numbers are just figures here fyi

i run the fully loaded SSDs, i play my truck very hard, not one single BURNT lead. not a proken glue joint. no darkend coils. HOWEVER. i have broken many leads off the terminals due to playing under tunning and well.. playing them the way i did.

So why isn't every other company having problem with leads? Cuz most here use a Korean board of some sort on sundown, DC, IA and other companies of the like. Im not nut hugging any brand and I could see why None of the companies I listed would say not to use Korean amps since they sell them. But I never had a problem with my DC leads or crossfire leads. And the DCs coils kept going out from user error all 4 times. -15db cuz I wasn't sure what track to use, then too much power, too big of a box, and DC said the 4th time was my fault but I won't list what happened there. Anyway if there has been lead failure of other brands I haven't heard of it nearly as much?

To my understanding it's not due to mechanical limits it's due to the way the frequencies are filtered. You gotta remember these Korean amps come from an assembly line. I think Korean amps are the shit for the money. Hell that doesn't stop me from wanting to run some big power amps, just makes me aware of what can happen.

I'm running Koreans. And skars on top of that. I've soft clipped too. No issues even over powering my Sa's in a slightly too big box.

Not sure about the filtering. Guess a 40k signal to a sub would be bad and it must be coming from the output stage cause the lpf would catch it otherwise.

Is this something that is even a factor in low power rigs like mine?

What I want to know, is why are the tinsel leads considered the weak point here? Why not the coil?

So in theory FI subs are "better" now? I was thinking of going FI Team subs in Spring but now I don't know. Too early to tell. I can tell ya one thing, I ain't selling the amps I already got.

Oh and is there anyway to filter said frequencies?
