box for a beast of a 15

Can you explain this a little further, like what exactly happens? I've just never heard of it before.

I have not had it happen to me, but friends in the industry told me about if an enclosure is too small the sub can freeze from the pressure buildup. I have seen and touched frozen subs, but not exactly sure on the physics behind the phenomenon

I took apart a W7 that was frozen. The coils just come apart from the winding and get stuck between the gap. It feels like a rock.

Thats from getting the coils hot lol. It wouldnt make sense for a sub to lock up on proper power. I would imagine the cone shifts the coil and it gets mashed up in there. But we shouldnt be running that much power lulz

I hope for your sake I'm wrong........ but that is very rare

Yup so that's why I don't think that seal problem is really... a problem lol.

im not going to take any chances with this sub. the gain is off the sub control on the hu is at -20/24 and im only putting the volume to 30/40. if anything does happen to it i will sell the mmats and give up car audio.

Well in that case open that sub up and ill buy the motor and your mmats //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A sub that needs 5k is inefficient.

you know me better than that, i would feel sick if i ruined an amazing piece of equipment such as that sub, and you know how much i had to work to get that mmats

who said it needs 5k, its running on right around 2k now, and it sounds awesome, it is built for 5k.

No sealed enclosure is capable of producing the pressure of a ported box at tuning. I call BS.
