I've seen quite a few type r's including 1 I used to have with similiar damage at the ribs. I have no idea what causes it.

Glad i'm not the only one that's noticed that over the years. Excursion is the only thing that would make any sorta sense.

alpine should change it up a bit

that's def not an issue with excursion that's where something impacted the surround during play, be careful doing that it can cause the VC to rub in the gap and short out after the epoxy coating is damaged.

I don't know my 10's are fine and I blew the surrounds off the baskets.
