you can think i was trying to show off but it was at like midnight and there was no one there so beats me on who i was trying to show off too

[cthedinger]

If money wasnt an issue for him, im sure he would "get over it"

im willing to bet $100 though, that if you blew a high end woofer within 12 hours of recieving it, you'd be a little pissed off too.

did u look inside the amp or tried it on some other sub ... doubt it was the subs(build) failure

the amp is fine like the first post said i took it to a shop and they tested it and played it on another sub for a while and it didnt fuck up the other sub

damn man that suck

how it works out for you some how

[99vic]

same thing happened to my level 4 15". first cone blew within a month and the level 5 recone i put on it lasted only 2 1/2 weeks.

Rusty thought my amp was to blame too, but the amp was fine.

i dont know what kind of power you were throwing at it, but my sub was seeing around 700-800rms with almost no voltage drop.

since its so fresh, he might help you out. he pretty much told me that there was nothing he could do about it...

are you sure you did the recone right? was the sub new when you got it the 1st time? if it was used thats the price you pay when buying used. are you sure you did the recone right the second time? i know the slightest mistake can be critical.

op just wait for rusty. but letting your music play at idle could of been the problem. if you had your car off and playing thats worse.

how'd you set your gains?

[oldschool]

a couple of questions what size was the box and what size is the port and what was your subsonic set to also are any of the magnets out of alignment.also what amp are you using and at what ohm load
