[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 3083600, member: 573988"] no but he had them sealed in about 3.5 cubes... and they shared the same chamber... but on seperate amps.... the most likely explanation is that the subs were in too big of a box, allowing the sub to reach mechanical failure before burning the coil... and the gains were set a little high so he was getting some clipping.. the spiders seem to be the weakest part of the cone assembly, the cone shure as hell won't break that easy, and the surround is pretty sturdy too actually the type-x's recomended specs are very flexible, for a person's prefference... the 10's accept 500-1000 watts and sealed enclosures from .5 - 1 cubes... this doesn't mean you can do whatever you want... (a .5 cube box at 500, er a 1 cube box at 1000...) it is a guidline... the bigger the box, the more efficient the sub/ the less power you need to make the sub reach it's mechanical limits...(torn spiders)... so in my opinion, if you plan on giving them 1000+... give them a MAXIMUM of .75 cubes a peice... if you do go with the bigger box, you will have the KILLER lows, but wimpy higher bass... some music won't sound good... and they will be easier to blow... smaller box, will give you a more even responce, and with 1000+ you will still have the killer lows and DEF. put them in separate chambers...
