Thewes Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Ill sum up my story as quick as I can. So a while back I ordered 2 15'' BLs. Got them, opened them up, looked great, put them back in the box, and let them sleep untill I started my build about 2-3 months later. Well I go to install them and notice as I take the second BL out of the box, that the motor is COMPLETELY cracked in half, so I get in touch with Scott and he takes great care of me, sends me a brand new sub. So I do the install and slam around for about 3 months, untill I decide I want to go bigger and do a full revamp so I take everything out of my car. I can tell which sub is new because the older one's spiders were alot loser since I jammed it while I waited for my second sub replacement. Anyways, after taking a closer look at the older 15, I noticed the magnet was also cracked, but not completely. This got me wondering shit, I guess BOTH subs were damaged in shipping and I only noticed the fully cracked one, because I handled them with care during their time out of the box and when in the box I never played them hard enough to well... split the damn magnet. It performs fine... Its a hairline crack almost all the way around. My question now is... I plan on getting 2 more BL's and reconing the two ones I have no so they have some fresh spiders, but should I be worried about this crack? Ive played it for 3 months straight now and had no problems, but is it just a matter of time before it splits all the way and the coil freezes up? Any help would be awesome. Short version... Bought 2 subs, one was cracked, Scott took care of it and replaced it. Jammed for 3 months, redoing system so I removed everything. Noticed the older sub that I never replaced was also cracked, but not as bad as the first one that I returned. I slammed the one with the smaller crack for 3 months daily. Should I be worried about the cracked magnet? Quote
