Hmm....

That's too bad. It looks like a sexy unit.

yeah. whats the diameter on that thing anyways? i wonder how it would look on my 15?

worst thing about it is ive been trying to sell it for like 3 months now and i already took a pretty huge $ hit on it now im fucked

but i guess i will be making a DMX hybrid

not sure let me go take a measurement

thats sucks. im sure the sub wasnt reciving 3.5k anyways. it probably rose a good bit so it blew off less than the 3.5k. oh well. dont know much about them. feel bad for ya though

guesstimateing that it was somewhere around 3k-3.5k but good call

and i didn't have a tape measure on me but my guestimate that its about 5-6inch diameter dust cap

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.

Dunno bro, I had one DMX 15 take two visonik 4000xd's like a champ for over a year with STUPID amounts of abuse and countless deathmatch competitions that it survived (and I have the trophies to prove it) and thousands of high power burps... Maybe it was just defective, it does happen ya know. There are quite a number of variables that can go into someone smoking a sub, and about half of them you may not realize.

The smart thing would be to just get a recone from massive and dont turn it into another ghey hybrid.

what amp was used?? also did you measure the resistance of the DMM?? on my Dmm the resistance is .3 ohms so on my subs it reads 1.8ohms on each coil but actually they are 1.5ohm to each coil //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif So you may of been running .3-.4 ohm to the amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

How do you set the gains with a DMM. I thought the correct way was with an O-scope? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

tis but you can get a rough guesstimate with a DMM

there's a sticky on how to set gains.

You should've got a DD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No i didn't check the resistance of the DMM it's one of my dad's hand-me downs but i believe he purchased it for like $200. But i would assume that it is pretty accurate. something worth checking in
