, you tell me.

Not a Pro but they look fine to me.

You should try to get a clean signal at all costs though.

my old 18" bl had bad tensel slap. almost broke through the cone.

you coils look alittle on the dark side. that sub is getting its ass kicked by those 1600 watts daily.

I wont get anything from 2 BTL's getting 1600 watts. I guess it just means time to switch to the sundown 3000's. But really, are my coils that bad?

[andym85]

honestly, i think they look perfectly fine...of course i dont see burnt coils that often...

do ur subs get hot after u beat the hell out of them...if they do, then id say you are probably slowly cookin them...

[aquill1]

What is that sub rated at? What amp are you putting at it?

[Thewes]

Alot of people argue about what the sub can take, but I guess now we all know it can take atleast 1600 daily. Im putting a Sundown 1500 on it.
