Ahh Subs Destroyed What Happened?

[The Log]

?
The log who the hell are you?

Anyway how did you set your gains?

What are the coils on each of the subs?

Can you push the cones on either sub down at all?

Yea like im that much of an idiot to make a whole nother name just comment my shitty *** system. yea right I do have a life. and look at when the kid made his name, he made it 2 day. look through my shit and youll see that ive been a member for a wile now and no ive never one a db drag or spl contest at any place ever. ive never even enterd in one. just ignore wut the kid says.

Gains are set fine no distortion only the orion has DVC and the other 2 are SVC. All subs can be fully X-Maxed the only one that has resistance is the orion and it always had resistance. everything semes normal except for the messed up cones

I hate to say it but you sound like you have no idea what your doing. Dont run subs of different brands/ohms ... bad idea. Save up some money, do your research then buy some better subs.

I dont mean to come off as an *** its just it seems to me your in over your head.

OK we maybe have strayed away from what I had original asked. Now why have my subs torn. I know that its not good to run my 3 different subs off of one amp. DUH I KNOW. Its bad for the subs and amp now does anybody here actually know speaker mechanics and could they tell me why my subs cone tore under use. Now if I said that it was one Orion sub hooked up to one MA amp then why did my cone tear. Was it too much back pressure since it was a sealed box or was there just a weak spot in the cone and it just decided to tear now after a year of play on a multi sub and ohm system.

I don’t mean to be an *** either but I feel that there has been some miss communication.

The original question was:

Why did my sub tear?

Simple question. Why did it?

theres a ton of things wrong that probably could have contributed to it but without someone actually getting to look at it, see all the wiring, view exactly how your amp is set, check your H/U settings, i doubt youll get a real answer. you may never find out why the things tore. To me it seems like overexcursion hence the tearing/warping/bending/whatever of the cones and surrounds. that MAY indicate an improperly set gain, ssf, crossover, it may indicate the wrong box sizes for each sub (not to mention the 2 are in one box)

Wow! I can remember when I was at a local car show doing db drags and this kid came in with a 90 ford probe. He had 3 different 12'' boxes standing on top of eachother with the effect of a wall, I gess. So I look inside at his woofers and began to laugh so hard that he heard me. He was like what is so fing funny? Was like nothing man nice setup I am sure you will do well in the contest. I mean I am not usually one to talk sh*t about someone elses stuff cause god knows I have had some crappy rides. But when you have 3 different boxes in there with 6 yes I said 6 differnt woofers in there then I am gonna snicker a little. Funny thing was he still did a 146.2 out of it. Must have been a good amp hidden somewhere lol!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

kid is gankstir.

the orion looks pretty old, it either tore from overexcursion, or physical damage; seems to me that the dustcap is all dented in; was it this way when you got it? if so, it's safe to assume the sub took some sort of physical abuse, which may have lead to the mechanical failure.

and although everybody is giving you a hard time, you did put effort into your setup. it's live and learn, and get what you pay for in this world, though; Remove the junked subs and run the chrome ones. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

that is one strange setup..

 

[BlownEARdRUMS 10+ year member]

I received the Orion with a crushed dust cap and a dead surround. I replaced the Surround and pulled the dust cap out best I could but it was too weak to fully stay up. It was running at 1.2 ohms at the amp. I don’t believe the amp was stable down to ohms. Could that contributed

Nope - that may have cooked your amp, but wouldn't cause that kind of damage to your subs.
