dangaranga Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well, simply ordering them in the beginning was a PITA because i preordered them last summer and they missed the promised deadline by over a month. Strike 1 Lately they have dropped all forms of communication. Won't respond to emails/calls/ fb messages & posts. strike 2 And now the grand finale, both of my "Team 1k" 12's have fried every single tinsel lead, ON RATED POWER. strike 3 Now, from September up until a few weeks ago, i was running two vfl 120.1's strapped @.5 ohm per amp to the pair, which is way over rms of the subs, after which the tinsels and coils looked like they had just come out of the box. Then last friday I pulled one amp and went back to 1 vfl @ 1 ohm and on monday is when the subs died. Idk,but i'm pissed about them shitting out like that because I won't be able to upgrade for a month or so, and then to have the customer service go to shit is the cherry on the fucking cake. I'm gonna give soundqubed a try, hopefully the hdc4 18 treats me better. They all fried right where the last stitch holds the leads down too, which seems a little odd to me Brandon 2000 Furd Ranger supercab 4x4 System: welding wire throughout the truck USalts 390amp Hairpin Juicebox in stock location 8 Banks of maxwell supercaps 2 American Bass Vfl 1100.1 wired to .35 each 2 Fi Audio Sp4 18's ( the DD sc 9918's smoked) Pioneer radio with Soundstream PA mids Powered by a nice sized soundstream 2 channel It's pronounced (dain-ja rain-ja) 2001 2 door focus 1 DD9918 SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pioneerforlife Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 they put up with a lot of shit, but for them to do that on rated with no distortion is shit. I happened to see the coils and tinsels a week or so before this and they looked mint. so its kinds odd that this happened. its weird about their customer service as well because they used to respond quick.

n8ball2013 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 You admitted you overdrive them for months that's what happens. I've seen amps give up the smoke without any music playing.

dangaranga Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I know I overdrove them, but they were not clipped. I'm quite a stickler on that. I had several hundred hours of play time over rms power without issue. and like i said the tinsels were mint even after all that. I am more than willing to eat the cost, thats the name of the game, but they shouldnt have failed in this manner. Now if the cones had folded or the triple joint broke or i slinkied the coil, that'd be my fault and I knew what expect by overdriving them and wouldn't bitch. it's whatever. I'd just avoid c2 if you thinking of buying them, A buddy hit a bump going down the road and his c2 sub magnet shifted and they won't respond to him either.
