DD9915D!!!

OK, I just tested this and I am getting a very small difference between 8AWG wire solder to the tinsel leads and 8AWG going to the terminal and then the leads. All testing done with no coil attached.

I had two of those black and chrome, still dont know how to use them, but they did their job. That amp has a 450A draw, and as tested by a popular automotive electronics magazine with an emphasis on audio related gear, it produced 3010 watts on thier test bench. Jacks last hoora.

"You cannot run 2200 watts RMS on a 105 amp stock alternator." ^^^^^^^^ Not true in the least Heres a vid of your car, the monte, with an AQ2200D and two XFL 12s in custom boxes. Same set-up installed in a little Eclpise(with ZERO electrical upgrades)

I can do this!

Solid 3Kw tuned to 32hz

Well, let's play pretend and imagine I never asked. Watch it pull a 137. I would laugh! Yeah, speculation can be painful!

I got one for ya!

It's the whore'd out P4$ boxes from long ago. I got a crap ton of designs of them so I fig'd I might as well use it. Heres another vid, we swapped boxes halfway through the whole install, so it was bedlinered, now it is again! Lol! Getting meter'd on Jan 2-3, what do you guys think I will hit?

More goodies Test fir with a spare type r Finally clean Ah that Fresh coil smell No more wire brushes without taping off the pole piece! (look right in the middle) Cleaner Amps + batteries installed Vid of it getting off

HELL of a box!

Man, THANK YOU guys for checking this stuff out. I got a ton more pics from other systems I have done, check it out...

OMG, awesome, it's a Detroit thing. When I had long hair, I was skinny, I looked like Kid Rock, maybe I will be Marshall for Halloween, I can make my eye twitch like that too. I was all scared, thinking you thought I got my box design from someone named Marshall, hahaha! Thanks for the props, Chuck, and Chop, I am thinking about building more, even when I sleep... God I need a sig, lol

I got to shout out to Porkchop who I have met, along with his crew - IAK Sound Club. Hope to learn more than I know, and share just as much...

L715, Orion XTR15, Infinity 12, 12W6, 18W6, 13W3V3, and an AudioQue HD motor...

This is my old setup, I will see if I have a shot of the new hotness... My apartment I had charged for holes in the walls so I hung shirts on the back to make them less middy.

I run tlines and they rock. And they are loud as hell and have a wickedly flat response from 25hz-80hz I have a vid of the camera picking up 25hz pops, it's kinda cool. Check out the super-spud, it kicks the crap out of a XXX18. It has two 10s and maxes out at 800W.

Here you be This is with one custom built AQ HD315D1 wired up to 2ohm powered by 2 Hifonics 1608D strapped with a Maxx-Link The tremendous gain in the car is from the custom enclosure

This is me just being stupid, hey I have time and a video camera, what the hell would you do?! lol! Peep it, I am blowing up a perfectly good Kicker Comp 15 with WD-40, gas and an outlet. Poor thing never had a chance!! Lmk what you guys think.

"Dude, one question. After you determined it to be a "manufacturer defect", why in the HELL would totally destroy the thing? Now nobody knows what MAY have happened from the factory, and what you caused by plugging the thing into the wall effectively exploding the coil, former, and suspension. Truly an idiotic move on your part. The minute it started giving me problems I would have pulled it out and got into contact with the manufacturer. If you have an amp that's stuck in protect, do you short circuit the terminals and fry every component on the board?" Sure, I can address this. We knew we had a Problem. This is not the first time I have seen this, I knew that the frame was bent. The sub would tap all the time, On its side, on its other side, face up. You could tap on the cone and it would "ting", sounds like a coil tapping the pole piece. Cool, lets pop it and get a re-cone. Popped it, did an autopsy, found more than what we thought. I am pretty sure I know whats going on when I see metal chunks on the 35 dollar plastic part. ou really cant miss it. On your last question - Of course not, because I do not build amps, I build subs.

"The coil would clang and bang on the test bench and it would never leave, it would be rebuilt if the aluminum shaving was an issue that was causing everything to be off center...which..it wasn't." It took a year for the porblem to become an issue. It would have not happened on your test bench. "If you look under the plastic spacers they are not solid, there are spaces underneath every one of them that are void. Those spacers also compress when the basket is torqued down to the same spec on every screw..keeping all of it linear." Ok since you are assuming your customers are lying idiots who don't know what the hell they bought, lets try another scenario. You are putting rims on a car, theres a metal shard on the hub between the rim and the hub, you mount the rim applying the same torque to all lugs. Does this simplify the issue enough for you? Apparently, we all are deaf bastards driving cars off of cliffs. We don't use things like Fi and Martin Logan, and DD99 series, and run 52" Plasmas and drive Mercedes Benz for no reason. And deaf to boot. And apparently using outdated stone-age amps with no real value. C'mon, man, Also the spacers have two shards in two separate peices, PS it is aliminiumn from the frame. It is cast aluminium from the frame. NOT from the former as you suggested. HQ pics are coming so you can see this. The recone for the sub in question however, is up to Rob. I am inclined to defer to him on this, since it is his, but personally prefer to shop elsewhere in the future for altogether new subs.

Lets go through your claims one by one- "The color of that coil isn't normal by any stretch..." Of course not, it was plugged into an outlet, which is harsh to begin with. The coil(which you can clearly see in the vid was not the same color when we began to deliberately shorten its life. "get it back to us and we'll look at it. But I doubt very seriously if it would be deemed a defect." Not since shipping itself would cost as much as 75% of a recone - and we will get to your defect in second. Do not assume that because it did not survive an outlet - it is defective, it was defective before that. We knew there was a problem long before we decided to pop it, if there was one only ONE way to kill a sub my job would be very easy and every sub would have to be reconed for the same reason. Please do not suggest you can explain away your defect with user error - all the bass boost under the sun would not cause one side of the frame to be 1/4 of an inch higher than the other. "If the surround flange was bent (most likely in shipping) then it would not seal in the box. However if the surround flange was bent it has absolutely no bearing on rocking the coil like that..the surround has very little play in the suspension design of the BTL and it definitely will not rock the coil unless you are moving 4" peak to peak which is where the surround locks up, then it would start to pull on the coil." "You used bass boost which in and of itself is bad...the coil is black..and the suspension has been yanked so hard below tuning of the enclosure that it caused the spiders to pop like a potato chip..." Good save. I will honestly say the coil never saw 4 inch excursion, settings on the deck were down as far as they would go ( into the negative). This amp also a clipping indicator which never even blinked. Bass boost is at 35hz, your recommended enclosure tuning for this sub. "There never is CA glue on the plastic spacers...it does not go there. If there was a shaving odds are it probably came off of the coil once it was fried and the former started to blow apart." I accept it is not CA, whatever you call it, there was not enough of it to begin with which lead to the failure of that part of this sub. Please explain how a shaving that is clearly aluminium, got stuck between the frame and the heat ring - throwing the whole frame off balance, which is the case here, I might add. <<------ This is clearly the issue - having nothing to do with bass boost. "It's like running your car into a wall and taking it back to the ford dealership and saying that your cupholder is crooked and it caused the car to run into the wall." Actually, it's more like, "Hey the manufacturure screwed up my shocks, let's jump the Truck(the BTL would be an F-350 Crew Cab) off of stair gaps because they are sending me new shocks." "Regardless..send it in..." It's up to Rob.

So not heathly...

Infrasonic on amp set to 30, LP set to 60ish, gain is at about 6 out of 10. Bass boost is about 8 out of 10. We also have pics of the coil rubbing from the frame being bent. Throw up some pics Rob... Sub is fubar

Thank you sir, I love it!! Thank you, Chop, I did not tell Pete I was doing it, I sorta sprung it on him. Lol!
