...wall socket!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Without visible damage? Uhm... Nothing I can think of.

The easy way to destroy subs is to hook them to a wall outlet. Any sub that lasts more than a few seconds like that is a **** good sub (it's like running 1650W of 60hz test tone to a sub). In a really carefully built ported enclosure, a couple of subs might hold up. But free-air, goodbye //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

sp just from the positive slotty parts of the socket to the positive on the sub and then no negative?

turn up the gain to max, n turn up the boost to max, n crank it up

or just turnin boost to max n crankin it up should do the trick too.

Run the positive from the outlet to the positive on the sub, and the negative on the outlet to the negative on the sub (w/o the negative it's not a complete circuit and won't work). But make sure if you do it to use an outlet on a switch (and that the switch is off!) You don't want to get electrocuted doing this -- the idea is to kill the sub, not you! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

to screw best buy well, the real reason is: my friends mom is going to occasionally drive his car and she thinks 12s are too big and to loud ,so she says he has to get 10s and if he gets 10s, then she will buy one of those 150 dollar clarion mp3 decks off ikesound and a boss dvd/tuner since he already has a screen ( he tihnks he blew out his alpine deck by putting a swtich in the remote wire to the amp, i just havent told him his dekc isnt blown because clarion ownsz! right JEFF LOL )
