Box is 2.5 cubes tuned to 34hz the amp was seeing a .6-.7 load everything at 13.6v

WAS a brand new sub.. played some sine waves thru it first to break it in..

Not even 10 min into regular playtime the sub went up in smoke //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif what a waste

I don't know about HIGH END, but they usually are able to handle what wattage they claim.

As did I? x2 what a waste of $350

Brand new freaking speaker had it hooked up for 10 min and its TOAST!

I didn't understand it either because it wasn't bottoming out or anything it just couldn't handle the power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

One of my Alpha's is in need of a recone and i hooked it up @ 1ohm and it went 30 min before it toasted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif DMX only lasted 10 min if that

its rated for 2500 i had about 3500 going to it IT SHOULD have lasted longer than it did.. (hence the reason i don't have a vid of it blowing up didn't expect it)

I was about to go inside and get a camera to take a vid of the setup and as i got in the car to shut the song off the sub stoped playing i thought WTF? went back there and smoke was just ROLLING out of the port it was pretty cool lookin hehe //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

wow that sucks man... i once heard for these subs to be pretty good also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Well, now that you mentioned that, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. If they rate it at 2.5kw, 2.5 doesn't equal 3.5.

30% overratings for that length of time is pretty good.

and my RD sub lasting almost 2x as long as the DMX and rated at 2kw?

Regardless the DMX can handle more than 2.5kw but i guess 3kw-3.5kw is out of the question //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif well a warning to any future DMX owners keep it at rated power

I am curious tho, did the sub die *before* you turned things down or did things go poof after?

If you blew two subs up in a matter of 40 minutes playing time you should check the gains on your amp or something else. Could be clipping your signal.

that's a small *** port.

i call dibs on that dust cap, if you're gonna sell it.

no it went poof as i walked away from the trunk to go shut the car off.

All gains where set accordingly with a DMM it was correct no clipped signals (I Purposely toasted the Alpha) it needed a recone
