Blown Type r's???

[milellie111 10+ year member]

Hey guy's, i have had my type R's(the new 05 version) SWR=1242D installed in a Qlogic 1.25 cu. ft sealed box for about 2 weeks. They have pounded! Today though, i was riding around, bumping for about a good 30 minutes when i noticed that one, or maybe both of my subs started playing weird. I switched the song and i heard a bottoming out sort of clap rattle noise each time the bass hits and it hasn't stopped since and sounds really bad. It was very hot today in DC(105 degrees) so i don't know if heat has anything to do with it. I have them powered off of a MB Quart RA1000 amp and the gains are usually kept to about 1/4 of the way up, sometimes i turn it up to about 1/2 with the remote gain lead. The Bass EQ is about halfway up also. Does anyone know if they are blown or not? I got them from Best Buy about 2 months ago, will they replace it? Thanks for all your help.

unless you got a service plan with the woofers all they will offer to do is send them to alpine to get fixed...

There is no fixing it.

Ok, good news... I took it to my installer this morning and he said that my subs are not blown, it sounds like the box is coming apart from the inside. Everytime the bass hits it sounds like a clank noise and he said that he could feel it coming apart from the bottom. I can see where that would be possible because these subs were really pounding for the last 2 weeks but i thought QLogic boxes were made of better quality than that. I use to have an 50 dollar audiocraft box when i had my Visoniks for over a good year and it never came apart.
