[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 7593428, member: 615398"] The coils smoked because they are tiny 1.5inch coils, what else can you expect from something that size. Sounds like they were being over driven. I had a pair of p1 10s from 2004 (red and black ones) and they had surprisingly good sq but didn't get very loud which is to be expected. I have heard a prime 12 as well and it was terrible, sq was meh at best and spl was just terrible, granted it was in a sealed box though. The primes will go lower than 43hz, its all in the box, but its just not gonna have great spl. The Prime series of subs is an absolute joke, just like the JL WX series. The product has been cheapened as much as possible and is sold to those looking for a label or a brand that is well known and trusted. 6mm of xmax is absolutely pathetic by todays standards, you can get more excursion, motor force and voice coil for the same price or less than the Primes. Its the same method as Volkswagen stripping down the Jetta (no power seats, windows, locks, radio) to get the base price down to around 14 or 15k.
