8" sub made from SA12 motor and sa8v2 parts with spacer.

Put it on about 1300w free air at 20hz and then eventually a socket.

at 20hz it took about 5-6 minutes but the triple joint started to fail....

then put it on a wall socket and took about 20-30seconds and actually jumped the gap from the triple joint failing and coil landing on top of the top plate getting stuck. Was pretty funny.

Stripped it and sold it dirt cheap a few days later.

crf250r - Used to be race bike..now I just trail ride..practice at the track on it.

CH80 - Daily beater (when nice weather)best 150$ ever spent. 100+mpg

Shower farts still piss me off.

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

Currently:


* Hybrid Audio Legathia 3-Way Active Front Stage


* (2) Morel Ultimo 12's


* (2) Arc Audio 1100.1 XDi v2 (Strapped @1ohm)


* (1) Arc Audio 1200.6

Never blown a sub or amp when I was just listening to music. The 8" is the only sub I ever mess up and that was on purpose and just to see mechanical limits. Little beast took it like a champ though for a long time. Brother did blow a few shitty amps from poweraqoustik and audiopoop......and som crappy components.

I also did blow a set of older mbquart(maxxsonics) midwoofers from a component set. Put them on the same 1300w amp wired in parallel to 2ohm haha.

Blew a Kicker Comp on a Hifonics BRZ2100.1D at 4 ohms. Took some pretty good abuse for a few weeks and then one day I decided to see if it'd handle more. It didn't

Also blew the dust cap off my 1st 12 inch Zcon. Box in the trunk port driver's side on the BRZ2100 and had front windows down with driver's door open and then I opened driver's rear door as well while playing low 20s and it just went crazy. Ended up gluing the cap back on and it's still working to this day!

Blew an old 2 channel amp, can't remember the brand even, it was when I was getting started and a retarded buddy had me wire 2 2-ohm subs in parallel to one channel.

Blew a T3 T.1000 12 that had been refurbed by the fucktard owner Demuth himself, had coil rub from the start and just failed after a while. Other one still works though.
