its not torn all the way threw just like on the surface didnt notice it befor because i had the subs inverted...glad i pulled them out today thats forsure! will be getting goop in the future but from under the surround ( thanks thor for that idea! )

may get a free air vid in a day or so pretty impressive xmax for a level 3 ;)

power on the subs was roughly 1500rms ( audiopipe 3k at 2 ohm to a pair of subs)

i love thes dc sub videos but the tearing of the surrounds has stopped me from buying them so when i seen that thor went to high roll surrounds i thought yes now i can get my level 5 12''s im high roll then he tore his new surrounds so im thinking hes overpowering them and now i see your post 1500 watts on a pair of level 3's i wont be ordering mine till this issue is resolved just hope my subs can hold out that long. dc rubber surrounds problem solved!!!

thor only tears one sub being its closer to the port and with the power hes throwing at them there is no cone control and there over excurting/over throwing (sp) and the surround rips

its his box design more so then sub

as for the op didnt you have you box tuned super low

looking at your avatar you can clearly see the subs are wanging hard it was only time something happened

no it wasnt in that box they were fine after that i built a new box that was 2.6 at 33hz that it happend in

im assuming hte surround is the "limiting" factor on the excursion on teh dc subs i think if it had a little bigger one it would be fine

what i mean is make sure when the subs at full xmax make sure the surround has a little bit more left so they dont tear like they do

i had it tuned a little lower then 3k so im gunna say they were eaching getting 1000-1200 still pretty good for a sub rated at 600rms i think if hte surround was a bit tougher it wouldnt of happend there still fully working with no problems still but i dont think il pul 1000+ to them right now the way they are lol

so you put 1000-1200 to a 600rms sub and are complaining about issues??

Makes sense to me.

so you are worried about a surround tearing. When they are clearly putting double the rated power to them. I have never had a problem out of mine and there are many other people that run them and dont have any problems with them. So I wouldnt count them out because of a tearing surround from over powering.
