put in my new sub last night and the voice coil burnt out in less than 5 min

Correct.

In this case, if he really had the volume set on 3-5 like he states, I doubt he was getting anywhere near full output of the amp, even if the gain was set to max. . .

I don't think you should change your option of getting this sub over this incident. No one know FOR SURE what happened. Not many problems occur with DC Audio unless it was caused by the user. Every company isn't perfect but alot on here have great customer service and will help you out the best way possible.

don't think that. DC subs are great.

i don't stick up for a brand unless i have personally experimented with them. I have beat the shit out of some of rusty's coils and they are still going strong. I wanted to recone my lvl 4 12 into a 15 so i tried to blow that sub with a audioque 1200d and i could not do it. I sent it a full clipped signal for about 25 minutes and it only got warm with a little stink.

it is either his amp was set WAY incorrect or it was a one in a million faulty coil. DC's are great subs

You can't always tell if it's clipping. Especially if it's ported. I've found it harder to tell if it's clipping in a ported box vs. a sealed one.

same deal with me.

i still like DC Products and i plan to use them again on my rebuild.

Every company will get a few defects in their products, i just hope that you get better treatment than i did when my subs went down.
