[QUOTE="Lowlacs, post: 8157725, member: 642968"] So I got my two 15s (600rms/1200peak) installed yesterday wired @1ohm. I gained my amp to 800rms with a dmm @45hz since thats where my truck and box(5.5^3 with 14in of port per) peak. After I read a bit about T/S parameters I realize they should prolly be used in sealed aplications only but still I decided not to build a sealed box. Heed my warning fellows, as my results were great for the first run but during the second ride, one of mine "caught the clap". I pulled it and could see no apparent damage so I read the coils, one tested fine at 4.2ohms and the other coil was dead with no resistance. So I will conclude MY paticular failure was prolly user error based on the Qts of 1.0 this woofer should not have been in a ported enclosure. I will prolly still leave a decent review since they were playin hard and I figure the failure to be my mistake. Im gonna offer to ship it back to Lucky if they care to test and inspect the failure but if they dont want it, well, then Ill cut it open and get gut shots for u guys. Edit* Before anyone slams me or my experience the coils are still golden/red and there was NO warning ie; smells or overexcurion, I know this because the woofer enclosure sits on the rear seat of an ext cab chevy truck, for easy removal if the whole famn damily has to ride.
